Mango

quick, leaping golden lion tamarin

The Lost & Found Forest

Energetic, quick, and bursting with curiosity — leaps first and looks later, just like Dash. Bold, playful, a little impulsive (which is exactly how he got separated from his family). Big-hearted and eager to keep up; learns that the careful, steady way is what makes a leap land safely. Warms up fast once he feels safe — bouncy comic energy with a sweet, hopeful core.

Look

Small golden lion tamarin (squirrel-sized); silky flame-orange fur all over; a full lion-like mane of longer bright-orange fur framing the face; small dark face softened cartoon-style with big round friendly dark eyes and a tiny smile; gently rounded cheeks; long slender arms and legs with little grippy fingers and toes; long expressive orange tail with a slight curl at the tip; a tiny woven cross-body pouch (a forager's satchel) as his signature accent. Quick and bouncy; built to leap.
