Meet the cast

Hand-drawn original SVG characters for the learn games — full-length, head to toes, in the same chibi house style as Pip the penguin. Pick a pose up top, or click any character to cycle just their pose.

Notes

All original, dependency-free. Every character is a pure draw(pose) function in this file — to adopt one in a game, lift its function into /learn/_engine/kit.js next to penguin(). Recolor by changing its fill constants.

Poses are a shared system (eyes + mouth + arms + bounce + effects), so every new character gets all eight poses for free — including Knock (steps right up to the glass and raps it twice, each hit in sync with a real tap sound), Think (hand on cheek, thought bubble), and Side (a true right-facing profile — the walking view for games; tails finally get their moment). Many add their own flair: ears droop, wings and arms raise, tails curl, the shadow shrinks mid-jump.

Open-source alternative: the round-animal style this matches is Kenney’s Animal Pack (CC0, public domain) — a good drop-in if you ever want ready-made PNGs instead. “Ozo” is an original homage to the ZooZoo school of design: white body, dot eyes, little “o” of surprise.
