Knights In every episode a new knight (or lady knight for females) that ranged from a warrior to a scientist, appears and swears to slay or snare the dragon or make it domestic in some way, generally, in return for the hand of Melody the Princess or other forms of reward. They usually end up fighting against Hugo or being chased out of the kingdom.
Melody Melody, the princess, loves the dragon, and if anything happens to it her love with Riri will end, so she thwarts plans to kill the dragon. Almost all knights offer to marry her, at which she either falls into a trance of joy or acts disgusted. The princess wears a pink outfit and a crown that is smoother than the king's. Voiced by Carrien Finlay

Juju Juju is a child living in the castle who helps Riri, but is easily upset and moody. Voiced by Annie Bovaird
Dragon The dragon lives peacefully in the kingdom, but because he has a hatred of crowns finds himself uncontrollably willing to flame breathe Hugo into a pile of living ashes every time they meet. Voiced by Mark Camache
Merlin Merlin is the king's loyal practitioner of magic. This wizard's spells and potions usually don't work and they end up exploding in Hugo's face. Merlin frequently helps the princess, Riri and Juju to help save the dragon. Voiced by John Vamvas
Roger the Talking Carrot Roger is a carrot that advices the knight on how to defeat the dragon. He has no other use to the story other than revealing weaknesses in the dragon, and perhaps a tasty snack if he upsets the knight. Voiced by John Locke

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“The business of a novelist is, in my opinion, to create characters first and foremost, and then to set them in the snarl of the human currents of his time, so that there results an accurate permanent record of a phase of human history.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“His leanings were strictly lyrical, descriptions of nature and emotions came to him with surprising facility, but on the other hand he had a lot of trouble with routine items, such as, for instance, the opening and closing of doors, or shaking hands when there were numerous characters in a room, and one person or two persons saluted many people.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“We are like travellers using the cinders of a volcano to roast their eggs. Whilst we see that it always stands ready to clothe what we would say, we cannot avoid the question whether the characters are not significant of themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
