Sprig Plantar is a pink poison dart frog and Anne's best friend.[4] He is adventurous and energetic, qualities which can get him into adventure and trouble. [5] Despite acting carelessly at times, he is loyal to his friends and family and seeks to do what is right. He was the first person to befriend Anne and showed the most sympathy towards her plight; having to convince Hop Pop to take her in.[6] Despite being very close with Anne, he still prefers his own personal space[7] and has admitted that he has no romantic interest in her.[8] While he can be at odds with Hop Pop,[9] Sprig does care about him and likes spending time with him.[10] Sprig also has a sibling rivalry with Polly, but is also protective of her.[11] Early in the first season, Sprig gets roped into an arranged marriage with Maddie Flour[12] which they ultimately break off, with Sprig realizing that Maddie is cool despite her personality.[13] He develops a closer relationship with Ivy Sundew, whom he has known since childhood. He initially saw her as a friend, but slowly fell in love with her[14] and has since tried impressing her.[15] They become a couple by the end of the season.[16] When Sasha returns and pushes her influence on Anne, Sprig steps up for her, telling her that Anne deserved better and that she had been a terrible friend to her.[17]
In season two, Sprig and his family travel with Anne to Newtopia to look for clues regarding the Calamity Box.[18] While on the road, Sprig displays natural hunting skills, which he teaches to Anne,[19] as well as perfect vocal mimicry.[20] Upon arriving in Newtopia, the group meets Marcy and Sprig becomes highly suspicious of her and protective of Anne due to their past meeting with Sasha. However, he ultimately accepts her as a friend.[21] Sprig is also revealed to be smart to a certain degree, as he was immediately accepted into Newtopia University despite his age, but later drops out due to the pressure.[22] In "Hopping Mall", he tells Anne that he does not remember his mom as he was young, news which brings him and Anne closer together.[23] Upon returning to Wartwood, he begins to openly date Ivy Sundew.[24] In "True Colors", he and his family accompany Anne back to her home in Los Angeles.[25]
In season three, Sprig and his family join Anne when she is transported back to Los Angeles.[26] He becomes particularly obsessed with being considered a Boonchuy as Anne is considered a Plantar.[27] He is revealed to be a natural in Sepak takraw.[28] He turns 11 in "Sprig's Birthday" and further reveals that his parents gave him his signature hat.[29] In "Spider-Sprig", he tries to become a superhero named Frog-Man, but gives up after realizing that he was simply seeking attention.[30] Sprig eventually returns to Amphibia with Anne and his family.[31] He resumes his relationship with Ivy, much to everyone's annoyance, but when the two of them nearly ruin a mission, they decide to pull it back a bit.[32] He also overcomes his prejudice with Grime and begins to take fighting advice from him.[33] Sprig becomes instrumental in defeating Andrias after reading him a letter he found that came from Leif, which is enough to drive him to tears.[34]
After Anne saves Amphibia from the Core, Sprig finally accepts that she will have to leave Amphibia for good and says farewell to her. In the epilogue, he has devoted himself to becoming an adventurer and prepares to travel to a new continent alongside Ivy.[35]

Hopediah "Hop Pop" Plantar is an orange Poison dart frog who is Sprig and Polly's grandfather and Anne's adoptive grandfather.[37] He is very protective of his grandkids, and was initially unsure of taking Anne in due to her strange anatomy.[6] However, he learns to welcome her after she owns up to accidentally breaking his cane.[38] Hop Pop is prone to be stuck in his old ways, but eventually bonds with Anne after realizing that they share a lot in common in terms of personality.[39] He was also bossy to the kids, but learns to be open-minded when Sprig brings him humility,[9] and is also opportunistic.[14] He is well informed about the Calamity Box, which brought Anne and her friends to Amphibia, but feigns understanding it due to its dangerous origins.[40] After operating as a beetle racer called "Wrecker", he buried it in his front lawn and has been hiding it from Anne since.[8] He was initially oblivious to the Plantar family's long history of being adventurers and explorers, but did not seem all that bothered upon learning this.[41] He had a long reciprocated love with Ivy Sundew's grandmother and Felicia Sundew's mother, Sylvia Sundew, who, upon returning to Wartwood Swamp, resumes her relationship with him.[42] Throughout the first season, Hop Pop struggles to keep his fruit stand up and running and ends up losing it when he cannot pay his debt; effectively putting him out of a job.[43] He fights against the system by running for Mayor against Mayor Toadstool, but loses after failing to reach out to the inhabitants outside of Wartwood Swamp. However, the Wartwood Swamp citizens build him a new stand to show their support.[44] It is later revealed that the Toads of Toad Tower view his efforts as a threat, as they unsuccessfully try to get rid of him.[17]
