Characters in Adventure Time: Candy Kingdom
Voiced by: Steve Little, Mace Montgomery Miskel (as Pep)

I'd like your flesh.

Princess Bubblegum's loyal servant. Best friends with Death. Will probably eat your flesh while you are sleeping.


    Cinnamon Bun

Cinnamon Bun as the Flame Knight
Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker

Okay. I'm gonna do it. Okay okay okay. Everyone watch! I'm gonna do a flip!

One of the many inhabitants of the Candy Kingdom. Half-baked. Has a tendency to fall down. He eventually becomes more competent, even proving to be a more capable warrior than Finn, in "Red Throne." He is now Fire Princess' self proclaimed "Knight and Champion."


  • Achievements in Ignorance: Is the only person besides the Princess herself not to be knocked out by Princess Bubblegum's new knockout gas, which requires sheer willpower to resist, without even trying.
  • Ambiguously Bi: He's shown interest in LSP in an episode or two, but a brief gag in "All Your Fault" seems to have him going on a date with Jake, who has shapeshifted to look like a female version of him.
  • The Aloner: He chooses not to involve himself in the events of the "Elements" arc because he's unable to do anything about the Fire Elementals, staying far away from the Fire Kingdom's castle.
  • Beyond the Impossible: He taught a Firewolf to fly. Somehow.
  • The Champion: As of "The Red Throne," to Flame Princess.
  • Character Development:
    • His appearance in "Red Throne" shows that he's changed from a dimwitted man-child to a competent and capable warrior.
    • This happens when a flame kingdom inhabitant tries to burn him, only for the flame shield to protect him. So instead of being burnt, he becomes fully baked.
  • Demonic Possession: Happens to him in "The Suitor," in which Peppermint Butler summons a demon named Ogdoad and offers Cinnamon Bun as a willing vessel.
  • The Ditz: In Jake's words, he's Half-Baked. He becomes more focused in "Red Throne".
  • Dumbass No More: He becomes much more intelligent after he becomes fully baked in "Red Throne".
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: He had bulging green eyes in his early Season 1 appearances.
  • Establishing Character Moment: In his first appearance, during the Candy Party in "The Enchiridion", Cinnamon Bun tries to flip, but instead falls backwards, causing the tower Princess Bubblegum is in to crack and nearly kill the princess. It's all downhill from there. And reverses direction as of "Red Throne".
  • Glass Cannon: Has considerable strength, but in his own words he's "Soft" and and can be easily broken.
  • The Klutz: His lack or coordination nearly gets Princess Bubblegum killed in "The Enchiridion".
  • Large Ham: He definitely has his moments of hamminess.
    "I! NEED! SOFT! LIIIIIIIIIGHT!"
  • Literal Metaphor: He's often described as being "Half-baked", meaning foolish. It takes having fire thrown in his face to fully bake him, making him more intelligent.
  • Manchild: Best displayed in the third Five Short Graybles where he goes ballistic when Princess Bubblegum takes away his night light.
  • The Millstone: The amount of times things go wrong because of him is immense.
  • Nice Guy: Despite his lack of intelligence, or common sense for that matter, Cinnamon Bun is a genuinely nice guy.
  • Nightmare Face: When possessed by Ogdoad.
  • Number Two:
    • In spite of his limitations, PB uses him for routine tasks in the Candy Kingdom.
    • He later becomes this to Flame Princess after they take control of the Fire Kingdom.
  • Odd Friendship: With Flame Princess.
  • Patient Zero: For the second outbreak of the Candy Zombie plague in "From Bad To Worse".
  • Took a Level in Badass: In "Red Throne," he's become much more competent and capable than he ever was.
  • Vocal Evolution: His first speaking role ("The Enchiridion!") gave him a high and nasal voice, which was exchanged later on for a deep and gruff Simpleton Voice.
  • Voodoo Shark: Played for laughs when Finn and Jake show surprise over how a firewolf could fly. His only response was "yeah, I taught him."

    Starchie 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/starchy_at.png
Voiced by: Tom Kenny

An inhabitant of the Candy Kingdom, distinguished by his hat, mustache, and the fact that he's a ball of starch. Starchie works as a gravedigger and runs his own late-night radio talk show.


