Zagzagel, also known as Angel Zaggy and Zag Wylde, is the main character of Wylde Hare. His first official appearance was in Season 2, and since then he has been one of the primary protagonists of the series.
Description[]
Angel Zag, or as Francis calls him, Angel Zaggy, is a blue/gray rabbit with brown wings, slightly lopped ears, and a burgundy robe. Similar to Gabby, Zagzagel inhabited Wylde Hare in order to help others through his television series, adopting the name Zag Wylde along the way. However, his mannerism is the polar opposite, as he often speaks in a curt demeanor that can come off as sarcastic and impatient. He is also more focused on getting his job done rather than actually getting to know the viewer, and regularly puts in the minimum effort in activities that he is not interested in or is not his responsibility. This makes him fit well into the noir world of Wylde Hare; in contrast, when he temporarily became the main character of Angel Hare after Gabby's disappearance, he mostly ignored Jonah and half-heartedly stuck with the script despite Jonah trying to interact with him, only breaking character when he realized Jonah was also the broadcaster and therefore was a person of suspicion.
In Wylde Hare, Zaggy's appearance is that of a typical noir detective. Not much else is known about him in his own show, with most of the information on him comes from Francine. According to her, Zaggy is constantly busy with his work to the point where all the secretarial work was given to her instead. His primary weapon is a Colt Police Positive .38 Special.
Despite the curt demeanor, he is shown to care for those he is close with, which is the reason why he went to search for Gabby after she disappeared, agreed to try and help Cammy despite being uncertain of his well-being, and supported Jonah during his quest in Hyrax in the Rocks.
Relationships[]
Jonah Whitman[]
Initially, his relationship with Jonah was of mistrust, and he initially suspected Jonah as an employee of Wreath of Life. As such, he refused to divulge any information to Jonah until Jonah prove his usefulness due to his familiarity with modern technology, and even then he made no attempts at getting to know Jonah personally, only calling referring to him as "pal" as he was focused on solving the case of Gabby's disappearance. As the series progressed, the two were able to warm up to each other, even if Zaggy's impatience sometimes gets in the way, and after the season's events Zaggy chose to remain by Jonah, the two of them finally considering each other as friends by the third season.
Angel Gabby[]
Zaggy had known Angel Gabby well before the start of the first season. They are shown to have a close relationship, with Zaggy affectionately calling her "Gabs" and regularly crossing over to her TV show; the full extent of their relationship remains unknown, as Zaggy dodged Jonah's question on it. However, this relationship is greatly important to Zaggy, as he immediately began searching for her when she went missing and was worried for her well-being when he discovered her stretched across multiple Angel Hare and Wylde Hare episodes.
Francine[]
Francine is Zaggy's Fran, and as such has a cordial, respected relationship with him. Despite this, as she is Zaggy's secretary and regularly deals with Zaggy's troubles and personality, she considers him a headache. Likewise, Francine seems to be one of the few people who can actually "persuade" Zaggy, shown when she "assures" him to "take the case" regarding Camael.
In the context of the show, Francine first met Zaggy after he was attacked and gravely injured by Don Areno's gang in an alleyway, where Francine's neighbor then discovered him and nursed him back to health; Francine then preceded to invite herself in after eavesdropping on them.
Francis[]
Francis remains a bit cagey around Zaggy due to his harsh personality, and at times gets pushed around by Zaggy, a complete opposite of Francis's relationship with Gabby. Despite this, they are shown to still have a good relationship, with Francis regularly hanging out with Zaggy in Wylde Hare, even going fishing with him in one instance.
Angel Cammy[]
Although the relationship is currently a mystery, Zaggy at least has a respectable relationship with Cammy. Despite being concerned for their well-being since, Zaggy is also wary about what Cammy may have become after years of non-stop work in a video game.
Trivia[]
