Mateo Christopher Garcia, also known simply as Mateo, is one of the two main protagonists (along with his sister, Izzie) of the Lego Dreamzzz franchise.
He is an artist, a student at Francis B. Wooley Middle School, a member of the Dream Chasers and the creator of Z-Blob, a fictional character from his early comic who later came to existence thanks to the hourglass used by Lunia, the last Dreamkeeper.
He is voiced by Marcos "Macro" Cardenas, who also voices for his dark clone MadTeo.
Personality[]
Mateo is regarded as an introverted yet highly gifted artist who exhibits traits of protectiveness, softness, and curiosity. Despite his outward appearance of nervousness, quietness, and weakness, he harbors a secret courage.
Mateo possesses a wildly powerful sense of imagination, capable of bringing to life one of his comic Z-Blob in his dream, so completely that the little thing was able to cross into the Waking World. For Mateo, the art of Dreamcrafting can come exceptionally easy, and this imagination helps him to even utilize Lunia's Hourglass, which only a Dream Keeper should be able to use. Despite his abilities, Mateo is frequently held back by his lack of confidence in them.
He has dislikes for running and sports.
Appearance[]
Waking World[]
In his Waking World form, Mateo has brown hair with a blonde streak, styled in dreadlocks. He has vitiligo, resulting in a distinct spot around his right eye that is lighter than the rest of his skin. He wears a blue sweatshirt, black pants with a green belt, and red shoes. For sleepwear, Mateo wears a blue t-shirt with a superhero on the front and red boxers with white spots.
Dream World[]
Season 1[]
For his Dream World form, Mateo retains most of his Waking World appearance, except for the spot and his right eye becoming green, as well as two streaks of green at the front of his dreadlocks. He also wears a green cape, a different belt, and a green bandolier with a gold buckle and an image of an hourglass on it.
Season 2[]
Mateo wears a white sweater with a green collar and Z-Blob surrounded by a red edge underneath a light blue puffer vest, khaki cargo pants with a red belt, and white and red boots, stylized with a black 'M' on the sides and red ones at the front. The green spot around his eye has spread and one of the green dreadlocks is now red.
