== Finn the Human ==
[[File:Jake-the-Human-adventure-time-with-finn-and-jake-12855647-500-
The intrepid, eponymous human boy. Hyperactive with a love of adventure and good deeds. That thing on his head is actually [[Nice Hat|a hat]]. Originally 12 years old, turned 13 in the episode "Mystery Train".
{{quote|
* [[Auto-Tune]]: Seems to be his natural singing voice after [[Noodle Incident|he swallows a tiny computer]] immediately prior to "The Jiggler".
* [[Awesome Backpack]]: His big, green, circular backpack.
* [[Badass]]:
** [[Badass Adorable]]
** [[Badass Long Hair]]: [[Memetic Mutation|And it is]] ''[[Memetic Mutation|glorious]]''.
** [[Badass Normal]]: When he's not borrowing wizard powers from talking tadpoles.
*** He beat
* [[Berserk Button]]: Unsuprisingly, he doesn't react well to Jake being threatened.
** In "Evicted", Marceline kind of killed Jake for a minute. Finn's reaction was... [http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1408/lolfinn.png not pretty.]
** In "To Cut a Woman's Hair", the witch merely uses Jake as a cushion (albeit in the context of Finn's requiring someone to be in "danger" in order to help her), and Finn charges.
** Finn doesn't seem to take it well when someone even ''tries'' to come between he and Jake's friendship. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvisiyE7dPo&feature=relmfu Just ask Tiffany].
** If you have a child, ''don't'' reject it. He's got [[Parental Abandonment|issues]] with that sort of thing.
{{quote|
** When Jake is transformed into a lumpy space guy.
{{quote|
* [[Berserker Rage]]: See above.
* [[Blood Knight]]: He may be in it mostly to slay evil, but there's no denying that he really likes fighting for its own sake. When he wins the Fight King's "[[Blood Lust|favor]]", [[Brainwashed and Crazy|he really hams it up]].
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: On Princess Bubblegum.
* [[Book Dumb]]: Finn is terrible at math.
* [[Broken Ace]]: Multiple times.
* [[Character Development]]: He's getting more aware when it comes to romance, and he's also getting less and less silly and more mature as the show goes on. More complex aspects of his personality are developed slowly, so he often comes off as a [[Static Character]]. The show has celebrated his 13th birthday in what is likely a case of [[Real Life Writes the Plot]] since Jeremy Shada's voice has noticeably deepened.
** And to think, Finn used to be this kid:
{{quote|
'''Finn:''' '''''BLAAAAAARGH!!'''''
* [[Cheerful Child]]: [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] has led to some fans [http://th09.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2010/090/f/7/Adventure_Time__D_by_NitemareKnight.jpg perceiving] [http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/068/a/8/WHAT_TIME_IS_IT_by_LegalDrugFanatic.png him] as this.
* [[Chick Magnet]]: So far, lots of princesses want to give Finn a peck on the cheek.
** Also, he foolishly promised a pack of princesses that he'd get them married to whomever they wanted. They all wanted him.
** [[Kidanova]]
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: In one episode, he displays this, the reason being when he was a baby, he was left alone in the forest and nobody came to help him.
* [[Compressed Hair]]: Hair that would probably go down to his legs, until he cut it off.
* [[The Conscience]]: To counteract Jake's... [[Designated Hero|amoral]] [[Played for Laughs|tendencies]].
{{quote|
'''Finn:''' Jake! You ''LOOTED?'' That's ''bad'', man!
'''Jake:''' Oh... [[Running Gag|I didn't know it was wrong...]]<br />
'''Finn:''' ''(sigh)'' Come on, let's put all of this back.<br />
'''Jake:''' What?! ''All'' of it?!<br />
'''Finn:''' Yes, Jake.
* [[Cool Sword]]: His first one has a blade of gold. The second has an interesting, woody handle and has an [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]].
** As of "Dad's Dungeon", he gets a sword made out of '''demon's blood'''.
Line 55 ⟶ 53:
* [[Determinator]]: His very first appearance has an amusing double-subversion. Finn is told to believe in himself in order to escape his prison of ice; [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop|Finn refuses]] but then [[Heroic Willpower|breaks out through sheer willpower]]. In the series proper, he soldiers past numerous injuries, breaks out of the Lich's mind control, ''literally ignores two broken legs'' to save the day(s).
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: Fionna.
* [[Easy Amnesia]]/[[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Finn can put frightening memories in his "vault". What's disturbing is that [[Dissonant Serenity|he does it so casually]]...
{{quote|
* [[Expy]]: Of Tarzan, seemingly. Both are [[Token Human]]s living in a strange world, [[Raised by Wolves]] to develop [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]s. Both show more emotional complexity than those around them, but nevertheless feel at home in a world not their own. There are also prominent tree houses in both stories.
* [[For Great Justice]]
* [[For Happiness]]
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Finn helps people because of a traumatic experience [[No Infantile Amnesia|as a baby]].
* [[Genre Savvy]]: To the point of predicting ''every single part'' of the Fight King's trap after nothing more than a few lines from him in "Morituri Te Salutamus".
** Was also smart enough to invoke {{spoiler|[[Unspoken Plan Guarantee]] by not telling even Jake about his overall plan to trick the Fight King into giving him his [[Soul Jar]] so he could destroy it
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Although his hair color was only [[Word of God]], it's since been seen. And it is ''[http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/File:HatlessFinn.jpg glorious]''. He has the associated purity.
* [[The Heart]]: He's the only one who can get Bubblegum and Marceline to stick together; in
* [[Heartbroken Badass]]: His love life hasn't exactly been kind to him.
* [[The Hero]]
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Though he uses [[Good Old Fisticuffs]] much more and an [[An Axe to Grind|ax]] at least once.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: He goes through a (hilariously brief) one every time somebody reminds him that he's almost certainly the [[Last of His Kind|last human]].
**
**
* [[Heroic Willpower]]: Goes hand-in-hand with his many [[Determinator]] feats.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Lightly hinted at a few times. In particular, he may hide a desire for civilized life, as well as trauma stemming from his [[Parental Abandonment]]. [[Angst? What Angst?|He rarely if ever dwells on such things, however.]]