In season two, Hop Pop leads Anne and the Plantars to Newtopia in a "fwagon" (short for family wagon) and leaves their house under Chuck's care. He opts to leave the Calamity Box behind, claiming that he had a friend who was examining it.[18] While on the road, Hop Pop displays a heroic attitude[45] and further revels on his failed background as an actor, getting the chance to fulfill this dream, albeit with criminals.[46] While in Newtopia, he briefly has a crisis after realizing that he is not ready for Sprig to leave him[22] and learns from his friend Sal that he must embrace change and the future.[47] Anne figures out that Hop Pop had been lying to her about the Calamity Box. He soon reveals to her that he had feared losing Sprig and Polly, as years ago, while he was away herons killed their parents, and he has blamed himself for being unable to protect them. Anne forgives him for trying to hide the box and he agrees to help her continue her search for a way home.[48] In "True Colors", Hop Pop accompanies Anne back to Los Angeles along with his grandkids.[25]
In season three, Hop Pop and his family join Anne when she is transported back to Los Angeles.[26] He begins to view their time in Anne's world as important and does not want to be seen as unimportant or taking advantage of the Boonchuys.[49] He is revealed to be a natural at Khon,[28] and befriends Humphrey Westwood, an aspiring elderly actor who resembles him.[50] Hop Pop eventually returns to Amphibia with Anne and his family,[31] but along with his family end up returning to Earth when Andrias starts his invasion, during which the herons that killed his family confront him. With Anne's help, he overcomes this and tames them with help from Sprig and Polly.[34]
Following Anne saving Amphibia and her returning home alongside Sasha and Marcy, Hop Pop continues to garden, now including California Avocados. He is also shown to have settled down with Sylvia Sundew.[35]
Bill Farmer, who voices Hop Pop, named the character as one of his favorite roles.[51] He also felt he had a greater creative control on his performance as Hop Pop than other roles such as Goofy due to not being a pre-existing character.[52]

| Family | Sprig Plantar (older brother) Hop Pop Plantar (grandfather) Unnamed mother (deceased) Unnamed father (deceased) Anne Boonchuy (adoptive sister) Frobo (adopted younger brother) |
Polly Petunia Plantar is Sprig's outgoing and fearless polliwog sister, who loves adventure, monsters, and having fun. Despite being young, she has the heart of an explorer. Upon meeting Anne, Polly was disappointed that she was not a ferocious monster.[54] Polly spends much of the first season as a comic foil while being viewed as a helpless child, despite displaying abilities to the contrary. She is an expert spitter and does not like situating herself in typical "girly" roles.[55] She also has the ability to expel a powerful shriek, which she refers to as "singing".[56] She thinks that romance is gross[14] and loves to be in charge by displaying her cuteness.[11] However, Polly is shown to be frightened by scary things and does not like being alone,[57] and often needs to be saved from danger.[58] She once claimed that she has been eaten eight times throughout her life and "looks forward to it".[59] Nevertheless, she has gotten Anne and her family out of serious conflicts through determination and prowess.[41]
In season two, Polly, her family, and Anne head off to Newtopia to seek answers regarding the Calamity Box.[18] While on the road, she fears that she is considered a nuisance due to her young age, but realizes that her family loves her unconditionally. She is also shown to have the ability to conduct electricity,[60] and have perfect vocal mimicry.[20] Upon reaching Newtopia, Polly learns from Marcy that she will eventually grow legs in two months.[21] She also attempts to be closer to Anne by hanging out with her, though they end up causing trouble for everyone.[2] Sprig reveals that Polly never met their mother, as she was too little to know her.[23] Upon returning to Wartwood, Polly gets her first taste of responsibility after taking up Frobo, a robot frog that had been following the Plantars.[61] In "True Colors", Polly finally grows legs, though they are minuscule, and accompanies Anne back to her home in Los Angeles.[25]
