90[[folder:Paeden]]
91!!Paeden
92!!!Voiced by: [-Anthony Burch-]
93
94An orphan who has been a fighter in orphan cage fights for years, Paeden was picked up by the Dads when they entered the bar he was in.
95----
96* BreakoutCharacter: A random NPC who would be loved by the daddies and audience alike.
97* CombatPragmatist: Despite his lack of skill, he's still managed to stab someone [[GoForTheEye in the eye]] to incapacitate them.
98* CutHimselfShaving: Comes up with some terrible excuses when trying to convince Glenn that he didn't hit himself after losing his "fight" with Ron.
99* DarkAndTroubledPast: Just the fact that evidently he's been in the orphan fighting ring for quite a long time and being exposed horrifying levels of violence from a young age, with no family to call his own. Also later reveals that [[spoiler: his father is actually still alive and somewhere in the forgotten realms,which begs the question of what exactly happened to cause him to leave Paeden.]]
100* DreadedKidsTable: Paeden is always frustrated when being left out of dad huddles after [[spoiler:learning that he is actually Darryl's father Frank, but without his memories.]]
101* FosterKid: Abandoned by his father and made to fight as one of the Unfortunate Foster Children and later [[spoiler: put up for adoption by the dads after they defeat Terry Sr.]]
102* HatesTheirParent: While his hatred might not be as vehement as other examples, his motivation for travelling with the Dads comes from wanting to [[CallingTheOldManOut confront his father]] for abandoning him at the UFC.
103* HoistByHisOwnPetard: How he loses after challenging Ron to a fight when Ron said that Paeden couldn't beat up his dad. He wound up his fist for a hit and somehow managed to hit himself in the face so hard that he was knocked out.
104* LeeroyJenkins: Peaden is described as having "the eye of the tiger," though it's really just this. He's willing to fight anyone—yes, ''anyone''—even though he's an awful fighter.
105* LittleStowaway: Hides in the back seat of the car and tags along when the dads leave for Ravenloft.
106* MrExposition: As with most of the NPC's and side characters, his character is used to convey exposition like history or information about items/characters. Unique in that in-story he has the, "Eye of the Tiger" which allows him to see the power levels and stats of enemies. As he says though, it just allows him to see their strength, not actually help him win.
107* TheNapoleon: Short? Check. Loves picking fights? Double check.
108* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Played straight with and then hilariously subverted. The Dads, after vanquishing Vampire!Terry Sr. set up a makeshift adoption agency in the town in order to find him a proper home and eventually leave him with the town blacksmith. However it takes almost half an episode for the Dads to actually finish saying a tearful goodbye, and have to awkwardly keep passing by Paeden and his new stepfather as they try and leave town...and even then, evidently they don't actually move far enough away to keep Paeden from overhearing them or being close enough to run back to respond.]]
109* SociopathicHero: His solution to Glenn's hiccups is to scare him by cutting his Achilles Tendon.
110* TagAlongKid: For a time, before he was PutOnABus.
111* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: The dads are anchored to the forgotten realms and he is Darryl's anchor. He's holding the soul of Darryl's father.]]