{{quote|
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[I Am Not Weasel]]: Flame Princess comes to the conclusion that he must be a Water Elemental due to him crying each time she's seen him and him repeatedly hurting her without realizing it.
* [[Idiot Hero]]:
{{quote|
[[Word of God|He bites trees and rocks and stuff. He's stupid.]]
** Which makes it that much more interesting when his brain works perfectly, like in "Morituri
** As shown in "The New Frontier", Finn occasionally forgets how the sun works, and is seemingly floored when Jake re-explains it to him.
* [[I Gave My Word]]: Finn basically ''lives'' by this. Especially after the events of "Slumber Party Panic".
* [[Important Haircut]]
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: With paper airplanes. Pity that he overestimates his own ability in this area.
Line 89 ⟶ 87:
* [[Last of His Kind]]: According to [[Word of God]], Finn ''thinks'' he's one of these. We certainly haven't been shown another normal human yet. We thought we did, but they turned out to be [[Fish People]].
** Whether or not {{spoiler|Susan}} is human is left up in the air, as she never takes off her hat.
** {{spoiler|In "Beautopia", it's more or less confirmed that she's human
** {{spoiler|Another long time member of the cast at least used to be human
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Finn" means "fair-haired
* [[Muggle Best Friend]]
** Princess Bubblegum tends to show off her creations to him. (She's just as likely to use her own half-baked creation, but perhaps this is just safety testing.)
** Marceline trusted only Finn with her Fries song.
** Heck even the Ice King seeks Finn out when he wants somebody to chat to.
* [[Mundane Made Awesome]]
** "Mathematical!"
** His hat.
* [[Nice Guy]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: He apparently ''skinned a bear'' to make it. As a baby.
{{quote|
* [[The Noseless]]
* [[The Paragon]]: In "Freak City", Finn refuses to let any of the freaks lay down and let life kick them around. So instead, Finn kicks them around until they decide to stand up for themselves.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Not only was had he lost his birth-parents from babyhood, it is heavily implied that his foster-parents, Joshua and Margaret, are also dead, leaving him with only Jake at 12.
* [[Parenthetical Swearing]]: He ''loves'' this trope.
{{quote|
"What the jug is ''that?''
"Dump ''that'' mess!''
"Math this..."
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: Despite being just a boy, he's a full-fledged adventurer who can hold his own in most fights. He's even been known to put the hurt on beings many times his size and experience, especially [[Berserk Button|when properly motivated]].
* [[Psychic Static]]: Even mentally he's a small erratic target. Especially mentally.
* [[Pungeon Master]]: He loves to drop puns.
{{quote|
''(pushing a zombie into the ground)'' "You're grounded, mister!"
''(blasting a pig with ice cream)'' "''FREEZE'' TO MEET YOU!!"
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: For example when he spends the night with the Ice King in
* [[Rhymes
* [[Samaritan Syndrome]]: In "Memories of Boom
** More to the point, he went unaided until Jake's parents found him (and eventually adopted him). Finn helps people because someone helped him once.
** Subverted on at least one occasion, where he mentions that he probably should help the Ice King, but he's too inexperienced and has no clue how to deal with the Ice King's issues. So he beats him up.
* [[Screaming Warrior]]
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Regarding Princess Bubblegum. Jake even calls her his ex at one point.
* [[Singing Voice Dissonance]]: Throughout the series, he sings with an auto-tuned voice that supposedly comes from a tiny computer he swallowed at some earlier point. Subverted in
* [[The Sleepless]]: "Justice never sleeps!"
** Aaand yet he is seen more than once sleeping on his watch.
* [[Summon Magic]]: It takes him many hours to summon his spirit animals in ''Still'', but at least he gets a whole bunch of them and they're rather badass, for their species.
** Hunson is quicker to summon, but his allegiance remains in doubt.
* [[Tagalong Kid]]: In "What
{{quote|
* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: In "Freak City", Finn goes through one of these after getting turned into a foot, during which he memorably goes into [[Auto-Tune]]d song. Though it's more thirty seconds than ten minutes.
* [[Token Human]]: Occasionally a plot point.
* [[True Companions]]: With Jake, emphasized by both [[Big Brother Instinct|family bonds]] and [[Undying Loyalty|loyalty]], and with Bubblegum to a slightly lesser extent. As characterization has developed, he may possibly also have this with [[Dark Is Not Evil|Marceline,]] given how highly [[I Just Want to Have Friends|she regards friendship.]] All of them take some steps towards becoming [[True Companions]] in "What Was Missing", though with Jake being the [[Wild Card]], and Marceline and PB not getting along very well, it takes some considerable effort on his part.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: He can only carry on if he knows his dad cares for him, as seen in "Dad's Dungeon".
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: His response to the black hole he created?
{{quote|
'''Finn''': Then I'll kill it with [[Heroes Prefer Swords|this]]!
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: He's terrified of the ocean and ''only'' the
* [[Wild Child]]: "Memories of Boom Boom Mountain" reveals Finn was [[Parental Abandonment|orphaned]] as a baby and taken in by Jake's parents.
** [[Raised
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: After putting on the Glasses of Nerdicon.
** Any time he gets any sort of artifact of power it will quickly be taken away from him
* [[Zany Scheme]]: One day he may be the master of these, in the meantime he gets egg on his face (or Marceline's kitchen floor). Simply lifting Treetrunks is insufficient. Instead he has to out on thick layers of makeup first. And so on.
** Except for those times that he's [[Crazy Enough to Work]] it, or lumpified.
Line 150 ⟶ 148:
=== Fionna ===
[[File:
Finn's [[Gender Flip]] counterpart who is considerably more level-headed than he is. She still manages to have a thirst for adventure, however. Appears in "Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake
{{quote|

