*'''Shadow Demon''' (voiced by Bob Holt)<br>A shadowy demon, he is Venger's personal spy and assistant. Shadow Demon often informs Venger about the children's (whom he refers to as "Dungeon Master's young ones") current quests.

*'''Tiamat''' (voiced by Frank Welker)<br>Venger's arch-rival is a fearsome female five-headed Queen of the dragons with a reverberating multi-level voice. Her five heads are: a white head breathing ice, a green head breathing toxic gas, a central red head breathing fire, a blue head breathing lightning, and a black head breathing acid. Only two things can conquer her -the kids weapons used together ([[Hall of Bones"]]) or dragonsbane ([["The Treasure of Tardos"]]). Although Venger and the children both avoid Tiamat, the kids once used her to their own ends such as making a deal with her in "The Dragon's Graveyard" to destroy Venger. Although promotional blurbs show the kids fighting Tiamat, the kids only fight her twice ([["The Night of No Tomorrow"]], [["The Dragons Graveyard"]])-Tiamat's main quarrel is with Venger. The non-canonical "Baldur's Gate II" makes the claim that the kids were destroyed by Tiamat
this apparently gave rise to a Internet rumor that the kids never made it home but were trapped in hell;
Baldur's Gate II" has cameo pictures of Hank and Bobbi implying the kids have gone through Baldur's Gate II" on their quest to go home.

Likewise had the series not been canceled, the next episode "Requiem" would have shown the kids redeeming Venger from evil. The actors did read out "Requiem" as a radio play, and a Portuguese comic book version of Dungeons and Dragons did produce "Requiem".

"Requiem" had an unresolved cliffhanger ending: the kids either finally going home (if the series was canceled) or a 4th season of more adventures (if the series was renewed). According to the [http://dungeonsanddragonscartoon.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_list Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon Wiki] episode listing: "If the show had continued, they would have ''left the Realm'', but ''not make it home'', instead, ''a new world'', with a ''female'' DungeonMaster would be on the other side ready to guide them."

As noted, this series ''never had a concluding episode''-not even with "Requiem"-hence imaginative fans can write their own versions of what happened to the kids...for example at fan-fiction<ref>https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7697412/1/Beginnings</ref><ref>https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7697412/1/Beginnings</ref>.
In 2020 fans of series made cartoon version of "Requiem" with one difference; the only member of the kids who do not go back to Earth is Presto! ironically in The 2023 film ''[[Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves]]'' featured teenage/adult versions of live-action cameos with Edgar Abram as Hank, Luke Bennett as Bobby, Emer McDaid as Sheila, Moe Sasegbon as Diana, Trevor Kaneswaran as Eric, and Seamus O'Hara as Presto. In this version the kids are still trapped in the realm; They are seen competing in a special tournament and have made it to a cage in the middle of a shifting labyrinth.

==Trivia==

*Valley of the Unicorns Keleck has succeded in stealing 19 of the alicorns from the Unicorns and almost succedes with Silvermane
+
*The Dragons graveyard Epsiode shows there are dragons skelatons much bigger than Tiamat.Venger reanimates five dragon Warrior skeletons to go against the Kids; One with sword tries to attack Shelia and Uni But is broken up by Bobby; One with a wand chains Presto Feet but Presto beats him with his magic; One with a whip entagnles Dinah javelen but she uses it to defeat him;One with a trident attacks Eric but goes to pieces when he hits the shield. One has a mornigstar fail that is whirled around fast enough creates a miniature whirlwind and knocks down Shelia (in a connunity goof this one is not shown being stopped;probably that would have shown Shelia turning the tables on her attacker)
