Characters

Note: Rat-A-Tat names are in parentheses.

Dogs

• Doggy Don (Don) is a dog, who is usually annoyed by the mice. His days are always ruined by the mice; therefore, he always plans to get revenge on them, and rarely succeeds. He is quite intelligent but he is too lazy to answer some simple questions. His home has a functional laboratory. He is voiced by Saurav Chakraborty in the mimicry of Shah Rukh Khan.
• Karnal (Colonel) is the over-protective, occasionally aggressive and arrogant elder brother of Don; an army general, he is always there to protect himself and Don from the mice's mischievous ways. He is a muscular light green dog who wears an olive green army hat. He is quite arrogant yet strong and protective towards others. He is shown to possess many different kinds of tools and weaponry. He is voiced by Saurav Chakraborty in the mimicry of Sunny Deol.
• Ballu (Rox) is a grumpy, muscular-looking great dane living next door to Don and Colonel. A running gag in the most episodes is that Don and Colonel (or the mice, rarely) accidentally break in his house and broke his precious things or his entire house, for which he usually gives them a handful of beating. He and Colonel are of the same age which is shown in some episodes. He is voiced by Saurav Chakraborty in the mimicry of Amrish Puri.
• Major Saab Jr. (Thaw) is a white creamish bulldog. His father (Major Saab Sr.) died in a helicopter blast, and doggy brothers adopted him. He is smaller in size and age in comparison to both of the dog brothers. His appetite is huge and sometimes is compared to Motu of their gang. He is voiced by Saurav Chakraborty in the mimicry of Saif Ali Khan.

Rats

• Chhotu (Charly) is the self-proclaimed leader of the Chuha Party and is the most annoying, oldest and genius from all of them. He wears glasses. He is usually considered as a doofus as he almost always loses with his team by the end of the most episodes. He has competition with Doggy Don. He is voiced by Saurav Chakraborty in the mimicry of Paresh Rawal.
• Lambu (Larry) is a purple mouse, the thinnest of all mice and usually is known by his catchphrase, "Don't angry me" (instead of don't make ke angry). He tends to joke around more than the other mice and is at least responsible. He has competition with Colonel. He is voiced bySaurav Chakraborty in the mimicry of Akshay Kumar.
• Motu (Marly) is a grayish-blue fat mouse who is always hungry and tries to eat any other thing, which is not edible and gets his teeth broken. He is also the clueless and sometimes a bit determined of all the Chuha Party. He is the youngest member of the Chuha party. He has competition with Major Saab. He is voiced by Saurav Chakraborty in the mimicry of Sunil Shetty.

Humans

• Doctor Sahab (Doctor) is the family pediatrecian of the dog brothers, as well as Ballu. He is shown to be attending in an army camp, police station as well as in the school of dog brothers, as seen in a flashback episode.
