Boyster
The story
Boyster (Molusco) is a French animated television series that premiered on Disney XD on June 16, 2014. The titular Boyster character is half human and half mollusk, and his name is a portmanteau of "boy" and "oyster."
Plot
The series focuses on the adventures of a half-human, half-oyster mutant named "Boyster", who was born from a toxic spill and adopted by a pair of humans and raised with his shell brother Shelby. Naturally, Boyster has to keep his oyster side under wraps, but he will use his many oyster-esque abilities to save the day.
Main
Boyster Likowski (voiced by Akie Kotabe) is an 11-year-old human-oyster hybrid with the ability to spit pearls and stretch his limbs. He is shy and horrified that someone might discover his powers. In the series' theme song, it is shown that Boyster and his brother Shelby were originally normal animals before being mutated into their current forms by an oil spill; they were later found on the beach and then adopted by Lola and Eugene Likowski.
Shelby Likowski (voiced by Matthew Forbes) is Boyster's clam twin brother. Unlike Boyster, he has the body of a clam with a humanoid face rather than being fully humanoid. Shelby is highly intelligent, almost never leaves his home, and prefers to watch television all day long, which is where he gets all his knowledge from. He is obsessed with the "Prestige and Passion" series and admires the theories of Charles Darwin.
Rafik (voiced by Rasmus Hardiker) is Boyster's best friend. He is 11-year-old, and an overexcited kid. He is one of the only characters in the series to know Boyster's secret. He loves to act, make drama for any situation and often finds things funny even if they are not really funny. He gets jealous when Boyster spends time with someone else, and he is arrogant and boastful, always thinking he is the best even giving himself the nickname "Rafik the Magnificent".
Supporting
Eugene Likowski is a botanist who is the adoptive father of Boyster and Shelby. He is overprotective of Boyster and would not want anything to happen to him.
Lola Likowski (voiced by Jules de Jongh) is the adoptive mother of Boyster and Shelby. She is an ingenious person and she loves fixing cars and making objects.
Alicia (voiced by Lizzie Waterworth) is Boyster's love interest. She is very rich and her parents are stingy and obsessed with money and want her to marry a billionaire at all costs. Alicia dreams of becoming an artist and loves drawing portraits of her beloved cat, Vanilla. Alicia is a nice girl, with a strong sense of integrity, who cannot stand being rejected. She likes Boyster a lot but does not suspect that he has a crush on her and, worse, that he has powers. She is around 11–13 years old.
Ozzy (voiced by Rasmus Hardiker) is a bully at Boyster's school. A vain, idiotic and arrogant person, he loves hitting and putting people down, especially Boyster and Arthur. He seems to be in love with Alicia but obviously she does not love him due to his meanness. Ozzy has a lack of self-confidence and would like to be able to impress his two ruthless and muscular sisters by showing them that he can be as strong as them. He is described as being "ugly" by Rafik.
Arthur (voiced by Rasmus Hardiker) is a socially inept nerd with a passion for the extraterrestrial. He is able to create sophisticated invents, such as an alien detector, and is a fan of Sherlock Holmes. He has a pet spider named Ursula.
Mr. Marion "Teachinator" Pluss (voiced by Rob Rackstraw) is a teacher at Boyster's school. He is known as the strictest teacher at the school, and is usually seen angry or shouting. He has perceived robotic vision and the students call him the "Teachinator". In the episode of the same name, it is revealed that he only wished to please his late father, who was also a strict teacher.
