GrooGnouf.

How to get a tan when you're blue?

Among all the Gnoufs, GrooGnouf considers himself the wise one and the leader of the pack. A mediator of conflicts, rarely excessive in his remarks, he loves being the center of attention and answering all sorts of questions. A distinguished botanist, GrooGnouf is a lover of nature and its secrets, which are all fascinating puzzles for his curious mind.

His teeming imagination drives him to always want to unravel the mystery of things. Always immersed in the Great Book, the true Gnouf encyclopedia, he transforms a simple question into the inexhaustible source of metaphysical reflection.

His field of knowledge truly covers a wide range of subjects! From the water cycle to the secret life of snowmen, not forgetting the secrets of Roquefort cheese making, GrooGnouf has an answer for everything.

RabGnouf.

It's gonna blow!

For RabGnouf, exploring life on Earth is a constant source of wonder, but also of rebellion. Indeed, he can't stand it when things aren't exactly as he'd like them.

Independent, rebellious, and insolent, RabGnouf can only do what pleases him.

Overflowing with love for nature and the animals he protects, he regards humans with suspicion, holding them responsible for Earth's misfortunes. A fan of television programs, he also loves surfing the web all night long to order the latest gadgets, gizmos, and trendy treats before testing them out, much to the despair of the other Gnoufs.

RabGnouf, a great but misunderstood artist, believes the whole world envies his genius. He loves to knead: to make, paint, create with whatever he can get his hands on, and lets out long exclamations of admiration at the miracle of his accomplished works.

A great specialist of Captain Iztroo, he knows how to capture the attention of the Gnoufs with the extraordinary tale of the exploits of the legendary and anonymous Captain with whom, it seems, he is in contact.

GigaBab.

Hey, you bunch of idiots!

A bon vivant in the donkey, he's more inclined to get carried away than to try to understand. Simply existing is enough for his happiness. He also likes to mock GrooGnouf, who's "looking for the smallest detail" by always wanting to analyze everything.

Lyrical, cheerful, and spontaneous, his imposing presence also makes him the striking force of the newbies when the need arises. He loves to carry his friends on his back and serve as their sled or trampoline.

Altruistic, he often dedicates himself to small, modest actions that make life easier for those around him: cracking nuts with a kick of his heel to help the squirrels gather fruit, jumping over fallen trees, delicately breaking a breadcrumb too heavy for an ant to carry, or conjuring up a cloud to make a few drops rain on a flower.

Apart from these daring initiatives, he likes to gorge himself on ice cream while watching the most idiotic animated series on TV. Sad or upset, he can stay in bed all day without speaking, sulking conspicuously.

HippelGnouf.

Oh dear! That's grim!

A word of advice: Don't get on HippelGnouf's bad side, because of all the Gnoufs, he's definitely the grumpiest.

Often dismayed by his friends' behavior, HippelGnouf is never stingy with advice or criticism because, in every situation, he sincerely believes he could handle it much better than his neighbor. Moody and disingenuous, HippelGnouf can switch from euphoria to anger in a flash.

Perhaps his fluctuating mood is explained by the doubts that regularly assail him. Do his friends really love him? Isn't he too fat? And his blue? Isn't it too navy?

MiniBab.

Hey, tell me! I'm not the right one! His incurable naiveté makes MiniBab the target of the most idiotic pranks.

However, he knows how to be cunning enough to practice the art of the biter bit, thus turning situations to his advantage: Gullible but not stupid, when he's "fed up with being nice," MiniBab knows how to set the record straight and put his friends in their place.

Sensitive, jovial, and full of compassion, MiniBab overflows with positive energy: Gifted with empathy for all living creatures, he believes they all possess a soul and a secret.

Endowed with a constant sense of wonder, MiniBab is capable of marveling for hours at a mushroom, a cloud, or an aniseed.

Convinced that goodwill guides all action and that ignorance is the root of all evil, he firmly believes that a good conversation would be enough to turn a wild animal... A vegetarian and an intelligent man.

KreepyGnouf.

Ding-a-ding! Ding-a-ding!

In this mystery box hides the strangest of the Gnoufs.

Indeed, this hysterical fellow suddenly and abruptly appears to offer an opinion no one asked for.

A sort of Cassandra with flashing bells, he roars, jokes, and belches at the end of his rope, making everyone jump. Gifted with magic, he can appear like a kazoo-playing snake, or sporting the latest fashionable hats.

ScopiGnouf.

I think he's gone mad!

ScopiGnouf gives the impression of being on a perpetual stroll through the world. He observes intensely: watches and laughs to himself.

Mysterious, he speaks little, and seeks neither to demonstrate his wit nor to make his opinion known. To the noisy exclamations of his friends, he prefers the silent contemplation of this beautiful planet Earth.

Resourceful and cunning, his words are rare but precious. People think he doesn't listen, hears nothing, daydreams? But his targeted and relevant interventions have the knack of ending debates in a radical way.

Captain Iztroo.

Official Space Monster Smasher

Indeed, this anonymous vigilante harbors a fierce hatred for Galactic Monsters, which he has sworn to smash to the last one. There's just one problem: space is empty and the monsters are invisible... But where are they? Captain STESUR is so disgusted he fumes thinking about all those people in "Star Wars" or "Star Trek," swept away in maelstroms of explosions and perils, and confronted by hordes of slimy monsters! But, darn it! Nothing ever happens to him. So, while waiting to fight and bring about justice, he kills his boredom by listening to radio games. He enjoys karaoke, knitting, or keeping a journal filled with perfectly fictional heroic battles.

He therefore has all the time in the world to come to the rescue of his friends, the Gnoufs, when they find themselves in a sticky situation. But, decidedly, on earth as in heaven, nothing goes as planned! And his boasting generally only worsens the situations he's convinced he's solving upon arrival.
