Meet the WelliePaws Pals
Every great adventure needs a great crew. Say hello to the four woodland friends who live at the heart of WelliePaws – each with their own personality, secret talents and favourite kind of puddle.

Mud the Otter
Chief Splash Officer · Idea Machine · Professional Chatterbox
You’ll never have a quiet minute when Mud is around! Mud is like a big burst of sunshine and fizzy soda all rolled into one – happy, bouncy and always ready for the next big adventure.
Mud is the friend you want on a gloomy day: the one who can turn “I’m bored” into “Best. Day. Ever.” in about three seconds. They love coming up with huge, exciting plans – building the biggest dam, inventing a brand-new game, or racing leaves down the river.
Sometimes Mud gets so excited about starting things that they forget to finish the boring last bit (like tidying up tools or putting pebbles back where they belong). Their fur might be a little messy and their paws a bit muddy, but that’s only because their brain is already zooming on to the next fun idea.
And of course, true to their name, Mud is happiest when completely, gloriously muddy and wet. If there’s a slippery bank to slide down, Mud is already at the top, belly-flopping into the water with the biggest splash in the forest!
- Loves: Puddle-sliding, loud giggles, giant projects
- Superpower: Making everything feel fun and exciting
- Best for: Kids who can’t wait to get outside
Nut the Squirrel
Jumping Bean · Master Climber · Snack Strategist
If Mud is fizzy soda, Nut is a tiny, unstoppable jumping bean! Nut is full of energy, super bold and always ready to make a new friend.
Nut is the puzzle-solver of the group. They love cracking codes, solving problems and figuring out the biggest mystery of all: where did I bury all my snacks? Luckily, Nut has a super-memory and can remember where every single nut is hidden, even when the whole forest is covered in snow.
Their fluffy, bushy tail isn’t just for looking cute – it’s Nut’s secret weapon. It keeps them perfectly balanced when they dash along skinny branches and works like a parachute when they leap from tree to tree. Whee!
You’ll usually spot Nut’s two front teeth busy nibbling their favourite treats. When they find a really good stash, they don’t waste a second: they stuff their chubby cheeks like tiny shopping bags, ready for snacking later on.
- Loves: Climbing, collecting, crunchy snacks
- Superpower: Remembering every single hiding spot
- Best for: Kids who never stop moving
Dart the Fox
Quiet Genius · Speed Runner · Super-Observer
Dart is the clever fox who likes to watch everything first. Their mind works like a lightning-fast computer – always noticing, always thinking, always planning the smartest way to do things.
Just like their name, Dart is quick: a flash of red fur weaving through the trees. When life throws a twisty, bouncy curveball, Dart doesn’t panic – they adapt, change direction and keep moving forward with a determined grin.
At first Dart can seem shy and a little cautious, but once you’re their friend, they’re fiercely loyal. They’re the one who quietly makes sure everyone is safe, has a plan and gets home before dark.
Dart is also the tidiest member of the crew – always washing paws, smoothing whiskers and keeping their den spotless. Most of all, Dart is known for being incredibly observant. A new scent, a tiny rustle, a shadow flicker in the grass – nothing escapes this quick, bright fox.
- Loves: Quiet thinking time, clever tricks, night-time walks
- Superpower: Spotting things nobody else notices
- Best for: Kids who are thoughtful, curious and a bit shy at first
Spirit the Deer
Forest Guide · Gentle Heart · Quiet Strength
Spirit moves like a feather floating on the air – graceful, calm and so light-hoofed that they hardly make a sound. They’re a little shy and very sensitive, which means they notice everything.
With big ears that twitch at the faintest rustle and a nose that knows every smell in the forest, Spirit is always aware of what’s happening around them. They’re the gentle guide of the group, choosing the safest path, spotting hidden clearings and quietly steering everyone away from trouble.
Spirit might seem soft and quiet, but inside they have a fierce, steady strength. They’re incredibly resilient and know how to protect themselves, their family and their friends. Spirit proves that being gentle doesn’t mean you’re not brave – it just means your courage runs deep and calm.
Mud, Nut and Dart rely on Spirit’s wise, watchful presence on every adventure. When Spirit says, “This way,” everyone follows.
- Loves: Early-morning mist, quiet forests, soft mossy paths
- Superpower: Sensing danger and finding the safest way through
- Best for: Kids who are gentle, sensitive and secretly very brave
