Additional characters
In Abril's phase, the young Trapalhões shared the pages sporadically with other characters created for the series:


 * Bonga: Didi's dog, which wore a cap and was always getting into trouble.
 * Cássia: Dedé's girlfriend.
 * Camilinha: Zacaria's 3-year-old cousin, who drives him mad and cries out loud for no good reason.

 * Maguilis: Mussum's fighting rooster, which wore boxing gloves and always left people with black eyes.
 * Montanha: 90 kg bully, who doesn't know how to solve any problem unless by threats or violence. Deep down, he's a coward. Os Trapalhões mislead him once, Didi being dressed as an angel, saying Montanha would go to hell if he didn't change his tune towards the group. This scared Montanha enough to make him temporarily become a friend of the group's, in his own way, threatening anyone who disagreed with the group. On another occasion, Mussum, having bought an expensive pair of sneakers, was afraid of being mugged and hired Montanha as his "feetguard." Although Montanha threatened Zacaria not to go near the sneakers, the "bully" ran away when a couple of adult thieves showed up.
