There were several returning characters in Series 2, and some that were new to the dungeon.
Treguard, the Dungeon Master
Treguard offered advice to the teams and sometimes interacted with characters in the dungeon.
Wall Monsters
Olgarth and Granitas returned as clue room guardians. They were joined by Igneous, who occupied a new clue room.
Folly
The jester was a source of wit and good humour. He shaped the storyline of several quests.
Gretel
This maid was a regular presence in the upper levels and was rescued by one of the winning teams.
The Troll
The troll occupied a ledge in Level 1 and became hungry when dungeoneers appeared.
Lillith
An unpredictable sorceress in Level 1 who ended the quest of several hapless teams.
Mildread, the Witch
The devious crone enjoyed tricking dungeoneers, especially by impersonating someone.
Cedric
The foul-mouthed monk returned as a threatening presence at the start of Level 2.
Merlin
The intrepid wizard returned in his Level 2 room. He could also be summoned in Level 3.
Mogdred
Credited in Series 1 but not seen until Series 2; Mogdred was the dark side of Merlin's magic and was found intimidating teams in the lower levels.
Olaf
This hapless Viking sought loot and was easily persuaded to take anything a team offered.
Gumboil
A knightly guard, often drunk and disorderly, who demands a password or bribes for passage.
Bumptious
A dwarf found in the mines who ran official proceedings with dungeoneers.
Casper the Key
Casper was a large talking key that could help teams navigate the perils of Level 2.
The Gargoyle
The Level 3 creature who thought himself ugly but cheered up when complimented.
Oracle of Confusion
The Oracle was a mystical presence that delivered knowledge but without order.
To hear it speak, shut your eyes tightly, and raise the helmet slightly above your head.
