• Howie (voiced by Robert Tinkler) is a pale-yellow dog and manager of the Banana Cabana. He is hyperactive, very dimwitted, impulsive, and almost always cheerful and likes annoying everyone else. He is also completely oblivious to his sister's evil nature.
• Octo (voiced by Howard Jerome) is an overly cautious blue octopus and the desk clerk, as well as Howie's best friend.
• Bunny (voiced by Emilie-Claire Barlow) is a sometimes short-tempered yellow rabbit and activity planner with a sugary personality (subject to mood swings).
• Duck (voiced by David Berni) is a tan-colored duck who does every random job and tries anything to get it done. It was revealed in the episodes "The Sun Howie Always Wanted" and "Mini Howies" that his full name is Archibald William Nightingale Duck III. As a running gag, Duck often appears during a problem with a non sequitur.
• Piggy "Willberforce" Pig (voiced by Seán Cullen) is a pale pink-colored pig who is a ninja-trained master chef with a Bulgarian accent. He speaks broken English.
• Narwhal (voiced by Seán Cullen) is a self-centered, periwinkle-colored narwhal who loves to sing (he is the lounge performer).
• Sloth (voiced by Linda Kash) is a peach-colored sloth and the bellhop of the Banana Cabana. She has a crush on Howie. She also does everything slowly. She moves around using her luggage cart.

• Poodle (voiced by Alyson Court) is a pink-colored poodle and Howie's evil older sister who owns a rival hotel called the Chateau Chattoo. She always tries to ruin Howie's fun and tries to take over Howie's hotel.
• Batty (voiced by Julie Lemieux) is a purple-colored bat who is Poodle's evil minion. In the episode "Oh Brother, Who Art Thou?", Batty reveals to Howie that he is his long-lost cousin.

• Dirk Danger (voiced by Christian Potenza) is a chipmunk who has a career (more or less) as a stuntman. He is Howie's role model.
• Radiation Rooster (voiced by Adrian Truss) is the Radioactive Microwave Sales Rooster. His limbs fall off and he is portrayed as unintelligent.

He started a few contests like the limited edition blue and green can contest and the Fuzzy Orange Happy Land contest. He has a floating factory which is a large boat.
• Hippo (voiced by Jamie Watson) is a bluish gray-colored hippopotamus who often wears superhero attire.
• Mayor Trout (voiced by Dwayne Hill) is a trout.
