Roofus
A dog born in Glasgow, Scotland. Roofus was the leader of the Fur Fighters back in the their heyday. After defeating Viggo, he settled Fur Fighter Village to live in peace with his wife, Winnie, and his kids, along with his compatriots. With the return of Viggo and the kidnapping of his wife and kids, Roofus is reluctantly drawn back into war to save them and end Viggo once and for all. His special ability lets him dig holes, allowing him to move quickly through the level and reach certain areas.
- Deadpan Snarker: One of the snarkier members of the group, only outdone by Juliette.
- Fatal Flaw: As shown in the Bad Place, it's implied that Roofus fears going back to war, or perhaps feels guilty that he's indirectly responsible for the Fur Fighter's predicament for not killing Viggo in the past.
- The Hero: The closest there is to a singular main character.
- Heroic Dog: While all the Fur Fighters are good hearted and heroic, Roofus in particular stands out for his nobleness and courage.
- The Leader: Of the "Levelheaded" type. He is the oldest and most experienced of them.
- Mighty Glacier: He can still land mean hits in his old age but he's one of the slowest Fur Fighters in terms of running speed.
- Old Soldier: The single oldest member of the Fur Fighters; it's heavily implied that he fought in World War II.
- Only Sane Man: Considerably more level-headed and down to Earth compared to the rest of his team and the insane shenanigans going on around him.
- Retired Badass: More so than the other Fur Fighters. It's implied he's a WW2 vet.
- Violent Glaswegian: Not really antagonistic, but don't get on his bad side.
Rico
A penguin born in Argentina. Goofy, carefree and prone to daydreaming, Rico does not take his duties very seriously, but his wife Juanita and his kids being kidnapped by Viggo has brought him back into the fray. Rico is the only Fur Fighter who can swim underwater.
- Cloudcuckoolander: He's certainly spacier than most of his other teammates, which says a lot.
- The Ditz: Certainly not to Bungalow's extent, but it's there.
- Fatal Flaw: In the Bad Place, it's suggested that Rico feels constrained or controlled and wants to be free. That, or he has no underlying issues and was just having a bad dream.
- The Lancer: Shares this role with Chang.
- Retired Badass: As with all the other Fur Fighters, until Viggo comes along.
- Super Not-Drowning Skills: He's the only Fur Fighter who can swim underwater.
Bungalow
A kangaroo born in Alice Springs, Australia. Bungalow is close friends with Roofus. Bungalow is rather dim-witted and doesn't quite realise his strength and ability, and is content to just sit back and take orders from the other Fur Fighters. Bungalow can jump much further and higher than the other Fur Fighters, which lets him avoid perils and reach high places that would be outside the reach of his friends.
- The Big Guy: Physically the most powerful of the Fur Fighters and as a kangaroo he is a bit taller than everyone else.
- Butt-Monkey: Simply put, the guy sees the most jokes and abuse thrown at him over the course of the game.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He has all the brain power of a sack of hammers, but he's surprisingly deadly in direct combat.
- Dumb Muscle: Bungalow may be a few cans short of a six pack, but he naturally makes up for it by being the strong arm for the group.
- Fatal Flaw: In the Bad Place, it's suggested Bungalow harbours some self-esteem issues about his lack of intelligence.
- Henpecked Husband: The other spouses may see their fair share of spats with their better halves, but Esmerelda sure takes the cake in how much of a hard time she gives Bungalow, even when he's trying to save her in Dinotopolis.
- Kangaroos Represent Australia
- Retired Badass: Like all the other Fur Fighters, before the events of the game.
Chang
A firefox (red panda), born in Hong Kong, China. On top of being brilliant with weapons, Chang is a genius scientist and engineer, and developed and maintains the Fur Fighter's transporter. Chang is much shorter than the other Fur Fighters, and rather than angst over it, he acknowledges that his stature lets him fit through small gaps that would stump his compatriots.
- Asian and Nerdy: Is an animal commonly found in Asia and is incredibly intelligent.
- Badass Bookworm: He's responsible for creating the teleporters that allow you to swap between characters in levels in addition to some of the other tech he's built, so he more than qualifies.
- Fatal Flaw: In the Bad Place, it's suggested that Chang fears being ignored or forgotten by others due to his stature.
- The Lancer: Shares this role with Rico.
