I got Clayfighter 63 1/3 for christmas from my mom. Heres what some random inet site says about the characters.
Characters
There are 12 bizarre fighters in ClayFighter 63?, some from previous games in the series, but most debuting in this game. The first nine are available for play immediately, and the latter three are hidden characters (shown below) that can be unlocked with cheat codes. Nevertheless, all appeared in the re-release of the game, ClayFighter 63?: Sculptor's Cut
* Bad Mr. Frosty The Killer Snowman (voiced by Jim Cummings)
Once again reformed, Bad Mr. Frosty is a grouchy snowman who seeks to halt Dr. Kiln's sinister plot and reclaim the North Pole from Sumo Santa. Frosty battles by transforming his frozen body in various ways, creating snow balls, ice picks, and other such weapons. Frosty tends to punch and kick his opponents by leeringly growling, "Call me Daddy!" He's one of the few characters to appear in all three games in the series, though his appearance has changed greatly in each game. He may be an evil version of Frosty the Snowman.
* Blob (voiced by Frank Welker)
An amorphous green blob with a dopey grin, the Blob may not look like a skilled fighter at first glance. In actuality, Blob is a master of morphing, transforming his body into cannons, sledgehammers, boxing gloves, and many other weapons. Blob also has an appetite for living clay, and thinks nothing of gobbling up a downed opponent for a quick snack. Blob has also been in all three games in the series. In previous games, the Blob had a high-pitched voice and a sadistic grin, but for this outing he's been given a Quasimodo-like voice and a dopey expression.
* Bonker (voiced by Rob Paulsen)
A former children's entertainer, Bonker went insane years ago and now seeks revenge on anybody who laughed at him in his life. With a perpetual scowl on his face and a somber tone of voice, Bonker's homicidal mania belies his flamboyant dress and makeup. Attacking with cream pies, mallets and a portable cannon, Bonker has many ways to make his enemies suffer. He's a returning character from the first game, with a completely different design: the original Bonker had a manic grin and a cheerfully goofy voice.
* Kung Pow (voiced by Jess Harnell)
Rather resembling a bucktoothed Bruce Lee, Kung Pow is a Chinese chef who is also skilled in the martial arts. He wears a white gi, and his dialogue is peppered with bland tidbits of dubious "Oriental" wisdom. Most of Kung Pow's attacks are named after Chinese food (like Egg foo young, Chop Suey, etc.), and he uses utensils such as chopsticks, woks and meat cleavers as weapons. Many of his attacks are parodies of Dan Hibiki, who is himself a parody of SNK and other Street Fighter characters. His name is a reference to kung pao chicken.
* Houngan (voiced by Jim Cummings)
An evil Jamaican witch doctor and master of voodoo, Happy Harry Houngan has a sinister set of abilities to aid his quest of conquering the world with his black magic. Houngan's main weapon is his rubber chicken, which he has transformed into a zombie. Houngan also sports a juju staff, and a wooden tiki mask to use as a bludgeon (or a snowboard). Some of his attacks cause rotting zombie hands to reach out of the ground and grab his opponent. When he enters the Battle Stage he then rotates his head around which is parodying The Exorcist.
* T-Hoppy The Killer Rabbit (voiced by Charles Adler)
A cyborg rabbit, T-Hoppy was created as a living weapon by Doctor Kiln (by combining the formerly-good warrior rabbit Hoppy from Clayfighter 2 with mechanical implants) until he rebelled against his creator. Now T-Hoppy fights to destroy the evil scientist who created him and find some purpose in his life. In addition to great physical strength and cybernetic implants, T-Hoppy is also an accomplished stage magician. In ClayFighter 2, Hoppy had an Austrian accent, poking fun at Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the T in his name refers to Arnold's role as The Terminator, but Adler chose to go with a generic "drill sergeant"-style voice. Hoppy is also the only new character from C2 Judgement Clay to return, all of the other 4 were cut.
* Taffy (voiced by Tress MacNeille)
A former circus freak and partner of Bonker, Taffy is a bizarre creature made entirely out of, fittingly enough, taffy. This gives him incredible flexibility and agility. Taffy also carries gumballs as throwing weapons and carries a pair of six-shooters. He frequently imitates Curly Howard of The Three Stooges, especially Curly's "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" line. This vocal similarity was more noticeable in the original Clayfighter, where Taffy originated.
* Earthworm Jim (voiced by Dan Castellaneta)
The mightiest worm in all creation, Earthworm Jim is vacationing on Claymodo Island when he hears of Doctor Kiln's mad scheme. Never one to let evil have its way, Jim springs into action, showcasing all the head-whipping, raygun-blasting, cow-dropping action his fans love. He's a guest character from his own series of games and Dan Castellaneta reprises his role from the cartoon series. In Sculptor's Cut, However, Jim was only playable as a secret character.
* Ickybod Clay (voiced by Frank Welker)
Ickybod Clay is a withered ghoul with a mushy Jack O'Lantern for a head. Icky resides in his own haunted mansion, although his squeaky voice and rather geeky personality do not make him the terrifying fiend he aspires to be. Among his many attacks, he can throw his own head as a weapon, has a parody shoryuuken called the Boo-Hoo Ken, and can teleport. He also appeared in the original ClayFighter, but with a more whispery and creepy voice. His name is a pardy of Ichabod Crane.
[edit] Locked Characters
* Sumo Santa (voiced by Jim Cummings)
An evil duplicate of Santa Claus (in fact, the game implies that he is Santa Claus) clad in little more than a loincloth. Megalomaniacal Sumo Santa has conquered the North Pole as his own, and only Frosty stands in his way. Grotesquely obese but surprisingly agile, Sumo Santa enjoys using his ponderous girth to smash the competition flat.
* Dr. Kiln (voiced by Charles Adler)
Dr. Kiln is the main villain of the piece. After being indirectly responsible for the chaos in Clayfighter 2 (he's mentioned in the Clayfighter 2 manual, but doesn't appear in the game itself), his latest scheme is to transform the entire world into clay, which he can then mold into whatever he wishes. After accidentally dipping his hand into the giant clay meteor, Dr. Kiln was forced to amputate his hand, which he replaced with a mechanical prosthetic. This new hand can transform into a propeller, a machine gun, a chainsaw, jumper cables, a scalpel, and other dangerous weapons. Meanwhile, his lost hand grew, gained sentience, and became High Five, a hidden character in Sculptor's Cut. With his opaque eyeglasses, hunched back and thick Germanic accent, Dr. Kiln is very much the consummate mad scientist.
* Boogerman (voiced by Dan Castellaneta)
Another hero from previous gamesas games, Boogerman joins the fracas to save the day and show up his old rival Earthworm Jim. Boogerman uses bodily emissions such as mucus, belches, and explosive flatulence against his foes. He can also summon a barrage of falling toilets.

My fave was Taffy, But my Dads was blob. He got so good with that character that he was almost unstoppable.
