The Penguins of Madagascar TV series
Marlene
Marlene (voiced by Nicole Sullivan in normal form and Dee Bradley Baker in wild form) is an Asian small-clawed otter residing at the Central Park Zoo. Marlene is shown to be both playful and kind towards others, which often conflicts with Skipper's serious and safety-cautious attitude. Though this is true, the two still share a very strong friendship with one another and still have the ability to keep that certain bond exceedingly strong, making it rather difficult to break.
Alice
Alice (voiced by Mary Scheer) is a zookeeper exclusive to The Penguins of Madagascar. She seems to dislike aspects of her job, and is happy to have a voice-automated robot guide give directions so she can avoid "annoying tour group questions".
Rat King
The Rat King (voiced by Diedrich Bader) is a genetically enhanced, muscular lab rat who resides in the sewer. He constantly torments the penguins and never learns his lesson when he's defeated each time.
Officer X
Officer X (voiced by Cedric Yarbrough) is a New York animal control officer who has a single-minded focus on removing stray animals from the streets. Officer X is shown to have a superhuman level of strength, crushing a small metal cage with his bare hands and defeating Joey, who even the penguins could not easily beat, head on, and Mason even suspects Officer X cannot be human.
Joey
Joey (voiced by James Patrick Stuart) is a bad-tempered and hostile Australian-accented red kangaroo that always refers to himself in the third person who loves beating up anyone who steps foot in his habitat, especially Skipper and Julien. He first appeared in the season one episode, "Assault and Batteries" and later on in "Cat's Cradle" when he tried to beat up Officer X but was badly hurt instead. He also appeared to have a big role in "Skorca!" In the season two episode, "Kanga-Management", the Penguins accidentally destroy the Koala habitat, forcing Leonard to temporarily live with Joey until the pen is re-built, much to their dismay. Eventually, the two settle their differences and become friends, agreeing on their shared hatred for the penguins.
Weirdly, he has a pouch even though he's male.
Leonard
Leonard (voiced by Dana Snyder) is an extremely paranoid and nervous koala. He was shown to be very afraid of the penguins. After being accidentally launched into the city due to Kowalski's evacuation launcher, the penguins come save him and bring him back to the zoo.
He appears again in "Kanga Management" in which the penguins accidentally destroy his enclosure, forcing him to temporarily live in Joey's enclosure. He and Joey eventually become friends due to their shared hatred for the penguins.
In "Nighty Night Ninja", he watches a martial arts film with the penguins while he waits for his home to air out, due to a fish bomb. This causes him to start attacking the other animals in a sleepwalking state the next day. The penguins cure him by making him watch The Lunacorns, and save him from vengeful sewer rats, whom he had attacked earlier.
Hans
Hans (voiced by John DiMaggio) is a puffin with a past history with Skipper that involves a mission in Denmark that somehow resulted in Skipper being declared Public Enemy Number One in the country in question. During "Huffin & Puffin", he appeared in New York, initially apparently wanting to make peace with Skipper, before his true agenda was revealed to be his attempt to take control of the Penguins' lair for revenge. With Skipper having infiltrated the lair and defeated Hans, he was then shipped to the Hoboken Zoo.
He appeared in "The Hoboken Surprise" and helped the penguins defeat the animal androids who had taken over the Hoboken Zoo.
He appeared in "The Return of the Revenge of Doctor Blowhole", working with Doctor Blowhole as part of a plan to take Skipper's memories away.
Dr. Blowhole
Dr. Blowhole (voiced by Neil Patrick Harris) is an evil, mad bottlenose dolphin scientist and supervillain, who plans to take revenge on the human race: In the past, Blowhole was known as "Flippy", and was forced by humans to perform tricks at Coney Island for their own amusement. Blowhole gets around by the use of a Segway-type vehicle while on land, which also projects a glass dome around it.
Rhonda
Rhonda (voiced by Kathy Kinney) is a very rude, unhygienic, lazy and obnoxious walrus. She is transferred into Marlene's habitat. At first Marlene is excited to have another girl to hang out with, but gets annoyed by Rhonda very quickly due to her disgusting and obnoxious behavior. She asks the penguins to ship her out overnight, but stops the shipment after hearing she is getting taken to a polar bear reserve. Instead they send her to the Hoboken Zoo. At the end, we see that she is one of Dr. Blowhole's agents and stole Kowalski's plasma cutter.
