This is a list of characters from the American animated television series The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, which was created by Maxwell Atoms, and which originally aired on Cartoon Network from June 13, 2003 to November 11, 2007.

In-universe information
Gender	Male
Occupation	Student at Endsville Elementary

Voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz. Billy is the main protagonist. He is an extremely happy-go-lucky child with an IQ of -5. He has an extremely large, pink nose, wears a blue and white striped shirt, and covers his red-orange hair with a red hat. His main affiliations are Grim and Mandy. Mandy is Billy's best friend, though she treats him more like a servant than a friend. It has been hinted several times that Billy may have underlying feelings for Mandy that even he (in his stupidity) may not fully realize. Billy is definitely kinder to Grim than Mandy is, and while he may go against the Reaper's advice and use him as a plaything, he appears to genuinely like him. Of the two children, Billy is the one who most often tells Grim that he's his "best friend".

Due to Billy's foolish desires, which he orders Grim to bring about, he is often the cause of Grim and Mandy's mishaps. Although generally good-natured, he has occasional fits of stubbornness, violence, and rage, which shows insanity that even Mandy seems to fear. It is suggested that while Billy is the most innocent character of the three, he ends up causing the most problems due to his irrational and often impulsive choice of actions. Billy is terrified of clowns to the point of having recurring nightmares about them, although eventually, due to an encounter with his inner frat boy, his fear is transformed into a psychotic loathing and hate for them. He is also scared of the mailman and spiders, which is quite unfortunate because he is Jeff's father.

Billy's family is Harold (his father), Gladys (his mother), Nergal (his uncle) Aunt Sis (his aunt), Nergal Jr. (his cousin), Jeff the Spider (his son), DeUglio (his brother) and his grandma, who lives in the Netherworld (for reasons unknown). He is also very good friends with Irwin and, occasionally, with Pud'n.

Mandy

Mandy
First appearance	"Meet the Reaper"
Last appearance	"Underfist: Halloween Bash"
IQ	157
In-universe information
Gender	Female
Occupation	Student at Endsville Elementary
Relatives	Phil (father), Claire (mother)
Nationality	American

Voiced by Grey DeLisle

Mandy (mostly) has a morbid attitude and she is the main deuteragonist. However, unlike Billy, she is more stable, sane, and intelligent. She'll punch or otherwise injure (physically, emotionally, mentally, or any combination of the three) anyone who gets in her way. She is Billy's "best friend" regardless of the awful way she treats him. She is known for rarely smiling, the result of which made reality fall apart. She orders Grim and Billy to do chores for her, among a slough of other grunt work. She is naturally hostile and cynical, and is shown in one episode to have physical difficulty saying the word "please."

Billy and Mandy are best friends, although the true nature of their relationship is somewhat enigmatic. At first glance, Mandy appears to have a relationship with Billy much akin to a master and slave. They met when they were very young; Billy had stuck an ice cream cone on her face, for which she then punched him. She constantly berates and embarrasses him for his absurd ways. While she will often go entirely out of her way to save him whenever he is in danger, she will always have an excuse for it, convincingly that it's all for her own benefit. She has also allowed Billy to engage in physical contact with her on numerous occasions without reprimanding him; for example, he has licked her many times, also hugged her, and even kissed her. She fears Billy's deranged dark side, having herself acknowledged that Billy is dangerous when angered. While often cold and acerbic, she has also showed a possible soft spot for Billy.

Mandy uses and exploits Grim as her own personal supernatural slave. Often, she abuses his powers for her own selfish purposes. While she is distant and not on what could be considered friendly terms with the Reaper, it can be inferred that they share a cold connection to one another. Often, they agree with each other when it comes to more morbid topics, and seem to somewhat enjoy each others' company. Mandy originally became Grim's friend and master through a game of limbo, wherein she proposed that if he won, he would get Billy's pet hamster Mr. Snuggles and Billy; but if she won, he would be their best friend forever.

The Grim Reaper

The Grim Reaper
First appearance	"Meet the Reaper"
Last appearance	"Underfist: Halloween Bash"
In-universe information
Nickname	Grim, George, Grimey, Grimuel, Mr. Grim, Mr. Reaper, Bonehead, Loser Bag of Bones, "Grimmy" (when younger)
Gender	Male
Title	Death
Occupation	The Reaper of Souls
Relatives	Miriam (mother), Earl (father), Kali (great aunt), Granny Grim (grandmother)

Voiced by Greg Eagles

Grim is over 137,000 years old (as his early childhood took place during the Stone Age) and speaks with a Jamaican accent. The continuity of how Grim got his reaper status and powers jumps around quite a few times and it is unknown which way he really got his powers. For example in The Spider Queen he was elected to his position as the Grim Reaper while he was in middle school; however, in A Grim Prophecy, it is shown that he was the Grim Reaper since his childhood with his parents forcing him to be the Reaper. His scythe is the source of his powers and possesses many magical qualities; although he is still capable of using magic without it, these instances are quite rare.

