green, small blobs, and whatever does get "blobbed", will begin to cause problems, often completely random. He also has an eye on a stalk that can come out of his mouth at times. The Problem Blob has had the least appearances on Numberjacks. The Numberjacks he had blobbed included Four and Six. The Numbertaker (portrayed by Ross Mullan) - The Numbertaker is male, the largest meanie, and always silent. He causes trouble by taking numbers and “numbers of things”. The sleeves of his long with coat hide various attachments – a vacuum-cleaner, a magnet, a net, a hook, and a “number sucker-upper”. There is something of a (rather sinister) street performer about him. He sometimes becomes his alter ego and the "Numbermaker", causing problems by creating numbers and numbers of things. Spooky Spoon (voiced by Rachel Preece) - Spooky Spoon is female, and loves to stir things up and mix them – she is usually the source of problems with matching and connecting. She really fancies herself, thinks herself superior to everyone around her. Very vocal, has a particular dislike for 5, whom she feels is something of a rival. When a meanie is defeated, the end of their theme song will play; this happens in most episodes, but not all of them.
