Heroes
Mr. Moe Wolf – a gray wolf who is the leader of the Good Guys Club/Shadow Squad G. Tired of being seen as the villain, he recruited his friends in order to do good deeds and clear their reputation. Despite his good intentions, his enthusiasm gets in the way of the success of their missions. Mr. Snake – a Eastern brown snake, who works on stealth tactics of the team. Being very self-centered and shady, he often diverts from the Good Guys Club's goals of being good by doing whatever he wants, and most of the time can't stay away from doing misdeeds, but he can be selfless when he wants to. During the second arc of the books, he is possessed by an otherworldly entity and becomes the antagonist known as "The Underlord". Mr. Pepe Piranha – a Bolivian red-bellied piranha, who works on being the muscle of the film. With a temper as short as his size, he goes berserk when he is mistaken for a sardine. He also has flatulence problems which in the film, he has the same problems if he gets nervous. His family forms a mafia-like operation in which his father is the leader. Mr. Lou Shark – a great white shark, who works as a master-of-disguise of the film. Despite his large size and intimidating appearance, he is usually the most serene of the group. At first, he took a dislike for Mr. Tarantula due to his arachnophobia, but eventually he got over it. In the film, he gets aggressive when he doesn't get a Push Pop from Mr. Snake's non-sharing habits. Mr./Ms. Tarantula – a sharp-tongued expert hacking redknee tarantula also known as "Legs". Often speaking in jive, he prefers not to wear clothing, which causes confusion for the rest of the team. In the film, his character was changed to being a female also known as "Webs".
Villains
Doctor Rupert Marmalade/Professor Rupert Marmalade IV – a hamster mad scientist who wants to take over the world and hates being called cute. In the book series, he is found by the Bad Guys after they rob his chicken farm, taking notice and swearing vengeance over them until later on. He is later revealed to be an alien being named Kdjfloerhgcoinwerucgleirwfheklwjfhxalhw. In the film, he is a guinea pig and famous genius who supposedly "stops wars, feeds the hungry, and saved countless pandas". He is in charge of reforming the Bad Guys as a philanthropist, but secretly uses them as a cover-up to his own criminal plot: mind-controlling other guinea pigs into stealing his own charity donations, but his plan is foiled by Mr. Snake, who pretends to ally with him after an argument with Mr. Wolf while secretly replacing his source of power (a heart-shaped meteorite) with a fixture resembling it, destroying the power to blow up his mansion and is finally arrested after being framed as The Crimson Paw when taking the Zumpango Diamond. Dread Overlord Splaarghön – The primary antagonist of the latter books. He is an evil centipede-shaped demon who seeks to conquer the multiverse. His main methods involve granting powers to evil characters to act as his underlords in fulfilling his will. He convinces Mr. Snake to go against his friends in return for making him an underlord. When anyone says his name, a heavy metal guitar riff plays. Underlord Shaård/Dickie – One of Splaarghön's minions who rules a universe full of sharp blades and broken glass. Later it is revealed that he is a baby spoon named Dickie, who sought help from Splaarghön, thus giving him power like other underlords. Underlord Onsàáy – Another underlord.