Line 162 ⟶ 160:
* [[Closer to Earth]]: She's much less of an [[Idiot Hero]] than Finn.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]
* [[Expy]]: According to [[Word of God]], she is partially based on [[Sailor Moon]]. Highlighted by the dress she wears to the ball, which is very similar to one of Serenity's.

* [[Magic Skirt]]: Justified as it's really a skort.

== Jake the Dog ==
[[File:
Finn's chummy, size-shifting bulldog friend (not pet) and foster-brother. He is more laid back than Finn, but also enjoys adventure. He sometimes gives Finn brotherly advice, but it is not often helpful.
{{quote|

** In "Freak City", Jake tells Finn he always wanted to be a big foot, and that Finn will understand when he's older.
** In "Blood Under the Skin", he seemed to really like dressing in lady armor.
* [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: Jake appears to be completely naked, [[Subverted Trope|but it's revealed in an episode that he's actually wearing pants.]] Spun by pixies. [[Double Subverted|They're just invisible.]]
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Yes, he has a sword. [[Shapeshifter Weapon|Why he needs it, no one knows.]]
Line 220 ⟶ 218:
* [[Papa Wolf]]: He often acts like a father figure to Finn. He is usually very lazy and indifferent about most of things, but when something serious happens to his younger companion, you better not be around.
* [[Reality Warper]]: Using his imagination. [[Forgot About His Powers|Though only for one episode]], and for no explained reason.
* [[Rhymes
* [[Rubber Man|Rubber Dog]]

{{hardline}}

{{quote|

** [[Badass Bookworm]]: She has ''singlehandedly'' created a formula to '''reverse''' '''''DEATH ITSELF!''''' With ''no side effects!'' She rescued Finn and Jake from ''Eye Demons'' with a '''laser swan!'''

* [[Cheerful Child]]:
** [[Does Not Like Shoes]]:
* [[The Chick]]
* [[Cute and Psycho]]: A ''good'' [[Cute and Psycho|Cute Psycho]]! Just, uh, [[Ax Crazy|don't piss her off]].

* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Maybe. The only person who uses her first name (Bonnibel) is Marceline, who seems to be teasing her with it.
* [[Ermine Cape Effect]]: [http://www.flickr.com/photos/84568447@N00/5617101485/in/photostream/ Averted.] [http://www.flickr.com/photos/84568447@N00/6166909562/in/photostream/ Twice.]

* [[Giant Poofy Sleeves]]
* [[Gratuitous German]]: Uses it fairly often in "What Have You Done?".
* [[Growing Up Sucks]]
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: She is a radioactive fusion of human and ''bubblegum'' DNA. Then again, she does reign over a kingdom of anthropomorphic candy, so it's not ''as'' weird as it sounds.
* [[Hollywood Science]]: In general, she pulls this off quite nicely. It's taken to a whole new level in "Five Short Graybles", when she uses [[When Things Spin, Science Happens|centrifugal force]], growth and shrink serums a la ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'', [[Biological Mashup]] teleportation of a jellyfish and a balloon, [[White Magic]] with a [[Black Magic]] feel, [[Frickin' Laser Beams]], molecular fabrication, [[Martial Arts and Crafts|karate]], a [[Batter Up|baseball bat]] and levitation. All to '' '''make a sandwich'''

Line 310 ⟶ 309:

{{quote|

[[File:
An odd-looking but beautiful, flying half-rainbow-half-unicorn creature. Also Jake's girlfriend. She only speaks Korean, which Jake, but not Finn, understands.
{{quote|
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Badass Adorable]]: She's able to keep up with Finn and Jake in "My Two Favorite People", and she even has to save Finn from the army of lake monsters. Surprising, considering she looks like [[Tastes Like Diabetes|a little girl's toy]].
* [[Beta Couple]]: With Jake.
* [[Casual Kink]]: She's often innocently flirtatious with Jake in public.
* [[
** An inherent power of rainicorns, apparently; at least one traditional rainicorn game centers around the power.

BMO, pronounced ''[[Fun

* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: Typically referred to as a "he", but was referred to as "M'lady" in the
** That may have just been Finn being Finn.
* [[Animate Inanimate Object]]: He's a [[Captain Obvious|living video game console]].
* [[Breakout Character]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: As evidenced in the kinds of games he creates, such as an [[Abraham Lincoln]] fighting game and "Conversation Parade".
* [[Covert Pervert]]: He watches two slugs make out in "Slow Love".
* [[Cute Machines]]: Lampshaded by Marceline in "Evicted!", "I'm invested in this very cute video game!"
* [[Magic From Technology]] or [[Magitek]]: No further explanation is given how a video game came to life and gained consciousness, which leads to fan speculation.
* [[No Biological Sex]]
* [[Phantom Zone]]: Only in one episode so far.
* [[Retraux]]: Crosses over into this, as he displays pixellated graphics and plays 8 bit music.
* [[Tagalong Kid]]: While certainly not a kid in the ''conventional'' sense, he's often treated like a rebellious child by Finn and Jake, particularly in "Slow Love". Which may qualify as [[Hypocritical Humor]], given that Finn is a [[Kid Hero]] and Jake acts like an [[Adult Child]].
* [[Talking Appliance Sidekick]]: More of a supporting character than "sidekick" but he still counts.
* [[Tin Man]]: In "Donny", Beemo states how as a machine he can not feel pain or emotion but states that he very much hates Donny.

== Lumpy Space Princess ==

* [[Silicon
* [[Spear Counterpart]]: Lumpy Space Prince.
* [[Valley Girl]]: And with a deep, grunting valley girl accent at that. It doesn't help that ''all'' of the Lumpy Space people speak like that.
Line 426 ⟶ 425:
== Marceline ==
[[File:
The queen of the vampires (or so she says). Known to be extremely unempathetic but never cruel, simply doing whatever she pleases even at the expense of others. Apparently was alive at the time of the apocalyptic 'mushroom war'. Subject to a lot of fan [[Perverse Sexual Lust|"attention"]], [[Evil Is Sexy|for]] [[Fetish Fuel|whatever]] reason; [[Ensemble Darkhorse|became extremely popular]] while only appearing twice in the first season, not counting the opening credits and brief cameos. Usually decked out in punk-rock apparel. She generally tries to be a cool and rather unfeeling, she harbors a very broken spirit due to loneliness in living forever, among other things. Whenever her more sensitive or emotional side is shown, she gets angry. In the fourth season, it was revealed she has the surname Abadeer.

