- Peperoni Von "Pepe" Kittenberg III (voiced by Charles Emmanuel) - A troublemaker and rude boy with spiky red hair who works as a delivery boy for his grandmother. He is always getting into mischief and causing problems, facing all the monsters and mythical beings that appear in his town, almost always through his fault. Pepe's friends are Marilu, Guto, Gastón and Roberto who often follow in the supernatural adventures.
- Ramona Bravaria de Lemornio "Grandmother" Peperonito (voiced by Nádia Carvalho) - Pepe's grandmother with whom he lives in his dark mansion. She is a wicked old witch who lives experimenting with their cats and sells potions using his grandson as a delivery boy. In one episode it is revealed that she is the older sister of Lady Death.
- Maria Lourdes "Marilu" da Silva (voiced by Iara Riça) - Pepe's best friend and partner. She assists Pepe in his supernatural adventures, often getting the group into more trouble before saving the day. She has a crush on Pepe and Mario.
- Guterico "Guto" Flores and Gaston de la Fleur (voiced by Oberdan Junior and Luis Sérgio Vieira) - Conjoined twin brothers who have two heads together on the same body. Guto tends to be nicer while Gaston is mean and rude.
