[edit] Characters

• Mowgli - The main character of the series. He was still a baby when he got lost in the forest of Sione. Alexander and Luri, both wolves, adopted him as a son and raised him as a wolf.

• Alexander - Mowgli's stepfather. Blue/black furred. He became the leader of the pack after beating Vermillion and marrying Luri. During a fire that grazed the forest, he died defending his pack from Shere Khan.

• Akela - He is the leader of the pack. Very old, but very knowledgable. He was forced out of his retirement after Alexander died.

• Vermillion - Alexander's great friend, who he fought to be the next leader of the pack. He acquired a scar on his left eye afterwards. Red in colour. It was later revealed that they had also fought to decide which one would get to marry Luri.

• Luri - She is Mowgli's stepmother. White in colour with brown ears. A very gentle mother, though strict enough for discipline.

• Sura - One of Mowgli's stepbrothers. Dark-furred like Alexander, and generally a kind but serious wolf. Later in the series, he courts Lala.

• Akru - One of Mowgli's stepbrothers. Brown-furred.

• Bagheera - A black panther who is one of Mowgli's friends. He also serves as one of Mowgli's teachers like Baloo, though he is more enthusiastic.

• Baloo - A bear that is one of Mowgli's friends. He is Mowgli's main teacher of the Laws of Nature and a lot more gentle than Bagheera.

• Kaa - A snake who is one of Mowgli's friends.

• Shere Khan - The main antagonist of the series. Cruel and cunning, he violates a lot of Laws, including eating humans, cows and overhunting. The injury on his leg was dealt by Alexander before he lost.

• Tabaqui - Shere Khan's sidekick. Unlike the other versions of Jungle Book, he's a bungling hyena who never seems to get anything right.

• Bacchus - the fat wolf who could never hunt properly. He is more fitted to babysit the wolf cubs.

• Vargas - An old wolf who was saved by Alexander from a pack of wild dogs. He stole food from the pack's storage.

• Lala - Vermillion's daughter. Brilliant red fur, she acts like a tomboy early in the series, and mainly hated Mowgli. Later in the series, she grows to her teens and was revealed to actually like Mowgli.

• Kichi - Mowgli's red panda friend. Her parents are killed by humans. Later in the series she lives together with Mowgli in his hut.

• Meshua - She is the girl that Mowgli takes to liking late in the series.

• Chill - A falcon who served as the messenger for Akela's pack.

• Hati - The great elephant who serves as the ruler of the whole forest of Sione.