  • Butt-Monkey: Bad things tend to happen to him, like getting thrown in the dungeon, attacked by zombies, or getting Freezer Burn Flu.
  • Conspiracy Theorist: He takes calls from them on his radio show.
  • The Cuckoolander Was Right: Turns out he was right about PB being replaced by a lizard imposter in "We Fixed a Truck".
  • Faking the Dead: Faked his death and ran away to get away from Princess Bubblegum's intrusive surveillance. She then had him cloned.
  • Felony Misdemeanor: Being thrown in the dungeon for three hours by the Earl of Lemongrab. Starchie doubted he would even survive that long.
  • Gasshole: Squeeze him and he'll fart.
  • Gone Horribly Right: The Ice King's pained howls free him from the Freezer Burn Flu, and after saying he feels healthy again, he immediately bulks up even more.
    Starchie's feeling healthy again. [Bulks up further] A bit too healthy if you ask me.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: He can't help it. Flesh is delicious.
  • Living Polyhedron: As you'd expect from a living chocolate malt ball.
  • Signature Headgear: One of his distinguishing features.
  • Third-Person Person: Always seems to refer to himself in the third person:
    [Upon being sent to the dungeon] If Starchie lives that long.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: While original Starchie was a kindly old man, his clone is a jerk.

    Mr. Cupcake 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/150px-mrcupcake_6537.png

The strongman of the Candy Kingdom, Mr. Cupcake is, as his name suggests, a giant cupcake.


  • Feel No Pain: In an attempt to avoid going and living with Lemongrab for a few weeks so he wouldn't be so lonely, Mr. Cupcake broke his own arm. The only sound he made during the whole thing was a single grunt, which sounded more from effort.
  • Naked People Are Funny: In "Slumber Party Panic", while playing Truth or Dare, Chocoberry dares him to take off his wrapper.
  • Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Very well spoken.
    Mr. Cupcake: "Surely this frosted drink will soothe my fevered tempers." [Drinks milk shake when he hears Hug Wolf Finn] "Hello? Good heavens! A lycanthrope!"
  • World's Strongest Man: He's supposedly the strongest of all the candy people.

    Banana Guards 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/125px-banan_guard_1400.png

The Royal Guard of the Candy Kingdom, serving as both police and bodyguards to Princess Bubblegum.


  • Bananas Are Funny: They're living bananas who are portrayed as dumb-as-rocks keystone cops who constantly mess up and are often the subject of physical comedy (those stiff banana bodies aren't very graceful). They're pretty much always Played for Laughs when they appear.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The Banana Guards of the past that appear in "The Vault" are color green. Fitting, as bananas start off green and then turn yellow as they ripen.
  • Hidden Depths: As seen in "The Thin Yellow Line", many of them have talents and interests outside of their jobs. For example, Banana Guard 16 is secretly a talented artist.
  • Human Shield: They literally use themselves as barricades in "Princess Cookie". Though maybe it's more "Banana guard" shield.
  • Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here: In "You Made Me", they didn't tell Princess Bubblegum about Lemongrab sneaking into Candy People's rooms because it would take away their "weird TV show", which they wanted to keep because, in their words, "Banana Guarding is boring".
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: As revealed in "The Thin Yellow Line", many of them have talents that they hide out of fear of Princess Bubblegum.
  • Police Are Useless: They rarely manage to accomplish their job in protecting the kingdom.
  • Praetorian Guard: For Princess Bubblegum.
  • Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: They make "weeoooh-weeoooh-weeoooh" siren sounds whenever they're called to an emergency.
  • You Are Number Six: In "The Thin Yellow Line", Finn meets one called Banana Guard 16, implying that the others are numbered as well.

    Gumball Guardians 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/100px-gumball_guardian_1890.png
Voiced by: Tom Kenny & Steve Little

A pair of giant Candy People with gumball machine heads. Initially presumed to be statues, they sit at opposite ends of the kingdom blowing bubbles. They only act in the utmost circumstances, such as The Lich going on a rampage in the city. They are also the Guardians of the Royal Promise, punishing those who break Royal Promises. They were built by Princess Bubblegum during the early days of the candy Kingdom as a way to defend the candy people from the bath gang and were responsible for the death of Shoko.


