Main Characters in The Angry Beavers
- Norbert Foster "Norb" Beaver (voiced by Nick Bakay) is a yellow beaver. He is Daggett's older brother by just four minutes. Norbert is smart and likes to read. He often acts as the calm and sensible one compared to his brother's wild ideas. But sometimes, he can be quite lazy and bossy towards Daggett. He might even be selfish and take advantage of his brother. However, this usually doesn't cause any lasting problems for Norbert. The show's creator, Mitch Schauer, said that after the series, Norbert married Treeflower and had two daughters named Lily and Petunia.
- Daggett Doofus "Dag" Beaver (voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz) is a brown beaver. He is Norbert's younger brother by four minutes. Daggett is full of energy and acts very childish. He often has big, strong emotions and tends to call people names when he's upset. This might be because he is often treated badly. He has a mixed relationship with Norbert, sometimes helping him and sometimes annoying him. Daggett has a special telephone that looks like Bullwinkle J. Moose from Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Other Friends and Family
Friends of the Beavers
- Stump is a giant sequoia tree stump. He is a close friend of Norbert and Daggett. Stump often joins the beavers at their events and is an important part of their friend group. He seems to be alive, but he never moves or talks out loud. When Daggett first met Stump, he was jealous. But Stump helped Norbert and Daggett become closer friends.
- Bing (voiced by Victor Wilson) is a talkative lizard who hangs out with Norbert and Daggett. Bing talks very fast. He can change his skin color to blend in, like a chameleon. He can also lose and grow back his tail, like a skink or a gecko. Bing has a girlfriend named Wanda.
- Barry Bear (voiced by John Garry) is Norbert and Daggett's best friend. He is a grizzly bear who loves disco and funk music. His voice and personality are like the singer Barry White. Even though he's a bear, Barry is a vegetarian.
- Wolffe D. Wolf (voiced by Wally Wingert) is a relaxed gray wolf. He is a good friend to Norbert and Daggett. He is very different from the typical "big bad wolf" stereotype.
- Big Rabbit (voiced by Scott Weil) is one of Norbert and Daggett's toughest friends. The beavers later meet his family.
Family Members
- Treeflower (voiced by Cynthia Mann) is Norbert's girlfriend. She is a hippie beaver who has many different jobs. Treeflower and Norbert have romantic feelings for each other. She was also a superhero sidekick called Goody Good Gal. Her jobs include elevator songwriter, championship snowboarder, superhero, and firefighter. The show's creator said that she and Norbert got married and had two daughters after the series ended.

Future of The Angry Beavers
The creator of the show, Mitch Schauer, has talked about bringing The Angry Beavers back. He said he would like to have the original voice actors involved. He even mentioned a possible title: "ReSpooted." In this new idea, Norbert would be married to Treeflower and have two daughters, Lily and Petunia. Daggett would still be single but would visit them often.
Mitch Schauer has pitched the idea to Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon Animation's Tumblr page once said about a possible return: "Nothing's being whispered down the halls right now...but you never know!"
