Main
- Abby Hatcher – A bespectacled 7-year-old girl of American and Chinese descent who possesses detective skills. She is equipped with a wrist device called the Fuzzly Spotter which notifies her of a trouble involving a Fuzzly, plus it can operate various things in the hotel. She also has spring shoes to make her jump high, an inflatable coat that help her take to the air, and a trike to travel around. Her gadgets are accessible in passageways that appear just about anywhere, even in the suburbs or wilderness. Her symbol is a heart.
- Bozzly – An aquamarine rabbit-like Fuzzly who can turn invisible, and fly. He also has super sensitive hearing, and has a front pocket containing various objects. He is Abby's best friend and partner. His symbol is a star.
Fuzzlies
- Princess Flug – A pink gastropod-like Fuzzly who is made of glitter goo which can either be sticky or slippery. She can blow bubbles that could carry away anything that gets inside them, or neutralize sticky glitter gloo. Her tiara shoots a gooey string which she can use to grab or climb things as well as sticky projectiles. She often adds "me" at the beginning and end of her sentences and talks in broken English. She adopts a pet slug named Sparkles. Her symbol is a crown.
- Teeny Terry – A small round marigold cat-like Fuzzly with winged arms that allow him to fly. He can inflate like a balloon which enables him to fly higher and carry more load. But when he has to deflate back to his normal size, he needs someone to tickle him. When he does deflate, he does gymnastics when no one is around to catch him. He is interested in mechanical stuff, but struggled at first, until he becomes Lex's partner. He sometimes dons a hard hat conjuring various tools that can be used for building and repairing. His mechanical skills become more advanced as the episodes progress. Though not typically bespectacled, he, along with Otis and Curly, need glasses to read. His symbol is an acorn.
- Otis – A red thimbleberry-like Fuzzly with three extendable tentacles on his head which can be used for swinging or reaching things several feet away. His four legs are also extendable. He is obsessed with buttons, and would press them all day. This obsession led him to become the hotel's elevator operator. Abby gave him an accordion to play with in order to keep him from going crazy with the elevator buttons. He often speaks without altering or omitting his t's. His symbol is a circle.
- Curly – A pink and orange rabbit-like Fuzzly with a spiral tail that can work like a spring, thus allowing her to leap high. She likes being hugged which Abby uses to calm her if she is upset or her antics are causing trouble. She becomes an assistant to the hotel's cook, Chef Jeff. Her symbol is a spiral.
- Mo and Bo – Twin cat-like Fuzzlies with stretchy torsos that allow them to reach things several feet high, and to slingshot stuff. They also have retractable heads and limbs, the ability to grow an extra pair legs in the middle, and heads that light up. They talk in rhyme. Mo is a white female while Bo is a black male. They also have an interest in shoes: Mo prefers boots and loafers while Bo prefers high heeled pumps. Their symbol is stripes.
- Harriet Bouffant – A doll-like Fuzzly with extendable pink and yellow hair which can be used as extra limbs. When her extended hair gets long enough, it can detach, leaving only a normal size portion on her head. Because she specializes in hairstyling, Harriet becomes Mrs. Melvin's partner in the salon. Her symbol is a bow.
- The Squeaky Peepers – An octet of small, high-pitched, helium-voiced singing rainbow-colored Fuzzlies. Their names are in this order: Big Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, and Little Do. When they get spooked, they turn yellow and start to bounce all over the place. They would also bounce around if they turn green as a result of their allergic reaction to glitter. To calm them down, most of the time, Abby uses a disc-shaped pitch pipe. When they are sad, they turn blue and sing blues music. They can run very quick, especially after they sing. Their singing sometimes involves a toy pipe organ where they move in and out of the pipes. Their symbol is a musical note.
- Flugtilda – An orange gastropod-like Fuzzly with green eyes who wears glasses and a baseball cap who is the cousin of Princess Flug. She neither possesses powers nor does she have a symbol that would represent her. She loves to sing and dance in conga. When Abby and the other Fuzzlies join in her fun, Princess Flug felt left out. When Princess Flug got stuck in a tree Flugtilda helps Abby and the Fuzzlies to get her out.
- Grumbles – A large purple meerkat Fuzzly who has the power to transform into anything. Abby met him in the wilderness, and thought he was some folklore creature. Abby found out Grumbles is a Fuzzly as a result of being identified by one of her equipment. Although he only morphs if he wants to, he could morph uncontrollably if he hiccups from eating a lot of food. He would also get thin as a pole when a wet. His symbol is a leaf.
- Mumbles – A small dark blue meerkat Fuzzly who is Grumbles' younger cousin. There are rules on how to raise him, and doing any rule wrong would cause him to multiply.
Humans

Chef Jeff is also the subject of a running gag where Abby, in her tricycle, passes by the kitchen where he is working on a dish, therefore resulting a comical accident, but he would nonetheless enjoy or find something positive about it. Besides a chef, he is also a tuba player. He has a mother who is a chef too.
