King (2003 TV series)

• Cliff (voiced by Robert Tinkler)[4] is the former King of Under. Cliff is a bully who constantly picks on Russell because he wants to be king again. Sometimes he attempts to sneak into Russell's room (and down to Under) while he's away, usually being foiled by Russell's teenage sister Lou (Voiced by Stacey DePass) or his own stupidity. He has a sister named Sissy who is affectionate towards Russell, which only makes Cliff angrier.
• Bob Wire (voiced by Cathal J. Dodd)[4] is Cliff's former assistant, who has taken to trying to make himself king of Under by stealing the Crown from Russell. He is made out of coils of metal barbed wire (hence the pun on his name), and like Vernon, he is immune to most things that happen to him in Under. His plans generally tend to be rather badly thought out and self-defeating, but he usually bounces back when he is defeated. The few things he is good at are singing, high finance, and show business.
• Frags (Robert Tinkler and James Kee)[4] are two small green creatures (there were several in the original few episodes) who are henchmen of Bob Wire. They tend to be extremely lazy and are generally somewhat more intelligent than their boss. They sometimes take the side of Russell or one of his companions. Their voices are high pitched but randomly switch to low pitched in a manner akin to croaking.
• Auntie First (voiced by Marnie McPhail)[4] is the narcissistic, self-absorbed, oppressive despot of Near Under. Not very good at her job but maintains it nevertheless, generally through a combination of threatening bodily harm, bribery, and blackmailing. She is referred to as "Auntie" by everyone, even those who are not related to her (except by Captain Darling, who instead calls her "ma'am"). She and Bob often team up to try and defeat Russell.
• Captain Darling (voiced by James Kee)[4] is Auntie First's beloved and loyal assistant. Darling will do anything to help Auntie, even if it means teaming up with her enemies, like Russell. He's in charge of the Near Under's By The Book Brigade. He's a very polite man, always apologizing to somebody when jailing them, and even when expelling people from Near Under. Speaks with an English accent. Unlike the rest of the cast, he calls Auntie First "ma'am". He wears a British police uniform and pink fuzzy slippers.

• Cousin Tess (voiced by Alison Sealy-Smith)[4] — Ruler of Undersea (capital city: Bubble Town). She and Auntie First used to wage war on each other because they wore the same dress to a formal dance when they were in Despot School. Captain Darling put an end to the fighting by colorizing an old home video of the two fighting, deceptively coloring the dresses in different colors. Regardless, Auntie and Tess still fight all the time as a hobby, and as Populah puts it, "they enjoy hating each other".
• Hugh the Yu-Yu (voiced by Maurice Dean Wint)[4] — Ruler of Under Under. He rules over the Yu-Yus (despite not being one himself) and Slythers (including his pet Slyther, Mavis). He is very hippie-like, loves to party, and goes where life takes him, rolling a pair of fuzzy dice to make his decisions (even if it means disaster).
• "The Queen" — Ruler of Throng (on the continent of Ahead of Under). Like her people, the Queen (whose name has not been revealed in the show) has a phobia of germs, uncleanliness, and pretty much everything else. Bob worked for her in one episode, reversing her continent's direction to cure their motion sickness, by facing their sofas the other way, making it nearly flatten Under and causing Russell to intervene.
• King Lugobrius Rex — Ruler of the Empire of Flax. He summons many entertainers to his abode, and if they fail to please him, he then has them shaved naked and thrown in his dungeons forever. So far only Bob Wire's act, in which he inadvertently puts himself through large amounts of pain, has made Lugobrius laugh. He only speaks in wet burps, and is surrounded by massive Gordilators who do his bidding.

There are a variety of creatures who are quite intelligent and can be considered the "people" of Under (the world). Some species are common while others are rare to the point that only one or two members have been seen on the show, most of these rare creatures aren't listed here. Many species haven't been given canonical names and the majority of this section is conjectural.