- Pintsized Powerhouse: Tiny though he may be, don't let his size fool you; he's no less effective on the battlefield.
- Retired Badass: Like the whole group before Viggo arrives.
- Shorter Means Smarter: The shortest member, being outsized even by the baby dragon, and the smartest.
- The Smart Guy: Invented many of the handy you use.
Juliette
A cat born in Paris, France. Juliette is the sole female Fur Fighter member. Juliette is occasionally short-tempered and stubborn, and a bit of a loner, but she is very athletic and a competent fighter, making her a valuable asset to the Fighters. Juliette can climb up and down special walls using her claws.
- Action Girl: The only female Fur Fighter and she packs a serious punch.
- Deadpan Snarker: Naturally.
- Fatal Flaw: In the Bad Place, it's suggested that Juliette doesn't entirely trust her comrades and fears they say things about her behind her back. Although ironically she also seems to fear the idea that she could be easily coerced into betraying her friends for Viggo.
- French Jerk: Subverted. She's not really a jerk per se, just a bit snooty and snarky.
- Ms. Fanservice: A bit more volutpuous than most female characters and wears a tight blue shirt that exposes her cleavage.
- Retired Badass: Before Viggo's revenge.
Tweek
A baby dragon born in Fur Fighter Village, and whose mother, Gwyneth, came from Royston Vasey, England. Tweek is the oldest and by far largest of Gwyneth's children, a mercy considering that this meant that Viggo's minions couldn't carry him away during the kidnapping. Tweek is now in the unenviable position of being forced to fight to save his mother and siblings despite only being a day old. Tweek has not quite mastered the use of his wings yet, but he can glide short distances.
- Badass Adorable: Cute as a button, the youngest member of the Fur Fighters... and is not only the son of one of the original members of the Fur Fighters, but is capable of handling himself in a fight and all kinds of guns just as well as the other members.
- Breath Weapon: He breathes fire for his melee attack.
- Fatal Flaw: In the Bad Place, it's suggested that Tweek's greatest personal fear is being separated or rejected by his siblings.
- Improbable Age: He's only a day old. He manages to keep up with his war veteran buddies.
- No-Sell: He can swim through magma with no ill effect. Trying to do this with the other Fur Fighters has... predictable results.
- Not Quite Flight: He can fly short distances, but is presumably too weak to maintain true flight.
- Pokémon Speak: Tweek!
- Really Was Born Yesterday: Tweek is only one day old.
- The Sixth Ranger: Since he's more or less the most recent addition to the Fur Fighters, he counts as this.
- Tagalong Kid: As the only one of the Fur Fighters who isn't an aging war veteran.
The Mighty Flea
A new seventh playable character introduced in Viggo's Revenge. A tiny warrior who is allied with the Fur Fighters. When they get attacked by ticks and nits in certain areas, the flea comes in to fight off the parasites and after doing this the Fur Fighter gains a special ability.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: As good of a gunman as the bigger characters.
General Viggo
An anthropomorphic alien cat and villainous mastermind, Viggo is the old enemy of the Fur Fighters - they have repeatedly foiled his plans before. In his latest scheme for world domination, he has kidnapped the Fur Fighter's families to dissuade them from interfering with his plans. Big mistake.
The first, portrayed in the in-game manual, shows Viggo as a gray-skinned humanoid cat character dressed in a military general's uniform. This depiction of Viggo provides a more whimsical and comedic appearance, fitting the tone of the game.
The second variation, portrayed in the game itself, depicts Viggo in his true form as a giant, green-skinned humanoid cat wielding a massive laser rifle. This depiction of Viggo is more sinister and menacing, highlighting his role as the primary antagonist in the game and the threat he poses to the Fur Fighters and the entire world.
- Arch-Enemy: Of the Fur Fighters and Roofus in particular.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: For most of the game until the final boss, where he trades the suit for a...rather garish pink tracksuit.
- BFG: When he's fought directly.
- Big Bad: A tyrant who wants to rule the world and a foul kidnapper of the Fur Fighters' families, which he did out of petty revenge.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Does not even pretend what he is doing is awful.
- Cats Are Very Very Very Mean: He absolutely revels in his wickedness.
- Diabolical Mastermind: Viggo's got a comprehensive world-domination plan for every main world in the game, ranging from simple museum heists to invading The Bad Place to revive his dead soldiers.
