Major Characters

Mr. Wolf is a predator with a long rap sheet of eating pigs and grandmothers. He wears a black suit and a white cowboy hat in an effort to appear respectable and friendly. Tired of being feared by the world, he serves as the enthusiastic but flawed leader of a new club aimed at performing heroic deeds. He struggles to understand what being "good" actually means and often resorts to his aggressive, predatory instincts to accomplish his goals.

Key Relationships

Leader and Friend of Mr. Snake

Leader and Friend of Mr. Piranha

Leader and Friend of Mr. Shark

Mr. Snake is a sarcastic and irritable reptile with a criminal record of eating pet store animals. He possesses a sneaky grin and shows zero initial interest in Mr. Wolf's plan to become a good guy. He prefers to serve his own goals and struggles significantly to suppress his natural predatory instincts during the group's early missions.

Key Relationships

Reluctant Teammate of Mr. Wolf

Teammate of Mr. Piranha

Teammate of Mr. Shark

Mr. Piranha is a chaotic, outspoken fish who operates entirely out of his natural element on land. Known for eating tourists, he brings an abrasive energy to the group. He accepts the physical abuse and bizarre situations the team puts him through without holding a grudge, demonstrating a surprising tolerance for his teammates.

Key Relationships

Teammate of Mr. Wolf

Teammate of Mr. Snake

Teammate of Mr. Shark

Mr. Shark is a massive, imposing predator whose size often prevents him from fitting properly into his surroundings. He maintains a perpetually hungry, somewhat clueless demeanor.
