He was also featured in solo adventures throughout the 1990s until 2003 when he returned as a villain for the Annihilation story arc.
Tinky Winky
Tinky Winky is a purple Teletubby who lives in Teletubbyland with his friends. He is the first of the main four to be introduced and has been on television since 1997.
Tinky Winky is unique because he does not have an antenna on his head, but instead has a triangle antenna.
While this may seem like it would make him stand out from the other Teletubbies, Tinky Winky actually shares some similarities with them: he likes to eat food, play games and dance around with his friends.
Mad Madam Mim
Mad Madam Mim is a villain from the movie The Sword in the Stone. She is a witch who uses magic to try to defeat Merlin, but this only causes trouble for herself and others.
Mad Madam Mim is voiced by actress Margaret Hamilton, who also played the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz.
Grimace
Grimace is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the McDonaldland television commercials and the 1970s Happy Meal Gang. He is a large, purple, anthropomorphic creature who speaks with a high-pitched voice. As his name implies, he has a grimace on his face at all times.
Grimace first appeared in 1971 as part of what was called "Operation X" to create new characters for Ronald's friends. The idea was to have people like Ronald McDonald interact with these new characters rather than just other humans (see Mayor McCheese).
Danny Kallis created Grimace while working as an animator at Filmation Studios. Kallis named him after one of his favorite foods (grape jelly) and designed him to be "evil-looking."
Ursul

She appears as a large purple octopus-like creature with long tentacles wrapped around her body like hair or clothes; she has a long nose that resembles an elephant's trunk at the bottom of her face (which you can see if you look closely).
Her name means "the golden one" or "of gold" which could refer either to her skin color or be related to how she was named after a type of shellfish called urchin that looks like gold when cooked correctly (but tastes bad).
Twilight Sparkle
Twilight Sparkle is a female unicorn pony from the show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. She is one of the main characters in the series and one of Princess Celestia's most promising students. Twilight is also the leader of the Mane Six, as well as their representative to Princess Celestia.
Twilight has purple hair that reaches down past her shoulders, with two strands sticking out on either side above her eyes, along with a purple coat and tail.
The only exception to this are her muzzle and lower legs which are pink, though this may be due to not being an earth pony like Applejack (who shares these features).
Dizzy Devil
Dizzy Devil is an orange cartoon character from the cartoon series Tiny Toon Adventures and The Looney Tunes Show. Dizzy Devil is a member of the Flock of Seagulls, a group of misfit birds who live on Wackyland. He is voiced by Jim Cummings.

Bing Bong
Bing Bong is a character in the 2015 Disney/Pixar film Inside Out. He is Joy's imaginary friend, who is a smiling cloud with eyes and a mouth.
As an imaginary friend, he has no physical form (although it can be assumed that he does have some kind of body because he used to ride on top of Joy's wagon), but when he was alive as Riley's imaginary friend, Bing Bong had defined arms and legs, his arms being able to stretch out infinitely.
In the film, Bing Bong was voiced by Richard Kind.
