== Main Characters ==
===Grim Reaper===
Grim is the [[Grim Reaper]], [[Death (personification)|personification of Death]], here portrayed as a [[scythe]]-wielding skeleton in a black hooded robe and speaks with a [[Jamaica|Jamaican accent]]. The Grim Reaper is over 10,000 years old; he was a child at the time of the [[Neanderthal]]s. As a young skeleton, he replaced his older father as the Grim Reaper. He did not get along well with his father. However, Grim eventually learned to enjoy Grim Reaping.
By losing a bet to Billy and Mandy, he was fated to be their "best friend" forever, but the children treat him more like a slave. He often is forced to do their chores and create [[supernatural]] [[Recreation|fun]] for them. Grim enjoys all kinds of chaos, despair, torture, and many other dark things. He attends children's [[martial arts]] classes. Grim is slowly adapting to modern life, and is usually seen, in his free time, watching [[television]].

===Billy===
{{TOClimit|limit=2}}
Billy is an extremely happy-go-lucky child, with an IQ of -5, which is far below the upper limit of being [[mental retardation|mentally retarded]]. He has a pink, extremely large nose, wears a blue and white striped shirt, and covers his orange hair with a red hat. Like his father, he has a number of unpleasant habits, including [[nose-picking]], [[flatulence]], [[chauvinism#male chauvinism|male chauvinism]],. Prone to surprising and nonsensical fits of rage, he is extremely hyperactive, with a knack for causing all kinds of disasters, often related to abusing Grim's supernatural items, Billy has an obsession with naming most of his new friends. He has [[Arachnophobia]], [[Coulrophobia]].
== Main characters ==
=== Billy ===
===Mandy===
''Voiced by'': [[Richard Steven Horvitz]]
Mandy is Billy's closest friend, but is full of hate. It has been known that she has been full of anger since she was in the womb. Her character stands in stark contrast with Billy: a blond horn-like hairdo (which makes some fans think that this form of hairstyle resembles a kind of gravestone), noseless girl, with an acerbic and sarcastic attitude, evil personality ("I'm all for the abuse and exploitation of the stupid."), and often surprising intellect and knowledge of the supernatural, spouting semi-useful information about a strange creature they come across. Mandy is a fearless fighter who will stand up to schoolyard bullies and monsters from the underworld without flinching. She rarely smiles, except on a couple occasions. She is rude to essentially everyone, including her parents, who fear her very presence. Appearing as something of a downer in the very first episodes, she has since become more dark and powerful; her role with Billy has also changed from a good friend to ruling over him, constantly bossing him and Grim around.