She appears again, as an ally this time, in "The Hoboken Surprise" where she, Hans, Clemson, Lulu and Savio help the penguins fight off animal androids in the Hoboken Zoo.
Bada and Bing
Bada (voiced by John DiMaggio) and Bing (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) are giant Brooklyn-accented eastern lowland gorillas. Bada is a gray-furred gorilla and Bing is a brown-furred gorilla. They served as thuggish bodyguards for Maurice, but they have been seen displaying softer sides upon other occasions, such as when they looked after Mort in "The Penguin Stays in the Picture" while a photographer was there as an unrequested favor to Private, who wanted to be on the cover of the zoo brochure.
Burt
Burt (voiced by John DiMaggio in the TV series and Fred Tatasciore in the video games) is an Indian elephant who was just an extra zoo animal during the beginning of the series, but then evolved into a character of greater focus as the series evolved.
Burt is shown to be obsessed with peanuts, and when he does not eat them, he goes insane as shown in "Jungle Law". He nearly eats Julien when he mistakes him for a peanut.
Roger
Roger (voiced by Richard Kind) is the penguins' American alligator friend who lives in the sewer. In the episode "Gator Watch", Roger is captured by animal control and transferred to the Central Park Zoo. He has dreams of becoming a star at the Broadway.
Max
Max (voiced by Wayne Knight) is the penguins' stray tabby cat friend who lives in an alley near Central Park. He first meets the four penguins in the episode "Launchtime" when the penguins end up on a rooftop across the street from the zoo instead of on the moon. At first, the penguins thought he was a "mooncat", but at the end they figure out he was just a stray cat. Max is skinny and hopes to catch a bird in his life. He at first wanted to eat the penguins, but was so touched when he was given a can of fish by them that he became their friend instead.
Duck Family
The Duck Family are a family of ducks that live in a pond in Central Park.
- Mother Duck (voiced by Tara Strong) is a white duck who is the mother of Bradley, Samuel, Ramona, and Eggy.
- Eggy (voiced by Tara Strong) is a duckling who is the son of Mother Duck and the brother of Ramona, Samuel and Bradley. In "Paternal Egg-Stinct", Marlene found an abandoned egg in her habitat. She gave it to the penguins to look after. Julien wanted the egg for himself. He called it Julien Junior, or JJ for short. Private called the egg Eggy. At the end, Marlene brings Mother Duck to the penguins to get her duckling back. Unfortunately, the effects of the Penguins' training goes to a point where Mother Duck asks the Penguins to do something to stop him as seen in "Hard Boiled Eggy." Their attempts to show Eggy the dangerous portion of their missions fails, as the duckling goes on a rampage taking down all the animals in the zoo (except Julien).
- Ramona, Bradley and Samuel (voiced by Jessica DiCicco) are ducklings who are Eggy's siblings and Mother Duck's children. Like Eggy's previous personas before becoming more like Julien in Hard Boiled Eggy, they crave action and mayhem.
Fred
Fred (voiced by Fred Stoller) is a dimwitted squirrel that lives in Central Park and takes everything said literally and has a slow, unemphatic speech pattern. Kowalski met Fred briefly in the "Otter Gone Wild" episode, while the full penguin group met him in "Mask of the Raccoon" where he is friends with Archie despite the fact that Archie is no good.
Roy
Roy (voiced by Danny Jacobs) is a short-tempered white rhinoceros, appearing predominantly as an extra zoo animal for the majority of the series. When given more of a role, he often appears to have little-to-no patience for any animal that provokes him, usually responding with threats.
Pinky
Pinky (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) is a sassy American flamingo, who usually only appears as an extra zoo animal in the series. Her only main role, so far, is when she was used for aerial support when the penguins wanted to take fish from a fish delivery truck. Somehow she wound up getting all the fish for herself by the end of the episode.
In the episode "Operation: Good Deed" the penguins need one of Pinky's feathers so that Julien would let Maurice massage Mason. She agrees to give them one after they got her peanuts through a series of additional tasks.
