Other puppet characters include three mice, and a large dark hairy monster (played by a person in a suit) called "Groslais" ("Big Ugly") who, despite his scary appearance, is kind and noble.
Other human characters include an astronaut called Eric played by Eric Galliano and a "Pierre Gédéon" played by François Arambu.

Availability
Only two short clips have resurfaced online.
On nostalgia website Casimirland, an user has claimed to have about 50 episodes on VHS, back in 2009. However, they didn't share them, being more interested into trading them for other rare shows.
