| Dragon | |
|---|---|
| Shrek character | |
| Gender | Female |
| Type | Dragon |
| Spouse | Donkey (husband) |
| Other Family | Donkey Jr. Coco Bananas Peanut Parfait Debbie/Eclair (children) |
Dragon resembles most classical interpretations of European dragons. She has keeled, ruby-colored scales, leathery bat-like wings, long crested ears, bony spikes along her jawline, a row of dorsal spines, slitted eye pupils, and a long, spade-tipped, prehensile tail to aid in counterbalance. Dragon does not speak, but does employ physically expressive body language to communicate. Like her mate Donkey, Dragon is never given a proper name in the films.
In the first film, Dragon had the task of guarding Princess Fiona in her isolated castle. The number of charred skeletons clearly visible indicates her success in this endeavor. While Shrek attempted to rescue the princess, Donkey found himself at the mercy of Dragon. Upon learning that his captor is female (due to stereotypical feminine features like long eyelashes and facial markings that look much like human cosmetics) Donkey began spouting flattery in order to distract her. Dragon then became infatuated with the smooth talker, despite the fact that her love was unrequited. As a result, she picks him up in her teeth and carries him to her chambers, where she wraps him in her tail and flirts with him. Shrek soon comes back to "save his ass" (a pun referring to Donkey), and the trio escape from Dragon's castle, leaving a chained and miserable dragoness in their wake. The lonely Dragon guardian is not seen again until later in the film, having escaped and abandoned Fiona's volcanic keep. She and Donkey since made amends, and aided Shrek in his quest to save and stop Fiona from marrying Lord Farquaad. Dragon disposed of the villainous Lord Farquaad by swallowing him.
In Shrek 2, Dragon is absent for much of the film but becomes one of Shrek's best friends prior to the events of the film. Donkey claims at the film's beginning that she had been "all moody and stuff" recently, explaining his unannounced arrival at Shrek's swamp. Nevertheless, Dragon makes a full appearance in a post-credits scene, in which she arrives with six young "dronkeys" - dragon-donkey hybrids that meet their clueless father for the first time. The film implies that Dragon was absent due to brooding her young, though it's not known whether Dragon is oviparous or viviparous. However in the game Shrek Super Slam eggs are seen in dragon smells.
Dragon played a slightly more prominent role in Shrek The Third. She and her young dronkeys stay behind with Fiona and the other "princess" characters to await Shrek's return. When Prince Charming attacks Far Far Away, Dragon is captured and disarmed by a large iron chain cast net; her dronkey offspring are caught and imprisoned, as well. At the film's climax, Dragon helps dispose of Prince Charming by knocking over a stone stage prop keep on top of him. She has apparently lost a good large portion of her strength and ferocity, as she is easily detained, as opposed to her earlier appearance where she posed a significant challenge to Shrek and was only narrowly contained. She is later seen in Shrek's swamp while Shrek and Fiona are caring for their ogre triplets.
The Gingerbread Man, also known as Gingy, hates to lose his gumdrop buttons and is difficult to catch. His life flashes before his eyes and shows: Gingy being made by his papa, the Muffin Man, Gingy graduating, marrying his love gingerbread girl but soon getting imprisoned, Gingy being tortured then the training to help his legs be strong again.

| Pinocchio | |
|---|---|
| Shrek character | |
| Gender | Male |
| Type | Puppet |
| Other Family | Mr. Geppetto (Former Owner) |
| Voiced by | Cody Cameron |
Pinocchio is a puppet who wants to be a real boy who can grow his nose whenever he lies. He is based on the fairy-tale character, Pinocchio. He is voiced by Cody Cameron, and in the theatre adaption, Pinocchio is played by Tony Award Nominee John Tartaglia.
In the first film, his creator Geppetto was seen in the film when he sold Pinocchio (who the guard calls "the possessed toy"). Geppetto received five shillings for him. Pinocchio was a fairy tale creature who was sold along with Donkey. Later, he is banished into Shrek's swamp among the others by Lord Farquaad. He has a small role only.