By losing a limbo contest to Billy and Mandy, Grim is fated to be their "best friend" forever. Unfortunately for the Reaper, the contract legally binds him to them, such that if he ever did leave, he would spend eternity in Underworld Jail (to his terror) as a result of it. Though Billy is friendly towards him, Mandy treats him dominantly, and this angers and irritates him to the point where he constantly fantasizes about killing both of them. However, there have been instances that show that he does indeed care for them. He is often forced to do their chores and create supernatural fun for them. Grim is slowly adapting to modern life, and is usually seen, in his free time, watching television, mainly horror movies or soap operas. His adaption to everyday life also leads him to neglect his duties, and eventually not even care about who uses his scythe seeing as how it is constantly stolen. He also has a bottomless trunk, where all types of dark objects are found; Billy usually abuses them, creating chaos and destruction.

His love-and-hate relationship with Billy and Mandy seems to vary from each-other. He seems to be more annoyed with Billy than Mandy, due to his stupidity. Although Billy abuses Grim's powers as much as Mandy, Billy treats Grim with much more fairness and kindness, resulting in Grim caring and liking Billy. In Mandy's case, although they both share the same cynical and misanthropic view of humanity, Grim tends to dislike her more than Billy due to her abuse, cruel and disrespectful actions towards him. While Grim fears Mandy (like all the others characters), he has the power to openly rebel against her when she becomes too obnoxious and abusive.

Recurring characters

Irwin

Voiced by Vanessa Marshall

Irwin is Billy's nerdy friend, who desperately aspires to be popular and frequently ends sentences with the word "yo". He is one-fourth vampire, half mummy and one-fourth human, with his paternal grandfather being Dracula and his mother being a mummy. He has an unhealthy crush on Mandy and longs to gain her affection, often stalking her, but is usually turned down or threatened by her as a response to his actions. His love for Mandy is one where he admires her toughness. Mandy tolerates Irwin and will often let him down when he tries to get too personal with her. She is in favor of Irwin realizing his status in life and embracing it. He admits that he likes who she is due to him having a dark side much like Mandy's, but was taught otherwise by his father and eventually grew out of his bad behavior.

Grandmama

Voiced by Phil LaMarr

Grandmama (her real name being Tanya) is Irwin's grandmother and Dick's mother.(Dick is Irwin's daddy) She usually ends sentences with "baby", as Irwin does with "yo", and his father with "dude", which seems to be suggesting a family trait. She is also Dracula's wife. 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. She seems to have grown up in the dozens, as she has a mastery of "yo mama" jokes.

Richard "Dick"

Voiced by Phil LaMarr

Dick is Irwin's father, who is a middle-aged dhampir (his mother Tanya being a human, and his father being the vampire Dracula), but he is never referred to as one. Dick ends a lot of his sentences with the word "dude". He is married to a mummy named Judy, who is Irwin's mother. Irwin's father insists that their unusual pairing leaves "a lot of questions that don't need to be answered." Dick is also known for having a 1970's taste in style and sometimes gives Irwin really bad dating and attracting girls advice, although he does so out of good intentions.

Harold

Voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz

Harold, is Billy's father and Gladys's husband and an overweight man with a large, bulbous nose and a lofty black pompadour, which is discovered to house his brain. Harold resembles his son in appearance and personality, sometimes displaying even more stupidity than Billy himself. Harold's employment is unknown and varies from episode to episode (he reveals in one episode that he gets fired all the time, for even the smallest of dumb acts). Despite his low IQ, Harold was accepted in Harvard and was a former Navy Seal. Harold is also known to be afraid of Santa Claus. Harold was much smarter in the first season Grim & Evil.

