The Raccoons

Bert Raccoon

Bert Raccoon

Voiced by: Len Carlson (English), Toshio Furukawa (Japanese)

• Ace Pilot: He's pretty good with a plane or rocket and can fly straight when he needs to, but when he gets too excited he Drives Like Crazy.
• Age-Gap Romance: He develops a crush on Lisa Raccoon despite him being (theoretically) an adult and her still being in high school. Eventually he agrees that they should just be friends.
• Attractive Bent-Gender: He dresses up in drag in "Cry Wolf!"
• Beware the Nice Ones: He's very kind and sweet, but don't anger him or he'll get back at you almost instantly!
• Big Brother Mentor: He often treats Bentley like a little brother by offering him advice and planning activities with him.
• Big Eater: Judging by the beginning of the episode 'Monster Mania'.
  Bert: Yeah, Melissa, I gotta admit it, you sure know how to pack a picnic basket.
  Melissa: And you sure know how to empty one, Bert.
• Brought To You By The Letter "B": Bert's trademark red-and-yellow sweater bears his first initial.
• Catchphrase:
  • Several times throughout the show, he has a tendency to announce himself as "Bert Raccoon, Ace X (magician, pilot, detective, etc)!"
  • He's also prone to saying "Yahoo!" whenever he's excited.
• Character Development: At the start of the franchise he's rather lazy and is described as such, but while he still slacks off once in a while, he works harder as the series goes on, sometimes bending over backwards for other people.
• Dreadful Musician: Zigzagged. In 'The Sweet Smell of Success', when his friends arrive to rescue him, they followed the sound of his singing thinking it was a foghorn, but earlier in the same episode he is shown to sing quite well despite his rather nasally voice. Played straight with his trumpet playing in 'Surprise Attack'.
• Friend to All Children: In "Stop the Clock!", he claims that he hasn't met a child that he didn't like, and although he and Bentley sometimes have their disagreements, they still share a special friendship. Also, in "The Headline Hunter!", he has a good time with a little girl on a picnic, even if he was annoyed that she was the only person who bid on him in the Bachelor Auction.
• Gag Nose: He has a long, bent nose, and is the goofiest of the Raccoondominium residents.
• Glory Seeker: His greatest character flaw is his pursuit of fame. He wants to be a star or win at something, and will jump at every opportunity he gets to pursue this goal.
• Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Only wears a sweater.
• The Hero: He's the first character introduced in the intro and is more or less the protagonist of the series.
• Heroic BSoD: In "The Sweet Smell of Success", he gets suckered into doing a commercial for Cyril, and as a result gets into an accident and is left stranded in a gondola with the drop below threatening to kill him. Fortunately Schaeffer, Ralph and Melissa save him in the nick of time.
• Idiot Hero: He always does the right thing, but he has a tendency to be reckless and immature.
• Intergenerational Friendship: Bert is a young adult who's friends with Bentley, a prepubescent boy, and Lisa, a girl in her teens.
• Jerkass Ball: In "A Night to Remember" he engages in casual sexism by excluding Melissa and Sophia from his secret club. Of course, he has a Heel Realization when they show up to save the day.
• Keet: Hyperactive and easily excitable.
• The Klutz: He's very clumsy, always falling over or crashing into things.
• Large Ham: He likes to make over-dramatic announcements and yell at the top of his voice. In one episode Ralph calls him a "canned ham".
• Lethal Chef: He makes a horrible soup in "Cry Wolf!". Justified, as he was working under pressure.
• Let's Get Dangerous!: In "The Raccoons and the Lost Star", he acts his usual goofy, clumsy self, but when he and the rest escape from Cyril's lair, he flies a biplane, does multiple loops around it without damage and flies everyone out safely.
• Limited Wardrobe: He's only seen wearing his trademark red sweater, and has dozens of copies of it.
• Manchild: Bert's the same age as Ralph and Melissa, both already married. They all attended the same school, the same grade along with Cedric Sneer. They all graduated from college. So, all of them must be in their early to mid twenties. Also Bert doesn't live at his own home, Ralph and Melissa let him stay with them. However, almost every chapter we see Bert playing dangerous antics and acting as if he's still a teenager, if not a kid.
• Nice Guy: He's kind, inclusive, and welcoming.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Excitable, hyperactive Red to Cedric's mellow, sensible Blue.
• Screams Like a Little Girl: He has a tendency to squeal when he's scared.
• The Thing That Would Not Leave: It's not that Bert won't leave Ralph and Melissa's home that's the problem as he's a welcome houseguest, it's the fact that he can be extremely clingy and not respect their private time as a couple, insisting on tagging along with whatever they do.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Peanut butter. He spreads it on almost everything he eats, much to Ralph and Melissa's annoyance.
• Zany Scheme: Usually comes up with one in every episode, although there are some exceptions.

