The American animated television series Grim & Evil was created by Maxwell Atoms for Cartoon Network. It consists of two segments which were eventually spun off into their own series: The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Evil Con Carne. The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy follows two children: a dimwitted yet well meaning boy named Billy (voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz) and a brilliant yet sinister girl named Mandy (voiced by Grey DeLisle). After winning a limbo game to save Billy's pet hamster, the two gain The Grim Reaper (voiced by Greg Eagles) as their best friend for eternity and come across many supernatural or otherworldly characters and locations throughout the series. Its sister show, Evil Con Carne, follows the brain of a playboy who wants to rule the world with his general, Skarr, and his lover, Major Doctor Ghastly. Since Hector Con Carne is attached to a bear named Boskov, Hector wants to find the rest of his body parts and take over the world.

William "Billy" is a 9 year old human boy who strangely has a low IQ of 5, a sign of intellectual disability, having been outperformed by a shovel and two candy bracelets on an IQ test, though he acts like a smart aleck. He has a big, pink nose and beady, black eyes inherited from his father, Harold, and red hair inherited from his mother, Gladys. 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 far kinder to Grim than Mandy is, and while he almost always goes against the Saton's advice and uses him as a plaything, he appears to genuinely like him and 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 good natured and well behaved, he has occasional fits of stubbornness and rage, which shows insanity that even Mandy seems to fear. Billy is the most innocent character of the three, yet he ends up causing the most problems due to his irrational and often impulsive choice of actions. He has a wide curiosity which gets him into situations he often can't get himself out of without Grim and Mandy coming to his rescue. Billy is also scared of spiders, which is quite unfortunate because a huge Spider named Jeff believes that Billy is his "father". His greatest fears were combined by Horror's Hand into a monstrous clown spider mailman hybrid in the Big Boogey Adventure movie. In Underfist, the origin of his fear of spiders is shown through in a flashback. A yellow marshmallow bunny named Bun Bun used to sneak into Billy's room when he was a baby and tormented him with real spiders. This is explained by Bun Bun during the flashback so as to torment Jeffery about his problems with his dad. Billy's family is Harold (his father), Gladys (his mother), Nergal (his uncle), Aunt Sis (his aunt), Nergal Jr. (his cousin), and his grandmother, who lives in the Netherworld (for reasons unknown). He is also good friends with Lana and, occasionally, with Jollien, however his best friends are Mandy and Irwin. During the end credits of Billy & Mandy Save Christmas, Billy mentions that his family celebrates Hanukkah ("that way we gets more presents"). However, from the way Billy says it implies that they celebrate it as an excuse to get more presents suggesting that they may not actually be Jewish. After the intro, Billy is shown in front of a black screen, usually speaking to the viewers in a funny way. In 2021, Maxwell Atoms, who has Asperger syndrome himself, confirmed that Billy is autistic and likened him to "the fun and joyous inner world where [Atoms likes] to spend [his] time" in contrast to Mandy.