In Shrek 2, Pinocchio becomes one of Shrek's best friends prior to the events of the film. He helps Shrek and Princess Fiona in guarding their swamp while they visit Far Far Away. He is later seen, watching the Royal Far Far Away Ball and when Shrek (in his human form) is thrown into a police truck. Once seeing this, Pinocchio and the others travel to Far Far Away to free Shrek, Puss in Boots and Donkey. While there, he accidentally reveals that he wears thongs. After that, they managed to get into the castle and stop the Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming. He became a real boy when the Fairy Godmother used her magic wand on him. Unfortunately, when Gingy tried passing the wand to the three blind mice, they failed to catch it. As a result, Pinocchio was hit by a powerful blast of magic that turned him into a puppet again. He sings Mr. Roboto in Far Far Away Idol.
In Shrek The Third, Pinocchio, along with several other fairy tale creatures, attends Fiona's baby shower while Shrek, Donkey, and Puss in Boots are away. Charming and his evil followers crash the party, and he tries to get Pinocchio to tell them Shrek's location, as he knows that the puppet cannot lie. Pinocchio manages to get around the trap by talking in circles; however, Charming manages to find out the information in other ways. When Shrek and his company return, they find Pinocchio was imprisoned in a miniature theater, where he was forced to give a marionette performance for people who paid. He is freed and helps to defeat Charming and the other evil fairy tale creatures.
In Shrek Super Slam he is a main character and his Slam move is Buzz Bomber, and he has a Doctor Pinocchio costume. According to the story with the Black Knight, Pinocchio works at Friar's Fat Boy.
Pinocchio also appears as an unlockable racer in the game Shrek Smash and Crash Racing. His kart is a wooden horse and his personal item is his long nose.
| Big Bad Wolf | |
|---|---|
| Shrek character | |
| Gender | Male |
| Type | Wolf |
| Voiced by | Aron Warner |
The Big Bad Wolf is based loosely on the character of Big Bad Wolf. He is voiced by Aron Warner. He is a kind character despite most other adaptations of him. His voice seems to be somewhat dull and monotonous. It should be noted that he is wearing a pink dress and this dress might probably be from the grandmother of the Little Red Riding Hood. The Red Riding Hood seems to be changed into a villain (meaning that the producers intend to switch his and her personalities). The Big Bad Wolf is often heard saying, "What?". He is also friends with The Three Little Pigs in the films despite an incident in Far Far Away Idol. In the first film, he is among the fairy-tale creatures who are banished to Shrek's swamp. Later, he is seen cheering as Shrek and Princess Fiona go on their honeymoon.
He has became good friends with Shrek and the gang prior to the events of Shrek 2. He is first seen in the beginning of the film in which Prince Charming arrives to the castle where Fiona was held in. However, instead of her, he is seen lying on the bed reading a book entitled "Pork Illustrated". In reality, Fiona and Shrek are still on their honeymoon, proving that Charming is too late to rescue. He helps Shrek and Princess Fiona in guarding their swamp while they visit Far Far Away. He is later seen, watching the Royal Far Far Away Ball and when Shrek (in his human form) is thrown into a police truck. Once seeing this, the Big Bad Wolf and the others travel to Far Far Away to free Shrek, Puss in Boots and Donkey. After that, they managed to get into the castle and stop the Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming. When they steal the Fairy Godmother's wand, in a Piggy in the Middle game, the Wolf uses his traditional 'huff and puff' to blow her away from it.
In Shrek The Third, Pinocchio, along with several other fairy tale creatures, attends Fiona's baby shower while Shrek, Donkey, and Puss in Boots are away. When Charming and his evil followers crash the party, he and the others stage a calm tea party. However, Charming manages to find out where Shrek is. When the trio return with Artie, they free him from a secret place. Then, he helps to defeat Charming and the other evil fairy tale creatures from killing Shrek before the entire kingdom.
| Three Little Pigs | |
|---|---|
| Shrek character | |
| Gender | Males |
| Type | Pigs |
| Voiced by | Cody Cameron |
The Three Little Pigs are friends with Shrek and the gang. All three voiced by Cody Cameron; they have appeared in all Shrek films. In the original book and in the film, they are among the many fairy tale creatures to be banished into Shrek's swamp by Lord Farquaad.
