Who is on the mountain

Back row, left to right: Shiok Sambal with arms crossed, Aircon Angel in sunglasses throwing a peace sign, Kiasu King doing a one-leg prayer pose, and Atas Auntie in shades, pearls and handbag, holding a teacup. Front row: Big Bao giving a shaka, Broccoli Beast with a dumbbell and a pink protein shaker, and a seventh pet that we are not naming.
