Plot
The titular character, Poron, comes from outerspace to Earth. There, he soon encounters the native life-forms, although as a new arrival, he is unaware that he has ignored humans and instead befriends several animals. The mischievous animal folks, however, keep causing trouble in various places, by their naughty antics and bad behaviors. Poron, though exasperated, secretly unleashes his mysterious power, to save and punish them.
Characters
- Poron (ポロン)
- Voiced by: Masako Nozawa
- An extraterrestrial boy with an antenna growing out of his bald head. He has ability to fly. By emitting light from the stars on the headband he is wearing, he floats objects and changes matters, and settle the problems. He watches over the animal kids, and whenever he sees a young one acting in an unruly manner or in trouble, rushes to the scene. He punishes them and teaches them what they shouldn't do. To accomplish these tasks, he is usually rather ruthless, so the means of his punishment are often quite severe. He loves bananas. There are some episodes where he doesn't intervene, but makes an appearance to utter a few words on the moral of the episode.
