Luckee is described as a "Male Wheel Thing?" but seems to be a rabbit looking creature based off of several gambling related objects. His main body is shaped after a gumball/gachapon machine with a turn key in the middle of his torso, and a slot for prizes just below that. He has a collar with 4 colours (Green, yellow, red and blue) representing the prizes he can get with a red arrow in the middle the points to the center of the coloured wedges. He also wears a top hat that houses his "ears" as noted by his Manic design which is missing both the hat and the ears.

Personality Luckee's personality is very simple and almost childlike. He refers to himself in the third person and doesn't use a lot of conjunction words. He showcases jealous behaviour in a few of his quotes, and is shown to be a well intentioned Kleptomaniac in one of his conversations with Loaffle where he stole sandwiches so he could have "More tasty prizes”

Description Created to serve as the game master for many episodes, we are unsure what objects the staff fused to create him, although the leading theory is that he was created from a gumball machine and a prize wheel. Do not let his deeply unserious personality fool you, he isn't as stupid as he appears. Luckee, titled "The Lucky", is a Foundation Toon created to serve as the game master for many episodes in Somni and the Dream Engine. Going off his appearance alone, it appears the objects used to create him were a gumball machine and a prize wheel.

He and his sister Loaffle is very close with each other, and he's friendly with most of the other toons, as he was interacting with Nara, innocently questioning what would a Commissioned toon is and being glad that his sister was able to be permanent in the show due to how popular she is.
