  • Prince Puppycorn: Unikitty's little brother, a pug/unicorn hybrid. He is sometimes clueless and dimwitted, but is also loyal and good-hearted.[lower-alpha 1] Voiced by Grey DeLisle.
  • Dr. Fox: A red fox who is the castle's resident scientist whose experiments and inventions can both create and resolve problems. Voiced by Kate Micucci.
  • Hawkodile: Unikitty's trusty hawk/crocodile hybrid bodyguard who has a "macho" personality and has a crush on Dr. Fox. He trained to be a fighter in the Action Forest and has a rival named Eagleator (voiced by Keith Ferguson), who was his former best friend and an eagle/alligator hybrid. Voiced by Roger Craig Smith.
  • Richard "Rick": A grey 1x3 Lego brick who is Unikitty's royal advisor and the castle's property caretaker. He speaks with a dull monotone voice and is often the voice of reason, though the others find him boring to listen to. Voiced by Roger Craig Smith.
  • Master Frown: Unikitty's archenemy who comes from Frown Town at the other side of Unikitty's kingdom. He is one of the Doom Lords that spread pain and misery throughout the world as he wants to impress the other Doom Lords.
