Olaf is very fat. Nate is very long and skinny, and is half Spanish on his father's side. Chip is a perfectly normal shaped potato and Ruby, who is the lead singer in most songs, is a small orange potato. Baby Potato (Ruby's sister) joins in halfway through the series, and is seen in "Moon Baby", "Potatoes At Heart", and "Christmas Baby".
