The Setup
In the dark and very near future.....a genetic experiment gone wrong.....leads to the rise of a new breed of weapon. These weapons, once just household pets have now been morphed into a super race of wolf pup hybrid creatures. The oldest batch of these genetic experiments lies in Adventure Bay. They are beholden to their Master known as "Ryder," but not for long....

She shares a rivalry with Mayor Humdinger of the neighboring town Foggy Bottom. She is unwittingly party to the domination of Adventure Bay by her secret partner Ryder.
- Chickaletta is the mayor's pet chicken. She is not quick-witted or observant and often unintentionally causes trouble for herself and Mayor Goodway. She is also a lich of unfathomable power and should not be underestimated.

- Francois Turbot is Cap'n Turbot's cousin and sidekick, who lives with him in the Seal Island lighthouse. He is very self-centered and loves to show off, but also cares deeply about animals. Francois works as a zoologist, artist, and nature photographer. He has a thick French accent and often uses French phrases in place of English words. This is all a cover as he is a secret agent for the town of Foggy Bottom.
- Wally is Cap'n Turbot's pet walrus, who lives in the waters surrounding Seal Island. He has a wife named Walinda and an unnamed baby child. Although he cannot talk, Ryder and Cap'n Turbot can understand Wally when he communicates by barking and moving his flippers. Wally has a taste for both human and animal flesh.
- Mayor Humdinger is the mayor of a neighboring town called Foggy Bottom. He is Mayor Goodway's rival who spends most of his time devising unfair schemes to make his town seem better than Adventure Bay. He lives in a cave and leads a team of troublesome cats called the Kitten Catastrophe Crew. The mayor is actually a lich.
- The Kitten Catastrophe Crew is Mayor Humdinger's group of kittens who closely resemble the six original PAW Patrol pups. Each one is equipped with a uniform and a tool pack that mirror a particular pup's outfits and abilities.
