Personality[]
Loggle is an all-around, nice and friendly carpenter. He is a dedicated individual who shows a passion for what he does. He does have a strong sense of discipline and, like most workers, prefers to have validation. He was seriously upset at his business getting destroyed and refused to have Anne and the Plantars leave until he was satisfactorily compensated.

Loggle is a light blue axolotl with dark blue gills (the horns on his head). He has small white tufts of hair on the side just above his gills and a big white mustache. He has a light green tongue, and his eyes are small and look closed. When they do open, they are white and have tiny blue pupils.
He wears a pair of goggles that wrap around his head. The left lense is clear while the right lense is green with three small settings on it. He wears a beige shirt, brown work apron and grey boots. To top it off, he wears a red neck scarf that is supposed to cover a small healed hole over his neck from a metal smith accident.
Starting with "Commander Anne", Loggle has undergone a significant change and now sports a large masculine body that makes him taller than most of the Wartwood citizens. He still retains his clothing, but now lacks his beige shirt and red scarf.

In "Anne or Beast?", Loggle is seen amongst the crowd hearing One-Eyed Wally describe his encounter with a monster and cheers when Mayor Toadstool proposes that they catch the creature. After discovering the monster to be a human girl named Anne Boonchuy, Loggle is amongst the mob leaving after the Plantar family volunteer to take care of Anne.
In "Cane Crazy", after Anne accidentally breaks a cane belonging to Hop Pop, Anne, Sprig, and Polly go to him to see if he can fix it. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how repair the cane nor can he give them a new cane identical to the old one, due to the can being made from wood from a rare tree called the "Doom Tree."
After Anne, Sprig, and Polly go to the Doom Tree, it is revealed to be a living creature which chases them all the way to his shop. Loggle watches as the Doom Tree and the Plantar kids damage his workshop. When they throw termites at it, the insects strip the Doom Tree of its wooden exoskeleton, and it leaves.
Even though they got rid of the Doom Tree, Loggle tells them they have to pay him for the damages to his workshop. Sprig decides to give Leopold Anne's click pen, which Loggle finds fascinating, and he accepts it as payment.
In "Family Shrub", Loggle meets Hop Pop at the Grub & Go market in the glue section of the store. When Hop Pop explains he's shopping for glue to work on a family shrub, Loggle gives him a glue called "Wart Slug Glue," saying it is the strongest glue there is, but this makes Hop Pop conflicted in which type of glue to buy. Later, when Hop Pop decides to buy all kinds of glue, Loggle accidentally scares, causing the glue Hop Pop was carrying to splatter all over him. Loggle watches Hop Pop struggle to get the glue off of him and grows horrified when Hop Pop gets completely covered in glue. When Hop Pop returns home, he decides to venture down to some secret rooms Anne, Sprig, and Polly had discovered in his home. Hop Pop asks Loggle, who is revealed to be glued to Hop Pop's back, if he is up for another adventure. Loggles cries "Absolutely...not" as Hop Pop runs down to explore the secret rooms in his house.
In "Toad Tax", Loggle is robbed by Bog, Fens, and Mire as he was one of the individuals on the Mayor's list who did not pay their taxes to Toad Tower. After Bog steals his statue, Anne returns one of Loggle's wood cravings to him, making Loggle happy as he cries tears of joy.
Later, at the Plantar Farm, Loggle witnesses Anne standing up to the toads and calling them out bullying the frogs. Amazed by Anne's bravery and selflessness, Loggle is amongst the crowd of citizens would come to defend Anne after she is severely injured by the toads. After discovering Mayor Toadstool is exposed for hoarding the town's taxes, everyone gets their stolen belongings back and Loggle cheers for Anne, naming her the official protector of Wartwood while coming to respect her.
In "Children of the Spore", after Anne, Sprig, and Polly broke Hop Pop's ship model replica of a warship called The Green Lady, Loggle was visited by Hop Pop who asked for stuff to repair it. When Loggle asked him if it was a replica, Hop Pop told him it was and Loggle gave him the tools needed to repair the ship. Leopold was later among those under Apothecary Gary's control but was later freed when Bessie ate Apothecary Gary's mushroom.
In "Anne of the Year", Loggle helps build a statue for Anne's Frog of the Year party. After Mayor Toadstool makes a rude remark about her, Anne orders Loggle to redo the statue he had been working on so it could look better. Later, when a fire occurs during the party, Loggle comments on the party looks "lit" now. After Anne puts out the fire, Loggle continues attending her party where he waits to be served some food from Stumpy.
In "Handy Anne" Anne stop by at his shop for some supplies to protect the Plantar Farm while she and the Planatars go on a trip to Newtopia to see if someone can help Anne and her friends find a way to get home. He lets her take a potion that allows crops to defend themselves, but also left a warning on it. Anne took it, but used it and ignore the warning.
Trivia[]
- Loggle is Matt Braly's favorite of the citizens of Wartwood.[1]
- While Loggle is an Axolotl that walks around on land, real Axolotls prefer to stay in the water at all times as they dry up quickly.
- Loggle used to be a metalsmith, but quit when he fell and impaled his voice box on a pipe. Because of this, he has a bizarre speaking issue where he would speak using a positive before becoming a negative ("I doooooo-n't).
- Axolotls have the ability to regenerate lost limbs, thus it is possible that while he was able to regenerate his voice box, it came out wrong.
- In "Reunion", it is shown that everyone is annoyed with Loggle's voice issues.
- When the episode "True Colors" was leaked online, a personal message from Loggle was released asking fans to wait for the official release of the episode and suggested taking up woodworking to pass the time, though not before having another vocal issue.[2]