  • And I Must Scream:
    • "Mortal Recoil" reveals that they retain some sentience if their heads are smashed, but are unable to move their bodies.
    • The one that is assimilated by GOLB's monster begs to be saved as he slowly turns into a Lich-like being.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: In the finale, one of them gets corrupted by Golb and has only enough time to beg for help before turning into a grotesque monster. He is then vaporized when Betty puts a stop to Golb's actions.
  • Demonic Possession: By Little Dude in the titular episode and as a result of Golb's corruption in "Come Along With Me".
  • Detect Evil: They have the ability to sense a nearby "evil presence" and automatically respond to it. Interestingly, the fact they never respond to Ice King's frequent kidnapping of Princess Bubblegum foreshadows the fact that, despite his frequent antagonistic role and repeated villainous actions, he's not genuinely evil.
  • Eye Scream: Marceline gouges one of his eyes after he is corrupted by GOLB. It doesn't do much in the long run, as by this point the Guardian had developed a Healing Factor.
  • Felony Misdemeanor: When Princess Bubblegum pleads for Finn, they decide to give him a less hot trial: Math questions.
  • Killed Off for Real: During the battle against GOLB and his monster, one of them is killed by the monster while the other mutated into another monster. Following the battle, the mutated one is vaporized by Betty after fusing with GOLB. While it's unknown if Princess Bubblegum could repair the one that got destroyed, post-finale content shows the Candy Kingdom without the Gumball Guardians, implying that she couldn't.
  • Kill It with Fire: Their initial punishment for breaking a Royal Promise is to subject the promise-breaker to Trial by Fire.
  • Time Stands Still: They do this when you break a Royal Promise, causing everyone but the promise breaker and the one who demanded the promise to freeze solid.
  • Wave-Motion Gun: Have a rather... impressive weapon that has only been seen once while being piloted by Finn's mind-control hat.
  • The Worf Effect:
    • If anything is strong or evil enough to get their attention (Like The Lich or Gunther), they get beaten fairly quickly. Subverted on occasion, as they do most of the work when the Oozers invade the Candy Kingdom.
    • In the finale both of them die rather gruesome deaths, with one of them being converted into a gigantic Lich-like creature before Betty erases him.
  • Your Head A-Splode:
    • They suffer this when Finn gets the math question right.
    • The most common way to incapacitate them.

    Royal Tart Toter 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-toter_109.png
Voiced by: Stephen Root

The Guardian of the Royal Tarts, the only Candy Kingdom food worth killing for. He protected the Royal Tarts when they were escorted to the Annual Back Rubbing Ceremony, until he became senile and unable to discharge his duties. Sadly, his mental state has left him unaware of that, and he still believes he's carrying the Royal Tarts.


  • Autocannibalism: The bites that are taken out of him are implied to be self-inflicted, given that his reappearance in Princess Cookie shows him wearing a pet-cone around his neck, as if he's bitten himself regularly.
  • Black Eyes of Crazy: His eyes look like this, and he's quite crazy, although he's implied to be a tender person with a great deal of faith in the goodness in people and in possession of an optimistic heart if the bizarre, nonsensical speech he gives at the end of his debut is any indication.
  • Handicapped Badass: Implied. While he's no fighter, the fact that he's been surviving in the wild for who knows how long without the ability to see or hear, on top of being completely insane and having no attachment to reality whatsoever, he's one hell of a survivor.
  • Informed Flaw: Apparently he's considered dangerous enough for Princess Bubblegum to tell everyone to stay completely still when he unexpectedly shows up during the Annual Back Rubbing Ceremony, even though all he does is give a bizarre, highly eloquent, optimistic, yet also completely nonsensical speech about his view of life. We later on see him in a mental hospital in Princess Cookie, wearing a pet-cone around his neck, implying the bite marks on his body are all self-inflicted.
  • Loon with a Heart of Gold: Although he's completely and absolutely insane, the bizarre, nonsensical soliloquy he gives in his debut episode implies that he has a positive, optimistic view of the people and the world around him.
  • MacGuffin Guardian: His job was to guard the Royal Tarts in their journey from the Candy Kingdom to the Sacred Backrubbing Ceremony.
  • The Mentally Disturbed: He is senile and schizophrenic.
  • Mind Screw: The infamous "Tart Toter speech":
    Royal Tart Toter: This cosmic dance of bursting decadence and withheld permissions twists all our arms collectively, but... if sweetness can win—and it can—then I'll still be here tomorrow to high-five you yesterday, my friend. Peace.
  • Serious Business: Guarding the Royal Tarts was. In the title card of "The Other Tarts" shows him having to fight off several people trying to grab the Tarts.
  • Sophisticated as Hell: He ends his bizarre, highly philosophical, and eloquent stream-of-consciousness rant with a casual "peace."
  • Super-Senses: Princess Bubblegum mentions that he's able to "feel" the movements of others despite being blind and deaf.

