Story

In the time of Dofus, an ogre named Ogrest managed to get all 6 Dofus eggs for the sake of someone he loved. However, she was interested only in the eggs, and Ogrest killed her in a fit of rage. Later realizing what he'd done, he climbed to a mountaintop and cried for 1000 years. This brings us to the time of WAKFU. Now the "goal" is to defeat Ogrest, but, like Dofus, this is not necessary.

Ruel wields a gold-plated shovel for a weapon.

Junior

A strange pig-like mole creature called a Phorror, which are said to be usual pets of Enutrofs. At first when it started to tag along, Ruel would do everything he could to drive it away, despite it wanting to be with him. It is later revealed it is because after the death of his first Phorror, he did not wish to have another one. It isn't until it saves Ruel from a Saddia prison that Ruel starts to shown a liking to it and now is regularly by his side. Ruel later teaches him how to identify minerals through tasting rocks and tracking.

 unnecessary. Though at first she shows no attraction to Tristepin at the beginning and immune to his constant flirting, it is obvious he is starting to grow on her, yet she constantly denies such feelings exist.

Adamaï (Voiced by Dorothee Pousseo)

Grufon agreed and has since then been more agreeable to show the proper way.

Sadida

Amalia's Mother

Armand (Voiced by Cedric Dumond)

Amalia's Brother and acting ruler of the Sadida while the king is away. He is a very arrogant man, clearly seen when he called his people's requests "whining" and believed the warning about Nox from his sister was nothing but her own imagination and discarded it without a thought, causing Amalia to run out crying. He believes his sister to be a flake as she deserted her people and duty as a princess for her adventurous lifestyle. He has an obvious attraction to Evangelyne, something that creeps her out and causes Tristepin to become jealous. Armand also appears to have a racist view towards iops, often insulting them. He is known to have very bad breath, a subject he is very touchy about, though is well known to the Sadida. Despite all this however, it is shown he truly does care for his little sister, and was the one who calmed their father to allow Amelia to start her adventure, as well as became depressed when they lost her trail.

 [English])

Yugo's adoptive father, who found him as a baby when Grougaloragran left him at the beginning of the series. He is also the town mayor and a chef, who runs an inn (though he often burns the food, leaving Yugo in charge of the cooking). After taking the young boy under his care, Alibert is also engrained a magical message through his eyes regarding Yugo's past. He raises Yugo for 12 years, training him as an assistant chef at the inn's restaurant, until the day their hometown comes under attack by a mysterious enemy and Yugo's past must be revealed.

Grougaloragran (Voiced by Benoit Allemane)

A mysterious old man who cares for the infantile Yugo and later must hide him from the dangerous Nox. He is incredibly strong with the ability to breathe fire. Nox on their first battle stated he was a dragon, where in episode 17 it is revealed he is a powerful dragon in human form. He also has the powers to see into people's souls, which is why he picked Alibert for Yugo's father, as he saw he would be the perfect father.

Kabrok & Miranda (Voiced by Richard Darbois & Claire Buyot)

Kabrok is an Osamoda adventurer from days long past, who eventually found his true love in the form of an Ecaflip named Miranda.

However, Kabrok began to grow bored of his new life while Miranda forbids him adventuring, so he donned the guise of a villain called "The Black Raven" and has a ball of a time torturing a nearby village and destroying his competitors' shops in the process. He also dislikes Ruel as he often hits on his wife. Miranda is a strict saleswoman who will even put customers through a test so as to not deal with looky-loos. She sees everything has a price, despite her husband claiming it being priceless. She also has a strange habit of yelling for her husband, even if he is standing next to her. Despite this, she does show she loves him, as she forbid him from adventuring because she sees herself as his ultimate adventure, but in the end allows him to so as to at least restock their rare supply. They later return as the only supporters during the Brotherhood of Tofu's game. In the season finally credits, it is shown they are expecting a child.

Two races of creatures, the Puddlings being tiny gelatonous beings that lack courage, while the Bullies are bovine-like monsters that plague the Puddlings by stealing their food with brute force.

Eventually, Yugo takes on the Bully leader and defeats him, sending the whole stampede packing.

