The Weird n' Wild Detectives are an trio consisting of Rex, Mal, and Hunter, the series' mascots. The three frequently appear on Monster Mania cards and occasionally feature in stories about their adventures. While situated in North America, they travel all over the world.
Members[]
Rex the T-Rex[]
Rex, the protagonist, is the leader of the trio, and is highly intelligent. He normally has background knowledge on the mysteries that the three solve together, and was able to decipher the Riddle of the Sphinx on his own. He previously stuided at the Monsters of the Mind Academy.
Mal the Malaysian Horned Toad[]
Mal has the ability to disguise herself to look like anything, and so works as a sort of undercover agent, gathering further information after Hunter's preliminary checks. Her favorite book is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
Hunter the Boa Constrictor[]
Hunter can only speak in snake sign language by flicking his tongue or using his tail to draw and point. His incredible stealth and ability to squeeze into tight spaces makes him a perfect scout, and he often picks up details that the other two miss. He appreciates tattoos and other skin patterns.
Associates[]
Bill Hawk - A park ranger who sometimes has new cases for the team.
The Chief - a chief of an island in Southeast Asia who asks for their help when the Weretiger is on the loose.
