Main characters
In a three-story home, the middle flat belongs to Humf, a purple furry creature. Wallace, a green hairy creature, lives on the top floor, while Loon, a pink feathery creature, lives below. Humf is curious and eager to try new experiences, though he sometimes finds it hard to reach his goals. Loon enjoys trips to the park and supermarket, usually joined by her best friend Bewla, along with Humf, Wallace, and her mum. Loon’s dad is never shown or mentioned. Humf’s parents are blue (his mum) and red (his dad). His uncle is Uncle Hairy, whose girlfriend Flora is Humf’s auntie. Bewla is a blue fluffy creature with red hair and pointy ears; she is best friends with both Loon and Humf. Like Loon, Bewla’s dad is never seen or mentioned. Bewla’s mum is a red fluffy creature with a brown mane. Wallace’s mum is green and his dad is blue. Loon’s mum is pink purple.
Locations
Most episodes take place in the characters' flats. They often visit a nearby park, which has playground equipment, a sandbox, and open spaces, and is reached by crossing a street. A local supermarket is accessible via a footpath. In "Humf Goes Swimming", Humf and Loon's mothers take them to a swimming pool with a children's pool, a small slide, and changing facilities. In "Uncle Hairy's Cinema", Uncle Hairy and Flora take Humf, Loon, and Wallace to a cinema by bus, as it is too far to walk.