In season three, Polly and her family join Anne when she is transported back to Los Angeles.[26] She is revealed to have picked up Thai language fluently after watching Thai rom-coms.[28] She attempts to rebuild Frobo, but ultimately only succeeds in bringing his head back to life. However, with help from the IT Girls, she also picks up knowledge on robotics and electronics.[62] Polly eventually returns to Amphibia with Anne and her family.[31] She later uses her newfound electronic skills to rebuild and upgrade Frobo.[34]
Following Anne saving Amphibia and returning home alongside Sasha and Marcy, Polly immediately grows a strand of hair. Some time later, she eventually becomes a full frog, though she still lacks a frog snout.[35]

Sasha Elizabeth Waybright[67] is a 13-year old human girl who is Anne and Marcy's childhood friend, whom Grime captured; she eventually became his new lieutenant after proving her prowess in battle. Despite her manipulative and bossy nature, she genuinely cares for her friends. After her capture, Sasha used her persuasive abilities to have the Toads be friendly and serve her. After two giant herons attack their tower, Sasha convinces Grime to take her advice so they can defeat them in battle. Pleased with the outcome, Grime makes Sasha lieutenant, a position she hopes to use to find her friends.[68] She eventually reunites with Anne at the end of "Anne of the Year" and reveals her connection with the Toads, inviting all of Wartwood to Toad Tower for a celebratory banquet.[16] While Sasha is happy to be with Anne again, she reveals the motivation behind inviting Wartwood to the tower, which is to sacrifice Hop Pop due to his status as an unintentional revolutionary symbol. Sasha duels with Anne to determine Hop Pop's fate, and initially has the upper hand. However, she loses the duel when Anne stands up to her, resulting in a scar on her right cheek. After One-Eyed Wally's exploding boom-shrooms destroy the tower, Sasha begins to fall off some crumbling masonry, but Anne and the Plantars rescue her. However, she realizes she has been a terrible friend and willingly lets herself fall, but Grime saves her and takes her away.[17]
Sometime later, Sasha tries to uphold Grime's reputation, as she is angered at his now lazy and unmotivated self. While battling General Yunan, Sasha admits that she does not want to lose Grime because he is her only friend, causing Grime to deduce that she misses Anne and believes she has permanently ruined her friendship with her. After defeating Yunnan, the two decide to take over Newtopia by force.[69] She proves her worth to the other Toad captains by helping Grime retrieve Barrel's Warhammer, during which she admits she wants to prove that she can make it on her own without Anne and Marcy after learning that they have teamed up. However, in the process, she loses Grime's remaining subordinates Percy and Braddock, who believe that she has become too harsh.[70] Sasha and Grime later reunite with Anne, Marcy and the Plantars, claiming that they have changed and want to help. She helps out with the third temple and recharges the pink gem, causing her to lose its power. Despite having supposedly been redeemed in Anne and Marcy's eyes, she and Grime contiunie their plan, which she now seems to regret due to how it would affect Anne and Marcy if it goes through.[71] Despite this, she denies having any sentimentality when speaking to Grime, but loses her temper after Anne and Marcy bring up her past misdeeds. She accepts that while she may not have changed yet, her friends have and must learn to cope with that.[72] She also learns to be less in control and more supportive when she, Anne and Marcy reform their garage band, Sasha and the Sharps.[73] She and Grime attempt to put her plan into motion, but discover Andrias' plans and attempt to stop him. She allows Anne to escape back to Los Angeles while she stays behind in Amphibia to help Grime thwart Andrias.[25]
