Who is Barnacles?

Captain Barnacles is a main character from the children’s animated television series “Octonauts.” He is the brave and level-headed polar bear leader of the Octonauts, a group of undersea explorers dedicated to protecting and rescuing sea creatures in distress.

As captain of the Octopod, Barnacles is known for his leadership skills, quick decision-making, and deep sense of responsibility for his crew and the ocean. He often pilots the GUP-A, the main rescue vehicle, and shows courage and kindness in every mission.

Barnacles is an excellent strategist and strong swimmer, thanks to his polar bear heritage. He’s also adept at solving problems under pressure, and his motto is to “explore, rescue, protect,” which drives the team’s adventures across the ocean.

Barnacles has been voiced by two actors across various versions of the series:

  • Ross Breen (in the original UK version): Breen’s voice gives Barnacles a calm, composed tone fitting for the Octonauts’ leader.
  • Simon Greenall (in the US version): Greenall brings a similar authoritative but caring presence to the character.
