The Custodian Of Avalon is a character who appears in the 1980s cartoon show episode "Handy's Sweetheart". He guards the Pool of Avalon from anyone who takes its magical herbs and flowers without paying for them, and is rather vicious and selfish in his dealings. He wears a pair of magic boots that allow him to control the waters of the pool, causing them to thicken and to turn to quicksand in order to trap trespassers.

In the episode, Smurfette, Lazy, and Grouchy went to the Pool of Avalon to get some lilyroot in order to heal Marina's father King Aquarius. The custodian found them trying to take the lilyroot without paying for it and trapped them within the waters, demanding gold for payment. When Smurfette told him that they don't have any gold, he turned the water into quicksand, intending to drown them. Handy and a few other Smurfs, who went up to the pool to rescue Smurfette and her team, lured the custodian into a trap where they removed his boots so that Handy could wear them in order to rescue the trapped Smurfs. With the custodian tied to a tree, Smurfette tried to reason with him that there are more important things in life than gold, but his attention was diverted to the bag of smurfberry cookies that Hefty was carrying, wanting to get his hands on them. Smurfette, however, wouldn't let the custodian have the cookies unless he lets them take the lilyroot in exchange and he promises to stop being selfish. The custodian agreed to those terms and let the Smurfs go in peace with the lilyroot while Hefty gave him the bag of cookies to enjoy. He also made a speechless cameo appearance during Laconia and Woody's wedding in "Smurfily Ever After".

His voice actor is Arte Johnson.
