- Norman -
- Virgil - Virgil, a birdlike humanoid, is the last living Lemurian, and Max's mentor. He is over ten thousand years old, and knowledgeable of both past and future; but often frustrated by Max's carefree ways and frequently reminded of having mentored Skullmaster, the later destroyer of his people.

Controversy[]
Many audiences felt the shows dipiction, and discription of violent acts was excessive. Most episodes would begin with the feature monster killing a victim (or victims). The series finale also managed to kill two of the main characters forcing Max to face Skullsmasher alone. The emotions associated with such is often seen as too much for the targeted preteen audience.
