Farmer Smurf is the opposite of Poet; he is a Smurf of the earth. He’s never satisfied. When he needs a little rain to help his salads grow, the sun shines, and vice versa. His speech is rough but he’s the best at sorting out fertilizers and growing the tastiest vegetables and fruits in the world.

Lazy Smurf only thinks of sleeping. When he painfully wakes in the morning, he waits for the evening to go back to sleep. He loves his pillow. He isn’t idle, but any little job tires him. Lazy’s laziness doesn’t bother the other Smurfs except Brainy who’s always after him, admonishing him each time he dozes off.

Hefty Smurf can be distinguished by a heart-shaped tattoo on his arm. Hefty is the strongest Smurf in the village. He exercises, he is a sportsman and has even organised the Olympic Smurfs. One can always depend on him if there is any hard work to be done. He is kind of a lout but everyone loves him.

The Schlips are what the Smurfs turn into after the Smurfs carry the spaceship into the crater of an inactive volcano, where they drink a secret beverage of Papa Smurf. Their skin turns orange, long black hair grows on their heads and they wear furry loincloths. After this peculiar adventure they all turn back into Smurfs.

King Smurf appears while Papa Smurf is away on a trip. The Smurfs decided to appoint themselves a new leader. One of them is elected and immediately puts on a crown, an ermine coat, takes a scepter and calls himself: “King Smurf”. He acts like a dictator. The Smurfs rise up against him and take to the bush, it’s a civil war. Fortunately, Papa Smurf returns to the village and everything returns to normal.

The Smurf Apprentice is the Smurf who wanted to make magic just like Papa Smurf. He tried a magic recipe taken from one of Gargamel’s book of spells. He drinks the beverage and turns into a big nosed monster with green skin covered in scales and a long fat tail. As he can’t find an antidote, Apprentice sneaks into Gargamel’s place, where with the help of the other Smurfs, he returns to normal.

Flying Smurf has but one dream: to rise up in the air and fly like a bird. He tries all possible means to fulfill his dream. He sticks feathers to his back, builds fabric wings, tries a kite, a magic broomstick, springs on his feet, the wings of a windmill and even a rocket. After having tried soap bubbles and a hot air balloon, he drinks a special potion that makes him lighter than air. But bewildered that he cannot come down anymore he has to eat bricks to touch the ground again.

Clockwork Smurf was invented and built by Handy to help him out with domestic work. He is useful to everyone and makes delicious sarsaparilla soup for the whole village. From time to time he leaves the Smurfs but comes back regularly to say hello to his friends and takes this opportunity to have his mechanical insides overhauled.

Grandpa Smurf is the oldest of all Smurfs, and comes back to village after a five hundred-year leave. He has not taken Papa’s leading role but his energy and enthusiasm are impressive. Besides wearing a bright yellow cap and pants, Grandpa always wears pince-nez glasses. He’s an avid storyteller and loves to show off some of the souvenirs he has collected during his travels.

Then, there are the Smurflings. After they got caught in Father Time’s clock, these three Smurfs became the only ones who are not 100 years old. They are actually getting younger! Their names are Slouchy, Nat and Snappy.

Slouchy is not lazy. He just doesn’t care for anything. If he is asked to do anything, he will. But slowly. He plays mellow sax in the Smurfling band. Slouchy will never have a nervous breakdown.

Nat loves nature, and more than anything else he is crazy about animals. Of all his furry and feathered friends, he prefers the caterpillar that turns into a butterfly. Barefoot and wearing a straw hat, Nat is a genuine ecolosmurf.

Snappy lives up to his name by being a ball of energy. He goes absolutely berserk when he doesn’t get his way. He is so impatient and bad-tempered that only Papa Smurf can calm him down.

 Sassette Smurf is the second girl in Smurf Village. (Yes, there were two!). She was created by the Smurflings to keep Smurfette company. She has red pigtails and pink overalls. She is a bit of a tomboy and younger than Smurfette, but I’m sure kept Smurfette company. Girls have to stick together in a village filled with over a hundred other boys.

Puppy was a gift from Homnibus to Papa Smurf. But even a dog this small is big by Smurf standards, which can be a problem. As only Baby Smurf managed to open the locket around his neck, he became the dog’s master. Puppy often protects his friends from Gargamel and Azrael’s attacks.

Gargamel just couldn’t get enough of the Smurfs. He was always out to capture them for one reason or another. Maybe he needed them for a magic spell or food, or maybe he had nothing better to do that day. For whatever reason, every episode he attempted to capture them in different “ingenious” ways, but was (luckily) never successful. He’s not the smartest villain of the bunch because other bad guys could easily influence him with threats. Actually, he was too much of a coward to pick on anyone his own size.

Azrael is one of those rare cats who seems to think that mice are blue, or maybe that’s what Gargamel wants her to think. Whatever the reason, during every episode she was chasing those lovable Smurfs. She knew that Gargamel didn’t really know what he was doing, but begrudgingly went along with his plans. She certainly wasn’t fond of the Smurfs though.