Sasha ends up fleeing to Wartwood with Grime, where she begins to realize her actions resulted in Marcy getting severely injured. She finds Anne's journal and, touched by how much her friendship meant to her, decides to instead lead the Wartwood citizens to fight Andrias.[74] Between Anne teleporting to Los Angeles and returning to Wartwood, Sasha became a resistance leader in the fight against Andrias. Afraid that she will somehow ruin her friendship with Anne again, Sasha tries to pass command duties to her, but she turns out to be bad at it. Anne eventually reveals that she has renewed confidence in her to do the right thing, and Sasha takes command again. Sasha also decides that she and Anne will co-lead the resistances, and they both vow to rescue Marcy from King Andrias.[75] Her relationship with the citizens of Wartwood has vastly improved, though she admits that she has to make difficult decisions with them.[76] Sasha admits that she is upset with Marcy for putting them in the situation that they are in, but Anne tells her that she needs to learn to forgive, like she did with her.[77] Thanks to this, Sasha overcomes her past and frees Marcy from the Core's control.[34]
Sasha is eventually imbued with the power of the pink gem to help defeat the Core, but ultimately gives it to Anne so she can defeat it on her own. After the final battle, she and Grime say farewells before leaving. Ten years later, Sasha has earned a psychology degree and become a peer counselor for children, though still maintains her tough and determined spirit.[35]
While only implied and not outright stated within the show, Matt Braly has confirmed that Sasha is bisexual.[78]

| Family | Beatrix (sister) Magnus (uncle) |
Captain Grimothy "Grime" is a one-eyed cane toad and former ruler of Toad Tower. Early on in the series, he captures Sasha and believes her to be a spy after showing her Anne's missing shoe.[54] While intimidating, his army is composed of cowards who would rather do anything other than be guards for his conquered land. When two giant herons attack Toad Tower, he finds an unlikely ally in Sasha, who convinces him to be more accepting to his lackeys and be more positive and uplifting. After the Toads defeat the herons, Grime realizes the value that Sasha holds and makes her his lieutenant.[68] Some time later, Grime leads his army to capture the frogs in Wartwood following Hop Pop's failed effort to replace Mayor Toadstool and plans to have him killed. At his suggestion, Anne and Sasha battle each other, resulting in the destruction of Toad Tower. Grime rescues Sasha, showing that he genuinely cares about her well-being, and flees with the Toads.[17]
Since then, Grime has lost most of his army, leaving only Percy, Braddock, and Sasha, and has become a lazy, unmotivated moocher who spends his time on Sasha's phone. Newtopia has also branded him a traitor, causing him to become a wanted criminal, with General Yunnan pursuing him. However, Sasha inspires him to regain his former glory by creating a new army to take over Newtopia.[69] He makes a plea to the other Toad captains, including his younger sister Beatrix, to lead an army uprising against King Andrias and proves his worth after he and Sasha successfully retrieve Barrel's Warhammer.[70] They join Anne, Marcy and the Plantars in completing the third temple; while Sasha appears to finally feel accepted by her friends, Grime insists they continue with their plan.[71] He and Sasha stay with the Sundews while in Wartwood, where he displays a playful, jovial side.[72] Additionally, he is shown to be well learned with the harp and capable of playing beautiful melodies.[73] Despite this, he tries to usurp King Andrias for rule over Amphibia, but discovers that he already has his own plans. Grime ultimately helps Anne escape back to Los Angeles and stays behind.[25]
Grime and Sasha end up fleeing to Wartwood to escape Andrias. He plans to continue running and meet up with the rest of the toads that evaded capture, but Sasha convinces him to stay and defend Wartwood, ultimately taking her lead instead.[74] He is soon forced to train Sprig and, while initially annoyed, begins to acknowledge his skills and begins to respect him after they fight off a swarm of hybeenas, which are hyena/bee hybrids.[33] During the final fight with Andrias, Darcy slices off Grime's left arm while he is protecting Sasha, but he survives.[34]
Following Anne saving Amphibia, Grime and Sasha say their farewells before she returns to Earth alongside Anne and Marcy. In the epilogue, Grime works with the other races of Amphibia as an explorer and delegate of peace.[35]

