Lenny (voiced by Cory Doran) - Ben's best friend. Lenny is a mutant mantis, who is sometimes shy. But, he's also very endearing. He has the ability to shoot sticky webs.
Priscilla (voiced by Stephanie Lynn Robinson) - Ben and Lenny's best friend. Priscilla is a potion princess and the kind of friend who sees everything, due to the fact that she can take out her eyeballs. She is good at concocting magic potions.

Lord Cuddles the Fluffy (voiced by Matt Baram) - Another main antagonist. He is Princess Boo Boo's right-hand bear. He is the one who normally plans the scheme to ruin Freaktown. Don't let his cuteness and physical size fool you, he is one guy not to be messed with.