Darla
Darla (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is a very tough, unfriendly, aggressive, tomboyish, determined but also kind-hearted, sweet and caring Western-accented Guinea baboon. She appears mainly as a background zoo animal. Carol and Jillian (voiced by Grey DeLisle) are Darla's baboon friends who are often seen with her.
Shelly
Shelly (voiced by Melissa McCarthy) is an ostrich who lives in the Central Park Zoo. For most of the series, she only appears as a background zoo animal.
Her first major role and her first speaking role so far is in the episode "Love Takes Flightless". In this episode she falls for Rico after he saves her from being frozen in cement by demolishing it. She tries to get Rico's attention by hiding his doll in the dumpster. After seeing how upset Rico was about it, she helps the penguins get it back from the garbage truck. At the end, Shelly gets herself a muscular male doll and becomes happy with it.
Despite her gender, she has the colors of a male ostrich.
Becky and Stacy
Becky (voiced by Jennette McCurdy) and Stacy (voiced by Victoria Justice) are two American badgers that are residents of the zoo. They are prone to having to put up with badger stereotypes.
Private was initially fearful of badgers, but Becky and Stacy won his heart by giving him Peanut Butter Winkies. After Private left, Becky and Stacy started badgering Marlene into doing wild and crazy things with them. Marlene, annoyed, tells them to stop badgering her. They ended up attacking Marlene due to the use of badger stereotypes. They were eventually defeated when Marlene fell outside the park and went into her wild state. After that incident, Becky and Stacy appear to respect and fear Marlene since they all have a picnic with the penguins in the park with the two of them being held in between wild Marlene's arms.
Randy
Randy (voiced by Will Friedle) is a sheep who lives at the Children's Zoo at the Central Park Zoo. Children are constantly coming to pet him. Many of them have sticky hands due to eating too much candy, causing him to bite one.
Muffy, Buffy and Fluffy
Muffy, Buffy and Fluffy (voiced by Kristen Schaal) are three adorable, cute, and cuddly rabbits who reside in the Central Park Children's Zoo. As shown in the show they appear to be cute and innocent but they happen to be very good fighters.
Clemson
Clemson (voiced by Larry Miller) is a very descriptive and exuberant bamboo lemur who made his first appearance in the episode "Right Hand Man". After being transferred to the Central Park Zoo, Clemson tried to replace Maurice as Julien's right-hand man by constantly pampering him. Mort found out that Clemson was planning to ship Julien to the Hoboken Zoo so that he could take over as king. The Penguins later turn the tables on him by pushing Clemson into the crate to be sent off himself.
Lulu
Lulu (voiced by Jane Leeves) is a female chimpanzee. She was staying at the Central Park Zoo while her habitat in the Hoboken Zoo was being repaired. Once she showed up, Phil fell in love with her. When Mason tries to set the two up, she thinks Mason is asking her out. After several failed attempts by the penguins and King Julien to show off Phil's skills, Phil explains the whole situation to her in American Sign Language and she agrees to go out with him before she has to leave.
Doris
Doris (voiced by Calista Flockhart) is a dolphin and Dr. Blowhole's sister. Kowalski has a crush on her who is spoken of in several episodes. As shown in "Hot Ice", Kowalski sees her as a love interest, though it appears to be unrequited. Her first and only appearance was in "The Penguin Who Loved Me".
Savio
Savio (voiced by Nestor Carbonell) is a large Spanish-accented green anaconda who attacked the animals on three occasions. When he was initially transferred to the zoo in "The Big Squeeze", the penguins suspected him of being the cause of the disappearance of the lemurs and Marlene, but his cage appeared inescapable; the only means of departure was a vent that Savio could have used when unfed but would have been unable to access when returning. Skipper realises that he was instead using the vent to access the keypad that controlled his cage locks with his tail, allowing him to open his cage. He was defeated on this occasion when the penguins lured him into Burt's habitat, with Burt throwing Savio around and squeezing him through the bars to expel his previously-eaten victims. Alice later had Savio transferred to the Hoboken Zoo.
