Has an Ernest demeanour and a curious mind. Dreams of the days when he can finally take off his beginner's sign. He has a heightened sense of pride compared to other Molcars. Not a fan of cats.

* {{Itasha}}: Episode 10 has Abbey getting turned into a glittery pink Itasha with hearts and a Morumi decal. If anything, he would have rather liked to get a SupermanSubstitute or a BatmanParody makeover. It also shows the implications of doing this to somebody against their will (potential mockery). Either way, he still ends up a hero of some sort by channelling Morumi's power and saving a cat from falling, even if it's not the kind of hero he was expecting.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Who drives in Abbey depends on the episode. In episode 3, it's a cat owner with a yellow polka dot apron. Episode 5 instead uses a racecar driver, while episode 10 features an {{Otaku}} man, though the rocket in the latter's room implies the two may be the same person and in ''Driving School'' Episode 1, the Otaku being the racing driver is more heavily implied as he bought a pair of rockets and attached them to Abbey. Later advertisements and pictures confirm that ''both'' the Otaku and the woman are his owners.

* ActionGirl: Over the course of the series, Teddy slowly became this. By Episode 6 she's willing to throw down with zombies, and in Episode 8 she's the main fighter of the two Molcar spies.

* ExtremeOmnivore: While Teddy eats a primarily vegan diet like all Molcars, her owner feeding her trash has awoken her to consume pretty much anything. She can hold down the slop at the Driving school, gnaw her way through mountains of trash (even in flesh and blood animals), and only gets minor indigestion from it all.

to:

* PartiallyCivilizedAnimal: The series is about giant guinea pigs that primarily act like the small versions of their kind, but are capable of communication (albeit through squeaking), the ability to use tools and weapons, and an understanding of pop culture.
* PunnyName: Molcars are in part named after the Japanese word for guinea pigs (''morumotto'', a corruption of Marmot) and a vehicle pun (the ''moto'' in ''morumotto'' sounds like "motor", and motors are used in cars).
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Come on, who doesn't love these giant guinea pigs?
* SignatureSoundEffect: the titular characters squeak so much it's right in the title. It's written out as "Pui".
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Molcars, despite their size, are terrified of house cats. Abbey is shocked to learn he has a cat inside of him in Episode 3, but if Episode 10 is any indication, his experience saving Episode 3's cat allowed the Molcar to tolerate them.


Added DiffLines:

* SeriesMascot: If any Molcar is the focus of marketing, it's Potato. He is front and center in the announcement trailer and in the opening animation, but he also gets the most consistent merchandise.


Added DiffLines:

* TooFastToStop: When Teddy eats a Boost Carrot during the Molcar race, she goes so fast that she runs straight into a wall.


Added DiffLines:

* OutOfFocus: Out of all the main Molcars throughout season 1, Choco is the least focused on. Each Molcar had a spotlight episode to show off their personality and a designated owner, but Choco usually played supporting roles despite having her own unique character description, and the people who take care of her wouldn't be identified in-show until ''Driving School''.

Added DiffLines:

* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: The fate of Shiromo at the end of Episode 6 in which a zombie accidentally bites him, then gets ''zombified''.
* AscendedToCarnivorism: Episode 6 ends with Shiromo turning into a zombie, as well as immediately switching from nibbling on a lettuce leaf to stealing a giant beef patty from the human zombies that turned him.
* ButtMonkey: Shiromo seems to get the brunt of the series’ abuse, from being carjacked to being ''zombified''. After all that he accidentally gets launched in the air during the big Molcar party, landing on the sofa where Potato's owner is sleeping, launching ''her'' in the air.
* CaughtUpInARobbery: Episode 2 is about Shiromo being hijacked by a couple of bank robbers using him as their getaway vehicle, as well as the HotPursuit between them and the police.


Added DiffLines:

* ButtMonkey: Abbey is next in line for bullying with the first being Shiromo--from [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes having a cat stuck inside of him]], to having his share of a carrot stolen, to being blown up with rockets, and finally being turned into a {{Itasha}} on the day of his beginner sign removal.

Episode 5 instead uses a racecar driver, while episode 10 features an {{Otaku}} man, though the rocket in the latter's room implies the two may be the same person and in ''Driving School'' Episode 1, the Otaku being the racing driver is more heavily implied as he bought a pair of rockets and attached them to Abbey.

Either way, he still ends up a hero of some sort by channelling Morumi's power and saving a cat from falling, even if it's not the kind of hero he was expecting.
* {{Otaku}}: Abbey's owner is a stereotypical anime otaku who's so obsessed with an in-universe MagicalGirl show called ''Magica Morumi'' that he turns Abbey into a glittery pink {{Itasha}} with a Morumi decal. He later parks Abbey outside of a BrandX version of Animate, a Japanese anime store chain.

She's the definition of an omnivore

to:

She's the definition of Teddy eats and moves a lot without second thought. She is a fearless tomboy, a troublemaker who always behaves outrageously, and is feared by her fellow Molcars. Teddy is brave but, also an omnivoreaccidental troublemaker, due to her impetuous nature.

Added DiffLines:

Choco is pleasant and graceful, and is powerful/specializes in physical ability. She likes beautiful things and always keeps her eye on fashion. She dreams to someday be the number one luxurious Molcar.

Added DiffLines:

An easygoing Molcar who sometimes ignores his driver's commands. Carrots are his favourite. He also has a brave side and will step up whenever anyone needs help, no matter the situation.
----


Added DiffLines:

While Molcars are timid creatures, Shiromo especially gets frightened easily. Sometimes he leans a little too much into his kindness of his considerate driver and he also has a tendency to get into sticky situations of all sorts. Teddy is like an older sister to him and he likes lettuce.

Aerith and Bob: The range of Molcar names leans heavily towards nonsense and regular pet names (Popomu, Potato, Shiromo) if they're not outright description names, but actual names sneak by sometimes. Even those range from somewhat rare (Teddy, Cher) to normal (Peter).