* [[Breakout Character]]: She's practically one of the main cast now, though her major appearances are fairly infrequent.
* [[Broken Bird]]: She's had a ''very'' harsh life, been betrayed by a ''lot'' of people, and scares people away out of fear of it happening again.
* [[The Cameo]]: Happens in "The Duke" for a second near the end, has a non-speaking role in "

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Sure, she's a Vampire Queen responsible for kicking Finn and Jake out of their house (although she does return it), but for the most part, she just wants to jam on her axe and record albums with friends.
* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]
* [[Et Tu, Brute?]]: Everybody she's ever loved has betrayed Marceline. First her mother passed away, then her dad ate her french fries and finally her boyfriend Ash sold her teddy bear. So these days she scares people away so they won't hurt her. Damn, she's wimpy.
* [[Everything's Squishier
* [[Flight]]
* [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire]]: Depends how she sees you. She can be your best friend or worst enemy.
* [[Fur and Loathing]]: The dress she wears in "Henchman" is made from [[Continuity Nod|a Whywolf]]. "Marceline's Closet" shows that she also has a large fur-lined coat, with the head and claws built into it.
* [[Giant Flyer]]: Again, see [[One-Winged Angel]] below.
* [[Girl
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: Played in and eventually subverted.
* [[Good All Along]]: Sort of (see below).
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: In her original appearance, she comes in the middle of the night and kicks Finn and Jake out of their own house, leaving them out in the open trying to find a place to live. When they finally do find a place, it just so happened to have been Marceline's... and so she almost kills Finn and Jake, but in the end, gives them their house back. Second appearance, and Finn and Jake still consider her an enemy. Finn unwillingly becomes her accomplice to her many dark deeds that all turn out [[Double Subverted]]. The last scene shows that Finn and Marceline have gained some trust for each other. Third appearance, Finn and Marceline spend the entire episode TOGETHER, trying to get her soul-sucking father back into the Nightosphere. What's next, [[Go-Karting with Bowser]]?
** Does [[Go-Karting with Bowser|Going To The Movies With Bowser]] count?
** She's even gone so far as to show genuine concern and even go out of her way to save Finn and Jake in at least one situation where their lives were put in danger.
** It's been hinted that her rebellion against the forces of evil was triggered a long time ago when her [[Humanoid Abomination|father]] lost her trust when he ate her fries, and that [[Jerkass Facade|she's acted like a monster since to protect those who might care about her]] from her own nature. Finn has yet to win the battle of showing her that she does have the self-control to be safe to love, but she does hang out with a much wider crowd these days.
* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: Extremely strongly implied; in
** If you don't take it as a expression of [[Les Yay]], Marceline's song to Bubblegum can be considered an expression of this; she doesn't even remember why Bubblegum is angry at her and feels she shouldn't have to apologize, but implies she still wants to.
** She outright admits that she [[Not So Stoic|hides tears]] because she has no friends in "Marceline's Closet".
Line 473 ⟶ 472:
* [[Instrument of Murder]]: She turned the [[Ancestral Weapon|family axe]] into a [[Instrumental Weapon|bass guitar]].
* [[Invisibility]]
* [[It Amused Me]]: This is her reason for pretty much everything she does, [[Jerkass
* [[Jerk
** "Heat Signature" provides a good example of this; she pranks Finn and Jake into believing that they're vampires and fools them into doing various embarrassing things, but draws the line at her old ghost gang brutally kicking them for no reason and goes berserk when Finn and Jake are tricked into nearly jumping to their deaths.
* [[Just Friends]]: With Finn.
* [["Just Joking" Justification]]
* [[Klingon Promotion]]: [[Word of God|She became the Vampire Queen by killing the Vampire King.]]
* [[The Ladette]]: Clearly demonstrated (in a kid-friendly way) through her willingness to fight everyone and everything, in the same way that Finn does. Not to mention, several episodes clearly demonstrate her lack of appreciation for hygiene, whether it be her picking her nose, not washing her hands, or remarking that her armpits stink.
* [[Living Forever Is Awesome]]: Of the two immortal characters, she's the one that has the most fun.
* [[Necromancer]]: [[Magical Incantation|"Corpses buried in mud that's black, from death I command you to come BACK!"]] She did it to [[Mundane Utility|throw a party.]]
* [[Nightmare Face]]: Marceline can do this voluntarily and to great effect. In "
* [[The Noseless]]: Like the other humanoids. Though she can morph a nose when she wants to smell something or pick it.
* [[Not So Stoic]]: Under her cool and trickster-like demeanor lies a sensitive girl that will cry easily if the right buttons are pushed. [[Blood Lust|(Pissing her off is still a no-no.)]]
* [[Odd Friendship]]: With [[The Hero|Finn]], which doubles as an extreme form of an [[Intergenerational Friendship]]. Later on, she's befriended Jake (though she likes to scare him) and appears to have had one with Bubblegum in the past, though Finn seems to have helped her and Bubblegum patch things up.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: She appears to be somewhere around PB's age, but she is really a thousand.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: She often employs this in a serious fight (or when she's trying to scare people), and one of the most memorable is a giant, bat-like creature.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Marceline claims that she sometimes drinks blood, but only because it's red, and she mainly "eats" shades of red. Sunlight and garlic still hurt her, though, though neither are apparently fatal. It's unclear whether her many abilities are also linked to her vampirism or unique to herself (possibly due to her dad being a demon).
* [[Perverse Sexual Lust]]: A lot of this is diverted towards her. Arguably, even ''more'' of this is directed towards her [[Gender Flip]] counterpart [[Bishonen|Marshall]] [[Tall, Dark and Handsome|Lee]].
* [[Pointy Ears]]
* [[The Quincy Punk]]: Slightly; she's a wild and reckless sort of person, but Ooo in general doesn't seem to find her
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: The show reveals she is over a thousand years old. However, her childhood is still [[After the End]], if less so than the current show. It's unclear whether she lived through the Mushroom War or directly afterwards.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Does this when she gets upset. Usually an extremely bad sign for whomever made her upset.
* [[Sad Clown]]: Unfortunately, she sings from the soul and gets upset when she notices she's let her defenses down.
** "How can- anyone relate to me? When they cannot see what I see- My vampire eyes see... only blood red- skies. Blood red skies make tears inside that I always hide."
* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]
* [[Spear Counterpart]]: Marshall Lee.
* [[Sudden Anatomy]]: In "Marceline's Closet
* [[Telekinesis]]
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy to Princess Bubblegum's Girly Girl.
* [[The Trickster]]: Generally only in the sense of the way she interacts with people. When she actually gets into a combat-type situation, she [[The Berserker|prefers a more upfront approach.]]
* [[Troll]]: Finds a lot of joy in screwing with people in general and Finn in particular, though she seems to draw her limits at actual physical harm, [[Characterization Marches On|at least lately.]]
* [[Tsundere]]: Shows quite a few signs of being one to her friends in general, and very strongly suggested to be one in "What Was Missing".
Line 509 ⟶ 507:
* [[Unlimited Wardrobe]]: ''How'' many outfits has she worn now? Notably, since she had a different outfit for each of her appearances, she was the first character to avert [[Limited Wardrobe]].
* [[Vampire Monarch]]: Specifically, she's the Vampire Queen.
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|The Vampire That Doesn't Do Anything]]: She introduces herself as the vampire queen in "Evicted!", and it's never mentioned again.
* [[Vegetarian Vampire]]: She drinks blood if provoked, but she mostly just drains the color from red objects. Sometimes the objects are fine afterwards, sometimes they seem shriveled up.
* [[Visual Pun]]: Her bass is an ''axe''.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Has a habit of going from her cute normal form to very grotesque monster forms and back again at the drop of a hat. Her second episode really plays this up.
* [[Weakened
* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]: She kinda implied this regarding her relationship with Princess Bubblegum in her song in
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: "''Daddy, why did you eat my fries? I bought them, and they were mine...''"
** Though it seems more justified after one has watched "Memory of a Memory".
** Eating her fries was possibly just another indication that her father never took her thoughts or feelings into consideration, and that taking something that belonged to her, which at this point happened to be something completely trivial, was the final straw.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: She implies this in her Journal Song:

