- Skipper and Bluebell (voiced by Harland Williams and Kristen Schaal): Two blue-grey rabbits. Skipper wears either a blue and white or blue and red striped sweater (similar to Reader Rabbit's) or a blue and white or blue and red striped t-shirt. Bluebell wears a pink sweater or a pink t-shirt with a smiling carrot on either of them.
- Turner (voiced by Gaten Matarazzo): A turtle and friend of the boy cubs. Turner can be describe a the smart one he's also an inventor.

In warm weather, he wears either a green or baby blue t-shirt and sometimes either a green or baby blue baseball cap. Because of his size, he is often nervous and high-strung.
- Freddie (voiced by Roger Craig Smith): A raccoon and friend of the boy cubs who tends to be a troublemaker. He enjoys staring at females in bikinis in which he calls them "chickens," which Bluebell (usually accompanied by either slapping him in the face or squeezing his neck [similar to Homer Simpson's gag to Bart]), Bearbette, Frisky or Robin scold him for. He usually calls grandparents "fuddy-duddies," which Buttons scolds him for. Whenever he pulls a prank with girls, they usually either clonk him in the head, get his rear end kicked, squirt water in his face and/or beat him up (ending with duct taping his mouth) always responded with "Serves you right for invading girls' privacy." But like Johnny, Buttons, Rusty and the rest of the critters in Chucklewood Park, he is on the lookout for any villain who could wreak havoc in the park and in the suburb, including Zak Vaderman, who he calls "Jack Spaderman," much to Zak's annoyance. He dislikes being called "Frederick" (usually by a bully or Delilah Denara) as he scolds at anyone who does this to him for. What also makes Freddie not a bad raccoon is that he rescues his friends (even when he pranks them) from extreme situations such as in "Joker's Wildlife," when Buttons dresses up as Sasquatch to prank him and gets captured by stupid researchers after he provokes him to do so, Freddie gets very remorseful and guilty. He wears either a red T-shirt or a red sweater with a raccoon skull on either of them.
- Philbert (voiced by Mike Pollock): Freddie's father who wears red overalls. He's a carpenter and a mechanic. He has a trike motorcycle named "Leappinwolf" (a reference to his favorite rock band whom is famous for his motorcycle anthem). Like Freddie, he enjoys staring at females in bikinis (around his age) but instead of calling them "chickens," he stares in front of them real close, which Rosie clonks him in the head. But Philbert is a good father to Freddie such as in "Freddie Gets Bullied," when he comforts Freddie after Freddie gets bullied. He is also shown to be generous such as in "The Three MarkeTEERS," when he lets Robin and the girl cubs borrow Leappinwolf.
- Lester Eli Gator (voiced by Dave Willis): A green Cajun alligator who lives in Crystal Bayou and a close friend of Bearbette and Frisky and Bearbette's family.
- Quacker (voiced by Dana Snyder): A white duck and denizen of the forest. He often ends his sentences with quacks. He wears either a red or yellow scarf with a red winter hat, a red postman's hat or a red baseball cap when not delivering messages.
- Franklin (voiced by Kenan Thompson): A brown barn owl and the boy cubs' teacher. He also have various skills from daredevil to musician. He wears glasses (like in the original series), which were briefly blown away in the wind (without being broken) and stolen by Syco the Snake. As of "Look, Ma! No Glasses!", he wears eye contacts but he still wears his glasses as a backup.
- Ranger Rodrigo a.k.a. "Roddy" (voiced by Kel Mitchell): An overweight Hispanic-American park ranger who's hard-working and determined. He is also assistant to Jonesy. Roddy does not enjoy Buttons and Rusty's company (especially Rusty) due to the fact they irritate him (much to Johnny's displeasure, prompting him to tell him to calm down), despite later admitting that they didn't mean to.