- Evil Brit: In the PS2 port.
- Expy: Of Ernest Stavro Blofeld.
-
Fashion-Victim Villain: His pink jumpsuit. - Faux Affably Evil: He's generally pretty humorous throughout the game, mostly on account of him getting intensely annoyed with his incompetent goons, along with generally being rather calm, even when he's killing whatever unfortunate peacock that alerts him to the approach of the Fur Fighters before every world. Then he drops all of that when he savagely beats Roofus to near-death at the end of the game.
- Genius Bruiser: Viggo remains only a genius up until the final fight of the game, where he reveals that he's the strongest fighter in his whole army.
- Genre Savvy: "You clearly haven't gone to the movies enough. You should have known villains always do that!"
- Genre Blind: Although he has elements of this too.
- Surrounded by Idiots: In relation to his bears, Viggo is entirely justified calling them stupid.
- Villainous Breakdown: After he's defeated at the end of the game, he drops the stylish Affably Evil act and cuts straight to violently beating Roofus almost to death while ranting about how his failure was due to handing his plans to his moronic underlings.
Fifi
Viggo is rarely seen without his pet, Fifi, a cat-sized human who bares a striking resemblance to a certain Austin Powers villain...
- Expy: He looks rather like Dr. Evil.
- Right Hand Human: Parodied. Viggo is the cat, so he has a cat-sized human who runs around on all fours and meows.
- That Poor Human: Gets abused a fair bit.
Oddfelt
Viggo's loyal valet. Vaguely reminiscent of a certain James Bond villain who kills people with a razor-rimmed bowler hat...
- Battle Butler: A valet who is also a competent fighter.
- The Dragon: Viggo's most trusted minion.
- Evil Counterpart: To Rico.
- Expy: Of Oddjob.
Odebah Bear
The brains of Viggo's outfit, he serves as an advisor.
- Cyborg: Seems to have experimented on himself as well.
- Evil Counterpart: To Chang. Both are brilliant inventors, but Change utilized his intellect for the good of others.
- The Evil Genius: A fairly classic one.
- Expy: Contains elements of both Baron Samedi and Tee-Hee from Live and Let Die.
Uber Bear
A particularly large bear, Uber serves as Viggo's personal bodyguard.
- The Brute: A huge monstrous ursine with a huge gun.
- Evil Counterpart: To Bungalow. Bungalow is strong, dumb, but good hearted. Uber is stronger, dumber, and heartess.
Mr. Grr and Mr. Argh
Two of Viggo's henchmen, Siamese twins that live in a mind-warping funhouse. One is a Badass in a Nice Suit, the other is some sort of hippie.- Expy: Of Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd from Diamonds Are Forever.
- Made of Iron: They sure take a lot of damage.
The Unfluffables
Viggo's consorts and bodyguards, the Unfluffables are a pair of women, one a rabbit and the other a doe, who fight the Fur Fighters.
- Evil Counterpart: To Juliette. Both are the only female fighters in their respective group. They also serve as interesting foils, Juliette prefers to work alone whilst the Unfluffables are never apart.
- Expy: Of Thumper and Bambi, respectively, from Diamonds Are Forever.
- Ms. Fanservice: They wear only bikinis for their boss fight.
General Bristol
Bristol is a walrus who once commanded the Fur Fighters. He has since passed away, but continues to offer cryptic yet helpful advice to the Fur Fighters when they need it.
- Retired Badass: He used to command the Fur Fighters back in the day.
- Deadpan Snarker: "You can't kill me. I'm already dead."
- Spirit Advisor: Has returned as a ghost to help his living friends.
Sergeant Sternhouser
An antelope, Sternhouser is the personal trainer of the Fur Fighters. He offers them advice and may be persuaded to give them new weapons every once in a while.
- Drill Sergeant Nasty: Averted. He respects the Fur Fighters and only goes as far as to berate them for not training enough.
- Immune to Bullets: He can't be killed because, in his own words, he's trained so hard that his rock-hard muscles are bulletproof.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
- Real Men Wear Pink: He loves dancing. After all, it's a key part of training.
- Worf Effect: Is a very competent and almost unstoppable fighter. Even he has his limits though, Viggo capturing him later in the game helps demonstrate how dangerous and serious the villain has become.
