Gumbo is a minor character that only appeared as the main antagonist in "The Deadly Maze". He was Chowder's predecessor as Mung Daal's apprentice.
In "The Deadly Maze", he had lured Chowder into the trap of his Deadly Maze in order to get him out of the way so he could exact his revenge on Mung. His hatred for Mung stemmed from Mung having the gall to tell him his first dish, a Toiled Egg, was lacking a little Kooky Wacky Lamb Spice after having spent weeks on it. However, after Gumbo lured Chowder to his deadly maze, Gumbo’s plan failed when he himself got hurt by the maze and trapped by his guard-for-hire, Jeffrey, and Jeffery’s dancing and singing assistant that made Gumbo uncomfortable. Chowder was going to leave Gumbo at first, but he came back and convinced Jeffery to get both him and Gumbo out of the maze. Gumbo, surprised by Chowder’s compassion, was convinced by this to reform, so he no longer wants to exact his revenge on Muug.
Appearance
Gumbo is a Cat/Bear/Rabbit with light green skin, dark green hair, and fuchsia eyes. Like Porridge, he wears attire that resembles Chowder's but it's red and orange. He looks like a combination of Chowder and Mung, in which he is the same species and has the same body-type as Chowder, but he also has a large nose with glasses and a mustache like Mung.
When he was a child, he lacked a mustache and instead had large, curly hair that stuck out from beneath his hat.
