History
Roughly a thousand years ago, a devastating war known through the land of Ooo as the Mushroom War took place throughout the world. Although the cause of the war remains unknown, its name suggests that nuclear weapons were heavily used during the conflict, and thus was most likely World War III. The exact year(s) that the war took place have never been stated, though it can be concluded that the Mushroom Bomb was dropped sometime after, at the earliest, 1985. It is most likely that the war itself ended through the release of an atomic doomsday weapon known as the Mushroom Bomb. After the war, it left much of the planet devastated and devoid of much life, with most if not all Human technology scattered in complete ruin. Numerous cities were left abandoned. In spite of so much destruction of the world. It is stated that some years following the initial aftermath of the war, a major climate change developed, implied to have been a result of the war and the dropping of the bomb, creating a Nuclear Winter that drove what remaining Human tribes were left to more isolated pockets of the world, leaving the rest to be ruled by foreign creatures.

Geography
After the events of the war, Earth had undergone drastic changes, most in part thanks to the release of the Mushroom Bomb. According to the planetary structure, the Mushroom Bomb was so powerful that 20 to 30% of the planet was destroyed, leaving nothing but a colossal crater in its wake. This also resulted in severe climate change, mainly from a Nuclear Winter. This alter numerous ecosystems and climates for a time: the currently known "Desert of Doom" for example, evidence by the marine skeletons and numerous shipwrecks, was once apart of a seaside civilization prior to the Mushroom War.

Despite the drastic changes to climate, many areas still retain similar appearances and similar ecosystems to that of pre-Mushroom War Earth, although subtle changes to the wildlife and flora are strongly evident.

= Fauna = Despite the destruction from the war, the land slowly began to recover and soon life was once again allowed to freely inhabit the earth. Only a few signs of the nuclear devastation remained in Ooo. Along with the rise of new civilizations, such as the Candy Kingdom, a diverse variety of intelligent life settled down in Ooo. Many were able to recover or develop technology for their own use. Despite this, most human technology is current lost.

Countless species and races had developed after the results of the Mushroom War, and while normal animals still exist the vast majority of them are mutated or entirely new species altogether. Most likely nine out of ten were the result of exposure to radiation and adapting to the drastic climate change.

Backrubbers
The Backrubbers are oval-shaped creatures. They are generally blue or green. They all have varying symbols sticking out of their heads, similar to antennae of some sort. They have short legs with relatively long arms, making their hands almost touch the floor. One of them is notable for being the only purple member of congress, possibly denoting him as the leader.

Dewdrops
They are small, green humanoids with leaves as clothing or hair. By Dewdrop law, anyone who partakes in the food of the underworld, shall be compelled to return to live among the Dewdrops.

Food People
Throughout the Land of Ooo, numerous humanoid species and races evolved and mutated into being from various food, most of which are human-based and not naturally created. While not the strongest species, these are the most widespread creatures, and come in a variety of forms and cultural structures.

Breakfast People
The Breakfast People inhabit the Breakfast Kingdom, ruled by Breakfast Princess, Toast Princess, and Strudel Princess. They are similar to the Candy People in the way that they're edible, their bodies made up of foods associated with breakfast (pancakes, toast, eggs, bacon, etc.). They live in the main castle and the surrounding ravine in which orange trees grow, within the desert.

Candy People
The Candy People are the primary citizens of the Candy Kingdom, created and ruled by Princess Bubblegum. The Candy People are typically happy race of life forms created from a variety of "candy." The Candy People are of low intelligence and have a high-sense of gullibility. Princess Bubblegum has described them as mercurial, but not "dillweeds." Candy People have a tendency to explode when scared. The Candy People have numerous subspecies as well:


 * The Cake People appear to all have purple clothes with cakes for heads. Some Cake People have their faces on the side of the cake while others have their faces on the frosting part. The location of their face determines how the cake is positioned on their heads. Somewhat like the Banana Guards with their canes, most Cake People carry guns. Citizens have been seen wearing hats, jackets, and pants. They serve as both citizens and guardians of Gumbaldia.
 * The Lemon People have varied appearances, resembling animals, plants, and fungi more than humanoids. They are mostly yellow and resemble lemons in some way while others are green and likely are supposed to be limes. Most of them are chubby and all of the Lemon People seen thus far have been male.
 * The Gum people naturally take the appearance of humanoids composed of bubblegum, having pink hair and skin tones. All Gum People currently existing can trace their existence to the "Gum Mother" - a mass of mutated bubblegum.

