The English Wiktionary lists "canopy" as a possible meaning, and an example for a canopy is the upper part of a parachute. That's what I'll use to represent this character in other characters. In the anglepod, Gitta Giraffe just invented the art of building a parachute out of berets and bananas, using the berets as canopy and banana peels as strings. Soon, this new sport spreads all over the world as the new thing to do.

Doggy Dog follows a rigid training plan in the space station's bathroom to spend his time, even though he is sick and has a fever. To measure the degree of intensity of his fever, he uses a thermometer to measure his temperature. Even while doing this he still boxes a flower pot (which he suspended from a parachute) with his boxing glove.
