He has competition with Doggy Don.
  • Lambu (Larry, inspired by Marky) is the purple mouse of the group. He's describes as a show off. He is quite the jokester and he likes to hang around with the others. His catchphrase is "Don't make me get angry." He is competition to Colonel.
  • Motu (Marly, inspired by Dee-Dee) is the gray blue mouse of the gang. He always got a way with food, which sometimes starts to drive Chhotu (Charly) nuts. He's often to be the fool. He's the youngest member of the Chuha Party. He is competition to Major Saab.
  • Karnal (Colonel, inspired by Jack) is the over-proctective occasionally aggressive and arrogant older brother of Don. He's a muscular green dog with a soldier hat, tags, and white gloves.
