Premise

[edit]

Darly, a flying pig; and Loomis, a unicorn horned donkey are best friends who are attending a fantastical day camp on Magicamp Island that is filled with various other animals who are hybrids of mythical beings.

Characters

[edit]

Main

[edit]
  • Loomis (voiced by Benjamin Mackey)[1] is a "donkeycorn"; a unicorn horned donkey hybrid who performs magic via rhyming. However, he is hesitant to use his magic, which usually does not work right. He is Darly's best friend.[2]
  • Darly (voiced by Cassie Glow)[1] is a "pig-asus"; a pig-Pegasus hybrid with the ability to fly. She sometimes has a rivalry with Dracoon that results in them butting heads a lot. She is Loomis' best friend.[2]
  • Dracoon (voiced by Mason Blomberg)[1] is a green raccoon with dragon-like features such as red wings, scales, and fangs. Like Darly, he can fly, but can also breathe fire which is green. He has an arrogant streak, seeing himself as the best of the campers, but will usually admit when he's done wrong, and has a fear of the dark.
  • Bodhi (voiced by Carlos Solórzano) is a "skunktaur"; a skunk with the horns and lower half of a bull. He has superhuman strength, and can shoot out colorful clouds from his backside which can rocket him from one location to another.
  • Fifi (voiced by Araceli Prasarttongosoth) is a white puppy with flaming hair. Her magic ability is teleportation, which triggers whenever she's experiencing strong emotions or is stressed.

Recurring

[edit]
  • Treena (voiced by Uzo Aduba) is a nature spirit and the camp's leader who resembles an anthropomorphic tree with a deer-like face.[2] She presents and mentors the Magicampers on their many adventures. She is also able to generate a magical Book of Legends.
  • Chiffen (voiced by Bryan Chao) is a little chicken with a griffin's body and wings. He is able to shout out powerful sound waves.
  • Harper (voiced by Celestina Harris) is a cat with a mermaid's tail. She plays a harp that can create a variety of spells. Although she can swim gracefully, Harper uses a wheeled clamshell to move on land.
  • Chauncey (voiced by Truman Eoff) is a large jackalope/centaur-like creature called a Bunnytaur and one of the many mentors. He plays a flute which is mostly used to levitate things.
  • Merritt (voiced by Kelly Baskin) is part Lamiai-part cat and another mentor who is Harper's older sister. Her duty is making and stating the rules of the camp.
  • Critters (voiced by Daniel Ross and Shelby Young) are various assorted mythical beings on Magicamp Island.