== Billy and Mandy's Classmates ==
Billy is a happy-go-lucky, dim-witted, and naive child, with an IQ of -5. He has a large pink nose, wears a blue and white striped shirt, and covers his orange hair with a red hat. Like his father, he has a number of unpleasant habits, including nose-picking, flatulence, and [[chauvinism#male chauvinism|male chauvinism]]. Billy loves everything in the world including bunnies, flowers, and even dirty socks, which he eats. The only things Billy hates are spiders, especially Jeff the Spider, and clowns. Billy's favorite cereals are Bran (shown in Little Rock of Horror) and Bunny Bits. He is occasionally prone to nonsensical fits
=== Irwin ===
of rage (these instances show even MANDY running away rather than face him), he is hyperactive, with a knack for causing disasters, often related to abusing Grim's supernatural items (In the pilot episode "Meet the reaper" Billy thought Grim's scythe was a hockey stick). Billy literally has no brain, in one instance, Mandy shows Grim an X-ray of Billy, in which we see a screw bolt where Billy's brain should be. Billy has an obsession with naming most of his new friends. Billy also has trouble telling people apart from other people, such as him thinking Grim was Santa Claus in the pilot and thinking Nergal was [[Tony Curtis]] in "Love Is Evol Spelled Backwards". Billy is a fan of [[Zoids|"Dinobanoids"]] and [[Pokémon|"Hokey mon"]]. He has [[Arachnophobia]], [[Entomophobia]], and [[Coulrophobia]] (it is stated in the Big Boogey Adventure that Billy is also afraid of the mailman though he greets the mail in "Lil' Porkchop" and "Billy Idiot"). Usually, Billy is abused by his "friend" Mandy, whether it's insults or even physical violence. Billy is also a "Person Scout". He may also have [[Scotland|Scottish]] heritage as his [[grandad]] has a scottish accent in "Billy Idiot" and plays the Bagpipes (Lil Porkchop).
Next to Mandy and Grim, Irwin is Billy's closest friend. He is a nerd who desperately aspires to be cool and frequently ends sentences with "yo". He has an unhealthy crush on Mandy and longs to gain her affection, often stalking her. He frequently fails in both goals, typically [[embarrassment|embarrassing]] himself and getting beat up by her. Irwin might be one of Billy's closest friends but is often forgotten in dangerous situations, as well as being used as bait.
Irwin is slated to appear in the Billy and Mandy spin-off ''Underfist''.
=== Mandy ===
=== Pud'n ===
''Voiced by'': [[Grey DeLisle]]
A physically weak and easily terrified friend and classmate of Billy, Mandy, and Irwin. He's often the victim and/or instigator of some terrible trauma. Pud'n is a red-headed, freckled, buck-toothed little boy who wears a [[hoodie]] and will cry at the slightest provocation. He is very emotional and will burst into tears whenever he gets to emotion. Pud'n loves dollies, bunnies, flowers and many other "girly" things. He is usually found hanging out with Billy and Irwin, being beaten up, or in class. On rare occasions, Pud'n has shown defiance towards his persecutors and bullying potential.
=== Sperg ===
Mandy is Billy's closest friend, but has been full of rage since before her birth. She has a blond devil-horn-like hairdo. Her outfit consists of a pink dress with a picture of a flower on it. She is also the only human character to have no nose, but according to her, she doesn't have one because it is disgusting. This kind of attribute leads to many "nose jokes" refering to Mandy in the cartoon, such as "A noseless mother with bad shoes". In addition, it is revealed in the episode "Really Odd Couple", that she has two small nostrils.
Sperg is the local bully, often seen tormenting Billy, Irwin, Pud'n, and others. He's a husky boy whose preferred method of terrorizing nerds is by administering his "deadly" wedgies. He has a heart-shaped [[tattoo]] that reads "Mom" on his arm and looks up to her. Despite his brutal strength, he is terrified of Mandy.
=== Mindy ===
She has an acerbic and sardonic personality, often saying things like, "I'm all for the abuse and exploitation of the stupid"; in the episode ''Billy Gets an A'', Grim sums her up as a "heartless, foul, despicable demon child". She is very intelligent, and hates other people being smarter than she is. Mandy believes that she never loses, and sees such instances as choosing not to win. She is almost fearless, and is willing to stand up to schoolyard bullies and monsters from the underworld without flinching. The only thing she is seen running from in a vague sort of fear is an enraged Billy. However it is also implied by Billy and Grim that she has a fear of professional [[figure skating]]. It is revealed in the Big Boogey Adventure that her deepest fear is becoming a loving, overweight person and marrying Irwin. When she is forced to face this fear, she comments that she was supposed to have done something important with her life, and (when her older self and older Irwin kiss) promptly flees from the illusion, only to be promptly beaten up by bears.
Mindy is the iconic "[[popular]] girl." She is obsessed with proving her worth to Mandy (when she first moved into Endsville, she wanted to become friends with Mandy but was rejected, starting her hatred for her), who doesn't much care for the spoiled girl. She considers herself superior to her classmates, and her father buys her outrageous gifts. Mindy is red-haired and freckled and she describes herself as "much prettier" than Mandy. She frequently calls her classmates "losers." But deep down inside she envies Mandy's witty ways and all her adventures with her friends Grim and Billy.
=== Nergal Junior ===
Despite the fact that she treats her (only real) friend Billy poorly, it is shown that she has as small attachment towards him since in the Big Boogey Adventure she showed concern towards Billy when he was eaten by the Krakken but when it was shown he survived Mandy immediatelly returned to her old self (she would probably never admit her attachment to him).
Nergal Junior is the son of [[Nergal (Billy and Mandy)|Nergal]] and Aunt Sis, and Billy's cousin. He has the power to [[shapeshift]], and most of the time he appears in the form of a kid who rejected his offer of friendship. When he takes another's shape, he keeps his lime eyes, glasses, green tongue and sharp, yellow teeth. His true form is implied to be freakish and grotesque, and was never seen on-screen until in the episode [[The Most Greatest Love Story Ever Told Ever / Detention X|The Most Greatest Love Story Told Ever]]. Like his father, he is lonely and can't find friends, and because of his desperation, he developed evil tendencies and terrorizes everyone who dislikes him or stands in his way. Junior has rarely called Billy by his first name, instead calling him cousin.
=== Piff ===
Mandy is bossy, and can intimidate almost anyone into doing what she wants with her threats. She torments everyone, including her parents, who fear her very presence. It is even shown that she has a measure of control over almost everyone living in the town of Endsville, and can extend her will upon them if she wishes. This is first seen in the episode Scary Poppins, when her parents hire an imported nanny to teach her some manners and discipline. She retaliates by exerting her control over the denizens of the town (including Jeff!) and using them to get rid of the nanny. Mandy is also a napkin collector, and has dreams of ruling the world. She once got the chance to do this, but she turned it down, as she wants to wait when the time is right. Mandy is also a "Person Scout". Mandy does not smile because it is the law of natural order within the cartoon; the one time she did smile, which was "My Fair Mandy", reality fell apart. When it did it merged with [[The Powerpuff Girls]] reality. She tried to take over the world in [[The Grim Adventures of the Kids Next Door]] by merging with the Delightful Reaper but her plans had failed by Billy's Dad, Numbuh 1 and Grim.
Piff first appears as a friend of Billy in the episode ''[[Grim in Love / Love is Evol Spelled Backwards / Crushed|Crushed]]'', and can be seen with other students in the background of several later episodes. He is a pony tailed part-[[Goth subculture|goth]], part-[[beatnik]], and part-[[Bohemian]] kid who wears all-black clothes, stylish sunglasses, a jaunty [[beret]] and a distinctive "HATE" belt buckle. He is usually silent, and expresses himself only through his imperious attitude, the occasional raised eyebrow and how he applies his saliva to the situation. His real name is never revealed; "Piff" is the name given to him by Billy when Irwin pointed out that they have to call him by some name.
