Characters

Main characters

• Wide Eye the Owl – The title character of the series, an old owl who lives in the tallest tree in the forest with his young son, Little Hoot and his sidekick, Flea. Wide Eye is fatherly, gentle and reliable. He mostly watches over all the animals to make sure they are all safe and happy and speaks in a deep voice.
• Little Hoot – – Wide Eye's young son. He is brave and strong, he speaks in a high-pitched voice, is full of adventure and imagination, can see in the dark and is always eager to learn, although like many children, he is sometimes daunted by new challenges.
• Flea – – Little Hoot's childlike sidekick and best friend. She can jump the highest and is always ready to join in with Little Hoot's adventures.
• The Natterjack Toads – Three green and orange toadlets who live and play at Natterjack Pond. Their names are Nat, Flo and Jack.
• Mother Natterjack – A female orange toad who is mother of the Natterjack Toads.
• Great Grandma Toad – Another female orange toad who is grandmother of the Natterjack Toads. She wears purple glasses and often cooks healthy meals for all the natterjack toads to share.
• Father Natterjack – A male green toad who is father of the Natterjack Toads.
• 99 the Centipede – – A dozy, bumbling centipede who lives alone in a burrow dug deep into the Natterjack forest floor. Easily distracted, he tries his best to count and match his many pairs of coloured boots, but he keeps losing count, and he is forced to start over and over again.
• Conchita the Chinchilla – A blue and white chinchilla who is the Chilean-accented, friendly and kind-hearted soul of the forest with good eyesight. She lives under the roots of a tree. She dances and sings and enjoys cooking South American food for all the forest animals to share. She is often seen wearing exotic Chilean clothing.
• Rangatang the Orangutan – – An orangutan who lives in a treehouse. He often plays jokes on the other forest animals as well as bringing fun and games to the forest and running a corner shop.
• Hetty Hornet – A hornet who lives in a beehive and likes the forest to be clean and tidy. She always tries to keep the other forest animals on their toes by handing out useful little tasks to keep them busy.
• The Fireflies – Several nocturnal fireflies who appear at night in Natterjack Forest. The fireflies themselves only make buzzing sounds instead of saying words.
• Wily Komodo – The main antagonist, a komodo dragon who appears in almost every episode in the series. He almost always causes mischief in Natterjack Forest. He lives in a rocky, roofless den with his young son, Baby Komodo, and because time is never on his side, he causes nothing but mayhem wherever he goes.
• Baby Komodo – Wily Komodo's young son who is still fond of swimming, but also apparently friends with Little Hoot and Flea. Although he desperately wants to be as silly as his dad, Wily Komodo, as well as be friends with all the other natterjack forest animals, his main skills are dribbling, running, and even din-making.
• Batwing the Bat – Wily Komodo's only spy. She sleeps upside down in her rocky cave located on the outskirts of the forest and can fly unaided, even by night.

  Guests/Mentioned

• The Moon – A real, faceless, silent moon which appears every night of the year in Natterjack Forest. The moon is not always seen in the sky, but its only role is to brighten up the darkness in the forest between dusk and dawn every day of the year.
• The Sun – a real, silent, faceless, dazzling, sun which appears during various episodes, including Snapdragon Monster and The Forest Regatta. The sun generally shines in the sky above Natterjack Forest between dawn and dusk every day of the year, and although it is not always seen in the sky, it is by far the most important source of energy for life in the forest.
