Voice Actor
Rat, adult - the leader of the gang, and the biggest role in the show (about 106 speaking cues across Episodes 1-8). Wears square-rim glasses with no glass and a straw hat with a white daisy. Proper, polite, warm - a fatherly gentleman. Voice: polite, calm, and kindly; an adult middle-pitched voice with a touch of an upper-class English accent. Refined and old-fashioned, with flustered squeaks when scared. Pays $350 per full-day session; records in-studio in Los Angeles (local actors only, in person).
"Nonsense, Peter. I've been down this path a hundred times, know it like the back of my paw. No chance that we're lost, none at all!"
"I remember once in the country store, I saw a picture on the storekeeper's wall of a creature called a dragon. It was a very fierce looking creature in the picture, not at all like this fellow. It was much larger. But it did have that smoke coming out of its nose and a long tail like this one and I just think he might be a baby dragon!"
Voice Actor
Grey squirrel, young - the gang's scout leader, in a blue and gold scout cap and kerchief. Bursting with energy: cheerful, fearless, endlessly curious, talks in rapid-fire questions. Lives by the scout motto "Be prepared." Voice: an energetic, high-pitched adult voice. Fast, excitable, singsong at times, runs sentences together when excited. About 89 speaking cues across Episodes 1-8. Pays $350 per full-day session; records in-studio in Los Angeles (local actors only, in person).
"Does it? Does it? What man, he doesn't look like a man! What does the first bit say, Samba? What does it say?"
"Yes, Sherman! I bet it's his name! Of course it's his name. Why wouldn't it be his name? If it isn't his name, why not make it his name? He's got to have a name, so let's call him Sherman! Sherman! Sherman! We dub you 'Sherman!'"
Voice Actor
Porcupine, adult. Lives in a cozy burrow under the oak tree. Shy, not brave or energetic, a worrier, always hungry - but when a friend truly needs him, he screws up his courage and comes through. Gentle and sweet underneath the grumbling. Voice: a low-pitched voice. Slow, droll, a little tired-sounding, with a nervous stammer when frightened. About 45 speaking cues (not in Episode 3). Pays $350 per full-day session; records in-studio in Los Angeles (local actors only, in person).
"But why me? I only want to crawl into my warm bed. But I'm afraid of him... it... uh, whatever it is! I don't know how to take care of a baby, any baby, and especially not this baby!"
"No one has ever asked me to help with a really big problem. (beat) Yes, I'll do it! But only till we decide what to do with him in the morning, isn't it?"
Voice Actor
Ladybug, adult. Lives on the daisy on Samba's hat. Sensible, kind, and diplomatic - the voice of reason in the gang.

About 22 speaking cues, but core ensemble, present throughout. Pays $350 per full-day session; records in-studio in Los Angeles (local actors only, in person).
"Samba, I have a suggestion. Perhaps if we know what this 'Sherman' is, that will help us decide what's to be done. And I would suggest, to find out, that we go see Edgarr."
"Well, Edgarr, we seem to have discovered what now appears to be a tiny dragon. We found a giant egg under an old tree, in a storm, and it hatched into this little green creature."
Voice Actor
Elderly bookworm. Librarian of a deserted castle, proud of his full inch and a half. Scholarly, proud, a little pompous about his heritage, but kind and helpful.

"Samba! How arre ye, m'friend? I hav'n' seen ye forr yon long time. And Mistress Cindy! Ye have brought her shining presence, too!"
"I'll read it for you. It says 'Dragons have scourged the land for as long as man can remember... bringing Terror and Death wherever they roamed... Brave warriors went out to battle the fierce dragons and rid their people of its curse.'"
Voice Actor
Human girl, 12. A sturdy, capable scout with a sash full of badges - the youngest first-class scout in her troop's history. Earnest, curious, and determined; a natural detective.

"This is crazy! But they might just look the same only... smaller. Tiny dragon prints? That's just crazy. Well, this is too big a mystery to ignore. I'm going to track these prints and observe and sketch it in person. I'll set out first thing in the morning and see where this creature is going, possibly with Squirrely. I will track these creatures and if they need protecting, I will protect them! This is a Quest for the valiant Knight Scout!"

"Oh... yes, my father told me about a place like that. A valley, I think he said, high up in the mountains where humans don't go. He showed us a trail once on the far side of the woods. He said it was an ancient trail that led far up into the mountains. Would you like me to show you that trail?"
"Well, my father mentioned one thing once. He said 'Beware of the silver spider webs.'"
Voice Actor
Giant silver spider. Guard of the mountain woods, Episode 8. Menacing but not evil - a gatekeeper with a dark sense of humor. Voice: a menacing low whisper with a nasty, jealous tone. Written with a lisp; slow, silky, unsettling delivery with menacing chuckles. About 8 speaking cues. Can double with another supporting role. Pays $150 per half-day session; records in-studio in Los Angeles (local actors only, in person).
"You mean the sanctuary. I've heard of that place. It's for rare creatures, 'endangered' by humans. We silver spiders are special, too, but not rare enough to get in."
"Yes, yes, mmm, follow the silver spider webs until you reach a deep ravine. You must find a way across it. Look for a fallen tree bridge marked with a star. But beware what's ahead."
"I could kill you with one bite, Mr. Rat, and eat you later. (chuckling menacingly) I'd love a little rat wrap."
Voice Actor
Human man, older adult, short and a bit round in stature. The experienced scoutmaster of Camp Grey Squirrel. Warm, steady, supportive - a kind authority figure.

"Well, thanks for letting me know. I'm sure you have all you need to survive in the wild for a few days."
Voice Actor
Baby dragon. Green, with a golden crest, tiny claws, and smoke rising from his nostrils. The heart of the show. Innocent, curious, gentle. Voice: he only whispers to himself, in a higher voice while he is young, deepening as he grows. Almost entirely nonverbal in Episodes 1-8 - baby-like burbles, snorts, sniffs, nervous breathing, smoke-blast sneezes, happy munching. His one spoken line in the season is his first words, "Shadow Tail" (Episode 7). Pays $150 per half-day session; records in-studio in Los Angeles (local actors only, in person).
Record a short reel of: curious sniffing and happy leaf-munching; a startled squeak and a smoke-blast sneeze; sleepy dragon snores; excited burbling; and one clear, awed whisper of "Shadow Tail."
