List of Main Characters

All the main characters (execept Lammy and The Ants)

A list of the 22 Main Characters of the Happy Tree Friends series.

Lumpy

A blue moose with mismatched antlers. He is extremely dimwitted, which often leads to the deaths of many other characters, but ironically, he has had more jobs than any of the other Tree Friends. He is the biggest of the main characters and is usually portrayed as an adult. He appeared the most, starred the most, survived the most, and killed the most.

Cuddles

A yellow rabbit who has big ears, pink cheeks and a fluff of fur on his head that looks like his tail. He is sometimes shown to be rebellious and often does things that are extremely dangerous. He is considered the series mascot and has the highest death count in the series.

Giggles

A pink chipmunk with a red bow on her head. She was the first female Tree Friend introduced. She is generally considered a girly girl along with her best friend Petunia.

Toothy

A purple beaver with freckles and huge buckteeth unlike the others (hence the name "Toothy"). He is friends with Cuddles and many of his injuries pertain to his eye. Many people consider him the most undeveloped character in the show.

Petunia

A blue skunk with a pink flower head accessory and a tree air freshener necklace. She is generally considered a girly-girl along with her best friend Giggles. In later episodes, she seems to have OCD and feels the need to keep everything clean.

Handy

An orange beaver with amputated hands, a tool belt, and a yellow hard hat. His amputated hands cause him trouble and disabilities that result either in death or killing another Tree Friend. He is the Tree Friend that most often does construction work and is perfectly capable of doing this without hands... as long as he's offscreen.

Nutty

A jittery green squirrel with a candy addiction and a candy outfit, consisting of three lollipops on his head and a candy cane on his chest. He is shown to have an addictive personality as seen in the False Alarm episode, since after getting over his candy addiction, he gained interest in video games and quickly became addicted to them. Eating sugar makes him go hyper and somewhat insane.

Sniffles

A brainy blue anteater with big glasses and a mouth on his trunk. Sniffles is the smartest character in the Happy Tree Friends series, but sometimes he lacks common sense. He makes many inventions, but these almost always get himself or someone else killed.

Pop and Cub

Pop is a brown bear who wears a bathrobe and a hat and smokes a pipe. He cares for his son, Cub, but he can be ignorant at times which often results in Cub's death. He is also shown to be a cheapskate sometimes.

Cub is a baby brown bear wearing a beanie and a diaper. He has the overall appearance of a baby but has the personality of a 4-year old. Pop's ignorance often results in his death. He doesn't usually seem to care when a character dies since he is too young to understand death.

Flaky

A red, nervous porcupine with dandruff on her quills (hence the name "Flaky"). She is usually very nervous due to a fear of dying. She is also shown to be a coward and is highly unstable. For a long time, her gender was never made clear, though hints always leaned toward her being female. Eventually, Flaky was announced to be female.

The Mole

A blind lavender mole with black glasses, a black trench coat, a cane, and a mole near his nose. Due to his blindness, some of his actions get him and the other Tree Friends killed. He often does things blind people shouldn't be doing, such as reading and driving. His archenemy is The Rat. 

Disco Bear

A golden bear with an afro and '70s style clothing. He is also fat as pointed out in Ipso Fatso. In most episodes, he is seen trying to flirt with girls such as Petunia and Giggles, but they simply find him to be a nuisance.

Russell

A turquoise sea otter with pirate accessories. He has the overall apperance of a pirate, but after Season 1, he lost his five o-clock shadow. He is often seen doing water-related activities.

Lifty & Shifty

Lifty & Shifty are green kleptomaniac raccoons who steal whatever they can when possible. You can tell them apart by Lifty being naked and Shifty wearing a green fedora. Shifty was the first Tree Friend to be created, way before Cuddles. Even though they are brothers, they get along poorly sometimes, which often results in the failure of their plans (especially by them dying). They have the lowest survival rate of all the characters.

Mime

A purple reindeer with a mime-like painted face and striped shirt. He is meant to be entertaining but results in others around him getting killed or getting himself killed. He normally rides a unicycle while juggling three balls. He does not talk because he is a mime, which normally results to the Tree Friend he's communicating to not to understand him, which in some cases cause many deaths. For example, in the episode Who's to Flame?, he trys to tell the fire department that the house is burning down, but since they're talking over the phone, Lumpy the firefighter can't understand him and hangs up. Later, the Mime sees more firefighters and tries to communicate with them using body motions, but they still don't understand.

Cro-Marmot

A green marmot who wears a leopard-skin loincloth and holds a club. He is frozen in an iceblock and lives in an apartment that is mostly ice. Despite being frozen, he can perform many tasks when offscreen. He often drives around in an ice cream truck.

Flippy

A green bear with army clothing. Whenever he sees or hears anything that reminds him of war, he flips out and think he's back in the war, which results in everyone's death. He is the most famous and one of the most popular characters in the series.

Splendid

A blue flying squirrel with a red superhero mask. He causes more harm than good and bears some similarities to Superman, such as being allergic to kryptonut.

Lammy

A purple sheep with a purple bow and a white jumper representing her wool. She appears to be schizophrenic due to her imagining a picke named Mr. Pickels brutally murdering everyone (unless Mr. Pickels is an actual living thing).
