to their jobs and main characteristic traits (similar to The Smurfs), but are also plays on words (typically "pea" sounding like "-py", such as "Bump-Pea" sounding like "bumpy", "Chip-Pea" sounding like "chippy" and "Creep-Pea" sounding like "creepy"). Black-Eyed Pea (male): A mischievous pea with a protruding tooth who wears a black eye patch over his right eye, is a darker shade of green than most of the others, and is usually seen with Creep-Pea; together the pair of them are often the villains of the series, and live in Creepy Castle, which overlooks Poddington and has its own patch of "Creepy Carrots" (who are named for having sinister eyes). Bump-Pea (male): A clumsy pea with a somewhat paranoid expression who is covered in bumps and has a big plaster on his left cheek. Captain Hop-Pea (male): A nautical captain (which explains his title) pea who has a moustache, a beard and a wooden left leg, wears a blue-and-white captain's hat, carries a non-astronomical telescope and sometimes appears to be in charge of the others. In later books his name is sometimes, inconstantly, rendered as Cap'n Hop-Pea. In later books he is often accompanied by a cabin boy-like sidekick named Rope-Pea, who is responsible for the cleanliness of his ship, and who wears a striped red and blue pirate's t-shirt. Chip-Pea (female): A "chippy" (or fish-and-chip shop, to give them their formal name) worker pea with ginger hair, who wears a white three-cornered hat, a blue bow tie and a white apron, and is often seen carrying a blue scoop-shaped French-fry holder. Chop-Pea (male): A lumberjack pea who wears a stereotypical brown lumberjack's hat with flaps on its sides and carries an axe. Creep-Pea (male): A creepy-looking mischievous pea with two tufts of hair made to look like the Devil's horns, a long pointed nose and pointed teeth, who is again a darker shade of green than most of the others, and usually seen with his fellow villain Black-Eyed Pea. Dough-Pea (male): A somewhat bewildered-looking simple-minded chef pea who wears a big white chef's hat and carries a rolling pin. Dump-Pea (male): A fat, greedy, dumpy pea who is bigger and heavier than all of the others, and always eating (usually jam tarts). Garden Pea (male): A pea who likes gardening, has thin black hair and a thin black moustache, wears a straw hat and holds a spade. Books show him