Marcy Regina Wu[81] is a 13-year old human girl who Anne and Sasha's childhood friend, who found the Calamity Box in a shop on Anne's birthday and was teleported to Amphibia.[54] She serves as the brains of the trio, and is an expert but somewhat clumsy gamer. After she, Anne, and Sasha were transported to Amphibia, she found herself in Newtopia, where she was accepted by the inhabitants and became King Andrias' chief advisor and ranger. After spending months with them, she was reunited with Anne and was introduced to the Plantars for the first time. It becomes apparent that while she is still clumsy, she had become more adventurous and is capable of taking care of herself while also expanding her knowledge of Amphibian culture and anatomy.[21] However, she admits that she is jealous of Anne's ability to be social with those she meets.[82] Marcy spends most of her time trying to do research on the Calamity Box so that she, Anne and Sasha can return home.[2] Marcy and Anne come to accept that Sasha looked down on them despite caring about them, but still miss her and want to reunite with her to set things right.[83] Marcy ultimately stays in Newtopia while Anne and the Plantars return to Wartwood to retrieve the Calamity Box. However, Andrias approaches her with a proposition.[84] She arrives in Wartwood to aid Anne and the Plantars with recharging the first gem on the Calamity Box. During this time, she comes to realize that she struggles to disacknowledge problems around her and willingly forfeits one of the challenges. This ends up being the test, and they successfully recharge the gem, causing Marcy to lose its power.[85] Afterwards, she begins to live in the fwagon outside of the Plantars' house and experiences the same outcast treatment that Anne did when she first came to Wartwood, becoming more disappointed when Polly treats her poorly because she follows others.[86] She grows close to Maddie Flour due to their interests in magic.[87] Marcy later helps with completing the third temple where she happily reunites with Sasha.[71] "True Colors" reveals that Marcy knew about the Calamity Box's power all along. After learning that her parents were planning to move, she feared being alone and manipulated Sasha and Anne to steal the box from the thrift store in hopes that being transported to another world would keep them together. She helps her friends fight King Andrias after he reveals his sinister motivations and attempts to make amends by getting the box to create a portal home, but Andrias stabs her through the torso.[25]
Marcy's body is placed in a suspended animation tank and put a special outfit by the Frog-Bots to help her recuperate so King Andrias can make further use of her.[26] She is later rescued by Lady Olivia and General Yunan in an effort to overthrow King Andrias. However, she is captured again and used as a vessel for the Core when it uploads itself into a multi-eyed helmet that is placed on her, although Andrias tried to convince it to reconsider its choice for a host.[88] In this new form, she is referred to as Darcy (Dark Marcy).[89][90] Marcy's personality is kept in a prison designed to feed into her desires, which is to live in a fantasy world and stay forever with Sasha and Anne. However, she comes to realize this is fake and shatters the illusion. Sasha manages to free her and Marcy makes peace with the idea of moving now knowing her bond with her friends is stronger than that.[34]
Marcy is eventually imbued with the power of the green gem to help defeat the Core, but ultimately gives it to Anne so that she can defeat it on her own. Afterward, she says farewell to Olivia, Yunan and a repentant Andrias before returning to Earth. Ten years later, she has become a webcomic author, though is still clumsy and uncoordinated.[35]

King Andrias Leviathan is a towering Chinese giant salamander named after a genus of amphibians who is the king of Amphibia. While appearing to be a jovial and kindly ruler, he seems to be plotting something involving Anne, Sasha, and Marcy.[21] He loves riddles, as he has a habit of having Marcy go through a series of puzzles just to give her a simple message.[82] Upon first meeting, he is boisterous and happy-go-lucky, something that upsets his advisor Lady Olivia. He takes to many human customs and culture, such as a fist bump, and was glad to see Anne for the first time after Marcy told him about her, proceeding to give the Plantars his royal credit card.[93] He continues to study the Calamity Box with Marcy for most of Anne and the Plantars' stay.[2] After they leave Newtopia to retrieve the Calamity Box, he enigmatically approaches Marcy with a proposition.[84] It is later revealed that Anne, Marcy and the Plantars' mission involves undoing a prophecy so that Andrias and his mysterious master, a giant multi-eyed monster, can enact revenge. He briefs his master of their progress after cutting off Yunan informing him about the civil unrests, the meeting of the toad lords, and Grime still being at large.[85] "True Colors" reveals that he is evil and power-hungry. Many years ago, Newtopia was a thriving city, but lost its glory following the Calamity Box's disappearance. He wanted the box back not for knowledge, but for conquering other worlds. He battles Anne and her friends before witnessing her using the powers of the blue gem to fight back. As Anne and the Plantars escape through a portal back to Los Angeles, Andrias stabs Marcy through the torso, saying "Now look what you made me do!"[25]