The Vesuvius Twins
The Vesuvius Twins (both voiced by Atticus Shaffer) are two schoolboys from a very wealthy family. They are disliked by all of the animals of the zoo because of how nasty they are. Even though they are repeatedly banned from going near the animals, they usually get around the ban because of their parent's wealth, e.g. purchasing all of the tickets for an event at the zoo. Private often encourages others to show kindness to the boys, choosing to believe that they are secretly good.
Their name is derived from the volcano Mount Vesuvius.
Cecil and Brick
Cecil (voiced by French Stewart) and Brick (voiced by John DiMaggio) are two criminals that have occasionally run afoul of the Penguins.
Archie
Archie (voiced by Rob Paulsen) is a raccoon with a Robin Hood-like motive and a friend of Fred. He has been going around stealing from the zoo and supposedly giving to the poor. His plot was exposed by the Penguins upon learning about him from Fred and ends up having to give to the poor for real.
In "The Big Move", Archie appears as a property agent where he tries to sell Rico a house. In this appearance, he is not in his Robin Hood costume and not using a French accent.
Amarillo Kid
The Amarillo Kid (voiced by Jeff Bennett) is a Southern-accented nine-banded armadillo.
A long time ago, the Amarillo Kid challenged Private to a game of mini golf, back when Private was one of the best mini golf players and was known as Mr. Tux. Private quit after the game, which ended in a tie, because he had to hit a little possum girl's ice cream cone to tie it up. Though Private admitted that the pressure made him quit after all. Several years later in "Mr. Tux", he arrived at the Central Park Zoo to challenge Private to a game to prove he's the best. At first, Private refuses to fight him. Enraged by this, the Kid locked down the entire zoo and threatened to blow it up with a thermonuclear reactor. Private battles him, and though the game is close, Private wins with the help of a cricket he had saved earlier. Ashamed, the Amarillo Kid leaves.
Miss Perky
Miss Perky (voiced by Tara Strong) is Rico's doll girlfriend. While not alive, Rico does treat her as if she was.
Granny Squirrel
Granny Squirrel (voiced by Debbie Reynolds) first appeared as a granny of Fred in "The Lost Treasure of the Golden Squirrel", but then the gang believed she is a ghost.
Barry
- Barry (voiced by Kevin McDonald) is a strawberry poison-dart frog who is a transfer from the Hoboken Zoo and begins terrorizing the animals by temporarily poisoning Skipper, Kowalski and Rico. Private manages to stop him by putting on a steel suit and hugging him, making Barry realize he only needed a friend.
Frances Alberta
Frances Alberta (voiced by Megan Hilty) is the presumptive head zookeeper at the Hoboken Zoo who was first shown to be a cheerful zookeeper who had worked to clean up the zoo's poor conditions, gaining the respect of resident animals Rhonda, Hans, Clemson, Savio, and Lulu. Frances also afforded the animals under her care many amenities, such as fine cuisine, massage chairs, and a fountain of cheese. It is later revealed that Frances never had the respect of her animals, whom she had simply sealed away under the ground and replaced with android look-alikes, all in an effort to meet her demanding standard for cleanliness and to get the attention of Parks Commissioner Pervis McSlade. At the end of the episode, Commissioner McSlade fires her and the Hoboken Police arrests her for making android look-alike animals and assault of a Bartender.
Nurse Shawna W. Smith
Shawna W. Smith (voiced by Joanna Garcia) is a zoo nurse that Private once had a crush on.
Uncle Nigel
Uncle Nigel (voiced by Peter Capaldi) is Private's uncle, who works as a spy for MI6, and comes to New York to visit his nephew and to find The Red Squirrel.
When around the penguins (minus Private), Nigel acted like a "posh nancycat". This was all part of his cover story. When captured by The Red Squirrel, Nigel was forced to tell Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico that he actually was a spy. It is unknown if Nigel really is Private's uncle in blood or not. Though it is possible that he is either an honorary uncle or perhaps one of Private's parents was the same species of penguin Nigel is and he is their brother whilst the other parent was the same species as Private.
Blue Hen
Blue Hen (voiced by Audrey Wasilewski) is a chicken who is a mute animal with psychic powers. Kowalski, being a sceptic, records her and sends the video on internet, hoping someone will figure out that Blue Hen is faking her powers, only for her to gain popularity.
