This is a list of characters that appear in the Shrek franchise.
Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers in the films and Michael Gough in the video games, spin-offs, commercials and other media) is the titular character: a large, grumpy green ogre and the lead character in all of the Shrek films. Chris Farley was originally cast to be the voice of Shrek, but he died before he could complete his voice work. He had finished 85–95% of his lines.
Donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy in the films, Mark Moseley in the video games, and Dean Edwards in Scared Shrekless and Thriller Night) is a happy-go-lucky talking donkey, and Shrek's best friend who has a deep obsession with singing and waffles.
Princess Fiona (speaking voice by Cameron Diaz, singing voice provided by Sally Dworsky in the first film, Renee Sands on all other occasions, and Holly Fields in the video games) is the princess of the kingdom of Far Far Away and Shrek's wife from the end of the first film on.
Puss in Boots (voiced by Antonio Banderas in the English, Spanish and Italian versions of the films, Eric Bauza in The Adventures of Puss in Boots and The Trident, vocal sounds and purrs provided by Frank Welker, and voiced by André Sogliuzzo in the video games, commercials and other media) is Shrek's best friend along with Donkey. He is also the lead character of the Puss in Boots films and the TV series based on it. He is inspired by the fairy tale "Puss in Boots" and the character of Zorro.
Kitty Softpaws (voiced by Salma Hayek Pinault in the films and Margo Rey in The Trident) is a declawed, thieving bicolor cat introduced as Puss' love interest in the prequel spin-off Puss in Boots and later reunited with him and rekindling said relationship after Santa Coloma in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
Perrito (voiced by Harvey Guillen) is a friendly and naïve dog who is initially disguised as one of Mama Luna's pet cats and wants to become a therapy dog. Since the end of the film, he officially names the trio "Team Friendship". His name means little dog in Spanish.
Dragon is depicted as a ruby-colored dragon, initially known as the guard of the tower in which Princess Fiona awaits her rescuer in the first film, later becoming Donkey's mate.
Gingerbread Man (voiced by Conrad Vernon), nicknamed "Gingy", is from the fairy tale of the runaway cookie. In the first film, Shrek, Lord Farquaad kidnaps him and tortures him for information, but Gingy refuses to reveal Shrek's location. After being freed following the death of Farquaad, he joined Shrek and the others, and in Shrek 2 he becomes one of their best friends. There is an echo in the second film, where a gigantic gingerbread man baked by The Muffin Man helps storm the castle.
Pinocchio (voiced by Cody Cameron) is drawn ultimately from the Italian novel The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, with animation reminiscent of the 1940 Disney version. Starting from Shrek 2, he becomes one of Shrek's best friends and he fulfils his dream of being turned into a real boy, but in a few moments he is made of wood again.
Three Little Pigs (voiced by Cody Cameron) are the pigs from the classic fairytale. They are distinguished by their hats and are some of Shrek's best friends. They speak with a German accent.
The Big Bad Wolf (voiced by Aron Warner) is the wolf from the story of Little Red Riding Hood, dressed as a grandmother. Starting with Shrek 2, he becomes one of Shrek's best friends, helping him along with his other companions, and he sent the Fairy Godmother flying. He is usually quiet, with a dry and monotonous voice.
The Three Blind Mice are based on the English nursery rhyme of the same name. They are three albino mice with sunglasses and wooden canes and with a British accent.
Lord Farquaad (voiced by John Lithgow in the films, Andre Sogliuzzo in Shrek Smash n' Crash Racing, Piotr Michael in DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing) is the narcissistic, ruthless and short ruler of the huge castle of Duloc. He is based on Richard III of England as depicted in Richard III (1955 film), and is an enemy of Shrek.
King Harold (voiced by John Cleese) is Fiona's father. He made a pact with the Fairy Godmother involving blackmail against him to get Fiona to marry Charming and he is actually the Frog Prince.
Queen Lillian (voiced by Julie Andrews) is Fiona's mother. Along with King Harold, and despite being more understanding than her husband, she is also initially surprised to see her daughter turned into an ogre and married to Shrek.
Fairy Godmother (voiced by Jennifer Saunders in the films, Claudia Christian in the video games, and Pinky Turzo in Thriller Night) is a scheming, conniving opportunist, loosely based on the fairy godmother from the fairy tale "Cinderella".
Prince Charming (voiced by Rupert Everett in the second and third films, Sean Bishop in Scared Shrekless, James Arnold Taylor in video games) is the son of the Fairy Godmother, who pretends to be Shrek in an effort to win Fiona's heart and marry her.
Dronkeys are the six children of Donkey and Dragon, a hybrid of both dragons and donkeys. They are first introduced in a post-credits scene.
Doris (voiced by Larry King in the US, and Jonathan Ross in the UK) is one of Cinderella's ugly stepsisters, and a great friend and confidant in Fiona's group of friends. After being encouraged by Shrek and his friends to quit her old job as a waitress at the Poison Apple bar, she joins Fiona and the other princesses in the third film, and later reunites with her sister Mabel.
