The original dungeon GoodGuy, and meeting him in the middle of Level 2 is often a sign of good things to come. Originally posed three riddles - the more you got right, the more helpful info you got. Series 3 turned these into 'step clues' - a series of clues to a dance routine you had to perform to get his magic. Left at the end of Series 4, but he's still talked about well into the next few series.

* Flanderization: His last series is often seen as a misuse of John Woodnutt's talents. Merlin in the stocks with the dungeoneer having to free him? Yes, he's forgetful, but his magic should be stronger than any other.
** Though the stocks episode is subject to an AlternativeCharacterInterpretation in that it was simply a different style of task he wanted to try out for a change.

Ambivalent, if egotistic, warlock who went from a slightly ambiguous character in Series 3 to finally having to pick a side by Series 5. Stuck around until the end of Series 8.
* EarnedStripes: Hordriss' promotion in Series 5 made him wear a gold medallion.

Dragon who arrived in Series 5 to transport dungeoneers from Level 1 to Level 2. Only usually averted if the dungeoneers had faced an easy Level 1 and producers wanted to give an extra challenge to dungeoneers via the Descender. Flew away after Series 8.

The show's dungeon master, who guided the teams through, introduced the challenges, and really made the Dungeon his own. Originally he was a deliberately ambiguous character, and in earlier series especially didn't seem to care what happened to those in his dungeon maze, but in later series was firmly on the good side of the divide. The only character to last all eight series.

Treguard's assistant from Series 4-6. More of an avowed GoodGuy than Treguard ever was, and was likely inserted as Treguard's {{Foil}}. Left at the end of Series 6.
* BaseBreakingCharacter: Though fans generally liked Pickle and praised David Learner's acting, they're divided on whether his character was really necessary, and whether Treguard was better on his own.