They have a larger role in Shrek 2. By then, the pigs are best friends with Shrek prior to the events of the film. At the start of the film, the three pigs help look after Shrek's and Fiona's house while they visit the kingdom of Far Far Away. Later in the film, they see Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots arrested by local police officers in Far Far Away, and then free them, heading to the castle to stop Prince Charming. They managed to stop the Fairy Godmother's scheme and they celebrate.
The pigs are less prominent role in the third film. They appear at the start of the film at Prince Charming's new job; an actor in a dinner theatre. They jeer him along with the rest of the crowd, leading Charming to leave the stage. They later appear in the castle pretending to have tea with the others while Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots are finding Artie, the apparent heir to the throne, and Fiona, Queen Lillian and the princesses escape via a secret passage. Prince Charming storms in and demands Shrek's location. Under pressure, one of the pigs reveals Shrek's plan, and ends up locked up somewhere secret. The pigs are later freed and they head to the castle and managed to stop Prince Charming from killing Shrek in his show.
The Three Blind Mice, based on the fairy-tale creatures, Three Blind Mice, are friends with Shrek and the gang. They all suffer from blindness and that is why they sport black sunglasses. Unlike the fairy-tale they are based on, their tails are not cut off and they show no signs of injuries. The three of them are voiced by Christopher Knights, but in the first movie of shrek they were voiced by Christopher Knights and Simon J. Smith and in the Karaokey Dance Party by Mike Myers.
At the beginning of the first film, they are banished into Shrek's swamp among the others by Lord Farquaad. They are not seen again until the final musical number "I'm a believer", during which two are temporarily turned into horses (by the fairies of Sleeping Beauty) to pull a wagon made from an onion.
In Shrek 2, the Three Blind Mice become one of Shrek's best friends prior to the events of the film. They help Shrek and Princess Fiona in guarding their swamp while they visit Far Far Away. They are later seen, watching the Royal Far Far Away Ball and when Shrek (in his human form) is thrown into a police truck. Once seeing this, the Blind Mice and the others travel to Far Far Away to free Shrek, Puss In Boots and Donkey. After that, they managed to get into the castle and stop the Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming. They later appear in Far Far Away Idol.
In Shrek The Third, the Three Blind Mice, along with several other fairy tale creatures, attends Fiona's baby shower while Shrek, Donkey, and Puss in Boots are away. Charming and his evil followers crash the party. Before the Prince arrives, the Three Blind Mice and the others stage a calm and soothing tea party, as if to pretend they are unaware of anything. However, they are inexplicably thrown into a secret location to be imprisoned. When Shrek and his company return, they are freed and helps to defeat Charming and the other evil fairy tale creatures.
| Donkey Jr., Coco, Bananas, Peanut, Parfait and Debbie/Eclair | |
|---|---|
| Shrek character | |
| Type | Dronkeys |
| Other Family | Donkey (father) Dragon(mother) |
Dronkeys are the hybrid offspring of Dragon and Donkey. The dronkeys were introduced in Shrek 2 as little more than a stinger gag. Audience members missed having Dragon in the film, which was revealed to the filmmakers during test screenings.[1] Dragon reunites with Donkey in Far Far Away, only to have a surprise for him in tow - six young "dronkeys," who take to their father immediately. Donkey is delighted, and dubs the dronkeys "our little mutant babies."
The dronkeys have very little screen time in Shrek The Third. They appear initially to give Shrek a wake up call, then to bid farewell to Donkey before his journey with Shrek. Near the film's climax, Donkey frees them from Prince Charming's capture. In addition, a few dronkeys make an appearance at the film's closing, when Shrek and Fiona are caring for their newborn triplets. The dronkeys also serve as background action in the Christmas television special. They are featured playing with the ogre children of Shrek and the Princess.
