The CharactersIf you spend any time at SR Plus, soon enough you'll begin to hear names like "Sir Gallivant" and "Cheeze" and "Aixe" and "Tim Shaw" and you might like to know who they are. To help you become familiar with these characters, here is a cast pic, followed by the character bios that can also be found at the
Camelalot website. Enjoy! :D
AixeI was born in the late sixteenth century at a little town called Transylvania. Despite horrible rumours that my housemaid was a vampire I lived a peaceful and happy life up until the second week after my birth, when I was kidnapped by flying monkeys in wizard outfits. These monkeys were very impolite, and eager to leave their hideous congregation of underground caves and tunnels, I moved to Perth where I became Prime Minister of Pumpkins at the ripe age of three weeks old. But my position did not last long, and the rivalry between me and a certain smelly koala began as one day I went outside and found, in alarming absurdity, all the pumpkins eaten, my only clue one smelly tuft of Koala fur.
After this devastating blow to my position I was re-instated as Prime Minister for Pears, but politics no longer interested me so I moved to England and became a highly succesful jazz singer by the name of Neil Haverfish. The press soon found out my true identity and my leagues of fans left me in a devastating puddle of Yuk. Fearing the end of my career I visited the great Almighty Poo-Bah! for some answers. The Bahish-poo told me that my destiny lay in the land of Camelalot, and that someday the Golden Underdaks of Icociles would be mine. Elated, I travelled to this mysterious land, but on the way was tripped over in the island of Guam, where I learnt my translating skills. Though optimistic about the world of Camelalot I found, disappointedly that they did not accept Platypuses because of their strange ideas about poisoned monotreme pellets.
So, with a heavy heart I settled into a far reaching stream, that was part of the Lake Soshongosh, and lived with other platypi, including the old grumpy one, only to be singled out by a heathenous pokémon and bashed on the head incessantly until I was rescued by Sir Gallivant, Sir Sam, Sir Cinbin and Master Katie in the first play which won the Pointlessness award for the year 1428. I thought I could make amends with this fashionable pokemon, actually beginning to see her as less heathenous, until I found tufts of smelly hair belonging to a smelly koala - Boggles.
Who knows what adventures shall befall this marvellous monotreme in the future? I think (me being clairvoyant and all) I know it has something to do with a kooky broom and a mad mop, some Gallivanting fashion Parades and a long line of mutant pineapples.
AuroraAurora is also known as the 'Van Driver' and occasionally referred to as 'Aurian' by the forgetful Sir Gallivant. Her first appearance came at a most opportune time during the third play, where she and her stolen Scooby Van saved the lives of the Camelalot Loons as they fled from a goat.
BathmatLady Clare, also known as Bathmat, is the good-natured, tea-drinking captain of the HMS
Teapot. She rescued the adventurers early in the piece and had them brought back to life. They repaid her by forcing her to take part in every one of their adventures. She is always on hand for a good cup of tea.

BogglesAs a young koala, Boggles Hibblenorf Globben O'Lyptus was pushed into the much feared Bog of Eternal Stench by an unidentified creature who may or may not have been a monotreme. Since achieving fame as the unoffical SR marsupial mascot and becoming the role model for all wild animals cursed with an over-powering body odour, Boggles has launched his own range of perfumes and is currently funding a laboratory in Koln conducting research into new industrial soaps and deodorants.
BuneaterAs a baby, Master Katie was left on the doorstep of Percy Bullant's Famous Bun Bakery. When found there, the Bullant ordered her to leave, kindly providing the infant with a stale, ten-month old bun. It kept her alive through her many trials which have involved cumquats, sheep, goats on hills, lampshades and mud-brick trousers. After saving the life of Sir Gallivant's beloved blade of grass, the bun-eater was offered the position of Master of Arms which she has incompetently filled ever since. Quillons and cumquats are her weapons of choice. The Master be a fervent believer in the power of the Almighty Cheese on Toast and is amazed that she and her companions have ever lived through any of their adventures. She currently be flying the magic blanket around the lands of Camelalot in an attempt to find her onion.
CheezeCheeze be the name of the inane, prophesizing dragon who has accompanied the Camelalot Loons on many of their adventures, despite their requests that he stay home and stop following them around. He was formerly the pet of Lady Tanaz.
ClarkeClarke the cheesegrater first made his appearance in Sir Gallivant's memory during the third play. He is rude and inconsiderate and made of sturdy, rust-proof metal.
CupidCupid first appeared in the fourth play, where she delivered a single and rather irrelevant line. She came back in force for
Ali Baha, as an acquaintance of Nomes. Very little is known about this enigmatic character
Dr. HoeculesDr. Hoecules is the voice of reason, the fumbling, incompetent medic, the Dr. Zoidberg of Camelalot but without the thongs. Hoe is always there to break up an argument, or apply pepper to a mosquito bite.
EowynI, Eowyn La Vasina Shalott, was born in the Kingdom of Raindear to a Shepherd and Shepherdess who would prefer not to be named. My childhood memories include getting a zombigglzider stuck up my nose, riding a pack of llamas and being decidedly unhappy. On my 102,022 birthday, which is roughly my 8th birthday on Sir G's calculator, a passing smelly Koala interrupted my thought on a mangleated and dementicated acorn. Of course I realised this talent was unique, but unfortunately my family thought I had gone quite bonkers so I was exiled to go to the Back of Bourke. BUT my journey did not stop there, after a while in exile I thought I would look quite fashionable with a cape but to get one a sorceress I must be. So after going 'piff puff puey, look out Luey' a couple of thousand times I was awarded this honour. In my thankyou speech I thanked, "The guy behind the camera - couldn't have done it without you mate, the MMI, KTB, MST, ENG, ESF, VRW, MCH, SVA, SLE, ADS, ESP and all ! my animal followers." I talked with animals quite regularly (from my clifftop glasshouse) but it was not until I started becoming the animal patriot that people actually noticed me at all. (For egs. I believe that make up testing on animals does NOT make them any more beautiful! etc.) I was quite happy but then I was plucked out of Nowhere (by Narrator) to star as the Animalian Sorceress alongside some completely Stupendous people. So now I live in Camelalot, in a room of almost complete glass, off the Great Book Storage. I am thoroughly happy and enjoy smiling, imagining flying plastic chairs, talking about hang-gliding, playing with my magic and being utterly stupid. I wonder where I put that glass orb of mine...
Grant WilderbeastGrant Wilderbeast first made his appearance in the fifth play,
Ali Baha Men and the Forty Golden Cinbin Thieves. His exact origins are a mystery. It is believed that the Buneater has known him for a long time, as she chose the Wilderbeast to be her travelling companion in the Land of Door Knobs.
LuluchuBorn from the unlikely union between a rare purple Snorlax and a Pikachu, Luluchu grew up in the woods around the maze of muddles, surviving on a diet of top deck and peanut butter sandwiches until she was caught by a pokémon trainer who was also an incredibly fashionable fellow who trained her in the art of accessorising and co-ordinating pastels. Once fully grown, Luluchu set out into the world on her own and was forced to teach herself the skill of newspaper rolling to protect herself from fiendish and unfashionable thieves who wanted to steal her highly fashionable and now world-famous pointy hat. Stumbling upon the SR adventurers in the Tavern of the Drunken Monotreme, she joined in their antics hoping one day to find the legendary Golden Underdaks and claim them for her own.
