Primary characters Princess Bean
Princess Tiabeanie Mariabeanie de la Rochambeaux Grunkwitz, or Bean (voiced by Abbi Jacobson), is the drunk teenage princess of Dreamland. Bean, as the main character of the entire series, is the daughter of King Zøg and Queen Dagmar, but after Dagmar accidentally poisoned herself, Zøg married Queen Oona, who became Bean's stepmother. In the ninth episode, "To Thine Own Elf Be True", Bean must choose to either bring Dagmar or Elfo, both of whom previously died, back to life with the Eternity Pendant. Bean chooses Dagmar, which angers Elfo when he arrives in Hell and sees her decision. Dagmar orchestrates Dreamland's fall, and takes Bean on a boat to Maru, where Dagmar was from, to meet the entire family.
Bean often sneaks away to the local bar, The Flying Scepter (later renamed Luci's Inferno after Luci wins the bar in an arm-wrestling contest), to get away from her royal duties, and returns to the castle drunk. Bean calls herself "Drunkowitz" whenever she is drunk, as producer Josh Weinstein announced on Twitter after the first season was released.
At the end of the first season, Tiabeanie falls through the ground into the Catacombs, the tunnels that run under Dreamland's castle, and is met by Dagmar. In the beginning of the second season, Bean is angered at Dagmar for trying to grow close to her. She is proposed to by Alva Gunderson in part three, as Alva wants to access her magic. Bean is crowned queen after Zøg is deemed too crazy and unfit to rule the kingdom. At the very end of part 3, Bean is taken by Dagmar down to hell to marry off what appears to be Alva.
In part 4, Dagmar attempts to marry off what is revealed to be the Devil himself. During the ceremony, Bean cuts open Dagmar's palm and placed it on the paper, thus marrying off Dagmar to the Devil instead. Bean then meets up with Luci and Jerry who escape Hell together. They take the elevator directly to Alva's office in Steamland. Alva gives them his airship to go back to Dreamland. Once they get there, it is revealed that Maru annexed the kingdom. They're able to regain control of the Kingdom. Subsequently, Bean and Zøg agree to split the royalty 50/50. Bean has nightmares about "Bad Bean" who conquered Dreamland and is practically devoid of any empathy. Bad Bean comes into the regular realm and calls Dagmar, under the guise that she's the real Bean. Eventually, the two fight and the real Bean comes out of the fight victorious. Bean disguises herself as Bad Bean while Dagmar and Satan arrive via an elevator from Hell. Dagmar sees through Bean's facade, knocks her out, and throws her in the ocean, but she is saved at the last minute by Mora.
In part five, she gets into a soul bond with Mora. She also finally manages to defeat her mother and her rule of Dreamland.
The second season of the series reveals Bean to be bisexual, as is her voice actor, Abbi Jacobson, or pansexual.
Elfo Elfo (voiced by Nat Faxon) is the socially awkward and shy elf companion and, for a while, love interest of Bean, and friend of Luci. At the beginning of season one, Elfo leaves his homeland of Elfwood in search of a better, sadder life, but near the end of the season, Elfo is killed by an unknown knight (which later is discovered to be his future self), after returning to Elfwood to plead with the elves for help. In part two, Bean and Luci are able to communicate with Elfo and tell him to go down to Hell, so they can find him and bring him back to life. Their attempts succeed, and Elfo's soul is returned to his body.
Later in the season, Elfo meets legendary elf Leavo, and almost kills him for his magical blood, which possessed the abilities to bring the residents of the kingdom of Dreamland back to life after Queen Dagmar turned them all to stone, but Elfo decides that it isn't right to kill Leavo and instead Leavo aids him in convincing the elves back at Elfwood to donate their blood. In the season two episode "The Electric Princess", Elfo becomes Luci's roommate. At the end of season two, Elfo is sentenced to death after being Bean's lawyer during her trial, but falls through the ground into the Catacombs right before he is about to be burned on the stake and is met by former Queen Dagmar. At the end of part 3, he gets kidnapped by an army of ogres.
In part 4, it is revealed that his mother is an ogre, thus making him half-ogre. It is also revealed that he has a half-brother who's an ogre. He was forced to fight his brother but his brother refused to fight him.
At the end of the series in season 5, Elfo becomes King of Dreamland, alongside Queen Mop Girl Miri of Dreamland, whom they end up marrying.
