Character Relationships in Epic

Ronin (played by Colin Farrell) is a protagonist in Epic. A no-nonsense Leafmen leader responsible for protecting Nod. He assists M.K. in transporting the royal pod, scolds Nod for negligence, creates a diversion during the Boggan infiltration, and ultimately sacrifices himself to ensure the group's escape before surviving to help defeat Mandrake. Mary Katherine (M.K.) (played by Amanda Seyfried) is a protagonist in Epic. A skeptical teenager who reluctantly inherits the royal pod after Queen Tara's death. Shrunk to microscopic size, she journeys with the Leafmen, bonds with Nod, helps infiltrate Boggan territory, and ultimately uses her father's technology to help bloom the pod and save the forest. Mandrake (played by Christoph Waltz) appears in Epic. The ruthless leader of the Boggans who seeks to destroy the forest. After his son Dagda is killed, he hunts the royal pod, believing it will birth a dark prince if bloomed in darkness. He kidnaps the pod and allies with bats, but is ultimately destroyed when the pod blooms in moonlight. Nod (played by Josh Hutcherson) appears in Epic. A rebellious Leafman soldier who initially wants to quit but is recruited for the mission. He develops a romance with M.K., learns the value of teamwork after a moment of negligence, and ultimately joins forces with Ronin to defeat Mandrake and protect the forest. Bomba (played by Jason Sudeikis) appears in Epic. M.K.'s eccentric scientist father who spends his life researching the Leafmen. Initially dismissed by his daughter, he captures her, briefly doubts his life's work, but ultimately embraces the truth, aids the mission by tracking her, and resumes his research with M.K. as his assistant. Mub (played by Aziz Ansari) appears in Epic. A laid-back slug who initially shares the royal pod with Grub. He joins the journey to deliver the pod, gets kidnapped by Mandrake, and attempts to help stop the villain alongside Nim Galuu. Grub (played by Chris O'Dowd) appears in Epic. An aspiring Leafman snail who shares the royal pod with Mub. He travels with the group, gets captured by Mandrake, and plays a minor role in the journey to protect the pod. Queen Tara (played by Beyoncé) appears in Epic. The benevolent ruler of the forest who tasks M.K. with delivering the royal pod. After a Boggan attack leaves her fatally wounded, she entrusts the pod to M.K., shrinks her to microscopic size, and dies, setting the main quest in motion.