• Underites - (various species) The inhabitants of the 'Kingdom' of Under (as opposed to the continent of Under or the entire Planet of Under, which plays host to various nationalities). Some people inhabiting certain areas of Under don't think of themselves as Underites, but as Florians, Outties, etc.
• Near Underites - (various species) The inhabitants of the Kingdom of Near Under, unlike Underites, the majority of Near Underites seem to be members of the Bulb-Headed Species).
• Throngegerians - (various species) The inhabitants of Throng, the town on Ahead of Under. Known for their cleanliness and of being afraid of almost everything, especially germs.
• Loopy's Species - One of the more common species (particularly in Under), with other notable members being Captain Darling, Mr. Queep, and Hugh the Yu-Yu. This species is characterized by high foreheads, large bulbous noses, and protruding jowls.
• "Populah's Species" - As juveniles (such as ex-Princess Populah), members of this species have no discernible noses, growing them later in life (such as Auntie First). Because this species is identical to Loopy's Species in adulthood, it is unknown how abundant or how rare it is in comparison. Because of the similarities, it could even be possible that both people are subspecies of one single race. Certain members of this species can breathe underwater (Populah, Cousin Tess), but it sometimes 'skips' a generation (as it did with Auntie First).
• Wire Guys - Sentient bundles of barbed wire taking a vaguely humanoid appearance (eyeballs on stalks extending up from the head, tails, two arms, and two legs). Like cyborgs, Wire Guys are very resilient and can use their coiled-wire form to extends limbs, filter through tight spaces, or even be totally unwound. Bob Wire is the only Wire Guy seen in the show, although a photo of his mother (a barbed wire fence) has been seen. This could mean that once Wire Guys 'die' they become normal inanimate wire. Bob also refers to himself as 'the Wire Man'. Being made of metal as well, he's also immune to organic ailments.
• Frags[2] - Small green creatures with two arms and two legs, small tails, and small shark-like dorsal fins on the backs of their heads. Bob Wire's henchmen are both Frags (although there were originally three), and aren't called anything other than "Frags". They usually have high nasal voices, but sometimes their voices go low to emphasize certain words in their sentences.
• Sock boys - A race of cowboys that inhabit the wild-western Argyle Flats. They're woven sentient socks.
• Bulb-Headed Species - A common race very similar to Loopy's Species, but whose foreheads are shaped like lightbulbs (Loopy's Species have flat foreheads that taper off to a rounded dome). They reside mostly in Near Under.
• Yu-Yus - Small creatures (about the size of frags) that inhabit Under Under. They are usually white (somewhat resembling living marshmallows) with spiky hair that can't be discerned from the rest of their bodies. At least one blue Yu-Yu has been depicted in the show. Like their leader Hugh the Yu-Yu, actual Yu-Yus love to party and tame giant Slythers, earning themselves a reputation of being fierce and terrifying party animals.
• Guardilators - Large hulking people in the service of King Lugobrius Rex. They are tall with very muscular torsos and arms, and they have no noses.
• Florians - Plant people. Two notable factions, the Red Florians and the Yellow Florians had been waging a never-ending war over the last Thussle Bush. They communicate through smells and bursts of pollen.
• Cyborgs - Robots such as Vernon, who was built by the Clockmaker. The Hermit who lives on the moon may also be a cyborg since he appears to only be an upper torso with garbage can making up his lower portions and the usage of a single small wheel for locomotion. However, unlike Vernon, whose legs (also terminating in wheels) and arms can grow, the Clockmaker acts much more human (except his mode of transportation). Vernon can also extend his glasses to use them as microscopes or binoculars. Sometimes when his glasses are removed he is shown to not possess eyes behind them, while other times the eyes are very small. Because they are inorganic, they are unaffected by organic ailments and the Horrorborealis.
• Outties - The inhabitants of Outieville, they all have "outie" belly buttons.
• Ipples - The inhabitants of a small and secluded jungle village. They are unable to make decisions for themselves, preferring to ask either Loopy ("The Great Decider" of Ipple lore) and later a butterflier (on Loopy's instructions).
• Juice Beasts- Sentient creatures who can squirt juice out of their tentacles. One of the most popular locations in Under is the Juice Beast Stand, which serves as a major social gathering place (like a pub). The second most popular place is the Wriggly Pie Stand.
• Nossixs - Creatures that can change between being very small and weak to very big and muscle-bound while wearing wear lederhosens. Great-great Uncle Zed once defeated a Nossix and locked it away in a bongo drum until Bob Wire used the Nossix to chase Russell out of the kingdom.
• Ghouls - Any creature (sentient and non-sentient) during the Horrorborealis. They are zombie-like creatures that have an uncontrollable craving for pickles. They must be kept away from pickles until the Horrorborealis is over because if they eat them, they will remain Ghouls permanently. Being made of metal or having an invincible electro aura can keep you safe from glorification.

• Sky-cow – A flying cow-like creature. Russell and his friends use these as transportation regularly.
• Squirt Hog aka "Engene" - An elephant creature that filled with water and a trunk nozzle to squirt. They're usually used for watering eggs to grow into buildings and other construction structures.

It looks like a big green ball with multiple eyes, tentacles, long arms with claws and mouths on them, as well as a big spiky mouth on its body. They use to living in the shadows of Under Under hence would only emerge overground at night.
• Corola Vines - Similar looking to Night-Slythers but are carnivorous plants. Native to the Flatulent Swamps. On Pollen Holiday, their "hand-vines" grow excessively outward of the swamp to catch prey but are eaten by a migration of giant sea herbivores. Auntie First grows one in her greenhouse.

• Ippy Clippy – The ultimate offensive beast. It is the natural enemy of the Krenit. It has eyes on stalks, a large club-like tail, and two huge Popeye-like arms. It was so dangerous that they were run out of the continent. Great-great-uncle Zeb beat the last Ippy Clippy of Under and hid it inside the Wall Eye. Bob Wire rehydrated it to stomp Near Under's Krenit but it was beaten up by two Krenits.
• Slorch – A large red furry creature that can breathe fire. They only eat spicy hot peppers (from its home, the Hot Pepper Jungle) and need to live hot climates. They can also talk.
• Plurn – A large one-eyed squid-like fish. Baby Plurns live on land and breathe air, then the mother squirts them with ink and they turn into aquatic adults. The Plurn ink can also turn other land animals into fish-like creatures. Later in life, Plurns swim into the underwater Volcano Metamorpho and are erupted with wings, living the rest of their lives in the sky. Going into the volcano will return Plurned (ink-squirted) creatures back to their normal terrestrial selves.

When they get old, they leave to go spend their golden years in retirement. When that happens Slaphappies show up and cause trouble.

Bull Squumps have bull horns.
