The Bad Idea Bears[]
- Complete Monsters: Defied. They might appear to be as such given that they're more or less there to tempt Princeton into doing increasingly stupid and/or destructive things, especially when they try to persuade Princeton to kill himself, but it's gradually made clear that they're just plain amoral rather than actively, maliciously evil.