Amanda "Mandy" is a 9 year old human girl with a sinister, manipulative nature despite her appearance. She lives with her father, Phil, and mother, Claire. Mandy is thoroughly emotionless; however, has sometimes been touched in a few scenarios, such as at one point when Billy was thought to be dead and Mandy's reaction appeared quite nervous and partially mournful. She also possesses a strong lust for power as revealed in an episode providing insight to the future of the town of Endsville, in which Mandy has enslaved all of its citizens and evolved herself into a large, anthropomorphic being resembling a giant caterpillar (a reference to the Dune series), and Grim's abilities have helped her gain access to satisfaction of her desires. Oddly though, she keeps Billy as her companion and makes clones of him whenever he is killed accidentally due to his stupidity. Mandy has been known to domineer everybody around her without fear, and the few things that she likes include junk food, television, and all things dark and melancholy. She also does not appear to have a visible nose, which has been pointed out a few times throughout the series. Throughout the series, Mandy rarely smiles, and her facial expression remains perpetually disgruntled. Mandy smiling is shown to be the end of the world; in the episode "My Fair Mandy", after entering a local beauty contest against the queen bee of her classroom, it was revealed that all of reality would be humorously, psychedelically distorted, resulting in the series swapping premises with that of The Powerpuff Girls, another Cartoon Network animated series. Despite this, Mandy is seen to crack an evil sneer at the end of a few episodes, such as when she becomes the only person left on Earth, and after winning the contest which gave her a servant in Grim. Mandy mostly never smiles, because Maxwell Atoms' parents used to call him "the Little Russian Boy who Never Smiles", which only encouraged him to smile even less. Despite this, Mandy has smiled in some episodes, such as "Meet the Reaper", "Opposite Day", "Look Alive! ", "A Dumb Wish", "Something Stupid This Way Comes", "Tickle Me Mandy" (via title card), "Crushed", "Mandy the Merciless", "Five O Clock Shadows" (though it was only her shadow self), "My Peeps", "Test of Time", "Scythe for Sale", (almost), "Billy & Mandy Begins", "My Fair Mandy", "Billy & Mandy Save Christmas", "Heartburn", and the TV movie Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure, where she (even barely) does crack a smile. Mandy also despises Billy's best friend Irwin, who is strongly infatuated with her, and it was revealed in the Big Boogey Adventure that one of her worst nightmares would be to grow into an obese, kind woman marrying a handsome version of Irwin. Her other deepest fear was shown in the episode Heartburn where she feared losing her true heart after hearing Irwin's sad story about how he was originally born to be a really bad boy, but then experienced a change of heart after his father showed him how to love and respect other people. This caused her to seriously doubt if she could withstand a change of heart and at the thought of just losing it, caused her to scream really loudly out loud. She is also scared of an extremely angry Billy and will run from him when need be. Billy says that she never smiles in her life, which is false. In Underfist: Halloween Bash, after the Underworld invades Earth, Mandy seizes power as the new President of the United States, with Grim and Billy serving as her weapons experts, the trio rewarding Underfist for saving the world. In 2021, Maxwell Atoms, who has Asperger syndrome himself, confirmed that Mandy is autistic and likened her to "the cold, rational way [he] learned to view the world in order to survive" in contrast to Billy. 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. It is revealed in "Wrath of the Spider Queen" that Eris attended the same school as Grim, Velma, Nergal, Lord Pain, and Boogey. Grim used to have a crush on her during earlier episodes, but later changes his mind, claiming her to be a "psychopath." She is also in love with Hoss Delgado. After her rupture with Hoss, the scrapped characters Nice Eris & Naughty Eris were created. They were set to appear in the unmade Underfist: The Series. Jeff the Spider (voiced by Maxwell Atoms) is a giant anthropomorphic 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, caring, and kind, Jeff wants more than anything to gain Billy's fatherly love despite Billy's arachnophobia based fear and hatred for him. Billy frequently beats him with blunt objects. Jeff blames himself for Billy's hatred toward him and constantly tries to win his fatherly love and affection. With Mandy's help, he finally manages to scare Billy into loving him. In the episode called Spider Mandy the sickness that Billy contracts from Jeff turns Mandy into huge spider like creature and when Jeff sees her like this, he thinks that she's his mommy. The toxins that Jeff's fangs produce help to turn Mandy back into her old self. 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. The Boogeyman (voiced by Fred Willard) is the dead king of boogey men, an old arch enemy of Grim's since junior high school and a former bully. He played pranks on Grim throughout his school career (one such prank involved publicly humiliating Grim in front of the whole class by giving him a nuclear wedgie from off stage whilst Grim was reciting a scene from Hamlet; Grim never lived that incident down since everyone called him "Wedgie Shakespeare" afterwards). 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. Judge Roy Spleen (voiced by Phil LaMarr) 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. His name is a pun on legendary Old West Judge Roy Bean. Fred Fredburger (voiced by C. H. Greenblatt) is a dimwitted, pale green, bipedal furry otherworldly creature resembling an elephant with stubby horns and the tail of a devil. He is depicted as being generally idiotic, infantile, and harmless; he dwells on subjects such as his recent defecation, small facts about himself, and spelling his own name aloud. He debuted in the episode "Keeper of the Reaper" presiding on the court case between Billy and Mandy regarding the Grim Reaper's custody due to Billy's upcoming move, where he frequently disrupted the trial with his idiocy and childish behavior which was enough to make even Billy pause. He would later appear in a different episode as the winner of a competition, being rewarded with a day spent with Grim that wound up ending poorly (with Fred being cast into the arctic). Aside from this, Fred has been shown to harbor an adoration of frozen yogurt and especially nachos, and wound up overtaking the future as a powerful overlord. His catchphrase is the word, "yes" and he also has a tendency to blurt out his own name at random times, including chanting it repeatedly during the court case. Bun Bun (voiced by David Wittenberg) is a marshmallow rabbit and the main antagonist of the Halloween special Underfist: Halloween Bash. In this movie, he leads a candy army to take over the Surface with the help of Mindy in her witch form.