She is then revealed to just be extremely intelligent rather than psychic, being able to figure out what's going to happen with analytical thinking. She can also talk and becomes an enemy of the penguins after they find out that she was waiting for someone like Kowalski to expose her so that she can gain popularity and power. Unable to defeat her rationally or by fighting, Kowalski sets up a plan to distract her by singing and dancing seductively, leading her to choose the wrong option. While she starts holding a grudge against Kowalski, she compliments his dancing ability and kisses him.
Manfredi and Johnson
Manfredi (voiced by James Patrick Stuart) and Johnson (voiced by Danny Jacobs) are penguins who were former members of Skipper's team. They are typically cited for the nature of their demise or a mistake they made as an example of what can happen if one lets their guard down or neglects their training. The exact method of their demise varies in each instance and in some cases are contradictory: killed by an exploding trap, killed by flying piranhas, losing vital internal organs, etc.
They are finally seen in "The Penguin Who Loved Me", in an enclosure in Seaville both with bruises and injuries, but very much alive. However, they have somehow injured their eyes. Manfredi has lost his left foot now replaced by a stick while Johnson broke his right flipper and seems to have a burn on his body. Johnson noticed the penguins and Doris "flying out" of Seaville and banged on the glass panel for help. Unfortunately for them, the penguins never noticed their desperate pleas and swam away saying they were never going to come back ever again.
Parker
Parker (voiced by Ty Burrell) is a platypus who was in a relationship with Doris, and he was hired by her to bring Kowalski in so that she could convince him to help free her brother, Francis. However, after Francis turned out to actually be Dr. Blowhole, Parker also reveals that he was hired by the lobsters to bring the amnesiac Blowhole back to them so that they could restore his memory. Afterwards, Parker double-crosses them in order to complete his mission.
All Hail King Julien
Clover
Clover (voiced by India de Beaufort) is a British-accented green-eyed crowned lemur who is King Julien's bodyguard and captain of the royal Ringtail Guard. She is smart, cunning, mature, but tends to be rather paranoid. She is brave to the point of recklessness and can be prone to sudden outbursts of violence, but can also be sweet, friendly and kindhearted towards her friends. In general, she and Maurice tend to be the voice of reason to keep Julien's crazy ideas in check. Clover is also a passionate and talented writer, authoring a series of fantasy novels about a warrior princess based on herself. In the series finale, she becomes queen of the mountain lemurs when she marries Sage Moondancer and moves to the Mountain Lemur Kingdom with him.
King Julien XII / Uncle King Julien
King Julien XII, also known as Uncle King Julien (voiced by Henry Winkler), is a ring-tailed lemur who is the maternal uncle of King Julien XIII. As Julien XIII's predecessor, Julien XII is a lazy, strict, paunchy, cowardly, and older lemur. During his reign, he ordered the entire kingdom to remain in silence to avoid fossa attacks. In the first episode, he gives the crown to his nephew and leaves when he learns from Masikura that the king of the lemurs will be eaten by the fossa, planning to reclaim the throne once King Julien dies. When King Julien saves the lemurs from the fossa, he is bitten on the butt and lives, fulfilling Masikura's prophecy and foiling Uncle King Julien's plan. Throughout the series, he plots numerous schemes to get rid of his nephew and become king again, even establishing his own rival nation called Feartopia. In the Season 5 episode "King Julien is Watching You", after he falls in love with Zora, a mountain lemur, Uncle King Julien gives up his pursuit of the crown and receives a pardon from King Julien so he can start a new life with her.
Masikura
Masikura (voiced by Debra Wilson) is a wise psychic chameleon who is King Julien's royal mystic advisor. She can read thoughts and predict others' futures by sticking her tongue to their forehead. Despite this ability, her predictions are not always accurate and can be interpreted differently. In the first episode, Masikura tells Uncle King Julien of a prophecy that the king of the lemurs would be eaten by the fossa, prompting him to hand over the crown to King Julien to avoid his fate. However the prophecy is fulfilled when King Julien is bitten on the butt while rescuing his subjects from the fossa, claiming she didn't say "all of [him]" would be eaten.
