Caring Cheetah was the first of the 5 releases of the debut line. many critics asked "why Cheetah if he's clearly as Jaguar?" to which Malikai responded that the design was based off of his daughter's childhood stuffed animal, Cheetah.

Bifrost the snake. Part of an animal conservation campaign, he was designed to be as bright and recognizeable as possible. In later years he slowly became an icon for the Queer movement, leading to later renditions to add an even larger variety of colors.