In season three, King Andrias keeps Marcy alive in a suspension tank and now plots to kill Anne, as she is the only one capable of derailing his plans. He starts by sending one of his Frog-Bots called Cloak-Bot to kill her and obtain the latest copy of a novel series that Marcy got him hooked on.[26] After being displeased that it has not killed Anne yet and that it only got Book 3 of the novel series when Book 2 was sold out, he activates the Cloak-Bot's timer, giving it the rest of the day to kill Anne before its self-destruct sequence is initiated.[94] Back in Newtopia, Andrias reveals his multi-eyed master known as the Core, whom he communicates with via his crown. After Olivia and Yunan free Marcy, Andrias intercepts them and reveals he and the Core were watching them. He had used the DNA of the Moss Men due to their healing properties and the studies on the Shadowfish enabled the ancients to cheat death and be preserved in the Core. Under its command, Andrias uses Marcy as a vessel for the Core, despite genuinely caring for her and showing remorse for his actions, as he had asked the Core to reconsider its choice for a host.[88] In "Froggy Little Christmas", he expands his army and sends a remote-controlled drone to make up for the Cloak-Bot's failure. After its destruction, Darcy calls him "pathetic" and assures that his army will invade Earth to destroy his enemies once and for all.[89] "The Core & The King", reveals that he had two friends named Barrel, a toad, and Leif, a frog whom he is implied to have been in love with. When Leif warned him about a possible apocalyptic future involving the Calamity Box, Andrias' father, Aldrich, convinced him she is a traitor and she escapes, convincing him that he was betrayed and damaging his friendship with Barrel.[90] Andrias and Darcy soon launch their invasion of Earth. Seeing the frobots defeated, Andrias fights Anne in a Dyplosaurus suit, during which Sprig shows him a letter written by Leif. The truth of her feelings for him weakens his resolve to fight and convinces him to allow Anne to defeat him by destroying the suit, revealing that he had partially turned himself into a cyborg to prolong his life. His body is then brought back to Amphibia.[34]
Andrias ultimately overcomes his father's influence by crushing his crown in front of Captain Grime and helps Anne, Sasha and Marcy defeat the Core by sending his Frogbots to aid them. He says farewell to Marcy before she returns to Earth, having become repentant for his actions. In the epilogue, his eyesight and body have begun to deteriorate as he had chosen not to continue maintaining his cyborg body. Andrias has taken up gardening with help from a gardening Frogbot.[35]

The Core is an evil mechanical multi-eyed entity that King Andrias serves and is the primary antagonist of the series. It is an artificial intelligence composed of the collective preserved memories of Amphibia's greatest minds such as past scholars and rulers of Amphibia including King Andrias's father King Aldrich. After Marcy is revived, Andrias chooses her as the Core's host after failing to get it to reconsider its choice for a host.[88]
In this new form, they are referred to as Darcy (short for Dark Marcy). It appears again in "Froggy Little Christmas", mocking Andrias' efforts to destroy Anne and calling him "pathetic", but assuring that his army will invade Earth and destroy his enemies once and for all.[89] The Core begins to mimic some of Marcy's personality quirks and interests. Additionally, it is revealed to be a complex computer containing the memories of Andrias' ancestors, including Aldrich, as it can speak in his voice.[90] It is later revealed that, despite its extensive knowledge, such as anticipating the strategy from the film "War of the Warlocks", Darcy still does not know much about the Calamity Box; a fact that Anne uses to spare her life. By the end of "The Beginning of the End", Darcy launches its invasion of Earth.[77] Darcy goes face to face with Sasha and Grime, slicing Grime's left arm off and making a large cut in Sasha's back. Despite her taunts, Sasha defeats Darcy by slicing their neural link, freeing Marcy. However, the helmet sprouts legs and flees.[34] Once returning to Amphibia, it attaches itself to the moon (the newts having experimented on it in the past) and attempts to crash into the planet rather than accept defeat. The Core is eventually destroyed by Anne after she absorbs the power of all three gems.[35]
