Volk[]
Volk, as the main antagonist of the series, has a really strong hatred for Zayats as well as every single other rabbit existing, his plan is to get rid of the rabbit species as well as the human race.
Mano, Lucille and Leonidas[]
Mano, Lucille and Leonidas are Zayats's friends and adventure companions, they usually spend time together when not trying to foil Volk's plans.
Horo[]
At the time Horo was introduced in 2004, Zayats and Horo shared a mass rivalry, which Volk created him specifically for, but briefly after Horo decided to take on the defeat of Volk, the friendship between him and Zayats slowly began to grow, albeit Zayats rarely sees him in person.
Arnab[]
Arnab is Zayats's brother, who he is very trustful of.
Zayats makes efforts into helping his brother, but he sometimes finds it difficult for him to know what he needs help with as Arnab only speaks arabic.
Mirana[]
Zayats is madly in love with Mirana, and will do anything for her, even if it means risking his own life.
Usually, when Mirana needs help with something, Zayats holds no second thought into accomplishing her favor.
Trivia[]
- Prior to 1969, Zayats had a more adult personality. This was changed when Zayats was redesigned in 1969 due to controversy as Zayats's personality concerned many parents, specially because the series was watched more by children than by adults.

- When very angry, he turns into a furious, insane, and psychotic version of himself nicknamed Abraxas.