=== GrimSchool Staff ===
=== Eleanor Butterbean ===
Ms. Butterbean is Billy and Mandy's multi-subject teacher. She doesn't seem care about her students despite this, and teaches solely to get her [[paycheck]]. She is often seen napping in the class. The lack of enthusiasm might stem from how Goodvibes said she is paid $2.00 an hour.{{Fact|date=July 2007}}
=== Principal Goodvibes ===
''Voiced by'': [[Greg Eagles]]
''"Goodbling" redirects here. For the episode based on Goodbling, see [[Goodbling and the Hip-Hop-Opotamus]].''
Principal Goodvibes is the principal of Billy and Mandy's school, with a voice reminiscent of [[Paul Lynde]]{{Fact|date=March 2007}}. His name was legally changed to Goodvibes, and he makes sure that his students feel good to the point of ridiculousness. Apparently, being an educator in the show's universe doesn't pay any better than it does in the reality: Goodvibes secretly lives in his car, which is parked in the school parking lot.
Grim is the [[Grim Reaper]], a scythe-wielding skeleton in a black hooded robe. He is over 10,000 years old, speaks in a Jamaican accent, and was elected to his position when he was in middle school. Grim is a relatively carefree figure who particularly enjoys his job, but often appears less than happy with his life with Billy and Mandy. Grim enjoys chaos, despair, torture, and many other dark themes. He attends children martial arts classes. Grim is slowly adapting to modern life, usually seen watching television, eating snacks, and sometimes gardening. His scythe is the source of his powers and possesses many magical qualities, though he is still capable of using magic without it (these instances are rare).
Principal Goodvibes is voiced by [[Chris Cox (actor)|Chris Cox]].
Growing up with a father who loved listening to country rock more than spending time with his own son, Grim pretended to be a country rock star to gain his father's attention. He would later discover his true passion for reaping the souls of mortals, and make it his goal to become a reaper. During his grade school years, Grim befriended a humanoid spider named Velma Green, and made his first major enemy, the Boogey Man. While Grim and Velma were considered nerds in school, they remained best friends for years until the reaper election in middle school. Grim caught Boogey trying to put many fake votes for himself in the box. In an attempt to stop him, Grim decided to put votes for Velma in the box instead, as he thought she was the one who deserved the job the most. Velma saw him, and believing the votes were for Grim, Velma developed a powerful hatred for him. After, Grim was furious at the Boogey Man and got so angry that he took the display scythe and displayed an enormous amount of power. The voters were so impressed, they all voted for him.
== Billy's Family ==
Centuries later, Grim lost a bet to Billy and Mandy, and under the authority of the underworld contract, he was fated to be their "best friend" forever. The contract is legally binding to the point that if he tries to leave via portal, the portal reappears somewhere in Billy's house, in addition to the fact that, as evidenced in the episode "Hurter Monkey", if he violates his contract, he'll go to Underworld Jail for the rest of his life, much to his terror. Despite this, the children treat him more like a slave, often forcing him to do their chores or create supernatural fun for them. This indiginity often leads him to seek ways of getting out of his contract, none of which have worked so far (in the Big Boogey Adventure, Boogey states Grim's ways of trying to get out of his contract as 'Invalidating a legal and binding contract'). He has also tried getting the children into dangerous situations in the hopes that they will not make it out alive, but his attempts always prove to be unsuccessful. His scythe has also been stolen numerous times but he eventually admits he stopped caring 5 episodes ago in episode 66 ("The Secret Snake Club vs P.E.").
While Grim appears to have a pacifistic nature, there are oftentimes when he openly displays fits of anger. He will often help Billy and Mandy with their problems or concerns, but his efforts are usually half-hearted.
== Billy's family ==
=== Harold ===
Harold is Billy's [[father]]; an overweight man with a large, bulbous nose and a lofty black [[pompadour]] hairstyle which he stores his brain in. He strongly resembles his son in [[appearance]], [[Personality psychology|personality]], and [[intelligence (trait)|intelligence]]. According to a caption in the episode [[Dream Mutt / Scythe for Sale]], Harold is a former [[United States Navy SEALs|Navy SEAL]].
''Voiced by'': [[Richard Steven Horvitz]]
Harold, known commonly as Billy's father, is an overweight man with a large, bulbous nose and a lofty black [[pompadour]], in which he stores his brain (this was evidenced in the episode "A Kick in the Asgard"). He resembles his son in appearance, personality, sometimes displaying even more stupidity than Billy himself, once commenting (in disgust) that if Billy looked like his wife, he would be pretty. According to a caption in the episode ''Dream Mutt'', he is a former [[United States Navy SEALs|Navy SEAL]], as well as being a legendary master dancer. Harold's father is seen briefly in flashbacks, only resembles his son with the nose and is quite muscular and large with grey hair, a rather angry demeanor, and an Irish or Scottish accent. Harold has also been shown (on occasion) to be smarter than his exterior shows to be; he (in The Taking Tree) is shown to have been accepted to Harvard.
=== Gladys ===
Billy's mother Gladys is a loving, tolerant and patient, yet mentally unstable, woman despite having to deal with her husband, son, and the presence of the [[Grim (Billy and Mandy)|Grim Reaper]] as her eternal house-guest. She has red hair and is usually seen wearing a floor-length, lavender nightgown. She hates Grim to the point of psychotic obsession she considers him a constant threat to her son's safety. She has a severe facial [[tic]] which usually appears when Billy is misbehaving, when her authority is challenged, or whenever Grim is present, most likely developed as a result of her nervous breakdown in [[Meet the Reaper / Skeletons in the Water Closet|episode 1]]. She is prone to small fits of insanity and [[Obsessive-compulsive disorder|obsessive-compulsive]] episodes.
===Nergal===
''Voiced by'': [[Jennifer Hale]]
Nergal is a mutant creature who lives in the roasting center of the [[Earth]]. He is an all-black [[supernatural]] being with green eyes (with purple pupils), a green mouth, green teeth, and green organs, all of which glow. He wears a black tuxedo jacket with a red shirt and black tie. He has several snakes that extend from his back that can electrocute his victims, one time he used his tentacles to turn everyone in Endsville into demons. He is generally considered something of a loser and he often becomes [[Histrionic personality disorder|histrionic]] over his failings. Later in [[Love is Evol Spelled Backwards]], Nergal meets Billy's aunt Sis and ends up marrying her (which now makes him Billy's uncle). He also has a son named Nergal Junior.
===Aunt Sis===
Billy's mother Gladys is a loving, patient, yet mentally unstable woman. Despite having to deal with her husband, son, and the presence of the Grim Reaper as her eternal house-guest, she has learned to tolerate them. Gladys has red hair and is usually seen wearing a floor-length, lavender nightgown. She hates Grim to the point of psychotic obsession, and considers him a constant threat to her son's safety. She has a severe facial [[tic]] which usually appears when Billy is misbehaving, when her authority is challenged, or whenever Grim is present, most likely developed as a result of her nervous breakdown in the episode ''Skeletons in the Water Closet''. She is prone to small fits of insanity and [[Obsessive-compulsive disorder|obsessive-compulsive]] episodes.
Aunt Sis is Billy's aunt. She is a sullen-looking woman with glasses, a large nose, and a hairstyle similar to Gladys. She is a [[spinster]] (or a "splinter" according to Billy) who has experienced only four-and-a-half minutes of love in her "pathetic, lonely life." In the episode ''[[Love is Evol Spelled Backwards]]'', Nergal decided to try and see if she was desperate enough to be his life partner. His attempt was successful, and the two were married.

