Ned as he appears on the video game.

Ned Needlemeyer is the titular protagonist of both the Nightmare Ned game and TV show. He is a bald-headed, glasses-wearing 10-year-old boy who has a hyperactive imagination, using it to deal with his fears, troubles and anxieties through dark and quirky nightmares. He lives with his mother Hilda, father, Ed and his baby sister. He has also his grandfather, Ted, who has appeared only in the video game, and not the show.

In the game, he acts young for his age, panicking after he trips on the phone cord in the intro, shivering under the covers during the storm and running after mom when she leaves his room in the "Bad" ending.

In the show, he acts like his age, if not more. Being sarcastic, laid back and a bit braver than in the video game. He still acts kiddish and freaks out over the smallest things like eating dog food by accident, losing a baby tooth, being in the school play, and other minor issues. Ned's catchphrase is "I gotta get out of here!" When he is in danger in his nightmare.                    

He is voiced by Courtland Mead in both the video game and the TV series.