    Stormo 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-stormo_2_9323.png
Voiced by: Henry Linehan

Yet another experiment, made to counter Goliad using Finn's hair as a base. Stormo quickly proves true to his heroic roots and traps Goliad and himself for all eternity, to save the Candy Kingdom.


    Princess Cookie 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-princess_cookie_8206.png
Voiced by: Donald Faison

A chocolate chip cookie orphan who wanted to grow up to be a princess, so as to spread love and joy. But Princess Bubblegum laughed when she heard this, because he's really a dude named Baby-Snaps. Eventually grew up and held a convenience store full of candy people hostage. Currently resides in a candy people mental institute.


  • All of the Other Reindeer: Didn't really fit in with the other orphans.
  • Driven to Suicide: But since he's a cookie, he just cracked apart. He got better, though.
  • Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: He never wanted to hurt anyone, just be a princess and make others happy as his childhood hero Princess Bubblegum had to his friends and himself.
  • Poor Communication Kills: Princess Bubblegum laughing and patting him on his head when he told her his dream didn't have any malice behind it, but he sure thought it did.
  • Theme Naming: His chips, which can separate from him and act independently, all have names like Chipolina and Chipler.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Jake gave him a crown while visiting him in the hospital, making him the unofficial princess of the Grass Lands. He was ecstatic about that.

    Braco 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-braco_5785.jpg
Voiced by: Johnny Pemberton

One of Princess Bubblegums many suitors, Braco is the third generation of his family to become a suitor after his father ascended. At the age of twenty one he was the youngest suitor by far, with the oldest being over three-hundred. He looks like a normal human except for his skin color and the crystal like candy on his head. His whole personality revolves around his intense infatuation with Bubblegum.


  • Ambiguously Human: Looks like a normal human except for skin color and sugar crystals in his head. He looks similar to a humanoid Banana Guard, implying that one of his ancestors was one.
  • Body Horror: Ogdoad's spell makes him into a hideous monster, but see below...
  • Deal with the Devil: He makes a deal with the shadow creature Ogdoad to make him irresistible to Bubblegum.
  • Dogged Nice Guy: Deconstructed. His efforts are expressly against the princess's wishes and bring him nothing but pain.
  • Even the Guys Want Him: The effects of Ogdoad's spell causes everyone to love him.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Every bad thing that happens to him physically is because he is so infatuated with Bubblegum that he doesn't think things through; which includes jumping into a fire pit and accepting Ogdoad's offer despite the demons warning.

    Root Beer Guy 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/100px-root_beer_float_8455.png
Voiced by: Jack Pendarvis

A background character who ends up the focus of the episode "Root Beer Guy". A Candy Kingdom telemarketer and wannabe mystery writer, he spies Finn and Jake kidnapping the princess once night and investigates the case despite the concerns of his wife, Cherry Cream Soda. As it turns out, the kidnapping was all staged to test the Banana Guards, who not only horribly failed the case, but had Root Beer Guy handcuffed. As a result, Root Beer Guy was promoted to the head of the Banana Guards.


  • A Day in the Limelight: "Root Beer Guy" is his.
  • Back from the Dead: A bolt of lightning strikes his remains and he comes back as Dirt Beer Guy.
  • Bus Crash: He died for a second and final time in the Time Skip between the series' end and "Together Again". Finn saw a skeleton that resembled him in the bird nest.
  • Came Back Strong: When he is resurrected as Dirt Beer Guy, he gains zombie super strength.
  • Da Chief: At the end of his debut episode, he become this to the Banana Guards. He later loses his position after being killed with it being taken over by Colonel Candy Corn.
  • Hardboiled Detective: He fantasizes of becoming one; even acting as a detective when it seems Princess Bubblegum was kidnapped.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: He's killed putting up a dome around Darren and Maja.
  • Killed Off for Real: Dies while helping to seal Darren in "Something Big". While some of the candy people are restored after Darren is killed, Root Beer Guy is the only one still dead. Subverted later on when he returns in "Cherry Cream Soda" as Dirt Beer Guy.
  • Only Sane Man: Becomes this to the Candy Kingdom police due to being made head of the Banana Guards.
  • Our Zombies Are Different: Sort of a zombie; he was revived via a lightning bolt, and assimilated with the soil he was buried beneath. Given he is fully sapient, that would make him more along the lines of a Revenant Zombie.