After the Lich is destroyed, the Ice King screws up again by dropping the Princess into the well, which results in the latter being possessed by the Lich, and later, being reduced to a 13-year-old after pieces of her are still missing.

[[File:
{{quote|You... [[Hero-Killer|You messed {{spoiler|Billy}} up]]! You just wanna mess me all up! [[Omnicidal Maniac|Mess everyone up!]]|Finn}}
An undead sorcerer who is supposedly Ooo's greatest evil. He has an army of the living dead and vast magical powers. He was defeated and sealed away in amber inside of a great tree by the legendary hero Billy. [[Knight of Cerebus|Not a funny character at all.]] Originally called the Lich King, renamed to avoid confusion with [[World of Warcraft
{{quote|
* [[Army of the Dead]]: The Lich is said to command these.
Line 652 ⟶ 651:
* [[Badass Long Robe]]
* [[Bag of Holding]]: Gets his hands on one in the comic, his plan being to suck up the entire land of Ooo then throw the bag into the sun.
* [[Bigger Bad]]: Is the most powerful and evil villain in the show, but due to being [[Sealed Evil in
* [[Body Surf]]: {{spoiler|Finn destroys his real body, so his soul transfers into Princess Bubblegum. After he's defeated again, he transfers again into the Snail. However, given the Lich is ''still'' in the body of the Snail, it seems he's stuck in his body until it's destroyed
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: First appeared in the
* [[Compelling Voice]]
*[[Crippling Overspecialization]]: [[Played for Laughs]] in one episode where the lich is trapped in Prismo's time room and can't leave. Prismo has a party and the lich is sitting in the corner, still as a statue and does absolutely nothing. When asked why the lich isn't doing anything, Prismo explains that the lich's sole purpose is to cause mass death and the death of all things. That's it. The lich has no other goals or interests. Since it's not possible for the lich to hurt or kill anyone in the time room and cannot escape, the lich has chosen to do nothing. The lich is so dedicated and focused on his goal, Prismo outright calls him a "machine without a purpose". While the lich could move, walk or otherwise interact with Prismo and the party guests, he is so devoid of care or interest in anything else beyond causing mass death and the end of all life that he instead chooses to do nothing at all. This leads to several of the guests taking selfies while posed on or next to the lich.
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: The reason for [[It Only Works Once]]. It's not that he becomes immune to whatever defeated him, he just makes sure to ''prevent'' prior tactics from being used on him again. {{spoiler|Billy's gauntlet was used to defeat him before, so one of the first things he does is destroy it before Finn could effectively use it against him. When Finn defeated him using [[The Power of Love]] channeled through his sweater, the next time Finn tries using it, the Lich punches him halfway across the Candy Kingdom before he can get close enough to use it on him}}. He was also smart enough to run from Finn until he had the chance to regain his powers. {{spoiler|Finn interrupted him while he was regaining his strength, but he still got enough back to destroy Billy's gauntlet}}.
* [[Dark Is Evil]]: AND HOW!
* [[Dead Serious]]: As stated in [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100824025407/adventuretimewithfinnandjake/images/6/63/Lich_king.jpg this] early sketch, THE LICH KING IS NOT FUNNY. At no point does he ever intentionally try to be funny or goofy in any way, making him stand out amongst the otherwise wacky cast.
** Though there was that time he shushed Finn, which is either well timed humour or just downright unnerving.
* [[The Dreaded]]: According to [[Word of God]], he's so terrifying that even the Ice King and Marceline will run in terror of him. Princess Bubblegum's reaction to the possibility he's returning in the preview seems to further support this.
** It winds up being partially averted in the actual episode, as although Princess Bubblegum does truly fear him (Marceline does not even appear), Ice King seems to be completely clueless about the Lich due to his [[Cloudcuckoolander]] nature (being more concerned with holes), {{spoiler|and he actually eagerly volunteers to help fight the Lich later on}}.
** The Ice King wasn't exactly clueless about the Lich. Until he got down the hole he'd neither seen nor been outright told about the Lich being freed, and as he admits later he wasn't sure if what Finn was fighting was really there since he [[Hallucinations|sees alot of strange things thanks to his "Wizard Eyes"]]. Had {{spoiler|PB's life not been on the line}} he likely would have run, as he's done so when faced with [[Eldritch Abomination]]s before.