Gladys

Voiced by Jennifer Hale

Billy's mother and Harold's wife is a loving, tolerant, and patient, yet mentally unstable woman brought on by having to deal with her family, and Grim as an eternal guest. Gladys has red hair and is usually seen wearing a floor-length, lavender dress. She considers Grim a constant threat to her son's safety. In multiple instances, Gladys is seen attacking Grim to protect her son. She has a severe facial tic, which usually appears when Billy is misbehaving, when her authority is challenged, or whenever Grim is present, and has also developed nervous breakdowns. Despite so, Gladys cares deeply for Billy and Harold, although when Harold gets fired for doing something so stupid or whenever Billy is really disobeying her or acting up, she does have large outbursts of rage. She wants Billy to grow up to be a chiropractor, even though she knows that is very unlikely to happen. She is prone to small fits of insanity and obsessive-compulsive episodes. Because of all of the stress caused by Billy, Harold, Grim and, to a lesser extent, Mandy, in her everyday-life, Gladys is the only character in the series to demonstrate having more control over herself when Mandy uses her own will power.

Belinda "Mindy"

Voiced by Rachael MacFarlane

Mindy is a obnoxious girl that is obsessed with proving her worth to Mandy, who doesn't care for her. She considers herself superior to her classmates. Her father buys her outrageous gifts, and it's implied that her mom either doesn't love her or is estranged. Mindy is red-haired and freckled and she describes herself as "much prettier" than Mandy. She frequently calls her classmates "losers." Despite her supposed hatred for Mandy, she envies her wit and adventures with Grim and Billy. She's always seen in her school clothes, even when out of school.

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 other kids is by administering his lethal wedgies. Despite his physical strength, he is frightened of Mandy because of her toughness and cynical attitude. On his shoulder, he has a heart tattoo that says "Mom". Sperg tends to be very emotionally sensitive, though he tends to keep this side of him under wraps. He has dreams of moving to New York City and having a career on Broadway when he grows up.

Philiph "Phil"

Voiced by Dee Bradley Baker

Phil is Mandy's father. Like Claire, he is very afraid of Mandy and she seems to have a mental control over him. He and Claire are the only known relatives that Mandy has. He wears a white shirt, dark-yellow glasses and grey pants. Not much else is known about him because he does not appear in the series often. In Keeper Of The Reaper, he did state in court that when Mandy was born wolves came and tried to take her as their own,-but he sometimes wonders if they were right to stop them.

Claire

Claire is Mandy's mother. She, like her husband, is also terrified of her daughter and does not appear that much in the series. She wears a red-striped sweater and gray pants. In a few early episodes however, Claire is seen giving orders to Mandy whenever the house gets dirty and in Keeper Of The Reaper is seen trying to love Mandy after she was born and admits that she and her husband love Mandy very much.

General Reginald Peter Skarr

Voiced by Armin Shimerman

General Skarr first appeared in the show Evil Con Carne, where he was Hector Con Carne's paramilitary commander. He is usually a cold-hearted, hateful, and harsh man, with big interests in power and world domination. He is missing an eye and has a scar on his face, giving Billy the assumption that he is a pirate. Retired from villainy, due to Evil Con Carne being bought out by a big entertainment corporation, he moves into Billy and Mandy's neighborhood and is constantly struggling with the temptation to return to his evil ways. He attempts to distract himself and channel his hunger for power, usually by gardening. Whilst 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. In Underfist: Halloween Bash, which takes place a year later after the series ended, he has grown facial hair. General Skarr's appearance is based on that of SS Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny.

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 sometimes the instigator of some trauma. He is a red-headed, freckled boy with buck teeth, and a hoodie. Supposedly, he has no parents, but was raised by wolves. However, lives in a house and is a next-door neighbor and good friend of Billy. Pud'n loves dolls, bunnies, and flowers. At times, Pud'n can also be a terrifying force and show his dark side. Pud'n shows a fear of toilets and became even more scared when discovered Grim's bones in one. He has also been known to have an allergy to pies, which causes his face to swell up.

Eleanor Butterbean

Voiced by Renee Raudman

Ms. Eleanor Butterbean is Billy and Mandy's uncaring teacher. She often takes naps in class on her desk and detests her job as a teacher. While she is mean to everyone, in a few episodes, she is slightly more sensitive, as one time she changes Billy's F to an A causing the universe to turn inside out, causing her to act like this alter ego of hers.

Principal Goodvibes

Voiced by Chris Cox

Principal Goodvibes is the Paul Lynde-esqe principal of Billy and Mandy's school. His name was legally changed to Goodvibes, and he makes sure that his students feel good to the point of absurdity. It is later revealed in one episode that he sleeps in his car.