He is an all-black supernatural being with green eyes (and purple pupils), a green mouth, green teeth, and green organs, all of which glow. He wears a black tuxedo jacket with a red shirt and black tie. He has several tentacles in his back that can electrocute his victims, one time he used his tentacles to turn everyone in Endsville into demons. What Nergal desires most is having friends, which he once stated that it is quite lonely in the center of the world. He is generally considered something of a loser and he often becomes [[tend from Histrionic personality disorder|histrionic]] over his failings. Later in ''Love is Evol Spelled Backwards'', Nergal meets Billy's Aunt Sis and ends up marrying her (which now makes him Billy's uncle). He also has a son named Nergal Junior.

It is later revealed that he went to middle school with Grim.
==== Mr. Snuggles ====
Billy's pet hamster that appeared in the pilot episode. He was a part of the bet that Grim would become Billy and Mandy's best friend if he lost a game of limbo with them. After that he has appeared very little in the series completely disappearing somewhere after the first season.

Li'l Porkchop is Billy's German pet fish, first seen in the episode ''[[Li'l Porkchop / Skarred for Life|Li'l Porkchop]]''. He was originally pathetically small and hardly breathing, until Grim gave him special fish food out of sympathy for Billy. The food caused him to grow many times his original size, and he began to live without water. Billy didn't realize what was going on and kept putting him into situations with exceedingly hot conditions. Billy eventually flushed him after the heat proved too much, even though the toilet was far too small to fit him. Billy's dad, while fishing, managed to catch him, promptly cooking and eating him. However, he appeared in other episodes.
== Mandy's Family ==
Aunt Sis is Billy's aunt. She is a sullen-looking woman with glasses, a large nose, and a hairstyle similar to Gladys.

=== Phil and Claire ===
Mandy's mom, Claire, has [[blonde hair]] and Phillip, her dad, wears [[glasses]]. While early in the series they seemed to treat Mandy as a normal child, they now appear to live in a state of paranoid fear of their daughter Mandy, who takes advantage of this, making demands whenever she is at home.

''Voiced by'': [[Debi Derryberry]]
Nergal Junior is the son of Nergal and Aunt Sis. He has the power to shapeshift. When he takes another's shape, he keeps his lime eyes, glasses, green tongue and sharp, yellow teeth.

== Mandy's family ==
=== Phil ===
Phil is Mandy's father who has brown hair and wears glasses. Phil is usually seen wearing a white shirt that is unbuttoned at the top or wearing a grey sweater. Phil is more of a slender bachelor-like father who tries to act cool and mellow. He usually tries to have any kind of romantic gesture with his wife at any chance he can get. He, like his wife, also lives in a state of paranoid fear of his daughter Mandy. Phil looks like he might be in his mid-to-late-30s.
=== Claire ===
Claire is Mandy's mother who wears a orange sweater and has long blonde hair in a pony-tail. Even though Claire is a "Pretty Mom" she is smarter than she looks. Claire tries to love Mandy as much as possible but also lives in a state of paranoid fear of her daughter, like her husband. Claire looks to be in her Mid-to-late 20s.
=== Saliva ===
Saliva is Mandy's [[dog]]. Saliva appears to have lower-than average intelligence, motor skills, and awareness. It's name echoes his propensity for drooling [[saliva]], which he does almost constantly. Saliva is very cowardly in the face of danger, usually hiding behind Mandy. He is rarely shown in the series and is talked about more often.

Grim's mother's name is Miriam, and seems to be a [[genie]] of some sort.