Villains[]
- Zachary "Zak" Vaderman (voiced by Tom Kenny): The CEO of Vaderman World, Inc. and a robotics inventor with a vocal impression of Gilbert Gottfried, who is the critters' archenemy. He grew up alongside Jonesy and the boy cubs' folks. According to Jonesy, Zak's attitude is worse than Freddie's. He tries to develop hotels, vacation spots, new products and new inventions in Chucklewood Park and the suburb mainly by controlling critters' minds and using them as workers mainly to make money. His plans are always foiled by the critters. Zak usually calls Buttons "Bear Kid" and Rusty "Fox Boy." As a running gag, he calls the critters "Chucklewood Litters," with the critters usually correcting him. Buttons and Rusty's rivalry with Zak is surprisingly friendly and comedic, due to the boy cubs' pacifistic nature, even though they know he is an enemy and they don't trust him. He is always designing robots, usually around animals. His most frequently seen invention is the ZakRobo. Although he has a house in the suburb, he also has a skyscraper located in the same place. This skyscraper is where the ZakRobos are produced. When travelling long distances, he uses either his van, his truck or his airship. Otherwise, he usually rides on the shoulders of a ZakRobo. He is scared of the dark (as seen in "Abner's Diet"). His favorite food is tomato soup. Most times, Zak attempts to commit acts of crime, including piracy, hacking, trespassing and hijacking. He also attempted to kill the boy cubs. He doesn't like it when other villains (except for Zazzy Zeke) tell his ZakRobos what to do as shown in the Season 2 episode "I Saw a Dragon," where he gets angry at Gourmad for telling his ZakRobos to dig. He is also the leader of Zak Vaderman's Villains Club, which Delilah Denara, Dario, Chef Galton Gourmad, Patty Parker and Reg are members of. He has been in most episodes, which could almost make him the main antagonist of the series.
- Ezekiel "Zazzy Zeke" (voiced by Larry Miller): A heterochromic (blue right eye and brown left eye) swindler and Zak Vaderman's associate. He helps Zak find some way to con people out of their money. He usually gets annoyed when the ZakRobos take Zak literally. Though he is scheming and underhanded like his associate, he maintains a somewhat cordial relationship with Ranger Jones, Johnny, the boy cubs and the rest of critters, even though they know he is an enemy and they don't trust him. According to "Smokin' Tongues," he is surprisingly allergic to tobacco. He usually refers to Zak Vaderman as his "chief." He was arrested for thirty counts of abusing critters, damaging property and theft in "Who is DD?" Despite this, he still communicates with his associate through the jail's inmate video-call service while Zak uses either his watch, tablet or computer to communicate with him as revealed in "The Great Theme Park Rescue Part 1: The School Picnic." He is based off of Raffish Ralph from The Berenstain Bears and later Karen Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants. Interestingly, both Zeke and Karen's voice actors are married.
- ZakRobos (voiced by Frank Welker): Robot minions that work for and are created by Zak Vaderman. Their infamous weakness is that they are very literal minded. This means that the ZakRobos do exactly what Zak tells them to do, but not always what he means (much to Zazzy Zeke's annoyance). For example, when Zak exclaimed "Somebody pinch me!" in "The Three MarkeTEERS," a ZakRobo literally pinched him, and he returned with an "I didn't mean literally!"
- Lord Morlock (voiced by Richard Doyle): A villain who first appeared in the season finale of Season 1. He is a short (same height as Buttons and Rusty), green dragon-like sorcerer with small wings who wears a purple cloak. In his debut episode, he casts a spell on everyone in Chucklewood Park, corrupting them with "anger" to turn them against each other. He can turn into a giant dragon with a jewel worn around his neck, which he also uses to turn other villains' possessions into powerful weapons or merge their robot armies into single giant robots. Despite the fact that he is a villain and a dark sorcerer, his level of intimidation is rather low due to the fact that he still lives with his mother. His face bears a resemblance to that of Ripto from the Spyro series.
- Orcro (voiced by ):
- Thump (voiced by ):
- Mama Morlock (voiced by Jill Talley):
- Spyler (voiced by Frank Welker): Morlock's pet giant-spider with a large horn who along with Orcro, Thump and Mama Morlock makes his first appearance in the Season 2 episode "Rusty's Cousin Catastrophe."
- Syco the Snake (voiced by Steve Blum): A mischievous snake who lives in the dump and brings bad influences to the critters in Chucklewood Park. He encouraged Buttons and Rusty to smoke in "Smokin' Tongues." He is also responsible for writing the bad word on Jonesy's trash can that Buttons, Rusty, Bearbette and Frisky read off of in "Sailor Scouts." He is the owner of the book of dirty tricks. He is notable for being the first antagonist in the series to be a critter (a snake).
- Randal the Wizard (voiced by Dana Snyder): A grouchy wizard who lives in a cabin in Chucklewood Park. He disguises as a woodsman to avoid attention. He can also be very sneaky such as in "Locked in the Library," where he tries to steal books from the library. Randal is friends with the boy cubs at times, making him an anti-hero and making him similar to the Amoeba Boys from The Powerpuff Girls. His face bears a resemblance to that of Yosemite Sam from Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. After the events of this series, he became a supporting character.

Rusty manages to escape back to Chucklewood Park to come up with a plan to rescue Buttons and the eggs and retrieve the stolen ice cream.
