Essentials

Spookipaws Cat is terrifyingly lucky. Black fur, midnight tail, sharp little stare? She’s the good omen of all good omens! For Spookipaws, vending machines double-drop. Every flight she has a spare seat next to her. Her umbrella? Never lost. Her toast? Always lands butter-side up. At Halloween, her luck goes into overdrive. Full-size chocolate bars. Never a single raisin. Even Timmy Turtle agreed to wear a costume once. “A moment of madness,” he muttered. She just winked. Stick close. You might catch a little of the magic.

Bartholomew Bear Spider has no plans to stand against the wall all night – not when there are Halloween parties to attend, and certainly not in a costume this fabulous. With eight extra legs (plus two of his own), Bartholomew soon discovered a new world of dance possibilities. His current favorite? The “Spider-Strut”. In fact, he was so excited to show off his moves, he even forgot he was a bit afraid of the dark... for a while! Fancy dress, dancing, and sweet treats. Of course Bartholomew loves Halloween!

Brooke Otter is a mudlark by passion and profession (self-declared). While her pals perfect their backstroke, she’s scavenging the banks of the Thames, bright eyes gleaming at the prospect of finding new trinkets and treasures. Some say she’s an optimist. Brooke prefers “long-term investor” – those rusty bottle caps? Future fortune. (Just you wait!) Mudlarking is even better with friends. Brooke loves to share her finds with Nippit Beaver – although his enthusiasm for dented teaspoons is, at best, polite…

Amuseables Skull Planter is all about good vibes, green shoots, and taking things slow. Stick on a lo-fi playlist and he’ll chill in the corner all night. With a head full of cacti and zero time for drama, he brings zen to every haunted house. His motto? Don’t overthink it. Water lightly. And if you need advice, he’s the best in the game – he even helped Bartholomew Bear Spider decide on his Halloween costume. Need a bit of calm? He’s got you covered – top to pot.

Broox Bat has a problem... he doesn’t like the dark. He’s not scared of it, he’d just rather avoid it (at all costs!). That means no cinema trips, no nighttime flights, and absolutely no tours of haunted houses. Plus, he can only sleep with his nightlight right beside him (yes, it’s glued to the ceiling). If you’re looking for a bat to get brunch with, Broox will be there. Just don’t invite him to dinner!

Amuseables Espresso Cup may be small, but he’s got enough energy to fuel a thermal power plant. As Personal Assistant to office multi-tasker (and crisis sorter-outer), Amuseables Coffee-to-Go, he’s always on the move. He still gets the jitters sometimes, true, but he’s always smiling. In fact, he’s your go-to for pep talks – even if he does speak at a mile a minute… He’s tiny. He’s tenacious. And he’s already scheduled your next meeting (you’re welcome!).