=== Cerberus ===
[[Cerberus]] is Grim's out-of-control vicious three-headed [[dog]]. One head is youthful, one is middle-aged, and the final head is an elderly dog that resembles a [[poodle]]. Grim has stated that Cerberus ate his father, although this does not appear to match with the continuity established in other episodes, where Grim's father appears relatively intact and unharmed.
== Irwin's Family ==
[[Cerberus]] is Grim's out-of-control vicious three-headed dog. One head is youthful, one is middle-aged, and the final head is an elderly dog that resembles a poodle. Grim has stated that Cerberus ate his father, although this does not appear to match with the continuity established in other episodes, where Grim's father appears relatively intact and unharmed, though it is possible he was expelled somehow. Cerberus appears in the opening credits of the Big Boogey Adventure, though the left head is the same breed as the other two.
===Dick and Judy===
While Irwin's father is a normal middle-aged man named Dick, Irwin's mother Judy is a [[mummy]]. She lives in a sarcophagus in the basement of Irwin's house, which for unexplained reasons looks like an Egyptian tomb. Irwin's father manages to avoid speaking about. He ends a lot of his sentences with the word "dude". Judging by how he always wears a track suit he might possibly be trying to relive the late 80s early 90s, as evidenced by the speech of him and his son.
===Melvin===
== Irwin's family ==
Melvin is the older brother of Irwin and the eldest child of Dick and Judy. Not much is known of him except that he appeared briefly in the episode "Halls of Time", and mentioned in "Billy and Mandy Begins".
=== Irwin ===
===Tanya===
''Voiced by'': [[Vanessa Marshall]]
Tanya (Granmama) is Irwin's grandmother and Dick's mother. She usually ends sentences with "baby," as Irwin does with "yo," and his father with "dude." She is also the wife of [[Dracula]]. Despite her angry demeanor, she seems to care for Irwin, but will sometimes embarrass him. She doesn't like to be challenged or insulted, and has a hatred of hip-hop music.
Irwin is Billy's nerdy friend who wants to be cool, and frequently ends sentences with the word "yo." He usually dresses in a short sleeved collared shirt, red bow tie, slacks, and round glasses. He has an obsession with Mandy, and fruitlessly longs to gain her affection, but is usually turned down or threatened by her as a response to his actions. This is possibly the reason why he continues to chase her, as he later admits that he likes who she is. This is seen in one episode when Mandy begins to change into a caring person, but Irwin kisses her with the knowledge that such a shock would revert her to normal. In one episode, he uses Grim's scythe to make Mandy fall in love with him, himself becoming a villain. The spell works for a while.
Irwin is Billy's closest friend, but is often forgotten in dangerous situations, as well as being used as bait for the paranormal entities that they often face during their adventures. While seemingly good-natured, it is revealed in a later episode that Irwin has a dark side. He was apparently born evil, but was taught the ways of good by his father, and eventually grew out of his bad behavior. This is due to Irwin having a Mummy for a mother and a Vampire for a Grandfather. Irwin also has an older brother named Melvin. Not much is known of him except that he appeared briefly in the episode "Halls of Time", and is mentioned in "Billy and Mandy Begins". He has one weakness however, his worst fear is telling jokes to wild bears, as revealed in the Big Boogey Adventure.
=== Dick ===
''Voiced by'': [[Phil LaMarr]]
Dick is Irwin's father who is a normal middle-aged man who ends a lot of his sentences with the word "dude". He married a mummy named Judy, who lives in a sarcophagus in the basement of Irwin's house. While it is never explained why, the basement looks like an Egyptian tomb. Irwin's father insists that their unusual pairing leaves "a lot of questions that don't need to be answered." His father-in-law is a mummy, and was once a great Egyptian Pharaoh named Tootinpootin. Unlike his daughter he is somehow able to speak in normal sentences, although he has an old world Hebrew twang to his voice.
=== Judy ===
''Voiced by'': Vanessa Marshall
Judy is Irwin's Mother who is a mummy living in a sarcophagus in the family basement. For unknown reasons, the basement looks like an Egyptian tomb. Her father is King Tootinpootin. Also seen on her car is a license plate with the description above the code (irwinmom) "The Mummy."
=== Melvin ===
Melvin is Irwin's big brother who first appeared in "Halls of Time". He was again mentioned by Irwin in ''Billy & Mandy Begins''.
=== Tanya ===
Tanya, who is usually referred to as "Granmama", is Irwin's grandmother and Dick's mother. She usually ends sentences with "baby", as Irwin does with "yo", and his father with "dude." She is also the wife of [[Dracula]]. Despite her angry demeanor, she seems to care for Irwin, but will sometimes embarrass him. She doesn't like to be challenged or insulted, and has a hatred of "hippity-hop" music. She also uses "yo mama" jokes on people that get in her way of things.
=== Dracula ===
Dracula is Grim's childhood idol and Irwin's grandfather. The once famous vampire lives in the Home Of The Ancients, a retirement home for old Movie Monsters. Dracula talks incredibly fast, and likes to dance. He does not remember names well, and often calls Grim "Skeleton Man" or even "Dummy". He is argumentative and easily distracted. He refers to himself in [[Grammatical person|third person]].
In the [[fall]] of 2006, Dracula became the network's [[Halloween]] horror host in [[puppet]] form, hosting such events as ''Billy's Birthday'' and others. Dracula was yet again a host for the [[Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure]] movie. He also made a cameo in the movie itself, during the musical number. Dracula may also be a tribute to the cult film, [[Blacula]]. He also bears a resemblance to and sound like [[Redd Foxx]] in the show [[Sanford & Son]], particularly in his relationship with Grim.

