Rocko Rama also known as Rocko Wallaby is the main character from Rocko's Modern Life. He is an anthropomorphic wallaby who emigrated to the United States, from Australia and works at "Kind of a Lot o' Comics" as a cashier (although he had other jobs, including being a product tester at Conglom-O and being an underwear model) before becoming unemployed due to the shop being replaced by a printing kiosk in Static Cling. A running gag is that other characters assume that Rocko is another kind of animal (usually a beaver, kangaroo, rabbit, or a dog), and then he goes into a lengthy (and often unconvincing) explanation that he is a wallaby. He has very good luck and treatment from others in most episodes.

Rocko's original character design had yellow fur, but because a toy company that had planned to produce toys of the show insisted on his fur instead being beige, a change that Joe Murray stated he has never liked.

According to George Maestri, Rocko's surname is never given because the writers did not think of a family name that they desired.[3] In a concept sketch Murray named the character "Rocko Rama".[1] The writers considered the family name "Stretchbrain" because the character's brain popped out of his head during "odd moments."[3] The writers scrapped the idea, leaving the character with one given name. Contradicting Murray's concept sketch, the Boom! Studios revival comic depicts his surname as being "Wallaby". He is very shy in every episode and a good dancer and good lead singer.