* [[It Only Works Once]]: Happens twice; {{spoiler|[[Upgrade Artifact|Billy's Gauntlet]] was supposed to be needed to kill the Lich since it worked before. Destroying it is among the first things he does, before even fully recovering. Attacking him with [[The Power of Love]] didn't work out so well the second time either}}. It's not so much that whatever he gets hit with ''won't'' work on him again, he just has whiplash-quick reflexes and really long arms.
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: ''Oh hell yes''. The first thing you'll notice about him is that unlike the other villains in this show, he has no humorous quirks that can make him any less terrifying.

== Flame Princess ==
[[File:
The princess of the Fire Kingdom; a princess made out of fire. Beneath her innocent exterior is a deeply destructive and unpredictable personality, with a terrible temper. She has no perspective on the norms of the world and doesn't seem to understand what is right or wrong, possibly due to being sheltered by her father. At the end of the third season, she inadvertently [[Gone Horribly Right|becomes Finn's new love interest]].
{{quote|
* [[Ambiguously Evil]]: Her father claims she's evil, she transfigures innocents on a whim, and she ends up attacking the Goblin Kingdom, so she's clearly ''dangerous''. However, she's not consistently malevolent and she justifies her actions with a worldview that is warped, to be sure, but not particularly selfish or evil. She greets resistance to her aims with confusion, rather than malice or force, more often than not.

So, from Flame Princess's perspective, he told her he liked her, then didn't like her, then liked her again.

