Editing Adventure Time (section)

==Species and Kingdoms==
[[Mutant|Mutated freaks.]] Every single one.

Aside from the occasional visitor from other worlds and dimensions, all of the species in Ooo were either mutated by the Bombs dropped in the Great Mushroom War, or by the Magic that returned to the world soon after. 

As mentioned way up above, Adventure Time’s time periods are cycles of rebirth-destruction. Just as humans destroyed themselves and the world, it is implied the Candy People did the same in the far off future. Most of the different kingdoms and species that appear in Adventure Time are shown in varying degrees of sophistication and competence, but in general,. 

* Humans - Once the only dominant sentient species on Earth. They were pretty bog standard until they (nearly) wiped themselves out in the Mushroom War. After that their civilization suffered a significant decline due to most being either dead or mutated. It is worth noting that several groups (mostly tech-oriented) managed to ride out the apocalypse and establish themselves in secluded parts of the world of, even off-planet entirely. Finn actually originates from the former, being born on an archipelago inhabited by a technologically advanced society of humans that later make contact with Ooo.

* Candy Kingdom - The creations of Bonnibel Bubblegum who is herself a subspecies of a candy person. They inhabit the Candy Kingdom which is one of the most developed polities of Ooo. In the start of the series, the kingdom is portrayed as the stereotypical, children’s fantasy kingdom, complete with naive and childlike inhabitants. However, as the series goes on, the curtains get drawn on how Princess Bubblegum runs her eternal empire (her words): all candy people are candy creations, either made to fill specific purposes (banana guards), to populate her society, or even just for her own entertainment/see what she could do (she has a miniature version of gummy candy people that she messes around with on her down time, in the same way a kid with a magnifying glass messes with ants). Towards the end of the series, most of the candy people start to develop more complex personalities, even displaying their own aspirations and talents. They still all treat Princess Bubblegum as their God-Queen/Mother, though.
**Banana Guards: The [[Adeptus Custodes]], except with the IQ of children. So [[Matt Ward|Ultramarines]]. They even play tabletop. They’re horribly inept at their jobs, but serve with great obedience to Princess Bubblegum, even if they are pretty bad at fighting. Their inability to fight seems to be by design, however, as Bubblegum’s previous attempts at making soldiers-police, the [[Men of Iron|Rattleball Guardians]], were robots who eventually developed a thirst for violence. They’re good enough at policing the other, dumb candy people, and anything that will actually harm the Candy People will be dealt with by the [[Imperial Knight|Gumball Guardians]]. The Gumball Guardians are eventually phased-out for even bigger [[Imperator Battle Titan|Prizeball Guardians]], which are walking apartments/stasis chambers (PB is '''obsessed''' with ensuring her species lives on, [[Great Crusade|to the point of seeding other worlds to do so]]).
**Lemon People: A subspecies of Candy People. Originally, there was only one of them, the Earl of Lemongrab, a sour, selfish, narcissistic asshole, and one of PB’s failed experiments. Is cripplingly lonely and self-conscious, on the account of being a sour, selfish asshole, who was exiled by his own mother soon after his creation. Eventually given a twin who is supposed to be just like him (Lemongrab 2), but eventually they get lonely by themselves and [[Chaos Spawn|so fill their castle with Lemon-based, Junji Ito-level Abominations]]. The Lemongrabs are a lot closer to PB’s personality than she wants to admit.

*Fire Kingdom: Notable for their Princess, who was Finn’s Ex, but also because they were created by the Sleeping Fire Giants, superweapons developed pre-Great Mushroom War humans (specifically, the same dude who built BMO). Princess Bubblegum fears the Fire Kingdom, both because of its unstable inhabitants, and also because of the literal [[Ordinatus]] they keep in their volcanic basements.
