Voice cast

Main

• Michael J. Woodard as Arlo Beauregard, an optimistic 15-year-old human-alligator hybrid boy with a passion for singing.
• Mary Lambert as Bertie, Arlo's large best friend.
• Jonathan Van Ness as Furlecia, a furball who owns a hair salon.
• Haley Tju as Alia, a hyperactive teenage tiger girl who drives her own bus.
• Brett Gelman as Marcellus, a sullen reverse merman.
• Tony Hale as Teeny Tiny Tony, a rodent-like creature who owns the local pizzeria.

Villains

• Santigold as the Bog Lady, a villainous swamp goddess who vowed revenge on Arlo for leaving the swamp. She has hypnotizing eyes to hypnotize Arlo for staying with her in the swamp, but Bertie's and Alia's voices manages to snap him out of her trance. She is destroyed when Edmee uses her bombs to make the shack explode, and she melts into nothingness after she tried to devour Arlo and the others as they escaped from her.

• Cathy Vu as Thao, a mailwoman for Seaside by the Seashore.

• Jennifer Coolidge as Stucky, Arlo's other former adversary, and Ruff's partner.
• Melissa Villaseñor as Lily the Lobster Woman, a kleptomaniac half-human, half-lobster hybrid lady, and one of the newest members of SBS. Lily started off as a burden to the locals until Arlo found a use for her larceny skills, as Seaside's new lost and found department.
