Zig is the one of the two main protagonists Zig and Sharko series.

He is a hungry hyena with ambitions to hunt Marina.

Bio

Due to his hunger and the limited supply of food on the island, Zig is desperate to eat Marina and is often willing to take advantage of her naive nature. Cunning and manipulative, he never fails to come up with a new idea to try and catch her (or get rid of Sharko), but nonetheless, his plans always backfire. As revealed in the episode "Desert Island Drought", Zig was born to a clan of extremely successful hunters who have found and killed many sea creatures throughout their lives. Zig's constant failures contrast sharply with the constant successes of his family.

However, in Season 2, his backstory is reimagined-- as opposed to having a family, he was orphaned, until he was adopted by the female monkey, who became his new mother. Around this time, he intended to eat anything, and also got to see Bernie, who, here, is also his adoptive brother. At first, he was unable to get along with Bernie, but after the latter picked up on his antics, he decided to help him whenever necessary. Around this time, he and Bernie met Sharko, and they enjoyed playing Pirates with them, until they met Marina, who introduced them to new hobbies (at this time, Zig's appetite built up, and so, he tried to eat her whenever possible). When they were teens, they encountered the gorilla artist, who fell in love with their mother. They were both against seeing her leave, but after realising how miserable she was after they got rid of him, Zig and Bernie called him back, and they successfully married not long after.

Personality

Zig is mischievous, cunning, clever, and devious who would go to many lengths by plotting to capture Marina and eat her. His best friend, Bernie also helps him out with plotting to capture Marina. However, as seen in some episodes, Zig is shown to be an anti-hero because he willingly teams up with either Sharko or Marina to help them fight other enemies.

Relationship

  • Bernie: is Zig's companion, is his only true friend. Zig is willing to put aside his ways when Bernie is in trouble or missing. Whenever his confidence is low, Zig relies on Bernie to cheer him up. But sometimes Zig doesn't appreciate Bernie's plans and argues with him.
  • Marina: for Zig, it is his chosen prey to eat. In order to be close to her, sometimes he even resorts to disguises in order to pretend to be an experienced master in the matter.
  • Sharko: often he becomes a problem for Zig to get Marina. Oddly, Zig occasionally cooperates with Sharko to protect Marina from danger (when that danger is not himself). Although they can even spend leisure time together, as in the episode "Sharko and Zig on the Rocks".

Weaknesses

He gets beaten a lot by Sharko when Zig tries to eat Marina.

Official Description

Zig n’a qu’une seule idée en tête : croquer la belle sirène Marina ! Grillée, panée, bouillie, à l’huile ou en sushi, qu’importe la recette, pourvu qu’il la mange ! Pour parvenir à ses fins, il se fait aider par Bernie le bernard-l’ermite, un mollusque pas si bête ! Très agile, il imagine mille stratagèmes qui se retournent tous contre lui ! Mais Sharko a beau le jeter au fin fond d’un volcan ou l’aplatir comme une limande, Zig revient toujours à la charge !

Translation: Zig has only one thing in mind: to eat the beautiful mermaid Marina! Grilled, breaded, boiled, in oil or in sushi, whatever the recipe, provided he eats her! In order to achieve his ends, he has been helped by Bernie the hermit crab, a mollusk who is not stupid. Very agile, he imagines a thousand stratagems that all turn against him! But in spite of Sharko throwing him to the bottom of a volcano or flattening him like a flounder, Zig always comes back to the charge!

Appearance

Zig does not have a very strong resemblance to any real-life hyena species, although the claimed prototype is the Brown hyena. He has no visible neck, small ears with sharp points, and red eyes placed closely to each other. He has light brown fur, a darker brown mane on his back, and a short, paintbrush-like tail. Similarly to Sharko, his snout is prolonged. He has large, square teeth that are occasionally drawn as more fitting carnivorous teeth. He is scrawny and of short stature with thin limbs.

Abilities and Powers

From Season 2 and Season 3, he has muscles like Sharko, and Season 1 turns him weak to strong. Zig is a very talented and orpair cook. Also a pretty good handyman, not on the same level as Bernie. And Lastly, he can strategize with his smart brain. But quite clever.

Trivia

  • In "An Evil Panda" the one episode that was Zig and Sharko was friends instead of enemies that had all episodes in battle except from "Teen Rebels" only in the past that was the battle.
  • He's is the only main character to appear every single episode in season 1-3, Bernie was absence in some episodes throughout Season 2 and Season 3 and Marina and Sharko both absents in Teen Rebels since they weren't seen as adults.