The only individual to be given any semblance of a personality is Bananas, who has bright green irises which are noticeably wall-eyed, and frequently sneezes small tongues of flame. Donkey refers to Bananas as "my special boy!"
Some confusion exists as to the missing dronkey from Shrek 2. When the dronkeys were first introduced in the film's post-credits scene, there were six total - including a unique individual which was red in color like her mother. She is nowhere to be seen in Shrek the Third; this is a continuity error on the part of the filmmakers.
In addition, the dronkeys' names suffer inconsistencies. The majority of available sources for all five names cite the two girls as Cocoa and Debbie, and the three boys as Parfait, Peanut, and Bananas.[2][3] However, a character guide feature on the Blu-ray Disc release of Shrek the Third omits Debbie and instead lists Eclair.[4]
| Ogre Babies | |
|---|---|
| Shrek character | |
| Gender | 2 males, 1 female |
| Type | Ogres |
| Other Family | Shrek (father) Princess Fiona (mother) Queen Lillian (maternal grandmother) King Harold (maternal grandfather, deceased) |
The Ogre Babies are the children of Shrek and Princess Fiona. There are 2 males and 1 female (this can be seen when she is wearing a pink bowtie, in a female fashion, tied to her hair). Like their parents, their skin is green and they inherit a lot of physical features too such as their ears.
In Shrek The Third, before their physical appearance, they are briefly mentioned by Princess Fiona when Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots are preparing to leave for finding Artie. She said that when Shrek and herself will go back to their swamp, there will be some little 'ogre feet' too. In their first physical appearance, they appear (along with hundreds of them) in Shrek's dream while Shrek is on his way, along with Donkey and Puss in Boots, to find Artie. They flood inside Shrek's house and later, they laugh at Shrek while he is visibly naked and wearing his graduation hat. In the end of the film, they are already born and they play around the swamp. Two of them pull Puss's tail and head (putting a pacifier into his mouth). Another pulls some ear wax from Shrek's ear uses it to draw pictures with his/her left hand. Later that night, they are shown sleeping and snoring all in one small baby cot. Shrek and Fiona constantly give them slug juice for drinks. The ogre triplets are shown prominently in the credits, along with Puss in Boots and Donkey.
| Queen Lillian | |
|---|---|
| Shrek character | |
| Gender | Female |
| Type | Human |
| Spouse | King Harold |
| Other Family | Princess Fiona (daughter) Shrek (Son-in-law) Ogre Triplets (grandchildren) |
| Voiced by | Julie Andrews |
Queen Lillian was the wife of King Harold (currently a widow),[5][6] and mother to Princess Fiona. She is voiced by Julie Andrews.
Queen Lillian makes her debut in the film Shrek 2, as Queen of Far Far Away. Although initially surprised at Fiona's transformation into an ogre, she is far more understanding of what has happened and, seeing that her daughter is deeply in love, accepts Shrek into their family. When King Harold is turned back into the Frog King at the end of the movie, she still accepts him as she did years ago. It is revealed that she and Harold are the Princess and the frog from the famous story.
In Shrek the Third, she becomes a more determined character, leading the pack of princesses through a series of tunnels in the castle, and breaking two walls with her head, whilst humming "My Favorite Things" (an in-joke referring to the song sung by Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music) and "A Spoonful of Sugar" from "Mary Poppins", another role Andrews is famous for. She is able to rally the other princesses from being damsels in distress to independent fighters. It was also revealed in the movie that Fiona inherited her fighting skills from her mother (Lillian even asks "Well, you didn't think you got your fighting skills from your father, did you?") Lillian is last seen after the movie's finale in Shrek's swamp home, playing with an ogre triplet, who is sick on her; she initially looks disgusted, then changes, and finds the event cute.
| King Harold | |
|---|---|
| Shrek character | |
| Gender | Male |
| Type | Human Frog (original/current form) |
| Spouse | Queen Lillian |
| Other Family | Princess Fiona (daughter) Shrek (Son-in-law) Ogre Triplets (grandchildren) |
| Voiced by | John Cleese |
King Harold was the husband of Queen Lillian,[5][6] and father to Princess Fiona. He is voiced by John Cleese.