Xixi
Xixi (voiced by Betsy Sodaro) is an excitable and trustworthy toucan (although toucans aren't found in Madagascar in reality) and a lifelong friend of King Julien. She plays the role of the Lemur Kingdom's sole news reporter, informing the public on current events through a hollowed-out television set. She is a frequent party-goer who loves nightclubs and spring break. Despite her enthusiastic personality, she admits that she has low self esteem and that her news broadcasts give her a sense of purpose. Xixi has a habit of crash landing when she flies and shouts "Coming in hot!" when doing so.
Timo
Timo (voiced by Chris Miller in Madagascar and David Krumholtz in All Hail King Julien) is a socially awkward highland streaked tenrec scientist who is an expert on technology. King Julien first encountered Timo in "He Blinded Me with Science" where he replaced the batteries in King Julien's boom box after it ran out of power and appointed him as his royal "science wizard". Timo lives in an abandoned space capsule within the Cove of Wonders, a bay nearby the Lemur Kingdom that is polluted with garbage and other items discarded by humans from which he salvages most of the components for his inventions.
Sage Moondancer
Sage Moondancer, birth name Babak, also known as "Abisaydebaungungwahuliarfarfarf" (voiced by Jeff Bennett) is a buff and spiritualistic indri lemur (though he bears little resemblance to an indri). He tends to speak in spiritualist, hippie-like sentences nobody seems to understand. Despite his great strength and fighting skills, he is a devoted pacifist. He and Clover have a complicated romantic relationship - he is drawn to her but often feels threatened by her aggressiveness. Sage has made lifelong a bond with a giant hawk, who comes to his aid or to carry him off when it's needed; he can call him via squawking at any time. In Season 4, it's revealed that Sage is the firstborn prince of the Mountain Lemur Kingdom set to become king, but he abdicated the throne and left the kingdom to find his own destiny. Sage's tyrannical younger brother Koto became king in his place. After Koto's defeat at the end of Exiled, Sage assumes his responsibility as king of the Mountain Lemurs and marries Clover.
Karl
Karl (voiced by Dwight Schultz) is a devious fanaloka and self-proclaimed genius. He is a card-carrying villain who took it upon himself to become the arch-nemesis of King Julien. Known for his theatrics and love of over-complicated plans, Karl is the kind of villain who prefers to arch his nemesis rather than simply kill him. In "Revenge of the Prom", its shown that he went to school with Julien but went unnoticed despite multiple attempts to make friends with him. Karl is so persistent and dedicated to his goal of defeating King Julien that he refuses to let anyone else but him do so, even forming a temporary alliance with the king during the events of Exiled. When his final scheme fails in the episode "Karl-Mageddon", he retires to Florida with his pet cockroach, Chauncey.
Chauncey
Chauncey (vocal effects provided by Kevin Michael Richardson) is a Madagascar hissing cockroach who is Karl's pet and henchman. Chauncey spies on King Julien and reports anything he hears to Karl. In the episode "The Jungle Rooster", King Julien managed to convince Chauncey to join his side due to seeing Mary Ann as a rival for Karl's friendship. Eventually, Karl tells Chauncey he would never choose Mary Ann over him and they become best friends again.
Ted
Theodore "Ted" Pantskin (voiced by Conrad Vernon in Madagascar and Andy Richter in All Hail King Julien) is a slight-accented red-fronted lemur and co-captain of the Ringtail Guard. Ted has a flamboyant and outgoing personality as well as an interest in performing arts. He is very emotional and will often wet himself out of joy or fear. He is married to Dorothy, though its implied he actually doesn't have much interest in her as a spouse. Despite being second in command for the royal guard, Ted is seldom seen performing guard duties due to his cowardice and lack of combat skills compared to Clover. He becomes a better fighter during the events of Exiled with the help of an imaginary macho alter-ego named Snake. Ted is later appointed the new captain of the guard when Clover leaves the kingdom in the series finale.
Dorothy
Dorothy (voiced by Sarah Thyre) is a mongoose lemur with a Minnesotan accent. Dorothy is sweet, caring, and presumably good at cooking and often calls others "sweetie" or "hun". She is married to Ted, to whom she often shows affection, but is seemingly oblivious that Ted is not as happy in their marriage as she is.