Luci
"Luci" Lucille Lucifer Jr. DCLXVI, Son of Satan (voiced by Eric André) is Bean's "personal demon" as he calls himself. He is a secretly morally-good (though wanting to be evil) black imp-like creature who was sent from the mysterious kingdom of Maru, as it is revealed in part two, and he develops a close friendship with both Elfo and Bean, even going to the lengths of sacrificing his immortality to betray his fellow demons and save Elfo, who died in part one. Luci is often seen smoking, and makes witty remarks and insults in addition to eating dead birds whole.
Luci was sent from Maru by Emperor Cloyd and his sister Rebecca to spy on Bean and corrupt her to be willing to go with Dagmar and become the new queen of Maru, but Luci grows close to Bean and Elfo, developing a really deep friendship with them, and even leaves Maru for them.
At the end of part three, Luci is decapitated by a secret elevator in Dreamland and ends up in Heaven, where he is greeted by God and Jerry.
In part four, Luci manages to convince God to send Jerry back to Earth. When Jerry is sent back down to Earth, he sneaks out of Heaven through Jerry. Thanks to the trogs giving his body without a head trog juice, he gets wings.
In part five, he is revealed to be the son of Satan; in the series finale, Satan decides to cross his name out of the Book of the Dead along with that of Bean and Mora, granting them all true immortality.
King Zøg Zøg (voiced by John DiMaggio) is the overweight, hot-tempered king of Dreamland and the father of Bean and Derek. He first married Queen Dagmar, a "noble's daughter from a faraway kingdom" and had Bean, until Dagmar died of poison and Zøg remarried to Oona, a reptilian princess from Dankmire, and had Derek, Bean's half-brother. Zøg and Bean do not get along well, and he has gone so far as to try and attack her and her friends when he believes she has betrayed his kingdom. In spite of their fractured relationship, deep down they genuinely do care for each other, and become closer as the show progresses.
At the end of part one, after Zøg is betrayed by Dagmar, the entire kingdom of Dreamland is turned to stone. When Bean returns to the kingdom, Zøg thinks that she was working with Dagmar, but Bean saves him and convinces him that she was also blindsided. In part two, Zøg also befriends Prince Merkimer. After he is divorced by Oona, Zøg dates a selkie who is half bear and half woman, gets robbed by a troupe of circus elves who turn out to be trolls, and even tries to get Gout to impress a king from a faraway kingdom. After being buried alive in season two, Zøg grows mentally insane, and after a series of mere temporary solutions, he is taken away to the Twinkletown Insane Asylum in the end of the part.
In part four, King Zøg becomes a monk and shaves his head as a result. Once Maru loses control over Dreamland, he agrees to share the throne with Bean 50/50.
Queen Oona
Oona (voiced by Tress MacNeille) is Zøg's second wife and the queen of Dreamland during season one. Oona is Dankmirian, a race of humanoid reptiles, and doesn't know much about humans. In episode six, "Swamp and Circumstance", Bean, Elfo, Luci, and the rest of the team from Dreamland visit Oona's hometown of Dankmire, where Oona was class clown in school, and, in an attempt to be kind, end up being disrespectful and are chased out the city gates by the leaders of the country. Oona is also believed by Zøg to be the cause of Dreamland's fall in the end of part one instead of Dagmar.
In season two, Oona has a smaller part, and, after being thrown into the ocean by Dagmar who wants her dead, tries to warn Bean of Dagmar's betrayal. Bean does not hear her, and Oona is instead picked up by a band of pirates who are led by famed elf Leavo, who left Elfwood before Elfo and never came back. Oona convinces the pirates on the ship to be brave and actually raid other ships, and upon returning to Dreamland, she promptly divorces Zøg and sets off to captain the pirates in Leavo's absence when he decides to live in Elf Alley with the other elves. Oona returns in season two for Derek's wedding, which is eventually cancelled, and later helps Bean uncover the terrible secret about Odval's society.
Prince Derek Derek (voiced by MacNeille) is the second child of Zøg and the first son of Oona. He is a 14-year-old mix Dankmirian and Dreamlander, and often looks up to his older half-sister Bean, who brushes him off, finding him annoying. Derek has a recurring nightmare about an increasingly large skillet due to having almost been cooked on one by hillbillies to be fed to the Swamp Monster in episode six, "Swamp and Circumstance". In the end of season one, fearing Oona's wrath, Zøg locks Derek up in the highest tower in the castle to keep him safe, but then forgets about him until a few episodes later in season, in "The Very Thing", after Oona and Zøg get a divorce, they then realize that Derek has been locked in the tower all this time. They rescue him and tell them of their divorce, and he takes it rather well.
