McGillicuddy

McGillicuddy is one of the two main eponymous characters in Bongo and McGillicuddy. He is the partner of Bongo and is a detective orangutan from the N.T.C.P.D.S.D.B.G.U (New Town City Police Department Super Duper Bad Guys Unit). Even though he only speaks in grunts and hoots, like a realistic orangutan would do, Bongo (and Hank) can understand what he’s saying and speaks on his behalf.

Appearance
McGillicuddy is an anthropomorphic orangutan that wears a police badge and usually stands on 2 legs. Although unable to speak English, he uses human-like facial and body expressions to communicate. His colours consist of orange and two shades of brown.

Personality
McGillicuddy is a partner in crime-fighting to Bongo, a human police officer who is also his best friend. Although they share a close bond, many references to the show mention they sometimes get into fights. McGillicuddy is shown to be the comedy relief, as when his partner Bongo repeats back his lines for the audience, it results in Hank, Tom or Ben laughing. Just like Bongo, McGillicuddy is very passion-driven to keep the city safe.
