The hero of our story, albeit in a reluctant capacity.  Captain Carrot, runs an underground headquarters and helpline for troubled vegetables.

Things started well but recently he is being overwhelmed by the amount of lonely legumes who feel left on the plate.

Although bright and gifted with superhero eyesight, the Captain suffers from low self esteem and relies on his other undercover crops to help him win through.

Captain Carrot's granny, is a sweet old lady with a husky voice. 

Widowed 15 years ago when her husband, the colonol, popped his clogs in a cinema multiplex she spends her time giving wise advise that is usually ignored, telling corny jokes, and looking after the kids (the Peas).

The catalyst of Captain Carrots first adventure.

Spud has a heart of gold and is honest and true to his roots.

Scared out of his skin by the evil Baron Von Burger who has designs on turning Spud into french fries by plunging him head first into a vat of boiling oil, Spud turns to our intrepid superveg heroes for help.

Thankfully Spud is gifted with eyes in the back of his head, and when under pressure scrubs up well.

The captain's girlfriend is very appealing.

She has an infectious laugh which hides her secret ability to reduce any enemy to tears, which she does in a slice.

Her raw energy makes Red Onion a fun girl who rarely gets in a pickle. She models herself on 'The lady of Shallot'.
