Starting in late May 2008, Cartoon Network has shown short commercials that promoting various television shows, such as Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action. These commercials feature Noods, small, peanut-shaped, human-like creatures that usually start off colorless, but can change color and shape. They normally represent main characters from Cartoon Network shows. Heather, Gwen, DJ, Chris, Harold, Cody, Trent, Chef, and the bear have all been created as Noods. Owen is seen as a blow-up Nood at a New York City convention, but has never been seen as one on the Cartoon Network commercials.
