These five characters are also peculiars and also live in Miss Peregrine's home, but play a less significant role in the overall action.

• Playful Olive defies gravity, and has to be held to the ground with either rope or specially heavy boots.

• Claire has an extra, very sharp toothed mouth in the back of her head which is concealed by long curls.

• Wild haired Fiona can control both the growth and behavior of plants.

• Excitable Hugh has bees growing in his stomach, and unleashes them during violent bouts of emotion.

• Horace is always overdressed in formal clothes, and has the ability to envision the future.

All five of these peculiars, along with Emma and the other three, join Jacob and Miss Peregrine at the end of the novel in their quest for both Miss Avocet and a new loop within which they can realize safety from wights and hollowgasts.
