content

Five aliens from the planet Zigma B, Candy , Etno , Gorgious , Stereo and Bud go on a picnic in space. But they crash on earth and strand there. Since they do not want to be recognized by humans as aliens, they move into a non-rented house. From then on, they not only try to return to their home planet, but also to drive away all those who want to move into the house.

Characters

  • Etno Polino : Short and purple with red lips and a big nose, Etno is the leader of the group. As a genius in the group, he creates all kinds of machines. In the original French version, he speaks with an English accent.
  • Candy Caramella : The little green guy with a wrinkled forehead wears a dotted apron. He sometimes discovers his feminine side and disguises himself as a woman. In the Latin American version on Jetix , Candy's gender is female.
  • Bud Budiovitch : The lazy and naive Bud is large and orange, has three strands of hair, a long neck and large bloodshot eyes. He acts like a teenager, is a TV addict, and mostly drinks sodas. Like Etno, Bud is always the last to panic in a situation. He always comes up with the best solution, but most of the time nobody wants to listen to him.
  • Gorgious Klatoo : Fat and blue with a heavy chin and a protruding tooth, Gorgious is the grumpy and brutal. He is very greedy and he passes his time eating and annoying others.
  • Stereo Monovici : Each of the two heads at Stereo has its own consciousness. He is the bookworm of the group, but usually only has useless information ready. Sometimes the two heads argue with each other.
