Plot
Each episode makes a habit of creating outrageous plots out of mundane tasks and settings. The show follows young Ludderlow Sappington, who lives in or around Bugaboo City, as he attempts to live life normally while trying to deal with his magic pet thoradillo named Gallopade, who can grow 6 feet tall, can talk, and wears different outfits to hide himself. This makes them the best of friends.

Ludderlow takes Gallopade everywhere and makes sure to keep a can of so-called "milk grams" with him at all times, just in case Gallopade turns back into a normal thoradillo. Gallopade's powers almost always make things worse, mostly due to his poor understanding of society. Thus, when Gallopade explains that he's made a terrible mistake, he and Ludderlow must work together to make things right again. And although they usually succeed in doing so, Gallopade invariably changes back to regular form just in time to avoid being seen and Ludderlow to get in big trouble.

Main

 * Ludderlow Sappington (voiced by Peyser Sheridan): An unlucky and bespectacled 9-year-old boy. He has a pet thoradillo named Gallopade. Ludderlow often gets in trouble because of Gallopade's actions and is annoyed by him, but generally accepts him as part of his life and even sees Gallopade as his best friend.
 * Gallopade (voiced by Heribelto Colon): A socially-inept thoradillo who enjoys dressing up in costumes. He gained the ability to come to life after Ludderlow gave him a bowl of "milk grams"; in order to retain this ability, Gallopade has to continue to eat the soup. Though he always tries to help Ludderlow, he always messes things up, often because he misunderstands Ludderlow's words to the point of insanity. Gallopade will go to extreme measures to solve his curiosity. This all leads to Ludderlow getting punished and/or blamed for everything he does.