Sassy People
The Sassy people are a race of creatures made from pizza. Their faces are made of cheese, presumably with tomato sauce underneath, lined with pizza crust. Many Sassy People who work at Pizza Sassy's wear a green sweater with a pizza logo on the top left.

Veggie People
The Veggie People are the inhabitants of Veggie Village. They appear to be normal fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, watermelons, squashes, and so on.

Wildberry People
The Wildberry People live in the Wildberry Kingdom under the rule of Wildberry Princess. They Wildberry People all resemble a variety of berries. They are carnivorous and use meat for relaxation purposes

Grass People
Grass People come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some are blades of green grass, while others are clumps of soil with grass for hair. The grass roots form their arms and legs. The one giving the speech about beetles has a yellow flower growing on top of his head.


 * Grass Lump People are presumably a subspecies of Grass person. They appear to be very bland, sock-puppet like figures. Some have two arms, some have one arm, and some have no arms.

House People
House people are humanoid, box-shaped creatures that live inside houses for their clothes or as shells. When idle, they are mistaken as miniature houses, and are the natural prey to Why-Wolves.

Humans
Humans are a critically endangered species in the Land of Ooo. It is hinted that they were driven to near-extinction roughly a thousand years before the events of Adventure Time, with Finn currently being the few of his kind throughout Ooo. Human society used to be in full bloom, with the existence of advanced technology and large, highly-populated cities. This all changed however after the result of the Mushroom War, which led to the near-extinction of the human race. The humans directly affected by the bomb were either instantly killed or heavily mutated. Tribes of survivors began departing the continent of Ooo until they arrived at a set of islands southwest of Ooo, and founded new human colonies and isolated themselves by building a robotic Guardian to keep any human from leaving or any danger from entering.

Hyooman
Hyoomans appear mostly humanoid except for their distinctly ichthyoid heads. Although the particular fish-like features vary from Hyooman to Hyooman, they often include various fins and gills and are always localized to the area of the head surrounding the face – never on the face itself. Because of this, it can be difficult to tell fully clothed Hyoomans apart from ordinary humans, as their animal hats obscure their mutant countenance. Hyoomans have yet to be observed in an underwater environment, so whether their fish-like appendages are functional or simply vestigial has not been determined.

Mudscamp
They look like fish with two legs, and they produce stink oil out of their awful-sauce glands.

Oozer
They are all various shades of green, brown, and yellow, and blue, and have various numbers of holes in their head for their eyes and mouths, out of which oozes a glowing green substance. The ooze that comes out of them is very corrosive, and scanning the bodies reveal high concentrations of radiation.

Pillow People
As the name suggests, they are fabric-based beings who resemble stuffed pillows, while others appear more as cushions or linen casings. They are generally humanoid appearance, but also come in various sizes, shapes, and colors.

Slime People
Slime People are a species that reside in the Slime Kingdom, which is located beneath the Bad Lands. The ruler of the Slime People is Slime Princess.

Spikey People
As their name implies, the Spiky People are covered from head to foot in sharp spikes. They have very tall, conical bodies, short legs, and long arms with no fingers or hands. It is likely that their skin is metallic, based on the noises made when they touch each other. They live in the Spiky Village within the desert and are led by the Spiky Mayor.

"Villagers"
They are round, ankle-high creatures that all white except for their noses, which vary in color. The Villagers are very kind and open to everyone, even outsiders. Despite their friendly nature, some Villagers are expected not to talk to strangers and are verbally disciplined if they do so. The Villagers are so friendly to the point that they sacrifice their own well being in favor of assisting others.

Worm People
The Worm People are worm-like beings with bulbous heads and green stripes. They range in size from normal worm size to significantly larger than Humans. Some worm people seemed to be able to radiate waves from their heads, though mostly this is used as a defense mechanism.

Blank-Eyed Girl
Blank-Eyed Girls are a name given to an unspecified elemental creature. They first appear where they haunt people in the Land of Ooo and by the end reveal their final form. They look like thin clouds in the end, the human-like form being no more than a suit, though it's never confirmed if they are truly air elemental in nature, or just take the form of such.

