The Wiseman

"So, young woman, the way forward is sometimes the way back"

Bird on his head: "Will you listen to this crap!

The False Alarms

Rock faces who call out warnings to Sarah.

Hoggle: "Don't pay any attention to them, they're just false alarms. You get a lot of them in the Labyrinth, especially when you're on the right track."

Hoggle: "Shut up!"
False Alarm: "Sorry. Just doing my job."
Hoggle: "Well you don't have to do it to us."

False Alarm: "Beware for the..."
Hoggle: "Just forget it!"

Ludo

Giant, ginger haired shaggy "monster" who has rocks as friends.

The Door Knockers

One with a ring through his mouth, the other with one in his ears. So one can only mumble, the other can hardly hear.

The Fireys

These kooks literally lose their heads over Sarah. Singing and dancing, and juggling their heads, legs etc.

"Hey lady, it's against the rules to throw other people's heads. You're only allowed to throw your own head!"

The Bog of Eternal Stench

Okay, not strictly a character but it definitely makes it's presence felt. The noises it makes more than conveys the smell that goes along with it :-)

Talk Back

Sir Didymus

Decidedly dippy foxy doglike creature, who seems distantly related to Basil Brush (fellow Brits of a certain age will know the puppet I mean).

(At end of movie) "I say, does anyone here want to play a game of Scrabble?"

• • •

Ambrosius

Sir Didymus' faithful hound. An Old English Sheepdog who seems to change from being a real dog to a puppet on occasions throughout the film ;-)

• • •

Goblin Cannonball

Yes, even the cannonballs have arms and legs, and speak... "I hit something, yes?"
"Hey, I just fired you!" - Goblin Guard to the cannonball jumping around going "Ouch" beside him.

The final lines in Labyrinth:

Sir Didymus: "And remember, fair maiden. Should you need us..."
Hoggle: "Yes, should you need us for any reason at all."
Sarah: "I need you, Hoggle."
Hoggle: "You do?"
Sarah: "I don't know why, but every now and again in my life, for no reason at all I need you. All of you."
Hoggle: "You do!?" Well why didn't you say so?"