A secondary character, the Duke of Nuts is a generally nice member of royalty, ruling over the Nut Kingdom. An all-around family man, his only major flaw is that a physical deficiency makes him uncontrollably eat any pudding in range.
{{quote|
* [[Nice Guy]]: ''Ridiculously'' nice. Almost ''obscenely'' nice. Hell, he was willing to take the fall for Finn even though he was totally innocent.
Line 823 ⟶ 828:
==== Gunter ====
[[File:
The Ice King's favorite penguin and servant. May be the ultimate evil power in Ooo, if Marceline's dad is correct. It has been suggested that the Ice King just calls whatever penguin is closest Gunter.
{{quote|
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Well, slap him to be accurate.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: Maybe.
* [[Informed Attribute]]: Marceline's dad says he is more evil than any other creature he had ever encountered. [[Faux Affably Evil|Of course, he's not a trustworthy source of information.]]
Line 839 ⟶ 845:
==== Susan Strong ====
[[File:176px-
A member of an underground dwelling group of humans. {{spoiler|The "humans" she lives with are eventually revealed to be ''hyoo-mans'', a strange race of [[Fish People]] living in the ruins of human civilization. Susan herself is implied to be the only true human amongst them}}.
{{quote|Voiced by: Jackie Buscarino}}
* [[Ambiguously Human]]: {{spoiler|She probably is}}.
* [[Badass]]: That muscular build isn't just for looks.
* [[Cowardly Lion]]: Better than the rest of her people, certainly.
* [[Expy]]/[[Shout-Out]]: Of Tarzan, much like Finn. In Susan's case it's a lot more obvious, since she's [[Raised
* [[Green Eyes]]
* [[Hair of Gold]]: {{spoiler|Which may or may not be real
* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: Big in every way. There is pretty much no physical indication of youth, leading to her [[Vague Age]].
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: She, along with the rest of her tribe, actually tries to eat the ''entire Candy Kingdom''.
* [[Took a Level
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: We never find out
** At the end of
* [[Vague Age]]: She and Finn have more than a little chemistry, and [[Hulk Speak]] and [[Naive Newcomer]] aside they seem to be on the same intellectual level. However, Susan's body type is very much that of an adult woman.
* [[You No Take Candle]]
Line 861 ⟶ 868:
==== Marceline's Dad ====
Also known as the "Lord of Evil". One of the most evil entities in The Land of Ooo (probably second only to the Lich). Currently locked away in The Nightosphere. In Season 4, his full name was given as Hunson Abadeer.
{{quote|Voiced by: Martin Olson}}
* [[Abusive Parent]]: He's not outright abusive towards Marceline, he's most certainly a neglectful father. Though he doesn't have any problems fighting her either.
Line 869 ⟶ 877:
** Eventually turns into a much nicer (if not [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|far more embarrassing]]) dad, even inviting her into the Nightosphere on occasion, and warming up to Finn and Jake.
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: He owns an amulet made of concentrated [[Chaotic Evil]], which [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|gives the wearer a nice suit]] and transforms him or her into a ruthless [[Eldritch Abomination]].
* [[Badass in
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Despite being otherwise [[Pure Evil]], he really does love his daughter, even if he doesn't show it that much.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone Calls Him Marceline's Dad]]
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Like Marceline, he's a playful troll. Unlike Marceline, he makes good on his threat and then some.
* [[Follow in My Footsteps]]: Very much wants this for Marceline, to the point where {{spoiler|he fools her into taking his [[Artifact of Doom]] so that she can have a taste of ruling over the Nightosphere}}. He mentions being a victim of this himself, although he doesn't seem to mind it at all anymore.
Line 878 ⟶ 886:
* [[Marionette Motion]]
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: It's not mentioned in the episode, but his title is the Lord Of Evil.
* [[No Name Given]]:
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Like his daughter, he can turn into a giant monster. Though his is much more [[Eldritch Abomination|monstrous.]] {{spoiler|Apparently, he requires an object of power to do so. She does not}}.
* [[Our Demons Are Different]]: Described by [[Word of God]] as more demonic than a vampire.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Showing actual compassion towards Marceline.
* [[Satan]]: Okay, it hasn't been confirmed, but considering he's "The Lord of All Evil" who steals your soul, he probably is.
** Especially since the Nightosphere is essentially Ooo's version of [[Hell]].
* [[Sealed Evil in
* [[The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter]]: Applies in the traditional fashion.
* [[Your Soul Is Mine]]: His MO.
Line 892 ⟶ 899:
==== Peppermint Butler ====
Princess Bubblegum's loyal servant. Best friends with Death. Will probably eat your flesh while you are sleeping.
{{quote|
* [[Almighty Janitor]]
* [[Ambiguously Evil]]: In addition to his association with Death, a [[Freeze
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]
Line 904 ⟶ 912:
==== Me-Mow ====
A tiny cat-like assassin.
{{quote|
* [[Body Horror]]: She's small enough inflict it by herself.
* [[Cats Are Mean]]
Line 916 ⟶ 924:
* [[Eye Scream]]: One of the few ways she could do damage in a straight fight.
* [[Fan Art]]
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Forces Jake into killing Wildberry Princess for her under pain of death.
* [[Master Poisoner]]
* {{spoiler|[[Not Quite Dead]]}}
* [[Orifice Invasion]]: Again, small enough to do it herself.
* [[Prehensile Tail]]
Line 926 ⟶ 934:
==== Ash ====
Marceline's old "Genius Wizard" boyfriend. They started living together in the Tree Fort (before Joshua) until Ash moved Marceline away from the Candy Kingdom to his current house. Then he sold her teddy bear to a witch, earning his girlfriend's anger.
{{quote|
* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: He calls Marceline, "Mar-mar".
Line 939 ⟶ 948:
* [[Large Ham]]: Just listen to him describing the sandwich he wants.
* [[Magical Incantation]]: His flight spell.
{{quote|
{{hardline}}
==== Earl of Lemongrab ====
A very loud lemon drop man created in a lab by Princess Bubblegum in case she was ever unable to rule the kingdom. He comes into play once she de-ages due to the whole Lich problem. As immature as he is charismatic, his interests include cleanliness, bland foods, and SENDING EVERYBODY TO THE DUNGEON! A [[One-Scene Wonder]] in his first appearance, the creators of ''Adventure Time'' decided they like him enough to bring him back later in Season 4.
{{quote|Voiced by: Justin Roiland}}
* [[Ambiguous Disorder]]: Thanks to some kind of chemical error Princess Bubblegum made when she created him. Whatever his problem is, it can be best described as a hideous combination of anxiety, anger management issues, Asperger's Syndrome, manic-depressive disorder, extreme stupidity, and OCD.
Line 957 ⟶ 967:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "UNACCEPTABLE!" and, more frequently, "# Hours/Days/Years DUNGEON!!!" His very distinctive, cracking screams may count, as well.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: His demands are so unreasonable and passionate, he appears to be existing in an entirely different world than the people he rules over.
* [[The Comically Serious]]: He takes everything so seriously, it's hilarious to watch him struggle.
* [[Cool Horse]]: It looks like a camel version of him!
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He's a horribly mean, socially retarded idiot with a low tolerance to pain, yet he could easily be called the strongest candy person- thanks to his absurdly hard lemon candy skin. He fell out of the tall tower of the Candy Castle and slammed his noggin into the ground hard enough to leave a large hole, and he was totally uninjured! And according to a production assistant on the show, he's immune to the "exploding" problem that candy people face, because of his hard shell.
* [[Cry Cute]]: He's a complete asshole to everybody... but the second he starts crying that pitiful little cry, it's impossible not to go "Awww..." in pity and want to hug him.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Will send anyone to the dungeon for a random amount of time (from three hours to a million years). Not always unjustified, though.
* [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]: His are actually quite amusing. His eyes are dark, dull, and lifeless most of the time, even when he's screaming at the top of his lungs.
* [[Eating Lunch Alone]]: He's seen doing this in "Too Young", after he imprisoned everybody. Seeing as how he doesn't have any friends, he probably does this fairly often.
