He says his own name and the phrase "Mikka makka moo" when he is happy, as well as the names of the Og-Pog and the Uff-Uff and other phrases from his song such as "agga pang" (his soap and sponge) and "hum dum" (his trumpet) and possibly "Ing ang oo" (when he wants to blow his trumpet). His house is approached by a stone-walled ditch, as his home is half buried in the ground. He travels around the garden riding his trolley/scooter (information gathered by Soup and Naye), the Og-Pog, which carries: his sponge, soap, red/orange trumpet and a bellows-like apparatus device called "the Uff-Uff" which he uses to dry items after cleaning them. He sleeps in and on a brightly coloured sleeping stone bag bed, often cuddling a stone as a toy. Makka Pakka often stacks freshly cleaned stones into piles resembling his head and body. He lives in a rock cave and likes cleaning things, such as his collection of stacking stones and sometimes the other characters. He has three rounded protuberances on his head, ears and bum back to represent stones that he uses to make into piles. Makka Pakka (played by Justyn Towler) is a beige, small, round-bodied doll.She had a reprise song in "The Ninky Nonk Wants a Kiss". She, along with Igglepiggle, were first featured in the episode "Makka Pakka Washes Faces" and she first pulls the ripcord on her waist in "Makka Pakka's Trumpet Makes A Funny Noise". Her hair stands on end when excited, surprised or blows a kiss and her skirt inflates to a tutu when she dances or pulls the ripcord on her waist. Her catchphrases are "Upsy Daisy" and the more emphatic "Daisy Doo!" and she additionally says "Pip pip onk onk!", her way of saying goodbye. She often hugs and kisses other characters, particularly Igglepiggle. She likes skipping through the Garden and blowing kisses to the other characters or to the audience. Upsy Daisy (played by Rebecca Hyland) is similar to a rag doll, with a brown complexion, a chime in her tummy and brightly coloured clothes.He was first featured in the episode "Makka Pakka Washes Faces". Igglepiggle is clearly not a native of the Garden but a visitor. When the Pinky Ponk makes its passengers and their tables and chairs to slide from one end to the other, he falls out of his chair. He is the only character to walk on the Stepping Stone Path and in the Garden and the only character to ride in two carriages.
He is the only character not to sleep In the in the Night Garden series (with one exception and apart from one time when he fell and falled asleep on Upsy Daisy's bed), because sometimes he needs to find his boat he sleeps on his boat instead of in a bed. His best friends in the garden are Upsy Daisy, the Tombliboos and Makka Pakka. Igglepiggle does not speak, but he has a bell in his left foot, a squeaker in his tummy and a rattle in his left hand. He arrives to the Night Garden at the beginning of each episode and leaves the Night Garden at the end of each episode in a boat like bed for himself, for which the blanket doubles and serves as a sail. He always carries his red blanket and tends to fall flat on his back when surprised. Igglepiggle (played by Nick Kellington) is a blue teddy bear like doll creature, somewhat resembling a teddy bear like doll with a bean-shaped head and a sideways red mohawk with average sized legs.This is a list of characters appearing in In the Night Garden.
