Inde- Leader of the local force of rebels. He stages several battles against the king's army. Ends up getting captured and hung near the films end.
Ami- She's supposed to marry Inde, but never gets around to it with all the happenings and goings on. After pricking her finger with a sewing needle, a drop of her blood falls upon the miniature Pulgasari that Takse made, thus bringing it to life. She ultimately sacrifices her life to destroy the creature she gave life to.
Ana- Ami's high pitched brother. Just sits around and cries a lot.
Inde's Mother and Brother- Beaten to death.
General Fuan- General who's called in to specially handle the "Farmer's Army." He fails to do his task because of Pulgasari.
Governor- Sniveling ruler of the Korean village. He always gives the king and other military officials bright ideas.
The King- Ruler (of Korea?) who harshly controls his nation. Stomped on by Pulgasari.
Pulgasari- Takse created this bull horned monster with some rice and dirt. After being splashed with a drop of Ami's blood, Pulgasari comes to life and begins to eat all the metal and iron in the entire area. After he serves his purpose, he becomes somewhat of a nuisance. To get rid of the metal-munching monster, Ami tricks Pulgasari into eating her (I'll explain later on), causing Pulgasari to turn into a statue and crumble.
General Fuan: "So that was the strength of the government's elite force?!"
Army: "We are ashamed!"
Old Man: "I raise my hands to that appetite!"