* [[Epic Fail]]: His existence...
* [[Eye Scream]]: He gets one in "Too Young", after being traumatized by [[It Makes Sense in Context|being alive]], when his eyes roll back into his head, leaving only the whites exposed as he screams bloody murder.
* [[Fan of Underdog]]/
* [[Flat Joy]]: His laugh. Also: "Me, too. I'm excited, too."
* [[Friendless Background]]: Informed attribute according to [[Word of God]]. Not surprising, though, given his totally repellant personality.
* [[Gag Nose]]
* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]
* [[Gonk]]
* [[Ha Ha Ha No]]
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: "THIRTY DAYS IN THE DUNGEON!" "For who?" "EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM! *throws arms into air* MMLLLUUUUGGH!!!"
* [[Hates Being Touched]]: His awesomely bizarre reaction to Finn slapping his hand "HHHOOOO?! MMM...! *GASP!*"
* [[Hates Everyone Equally]]: Not many people can live up to his impeccably high standards of behaviour, and he doesn't have any friends.
* [[Hates Small Talk]]: "Who are you talking to?" "THREE! HOURS! DUNGEON!"
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: His entire first episode.
* [[Hypocrite]]: Given how stupid he is, this isn't surprising. "STOP SCREAMING!!! WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?!"
* [[Informed Attribute]]: His lack of friends, according to [[Word of God]]. Not that it wasn't suggested earlier...
* [[Iron Butt Monkey]]: Although he has a low tolerance to physical pain, he definitely qualifies, thanks to his super-hard lemon candy skin. He fell head-first from a tall tower and slammed his noggin into the ground hard enough to make a large indentation, but he was unharmed. He also had a pretty nasty fall from a tree and fell on his back, and he was okay- although unhappy.
* [[Jerkass]]: A sympathetic example. He's an experiment gone wrong, and he really isn't used to being alive, and he has no social skills, but he is unnecessarily mean and nasty towards everyone he comes in contact with, and very often solicits (and deserves) the harassment he receives.
* [[Large Ham]]/[[No Indoor Voice]]: Sweet Glob, Lemongrab.
* [[Laughing Mad]]: Lemongrab's utterly disturbing laughing fit after he is pranked for the first time in "Too Young". He doesn't even SMILE- his head just flails around and bounces with weird squishy noises, and his eyes are wide. It makes everyone else uncomfortable.
** Lemongrab: "...Prank? F-for laughs? Yes, of course; just a harmless prank... F..for laughs... Ha..a..a? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH-OH! HAHHAHOAHAOHAOAHOAHAOAHAHAOAOAAHAOAHAOAHAOA-" *immediately returns to normal* "Twelve years dungeon! All of you- DUNGEON! Seven years, no trials! C'mon... LET'S MOVE IT!!!"
** Another example is from the deleted "
* [[Leitmotif]]: His is a quiet, out of tune harpsichord and/or piano played at an irregular rythm, and it often loudens when he yells. It sounds awkward- almost as if there are mistakes in the music, or that the piece doesn't make sense; which is fitting, because he is a failed science experiment.
* [[Man Child]]: An adult with the apparent mind of a bratty little kid. (Also, his pajammies have snaps on the butt!)
* [[The Mentally Disturbed]]: And how!
* [[Modest Royalty]]: Surprisingly, given his loud disposition ("That is why I am royal, and YOOOU are SERVILE!"), he gives absolutely no visual indication that he is royal.
* [[Mommy Issues]]: And how! If sending your creator (who despises you) to the dungeon for one million years after she beats you up doesn't qualify, nothing does!
* [[Nightmare Face]]: He gets one in a deleted scene, where he makes a candy child cry.
* [[Non-Standard Character Design]]: His eyes are vastly different from most of the other characters' eyes, and he's one of the few to have a nose.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Everything we don't know about him or his life story can be chalked up by his creator's singular explanation: "It's complicated."
* [[No Sense of Humor]]: He tries; he really does, but...
* [[No Social Skills]]: To quote from Jesse Moynihan, co-writer of "Too Young", he is "weird, angry, isolated, with an inability to read social cues."
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Only appeared in one episode so far, yet he's solicited more love, hatred, confusion, pity, and fear than any other minor character in the show- and he has a small but exceedingly loud fanbase.
* [[Overly Long Scream]]: Everything he says could be considered this, actually.
* [[Overly Long Tongue]]: Shown to have one in the storyboards, during the infamous "rice cake" scene. Its long, green, and rather snake-like in how it moves.
* [[Parental Abandonment]] More literally, "Creator Abandonment
* [[Picky Eater]] The earl will ONLY eat foods that are bland and tasteless. "Whatever you made, I hope it's as mild as kitten milk!"
* [[Played for Laughs]]: His rather sad backstory is nearly entirely portrayed as comical, thanks to the copious amounts of [[Narm]] Lemongrab always adds to his own scenes.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: He isn't evil, according to [[Word of God]]. He's still a huge butt, but he only usurped the throne because it was his royal duty- not because he wanted to rule the kingdom OR make everyone unhappy.
* [[Punctuated!
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: More of an "emotionally unstable/unadjusted manchild
* [[Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense]]: He's an earl and the heir to the throne of the Candy Kingdom... but he can't even prepare a simple meal for himself, and presumably relies on his servants for his basic needs.
* [[Royal Brat]]: Justified in that he's a mentally challenged, emotionally unstable failed science experiment. Unjustified in that he's needlessly rude, mean, and obnoxious towards everyone he comes in contact with.
* [[Royally Screwed-Up]]
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Unfortunately...
* [[The Scream]]: It's as if the writers wrote his dialogue in all caps, with no spaces.
* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: Screams more like a schizophrenic Finnish woman giving birth to a puffer-fish, but the point still stands.
* [[Sequel Episode]]: {{spoiler|"You Made Me!"}}.
* [[Serious Business]]: For him, ''everything'' is serious business.
* [[Sinister Schnoz]]: Like many of the show's antagonists/jerks, he has a very long nose.
* [[The Sociopath]]: Given how unsympathetic and mean he is, it isn't surprising that he teeters very close to being this. This is more due to his blatant lack of understanding of "social appropriateness" than it is with him as a person, though.
* [[Super OCD]]: "CLEAN THIS PLACE UP OR DUNGEON! THREE HOURS DUNGEON!!!"
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Really, really, really bland foods, according to [[Word of God]]. Hence why he was excited about the mashed carrots, "lovingly boiled of all flavor," according to Peppermint Butler. In the storyboards, he's seen saying to Peppermint Butler: "Whatever you made, I hope it's as mild as kitten milk!" In a memorable unused scene, Lemongrab is seen doing what can only be described as French-kissing a rice cake.
* [[Tragic Villain]]: A volatile, temperamental failed science experiment with psychological problems and a predisposition to be a bitter person who is despised by his own creator/mother, and doesn't have a single friend. Not truly evil, though- just a mean, jerkish butt who treats others terribly.
* [[Trope Overdosed]]: He's appeared in all of one episode, and look how many tropes he has.
* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]: He assumes this pose after Finn and PB beat him up in the hallway, and he's whimpering.
* [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]]: He's the tyrant, though he isn't evil and cruel so much as he's... incredibly sheltered and sensitive to most things.
* [[The Unfavorite]]: "*Sigh...* I created Lemongrab. He was the first of my experiments gone wrong..."
* [[Upper Class Twit]]: The archetype of a royal idiot.
* [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]]: One of his most memorable scenes, which has been subject to a bit of [[Memetic Mutation]], involves Lemongrab projectile-vomiting all over Peppermint Butler.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He just wants the kingdom to be clean, quiet, and orderly. So he imprisons everyone.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: His reaction to "the thing". And his comically overblown reactions for petty misdeeds in general.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Psychologically, Lemongrab is... "special", to put it nicely. Let's just say this "specialness" did not serve him, or anyone else, well when he inherited the throne to the Candy Kingdom.
* [[You No Take Candle]]: If you piss him off enough, he starts to talk (or scream, to be more accurate) like this. "CLEAN THIS PLACE UP OR DUNGEON! THREE HOURS DUNGEON!"