Hoss Delgado

Voiced by Diedrich Bader

Hoss is a spectral exterminator; a hunter of paranormal creatures. He possesses one real hand and a mechanical one, the latter of which can seemingly produce any tool he desires, most commonly a metal fist or a chainsaw-launching crossbow. He is the take-no-prisoner figure from the show, though in most episodes he acts in a clumsy and/or goofy manner. For a while he dated Eris, and their relationship was very dysfunctional. 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 exclamatory phrases which are different, but recognizable from their original form. In his first appearances he distrusts Grim, but this dissipates as the series progresses. He resembles Kurt Russell's character Snake Plissken from Escape from New York, and is an obvious parody of Ash Williams from the Evil Dead Trilogy. His name is a parody of Jose Delgado, also known as Gangbuster is the DC Comics continuity.

Jeffery "Jeff" the Spider

Voiced by Maxwell Atoms

Jeff is a giant spider who thinks Billy is his father. When Billy opens Grim's magical trunk one day, he finds an egg, which he incubates himself and raises. When it hatches, Jeff appears and believes Billy is his father. Unfailingly friendly, Jeff wants more than anything to gain Billy's love despite Billy's arachnophobia-based hate for him. Billy frequently beats him with blunt objects. Jeff blames himself for Billy's hatred toward him and constantly tries to win his love. With Mandy's help, he finally manages to scare Billy into loving him. At one point, Jeff rejects Billy when he refuses to love his "son", but it just turns out the spider was possessed by a cow-spider demon. Jeff was engaged to Grim's ex-Best Friend Velma Green the Spider Queen in "Billy and Mandy: Wrath of the Spider Queen".

He dances like a fat lady dances on a hot day! :D

Minor characters

Nergal

Voiced by David Warner (seasons 1-2), Martin Jarvis (seasons 2+)

Nergal is a mutant creature who lives in the center of the Earth. He is an all-black supernatural being with green eyes and wears a business suit. With the ability to shapeshift he can create several tentacles from his back that can electrocute his victims or turn them into beings looking like himself. What Nergal desires most is having friends, once stating that it is quite lonely in the center of the world. He is generally considered something of a loser and he often becomes histrionic over his failings. In his first appearances, Nergal was one of the main enemies of Billy, Mandy, and Grim, but now as a member of Billy's family because he married Billy's Aunt Sis, he is a friend of them and Billy's uncle, by marriage.

Aunt Sis

Voiced by Grey DeLisle

Aunt Sis is Harold's sister, Glady's Sister-in-Law, Billy's aunt, Nergal's wife, and Nergal Jr.'s mother. She is a sullen-looking woman with glasses, a large nose, and a hairstyle similar to Gladys. She is a spinster who had experienced four-and-a-half-minutes of love in her "pathetic, lonely life" before finally finding her match in the equally-lonely demon Nergal. Despite the fact that she is related to Billy: her nose is not pink like Billy's or his dad's.

Nergal, Jr.

Voiced by Debi Derryberry

Nergal Junior is the son of Nergal and Billy's aunt Sis. He is also Billy's first cousin. He looks more like his father than his mother. Like his father, 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 first came to the surface. When he takes another shape, he keeps his lime eyes, glasses, green tongue, and sharp, yellow teeth. It is revealed in the episode "Son of Nergal" that his true form resembled a hideous black octopus, which is rather blobbish in shape. Like his father, he is lonely and can't find friends, and because of his desperation, he developed evil tendencies and terrorizes everyone who stands in his way, except for Billy and Mandy. An example of this is the fact that he captures Sperg and made him his "pet", and sticking his teacher to the ceiling. However, he does form a close friendship with Billy, Mandy, and Irwin later in the series, and even showed a little affection towards Mandy and asking her to the school dance.

Eris

Voiced by Rachael MacFarlane

Eris is the Goddess of Chaos, here portrayed as a curvaceous and beautiful, but vindictive, blonde woman with a 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 (Billy calls it a magic banana). Her accent and behavior are prone to sudden shifts, from a stereotypical valley girl to a refined British woman, parodying Madonna's change in image over the years. Eris appears in "Wrath of the Spider Queen", attending the same school as Grim, Velma, Nergal, Lord Pain, and Boogey. Grim is also revealed to have a crush on her during earlier episodes, but later changes his mind, claiming her to be a "psychopath."

Boogey Man

Voiced by Fred Willard

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. Boogey is, in fact, the Boogeyman himself, and can shapeshift in order to scare people. Boogey is Grim's rival in scaring people, but usually fails in doing so. Being constantly frustrated by his inability to scare modern-day children (he blames cartoons, video games and for some reason, the tuba), Boogey visits Grim in the episode Bully Boogie. Mandy suggests a challenge of a scaring contest, which Boogey promptly loses, and is banished to the Pit of Terror/Nightmare Realm. Ironically, it is the same dimension to which he sent Billy, one filled with spiny plants and a creature similar to the plants.