General Reginald Peter Skarr, or simply General Skarr, first appeared in the show Evil Con Carne, where he was Hector Con Carne's paramilitary commander. He heavily despised Hector's rule and wants to become ruler himself in many attempts. One such attempt was seen in the segment Day of the Dreadbot where he takes control of Hector's robotic army and makes a robot version of himself to follow him at all costs. However, Skarrbot betrayed him to Skarr's joy. His design is based on Fearless Leader. After "Evil Con Carne" was canceled, Skarr became a recurring character in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy as a neighbor who wants to go his own ways. He is usually a cold hearted, hateful, and harsh man, with big interests in power and world domination. He speaks in a British accent, and is blind in his left eye, and has a scar beneath it, 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 (who didn't want any competition for their attempts at world domination), he moves into Billy and Mandy's neighborhood and is constantly struggling with the temptation to return to his evil ways, his debut episodes serving as a parody of Apt Pupil. 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, he has grown facial hair.

Hoss Delgado (voiced by Diedrich Bader) is a 33 year old 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 his chainsaw hand is inspired by Ash Williams from the Evil Dead series. His name is a parody of Jose Delgado, also known as Gangbuster in the DC Comics continuity. He is madly head over heels in love with Eris.

Nigel Planter (voiced by Jake Thomas), a spoof of Harry Potter, is a boy with glasses and an L shaped scar on his forehead (revealed to be 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 (like Mandy's sabotage of rival house Gunderstank's efforts of winning the house championship). 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, later Ronnie Schell (for Order of the Peanuts)) is the headmaster of Toadblatt's School of Sorcery, and a spoof of Albus Dumbledore (and Severus Snape). Toadblatt is a large, humanoid toad wearing a purple wizard's robe. He hates Nigel Planter with a passion, and goes to various lengths to remove him from his school. 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 Harry 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. Later, in "The Order of the Peanuts", the real Lord Moldybutt reveals that he is not out to kill Nigel, but he is a real estate attorney and wishes to sign over the Planter's peanut farm left to Nigel from his dead parents. He gave Nigel an L shaped pen mark (which Nigel 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, even if said by Moldybutt himself. In consequence, people call him "he who should never ever be named". However, many characters, especially Billy, carelessly say his name with disastrous consequences. Squidhat (voiced by "Weird Al" Yankovic), A squid used by Toadblatt to allocate his new students to the school's various houses, in homage to the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter. He also appears to be a singer and guitarist. He makes his first appearance in "Toadblatt's School of Sorcery". After sending the first three students to Gunderstank, he sends Billy and Mandy (who threatens him that, should he touch her, she'll "in the mood for calamari") to Weaselthorp.

Lord Pain (voiced by Henry Gibson) is the ruler of a realm known as the Plane of Eternal Suffering. His head is covered by a spiked helmet, obscuring his eyes; and he wields a large mace and shield. He swears eternal and single minded loyalty to his chosen master, tattooing their image on his body along with anything else he feels particularly passionate about. He first appears in "House of Pain", declaring himself to be Grim's servant, and attempts to kill the kids to free Grim, but ends up taking Mandy as his new master instead. In "Everything Breaks", he brings Billy with him to the Plane of Eternal Suffering on Mandy's orders to help cure him of his destructive habits. According to Wrath of the Spider Queen, he formerly attended Junior High alongside many of the other characters.

Cerberus is Grim's pet demon dog from the Underworld (Voiced by Jess Harnell, Greg Eagles and Danny Mann), with two heads of a doberman and one of a poodle. He however has no control of him whatsoever, which often terrifies him. But as Billy and Mandy love their pets, Grim loves him.