''Voiced by'': Phil LaMarr
The once famous vampire lives in the Home Of The Ancients, a retirement home for old Movie Monsters. Dracula talks incredibly fast, and likes to dance. He does not remember names well, and often calls Grim "Skeleton Man" or even "Dummy". He is argumentative and easily distracted. He refers to himself in [[Grammatical person|third person]]. His eyes have purple pupils. In ''Dracula Must Die'', it was revealed that he had married Tanya years before and was thus the father of Dick and grandfather of Irwin, a fact that neither of them were aware of. Tanya had assumed that he walked out on the family, when in reality, she had unknowingly chased him out of the house while he was in his bat form, apparently not knowing he could transform himself.

== Billy and Mandy's classmates ==
=== Pud'n ===
''Voiced by'': [[Jane Carr]]
A weak and easily frightened classmate of Billy, Mandy, and Irwin, Pud'n is often the victim and/or instigator of some trauma. He is a red-headed, freckled boy with buck teeth, and he wears a hoodie. He has no parents but was indeed raised by wolves. Despite this, Pud'n loves dollies, bunnies, flowers, and many other "girly" things, and is usually found hanging out with Billy and Irwin, being beaten up, or in class. Pud'n is also a "Person Scout". He is also allergic to pie, as evidenced in "Terror of the Black Knight".
=== Sperg ===
''Voiced by'': Greg Eagles
Sperg is the local bully, who constantly bullies Billy, Irwin, Pud'n, and other kids to no end. He is a husky boy whose preferred method of terrorizing nerds is by administering his deadly wedgies. He has a heart-shaped tattoo that reads "Mom" on his arm, and has a talent for ice carving. Despite his physical strength, he is frightened of Mandy because she is tougher than him. He was even shown to be Nergal Jr.'s pet temporarily and shown he loves tentacles of weird creatures as food.
=== Mindy ===
''Voiced by'': [[Rachael MacFarlane]]
Mindy is the iconic "[[school diva]]" in the series. She is a spoiled child who acts superior to her classmates, and is obsessed with proving her worth to Mandy, who doesn't care for her at all. She is hinted to be quite wealthy, as her parents pamper her with expensive gifts like her motor scooter named "Princess". Red-haired and freckled, Mindy describes herself as being "prettier" than Mandy, but deep down inside she envies Mandy's witty ways and all her adventures with her friends, Grim and Billy. It is implied that she did not receive much attention from her mother when she was younger, resulting in a subconscious plea for attention from anyone who will give it to her. This is possibly the reason why she acts the way she does towards other people. She is always seen in her school clothes, even outside of school.
=== The Secret Snake Club ===
"Snake Nerds" is a common name for three nerdy boys at Billy & Mandy's school who comprise the "Secret Snake Club" which Mandy joins during school club recruitment day in the episode "The Secret Snake Club". The members include Wiggly, Viper a.k.a. Jerome, and King Cobra. Their main meeting is Viper's family basement, which is actually his grandmothers bedroom. All three of them wear long red robes, have secret code names for each other, and have poor personal hygiene. Each member of the Secret snake club has a "level", as they are RPG fanatics. Together they are committed to their dark agenda: summoning snakes which will devour cool kids, leaving nerds to rule the earth.
== School staff ==
=== Principal Goodvibes ===
''Voice by'': [[Chris Cox (actor)|Chris Cox]]
Principal Goodvibes is the principal of Billy and Mandy's school, with a voice reminiscent of [[Paul Lynde]]. His name was legally changed to Goodvibes, and he makes sure that his students feel good to the point of absurdity. Being an educator in the show's universe doesn't pay any better than it does in the reality: Goodvibes secretly lives in his car, which is parked in the school parking lot. From the episode ''Everything Breaks'' onward, he is lot stricter and not as pushed around then before. The two student's he as always hated are Billy and Mandy. In one episode he admitted that he was technally retarded. At one point, after an accident with Grim's Scythe, he turned into Goodbling, a rapper version of himself and made the entire school "hip-hop". He was turned back after a "yo-mama off" with Irwin's grandmma ma.
=== Eleanor Butterbean ===
Voiced By: [[Renee Raudman]]
Ms. Butterbean is Billy & Mandy's teacher. She doesn't care about her students, and teaches solely to get her paycheck. She is often seen napping in class. Her lack of enthusiasm stems from how Goodvibes said she is paid $2.00 an hour.
=== Nurse Penbroke ===
Nurse Penbroke is the nurse of Endsville school. Her most common patients are Billy, Irwin, and Pud'n. She usually has a tired, dull, annoyed, sleepy look, which matches with the bags under her eyes. She can also be very melodramatic, as seen in ''Crushed''. Whenever Billy gets injured badly, instead of rushing to his side to see if he's okay, she just moans a long, dull, and annoyed moan of "Oooooooohhhhh Billy".
== Recurring characters ==
=== Hoss Delgado ===
Hoss is a spectral [[exterminator]]; a hunter of [[Anomalous phenomenon|paranormal]] creatures. He is modeled after [[Ash Williams|Ash]], the protagonist of the famed [[The Evil Dead]] horror movie trilogy and [[Snake Plissken]], the character portrayed by [[Kurt Russell]] in [[John Carpenter]]'s films "[[Escape from New York]]" and "[[Escape from L.A.]]". Hoss possesses one real hand and one mechanical one, the latter of which can seemingly produce any tool he desires, most commonly a metal fist. Hoss is the macho, take no prisoners, gung ho, manly figure in Grim Adventures, though in most episodes he acts in a clumsy and/or goofy manner. For a while he dated Eris, goddess of Chaos. Their relationship was very dysfunctional. His surname translated from Spanish ironically means "''slender''" and his full name is a play on the word "''hostile''". Hoss is known to make incredibly odd and usually completely irrelevant [[metaphors]], often when talking to someone who is either cowardly or stupid. Similarly he uses [[interjection|exclamatory]] phrases which are different but recognizable from their original form.