Bentley Raccoon

Bentley Raccoon

Voiced by: Noam Zylberman (episodes 16-54), Stuart Stone (episodes 55-60), Urara Takano (Japanese)

• Annoying Younger Sibling: He often frustrates his older sister Lisa with his behavior.
• The Artifact: His character design resembling a smaller Bert is only plot-relevant in his debut episode, where the Pigs mistake him for a de-aged Bert when he wears one of Bert's sweaters. The only other time it's acknowledged is in "Making the Grade!", where he mistakes Bert in an old photo for himself.
• Bratty Half-Pint: He has his moments.
• Child Prodigy: A master of computing at 8 years old, and attends grade 7 at Evergreen Elementary.
  • There is actually a grade 7 in elementary schools in Canada.

• Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Bentley wears only a blue shirt with two buttons.
• Iconic Sequel Character: He debuted in an episode in Season 2 and proved popular enough to have episodes focused on him in subsequent seasons.

  • Played straight with his bedroom; it has blue walls while Lisa's has pink walls.

• Big Sister Instinct: In "Easy Money!", she organizes a rescue mission with Bert and Cedric to get back her younger brother Bentley after finding out he's gotten himself lost in the Endless Echo Caverns.
• Chickification: Lisa goes from sporty girl to an emotional wreck in her second appearance. However, it's done very believably and she recovers when Bert gives her some perspective about her life.
• Cool Big Sis: Although she sometimes gets annoyed with her younger brother Bentley, she still cares about him.
• Everyone Has Standards: In "Join the Club!", she's against the idea of her younger brother Bentley smoking cigarettes and decides to quit so he doesn't get involved with it as well.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Zigzagged. While she's more responsible than her brother Bentley and wishes he'd show more maturity, she sometimes makes foolish decisions of her own, like smoking cigarettes to impress a friend.
• Fully-Dressed Cartoon Animal: She wears a T-shirt, suspenders, high-waisted pants, and sneakers.
• Girls Love Chocolate: Downplayed. In "Moving In!", George mentions that Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Supreme is her favorite dessert, but chocolate is only one part of it.
• Humanoid Female Animal: She's the most slender of the raccoons and has human-like hands and feet instead of black paws.
• Iconic Sequel Character: She debuted in an episode in Season 4 and became one of the main characters when her family moved to the Evergreen Forest in Season 5.
• Jerkass Realization: She has one in "Moving In!" after she lashes out at her family, selfishly claiming that no one cares about how she feels and blaming her father for the move. This leads to her making a surprise appearance on her father's cooking show and apologizing to him for being so rude.
• Moving Angst: In "Moving In!", she grows depressed over moving to the Evergreen Forest and leaving her old life behind.
• Ms. Vice Girl: Lisa is reasonably friendly, but her occasional selfishness and stubbornness often creates conflict, especially with her brother Bentley.
• Nonstandard Character Design: More human in proportion than other raccoon characters, fully-dressed, and has gray hands rather than black paws.
• Passionate Sports Girl: She enjoys playing basketball.
• Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Zigzagged. Lisa wears both pink and blue while her brother Bentley wears only blue.
  • Played straight with her bedroom; it has pink walls while Bentley's has blue walls.
• Small Parent, Huge Child: Lisa is the tallest of the main raccoon characters and as a result, she towers over her parents.
• Statuesque Stunner: She's very tall for a raccoon.
• Tomboyish Ponytail: To go along with her love for basketball.
• Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Despite being a Passionate Sports Girl, she claims to not enjoy fishing because it involves touching a lot of slimy objects. She also enjoys romantic movies and the color pink.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: Downplayed as she doesn't stop being friendly, but she's noticeably more irritable in Season 5 than she is in "Spring Fever!".

