Hugh Manatee

Hughbert¹⁾ “Hugh” T. Manatee is a crotchety old mustachioed manatee who, on his good days, can match wits with Poink. He has an obsession with Jimmy Buffet, Chalupas, and Carvel's Fudgey the Whale. Being old and endangered, he's under a lot of stress and has to look out for himself, but he can still dance and sing, which he thinks makes him “hip.” He is also vehemently opposed to “beebling.” Hugh's a hero for hauling himself out of the water all the way to the Pawpet Show.

Hugh is voiced by JackRabbit, who talks about the inception of his alter ego in an interview with TheSonicGod here.
