Adventure Timeis filled with colorful, goofy, and occasionally creepy characters, and Lemongrab might be the most complete mix of all three characteristics.Over 10 seasons ofAdventure Time, dozens of cute, funny, evil, heroic, and everything-in-between characters have been introduced to flesh outthe show’s extensive lore. Of all the strange kingdoms in the Land of Ooo, the Earldom of Lemongrab may be the strangest, and it’s ruled by the tyrannical, if often laughable, fist of the Earl of Lemongrab.
