A black-wooled lamb who becomes Wilbur's close friend in ''Charlotte's Web 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure''. He's considered the outcast among the Zuckerman sheep because of his wool, so he begins to act more like a pig in Wilbur's company.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The other lambs in Cardigan's flock waste no time letting him know that they think he's a loser and a freak because he's different from them.
* BlackSheep: Literally, and the only one on the farm, making him the object of ridicule and rejection.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Somewhat doubles with IJustWantToHaveFriends. It's clear that the bullying and exclusion Cardigan experiences from his flock hurts him a great deal, and he openly admits to Wilbur that he sometimes wishes that he was like the other lambs so they wouldn't make fun of him.