115[[folder:Cern/Lizardboy Scales [=McStuffins=]]]
116!!Cern
117!!!Voiced by: [-Anthony Burch-]
118A lizard-man that starts off as an enemy of the dads, but later joins them on their journey.
119----
120* DramaQueen: After leaving the party when discovering the dad's secret, Will is fairly certain he'll get over it.
121* IOweYouMyLife: Cern believes he owes the dads his life, since because of them he managed to leave the castle before it was crushed by a giant pyramid. [[DramaticIrony He doesn't know that they're the ones that (accidentally) dropped it.]] [[spoiler: When the truth is revealed later, this trope is dropped and Cern becomes a revenge-bent DeathSeeker.]]
122* LizardFolk: True to his nickname of Lizardboy Scales [=McStuffins=]. Not as chaotic or evil as the trope usually is, once he introduces himself after initially being a [[AscendedExtra nameless enemy]].
123* PoorCommunicationKills: While disguised he [[spoiler: tricks the dads into pulling cards from the Deck of Many Things. He believes they are in a field where violence can't happen, so they should be safe from many of its negative effects. However the dads disabled the field just a few minutes earlier.]]
124[[/folder]]
125
126[[folder:The Library]]
127!!The Library
128!!!Voiced by: [-Anthony Burch-]
129A wandering creature that loves to collect and lend out books to anyone who wants one. Seems harmless enough at first, but something... seems off about him.
130!! Tropes:
131* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: His own strict rules about killing anyone who damages his library books backfires when the dads trick him into destroying one of them, eventually leading to him bludgeoning himself to death.]]
132* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:If any of the episodes that involve him retrieving books from his stomach, cutting off Darryl's hand with a tongue that acts like a saw or the hints he drops that he eats the flesh off children don't convince you he's this, the episode where the Dad's fight him and he reveals himself as a mass of rubbery flesh that wears cars as shells and smashes people to a pulp with books will. It seems as if his goofy personality is just a disguise for how terrifying he really is.]]
133* ScaryLibrarian
134* WouldHurtAChild: He'll kill anyone who fails to return his books on time, even if they're children.
135[[/folder]]
136
137[[folder:Scam Likely/[[spoiler: Well, Actually.]]]]
138!!Scam Likely
139!!!Voiced by: [-Anthony Burch-]
140-> ''"Don't trust all you hear or see, you've been called by Scam Likely"''
141A shapeshifting trickster and general scam artist that, despite being a creature from the Forgotten Realms, seemingly has the ability to call the dads on their phones.
142!! Tropes:
143* DramaticUnmask: [[spoiler: In episode 27, Benedict Cabbagepatch pulls off his moustache to reveal that he's been Scam Likely the whole time.]]
144* InkSuitActor: Anthony Burch says Scam Likely is just High School Anthony when he [[spoiler: is transformed into Well, Actually.]]
145* InsufferableGenius: Scam Likely becomes one after [[spoiler: being resurrected and immediately alignment shifted into Well Actually.]]
146* MasterOfDisguise: Can apparently disguise himself perfectly as more or less anyone.
147* [[MeaningfulName Names To Trust Immediately]]: Why wouldn't you trust a mysterious caller named Scam Likely?
148* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Pre-episode 44 is only ever seen imitating Glenn Close or Benedict Cabbagepatch. Since he's related to the horrifying Library, it may be AFormYouAreComfortableWith.
149* ShooOutTheClowns: Killed when stealing the Orb of Dragon Stealing from the Purple Robes.
150** Seemingly averted when [[spoiler: resurrected by Mr. Moustache. However he very quickly is alignment shifted to Well Actually.]]
151* SplitPersonalityMerge: Subverted. His opposite identities as Scam Likely and Well, Actually don't cleanly merge and seem to cause the newly-formed Scam Actually some amount of mental anguish.
152* TheTrickster
153[[/folder]]
154
155[[folder:Erin O'Neil]]
156!!Erin O'Neil
157!!!Voiced by: [-Anthony Burch-]
158A garden witch that the Dads meet in Roqueporte. She takes her job so seriously that she considers trees and plants her children. After [[spoiler: burning their books due to a misunderstanding]], she temporarily joins the Dads as a SixthRanger on their quest.
159!! Tropes:
160* BackFromTheDead: Erin was the witch killed and resurrected in the one-off episode, "Interlude - The Witch is Dead." [[spoiler: Which came in handy in the main campaign when she was killed by the Librarian.]]
161* EcoTerrorist: She isn't telling the dads to kill anyone on behalf of the trees. But if they did kill everyone in the forest then that would work out for her.
162* {{Familiar}}: She keeps various birds as familiars.
163* GaiasVengeance: Intendeds to overrun Roqueporte with awakened trees and drive out the villagers.
164* GreenThumb: As a garden witch, she can command trees and plants according to her will.

166* VitriolicBestBuds: She's exasperated,annoyed and generally exhausted with Daddies, but its pretty obvious that she's secretly quite fond of them.
167* WitchClassic: She's the image of a traditional witch.
168[[/folder]]
169
170[[folder:Walter the Immoral]]
171!!Walter the Immoral
172!!!Voiced by: [-Anthony Burch-]
173A bullywug blacksmith who lives in Roqueporte and becomes Paeden's adoptive father. He first appeared when the dads searched Roqueporte for a foster dad to leave Paeden with, and continues to help the dads out.
174!! Tropes:
175* ForcedTransformation: He was turned into a [[FrogMen bullywug]] when he was labeled a murderer.
176* GadgeteerGenius: Probably counts as one given that he was able to build [[spoiler: a functioning wooden motorcycle after inspecting the Honda Odyssey's engine for a single day.]]
177* NonindicativeName: [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Walter the Immoral]] is actually a very nice guy. Walter was given the title after a local hero using a sword he made was killed by the sword breaking and going into his throat.
178* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Apparently went on a grand adventure while babysitting the sons.
179[[/folder]]

188* EyepatchOfPower: Always seen wearing an eyepatch [[spoiler: that was later revealed to be covering a [[ElectronicEye cybernetic eye]].]]
189* ImplausibleBoardingSkills: Along with being able to ride his skateboard on grass, he has been [[VideoGame/TonyHawksProSkater comboing tricks]] for literal years.
190[[/folder]]

194!!!Voiced by: [-Anthony Burch-]
195
196An intern for the Bad Dogs Mercenaries who joins the daddies when entering the pyramid.
197----
198* HeroicComedicSociopath: Shows up with a corpse the dads need. It's unclear whether or not he made the corpse or found it.
199* TheFriendNobodyLikes: In the stinger of the episode that has [[spoiler: Doug's death by disintegration]] Will says Doug is the one character he doesn't care about.