George & Nicole Raccoon

George & Nicole Raccoon

George Voiced by: Dan Hennessey

Nicole Voiced by: Elizabeth Hanna

• Gag Nose: They both have the same bent noses as Bert and Bentley, most likely so the audience can easily identify them as Bentley's parents.
• Good Parents: Not only do they love their children, Bentley and Lisa, but they also treat them with the utmost responsibility.
• Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: George wears a sweatervest, a dress shirt, and a bowtie, Nicole wears an orange sweater and a scarf, and neither of them wear pants.

Their Friends and Allies

Cedric Sneer

Cedric Sneer

Voiced by: Fred Little ("The Christmas Raccoons", "The Raccoons On Ice", "The Raccoons and the Lost Star"), Marvin Goldhar (series), Nozomu Sasaki (Japanese)

• Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Only wears a yellow bowtie and glasses.
• Alliterative Name: Cedric Sidney Sneer.
• Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Like Cyril and Sophia, he's a pink aardvark.
• Black Bead Eyes: He has these whenever he raises his glasses.
• Character Development: Starts out relatively quiet and shy, then gradually becomes more assertive and confident.
• Gone Horribly Right: When Cyril sends him to a special business school so he can gain some drive, he comes back an arrogant yuppie. Cyril remarks that he's now "more troublesome than a government accountant".
• Happily Adopted: Subverted. Cyril is the one who's adopted, though due to a misunderstanding in "The Family Secret!" Cedric thought that he wasn't Cyril's real son.
• Honest Corporate Executive: In "Go For Gold!", he becomes the president of Sneer Enterprises and is a complete aversion of his father from the early seasons. Cyril retires that same episode, but it didn't work out for him, so he gets promoted to being Cedric's co-president.
• Lovable Nerd: He may be nerdy, but he has a good heart.
• Missing Mom: He's raised exclusively by his father and in "Courting Disaster!", it's implied his mother is dead.
• Morality Pet: His father, deep down, cares and worries for him.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The mellow, sensible blue to Bert's excitable, hyperactive red.
• Silk Hiding Steel: Even in the early episodes, despite his timid nature he has a great sense of self-respect.
• Shrinking Violet: A male version, he was this at first, but he got more confident as the series went on.
• Stereotypical Nerd: Cedric Sneer has thick Nerd Glasses, wears a bowtie, and has neatly parted hair. He is a Shrinking Violet, being soft spoken and shy, as well as very intelligent, handling all of the bookkeeping for his wealthy father's business. Downplayed however, as he is shown to be athletic, being very good at baseball, swimming and fishing, and has a long-term girlfriend in Sophia Tutu.
• Stronger Than They Look: Though he's a nerd, he's a pretty skilled athlete and sometimes doesn't know his own strength. This is shown when he accidentally elbows Bert in the stomach and sends him flying in "A Night to Remember".
• Trademark Favorite Food: Chocolate pudding. In The Raccoons on Ice, Cyril threatens to take them away if Cedric joins Bert's team.

