[2] The Hillbilly Bears, played on a social stereotype of the "hillbilly", with a gun-toting, mumbling father Paw Rugg (voiced by Henry Corden) who was always "feudin'" (the "feudin'" was usually a lethargic operation, in which the protagonists fired the same bullet back and forth from the comfort of their rocking chairs) with their neighbors, the Hoppers.

His wife Maw (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl) was a homemaker who appeared as the more level-headed parent.

Shag (the youngest and smallest of the clan, voiced by Don Messick) was a troublemaker who looked up to his father.
