Almost Naked Animals is set inside a tropical resort called the Banana Cabana.[3] All of the cabana's staff members and residents are funny animals who have shaved off their fur and wear only underclothes. A anthropomorphic dog named Howie is the manager and leader of the cabana. Each episode follows Howie and his "misfit" crew having unusual adventures in the Banana Cabana.
Main
- Howie (voiced by Robert Tinkler) is a pale-yellow dog and manager of the Banana Cabana. He is hyperactive, very dimwitted, impulsive, and almost always cheerful and likes annoying everyone else. He is also completely oblivious to his sister's evil nature.
- Octo (voiced by Howard Jerome) is an overly cautious blue octopus and the desk clerk, as well as Howie's best friend.
- Bunny (voiced by Emilie-Claire Barlow) is a sometimes short-tempered yellow rabbit and activity planner with a sugary personality (subject to mood swings).
- Duck (voiced by David Berni) is a tan-colored duck who does every random job and tries anything to get it done. It was revealed in "The Sun Howie Always Wanted", and "Mini Howies" that his full name is Archibald William Nightindale Duck III. As a running gag Duck often appears during a problem with a non sequitur.
- Piggy "Willberforce" Pig (voiced by Seán Cullen) is a pale pink-colored pig who is a ninja-trained master chef with a Bulgarian accent. He speaks broken English.
- Narwhal (voiced by Seán Cullen) is a self centered, periwinkle-colored narwhal that loves to sing (he is the lounge performer).
- Sloth (voiced by Linda Kash) is a peach-colored sloth and the bellhop of the Banana Cabana. She has a crush on Howie. She also does everything slowly. She moves around using her luggage cart.
Villains
- Poodle (voiced by Alyson Court) is a pink-colored poodle. Howie's evil older sister who owns a rival hotel called the Chateau Chattoo. She always tries to ruin Howie's fun and tries to take over Howie's hotel.
- Batty (voiced by Julie Lemieux) is a purple-colored bat who is Poodle's evil minion. In "Oh Brother, Who Art Thou?", Batty reveals to Howie that he is his long-lost cousin.
Recurring
- Dirk Danger (voiced by Christian Potenza) is a flying squirrel who has a career (more or less) as a stuntman. He is Howie's role model.
- Radiation Rooster is the Radioactive Microwave Sales Rooster. His limbs fall off and he is very dumb.
- Captain Fizzy is a Pirate Turtle and the owner of the soft drink "Captain Fizzy's Fuzzy Orange Soda" and "Sugar" which is 99% sugar. He is a turtle. He started a few contests like the limited edition blue and green can contest and the Fuzzy Orange Happy Land contest. He has a floating factory which is a large boat.
- Hippo (voiced by Jamie Watson) is a bluish gray-colored hippopotamus in his superhero attire.