Sophia Tutu

Sophia Tutu

Voiced by: Sharon Lewis (English), Hiroko Emori (Japanese)

• Aardvark Trunks
• Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: She's an aardvark with pink fur and blue hair.
• The Artifact: Despite being phased out of the show, and not making any appearances whatsoever in the final season, Sophia still remained in the intro throughout the entire run of the series due to it never changing.
• Break the Cutie: In "The Raccoons and the Lost Star" when she's imprisoned in Cyril Sneer's dungeon.
• Cannot Keep a Secret: Even if she tried. Look below The Ditz for an example.
• The Cutie: She was the sweetest of the main male character's respectful love interests.
• The Ditz: She was... really naïve to say the least. For example in "Rumours!", when she and Cedric were keeping a secret, she told Bert...
  "We're going to prepare for the arrival of the King and Queen! They're coming to the Evergreen Forest, but we can't tell you that, cause it's a secret. (Beat) Oops!"
• Fully-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Wears a light blue tank top and shoes, and a white headband and shorts.
• Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: See Outdoorsy Gal below.
• The Heart: In "The Raccoons On Ice", while the other main cast, were practicing for the hockey game, Sophia was supporting for them, gave them drinks and was somewhat the cheerleader.
• Humanoid Female Animal: Other than her nose, she is most human-like in appearance, and has hands and feet instead of big paws with claws like Cyril and Cedric have.
• Inexplicably Tailless: She, and all other female aardvarks, don't appear to have any tails.
• Innocent Blue Eyes: She had blue eyes. She was never mean spirited, and was kind hearted.
• Long Hair Is Feminine: She always wore her hair down and she was more girly compared to Melissa or Lisa.
• Neutral Female: In the specials.
• Official Couple: With Cedric.
• Outdoorsy Gal: Although she's more girly, she still enjoys joining out in the forest, riding her bike, exploring, camping, swimming in the lake. She even wears, a sleeveless top, shorts and sneakers.
• Passionate Sports Girl: If riding her bike and participating in the first annual Forest Games (in "Stop The Clock!") has anything to say about it.
• Put On A Train: She was Demoted to Extra by season three, where she only appeared in three episodes (her second to last one "The Evergreen Express!" where she was in the train). Her final appearances are cameos in "A Catered Affair!" and "The Headline Hunter!".
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Cedric's a nice guy and Sophia loves him for it.
• Took a Level in Badass: In the specials, she was a Neutral Female. In the series, she leads the mission to rescue Cedric, braves an old, abandoned house with Melissa and outperforms almost everyone in the Forest Games.
• True Blue Femininity: A lot of the clothing she wore was blue.

Schaeffer the Dog

Schaeffer the Dog

Voiced by: Carl Banas (English), Gorō Naya (Japanese)

• Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag: Usually stands on his hind feet. However, if he's around his human family, expect him to appear as a quadruped.
• Big Friendly Dog: Definitely.
• Character Development: Originally portrayed as slow and dimwitted in the original specials, he quickly became one of the smartest characters in the series, assisting with the Evergreen Standard's technical needs, running the Blue Spruce Café, and having a black belt in martial arts.
• Eyes Out of Sight: He has grey fur completely obscuring his eyes. The only time his eyes are seen is in The Raccoons On Ice, but only for a few frames.
• Gentle Giant: He's big, but he's really nice and friendly.

Broo the Puppy

Broo the Puppy

Voiced by: Sharon Lewis

• Dog Alien: In the specials, he comes from the same planet as most of the other main characters, though he moves to Earth when Schaffer adopts him.
• Depending on the Writer: He's either Schaeffer's son or little brother (blood or adopted).
• MacGuffin: He wears a star on his collar, which is important to the plot of The Raccoons and the Lost Star.
• Precious Puppy: Very much so!
• The Unintelligible: Unlike Schaeffer, he can only bark. It’s implied that this is because of his age.