King Harold makes his debut in Shrek 2. When his daughter Fiona arrives at the castle with her new husband, he is surprised that they are both ogres. King Harold had secretly made a promise to the Fairy Godmother that her son Prince Charming would marry Fiona. King Harold hires Puss in Boots to assassinate Shrek. King Harold then succumbs to guilt when Fiona finds out that Shrek is not around. Harold at first refuses when the Fairy Godmother asks him to give the love potion to Fiona that will cause her to fall in love with Prince Charming, because he recoils from this invasion of her free will, but he is forced to acquiesce by some dark threat of disclosure; in the event, when Fiona states that she loved the old Shrek (rather the 'new' one that Prince Charming is pretending to be), Harold swaps the cup which contains the potion for his own. At the ball toward the end of the film, Harold protects Fiona and Shrek from a blast of magic from Fairy Godmother's wand. He is finally transformed into his original form of the Frog Prince when he is hit by the Fairy Godmother's magic wand. The wife seems not at all unhappy about this turn of events. After this, he apologizes to Shrek and accepts him into the family, his wife saying that he is more of a man for accepting Shrek and Fiona's marriage than he ever was when he was actually human.
King Harold makes a very brief appreance in Shrek The Third as a frog king where he sadly dies of a sickness (probably old age or transition from human to frog years ). Before he dies he tells Shrek that he and Fiona are next in line for the throne of Far Far Away, Shrek refuses as he cannot imagine an ogre as king. The king dies after telling Shrek about Fiona's cousin Arthur.
| Merlin | |
|---|---|
| Shrek character | |
| Gender | Male |
| Voiced by | Eric Idle |
Merlin is a retired wizard teacher from Artie's high school, Worcestershire in Shrek the Third. Merlin is roughly based on the mythological Merlin, as well as his Disney counterpart from The Sword in the Stone. He is voiced by Eric Idle.[7]
In Shrek 3, after their ship crashed into sharp rocks, Shrek, Donkey, Puss, and Artie get stranded on an island (possibly Lovers' Beach in Far Far Away) where they met Arthur's retired teacher Merlin after Artie tries to separate himself from Shrek. Since he retired due to a nervous breakdown (although he calls it "third-level fatigue"), Merlin seems rather crazy and his magic spells usually go wrong. In order to help Shrek and Arthur reconcile, he makes them look into a thick cloud of smoke to reveal their thoughts. Shrek sees a baby carriage, but lies and says that he sees a "rainbow pony". Merlin is pleased and moves on to Arthur, who sees a bird and its father. The father bird abandons the chick, leaving him frightened and confused. Merlin then is happy they decided to look into their soul and as he retreats to his hut, Shrek takes this opportunity to show Arthur that they're not so different after all. When Captain Hook and his cronies ambush the four, he plays his piano and Merlin is beside him playing it too, before being shoved off. After the villains retreat, Artie convinces Merlin to use a spell to teleport them to Far Far Away. But the spell causes Donkey and Puss to switch bodies. After Prince Charming's defeat, Merlin returns, and Puss and Donkey force him to put them back in their own bodies. The spell works, but causes their tails to switch. Merlin tries to tell them, but decides not to (though their tails are inexplicably shown to have returned to normal later).
| Cinderella | |
|---|---|
| Shrek character | |
| Gender | Female |
| Type | Human |
| Spouse | Prince Charming (?) |
| Voiced by | Amy Sedaris (Shrek the Third) |
Cinderella is one of Princess Fiona's friends. Like the character she is based on, she wears her pair of glass slippers throughout the events of Shrek The Third. It should be noted that Cinderella does use her glass slipper as weapon. It functions somewhat the same as a boomerang. Also, she is possibly suffers from an anxiety disorder called Obsessive-compulsive disorder due to her obsession to cleanliness and tidyness after doing this extremely commonly when she was serving her stepmother and her stepsisters (revealed to be Doris and Mabel). This is a stark contrast to the Shrek 2 video game, in which she is portrayed as an oblivious valley girl. She is voiced by Amy Sedaris and she based loosely on the fairy-tale character, Cinderella.