240!!Carol Wilson
241!!!Voiced by: [-Anthony Burch-]
242Darryl Wilson's wife and the mother of Grant.
243----
244* HappilyMarried: Averted. Carol is heard in the first episode chewing Darryl out for losing the kids and turning to Darnell, the kid's soccer coach. She's thinking of divorcing Darryl in part because she sees how happy Darnell is with his husband. In the finale [[spoiler: they move toward reconciliation when they are reunited.]]

252Henry Oak's wife and the mother of Lark and Sparrow.

257[[/folder]]
258

262
263Ron Stampler's wife and the mother of Terry Jr.

281!!Hermie the Unworthy
282!!!Voiced by: [-Anthony Burch-]
283
284A weird theatre kid at San Dimas High School who takes method acting way too seriously. Initially written off as some weirdo obsessed with Scary, the Teens learn more about him after he accompanies Normal to the school dance and he quickly cements himself as their sidekick.
285----
286* AmbiguouslyBi: Starts with an apparent crush on Scary and regularly flirts with Normal, though it's not clear how much of these interactions are genuine and how much is role preparation.
287* ButtMonkey: Gets horribly injured in every fight that he participates in.
288* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler:It's revealed in Episode 23 of Season 2 that he's Taylor's uncle, the son of Jodie Foster and Scam Actually.]]
289* CharacterizationMarchesOn: There was pretty much nothing in his initial appearances to suggest that he was anything more than some creepy wimp who wanted to score with Scary; it isn't until Episode 6 that his [[MethodActing Method Actor]] shtick is established.
290* DramaClub: The Teens eventually learn that he's a member of the San Dimas High drama club, and that his weird behavior when they first met was role preparation for a stage play adaptation of ''[[Film/Joker2019 Joker]].''
291* {{Fanboy}}: He ''really'' likes Franchise/{{Batman}}'s RoguesGallery, and spends much of the Season MethodActing as them (first the Joker, then Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, etc).
292* MethodActing:[[invoked]] He takes this technique ''very'' seriously, much to the annoyance of pretty much everyone around him.
293* ObliviousAdoption: [[spoiler:He had no idea that he was adopted, and is shocked to discover that his real parents are both mysterious magical beings.]]
294%%* PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars: As a result of his adventures on [[spoiler: the real Earth]]. (elaborate???)
295%%* SupportPartyMember: Accompanies the party on their adventures (support???)

