History Characters / ABugsLife

* FaceDeathWithDespair: His last moments in the film are him screaming in horror as he's lowered into a nest of baby birds to be eaten.

* TheDragon: As Hopper's personal attack dog, he fits the bill better than [[MinionWithAnFInEvil Molt]].

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Psychotic and ultra-violent he may be, [[OhCrap he was just as stunned]] [[MassOhCrap as everyone else]] to see [[spoiler:Hopper coldly killing a few of his other minions just to prove a point]].

* VileVillainLaughableLackey: The Laughable Lackey to Hopper's Vile Villain.

* HateSink: Even though he cares about his deceased mother and her wishes, it's overshadowed by the fact that he is still a {{jerkass}}, a malignant {{narcissist}}, and a {{sadist}} who loves bullying the ants.

* GeniusBruiser: He can easily beat down most anybody else in the film, and he's hardly dumb; he knows that if all the ants stood up to the grasshoppers, since they're far more numerous, the ants would easily push them away. [[spoiler:And indeed it does happen, they just needed a push.]]

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The moment he first enters the ant colony, everyone, ant and grasshopper alike, pay attention to him.

* TRexpy: Perhaps appropriately seeing as [[FridgeBrilliance the animal class it came from is the last surviving remnant of the dinosaurs]] (More specifically, theropod dinosaurs), it clearly takes inspiration from fictionalized portrayals of giant predatory dinosaurs--its song sounds like a roar from the bugs' perspective, it has a GiantFootOfStomping etc.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:While his death really was horrific, the sheer amount of cruelty he had done makes it hard to feel sympathy towards him.]]

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Due to being a non-anthropomorphic bird, it behaves purely on animal instinct and preys on all and any bug for food.

* PapaWolf: He instantly springs into action when he sees that his circus performers being attacked by a "bird".

* TheBait: His role while dealing with the bird. He's very unhappy when he gets stuck and performs the role longer then he wanted.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:While his death really was horrific, the sheer amount of cruelty he have done makes it hard to feel sympathy towards him.]]

%%* TheCutie: An ant version this time.
