The most illustrated of the Terrapin characters, Inky commutes between
the woodlands of the Pacific Northwest and various suburban locales
& city sites. Inky gets his
name from a nervous reaction that occurs when he experiences moments
awkwardness. His feet begin
to perspire and leave behind black ink prints. |
An inquisitive and adventuresome bog bug, this dragonfly's curiosity often
leads to behavior that may be perceived as "mischievous."
He lives in-and-round the cattails of Terrapin bog.
Bright green and much smaller in size than dragonflies, Zero the
damselfly, is a reserved airborne bug that also dwells among the cattails
and other reeds of Terrapin bog. |
Followed the Oregon Trail out west from the Great Lakes area and
scratched a new den in a Pacific Northwest forest.
Upon arrival he discovered and developed an insatiable fondness
for morel mushrooms, a wild fungus native to the Cascade woodlands.

He wants to grow-up to be a pilot or better yet , learn to fly
himself.
In the meanwhile, he's content to tote around his pet bumblebee,
Spyral.

Spokes-turtle for the 1999 Terrapin logo, Horton's big break came in the
spring as that famous bunny
took ill and he bravely stepped in as
the "Temporary Easter Bunny."
Though all eggs were eventually delivered, some were a little
harder on the nose than
others.

Canada Goose

New to
the Terrapin family, Onyx became the spokes-turtle for

A
frequent visitor to backyards everywhere, Quincy begins his day at
twilight with the onset of the stars and rising
moon. He prefers dill
rye bread as a snack, though
slugs and worms are tasty,
too. In the cooler months he
can often be found warming his "toukis" on the mulch pile just
beyond the cedars
