•
Ovide (voiced by
Thor Bishopric) – A blue
platypus who is the main character of the series. The unofficial leader of the group; he is also smart, responsible and kind. •
Saphron (voiced by
Terrence Scammell) – A yellow platypus who is Ovide's cousin. He is a good cook and gardener. •
Polo (voiced by Terrence Scammell) – A feisty red lizard who always carries around a broom. The island's janitor and the "tough guy" of the group, he is always trying and failing to catch Woody, a destructive
woodworm. •
Groaner (voiced by
Dean Hagopian) – A white
toucan who is one of Ovide's friends. His name comes from the fact that he is always telling weak jokes which make people groan. •
Doe, Rae & Mi – A trio of
koalas who are always shown sitting on branches or the couch. Their names come from the first three
solfège syllables, and they visually represent the
three wise monkeys: Doe wears
headphones listening to music (Hear no Evil), Rae wears
sunglasses (See no Evil), and Mi almost always covers his mouth, and sometimes
hiccups (Speak no Evil). •
Matilda – A female
kangaroo. Not originally from the island, she mistook the others for cannibals and hid from them, but then warmed up to them. She is skilled with herbal remedies and with the boomerang. She is first seen in episode 18. •
Cy Sly (voiced by A.J. Henderson) – A vain, scheming, megalomaniacal
python who is the primary antagonist of the series. He is jealous of Ovide and wishes to overthrow him and gain control of the island. •
Bobo (voiced by Terrence Scammell) – Cy's bumbling,
keel-billed toucan minion and only friend. He refers to Cy as "Boss". Despite his association with Cy, he has a good heart and wishes Ovide and his friends no ill-will. Bobo is also let off the hook a lot, unlike Cy who always suffers the consequences. •
Woody – A mischievous woodworm who tunnels around the island. He is known to alter the state of bowling games and gnaw holes into the base of Ovide's home. He is in constant conflict with Polo. •
Alvin – A blue
three-toed sloth who lives in the forest of the island. His role in the cartoon is (more often than not) very minor and the only word he can pronounce is "Aye". •
Newscaster Lady – A pink-haired platypus whose name has not been revealed. She is the constantly-occurring face on television and the information she provides is beneficial to Ovide (and even Cy at times). ==Role of television in