Willie
Willie (voiced by Cody Cameron in Madagascar and Jeff Bennett in All Hail King Julien) is a golden bamboo lemur. Willie is cowardly and has a tendency to see the worst in everything. He is easily frightened and over dramatic. His catchphrase is screaming "We're all gonna die!" whenever there is any crisis at hand. Consequently, King Julien and the other lemurs tend to blame Willie for things he is not even responsible for, much to his confusion and annoyance.
Pancho
Pancho (voiced by Danny Jacobs) is a crowned lemur with an extensive criminal record. Though not evil, Pancho is often involved with shady activity around the kingdom along with his literal partner in crime, Andy Fairfax. He speaks with a New York accent and is prone to mood swings and impulsive actions, making him a bit of a wild card. Pancho is also a ladies man having been married twice. It is revealed in "The Panchurian Candidate" that he's the last surviving member of Uncle King Julien's sleeper agent program and can become the perfect assassin if activated with mixtape with strange music on it.
Horst
Horst (voiced by Jeff Bennett) is a blue-eyed black lemur. As said by Clover in the episode "My Fair Foosa", not much is known about him. He is kind of a loner, fears change, and is always seen holding a beverage in a coconut shell which he has a habit of accidentally spilling. It was also revealed in the same episode that he was married to a fossa named Mary Ann but she mauled him twice because of his snoring. The two eventually got back together in the series finale. Horst often performs as a DJ under the stage name "DJ Glitter-Bunz".
Hector
Hector (voiced by Jeff Bennett) is an incredibly moody black-and-white ruffed lemur. According to Maurice, Hector hates everybody and everything. Despite his bitterness, he does admit that King Julien is doing a better job than the previous kings, even though he is one of the few unwilling to go along with Julien's crazy schemes. Hector is in charge of the Lemur Kingdom's mango supply as the "Prime Minister of Mangoes". In the episode "The Butterfly War" he is revealed to be a war veteran.
Becca and Abner
Becca and Abner are an anti-monarchist lemur couple. After procrastinating on their request to clean their polluted watering hole, King Julien encounters them under his alias of "Banana Guy Mike", and fixes their problem. Still in disguise, King Julien inadvertently rallies an angry mob against himself, which he dubs the Lemur Alliance Liberation Army (LALA). King Julien is later able to dissolve the mob by apologizing for not doing enough to help with their problems, but Becca and Abner come to the conclusion that the king killed Banana Guy Mike and vow to avenge him by getting King Julien off his throne. The two remain the sole members of LALA and consider themselves a resistance movement, albeit they are very inept and know not much about the democracy they fight for.
- Becca (voiced by Sarah Thyre) is an orange-eyed white-headed lemur with a Southern drawl who is Abner's wife and the leader of LALA. Though not very intelligent, she is the brains of the duo and comes up with most of their plans to overthrow King Julien.
- Abner (voiced by Jeffrey Katzenberg in Madagascar, Diedrich Bader in a Southern accent in All Hail King Julien) is a blue-eyed lemur who is Becca's husband. He is dim-witted yet loyal and devoted and to the resistance.
Mary Ann
Mary Ann (voiced by Debra Wilson) is a female fossa and Horst's secret lover. First appearing in "My Fair Foosa", she was captured in one of Clover's traps while attacking the kingdom. King Julien has the idea to domesticate and educate her so she can tell the rest of the fossa not to eat his people. Mary Ann eventually becomes intelligent and learns to speak clearly, promising to help the kingdom any way she can. When King Julien becomes worried her influence on the citizens may instigate a rebellion, he and Clover provoke Mary Ann's predatory instincts. She captures and prepares to eat every lemur in the kingdom, only to be saved by Horst who reveals that Mary Ann is his ex-wife and convinces her to give him a second chance. Their relationship doesn't last long however and she returns to the fossa territory, becoming their leader and plots world domination. She and Horst eventually get back together at the end of the series.
Crimson
Crimson (voiced by India de Beaufort) is a blue-eyed crowned lemur who is the twin sister of Clover and the opposite of her. Crimson is reckless, seductive, and fun-loving - leaving a trail of destruction everywhere she goes. She and her sister have a strained relationship caused by their sibling rivalry and jealousy of one another. In her first appearance, she and King Julien quickly fall in love and nearly get married, but King Julien dumps her at the altar, afraid of committing to a relationship. Throughout the series, she seeks revenge on King Julien, even forming an alliance with Uncle King Julien, though she still harbors romantic feelings for the king.