Cloud People
They look just like clouds, though they are humanoid. The Cloud People are usually naked, though some had been seen wearing clothing. The Cloud People seem very causal and uncaring.

Fire People
Flame People (or Fire People) are humanoid beings whose bodies are composed of fire or other fire-related materials such as magma. They can vary greatly in size and shape. Most hail from the Fire Kingdom and exhibit a varying degree of control over fire. While it is claimed that all Fire people are malicious and "Evil", some individuals don't seem to have evil intentions, suggesting that the Flame people are victims of prejudice.

Snow Golem
Snow Golems are creatures made of snow that live in the Ice Kingdom. They resemble tall humanoids made of snow. They have ovular heads and normally have long limbs. They come in many sizes; some are smaller than a Human, while others are as tall as trees. They are also a pale blue color.

Water Elemental
A Water Elemental is a creature that is apparently composed of and/or controls water.


 * Water Nymphs are water spirits from traditional folklore, in this case depicted as having moving bodies of water for hair and wearing swimsuits. The Nymphs are known for their lack of being able to tell a good joke without messing it up.

Animals
Animals in Adventure time are a mix between normal animals and mutated ones. Numerous common animals exist in the land of Ooo even after the Mushroom War, though most (if not all) animals are anthropomorphic in nature, or at the least are highly intelligent. Still there're some unique forms of life that came to existence:

Bat Bug
Bat bugs appear to be bugs with wings similar to bats. They have various shapes and sizes. They have a green skin color and a green eye color.

Battle Cube
Battle cubes are giant, white, geometric cubes that float and emit lightning bolts when one side of them begins blinking pink. Even though they seem harmless, they are very dangerous. They can shoot black lightning, and they can fly/float.

Crabbit
They are hybrids of rabbits and crows, as can be seen on their rabbit-like ears, crow body and beak, and the puffy rabbit-like tail. Crabbits appear to have the ability of shapeshifting.

Dragon
The dragon's anatomy is not consistent with most portrayals of dragons. It has two sacs on the sides of its neck which appear to be related to its ability to breathe fire, tiny wings for rear legs, a tail that splits into two and slightly curls, and a bottom like that of a baboon. It also has what appears to be a series of teats running the length of its belly, suggesting that it may be a mammal.

Fire Wolf
Fire Wolves are creatures that inhabit the Fire Kingdom. Like many wolves, they hunt and travel in packs. They have black fur with what look like orange-red cracks on them. Their eyes are bright orange with red pupils. Adult wolves can grow up to be very large in size to the point that they can be used as mounts.

The bodies of Fire Wolves are shown to be very hot and can easily burn wood or melt snow. Fire Wolves will sometimes emit flames from the cracks on their bodies. This characteristic makes them natural enemies of ice-based creatures such as the Snow Golem. However, the two species can interact without conflict as Fire Wolf Pup's pack allows it to play with the Snow Golem.

Jiggler
Jigglers look like two spheres joined by a thin middle section. They have many holes on their body, which their noodly arms and legs can move in and out of at will. They are half blackish-gray and half white on all parts of the body. Fully grown Jigglers can grow taller than the height of a house. When angry or fed specific foods, a Jiggler will flare up and rapidly change colors. The Mama Jiggler looks the same as her children, only larger. Finn describes the Jiggler as looking like "two jiggly bellies stuck together."

There is a juice inside of the Jigglers that they need to live, and the mother uses the juice's scent to tell which babies are hers, likely because they can't make their own scent.

Lard
Lards are a type of limbless creature. They share a common trait in a bulbous nub somewhere on their rounded bodies.


 * The sea lard is a plump, orange, and slightly oval creature. It has a dangling lump of flesh on its forehead and a similarly-shaped nose with a few hairs on it. Sea lards closely resemble Greed Lards and Space Lards but are smaller and, unlike Greed Lards, wingless. The lard has a slothful reputation due to its slow movements on land. Sea Lards are mammalian, and can survive outside aquatic environments.
 * Greed Lards bear a slight resemblance to Sea Lards and Space Lards, with a similar rounded nose and head shape. However, they have incredibly large bodies and can come in various colors. The Greed Lards also have small wings that allow them to fly at high speeds. The lards also have a hole on their head which allows them to emit steam when angry. They often feed on treasure.
 * Space Lards are plump, cyan, and slightly elliptical creatures. They each have a dangling lump of flesh on their foreheads and a similarly shaped nose with a few hairs on it. Overall, they closely resemble Sea Lards and Greed Lards. Although little is known about the lards, they seem to live in groups and spend their time moving around space in formations.
 * The grass lard is semi-large and resembles a dolphin. They are capable of surviving for over a thousand years with little to no food or water.

