| 50 | * TheCaptain: He leads the underwater crew. |
| 51 | * DreadfulMusician: He can't play the accordion, his awful playing once attracted a pod of orcas. |

| 80 | -->'''Voiced in English by:''' Rob Rackstraw |
| 81 | -->'''Voiced in Finnish by:''' Creator/AnttiPaakkonen |
| 82 | -->'''Voiced in Spanish by:''' Rodrigo Saavedra |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Barnacles' first lieutenant. Kwazii is an impulsive cat with a mysterious pirate past. He believes in so many different kinds of sea monsters and legendary beasts that he's also considered the crew's cryptozoologist instead of just a lieutenant. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | * AdaptationNameChange: Downplayed, his surname was "Kitten" in the books. |
| 87 | * AdventurerArchaeologist: For all that he proclaims that he's a pirate, Kwazii's interests in exploring mysterious places and locating artifacts has him much closer to one of these. |
| 88 | * BerserkButton: When Kwazii's around, you treat Captain Barnacles with ''respect''. And it does not matter even if you don't know who he is. |
| 89 | * CaptainCrash: It's not that Kwazii can't bring a craft in safely, but safety is one of the first things he overlooks when he gets overly excited. Tweak [[LampshadeHanging lampshades this]] when repairing the GUP-B at one point. |
| 90 | * CatchPhrase: "Shiver me whiskers!" |
| 91 | * CuteKitten: Not an actual kitten, but this counts. |
| 92 | * EarNotch: He has a small chunk taken out of his right ear. |
| 93 | * EyepatchOfPower: To go along with the pirate theme, as well as to emphasize his action-oriented nature, he bears one. A few times, he lifts it to reveal that it's just an affectation and that both of his eyes work fine. |
| 94 | * FieryRedhead: His fur is more orange than red, but boy, is he fiery! |
| 95 | * FriendlyPirate: Kwazii is a former pirate, and he's currently an Octonaut who helps save sea creatures. He still [[TalkLikeAPirate talks in pirate slang]] and is fond of finding treasure when he gets the chance. Kwazii's grandfather Calico Jack from "The Amazon Adventure" is still a pirate in the present day, but he's amiable and loving to his grandson. |
| 96 | * GenderFlip: In the original books, Kwazii was female. Reprints of the books and the show have him as male. |
| 97 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Only wears a hat, eyepatch, neckpiece, and shoes. |
| 98 | * HotBlooded: Any time the prospect of action comes up, Kwazii at the bare minimum eagerly volunteers. |
| 99 | * IdenticalGrandson: Kwazii is virtually identical to his grandfather, Calico Jack. The difference is in their outfits - Calico Jack dresses like a stereotypical {{Pirate}}, while Kwazii has the collar and boots of an Octonaut, with the only pirate affectation being an eyepatch. Also, the two wear their eyepatches on different sides. |
| 100 | * InvisibleParents: Although we see his grandfather, his parents are never seen. |
| 101 | * {{Keet}}: ''Oh dear god.'' |
| 102 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: Kwazii is always claiming a random animal as a sea monster, and he's wrong every time. |
| 103 | * LeeroyJenkins: In spades. One RunningGag is that Barnacles will tell the assembled team what they need to do, and when he turns to Kwazii, he finds that Kwazii has already jumped into the water and is swimming towards the objective. |
| 104 | * TheMcCoy: To Barnacles' [[TheKirk Kirk]] and Peso's [[TheSpock Spock]]. |
| 105 | * NiceGuy: Kwazii is rather short tempered, impatient and rebellious, but also one of the most easiest Octonauts to become friends with. |
| 106 | * NightmareFetishist: On the "fascination with creepy things" end of the scale. |
| 107 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: He has slanted eyes as opposed to the round eyes sported by everyone else. |
| 108 | * NumberTwo: To Captain Barnacles. |
| 109 | * OutOfFocus: His role was ''greatly'' reduced in ''Above and Beyond'', bordering on DemotedToExtra. |
| 110 | * {{Pirate}}: He is very proud of being a pirate. However, this is also overlaps with ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything. |
| 111 | * RedOniBlueOni: Very, very red to Barnacle's blue. |
| 112 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Peso's Sensitive Guy. |
| 113 | * TrueCompanions: Barnacles is his best friend as proven by the fact that they work together the most and their various fist bumps. The other Octonauts are equally important to them; the instant any of them are in trouble, and Kwazii is eager to rush in to help them out. |
| 114 | * VerbalTic: Tends to refer to fish(es) as "fishy/fishies". |
| 115 | * VibrantOrange: An orange-furred cat who's easily the most brash, energetic, and hotheaded Octonaut. |
| 116 | * VocalEvolution: His voice is higher in later episodes. |
| 117 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He is afraid of spiders. Spider crabs are an exception, though. |
| 118 | * YouthfulFreckles: Complimenting his energetic free spriit. |