Tammy
Tammy (voiced by Debra Wilson) is a Southern-accented overweight common brown lemur who is the mother of Todd and the wife of Butterfish. While she loves her son, she tends to pressure Todd and has him trained to obey any command she gives him. She is arrogant and domineering and in every competition tries to push Todd into the foreground, even cheating if it is necessary. Unlike most lemurs, she does not respect King Julien at all.
Butterfish
Butterfish (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) is an overweight lemur who is the husband of Tammy and the father of Todd. He speaks in a deep lazy tone and is somewhat apathetic, not showing much interest in his family. His catchphrase is "I gotta go to work", usually paired with him walking out of the scene. A recurring gag in Season 5 is Butterfish mistaking his son for a girl, despite being constantly reminded that Todd is a boy.
Todd
Todd (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) is a young common brown lemur who is the son of Tammy and Butterfish. He is a child prodigy according to his mother, but being forced to perform in every competition seems to have taken a toll on him. Todd is often nervous, stares blankly into space, and has a tic, and when he snaps he can be a terrifying force which can even frighten the mountain lemur soldiers. He and Mort are often rivals because of their similar size, and because his mother often tries to make Todd replace Mort.
Maggie the Unwashed
Maggie the Unwashed (voiced by Andy Richter) is a psychic chameleon and a poor substitue for Masikura. Her predictions are shams and she constantly suffers from extreme flatulence.
Pineapple
Pineapple (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) is a mystical pineapple who resides in Frank-ri-la, the lemur afterlife. First appearing as a normal pineapple in "Pineapple of My Eye", Masikura claimed it contained the knowledge of the previous kings (which she made up so King Julien would let her go on vacation) which would give him guidance while she was gone. After being smashed by a jealous Mort at the end of the episode, Pineapple's talking spirit often appears throughout the series to give King Julien and others advice. Though very wise, he has a gambling problem and often mentions that he owes money to other fruit spirits. His voice is reminiscent of Morgan Freeman.
Rob McTodd / Nurse Phantom
Rob "The Party Animal" McTodd, also known as Nurse Phantom, (voiced by David Koechner) is a Coquerel's sifaka who is King Julien's old friend obsessed with partying and plastic surgery. Maurice never liked Rob as he was a bad influence on Julien. Uncle King Julien eventually had him exiled. Rob returns to the kingdom years later to reunite with King Julien, but secretly plans to have their faces surgically swapped by his surgeon Dr. S as revenge for not joining him in exile. His plan is foiled by Maurice, Clover, and Mort, the latter of whom mauls Rob, undoing his surgeries and disfiguring his face.
He reappears a few episodes later to sabotage the nightclub King Julien opens, his now deformed face and mannerisms a homage to the Phantom of the Opera. Rob's plans are thwarted once again. Empathizing with Rob, King Julien decides to convert the club into a hospital run by Dr. S with Rob as his assistant, who assumes the name Nurse Phantom. As Nurse Phantom, he becomes friendlier and helpful, though he gains a few odd habits such as often playing a pipe organ and occasionally putting himself into a medically induced coma.
Dr. S
Dr. S (voiced by Jeff Bennett) is a cobra (though Madagascar lacks cobras in reality) who works as a self-taught underworld doctor.

He was brought to the kingdom by Rob who wanted to use him in his revenge plot, but after reconciling with Julien, the king let them stay and run the new kingdom's new hospital. Dr S, while quite the mad scientist, has helped King Julien out in a lot of strange cases with his questionable "science" - even bringing the dead to life one time. He also likes to experiment on willing subjects, though without much maliciousness. His catchphrase is shouting "[in/out of] a CAAAVEEE!" which is always accompanied by lightning and thunder. His voice is an impression of Peter Lorre.

Pretending to be a kindly and humble lemur named Doc Sugarfoot, he eventually challenges Julien to an election to become king. Maurice and Clover discover his true identity and warn the kingdom.