=== Eris ===
[[Eris (mythology)|Eris]] is the Greek goddess of strife and matron deity of the [[Discordianism]] [[religion]], here portrayed as a curvaceous and beautiful, but vindictive, [[blonde]] [[woman]] with a [[Diastema (dentistry)|gap]] in her teeth. She delights in causing all kinds of chaos, and does a multitude of destructive things. She possesses the powerful [[Apple of Discord]], a golden [[apple]] which can transform into any shape to perpetuate chaos. Her [[Accent (linguistics)|accent]] and behaviour is prone to sudden shifts, from a [[stereotypical]] [[valley girl]] to a refined [[United Kingdom|British]] woman. Eris appears in "Wrath of the Spider Queen", attending the same school as Grim, Velma, Nergal, Lord Pain, and Boogey.
Eris' appearance is possibly a reference to [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]], who is known for her blonde hair and [[coquette|coquettishness]], and for adopting a faux English accent. Eris's teeth gap and mole is similar to Madonna's.
''Voiced by'': [[Rachael MacFarlane]]
For some time, Eris dated Hoss DelGado. Her feelings had the side effect of bringing order to chaos. Destroyed items would merge themselves back together, even if Eris was not around. It is because of this that Mandy decided to restore Chaos by getting Hoss to break up with Eris. Hoss had a hard time dealing with her emotional mood swings and the resulting actions. Grim also had a [[puppy love|crush]] on Eris for a while, but his feelings were unrequited for obvious reasons and she harshly rejected and "dissed" him.