| 125 | -->'''Voiced in Finnish by:''' Creator/AnttiJaakola |
| 126 | -->'''Voiced in Spanish by:''' Pedro Puga |
| 127 | |
| 128 | The medical officer of the Octonauts. He is a nice penguin who likes helping people. Peso is a bit shy and can be scared easily, but whenever someone needs help, he is the first to go into action. |
| 129 | |
| 130 | * AlliterativeName: '''P'''eso '''P'''enguin. |
| 131 | * AllLovingHero: See his second CatchPhrase - he wants to make sure everyone is healthy and happy, and he works hard at it. |
| 132 | * BadassPacifist: Regardless of the situation, Peso will never attempt to hurt or even hold back anyone doing anything threatening, even if he's under threat - he won't even use his absurdly fast bandaging skills to leave them BoundAndGagged. This does not stop him from stepping up to help out anyone who needs help. There's also the fact that he's extremely skilled at the various skills of penguins - he tied a professional athlete at the penguin equivalent of a triathalon. |
| 133 | * BilingualBonus: Peso's name refers to the currency used in some Spanish-speaking countries. Even the US version even gives him a Hispanic accent to match! |
| 134 | * CatchPhrase: |
| 135 | ** When surprised or alarmed: "Flappity flippers!" |
| 136 | ** When someone needs medical attention: "I'm a medic. I help any creature who is sick or hurt, no matter what." |
| 137 | * CowardlyLion: He typically will hang back in more dangerous situations, sometimes hiding behind Barnacles or Kwazii when hearing about or seeing anything dangerous. The second someone needs medical attention, though, he immediately puts all that aside and acts quickly to save whoever needs it. |
| 138 | * DisappearedDad: His father is never seen. |
| 139 | * DubNameChange: His name is Pepe in both Spanish dubs. |
| 140 | * FunnyForeigner: The US version has him with a heavy Spanish accent. |
| 141 | * GratuitousSpanish: In the US version, he'll occasionally use Spanish words such as "adios". |
| 142 | * LovableCoward: But [[CowardlyLion he can be brave when he has to be.]] |
| 143 | %%* NiceGuy |
| 144 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Kwazii's Manly Man. |
| 145 | * TheLoad: Sometimes he becomes this, as usually he is the member who gets in troubles more of the time, and the rest of the crew are about to save him. Also, sometimes they must explain him, step by step how to make well some things. |
| 146 | * TheMedic: Anyone is hurt, and he's on the case immediately. In a few episodes, the drama is due to either getting the injured patient to him or getting his medical bag back to him so that he can administer treatment. |
| 147 | * TheHeart: He always goes out of his way to help sick animals, no matter how scary they are. |
| 148 | * TheSpock: To Barnacles' [[TheKirk Kirk]] and Kwazii's [[TheMcCoy McCoy]]. |
| 149 | * WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Apparently, the only useful item in Peso's medical bag is a nigh-infinite supply of bandages. That said, in addition to their obvious medical use, Peso has also used them to create a handy sling, swung with them like a rope, used them to build a tent to protect from weather, and much more. |

| 162 | * {{Bookworm}}: He practically lives in the Octopod's library. |