When Lord Farquaad is forced to choose his wife so that he could be king, one of the choices was Cinderella herself. She is shown in a painting at #1 and she is depicted as wearing a yellow dress and trying on her glass slipper. However, Farquaad chooses #3 which is Princess Fiona. In Shrek 2, Cinderella is briefly mentioned when the Fairy Godmother is explaining to Shrek that ogres don't live happily ever after. There is also a picture of her in Fairy Godmother's factory thanking her which can be more closely seen in a "Behind-the-Secenes" guide. Because of this, it could also be possible that Cinderella's fairy godmother is indeed her.
Cinderella appears more prominently in Shrek The Third. However, she receives a design change such as that intead of her old yellow dress, she is now wearing a light blue-silver dress. She becomes friends with Princess Fiona prior to the events of the film. She first appears in Fiona's baby shower. However, Prince Charming interrupts Fiona's baby shower and takes over the throne. She escapes with Fiona, Queen Lillian and the other princesses. She is later betrayed by Rapunzel and imprisoned in a dungeon. They manage to escape and they head towards the castle. Snow White tricks the guards: talking trees, by singing a high tone to charm the animals and suddenly command them to attack the trees. Her plan works and they enter the castle's grounds and avoided the knights who are guarding. While trying to get into the castle, Cinderella hurls her glass slipper to a knight, knocking him out cold. Her throwing resembles a fashion to a boomerang. Cinderella, along with the other princesses and Queen Lillian, arrives just in time to stop Prince Charming from killing Shrek before the entire kingdom. After Charming is defeated, she is seen talking to the other princesses in the background.
| Snow White | |

| Gender | Female |
| Type | Human |
| Spouse | Prince Charming (?) (deceased) |
| Other Family | Evil Queen (Step-Mother) |
| Voiced by | Amy Poehler (Shrek the Third) |
Snow White, is one of Princess Fiona's friends, and is based on the fairy-tale character, Snow White as well as the Disney version from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She has a talent in singing and uses it to charm animals and direct them to follow her orders. She is shown to be very prideful and vain, even boasting how she won fairest in the land from the Wicked Queen. She is voiced by Amy Poehler. In the first film, Snow White cameos as one of the fairy-tale creatures to be banished to Shrek's swamp. She is shown sleeping inside her coffin and being handled by her 7 dwarves. When Lord Farquaad is forced to choose a wife, Snow White is the second choice, seen sleeping in the glass coffin.
Snow White appears more prominently in Shrek The Third. She has become friends with Fiona prior to the events of the film. However, Prince Charming interrupts Fiona's baby shower after she gives her a dwarf as a gift to babysit her babies. She says that she has 6 more of them at home. She escapes with Fiona, Queen Lillian and the other princesses. She is later betrayed by Rapunzel and imprisoned in a dungeon. They manage to escape and they head towards the castle. She tricks the guards - talking trees - by singing a high tone to charm the animals and suddenly command them to attack the trees. Her plan works and they enter the castle's grounds and avoided the knights who are guarding. Snow White, along with the other princesses and Queen Lillian, arrives just in time to stop Prince Charming from killing Shrek before the entire kingdom. After Charming is defeated, she is seen talking to the other princesses in the background.
| Sleeping Beauty | |

| Gender | Female |
| Type | Human |
| Spouse | Prince Philip |
| Voiced by | Cheri Oteri (Shrek the Third) |
Sleeping Beauty is one of Princess Fiona's friends, and is based on the fairy-tale character, Sleeping Beauty. She is voiced by Cheri Oteri. Like the character she is based on, she literally sleeps a lot. This implies that she suffers from narcolepsy in which she sleeps during inappropriate times. She actually can avoid knights by falling onto the ground, tripping the knights down. Due to the fact that she does so much sleeping in the film, little is known about her personality, other than she seems to be a fair, nice person.