Antagonists

Cyril Sneer

Cyril Sneer

Voiced by: Michael Magee (English), Mugihito (Japanese)

• 10-Minute Retirement: Years of smoking and stress finally catch up to him in "Go For Gold!", forcing him to retire for his health. However, by the end of the episode, he's back in his old position, albeit with his son Cedric sharing it to ease the burden it would put on him.
• Aardvark Trunks
• Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: He only wears a blue scarf.
• Added Alliterative Appeal: He often talks like this.
• Alliterative Name: Cyril Sneer.
• ...And That Little Boy Was Me: In "Trouble Shooter!", he tells Bentley the story of a kid who once ran away, and before he became a millionaire there were a lot of lost and lonely years before he made it. Bentley quickly and correctly guesses that the kid was Cyril.
• Bad Boss: Was this to a degree early on. As he softens up, the pigs commit atrocities that are actually deserving of Cyril's frustration at times. What they do in "The One That Got Away" is a good example.
• Bad People Abuse Animals: In "Picture Perfect", he exploited Snag and tried to sell him to a Hollywood producer. He treated Snag better after the latter saved his life.
• Bizarre Taste in Food: In "The Chips Are Down!" Cyril's potato chip company is struggling, likely due to the weird flavors that Cyril personally likes. Known flavors include turnip and sardine, fried egg and broccoli, sour cream and liver, and cinnamon and lima bean.
• Character Development: The most notable case in the series; from a corrupt Jerkass to a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
• Cheated Angle: Regardless of whether the right or left side of his head is facing the camera, Cyril's cigar and gold tooth will be drawn to appear on that side. While this could be explained by Cyril simply having two gold teeth, it's a little jarring to see the cigar change sides when Cyril turns his head in any given shot.
• Cigar Chomper: He's permanently seen with a cigar between his teeth. However, Cyril has made no bones that he keeps that habit up only due to nicotine addiction, and in the Grand Finale, he has another health emergency that is serious enough for him to retire and it is obvious his smoking aggravated his condition.
• Commonality Connection: One of the things which attracted him to his wife was how good she was with money.
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: In the early seasons. Not so much as the show progresses.
• Death by Materialism: Averted, on numerous occasions. Many an episode features Cyril going after a treasure or valuable object, wanting to increase his wealth. However, as greedy as Cyril is, at the moment of truth, he will decide to abandon his quest in order to save his own life, or the life of Cedric, showing that he's not completely blinded by greed.
• Doorstop Baby: Implied. Cyril is adopted, and he doesn't appear to know who his real parents are, which explains why he evicted his own mother.
• Enemy Compassion: Even though the Raccoons are considered his enemies, there are times when he's willing to help them out during their times of hardship.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Even at his nastiest early on in the series, he always loved his son, Cedric.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Throughout the series, Cyril has lines he will not cross when it comes to making profits and, more than once, he makes sacrifices for the greater good, especially when it comes to his son, Cedric. It gets to the point where, in the later seasons, the 'evil' part is practically gone.
  • It shows in The One That Got Away. He is devastated about losing a beloved fishing pond to illegally dumped toxic waste. He eventually finds out the pigs did it as part of a moonlighting job, simply because they needed money. His response?
  Cyril: You want money? Here! Here's lots of money! Take it all! Take some more! Just give me back the fishing hole! Can you do that? Can you give me a price on that? Can you?!
• Flanderization: Inverted. Whilst his lust for profits/money is a recurring trait, the early seasons are when it's at its peak.
• Gold Tooth of Wealth: He's enormously wealthy and has two gold teeth in his upper jaw.
• Honest Corporate Executive: Later into the series, Cyril stopped being nearly as corrupt as he was before.
• I Gave My Word: An early hint that Cyril wasn't completely rotten was that he had a strict matter of pride about keeping promises. This appears in "Going It Alone!" when it's revealed that he gave his word to protect a statue in memorial to a relative of his who gave away all of his money to charitable causes.
• Karmic Jackpot: The nicer Cyril got in the series, the more his luck improved because of his proper moral choices.
• Kick the Dog: Amongst most of his actions in the early episodes, he literally does this to his pet dog, Snag.
• Large Ham: Just hear him talk or laugh!
• Laser-Guided Karma: He received both sides of the karma coin throughout the series. See Karmic Jackpot above.
• Laughably Evil: In the early seasons, he was a corrupt jerk but very funny.
• Meaningful Name: Cyril Sneer.
• Morality Pet: In the later seasons Lisa and Bentley appear to be this for him, but it's very well known he always loved his son Cedric Sneer.
• Papa Wolf: If Cedric comes to harm, he will roast anyone responsible.
• Reformed, but Not Tamed: While he does become a better person, his greed and dishonesty never completely go away.
• Smoking Is Not Cool: His cigar habit is consistently portrayed as unpleasant and unhealthy; at one point, he says he wants to quit but can't muster up the willpower. Eventually, his smoking combined with the stress of his job give him health problems serious enough that he's forced to retire; while he does get his position back when his health improves somewhat, he needs Cedric to help him shoulder the burden.
• Took a Level in Kindness: As part of his Character Development.
• Villainous Gold Tooth: He's a Corrupt Corporate Executive who's an enemy to the Raccoons, at least in the early seasons. He has two gold upper teeth, one on each side of his mouth.