    Cherry Cream Soda 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cherry_cream_soda.jpg
Voiced by: Anne Heche

An attorney as well as the wife of Root Beer Guy.


    Rattleballs 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1390578008000-rattle_1836.jpg
Voiced by: Rainn Wilson

A robotic gumball machine and a mysterious, masterful swordsman who lives out in a junkyard. He far surpasses Finn and the blade of grass by skill alone in their first fight. Though reluctant to train Finn at first, he agrees after Finn does him a long needed favor. He then reveals to Finn that he is the last of an elite force of gumball machine police-bots that Princess Bubblegum massacred a long time ago following a mass lapse in their discipline. When Finn reveals his existence to Bubblegum, she sends a squad to the junkyard to ambush Rattleballs. He incapacitates all of them but leaves them alive, and after thus proving his skill and re-pledging his loyalty to Bubblegum, she hires him as a vigilant watch over the night in the Candy Kingdom.


  • Blank White Eyes: His eyes are like this, but it's rarely seen as they're always closed.
  • Blood Knight: In his past, he, like all the other Gumball Guards, was very battle-merry.
  • Badass Normal: Acquired his skills through centuries of constant training rather than just his programming.
  • Duel to the Death: He fought these against his own kin. Witnessing one of these duels is what drove PB into wiping out Rattleballs' kind.
  • Eyes Always Closed: Rattleballs and the rest of his line rarely opened their eyes, unless they were startled.
  • Handicapped Badass: Downplayed. When Finn first encounters him, one of Rattleballs' gumballs gets lodged somewhere in his body causing him to cough for years. But even before then, he's still a Master Swordsman of the highest caliber.
  • In the Hood: When he first fights Finn, as well as after Princess Bubblegum hires him as a secret knight to watch over the Candy Kingdom.
  • Last of His Kind: Bubblegum crushed the rest and attempted to destroy him as well.
  • Master Swordsman: Rattleballs' skill with his rapier is unmatched by anyone in Ooo. His "secret technique", the "Shadowless Thrust", can tear buildings asunder while leaving Finn completely untouched.
  • Mecha-Mooks: He and the other Rattleballs were basically an army of candy-sized Gumball Guardians.
  • Meaningful Name: See those gumballs? The ones where his testicles would normally be? They rattle.
  • The Mentor: He at least tries to teach Finn the way of the sword. While they don't make much progress in his only notable appearance, Finn's shown he's picked up a thing or two from him, such as in "Winter Lights".
  • Really Seven Hundred Years Old: He was built a while after the radioactive river from "Shoko" was gone, but when Bubblegum created him, the Candy Kingdom still wasn't finished and the Banana Guards were still green.
  • "Second Law" My Ass!: He had to use all of his willpower to turn away from the wall, look at the massacre, and escape. This is a rare instance when the trope is given to a good-aligned robot who isn't an anti heroic Jerkass.
  • Shout-Out: He's a gumball machine on a Cartoon Network show who, like the employees of a certain other gumball machine on a Cartoon Network show, says the word "eggscelent".
  • Sinister Scimitar: Subverted. His weapon of choice is a saber but is otherwise a fair and loyal warrior.
  • Sliding Scale of Robot Intelligence: Probably a Grade 3, but he makes up for it as a Badass Normal.
  • Technical Pacifist: When Bubblegum thinks he's slain her entire ambush squad, the squad is revealed to be bruised but alive, thus demonstrating both his skill and his self-control.
  • Three Laws-Compliant: He interprets the First Law loosely (see Technical Pacifist, above), plays the Third Law straight, while the rest of his kind walk straight to the crusher, but...
  • Undying Loyalty: Even at his most bloodthirsty, Rattleballs remains loyal to Princess Bubblegum and the Candy Kingdom due to his programming.
  • The Worf Effect: His reappearance in "Reboot" has him immediately get crushed by an out-of-control Susan Strong.

    James 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4652744cbcaf4fd1cd83ff030a66c361.png
Voiced by: Andy Merrill

A Candy Person who accompanies Finn, Jake and Bubblegum on a mission.


