Line 8:
== Needlemeyer Family ==
 
==== '''Ned Needlemeyer''' ====
 
{{quote|Voiced by Courtland Mead
Line 26:
* [[The So-Called Coward]]
 
==== '''Ed Needlemeyer''' ====
 
{{quote|Voiced by [[Brad Garrett]] in the TV series
Line 36:
* [[Minor Injury Overreaction]]: Ned freaks out over losing his tooth, despite the fact he's lost every other one of his baby teeth.
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: In the opening to the very last episode, Ned's dad seems to think he's in some kind of mystery or suspense show. This is quickly dropped when the focus shifts to Ned.
* [[Determinator]]: As his dream-world counterpart--Captaincounterpart—Captain Dad--inDad—in the Willie Trout episode.
** [[Losing Your Head]]: His reason for hunting Willie Trout.
 
==== '''Mrs. Needlemeyer''' ====
 
{{quote|Voiced by Victoria Jackson in the TV series
Line 49:
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Ned's mom in the show versus his Mom in the video game. This is very noticeable because, in the show, she was voiced by the very distinct-sounding [[Saturday Night Live|Victoria Jackson]].
 
==== '''Amy Needlemeyer''' ====
 
 
== Others ==
 
=== '''Conrad and Vernon''' ===
 
{{quote|Voiced by Kevin West (Conrad), Dan Castellaneta (Vernon)}}
Line 62:
== Shadows ==
 
* [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]s: The [[Living Shadow|"Shadow creatures"]] that serve as bosses in the video game take their forms from Ned's fears, but the good ending indicates that they exist outside of and apart from him, and upon defeat are removed from his head rather than outright destroyed. Interestingly, they don't need his fear to survive, and [[Complete Monster|seem to be tormenting him for no reason other than boredom.]]
* [[Five-Bad Band]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Each of the Shadows by the end of the game.}}
** {{spoiler|Even more so when, if the game ends well: The Shadows' true forms help Ned defeat his final fear and the true [[Big Bad]]: a giant, morbid version of himself.}}
* [[Living Shadow|Living Shadows]]s
* [[The Rival]]: Between the School Shadow and the Bathroom Shadow.

{{quote|Voiced by Alexandra Wentworth}}
Line 90:

=== '''Human Pack-Mule''' ===
* [[Berserk Button]]: Reaction to ''his favorite'' below.
* [[Civilized Animal]]
Line 168:
*** Something else very interesting to note is that {{spoiler|Ned's mother has a portrait next to theirs, as well, hinting furthermore that she may have been Sally the little girl.}}
 
==== '''The ''"Amazing Twins!"'' aka, Strange and True''' ====
* [[Catchphrase Spouting Duo]]: Literally; [[Meaningful Echo|"Key, key, who's got the key?"]] is repeated by Strange and True, among their other bitter ramblings.