Snag

Snag

Voiced by: Michael Magee

• Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: He's a dog with blue fur.
• Beware of Vicious Dog: He's hostile to everyone except for his owners, who he genuinely loves.
• Big Eater: He has to be goaded with doggy treats to do any tricks.
• Cartoon Creature: Snag's breed is a Bluepoint Ridgeback Retriever. However, he does not resemble any actual breed of Ridgeback or Retriever. He is also the only made-up creature to exist within the series.
• Mix-and-Match Critters: Part-dog, part-aardvark.
• Morality Pet: Even though he's an actual pet, the Sneers are this to him, particularly Cedric. In "Picture Perfect" he saves Cedric from a fire, and later in the episode, despite the fact that Cyril exploited him and tried to sell him to Hollywood, he drags Cyril out from beneath a fallen tree.
• Uncatty Resemblance: He has the Sneers' nose.
• The Unintelligible: In a similar fashion to Broo, Snag can only growl or make Muttley-like snickering sounds.

The Pigs

The Pigs

Pig One Voiced by: Nick Nichols ("The Raccoons and the Lost Star", series episodes 1-50), Keith Hampshire (episodes 51-60), Urara Takano (Japanaese)

Pig Two Voiced by: Len Carlson (English), Nozomu Sasaki (Japanese)

Pig Three Voiced by: Fred Little ("The Raccoons and the Lost Star"), Len Carlson (series), Toshio Furukawa (Japanese)

• Always Identical Triplets
• Anti-Villains: They're not evil, they're just obeying their boss.
• Butt-Monkey: Though they bring it on themselves in the later seasons.
  • Pig Three can be seen as a Butt-Monkey to his own brothers. He tends to be the most timid and inept of the three, and the other two aren't afraid to boss him around from time to time.
• Divergent Character Evolution: Earlier on, they were interchangeable, but they soon had different personalities to go along with their individual voices. Pig One always came up with the ideas.
• Easily Forgiven: The pigs have done plenty of stupid things over the seasons, but they rarely get much more punishment than either a scolding, or having to clean up whatever mess they made. Tends to overlap with Ultimate Job Security (below).
• Expy: They're loosely based on The Three Little Pigs.
• Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: They wear blue newsboy-like caps and blue-and-turquoise striped sweaters.
• Inexplicably Tailless: Even without pants, they don't have any tails. Although, their tails do turn up very briefly in a few episodes of season 1.
• My God, What Have We Done?: They unknowingly contribute to polluting the waterhole. When they realise what they've done, they're utterly guilt stricken.
• No Name Given: Subverted, while they are very rarely addressed by name, they are in fact called Floyd, Lloyd and Lloyd. Fanon has one of the Lloyds named Boyd. Some say that all three pigs are named Lloyd.
• One-Steve Limit: Defied, see above.
• Ultimate Job Security: It doesn't seem to matter how badly their shenanigans end up harming Cyril financially, he still keeps them around. The one time that Cyril did fire the pigs, he later felt regret and gave them back their jobs, albeit with docked pay.
• Yes-Man: At least, in the earlier seasons. They try to defy Cyril later on.

