Ovide and The Gang - Main Characters

Main Characters

• Ovide — The main character of the show. A duck-billed platypus, he is the unofficial leader of the group, and is smart, responsible and kind hearted.
• Saphron — Saphron is Ovide's cousin, and also a platypus. He is a good cook and gardener.
• Polo — A red lizard who always carries around a broom. The island's janitor and the "tough guy" of the group, and he's always trying and failing to catch Woody, a destructive woodworm.
• Groaner — A white toucan, and one of Ovide's friends. His name comes from the fact that he's always telling weak jokes which make people groan.
• Doe, Rae & Mi — Protagonist koalas, always on twigs or the couch. Their names come from the first three solfège syllables, and they visually represent the three wise monkeys: Doe wears headphones hearing 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 — The primary antagonist of the show. He is a vain, scheming, megalomaniacal python. He is jealous of Ovide and wishes to eliminate him and gain absolute control of the island.
• Bobo — Cy's bumbling, Keel-billed toucan minion and only friend. Refers to Cy as "Boss". Despite his association with Cy, he has a good heart and wishes Ovide and his friends no ill-will.
• 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.
