Crazy is what I bring to the party, chico!
―Mr. Piranha.

Mr. Piranha is an amazon red-bellied piranha who is the short-fused "muscle" of the group and one of the tritagonists in the DreamWorks film, The Bad Guys.

Background[]

Personality[]

Mr. Piranha is the feisty and hot-tempered muscle who is known to be the one whom is in charge with all the close combat fights, usually able to go against many at once, emerging victorious on practically every fight.

He doesn't come without flaws however, as if the Bad Guys were to be stuck in a tight situation, it makes his stomach upset which results him into passing heavy amount of noxious gases, which at one point nearly got the gang caught by the audience, Diane Foxington, and Professor Marmalade at the Golden Dolphin Presentation at the museum as Ms. Tarantula was trying to disable the security systems.

Piranha appeared to have anger issues as he was easily tempted to pick a fight with Tarantula when she teases him on how he is going to fail the task when he was walking Wolf across the road.

Despite his flaws, however, Piranha appears to be a decent, if not crazy, person who deeply cares for his friends and is quite loyal to them. He also genuinely tries to be a gentle person, as seen when he attempts to calm a cat down who was stuck in a tree.

Mr. Piranha is a small, stocky-yet-muscular anthropomorphic Red-bellied piranha with its species basic traits, such as sharp teeth and the signature orange gradient that colors under his mouth and arms.
