Wild Kratts

Plot

Episodes

Cast

Main

• Martin Kratt – Martin likes to give names to animals he finds, allowing the audience to bond with the animal. Martin is more the jokester of the two Kratt brothers. He is also often rushing and impulsive, unlike his younger brother Chris. Plus, he is an exceptionally good artist. Martin is slightly disorganized, emotional, and excited, but also knows when to be serious. Despite being disorganized, Martin is prepared for any situation. In contrast to his brother Chris' climbing skills, Martin is a more experienced swimmer. His Creature Power suit color is blue. At times, Martin seems to know more about animals than Chris does, as shown in "Red Panda Rescue" and "Fire Salamander". He also likes to get into the mind of the animal at various times, saying such things as "Be the walrus!" He has a childish heart, due to his fun and humorous nature. He also seemed to have become more technical throughout the show since he created an almost perfect Creature Power disc in "The Erminator".
• Chris Kratt – Chris is the exact opposite of his brother and the more methodical brother of the two. Unlike Martin, he likes to take his time testing animals' DNA to understand the animals better and save them from the villains. Chris is organized, intellectual, and calm, but can be narrow-minded, as seen in "A Huge Orange Problem" when he insisted that orangutans were incapable of thinking on human levels. His Creature Power Suit color is green. He is an experienced climber, although in one episode, he falls from a tree and temporarily develops acrophobia.
• Aviva Corcovado – An engineer and inventor, and the leader of the Tortuga gang. She designs all of the inventions the Kratts use, which are usually inspired by nature. She is kind and she can be confident of her abilities and her opinions. Once she has made up her mind, it takes appealing to her emotions and overwhelming evidence to change it. She is also competitive, rivaling Zach in invention contests, the Kratts, and even nature itself, most notably in "Cheetah Racer", where she bet that she could invent a land vehicle faster than a cheetah. Her Creature Power Suit color is purple, as shown in episodes like "Birds of a Feather", "Groundhog Wake Up Call", "The Amazing Creature Race", and "Praying Mantis".
• Koki – A mechanic and computer expert, Koki works on the computer database of the Tortuga HQ, researches animals for the brothers, and often uses the computer to track the villains via satellite. She manages the communications system of the Tortuga, keeping in touch with Chris and Martin throughout their missions. She sometimes receives signals from other people who want to communicate with the Wild Kratts, and intercepts signals sent by the villains. She is not afraid to speak her mind and tell the truth as she sees it. Her Creature Power Suit color is gold, as shown in episodes like "When Fish Fly", "A Creature Christmas", and "The Amazing Creature Race"; the color was mentioned in the season 6 episode "Wolf Hawks", where she was called Gold Hawk.
• Jimmy Z – The pilot of the Tortuga HQ, who operates the ship's teleporter, and uses his game controller to teleport items and Creature Power Disks to the Kratts. He sometimes helps Aviva with inventions by handing her the items she needs as she works, which often has hilarious results when he helps her test the prototype. He does not have a Creature Power Suit, but his Creature Pod and scuba gear are both orange.

  Antagonists

• Zachary "Zach" Varmitech – A robotics inventor who grew up alongside the Kratts and met Aviva at summer camp. He tries to develop robots and inventions by controlling creatures' minds and then use them as workers or by selling the mind-controlled animals as products, and in certain cases, for his own benefit. He uses a jet while travelling long distances, and usually rides on the shoulders of a Zachbot otherwise. He is scared of the dark, as seen in "Platypus Cafe", and does not like it when other villains tell his Zachbots what to do.
• Donita Donata – A fashionista who travels using a pink jet and/or boat, and is never without the best comforts life can afford. Her main purpose is her clothing line, Donita Donata's Live Jewelry of Nature. She uses a pose beam to put animals in suspended animation and sell them as jewelry or clothing, and has also created robotic mannequins which go out and catch animals for her. Donita is used as a representation of real world fashion designers who use animal products in the manufacture their clothing.
• Dabio – Donita's muscular yet childike henchman, who tries to help Donita design her fashions, but usually fails to satisfy her. Though usually shown to be unintelligent, Dabio is able to remember facts about animals more correctly than Donita, but in Mystery of the Mini Monkey Models, he could not say the animal names correctly.
• Chef Gaston Gourmand – A traveling chef with a Southern accent. He prefers to cook and serve rare and/or endangered animals, which caused him to lose his chef's license. He usually travels in a camper that features a fold-out restaurant, but has also been seen using a jet and/or boat with a fold-out outdoor restaurant and kitchen.
• Paisley Paver – A businesswoman and the CEO of Paver Industries, who believes that turning natural landscapes into factories and parking lots will create a better world for future generations. She is depicted as determined, impatient, orderly, and bossy, but still respects her intern, Rex. Paisley is representation of the real world problem of construction companies building over natural habitats.
• Rex – Paisley's intern, who assists her in her plots against the Wild Kratts. Though usually enthusiastic, he is still evil, as he loves to operate Paisley's technology and flatten land for her building sites.
