 * Freddie (voiced by Taran Killam): A raccoon and friend of the boy cubs who tends to be a troublemaker. He loves staring at females in bikinis in which he calls them "chickens," in which Bearbette, Frisky or Robin scold him for. He usually calls old people "fuddy-duddies," which Buttons scolds him for. But like Johnny, Buttons, Rusty and the rest of the critters in Chucklewood Park, he is on the lookout for any villain who could wreak havoc in the park and in the suburb, including Zak Vileman, who he calls "Jack Pileman," much to Zak's annoyance. What also makes Freddie not a bad raccoon is when Buttons dresses up as Sasquatch to prank him and gets captured by stupid researchers after he provokes him to do so, Freddie gets very remorseful and guilty. He wears either a red T-shirt or sweater with a raccoon skull on either of them. His swimwear is a pair of red swimming trunks.

Recurring Antagonists

 * Zak Vileman (voiced by Tom Kenny): The CEO of Vileman World Inc. and a robotics inventor with a vocal impression of Gilbert Gottfried, who is the critters' archenemy. He grew up alongside Jonesy and the boy cubs' folks. According to Jonesy, Zak's attitude is worse than Freddie's. He tries develop to hotels, vacation spots, new products and new inventions in Chucklewood Park and the suburb mainly to make money. His plans are always foiled by the critters. Zak usually calls Buttons "Bear Kid" and Rusty "Fox Boy." As a running gag, he calls the critters "Chucklewood Fritters," with the critters usually correcting him. Buttons and Rusty's rivalry with Zak is surprisingly friendly and comedic, due to the boy cubs' pacifistic nature, even though they know he is an enemy and they don't trust him. He is always designing robots, usually to get what he wants. His most frequently seen invention is the Robot ZigZak. He has a skyscraper located in the suburb. This skyscraper is where the ZigZaks are produced. He usually rides on the shoulders of a ZigZak. He is scared of the dark (as seen in "Abner's Diet"). His favorite food is tomatoes. Most times, Zak attempts to commit acts of crime, including piracy, hacking, trespassing and hijacking. He also attempted to kill the boy cubs. He doesn't like it when other villains (except for Zany Zeke) tell his ZigZaks what to do. His henchman besides his ZigZaks is Zany Zeke the swindler.
 * Zany Zeke (voiced by Tom Kenny): A swindler and Zak Vileman's henchman, besides his Robot ZigZaks. He helps Zak find some way to con people out of their money. He usually gets annoyed when the ZigZaks take Zak literally. According to "Smokin' Tongues," he is surprisingly allergic to tobacco. He usually refers to Zak Vileman as his "chief." He is based off of Raffish Ralph from The Berenstain Bears.
 * Robot ZigZaks (voiced by Frank Welker, Jeff Bennett, Tom Kenny and Mr. Lawrence): Robot minions that work for and are created by Zak Vileman. Their infamous weakness is that they are very literal minded. This means that the ZigZaks do exactly what Zak tells them to do, but not always what he means (much to Zany Zeke's annoyance). For example, when Zak exclaimed "Somebody pinch me!" in "The Three MarkeTEERS," a ZigZak literally pinched him, and he returned with an "I didn't mean literally!"
 * Delilah Denara (voiced by Jill Talley): A fashion designer who is always setting trends. She travels is a fuchsia limo with a lounge chair, and is never without the best comforts life can afford. Her main purpose is her clothing line, Delilah Denara's Pet Fashion of Nature. She uses a body-controlling ray to freeze animals alive and sell them as living fashion accessories. Some viewers raise the point that the animals are still fully conscious when body-controlled. She refers to Buttons as "Buttonsangelo" and Rusty as "Rustico." She is also a bit of a flirt as seen in "The Election."
 * Dario (voiced by Mr. Lawrence): Delilah's henchman who often fails in the simplest tasks. He is portrayed as unintelligent to the point that he can't function alone. He does whatever Delilah tells him to do. He hardly ever speaks except to say "Yes, ma'am, Delilah.", and when he does, across as childlike. He tries to help Delilah design her fashions, but she is unsatisfied with his suggestions. Due to his perceived low intelligence, he is extremely patient and cheerful, even under Delilah's dictating ways and says "I love my job." He also has been given a torch tulip for free by Randal and became "Torch Dario" as shown in "Dreadhoot." Their relationship is loosely based on that of Yzma and Kronk in Disney's animated feature film, The Emperor's New Groove.
 * Chef Garrett Gourmad (voiced by Tom Kenny): A chef with a heavy southern accent. He is an expert at "sabotage cooking" and serves only either endangered species or stolen food, which had caused him to lose his chef's license and to be fired from his gourmet cooking job (as revealed in "Abner's Diet"). He lives in a camper that features a fold-out restaurant, accessed by pulling a wire nearby Chucklewood River. When it folds out, it reveals an outdoor restaurant on a deck complete with full kitchen, at least one table, and chairs. He prefers to cook his patron's meals in front of them, and charges a heavy price for it. He also has a pair of caterpillar tread roller skates (as seen in "Memory Loss"). He is also shown to steal medicine (as seen in the same episode). In "Abner's Diet," he hinted at selling living toys that go with a meal. He calls the boy cubs names based on their natural colors: Buttons has been called "Brown Pear," while Rusty suffers with "Orange Tangerine."
 * Syco the Snake (voiced by ): A snake who lives in the dump and encouraged Buttons and Rusty to smoke. He is also responsible for writing the bad word on Jonesy's trash can that Buttons, Rusty, Bearbette and Frisky read off of. He is the owner of the book of dirty tricks.
 * Randal the Wizard (voiced by Dana Snyder): A grouchy wizard who lives in a cabin of Chucklewood Park. He disguises as a woodsman to avoid attention. Randal is friends with the boy cubs at times making him an anti-hero and making him similar to the Amoeba Boys from The Powerpuff Girls. He's also the son of Mother Nature and Father Time.
 * Lord Murdock (voiced by Andy Serkis): A villain from the season finale of Season 1. He is a short (same height as Buttons and Rusty), green dragon-like sorcerer with small wings who wears a purple cloak. In his debut episode, he casts a spell on everyone in Chucklewood Park with an "Anger Crystal," corrupting them with "anger" to turn them against each other. Despite the fact that he is a villain, his level of intimidation is rather low due to the fact that he is revealed to be a wish granter for other villains.

They find him smoking outside an outdoor cafe in the suburb and they tell him what they know about smoking and Zak Vileman and Zany Zeke overhear this from outside the cafe and surprisingly agree with them.
