Insektors Wiki

Welcome to the Insektors Wiki
Insektors is a French children's program initially created in 1994. It ran for two seasons of thirteen episodes each and was dubbed into English twice - once in North America, and once in the United Kingdom. The North American (NA) dub many of the French names and much of the original content. The United Kingdom (UK) dub changed the names of the characters and much of the terminology, and rewrote the script entirely. This Wiki will (hopefully, eventually) cover both dubs. The French/NA terminology will appear first, with the UK being provided in brackets. Where appropriate, UK terminology, characters and episodes will have their own articles.

NA names/terminology will generally appear first, with the UK versions in brackets beside them.

Story
The plot of Insektors follows two tribes of warring anthropomorphic insects: the music- and flower-loving Joyces (Verigreens), and the more technologically-inclined Yuks (Kruds). The main character of the series is Fulgor (Flynn), the hero of the Joyces and the adopted son of the Joyce leader, the Great Pyro (Godfrey). Fulgor's allies include Aelia (Alex), the biological daughter of the Great Pyro; Acylius (Maximillian), the Joyce-like son of the Yuk queen; an insectoid robotic horse called Gallopus (Peg); and firefly Spotty (Elmo). Ranged against him are Lord Krabo (Lord Draffsack), the Yuk Prime Minister; engineer Lord Teknocratus (Lord Synapse), who invents and builds the Yuk war machines; Lord Kretinus (Lord Fugg), Krabo's dimwitted subordinate; General Lukanus (General Wasabi), who leads the war efforts against the Joyces; and pilots Captain Krabouic (Captain Roderick Drumsturdy) and Lieutenant Kaboche (Corporal Stanley Greeb). Their leader is the menacing Queen Bakrakra (Queen Katheter the Third).

The main aim of the Yuks is to cut down the flowers grown by the Joyces, in order to fuel the Hotsy-Totsy (Hypotherm) - a system devised by Teknokratus to heat the Stump and pump away the swamp water that could potentially flood the city. Krabo is constantly devising plans (and Teknokratus devising machines to fulfil these plans), but they are thwarted by Fulgor and/or his allies. Other plotlines - including Fulgor's origins and Acylius's role in Yuk society - are occasionally touched on.
