Chester is one of the main characters of Bunnicula.
History
Mina found Chester when he was a kitten. He was small and alone. He really needed Mina. He was terrified of his own shadow. She took him to the beach once, and he was so confused by all this sand, he thought it was a big litter box.[3]
Appearance
He is a Siamese cat of adult age, has the brown color in the face, ears and feet, whereas the cream color predominates in the remaining parts. He has yellow eyes, a black nose and eyebrows of the same color. He also wears red collar.
Personality
Chester is very nervous, cowardly, and experiences great fear when a supernatural event can happen. He doesn't like the supernatural or magic, preferring logic and science. He may also be a bit selfish, though he has always been shown to be kind. At the moment of knowing Bunnicula, he was jealous, which caused him to become rude and grouchy to his new brother. Chester is arguably the smartest of the three pets. In his spare time, Chester engages in more intellectual pursuits. He likes to read science books, do puzzles (particularly crosswords and sudoku), and listen to Mr. Monroe's old jazz records. He often comes up with a shrewd plan of attack when dealing with supernatural forces.
Relationships
Family
Bunnicula
Chester is jealous Bunnicula because he stole Mina's love from him. Chester doesn't trust Bunnicula because of him always jeopardizing him with monsters. Bunnicula often plays annoying pranks on Chester. Usually, Chester plots to get rid of Bunnicula, so he won't have to deal with monsters anymore. But soon enough, he grew to care for him, mainly due to his conscience and how devastated that Mina would be if she lost him. They will instantly drop any conflict between them when it comes to Mina.
When a monster attacks, Chester will run to Bunnicula for help.
Harold
Chester sometimes gets annoyed with Harold because he's dumb and always goes along with Bunnicula's mischief, but he does in fact, care for him and always tries to help him when he's in a jam. Chester will even sometimes call him "Buddy"
Mina Monroe
Before Bunnicula came along, Chester and Mina were very close. When Bunnicula came along, Chester became jealous and grouchy, even though Mina still does deeply care for him. Chester sometimes dreams of one day being able to converse with Mina.
It was shown in Legend of the Lucky Locket, that in the near future that Chester and Mina will be able to communicate and fight as comrades. Chester was excited at the sight of this, looking forward to that day.
Friends
Rusty Bones
Chester is a big fan of Rusty and his music.
When Chester first saw the ghost of Rusty, he was both horrified and excited to met the legendary singer. It was Chester who showed him that Mina was immune to being depressed.
Scott Dingleman
Chester found him to be annoying but was worried when he saw Bunnicula's powers. After Harold interrupted Bunnicula's hypnosis, while erasing Scott's memory, Chester was worried and saw Scott could understand him. Chester used this chance to better Scott, though Scott became more intelligent, Chester saw how sad Mina was about Scott and had Bunnicula restore him for Mina's sake. Chester was speechless that Scott still understands them.
Patches the Weredude
Patches is one of his good friends.
They meet in Curse of the Weredude. At first, Chester was shocked that a human can understand him and was confused by his appearance. Patches used his powers to turn Chester into a human, so Chester can live out his desire. Chester enjoyed his time, until he realized that he couldn't be with Mina. Fortunately the curse was lifted.
Ever since, the pair have become acquaintances and Chester has been annoyed by him.

Trivia
- In Mumkey Business, Chester doesn't like being called "Chesty".
- In the books, Chester was an eccentric Orange tabby whose wild suspicions of occult phenomena constantly exasperated and annoyed Harold. He also was convinced that Bunnicula was a dangerous vampire, and often tried many ways to get rid of him (including staking him with an actual steak).
- In Adopt a Vampire, Chester has motion sickness.
- Chester’s personality in the show is reminiscent of Harold’s from the books, though he is more grouchy than Book Harold.
- In Lafitte's Lucky Locket, he is the reincarnation of Pirate Chester.
- Chester was shown being given as a present to Mina on her 5th Birthday when he was a kitten. Since Mina turns 13 during the course of the show, that would mean Chester is about eight years old.
- Chester doesn't appear for four episodes.
- Chester frequently breaks the fourth wall in several episodes. This one got Harold to question who he is talking to before it turns out he is talking to Abe Lincoln's ghost.
- Although unable to communicate with Bunnicula, he often does get the gist of his words.
