Bio

Zidgel is the one who most of the aliens look up to for help, not knowing that this particular alien penguin has no idea on what is going on. Still, he has made various contributions and laughs towards the crew.

According to his voice actor Ron Wells, he is somewhat a mix of Ted Baxter and Captain Kirk.

The only person who will show anger or come-backs towards Zidgel is Midgel.