297
298
299!!Antagonists
300[[folder:The Purple Robes **Major Spoilers** [[spoiler: aka the Omega Daddies]]]]
301!!!Voiced by: [-Anthony Burch-]
302Three mysterious robed figures who are implied to have brought the dads to the forgotten realms. In episode 29 it is revealed that they are the fathers of the main cast: Willie Stampler, Barry Oak, and Bill Close.
303----
304!!The Omega Daddies in general:
305* AmbiguousSituation: It starts unclear if they're really the dead grandfathers, or if they're like Terry Sr. They are the real grandads.
306* TheArchmage: Each of the Omega Dads are capable of casting 9th-level spells, putting them on par with the most powerful adventurers in a typical D&D adventure.
307* ArchnemesisDad: To Ron, Glenn and Henry.
308* ImmortalitySeeker: The Omega Daddies kidnap the main cast’s sons to fuel their Daddy Magic so that they can live forever.
309* TalkingInYourDreams: They visit the Dads in their dreams to taunt and belittle their parenting.
310* ToxicFriendInfluence: The purple robes acknowledge that Willie is an awful person, but follow him.
311
312!!Barry Oak
313Henry’s father, a native of the Forgotten Realms, and leader of the Oakvale commune.
314----
315* BigScrewedUpFamily: The center of the dysfunctional Oak family and Oakvale commune. He manipulates, neglects, and gaslights his wife and son to the point where [[spoiler: Autumn Oak tries to murder him. In response, he casts a nonviolence field around Oakvale and manipulates her into staying despite this.]]
316** [[spoiler:As of season 2 episode 23, revealed that he was also abusive to his mother, Hildy Russet.]]
317* LikeFatherLikeSon: Despite the animosity, Henry's father seems somewhat similar to Henry in his love for yoga, druidic background, and deep anger issues.
318* ManipulativeBastard: A cult leader who gaslights and controls Henry and most of his living relatives in the Forgotten Realms.
319* SuppressedRage: Henry calls out that his tranquil demeanor is a facade for this. Crosses over into RageBreakingPoint during both of his fights with the Dads.
320* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Uses a variety of high level druid spells and abilities to shapechange into different monsters in combat.
321* WouldHurtAChild: Punches and hurls [[spoiler: a homunculus copy of]] Sparrow simply to provoke Henry.
322
323!!Bill Close
324Glenn Close’s deadbeat father and all-around scoundrel.
325----
326* BigBadWannabe: Convinces himself that he can be the ManBehindTheMan for Willie, but ends up being an easily-manipulated tool.
327* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Genuinely likes and (more or less) cares about Glenn, in contrast to the other Omega Daddies who view their sons as disappointments and/or tools.
328* GenerationXerox: Bill and Glenn are nearly ''identical'' in taste, mannerisms, and worldview, a fact that helps them remain on good terms despite Bill otherwise being a worthless deadbeat.
329* HangingJudge: Serves as an obviously corrupt judge during the trial of Glenn Close. He apparently cares less for meting out justice than he does profiting off civil forfeiture. That said, this corruption ''nearly'' works in their favor since [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes he genuinely doesn't want Glenn to be found guilty]], but unfortunately Willie Stampler takes matters into his own hands.
330* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Turns to the Dads' side midway through the final battle, once he realizes that Glenn is both back from Hell and wasn't killed by the Dads.]]
331* ParentalNeglect: His poor fatherhood mostly took the form of this, in a manner very similar to Glenn's own relationship with Nick. He ''likes'' Glenn plenty, but he barely raised him beyond teaching him a variety of criminal skills, mostly for his own benefit.
332* QuirkyBard: Is both a bard and the least competent of the three Omega Dads by a wide margin.
333* TheStarscream: In the season 1 finale it's revealed he was planning on betraying Willie.
334* TokenGoodTeammate: Relatively speaking. While he's still a selfish criminal deadbeat, he isn't an outright [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] like the other Omega Daddies and joined them mainly for the promise of wealth and power without really thinking about the consequences or morality of it. He has the best relationship with his son out of the three, repeatedly attempts to discreetly help the Dads out (albeit in a way that benefits him) [[spoiler:and only fights them in the final battle because Willie convinced him they killed Glenn.]]
335* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Disappears without much fanfare after the season 1 finale.
336
337!!Willie Stampler:
338Ron Stampler’s father and the apparent leader of the Omega Dads.
339----
340* AbusiveParents: Willie is constantly emotionally abusive to Ron both in the present and past, going as far as [[spoiler: trying to murder a younger Ron in cold blood for ‘‘accidentally’’ stabbing him with a fishhook.]]
341* AntiClimaxBoss: Early in the finale [[spoiler: Willie gets scared into a holding cell in an alternate dimension.]]
342->'''Anthony Burch:''' [[spoiler: I had such big plans for that boy.]]
343* BadPowersBadPeople: Due to his patron pact with the Doodler. His magic tends to have a distinctly BlackMagic aesthetic and favors necrotic damage.
344* TheCharmer: Described as ‘‘frustratingly’’ handsome by Anthony on multiple occasions. Also implied to get around.
345* FateWorseThanDeath: In the Season 1 finale [[spoiler: Willie is trapped in an alternate dimension with a badly injured throat.]].
346** [[spoiler: TheBusCameBack as of season 2 episode 13 when the grandkids free him from imprisonment.]]
347* TheFriendNobodyLikes: This to the other Omega Daddies and Frank Wilson.
348* [[spoiler: HeroKiller: Uses the OneHitKill spell, Power Word: Kill, to kill Glenn Close before the season 1 finale. He is the only one of the Omega Dads to kill one of the main characters.]]
349* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: He is a ‘’very’’ different person from Ron, particularly when contrasted with the other Dads’ relationships with their fathers. He is cruel and cunning whereas Ron is a genuinely kind, if somewhat bumbling step-father.
350* NotQuiteDead: Ron assumed he had died after his [[spoiler: attempted filicide]] left him drowning in a lake. He got better due to the intervention of The Doodler.
351* SmugSnake: Can’t help taunting his victims and gloating, though it comes back to bite him on a few notable locations.
352* TheSociopath: Is a charming, but ruthless and cold person who will use emotional manipulation and violence to achieve his ends. [[spoiler: His self-description in Season 2 implies these traits may arise from a psychological disorder rather than simply being a cruel person.]]

358* BrownNoteBeing: Merely gazing upon its utterly massive form is enough to harm the minds of mortals.
359* EldritchAbomination: In spades. It is a reality warping, utterly gargantuan entity who destroys the minds of mortals through passive contact. In season 2, episode 13 [[spoiler: it is revealed that the black sun which hangs over the Teen's world is the Doodler's eye]]

363* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: Described as chaos incarnate, represented in both the literal scribbles made by Lark and Sparrow and the numerous scratches and blemishes on used film.