The Boogey Man is prominently featured as the main villain in the television movie 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 in order to dispose of the former reaper. In the end, he discovers that he is not scary at all and becomes afraid of everything himself. He has not been seen since, due to his newly developed extreme paranoia.

The Boogey Man later appears in the flashbacks of "Wrath of the Spider Queen." He attempts to cheat in the Grim Reaper election by stuffing the ballot box, but Grim catches him and tries to undo what he's done. Velma then finds Grim with the ballot box, assumes that he is trying to cheat and runs away in tears. Angry at Boogey, Grim grabs the scythe and attacks him in a horrifying display. This prompts everyone else in the school that hadn't already voted to support Grim, meaning that Boogey was inadvertently responsible for him becoming the Grim Reaper.

Fred Fredburger

Voiced by C. H. Greenblatt

Fred is an oaf-like, oblivious, but very lovable green elephant-like creature with small horns and a love of nachos and frozen yogurt. He lives in the Underworld and is known to be Grim's biggest fan. He first appeared in the episode "Keeper of the Reaper". His dialogue consists mainly of saying his name constantly, spelling it, and saying "yes" at random times, usually at the end or near the beginning of a sentence, or to answer a question (yes/no questions and otherwise). Most of the time he is an annoyance to the other characters, especially Grim and Judge Roy Spleen. He speaks in simple English, and likes to spell his own name in letters, usually having trouble when he gets to the "G". He was also one of the characters in the Cartoon Network Yes! campaign with part of the name of it being derived from one of his most common phrases, "Yes". He can be seen in the episodes, "Keeper of the Reaper" and "Be a-Fred, be very a-Fred!", the movie, "Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure" and in the Billy & Mandy spin-off special, "Underfist". Fred Fredburger looked smaller in Underfist.

Judge Roy Spleen

Voiced by Phil LaMarr

Judge Roy Spleen is the judge of the Underworld Court. He and the whole Underworld Court first appeared briefly in the episode "Home of the Ancients", but had a greater role in the episode "Keeper of the Reaper". He is also seen in Billy & Mandy: Wrath of the Spider Queen as Grim's school teacher and officiated Jeff's wedding in the same film. He hates Fred Fredburger, who pestered him constantly during "Keeper of the Reaper". He also was the court judge in Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure. He, in "Keeper", paternally allowed both Billy and Mandy have Grim on the condition that Billy doesn't leave his house for one week.

Nigel Planter

Voiced by Jake Thomas

A spoof of Harry Potter, Nigel Planter is a boy with glasses and an "L"-shaped scar on his forehead (it was later revealed to be nothing more than a pen mark). He's a young whiny wizard from Weaselthorpe House at Toadblatt's School of Sorcery. He is often overconfident and holds a deluded self image, often taking credit for things he did not do. Later in the series, it is implied that he holds mild romantic affections for Mandy. In the episode Order of the Peanuts, it was stated that Nigel was the last heir to the Planters Peanuts Company, giving an explanation to his terrible track record as a wizard.

Dean Toadblatt

Voiced by John Vernon and Ronnie Schell (for Order of the Peanuts)

Dean Toadblatt is the headmaster of Toadblatt's School of Sorcery. Toadblatt is a large, humanoid toad wearing a purple wizard's robe. He hates Nigel Planter with a passion. After John Vernon's passing, Toadblatt's voice and entire character design was entirely changed for the next cartoon. Only one character noticed the change, and was dragged away to an unknown end. This was a parody of the fact that two actors portrayed Albus Dumbledore in the Potter films (when Richard Harris died, the role went to Michael Gambon).

Lord Moldybutt

Voiced by John Kassir

A spoof of Harry Potter villain, Lord Voldemort. He is first mentioned in "The Chamber Pot of Secrets", and is believed to be out to kill Nigel. At the end of the episode it is revealed that it was Toadblatt in disguise who wanted to get rid of Nigel and was then arrested. He gave Nigel an L-shaped pen mark (which he thought to be a scar) when he was young, referring to Harry Potter's lightning scar. Saying Lord Moldybutt's name causes things to break. In consequence, people call him "he-who-should-never-ever-be-named". He actually is just a real-estate agent who has been trying to inform Nigel Planter to his heirship to the Planters Peanut Company.
