Characters
This is a list of the characters named in the text of the preserved games of Webkinz. Each is described only as far as the game's own words go; the files hold no biographies, and most games say nothing of what their hero looks like. Characters of the music videos are not listed, because the videos' files do not name them.

Several games have a hero with no name in the text: the monkey of Bananza, the frog of Lily Padz, the ant of Ant Mania: Picnic 2 and the farmer of Pumpkin Patch Protector.[16][17][18] A character called Pinky is also named in a stage direction inside the music video I Gotta Lotta Soft Spots for You!; the files do not say whether it is the same Pinky.[19]
