File:Edward.jpg

Edward is a short-tempered, cranky and sadistic platypus with a grudge, who sleeps in Pinto Cabin with Chip and Skip. He is the main antagonist of the show. He enjoys watching the suffering of others and is constantly coming up with schemes to spoil any fun that Lazlo and his pals might have. He has a severe hatred for Lazlo and Camp Kidney, though that has lessened over time. Murray described Edward as having "a serious negative attitude and no social skills."[4] The official Cartoon Network press kit described Edward as "a stickler for rules" who hates "any scout who doesn't follow them."[9] Murray described Edward as one of his and his crew's favorite characters to write for.[4] Edward often plots to ruin the Jelly Trio and its "freethinking ways," and the plans often fail. Even though his attitude and temperament suggest a tough guy, he has a secret soft side: he carries a doll based on Barbie, but has a platypus head. Of the campers, Edward is the only one to have his brothers appear. Murray said that the situation involving the brothers provided insight into Edward's neurosis. Edward is voiced by Mr. Lawrence, who is known for voicing Sheldon J. Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants.