In Shrek 2, Sleeping Beauty is shown in a poorly drawn picture in Fiona's diary. It explains that she has a party with all the other princesses. However, Princess Fiona is not allowed to go due to her ogre-appearance charm that takes place every night. She is briefly mentioned when the Fairy Godmother is explaining to Shrek that ogres don't live happily ever after. Later, she cameos in the film but receives no dialogue. Sleeping Beauty is seen when a limo pulls up at the red carpet to the Royal Far Far Away Ball. When the door opens, Sleeping Beauty falls to the ground, still sleeping. In the film, she is wearing a blue dress with a crown.
Sleeping Beauty appears more prominently in Shrek The Third. However, she receives a design change such as that instead of her old blue dress, she is now wearing a white-green dress, and instead of having gloden hair, she now has shown that she has light brown hair.She becomes friends with Princess Fiona prior to the events of the film. She first appears in Fiona's baby shower. However, Prince Charming interrupts Fiona's baby shower and takes over the throne. She escapes with Fiona, Queen Lillian and the other princesses. She is later betrayed by Rapunzel and imprisoned in a dungeon. They manage to escape and they head towards the castle. Snow White tricks the guards: talking trees, by singing a high tone to charm the animals and suddenly command them to attack the trees. Her plan works and they enter the castle's grounds and avoided the knights who are guarding. While trying to get into the castle, Sleeping Beauty (due to her suffering from narcolepsy) yawns and falls onto the ground. This causes the knights to trip over her and fall, unconscious. Sleeping Beauty, along with the other princesses and Queen Lillian, arrives just in time to stop Prince Charming from killing Shrek before the entire kingdom. After Charming is defeated, she is seen talking to the other princesses in the background.
| Rapunzel | |

| Other Family | Prince Charming (boyfriend?)
(deceased) Fairy Godmother (future mother-in-law?, deceased) |
| Voiced by | Maya Rudolph (Shrek the Third) |
Rapunzel is one of Princess Fiona's friends. She is voiced by Maya Rudolph. Unlike the rest of the princesses, she betrayed the group by siding with Prince Charming and assists in his evil plans. It is revealed in the end of the movie that she is actually bald and she is wearing a long braided wig. While unlikely, this could be a reference to the fairy tale when the witch cuts off her hair. It should be noted that she actually has a sympathetic side. This is evidenced when she reminds Charming to not hurt the princesses and Queen Lillian as he promised. Also, as they are led to their dungeon, she turns back and gave a sorrowful expression on her face. She is snobby, opinionated, vain, and doesn't seem to get along with the bossy Snow White in particular.
In Shrek The Third, she is first seen during Fiona's baby shower until Prince Charming invades the castle and the princesses and Queen Lillian escape secretly. Eventually, Rapunzel pretends to find an exit and runs all the way to where Charming really is. The princesses and the Queen follow but are cornered by Charming's knights. Rapunzel then shows off her love and affection towards the Prince and the ladies are imprisoned in a dungeon. While they are imprisoned, Rapunzel is practising for her role in Prince Charming's play. In the final performance, she sings and acts as a princess on top of a tower (mimicking Princess Fiona, whose situation itself was a mimick of Rapunzel's) but the play was interrupted by all of Shrek's friends and wife. Gingy enters the stage by holding on to her hair as he quickly gets down. He accidentally pulls all of her hair and Rapunzel gasps in horror (when it is revealed that she is actually bald). She later runs away from the stage due to the embarrassment.
