Characters

• Warren Patterson (voiced by Julie Lemieux in the series and voiced by Corey Sevier in the pilot episode) is the protagonist of the show, who turns into the titular blue monster whenever he sneezes after having been accidentally cursed by Gorgool's jewel.
• Tracy Patterson (voiced by Hillary Goldhar) is Warren's supportive older sister who practices witchcraft after receiving Gorgool's book.
• Johnny B. Dead (voiced by William Colgate) is a wise-cracking, trumpet-playing ghost who assists the siblings in their misadventures and secretly lives in the Pattersons' attic.

Recurring characters

• Roz and Tom Patterson (voiced by Sally Cahill and Tony Rosato) are the parents of Warren and Tracy.
• Aunt Dolores (voiced by Jayne Eastwood) is Warren and Tracy's aunt, a crabby and stuck-up but serious and well-meaning police officer and the older sister of Tom Patterson. She has a vendetta against the monster, unaware of it being her nephew.
• Billy Castleman (voiced by Daniel DeSanto) is an overweight, mean school bully who often ridicules Warren. He's hellbent on proving Warren as the monster, but is unable to do so
• Gorgool (voiced by Len Carlson) is a sorcerer and the would-be ruler of Fenrath, who is trapped in a ball. He intends to steal the Jewel of Fenrath and the Book of Spells with his servant.
• The Servant (voiced by Howard Jerome) is the dim-witted servant of Gorgool. He carries Gorgool around and follows Gorgool's every command. His real name is never mentioned.
• Wesley Whiffington III (voiced by Christopher Ralph) is a child who appears in Season Two. He is spoiled and never gets things his way. He is also interested in adult projects such as business and moviemaking.
• Miranda Bell (voiced by Alyson Court) is a girl who said she became a scientist at age six and says that her brain weighs eight pounds.
• Morgool (voiced by Len Carlson) is Gorgool's twin brother and the ruler of Fenrath. He is not trapped within a ball and is far more dangerous and evil than his twin. It is believed that Morgool is unable to control anyone who is superior to him, such as the monster, and his jealousy and greed for the throne resulted in Gorgool's confinement to the glass ball.
• Ms. Gish (voiced by Barbara Franklin) is the teacher who is involved with most episodes in Season One.
• Kragon (voiced by George Buza) is a guard working for Morgool in Fenrath. He always helps his master in his schemes, mainly trying to capture the monster. Kragon's home region is Gorem Range.
• Red (voiced by Megan Fahlenbock) is an orphan from Fenrath who becomes friends with Warren and Tracy. She is always up for adventure and kicking bad-guy butt.
• Freddie Mitchell and Corum (both voiced by Susan Roman) are friends of Warren's. Freddie loves to tell jokes and play soccer. Connor's hobbies include pogo jumping, playing the piano, and video games.
• Keebo (voiced by Hadley Kay), is a shapeshifting creature from Fenrath.
