wants to make Dave's life miserable). Her mother Zonthara is the ruler of Hyrogoth, and keeps on trying to teach Irmaplotz to be more evil. Her father is good, making her half-evil. Earlier in the show, Dave and Irmaplotz fell in love over their similar reading habits, love of bad poetry, and similar allergies. However, after careful consideration, Dave ended the relationship due to Irmaplotz's desire for evil, which contradicts Dave's desire to do good.

Ned Frischman (voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz) – A nerd who works at a pants factory in the year 1994.
