[edit] Main Characters
[edit] Fur Foot
Fur Foot (Voiced by Terrence Scammell) is the leader of the Toad Patrol and the oldest out of the toadlet siblings. He uses a cougar claw, called a "hook," for various purposes including grabbing onto objects and climbing, but never anything violent. The claw was given to him by Mistle Toad. Although he didn't influence the creation of the Toad Patrol, he is often looked up to thanks to his strong leadership qualities and courage.
[edit] Beauty Stem
Beauty Stem (Voiced by Sonja Ball) is the second oldest and is somewhat of a mother figure towards the younger toadlets, particularly Panther Cap. She eventually begins to acquire the talents of a great Healer from a wandering Toad Healer known as The Outsider, she learns many techniques and becomes of great importance to the group. Beauty Stem's special item is "shine," a dust she gathered from fireflies. She can use this to cast light even in the darkest of night. Earth Star takes an interest in Beauty Stem during their first meeting, much to Elf Cup's dismay. While Beauty Stem paid no attention at first, she came to return his affection as the series went on.
[edit] Elf Cup
Elf Cup (Voiced by Nancy Neilson) is the third oldest as well as the second youngest of the three female toadlets. She is cheerful and playful, but rather stubborn. She plays a hollow reed, called a "tooter," which is similar to a penny whistle. It was given to her by a Tunnel Toad. She has shown great musical talent with it, and it comes to be beneficial to the Toad Patrol in the future. Because of her musical talent, she naturally is very fond of Earth Star.
[edit] Shaggy Mane
Shaggy Mane (Voiced by Neil Shee) is the fourth oldest and is named for his yellow, shaggy hair. Shaggy Mane's contribution to the group is somewhat questionable at first. He has a knack for getting himself and others into trouble, which causes him to run away at first. With the help of Earth Star, he comes to realize his greatest contribution which is his ability to name things. He is classified as "The Giver of Names" because of this, and he has named many things from the "Yellow Ball" (the sun) to the "Rumble Crushers" (automobiles). He acquires a very beneficial vine, which he calls a "coil." He is good at making up poems on the spot, and his higher sense of culture begins to play a larger part in interpreting the writing of the Ancients.
[edit] Puff Ball
Puff Ball (Voiced by Rick Jones) is the fifth oldest. He is tall, very strong, but somewhat fat. He actually looks older than the others and is fairly mature despite being one of the younger toadlets. His natural strength and endurance, as well as his down to earth thinking saves the Toad Patrol several times. Puff Ball is a bit of a pessimist, and often sees the downside to things. While this aggravates the rest of the group at first, they eventually begin to see it not as something negative, but merely him keeping things real and in perspective. Puff Ball comes into possession of a powerful hammer called the "Thunder Stick," which is actually a piece of branch from a Thunder Tree. He pulled it from a beaver dam to quell a forest fire. Combined with his strength and straightforward thinking, he becomes an invaluable asset to the group and helps support his friends and family both physically and emotionally.
[edit] Oyster
Oyster (Voiced by Bryn McAuley) is the second youngest along with her twin, Slippery Jack. She is somewhat insecure, but nonetheless acts as the group's main source of comedy relief and cheerfulness. Her special item is called a "see-all," a sort of telescope created from a crystal found in Crystal Caverns and a hollow branch. She doesn't really have any special skills (a fact she brings up late in the series that she feels extremely ashamed about), but her neverending optimism and energy is a far greater contribution than she may be aware of. In fact, she is the very one who came up with the idea to call the toadlets group the "Toad Patrol."
[edit] Slippery Jack
Slippery Jack (Voiced by Brady Moffatt) is the second youngest along with his twin, Oyster, and wears glasses. He carries around birch bark to create maps, called "pathfinds", given to him by Earth Star. Being by far the most intelligent of the group, Slippery Jack is good at solving problems. With great skill in map making and strategizing, he is an invaluable asset to his friends and family. Because of his intelligence, Slippery Jack feels awkward around the others often and has a somewhat odd way of speaking. This bothers him for much of the series but eventually he realizes that he doesn't need to be anything but himself with his friends. He hates it when the other toadlets refer to him and Oyster as "The Twins," or refer to him as "S.J." He comes to form a strong friendship with Shaggy Mane late in the series.
[edit] Panther Cap
Panther Cap (Voiced by Sonja Ball) is the youngest of the Toad Patrol. While Panther Cap is passive and shy, he is one of the most important characters. Panther Cap, like Slippery Jack, feels like the odd one out. This is due to the interesting destiny which seems to have fallen upon him. Panther Cap has the ability to hear the words of the Thunder Trees, which helps the toadlets to find the all-important Fairy Ring and has other great uses as well. While afraid of the voices at first, Mistle Toad encouraged Panther Cap to embrace his ability to hear the Thunder Trees and lead the others to the Fairy Ring. Panther Cap carries a "pointer," a small acorn which points the way to the next Thunder Tree he must speak to. In the second season, it is revealed that Panther Cap may have abilities that have not been seen since the time of the Ancients. He is able to hear their spirits and even learns a powerful incantation that appears to control water and possibly most natural things in the forest. The extent of his full potential is not yet known.
[edit] Earth Star
Earth Star (Voiced by Michael O'Reilly) is a minstrel toadlet, born a year before the toadlet siblings, who carries a banjo called a "strumalong" and wears sunglasses. He is a mysterious toadlet whom was part of a disastrous expedition of toadlets prior to the series. This group was doomed to miss the Fairy Ring and all turned into Toadstools. Somehow, he turned back to normal and found the main characters a season later. Earth Star is extremely friendly and helpful, despite keeping his distance at first. It is later revaled that he harbors deep fears of having more friends turn into Toadstools and wants to remain alone, but in his heroic efforts to take Panther Cap through the Fairy Ring before it closed, he came to enjoy life in Toad Hollow. While his musical talent is great, and admirable to Elf Cup, his quick thinking and acting often makes him almost as influential to the others as Fur Foot. He takes an interest in Beauty Stem when they first meet, and constantly flirts with her despite her initial lack of acknowledgment. She later starts to return his affection. While often easygoing, he later fears that if he leaves Toad Hollow again, he will revert back into a Toadstool.
[edit] Mistle Toad
Mistle Toad (Voiced by Long John Baldry) is a mysterious sage that befriends the Toad Patrol not long after they begin their journey. He is very knowledgeable about all things and is capable of taking care of himself as well. He acts as a sort of guide for the youngsters and appears here and there to help them. His appearances become more numerous however as the series progresses. He is also the catalyst for the second season, having found a long lost scripture of the ancient Toads which may hold the key for freeing the lost Toadlets once and for all. Unfortunately, he is accidentally frozen and telepathically calls for the help of the Toad Patrol.
[edit] Minor Characters
[edit] Erebus
Erebus is one of the main villains of the series, he is (what appears to be) a hognose snake. He constantly hunts the Toad Patrol until the end of the second season.
[edit] Medea
Medea is the other main villain. The name suggests a female, but it is never fully explored. Medea has the appearance of an Osprey, a bird of prey that specializes in fish, but will evidently go after toadlets too.
