Fisk

He communicates in unintelligible grunts, but Zak seems to be able to understand him just fine.

- A Dog Named "Dog": Guess what animal "Komodo" is?
- Extreme Omnivore: Komodo has the ability to eat and digest pretty much anything. This comes in ]handy on more then one occasion, even if it's a source of perpetual
Squick for Zak. - Invisibility: What sets Komodo apart from the rest of his species and puts him into cryptid territory is the ability to turn invisible.
- Hollywood Chameleon: Justified, because he's a cryptid.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Komodo can be quite unpleasant, but he genuinely cares about Zak's well-being and will fight to defend his family.
- Lovable Lizard: Rarely enough, a giant Komodo dragon rather than a cute little lizard. He's not quite as friendly as most other examples, but his family loves him just the same.
- Malicious Monitor Lizard: Subverted, he's one of the rare heroic portrayals of a Komodo dragon in modern fiction.
- Poisonous Person: Averted. He seems to lack the venom Komodo dragons have, given how his opponents are not affected by his bite. This may be justified in that he is a cryptid, and thus his abilities deviate significantly from the norm.
- Uplifted Animal: Komodo has been confirmed to be more intelligent than an actual Komodo dragon. He's even seen piloting a ship!
Zon
Zon
Zon, named after the Amazon rainforest where she was found, is a pterosaur holdout from the prehistoric era. The Field Guide states that she's from the Tropeognathus genus. After the Saturdays accidentally crash-land into her nest in their first episode, they decide to take her in.- Action Girl: Her first appearance is fighting, and she remains a fighting force for the rest of the series.
- Artistic License – Biology: She showcases many of the usual inaccuracies (cold-bloodedness, prehensile feet, incorrect wing anatomy), which were deliberately made in order to make her more "cartoony" for the show, as the authors do seem to do their research most of the time.
- Big Eater: She can wolf down buckets and buckets of fish at a time.
- Defeat Means Friendship: Her first appearance was attacking the Saturdays for accidentally destroying her nest. After they subdue her, she takes a liking to them and ends up a member of the family.
- I Am Not Weasel: She's often referred to as a Pteranodon.
- Meaningful Name: The Saturdays found her in the Amazon. Between her, Fisk, and Komodo, it's pretty clear that Zak does not exactly have the most creative naming sense.
- No-Sell: The first time Zak meets her, he tries to use the Claw on her. She responds by swatting it out of his hand.
- Shown Their Work: For all the Artistic License – Biology the show has taken, Zon is actually the correct size for her genus, and since pterosaurs had pycnofibres, her crest may be made of pycnofibres.
- Smitten Teenage Girl: Acts like the pterosaur equivalent toward the Duah
- The Smurfette Principle: Zak's only "sister".
- Trademark Favorite Food: Fish. Very fitting as her species were fish-eaters in real life.