Joris

A small mysterious man who's face is hidden by his hood. He is a representative of the King of Bonta who came to discuss matters with Armand, who simply brushed him off. He is also very strong, wielding a hammer almost as tall as him and taking out a team of Sadida guards all on his own, as well as defeating (a damaged) Razortime very quickly. Judging by his appearance, he appears to be of the Masquerade class as seen in both Dofus and Wakfu games.

Main

Nox (Voiced by Benjamin Pascal)

The main villain of the series. A Xelor with twisted and obsessive motives, constantly pursuing Grougaloragran on his travels, as well as constantly searching for sources of Wakfu to absorb. Nox proves to be a dangerous enemy and often speaks with an insane-sounding giggle at the end of each sentence. He needs a large source of Wakfu to control an item known as the Eliacube, which in his insanity, he believes is alive, and that it speaks to him, and to do so he needed Grougaloragran's large source of Wakfu and now has his eye set on the Tree of Life. However, by killing the Tree of Life, will wipe out the entire Sadida race. He plans to use the Wakfu to go back in time and undo a wrong that he has done, where because of this he sees everything he does at this present time as reversible and doesn't hesitate to kill anyone in his way. He also appears to have had a family at one time. At the end, despite absorbing Wakfu for 200 years he managed to go back in time only 20 minutes, where he falls to his knees and cries at the fact he will never be able to save his family. His last words are a farewell to Yugo before teleporting away, where no longer supported by the Elicube, his body withers to dust by his family's grave. His past was revealed in an anime special, where he used to be a kind well muscular father figure named Noximilien Coxen with a flair for inventing and worked as a Horologist. He was a good father and loved his wife and kids more than anything, but was depressed at the fact he could not provide financially for his family, often having to negotiate with a man over his debt. While playing with his family on the beach, Igole got away and found a cave that held the Elicube. He takes it to his workshop and tinkers with it, amazed at the possibilities it can grant, but later becomes obsessed with researching the cube to the point he forsakes everything else. His health deteriorates and he hints that he no longer sleeps

Insomnia

Insomnia is most often defined by an individual's report of sleeping difficulties. While the term is sometimes used in sleep literature to describe a disorder demonstrated by polysomnographic evidence of disturbed sleep, insomnia is often defined as a positive response to either of two questions:...

; these serve to degrade his body to a skeletal state. His family also leaves him; by the time he leaves his workshop to present his work to his wife, his home is shown to be barren and dilapidated, and a note shows that his wife has moved to live with her sister, telling him to come join them if he's ever ready. Before he receives the chance, he is told they have perished in a flood in their new home. In a desperate state, he plunges deeper into his research, seeking a means to turn back time and correct his mistake. This obsession drives him increasingly insane, eventually creating the main antagonist seen in the Wakfu series. With his past revealed, becomes more of a sympathetic villain.

Marama, Frisco and Tartufo (I, II and III)

Three of Nox's minions, first seen during his fight with Grougaloragran. Their exact nature is unknown, but they appear to be a mummified Cra, Feca, and Sacrier, and possess most of those classes' respective powers.

Weedkilios

Nox's minion, and a Sadida analog to I, II, and III. His appearance is very different, being that of a dead and decayed Sadida. His eyes are sunken and lifeless, his limbs are emaciated, and his upper body appears to be supported only by a black, spine-like structure. Much of his apparent bulk seems to come from his wood armor.

XII Razortime

Appears to be a large, boxy clockwork robot created by Nox, and one of his most powerful weapons. Before being confronted by the main characters, it devastated a large section of the Sadidas' forest with its "stasis blasts."

Igole

A hyena

Hyena

Hyenas or Hyaenas are the animals of the family Hyaenidae of suborder feliforms of the Carnivora. It is the fourth smallest biological family in the Carnivora , and one of the smallest in the mammalia...

-like Bow Wow (species of dog in that world) that served Nox. Igole can travel at extremely fast speeds (most likely given to him by his control collar) and has the ability to run on water to get from island to island when traveling over-sea. He can also inhale so deeply that he creates a vacuum. It is revealed Igole was previously a pet owned by a little girl who is later revealed to have been Nox's daughter, but what happened to that girl is not revealed. A little girl named Lotie that resembled her caused Igole to change his ways, and soon he was freed from Nox's control and now lives with her. She also calls him CrazyEyes. In the anime rendering of the prequel he was drawn as a dog. This is because Igole is a Bow Wow by species, a type of dog analogue in the Wakfu universe.