Mr. Mammoth

Mr. Mammoth

Voiced by: Carl Banas

• Always Someone Better: He's this to Cyril Sneer. Several episodes involve Cyril trying to somehow impress him or get him to invest in one of Cyril's projects. A few scenes in Cyril's office even show a framed picture of Mammoth in the background.
• Animals Not to Scale: He's awfully small for a rhinoceros.
• Fully-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Wears a businessman outfit.
• The Unintelligible: He only speaks in mumbles, which his assistant, a small yellow bird, has to translate. That said, a few of those mumbles are loud enough that the audience can hear.

Mr. Knox

Mr. Knox

Voiced by: Len Carlson

• Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: He only wears a ten-gallon hat, a bolo tie, cufflinks, several rings, and boots.
• Everything Is Big in Texas: He's one of the taller characters on the show, speaks with a Texan accent and wears the hat, bolo tie and boots commonly associated with that state.

• Reasonable Authority Figure: A wealthy entrepreneur, Knox will often come to do business with members of the cast. These business dealing will regularly suffer a setback, often as a result of circumstances beyond the other party's control, causing them to fear Knox will cancel said deal, but Knox is usually understanding and willing to overlook these issues. Examples: Cyril is trying to sell Knox a secure vault and locks an escape artist inside to prove how secure it is. The escape artist, well, escapes, and Cyril fears the deal is sunk. However, Knox is still willing to buy the vault. In another episode, Knox gives George Raccoon a cooking show, willing to hire him long-term if the pilot episode goes well. The episode devolves into a food fight, yet Knox still hires George.
• The Rival: To Cyril Sneer. Cyril and Knox are always trying to outdo each other.

Milton Midas

Milton Midas

Voiced by: Len Carlson

• Corrupt Corporate Executive: To an even greater extent than Cyril Sneer when he was an antagonist. While Cyril's dealings were unethical, his are outright criminal.
• Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: He wears a vest but no pants.
• Meaningful Name: Milton Midas wants nothing more than to increase his wealth, whatever the cost.
• More Hateable Minor Villain: He only appeared in three episodes, two of which he had a major role in, but he was one of the vilest villains in the show, lacking the redeeming qualities of most of the other antagonists and crossing lines they wouldn't.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: Carlson based his voice on that of W. C. Fields.
• Put on a Prison Bus: The last time the audience sees him is during his arrest for paying the Pigs to dump toxic waste into a lake in "The One That Got Away!", which is also the penultimate episode of the series overall.
• Replacement Flat Character: He's essentially pre-Character Development Cyril Sneer, only even worse. It's no coincidence that he was introduced at about the same time Cyril was starting to become a better person.

• Beary Friendly: Though his species isn't confirmed by the show, he appears to be a white bear and he's friendly to whoever visits his general store.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Downplayed. He doesn't get violent whenever he gets angry, but he can be quite stern with those who test his patience.
• Everyone Has Standards: He may be friendly, but when others do something immoral (such as roughhousing in his store, shoplifting, and ballot stuffing), he's quick to give them a reasonable punishment.
• Friendly Shopkeeper: Whenever the other characters visit his general store, he's more than happy to help them with their shopping needs.
• Fully-Dressed Cartoon Animal: His clothing consists of the following: a dress shirt, a bowtie, sleeve garters, suspenders, pants, and dress shoes.
• Glasses of Aging: His younger self, as seen in a flashback in "The One That Got Away!", doesn't wear glasses, implying he only started needing them when he got older.
• Nice Guy: He's usually polite and friendly to all his customers.
