Henry the Octopus is a fun-loving octopus who lives under the sea and likes to make music with his Underwater Big Band. He also likes to dance and spin around. He is the main protagonist and star of his own segment, a major character in all of The Wiggles videos, a supporting character in the first series, a recurring character in the second series and one of the main characters of the rest of the TV seasons. He also has a minor role in Seasons 7-8.

Henry likes to sing and to dance with his eight legs. He is said to have a bubbly personality and loves a good joke.

According to Anthony in [http://wiggles.wikia.com/wiki/Everybody_Clap!_Everybody_Sing! Everybody Clap! Everybody Sing!], Henry was named after Tony Henry.

Even though at many times he is voiced by Paul Paddick after 2006, he is still occasionally voiced by Jeff.