  • Body of Bodies: The end result of a bunch of James clones dogpiling the ooze mutant original is melding together into one James mass at the end of "James II".
  • Casting Gag: Andy Merrill plays a Manchild who is not all there in the head, just like his role as Brak from Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: He is more than willing to sacrifice himself to save Princess Bubblegum. Even if she's not actually in danger. Deconstructed because he's only so willing because he knows he will be cloned, the copies aren't actually sacrificing themselves, and they're just doing it to be rewarded medals.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: His behavior is... strange, to say the least.
  • The Exile: PB makes him leave the Candy Kingdom after the events of "James II." No one will miss him.
  • Faking the Dead: Each clone fakes his death to get medals.
  • Glory Hound: Each of his clones fake their deaths just to collect medals.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: He lets himself be killed by the Ooze Monsters so that PB, Finn, and Jake can get away.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: The original reason that he starts faking his death- so that Bubblegum will clone him and he'll have a new friend to hang out with. After that, it just becomes about the medals.
  • They Killed Kenny Again: He's died defending Bubblegum at least twenty-five times. Or so it seems.
  • The Millstone: The original's sacrifice could have been completely avoided were it not for his gross incompetence on a serious mission.
  • Not Quite Dead: The original James is revealed to still be alive, after a fashion, as an ooze mutant in "James II".
  • What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Bubblegum lets him sacrifice himself rather than let Finn do it, because he's made of candy and can be easily cloned, while Finn can't.

    Colonel Candy Corn 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f011265bc3ec2751980029e8ef449cd6.png
Voiced by: Keith Ferguson

A retired officer in the Candy Kingdom military. Commands the Banana Guards after Root Beer Guy's death.


  • Back from the Dead: He's one of the candy people Princess Bubblegum brought back with her Decorpsinator serum.
  • Blood Knight: He's easily the most eager to go to war with Gumbaldia, to the point where he looks downright disappointed it was stopped in the finale's Ending Montage.
  • Came Back Strong: Implied. PB says the serum was meant to bring dead candy people back with the same healthy vitality as Finn. CCC may still look decrepit, but he can definitely fight like a younger...uh, kernel?
  • Colonel Badass: Battles Darren's monster soldiers with a saber.
  • Da Chief: Of the Banana Guards after Root Beer Guy's death.
  • The Generalissimo: Declares a military dictatorship in the Candy Kingdom when Princess Bubblegum is feared dead.
  • May–December Romance: He's looking for one of these, hoping for a "young woman with an old soul".
  • Old Soldier: He's ancient, but it doesn't stop him from fighting Maja and Darren in "Something Big".
  • Retired Badass: Until "Something Big" forces him out of retirement.
  • Tyrant Takes the Helm: Very briefly in "The Pajama War".

    Punchy the Punch Bowl 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bonnibel_bubblegum_075_8.webp
SPOILERS
Voiced by: Mark Hamill, Fred Melamed (as Gumbald)

A party-obsessed punch bowl who turned out to be PB's mysterious uncle.

For his true form, see Adventure Time: Major Antagonists


  • Flat Character: He gets the least development out of the three candy citizens who turn out to be Princess Bubblegum's relatives. It's subverted in his true form as Gumbald, who is much more developed than Punchy.
  • Life of the Party: Considering that he's a common item at a party, this should be expected whenever a party starts.
  • Was Once a Man: Used to be Uncle Gumbald, and got reverted to his original form after Lumpy Space Princess reset everyone to their original forms. He gets turned back into a candy citizen after his failed betrayal attempt.

    Manfried 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/150px-manfried_2943.png
SPOILERS
Voiced by: Maria Bamford

A talking pinata, Manfried serves as a PA for the Candy Kingdom.


  • Bearer of Bad News: Usually this for Princess Bubblegum.
  • Big "WHAT?!": In "Slumber Party Panic", upon hearing that they were going to smash pinatas. Finn quickly reassured him that he wasn't going to be smashed.
  • Cool Horse: Or in this case, a cool pinata. It turns out she is actually Aunt Lolly, who was the one to betray Uncle Gumbald after his final betrayal attempt.
  • Samus Is a Girl: In a flashback episode, it was revealed that he was actually PB's Aunt Lolly who got transformed into a candy person.
  • Was Once a Man: She was previously PB's Aunt Lolly, turned into a pinata by Uncle Gumbald. Unlike Chicle and Gumbald however, Lolly is the only one that doesn't return to their candy person form following "Come Along With Me".

