Main
- Wufflebump is a purple rhinoceros-like monster who lives in a volcano. He is the leader of the young monsters. He can be clumsy, as he often trips over his own tail. His Italian name is "Burlagiu".
- Icklewoo is a yellow goat-like monster who lives in a Dutch flower windmill. She doesn't roar as loud as the others do, as she is the smallest and a little shy. Her Italian name is "Minilu".
- Yummble is an orange monster with three eyes and legs who lives in a giant mushroom and loves to eat. He is best friends with Wufflebump. Because of his appetite, he can have a hard keeping any kind of food where it is by gobbling it up and breaking the adults' rules of not eating them at the wrong times. He has tons of favourite foods, and is shown having super stretchy arms. Unlike the other students, he can't sing out of tune and his singing is all in tune. His Italian name is "Iammi".
- Meepa is a green alien-like monster who lives in a tree flat and has four hands. She likes to say her name twice, as she can never stop talking. She has a love for monster animals, and has the most flexible body out of anyone in the School of Roars. Her Italian name is "Mipa".
- Wingston Waftywing is a blue bat-like monster who lives in a castle and is the smartest. He is depicted as the fastest monster in the school thanks to his wings, size, and energy. His Italian name is "Wingy".
- Miss Grizzlesniff is a pink-red tyrannosaurus rex-like monster and the teacher of the School of Roars. Her catchphrase is "Oh, my claws!" She's one quirky teacher.
