I'm sorry for being so hard on you, Cesar. I realize what I said was pretty harsh.

This game is directed towards young children. The developers added these little guys to appeal to the younger audience so that the game would be even more awesome. (My assumption, anyway.) Either when you begin or finish your island, you're likely to take a look around and appreciate the design, so everyone would have seen these characters sooner or later. :)

Also, in a sense they're advertising their other games at the same time.
