Characters

Puppets

  • Chlorophylle (French) / Grady Greenspace (English) - The show's main protagonist. A black and white dormouse that solved crimes and environmental issues with the aid of his friends. Grady lived inside an old building and slept in a human's old slipper.
  • Radar - a bat and close friend of Grady.
  • Bulgy - a frog and close friend of Grady.
  • Anthracite (French) / Scuzzy (English) - The main antagonist of the series. Scuzzy was a black rat and leader of a group of animals called the Rafia or the "Creepy Crawlers", who were usually the cause of the problem that Grady was trying to solve. Occasionally, however, Grady and Scuzzy had to join forces to deal with other antagonists.
  • Maeva (French) / Rhonda (English) - A white rat that was the sister of Scuzzy, but far sweeter and nicer than her brother. She was also Grady's love interest.