Mr. Snuggles is Billy's elderly pet hamster (voiced by Richard Horvitz) who is seven years old ("like a jillion in hamster years", Billy claims). He is the exact reason why Grim became Billy and Mandy's friend. He appeared in the pilot, "Meet the Reaper". In one episode of the series, Mr. Snuggles saved Milkshakes, but Milkshakes eats him anyway. Near the end of that same episode, Mr. Snuggles escapes by breaking Milkshakes' teeth, followed immediately by a fourth wall break courtesy of Billy saying, "What? You didn't think we'd let Mr. Snuggles get eaten, did you?" Mr. Snuggles has brown fur and black spots on his back.

Jack O'Lantern (voiced by Wayne Knight in the series; Maurice LaMarche in the video game) is the main antagonist of "Billy & Mandy's Jacked Up Halloween". A prankster from the medieval era, the people of Endsville grew tired of his pranks and framed him for a crime, for which he was executed. When Grim came to reap his soul, he managed to steal Grim's scythe, demanding immortality in exchange for it. Grim was forced to agree, but decapitated Jack in retribution as he hated being tricked, forcing him to replace it with a pumpkin and leading to his ostracization by society, only being able to come out during Halloween night where he can blend in perfectly. Since then, Jack and Grim held a powerful grudge towards each other. In the present, Jack tricks Billy into stealing Grim's scythe for him, which he uses to bring pumpkins to life in an attempt to take over Endsville and get revenge on Grim. He is ultimately defeated on accident by Irwin before Grim banishes him to the Underworld.

Thromnambular is a talking skull who is imprisoned on Earth and must grant nine wishes in order to be free, hence the number nine on his forehead; however, his wishes come with terrible consequences. He debuts in "Wishbones" where Billy and Mandy find him in Grim's robe due to him forgetting that he was inside while it was in the washing machine. After Billy makes his wish, Thromnambular is found by various people that he grants wishes for until Grim uses his last wish that results in Billy and Mandy never finding Thromnambular in the first place, erasing the events of the episode from existence and crushing Thromnambular's chance of freedom. Grim later tries to use him to free them both, but this ends up having them switch places instead.

Wiggly Jiggly Jed is a humanoid dog that Grim created for Billy. Although they are best friends, their relationship breaks when Billy wouldn't let Jed sleep in his bed and tells him to sleep outside in a doghouse. Craving for a bed, Jed uses the powers of Grim's trunk to build a giant machine to capture the beds of all people, also planning to make a fortune with them. To stop him, Billy throws Jed a dish of primordial ooze that he got from Grim, dissolving his body and leaving behind his cap, which Billy takes.

Hector Con Carne was a billionaire Mexican playboy who wanted to dominate the world. One day, he decided to hire a mad scientist. He hired a nurse who is actually a bomb made by Cod Commando to blow up his mansion and body. Only his brain and stomach lived. Hector was surprised that he was reduced to two organs. He stayed as a brain for seven years since the explosion. Hector is very irritable towards his failed attempts to rule the world. In "The Smell of Vengeance", Hector is afraid of germs since they can kill him as a brain. Hector lives inside a jar filled with antiseptic.

Major Doctor Andedonia J. Ghastly is the lover and mad scientist of Evil Con Carne. She used to be the second assistant to Professor Death Ray Eyes and decided to apply for Hector Con Carne. She instantly fell in love with Hector for seven years. Ghastly is the most optimistic of the crew since she would rather let her love towards Hector bloom instead of helping Hector achieve his goal of world domination.

Boskov is a Russian circus bear who was owned by Vlad, the ringmaster of a Russian circus. He was picked by Major Doctor Ghastly to carry both Hector Con Carne's brain and stomach. Even though Hector's brain controls most of Boskov, he wants to eat honey and resist Hector's commands. Boskov usually gets picked on by Hector. Boskov's design is inspired by Yogi Bear in the first three seasons, and by season four, had a Stimpy esque redesign.

Stomach is the stomach of Hector Con Carne. He is very gassy and only talks when food is discussed. In the segment "Gutless", Stomach was sick and Hector left him behind so he can invade Buckingham Palace. The invasion did not work since Hector decided to help Stomach instead.

Cod Commando (speaking voice by Maxwell Atoms, Robert Picardo and singing voice in "The Pie Who Loved Me") is a cod fish who works for SPORK and is Hector Con Carne's arch nemesis, and is directly responsible for reducing him to a brain and stomach. He made his only appearance in "League of Destruction", where he and the other villains argued who should lead the League, which ultimately dissolved the faction.

Bun Bun (voiced by Dave Wittenberg) is a marshmallow bunny and the main antagonist.