Lub Glub
They appear as harmless pool toys in cute shapes like ducks, a dolphin, a snake, a pony, and an octopus. They are actually vicious shadow beasts that prey on the Hyooman tribe, as one was seen gnawing meat from a skull.

Mind Frog
Mind Frogs are a species of Frog. They appear to be normal, green frogs with the face of whatever you are thinking about. If stared at for too long though, they become agitated and attack.

Moldos
Moldos are blob-like creatures. They look like blobs with arms and no feet. They have big eyes with pupils, unlike most characters in the show. They all have unusually big lips. Each Moldo had either pink, blue, green, or brown skin. They also have unusually sharp teeth.

Despite the seemingly primative appearance, Moldos actually have a surprisingly developed system, their leaders "democratically elected".

Pageling
Pagelings are sentient forms of origami, and considered guardians of libraries. The Pagelings' normal forms resemble origami shaped like humanoids or animals. They can turn into different origami-like shapes. When in the form of a paper airplane, they can fly. Also, they can (literally) dance as flowers. They are not very tough; when Finn witnessed their battle with the Moldos his yawn was significantly more dangerous than the Pagelings' blows.

Rainicorn
Rainicorns are unicorn creatures with almost a full rainbow of colors down their body. They range in length; some are the size of average horses, but others exceed this length by a large amount, almost serpentine in anatomy in cases. All Rainicorns possess the ability to fly by intercepting beams of reflected sunlight and "dancing around on them." They also have the ability to change the color of any object by shooting it with a chromatic beam fired from their horns, and the power to stretch their bodies out to various lengths. They also age much faster than other creatures.

Transformation Ghoul
Transformation Ghouls or “Ghoul dudes” are aquatic, serpent-like creatures. They can appear to be whatever their opponent is thinking about. However; in their regular form, they take on a bland look, with a serpent-like body and a ghost-like face. Some also appear to have arms. Like their name suggests, Transformation Ghouls have the ability to transform into pretty much anything no matter the size or mode of transportation. However; there is a major downside to this ability. They can only transform into what their foe is thinking about, even if it isn't to their advantage.

Varmint
Varmints are a species of critters that lurk in the Rock Candy Mines. Varmints have large sets of teeth and have a greenish skin tone. They have an outer sort of shell and four legs. The Mother Varmint is much bigger and has multiple extra legs. The queen Varmint (the Mother Varmint) is superior to all of the other Varmints, spewing eggs from her tail that hatch smaller Varmints, having the ability to re-grow arms, and having great strength.

Wolf Man
Wolf Men, also known as werewolves, are a species in Adventure Time and are generally feared by the inhabitants in the Land of Ooo. Wolf Men have the appearance of large, bipedal wolves and resemble werewolves in popular media. Their bodies are hunched forward and covered with dark blue or violet fur. Their eyes are yellow with red slit-like irises in the center.


 * Hug Wolves look much like werewolves in that they are large bipedal wolves. Their notable feature is "hearts" for hands, and their desire to hug others to satisfy their desires. Those hugged by an alpha hug wolf under a full moon become beta Hug Wolves themselves.
 * Why-Wolves are monsters that resemble resemble classic, modern werewolves, although by simply tearing away tufts of fur, they transform into more civilized versions of themselves, in which they wear gray suit tops and glasses. One was seen smoking a pipe. Some Why-wolves have two heads with one eye on each. They have a more inquisitive nature, and will sometimes pause to give lectures. One Why-wolf explains that their species is possessed by the spirit of inquiry and blood-lust. If left unchecked, the Why-wolves would eat the House People and grow in population until they attract the Cosmic Owl, who will subsequently devour them.

Zombie
The Zombie is a species of undead creature. The only known ways to becoming a Zombie is either by being bitten/scratch by another Zombie, or by being risen from the dead. Once infected, the bitten turns undead, resulting in their skin turning darkish green and very veiny. Additionally, their eyes turn completely green and their arms and limbs get a rather crooked form.