Main article: Doris (Shrek)
Doris is one of Cinderella's Stepsisters, and first appears in Shrek 2. Unlike other adaptations of the sisters, she is more of an ally to Fiona. It is the only one that is not a princess between the friends of Fiona. She's seen as an unusually ugly female bartender at the Poison Apple, who has an extremely deep, male voice. At first, she had a crush on Charming and forces him to kiss her at the end of Shrek 2. She also seen during Fiona's baby shower in Shrek the Third. She is accused of being ugly in Far Far Away Idol by Simon Cowell, where she sings Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Voiced by Larry King in the US version and Jonathan Ross in the UK version.
The Magic Mirror is owned by Lord Farquaad. He presents Lord Farquaad with three princesses that he can marry (from which he chooses Fiona). The mirror also appears in the "I'm a Believer" scene at the end of the movie, as well as the scene in Shrek 2, where Shrek, Donkey, and Puss are being arrested, meaning he may have teamed up with Shrek's posse. Voiced by Chris Miller.
Mongo, the giant gingerbread man created by the Muffin Man.
At the end of the movie, he sings a section of Livin' la Vida Loca.
He is the background character of the arena "Mongo" in Shrek Super Slam, where he is carrying a giant birthday cake. Mongo also makes a cameo in Shrek Smash and Crash Racing. He roams in the suburbs of Far Far Away track and if any racers make contact with him, they will spin out.
He will reappear in Shrek Forever After.
Little Red Riding Hood is shown at the beginning of Shrek 2, working for a honeymooner-oriented camping park, offering food for sale. Shrek and Fiona scare her away by looking at her. She leaves her basket behind and Shrek and Fiona proceed to eat its contents. She also appears in Shrek 2 the game, where she appears as a professional softball pitcher. Her slam is Basket of Utter Destruction. She has a different appearance in the two productions. She made a cameo in Shrek the Third, where she pick-pocketed a dwarf while cloaking herself in her red hood. She also offered to help Prince charming take over Far Far Away (It is unknown why she is considered a villain in that film, but is possibly because she is the adversary of the Big Bad Wolf). Little Red Riding Hood appears as a racer in the game Shrek Smash and Crash Racing. Her name is simply "Red Riding Hood" and her appearance is the same as her appearance in the film Shrek 2. Little Red Riding Hood's kart is the Big Bad Wolf and her personal item is a picnic basket.
The Muffin Man, who lives on Drury Lane, enter King Harold's castle during the Wedding Ball. In the third movie, the Muffin Man is revealed to be a father figure to Gingy as he calls him "Papa". Like the Nursery Rhyme, he lives on Drury Lane.
The Seven Dwarfs first appear in the first movie carrying Snow White's coffin. These Seven Dwarves are later seen in Shrek 2 when they give Shrek a ring engraved with "I love you" in flaming letters (for Fiona). This is an allusion to the One Ring from J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy book, The Lord of the Rings, recently popularized by Peter Jackson's film trilogy. In "Shrek the Third", some evil dwarves assist Prince Charming in his plan to take over Far Far Away. Also in "Shrek the Third" a Dwarf is given to Fiona as a wedding present from Snow White. When Fiona refuses Snow White muses she has "six more" back home.

In Shrek Smash and Crash Racing, his appearance differs from his appearance in other videogames. Humpty Dumpty now wears racing goggles. Humpty Dumpty's kart is the flying chicken and his special item is a frying pan. As stated above, Humpty Dumpty's grave is seen in Shrek 4-D, but is still seen in the Shrek videogames. Thus, it is unknown if he is still alive or not.

This is shown when Lord Farquaad is deciding between three princesses, 1, 2 and 3. Thelonious is heard saying "3". However, he holds up two fingers, thus showing his lack of intelligence. Due to having a black mask over his head, Thelonious could be Farquaad's executioner as well.

The French-speaking version of Robin Hood appears in the first Shrek movie. Thinking Shrek is kidnapping Princess Fiona, he tries to save her with the aid of his Merry Men. They are defeated by Princess Fiona, who uses her karate skills.