Gywnth
Tweek's mother. Kidnapped by Viggo, she is transformed into a horrifying metallic dragon and set upon New Quack City. She is eventually defeated by Tweek and reverted back to her original self.
- Attack Its Weak Point: When she opens her mouth to breathe fire at you, you can deal a lot of damage.
- Badass in Distress: So she's the one who gets kidnapped and it's up to him to save her.
- Breath Weapon: Much like Tweek, though her application of it is capable of setting fire to skyskrapers and doing serious damage to Tweek in her boss fight.
- Cool Old Lady: Well, she is a dragon, after all.
- Giant Flyer: Of course. Also as a mutated metallic dragon for her boss fight.
- Retired Badass: It's actually her who once fought with the Fur Fighters. Tweek is just one of her many children.
Juanita
Rico's wife. Juanita is loyal to Rico and always eager to step in when he says something... "inappropriate". She is mutated into a giant predatory penguin and let loose in the bowels of Beaver Power dam, until she is reverted back to her original self after being defeated by Rico.
- Damsel in Distress: That gets turns into a monster to boot.
- Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: To Rico. She is the wiser of the two.
- Sea Monster: In her boss fight, she's basically a huge predatory penguin... It's more threatening than it sounds.
Claude
Juliette's husband. Claude is childish and easily amused, but a talented artist. He is fought on the exterior of a Cape Canardo satellite, clad in an armoured space suit, armed with a giant laser weapon and seemingly brainwashed. Juliette is successful in defeating him and reverting him back.
- Distressed Dude: The only grown male taken captive by Viggo.
- Energy Weapon: His weapon of choice during his boss battle in Cape Canardo.
- French Jerk: Again, subverted. He's just a pretentious artist.
Esmerelda
Bungalow's wife. Esmerelda is loud, domineering and has a habit of hitting her husband. She is mutated into a 200-foot tall kangaroo and armed with an automatic tank cannon, and fights Bungalow in one of the lava swimming pools of Dinotopolis, and eventually gets defeated by him and rescued.
- BFG: She's seen carrying around a massive automatic tank cannon in her boss fight which will decimate you if you don't take cover.
- Corridor Cubbyhole Run: The giant beach ball in the center of the arena you fight her in will serve as the primary protection against her onslaught of machine gun fire...at least until she forgets she's run out of bullets and tries to continue firing the empty clip...which is your cue to sink her into the lava.
- Damsel in Distress: Like the other wives.
- Jerkass: She is continually verbally and physically abusive to Bungalow. Really makes you wonder what the guy sees in her.
- Kaiju: For her boss fight.
Mai
Chang's wife. Like her husband, she is a firefox and very short in stature, but doesn't seem to share his intellectual inclination. She is mutated into a strange silver fox creature and prowls the distant temple of Anatat Tananatat aka the City of Fear. Chang defeats her, reverts her back and brings her home.
- Attack Its Weak Point: The weak point in question; she has to be shot off Winnie's neck in order to fight her face to face.
- Damsel in Distress: The penultimate one.
- Dual Boss: With Winnie.
- Eye Beams: Her primary method of attack in her mutated form.
- Kill It with Fire/Kill It with Ice: Her mutated form is Immune to Bullets. You need to use the thermal weapon to make any headway with doing damage to her.
- Lightning Bruiser: Her eye beams deal heavy damage, she's immune to conventional weaponry, and she's very fast and agile. All these traits combine to make her highly dangerous.
Winnie
Roofus' wife. Once a sweet old lady, Viggo transformed her into a huge, hideously deformed and malevolent dog with a giant maw, and let her loose in Anatat Tananatat aka the City of Fear. It took Roofus defeating her to revert her back.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Of all of the mutated spouses fought in the game, Winnie is easily the largest one of the six.
- Breath Weapon: Letting her get too close to you while she's casing the arena will result in her doing this, resulting in your health dropping like a rock.
- Canis Major: In her boss fight.
- Damsel in Distress: The last one you need to save.
- Dual Boss: With Mai.
- Mighty Glacier: Contrasting Mai's Lightning Bruiser fighting style, Winnie is incredibly slow as she moves around the arena you fight her in. Doesn't mean you can let her close the distance, though...
- The Unfought: After a fashion. Winnie is never directly fought in the boss fight against her and Mai, only serving as a fairly huge obstacle in trying to bring Mai down to your level.