    Crunchy 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crunchy_adventure_time.png
Click here to see Chicle.
Voiced by: Tom Kenny

A candy person.


  • Ambiguous Gender Identity: Crunchy is generally seen as a male character. However, in "The Dark Cloud," Crunchy refers to herself using the pronoun "her" and gives herself the title of princess, which suggests that she may identify as female. Crunchy was explicitly assigned male at birth in the form of Chicle. Unclear if the two have the same gender identity.
  • Accidental Hero: He kills the Hierophant, an extremely dangerous vampire, by bumping into him.
  • Back from the Dead: He explodes in fear in "Something Big", but a title card at the end reveals that he got put back together.
  • The Dog Bites Back: He knocks the King of Ooo into a fireplace and melts him when he tires of the King's abuse.
  • Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: The King of Ooo hunts him for sport during his reign as princess.
  • The Starscream: Under Colonel Candy Corn's brief dictatorship.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Like Princess Cookie, Crunchy is a talking chocolate chip cookie residing in the candy kingdom who longs to become princess.
  • The Usurper: Twice. First from Colonel Candy Corn when Princess Bubblegum briefly disappears in "The Pajama War", and then from the King of Ooo when the Candy People turn against him in "The Dark Cloud". Later we find out he was one of the first candy people, who planned to betray Bubblegum, but became what he was today when Gumbald betrayed him first.
  • Vocal Dissonance: His voice is impressively deep and scratchy given his appearance.
  • Was Once a Man: Used to be another fully intelligent bubblegum person, PB's "cousin" Chicle, but was turned into a candy person by Uncle Gumbald.

    Neddy 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adventure_time_neddy.png
Voiced by: Andres Salaff

A candy dragon who lives in the depths of the Candy Kingdom, suckling on the roots of the candy tree and secreting candy juice that the rest of the Candy Kingdom uses for bathing and healing. He's also Princess Bubblegum's brother.


  • Barrier Maiden: The whole kingdom runs on the juices he secretes.
  • Big Little Brother: Only a few seconds younger than Bonnie, but he absolutely dwarfs her in size, which can be seen when she goes to calm him down.
  • Blob Monster: Like his sister, he was originally part of a massive wad of gum that PB refers to as "the Mother Gum". He and PB eventually broke away from it and became their own separate beings. Neddy looked quite a lot like a blob even after breaking away from the Mother Gum, and he somehow evolved to look like a dragon.
  • Childhood Brain Damage: Psychological variant. It is implied that experiencing the pain of a sharp rock wound just after birth caused an irrational fear of everything and everyone, except for Bonnie.
  • Immortal Immaturity: He's a little younger than Bonnie, but acts very much like a very young frightened child. His sister keeping him in isolation probably contributed to it. He's very fearful of the outside world and is only happy when sucking on the roots of candy trees and being with Bonnie relaxes him.
  • Madwoman in the Attic: Played With; Princess Bubblegum keeps him hidden away, not because she's embarrassed by him, but to keep him safe since he's so sensitive and so terrified of everyone and everything. He really just wants to be left alone to suck on the candy tree roots, which lets him provide the Candy Kingdom with precious candy juice to keep them healthy and clean. Despite this, there was a rumor among the Banana Guards that PB kept him chained up (though this further implies that Neddy's existence isn't even secret). Apparently, PB's artificial family she made was aware of Neddy's existence and she made them in order to have someone like her to talk to, implying she was a bit overwhelmed when dealing with him when she was younger. Nonetheless, she still loved him and got pissed when Gumbald threatened him.
  • Nervous Wreck: Due to landing on a sharp rock literally seconds after he was born, Neddy is terrified of everyone and everything, with the only thing to pacify him being sucking on the roots of the candy tree. The only thing that doesn't scare him is PB.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: He's huge and made of gum, for one thing. He also has tiny wings, his head is upside down, and he secretes precious candy juice by suckling on the roots of the candy tree.
  • Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Like PB, he's around 827 years old since he was "born" shortly after she was. Not that you could tell at first glance, since he acts like a frightened child most of the time.
  • The Speechless: He never actually speaks and can only make various sounds (usually crying or screaming in terror).
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Glimpses of the Candy Kingdom's future leave it uncertain what his fate is.
