Note: This page is only for the Farmworld version of the Lich. For his prime counterpart, see here.

The Lich: You've bested me in many worlds, child, but I always return.
Finn: You're so evil, it's boring. You're basic, man.
The Lich: Yes. While a mortal world doubts and questions, I know exactly what I am. I am the Ceaseless Wheel. The Last Scholar of GOLB... I am your doom.
~ Farmworld Lich in Whispers.
BURN. Heroes of Ooo... it's only a matter of time...
~ The Lich revealing himself to Finn and Jake in "Together Again".

The Farmworld version of the Lich is the secondary antagonist of Adventure Time franchise, appearing as a major antagonist in the Cartoon Network 2010-2018 series of the same name and the main antagonist of the 2020-2021 HBO Max limited series Adventure Time: Distant Lands special "Together Again".

He is an alternate incarnation from the Lich that was born when Finn the Human wished that the latter never existed, but this inevitably leads to the spirit of the Lich entering into Farmworld's Jake the Dog and corrupting him into a new vessel. The Farmworld's Lich later tries to turn the version of himself that became Sweet P back into the original Lich before being seemingly vanquished by the young boy, though even death doesn't prevent him from threatening all life.

Like his prime counterpart, he was voiced by Ron Perlman, who also voiced Mr. Grasping in An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island, Slade in Teen Titans and the Podestà in Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio.

What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]

  • Shares the same moral agency as his original counterpart considering their only differences are when and how they came into being.
  • He manipulates the Farmworld version of Finn the Human into freezing everyone into ice blocks so they would not stop their Empire of Frost, and gathering the gems to complete the Enchiridion-making him believe they were opening a portal into a better world, when in reality, he planned to destroy the entire multiverse once again.
  • Forcibly brainwashes the Destiny Gang leader Big Destiny so he could recover the Enchiridion's gems for him and Farmworld's Finn.
    • He then released him so Big Destiny could try to escape only to be frozen by Farmworld's Finn.
  • Opens a portal to the multiverse with the Enchiridion so he could multiply himself and annihilate all life in all universes. To do so, he forced Bobby, the Farmworld version of Billy, to use his gem nose, despite Bobby's obvious refusal to not do so.
  • Attempts to use his Death Breath to kill Jake the Dog.
  • Tries to kill Farmworld's Finn the Human once he realized that he no longer had Ice Powers due to giving one of the Ice Crown's three red rubies to the Enchiridion to open the portal, despite the Farmworld's Finn helping him in his goals.
    • What makes this even worse is that Farmworld's Finn is the best friend of Farmworld's Jake the Dog, the host body of Farmworld's Lich, but he still tried to kill Farmworld's Finn despite knowing that's something Farmworld's Jake would never do.
    • He even tries to manipulate Farmworld's Finn into following his orders and not try to visit the Multiverse by assuring him that he and his family will always die in wherever dimension they visit, and lying to him by saying that they would save the world with the Enchiridion, proving that he only used him as a pawn to achieve his own goals.
  • After his main body was destroyed by Finn the Human and Farmworld's Finn as well as Prismo rewriting the Farmworld reality to ensure the Farmworld's Lich's non-existence, he still makes his way through other dimensions thanks to Finn cutting one of his hands and Jake accidentally throwing it into the dimensional portal, sending many hands of his to different realities over the multiverse, where they tried to kill all life only to be stopped by different Finns.
    • What's more, by corrupting Farmworld's Finn into Ice Finn for a long time before the Farmworld reality was rewritten, this allowed Big Destiny and the Desting Gang to take over the town by claiming to have defeated "The Snowman", outlawing any magic and ruling with an iron fist.
  • Through a hand of his Farmworld version that made his way to Ooo, the Lich looks for Sweet P, his "rebooted" form, and tries to restore his original form by whispering things to him while sleeping, psychologically tormenting the kid so he would assist him in his goals.
  • Fights against Finn and Fern when they tried to get him out from Sweet P.
  • Knocks Finn into the Well of Power and tries to drop him into it again, only for Sweet P to save Finn and kill the Lich by declaring that he would never be part of him.
  • One of his hands finds its way to the Land of the Dead, where he sways New Death to his side, convincing him to kill Death, his father, so New Death could become his father's successor.
  • By possessing and manipulating New Death as his literal right-hand, the Lich Hand has New Death prevent the souls of the dead from reincarnating so he could stop new life from emerging in the mortal world, likely doing so until Jake and Finn passed away and found themselves in the Land of the Dead.
    • In a similar way to Farmworld's Finn, he never considered New Death as a friend despite New Death viewing him as so, telling the deceased Finn and Jake that "the spawn of Life and Death was a creature without purpose" and he was only a pawn in his quest to end all life.
  • It's implied that he convinced New Death to place many souls in the 1st Dead World, which kept them in torment, even though some of those souls weren't genuinely bad in life.
  • Indirectly tricks Finn and Jake into fighting each other for the Kiss of Life, knowing that the two would fight against each other to sacrifice for the other, because if any of them killed New Death, the killer would be forced to serve as his replacement forever.
  • Attempts to attack Finn, Jake and Mr. Fox with a scythe, which would have likely condemned all three of them to a fate worse than death given how it's established that if Death kills a soul in the Land of the Dead, such soul's essence is scattered into quarks, which New Death implies doesn't fully kill the soul.
  • Following New Death's demise at the hands of Mr. Fox, who becomes the new Death in turn, the Lich Hand tries to manipulate Mr. Fox just like he did with New Death by promising to be his strong right-hand, before Jake gets rid of him once and for all.
  • Even though he is the living incarnation of a catalyst comet that hits the Earth every 1,000 years, out of all the servants of GOLB, he is the only one to have developed actual sapience and control over his own actions as the rest and even GOLB himself are mindless beings of destruction, showcasing restraint out of pragmatic means, and also proudly affirming he knows exactly who he is while the mortal world still has doubts and questions. With this, especially when taking every other servant of GOLB in comparison, the Lich knows he is evil and has control over his actions, and thus, has moral agency.
  • While it is implied he has loyalty to GOLB, it is likely because he enjoys the destruction GOLB causes then genuinely having loyalty to GOLB