=== General Reginald Skarr ===
General Reginald Skarr first appeared in the show [[Evil Con Carne]], where he was Hector Con Carne's military commander. He is usually a cold-hearted, hateful and harsh man, with big interests in power and world domination. Yet when alone, he behaves more calmly, tending to his garden. He has a scar on his face, and has only one eye. Retired from villainy, he moved into Billy and Mandy's neighborhood in the episode ''[[Li'l Porkchop / Skarred for Life|Skarred for Life]]''. He is constantly struggling with the temptation to return to his evil ways. He attempts to distract himself usually by [[gardening]].
Skarr bears a striking resemblance to Herr Starr, a key antagonist in Garth Ennis and Steve Dylan's comic book series Preacher.
''Voiced by'': [[Armin Shimerman]]
(full name revealed in the Evil Con Carne opening) first appeared in the show [[Evil Con Carne]], where he was Hector Con Carne's military commander. He has a scar on his face, and has only one real eye (his right eye), as the other one is probably a glass eye (his left eye). General Skarr is usually a cold-hearted, hateful, and harsh man, with big interests in power and world domination. While this is true, he tends to behave much more rationally when left alone. Retired from villainy, he moved into Billy and Mandy's neighborhood in the episode ''Skarred for Life''. He is constantly struggling with the temptation to return to his evil ways, often feeling the temptation to steal Grim's scythe and use its power to take over the world. Skarr enjoys tending to his garden, and often uses this hobby as a distraction from his temptation to return to the dark side,as well as making corn bread with real corn because "real corn makes it special." While he is no longer a member of Evil Con Carne, Skarr has many weapons and mementos from his past which he stores in his private study. Among these, are his military outfit, and a large picture of himself with Hector and Ghastly.
Skarr has a deep hatred for Billy, who annoys him to varying extents. It is shown in one episode that he also has a hatred of Ernest, his insane elderly neighbor who stalks him.
Skarr appears in "Underfist" now sporting a gray beard and Mustache and looking older than usual.
Skarr bears a striking resemblance to [[Herr Starr]], a key antagonist in Garth Ennis and Steve Dylan's comic book series ''[[Preacher (comic book)|Preacher]]'', as well as [[Fearless Leader]] from ''[[The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show]]'' and [[General Armin Hirr Skull]] from Wyatt Leahy's comic strip ''[[Evil genius Mayhem]].
=== Boogey Man ===
An old arch-enemy of Grim's since junior high school, and a school bully. Boogey played pranks on Grim in high school. He returned to visit Grim in ''[[Bully Boogie / Here Thar Be Dwarves|Bully Boogie]]''. He is Grim's rival in scaring people, but usually fails in doing so. He is the main villain in the TV movie "[[Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure]]" where he had Grim fired and tried to gain Horror's Hand, a device that would make him all powerful and vastly scary. Boogey competed against Grim, Mandy, Billy, Irwin and a Kraken and eventually lost, becoming more of a coward than ever. Boogey appeared in a flashback scene in [[Billy & Mandy: Wrath of the Spider Queen]].
===Lord Pain===
''Voiced by'': [[Fred Willard]]
Grim's servant who comes from the Plane of Eternal Suffering (he later says he is really Charles from the Plane Of Happy Ponies). He first appeared in [[House of Pain / A Grim Prophecy / Mandy Bites Dog|House of Pain]]. He was also featured in the opening sequence and [[Everything Breaks]] as Mandy's servant. He carries a [[Mace (club)|mace]], [[shield]], wears a spiked [[helmet]] and he has a [[red]] and [[black]] cape and [[turquoise (color)|turquoise]] armor. He has [[tattoos]] all over his body which originally featured Grim, but was later altered to show his devotion to Mandy.
An old arch-enemy of Grim's since junior high school, and a former school bully, Boogey played pranks on Grim throughout his school career. One time, Boogey humiliated Grim in his recital of Hamlet (using a human head instead of a skull), by hooking Grim's costume to a rope, and pulling on it as Grim recites the infamous "To be or not to be? That is the question" line, giving Grim a wedgie in front of the whole class. In middle school, the Boogey Man competed against Grim and Velma for the title of reaper, attempting to cheat his way into the position by threatening to give the voters nightmares if they refuse to elect him, and sneaking papers with his name on them into the votes. He is stopped by Grim, who believed that Velma deserved the position, and uses the prototype scythe to attack Boogey. Boogey's plans are foiled, and Grim is given the position by the voters who witnessed Grim's display of rage.
Boogey is Grim's rival in scaring people, but usually fails in doing so. Constantly frustrated by his inability to scare modern-day children (he blames cartoons, video games and the tuba), Boogey visits Grim in the episode, ''Bully Boogie''. He challenges his old rival to a scaring contest, which he promptly loses, and is banished to another dimension.
The Boogey Man is prominently featured as the main villain in the television movie "[[List of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy episodes#Movies|Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure]]" where he testified against Grim in front of the Underworld Court. After getting his old nemesis fired from his position as reaper, he volunteers to take Grim and his accomplices out for a sail with his pirate crew, so that he may dispose of the former reaper. Boogey reveals that his true objective is to gain a powerful artifact called Horror's Hand, a device that make's the holder all-powerful and vastly scary. Grim and the children make their escape before Boogey can dispose of them, resulting in a competition to see who can get to Horror's Hand first. Boogey and his crew compete against Grim, Mandy, Billy, and Irwin, and are unable to make it to the hand first. When Boogey steals the Hand right after Grim gets it, he scares Grim to pieces, though Grim reassembles himself, revealing that he blew himself up on purpose. For Boogey, upon realizing that he is not scary (which is his worst fear, by the way), he is thoroughly humiliated by Grim, becoming more of a coward than ever. Since then, Boogey now lives in fear for the rest of his life. He returns in the video game version of the show, though it's unknown if he plucked the courage to join the fighting, or he got infected by a Mojo Ball, which seems more likely.
=== Lord Pain ===
''Voiced by'': [[Henry Gibson]]
Grim's servant who comes from the Plane of Eternal Suffering (he later says he is really Charles from the Plane Of Happy Ponies). He first appeared in ''House of Pain''. He was also featured in the opening sequence and ''Everything Breaks'' as Mandy's servant. He carries a mace and shield, wears a spiked helmet, and he has a red and black cape and turquoise armor. He has tattoos all over his body which originally featured Grim, but were later altered to show his devotion to Mandy. It is revealed in [[Billy & Mandy: The Wrath of the Spider Queen]], that he would tattoo anyone who would become The Grim
Reaper, that is why he tattooed Grim over his body.
=== Jack O'Lantern ===
Jack is a headless prankster with a pumpkin head. He once was a normal human in the Middle Ages from Endsville. He loved playing pranks and doing tricks all over Endsville. People of Endsville eventually got tired of his pranks, so they decided to backfire. After the queen orders Jack dead, Grim arrives to banish Jack from the real world. However, the prankster played a trick to escape death. He made a deal with Grim to stay alive forever. After granting him immortality, Grim cut his head off. Eventually, Jack had to replace his head with a pumpkin. Since that day, every year on Halloween, Jack gets revenge on the people of Endsville by playing nasty tricks on them. In the episode Billy and Mandy's Jacked Up Halloween, he planned to steal Grim's scythe and reunite his pumpkin friends and make Halloween last forever. In the Halloween Special, Jack was voiced by [[Wayne Knight]], and in the video game, he was voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]]. A picture of himself from Boogey's slideshow of people who stole Grim's scythe was shown in the movie, [[Billy and Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure]] (this picture of himself was used as his character image in the video game).

His dialogue consists of saying his name constantly and very often and saying "yes" at random times. He also seems to have a strong liking towards frozen yogurt and nachos. He talks in simple English (he also likes spelling words, particularly his own name) and appears to be very idiotic. Fred is usually a positive, good-natured character.

Li'l Porkchop is Billy's pet German fish, first seen in the episode "Li'l Porkchop". He was originally pathetically small and hardly breathing, until Grim gave him special fish food out of sympathy for Billy. The food caused him to grow many times his original size, and he began to live without water. Billy didn't realize what was going on and kept putting him into situations with exceedingly hot conditions. Billy eventually had to flush him after the heat proved too much, even though the toilet was far too small to fit him. Billy's dad managed to catch him while fishing, promptly cooking and eating him. However, he has appeared in other episodes.
=== Morg ===
Morg is the Martian Grim Reaper who came to Earth and secretly attempted to eliminate Grim. He used Martian zombies to do his biddings. Morg also terminated the other reapers from different planets of the Solar System; Mercury, Venus, Uranus, etc. The word "Uranus" makes him laugh.
