Gladys, a bear with a strong appetite, shares a love-hate relationship with Danny because she fears foxes. Martin and Zoe are twin rabbit siblings who always stay together and approach situations with caution. Old Oak is a Living Tree who instructs the children about the forest and the value of cooperation; he is Titan's father, originated from an oak struck by a shooting star, and from the sixth episode onward wears glasses.
