Zak and Wheezie are two conjoined twin dragons who both love music, though their complete opposite personalities can often cause an argument between the two of them. Zak is voiced by Jason Michas, and Wheezie is voiced by Kathleen Barr.
Physical Appearance[]
In nearly every episode of Dragon Tales, Zak & Wheezie are mainly both heads connected to a large dragon-body, and the two have long necks. Zak is the green-brother with blue spikes and controls the right-half, while Wheezie is the purple-sister with pink spikes and controls the left-half. Like every other dragon, Zak and Wheezie have small wings, and two tails with dark teal spines (but only one is seen at a time), as well as elongated snouts (though Wheezie appears have her lower-jaw extended slightly farther than Zak's). Their badges are shaped like musical notes.
Wheezie appears to have small green speckles on some parts of her half (shoulder, upper leg, and tail), while Zak seems to have teal spots. As far as coloration goes, their stomach is colored pastel blue. Unlike the other dragons, their claws are pastel yellow instead of a clear-white (simply because Wheezie refuses to use claw cleaner). Zak and Wheezie aren't the first two-headed character created by the Children's Television Workshop. A two-headed monster appears on Sesame Street.
Personalities[]
Despite being a two-headed dragon, both Zak & Wheezie are completely distinct in thoughts and are actually opposites of each other:
Zak is neat, quiet, orderly, stubborn, arrogant, lazy, and pessimistic, as well as cautious.
Wheezie is silly, loud, friendly, free-spirited, energetic, and optimistic.
They both love music, and are skilled musicians, and make up a "one-dragon band" which can even play notes on their scales. At times, their opposite personalities can lead to disagreement, but harmony gives back when they learn to respect and listen to each other. They will try anything to get away from each other in moments of anger and despair. In one episode, they found a magical chant that tried to separate them and it was a success, or the "alone cone", which isolates one head from the other (but in the end they were glad to be reunited). In the episode, Giant of Nod, Wheezie mentions that she is older than Zak, even though the two are twins though in Wheezie's Last Laugh, Zak explains he is the older brother. Their music note badges light up when they can find a way to meet a difficult challenge, such as getting along with each other. As with most siblings, they bicker most of the time and do not agree a lot. But if the two heads cooperate, they will finally make a great team.
