[edit] Characters
- Yin: Yin is a smart pink female rabbit. Smart, sassy, oh-so stubburn, Yin struggles to balance her burning disire to save the world & nagging urge to strangle her brother! Yin is learning the Magical, side of Woo Foo & knows the attacks; Yin-Cinerate, Yin Ferno, Trans-Foo-Mate, Levitation, Energy Blast, Energy Lasso, Foo Field,Fooluminate, & Aura (kinda; the first time she tried it spit her out & went on a rampage). Together with Yang, they can do Fire-Nado. She is also a fan of two-ni-corns, a play on the unicorns.
- Yang: Yang is the blue male. He is into video games,motorcycles,and other boy stuff like that. Yang is learning the might side of Woo Foo & he can use; The Bamboo Sword, Yang-a-Rang, The Bamboo Staff, Foo Nado, Reverse Foonado, Foo Chucks, Fists of Fire, Paws of Pain, Power Punch,& together with Yin they can do Fire-Nado. He also has a battle cry: "Chee! Hoo! Waah!"
- Yo: A cranky old panda, Yo with his sage wisdom and Woo Foo mastery, mentors Yin and Yang in the Woo Foo way to save the world. The slothful Sensei, feels at his age that he deserves to do, well... nothing!
- Night Master- As a Dark Overlord in an evil class all by himself, the Night Master's power is awesome to behold--much like his new outfit. This master villain loves him some fancy outfits! He is a very powerful and dangerous foe who was responsible for Woo Foo's near extinction by banishing all of the Woo Foo knights except for Master Yo. Yo managed to turn Night Master's army to stone and sent him into hiding for a hundred years until he tricked Yin and Yang into using Woo Foo to free his army.
- Carl: Carl, the amazingly evil cockroach wizard, continuously schemes to defeat Yin, Yang and the power of the Woo Foo with his insecure genius. Of course, he always fails. The show is half comedy, so... he lives with his mother.
- Edna: Edna is Carl and Herman's 'Mother'.The odd fact is that Carl is a cockroach and Herman is an ant, while Edna is a dragon. Who is so mean to Carl & does not even care about him!!! The only thing she cares about is Herman & herself!!!
- Herman: Carl's blackhearted brother and an Ant, Herman, is a tyrannical warrior who rules his kingdom with an iron fist, a diabolical mind, and really impeccable table manners. He attempted to take over the world until Master yo stopped him. Since Brother Herman is allergic to pandas, he can't take over the world as long as Master Yo is around.
- Ultimoose: Ultimoose is the ultimate Night Master lackey: tough as nails, a master at Moose fighting, and really, really dumb. Just don't mention his shortness. Have you SEEN those antlers? He seems to offer work under the Night master but is mearly a pawn, a stupid pawn. He does a lot of "HOO! HAH! HOO"! As an insult he calls people little girls or ladies.
- Kraggler: About a "bazillion" years old, Kraggler used to be a great and powerful warrior--and Master Yo's archenemy. Now he is just a crotchety geyser, one that can suck the age right out of you! He is now young again and can take your youth from you!
- Yuck: A disgusting by-product of Woo Foo gone awry, Yuck is an obnoxious combo of Yin's control-freakiness and Yang's off the hook aggression. Only as some kind of mutant rabbit-oid thing. Yuck want's more than anything in the world to be the greatest, most powerful Woo Foo knight ever! After He lost his physical form, he was found by the Night Master who built him a robot suit with hands that absorb woo foo. He dated Yin and eventually absorbed enough energy to regain his physical form, becoming his own individual being. The rabbit duo beat him but it's most likely he'll be back.
- Chung Pow Kitties: At first glance, the Chung Pow Kitties (CPK) seem like three cute white kittens with pink, blue, and green dresses, but in reality, they are ruthless ninjas with ultra-sharp weapons (with the exception of the green-clad cat's nunchuks) and allegiance to no one. However, once they see a ball of yarn or a dish of cat food - even in battle - they instantly revert to adorable balls of fur. They are also world famous as rock stars and stage actors, even though all they say is "meow." Yang was once their biggest fan, but the CPK betrayed him and they have been bitter rivals ever since.
- Zarnot: Once Yang's favorite toy, Zarnot is now an evil action figure brought to life by the Lie Fairy. Being discarded has left the 12th Level Dreadbot with a robotic mania for the destruction on Yang!
- Saranoia: With a magic wand, for every occasion (and outfit), Saranoia is a powerful sorceress and mistress of disguise. But there is no hiding the obvious: she's totally bonkers! She's obsessed with female rights and is determined to free Yin from studing Woo-Foo. She had a terrible childhood and always thinks men are her lazy brother Mark which she keeps calling Yang. When Saranoia takes one of her wands, she takes on a set of characteristics and must abide by the wand, even if its against her will (One wand turned her into a maid that was forced to clean any mess she saw). Saranoia also has a gnome sidekick who makes comments about her sanity. When Saranoia uses one of her wands, she immediately turns him into a creature fitting for that wand (Ice: A peguin. Pirate: A parrot. Maid: A little fluffy dog)
- Roger the Skelewog: Roger the Skelewog is a tough vicious warrior from 9 to 5. Being a scary monster is just his job. When the whistle blows he goes home to his wife, kids and life and the suburbs. Now that's scary!
- Dave: Dave, the magical talking tree stump, is a whiny little tree guy. Perpetually late (he's a tree), Dave is the only kid that talks non stop about going to school. And he likes "WOOD POWER"! & being kind to wood.
- Coop: Coop is scared of everything. But his crush on Yin is so bad, he'll do anything for her affection. Secretly Coop actually works for the Night Master being promesed Yin in return. And Coop is always takes risks of all kinds just to be near... "YIN"!!!
- Ommiliza: Ommiliza that got sent to the Dojo leaving her 74,999 year old mum and 80,000 year old dad. And her grandfather's Kraggler!
