Gambit and Tarmac are minor characters in Housepets!. They are a pair of otters who live in the otter exhibit at the River Ridge Zoo. Both were introduced in The Zoo.
Physical Appearance[]
Being river otters, they both have brown fur, webbed hands and feet, short ears, and long, thick tails.
Both of them have lighter fur on their underbellies. Gambit has lighter fur on the face as well, while Tarmac only has a patch of it on the muzzle. Tarmac's fur is also darker than Gambit's, but the easiest way to tell them apart is that Tarmac wears a seashell as a necklace. Gambit has green eyes while Tarmac's are blue.
General Information[]
Because the two rarely appear in the comic, not much is known about them. They are friends with Peanut, seem to enjoy lounging in their enclosure, and were excited when a new female otter was brought in.
Trivia[]
- The title of the comic The Tarmac Gambit is a play on their names, as Sabrina and Fido are standing on the airport tarmac and Sabrina tries a gambit by offering to still be friends with Jata.
- Tarmac has appeared without Gambit in In Hot Water and Gambit appeared without Tarmac in Seeing Red.
