Promises. The Huggles - Small, furry creatures who have stories read to them by Baxter (usually about "Bomba the Barbarian"). They consist of Fluffy, Puffy (both performed by Pam Arciero), and Scruffy (performed by Kevin Clash). They also have a younger sister named Baby Huggle (performed by Pam Arciero) who appears later on and who spends most of her time sleeping. Baxter brought the Huggles to the asteroid after he found their eggs in space. As their intro song put it, Baxter "brought 'em home to hatch 'em, and now they're here to stay..." Introduced a few years into the series' run, the extreme cuteness of these characters was an attempt to appeal to a younger demographic. Their catchphrase was "Hey, what's snappenin'?" Rory (performed by Kevin Clash) - A wild-looking lion-like VJ. He appeared a few years into the show's run as the host of "Rockin' with Rory", a segment featuring music videos by the Space Coasters, typically performing covers of 1960s hits. He often runs late and shows up in his pajamas while making a claim about why he was late when the crew asks "Late again, Rory! What’s the story?" Rory replies "You guys won’t believe this, but..." and launches into one of his many wild excuses for being late. The crew never believes it. Rory then says "Believe this" as he introduces the Space Coasters' act. Baffle (performed by Jim Martin) - A furry, horned magical alien from the neighboring planet Blip (where everything is either backwards or upside down or just plain weird) who appeared a few years into the show's run. He casts spells by chanting the phrase "Miki Pooka Tiki". Baffle can see 12 minutes into the future. He loves to give free advice and when the residents of Coasterville have a problem, they pay Baffle a visit. Unfortunately, his advice is often so silly or cryptic that they usually have to solve the problem themselves. Big Jock Ox (performed by Kevin Clash) - An ox-like character who appeared a few years into the show's run. Big Jock Ox often appeared on "The Gary Gnu Show" as the sports expert.