ShuShus

Rushu

The king of all Shushus. A fiery demon, he is in another world, one that has mostly been destroyed down to rock and ash. He is looking for a way to enter the world of light and life so that he and his demons can keep destroying things.

Anathar

A Shushu with the power to copy the ability of anyone he touches. Originally a bound shushu, he was released by his guardian and refused to be unsummoned. After being freed by the Brotherhood of Tofu, Remington releases him to distract the heroes; he quickly realizes this is a bad idea. Yugo uses his portal magic to attack Anathar, which he is then able to use much more powerfully than Yugo, such as generating a hundred portals at once. He is so powerful, he even opened up a portal into the Shushu realm. Through his actions, it would seem this power has a time limit for how long he can use it.

Ombrage

A Shushu imprisoned in a ring, she has the power to steal a person's shadow, which turns them into a ghoul. However, she is unable to do this if the target lacks any darkness in their heart. She is first met in a ruined town, where she has taken over her guardian's spirit, who goes by the name Vampyro. After being defeated, her guardian swears never to fall for her tricks again.

She returns in season 2 as an ally of Rubilax. Once Sadlygrove is returned to his body, though, she is left behind, ignored by her guardian. However, someone else has picked her up...

Other

Vampyro

Formerly a Shushu Guardian named Wagnar, he fell in love with a demon named Ombrage, who was sealed in a magic ring. Wagnar wore the ring that Ombrage was trapped in and her demonic powers transformed the guardian into "Vampyro", causing him to steal the souls of the townspeople to form an army of ghouls. When Yugo's team visits Katrepat town, Vampyro ambushes them with this army of ghouls and kidnaps Evangelyne in order to give Ombrage a body to inhabit. When transformed into Vampyro, he has an unfortunate allergy to Tofus, which eventually becomes his undoing. Afterwards he realized she was merely using him, and swore to never fall for her trickery again.

Ombrage returns in Season 2, now wielded by Rubilax in Sadlygrove's body.

Breadnought (Voiced by Elisabeth Fargeot)

A mysterious old Enutrof who seeks to ruin Xav the Baker's chances at winning the Chtibrout Baker's Tournament by destroying his golden wheat storage. She wreaks havoc on the village while riding atop a golem made of giant pieces of bread. Yugo takes on Breadnought and nearly wins, but she escapes before he claims victory. At the climax of the Baker's tournament, the Breadnought is revealed to be Xav's father's assistant, also known as Chouquette, who wanted her master to win the contest as she was in love with him.

Gonnard the Great (Voiced by Serge Faliu)

A supposed herald

Herald

A herald, or, more correctly, a herald of arms, is an officer of arms, ranking between pursuivant and king of arms. The title is often applied erroneously to all officers of arms....

who visits Yugo and his friends during their stay at Xav the Baker's home, informing them of a gold-robbery crime wave. Gonnard displays a herald's knowledge, seeming to know much about their adventures up to the point that he makes contact with them, but turns out to be an absorbent genie, whose body's substance becomes whatever he eats, and was responsible for the crimes. He is defeated when Ruel tricks him into eating chocolate coins.

Remington (Voiced by David Kruger)

The first villain of Season 2, he is a collector of Shushu and is able to wield many of them without losing control over them. He is extremely sly and cunning, always trying to gain the upper hand through deceptive means and likes to play dirty. His deceptiveness sometimes becomes his own undoing; during a fight with Evangelyne over the possession of Grovy -- who was trapped in Rubilax's sword body -- he falls off the edge of a building, hanging upside down at the end of a rope. He promises Eva that he won't trick her if she saves him, however, when he gets to the ledge, he tries to kill her with a sword Shushu. Eva dodges the attack, and Remington ends up destroying the ledge he was hanging onto and plummets to his apparent death. However, it is revealed that he did survive the fall in Episode 8 of Season 2. He meets Eva again in a prison where he releases an extremely powerful Shushu named Anathar. Later on, he, Sadlygrove and Yugo are taken to the Shushu world. He is left behind while the others escape so he could save his brother, Grany.

Grany

A talking Beowmeow (similar to a cat) that Remington calls his brother, despite Ruel finds odd. He is as sly and cunning as his brother, and like him not above using a double cross to get their way. Despite this however, both brothers are shown to care about one another, as Remington chose to stay behind in the Shushu world to save him.
