Meet The Characters of Rikki Tikki Tavi
Rikki Tikki
Teddy Harrington
Teddy Harrington
The protagonist of the story, Rikki-tikki-tavi is a young, inquisitive mongoose who saves his adoptive English family—and the animals in their garden—from the dastardly cobras Nag and Nagaina. He’s described as fearless, self-confident, and, above all, “eaten up from nose to tail with curiosity.”

Teddy Harrington
Teddy, the young English boy who first finds Rikki-tikki nearly drowned in a roadside ditch, is pivotal to the story, but less as a character in and of himself than as the focus of the mongoose’s protective nature. He’s an innocent, not unlike Darzee’s baby, and as such is in danger from the cobras.
Nag
Teddy Harrington
Darzee
Nag is a cobra, who along with his mate Nagaina, serves as the primary antagonist of the story. He’s depicted as capricious, self-serving, and cruel—readily devouring helpless animals in the garden such as Darzee’s baby and creating fear and panic among the entire community. Along with his wife, he plots to strike against the humans in the house as a way of removing Rikki-tikki and ruling over the garden absolutely.
Darzee
Darzee's Wife
Darzee
Darzee and his wife are a pair of tailorbirds who live in the garden. Like many of the animal occupants, they are terrified of the snakes and lack the ability to stop their depredations. Their lost baby, and the grief it causes them, are the most direct sign of the evil the cobras perpetrate in the garden, as well as how helpless most of the other animals are to prevent it.
Nagaina
Darzee's Wife
Darzee's Wife
Nagaina, Nag’s mate, readily joins her husband in terrorizing the garden. She conspires with Nag not only to ambush Rikki-Tikki—striking at him while Nag distracts him—but also to murder Teddy and his family in order to get rid of the mongoose and regain control of the garden.

Major & Alice Harrington
Chuchundra is a very timid muskrat who lives in Teddy’s family’s house. Rikki-tikki encounters him during one of his nightly patrols, and quickly realizes the muskrat is typical of many of the animal residents of the garden in that he’s terrified of the cobras Nag and Nagaina.
Major & Alice Harrington

Major & Alice Harrington
