If you’ve ever watched the show, you may have been confused about each character, especially since they have very different appearances.

What about the other characters? Panini is also a cat-bear-rabbit hybrid, although she’s pink, not purple. Panini has an unrequited love for Chowder. Mung Daal, the chef, is a blue humanoid at least 450 years old. Shnitzel, another iconic character, is a gray-colored rock monster. He is an excellent chef and only communicates by saying “Radda.” Truffles, Mung’s wife, is an old mushroom pixie/fairy.
