History Characters / ShaunTheSheep

* GoodCounterpart: To Preston from ''WesternAnimation/ACloseShave''. Both are bipedal dogs who wear a collar and wooly hat, and act as an antagonist towards Shaun. However, Bitzer is a fundamentally good-natured HeroAntagonist who ultimately just wants to do his job of maintaining order on the farm and keeping the animals safe, and can even be on friendly terms with Shaun when the latter's antics don't get too out of hand. Preston, however, proved to be an outright murderous CompleteMonster.

* SpoiledBrat: Implied. While it's somewhat justified due to [[spoiler: her very young age]], a lot of the destruction she causes is because she refuses to take "No" as an answer from Shaun, and when he finally gets sharp with her, she sulks. [[spoiler:Also her parents reaction to her explaining all the chaos she committed can best be interpreted as [[PushoverParents "Oh, that's nice"]], with little attempt to explain that ''taking a joyride with their spaceship'' was wrong.]]

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: For his two Season 1 appearances, he resembled a limbed bean with pointy ears, but was redesigned the be distinctly more cat-like for his expanded role in Season 2.

* TemporaryBulkChange: In "Shape Up With Shaun", she temporarily becomes slim, but then goes back to normal.

* HiddenDepths: Several episodes like "Frantic Romantic" and "Happy Farmer's Day" shows Shaun to be an excellent cook.

* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: In "Babysitte Bitzer", he ended up watching Timmy while the flock went out on a lady's night. Needless to say, it turns out to be a very trying experience.

* IJustWantToBeLoved: Despite enjoying going around the city, Slip wants to be adopted by someone. This reflects how it would be Shaun's life without the Farmer. She gets her wish in the ending, when she's adopted by a bus driver.

* MenInBlack: Subverted pretty fast. They look competent and dangerous at first... up until we get to their base. Lu-la's UFO is apparently the first they have ever found, their only known base is situated under a (fake) car wash and they work for the [[FunWithAcronyms Ministry of Alien Detection]], and appear to have a few dozen people working for them at most.

* PunchClockVillain: And even this is downplayed, at worst. They aren't really actively malevolent - at worst, they appear to be trying to establish a peaceful FirstContact, do their jobs, find alien spacecraft/[=UFO=]s for study, and not get ridiculed.

* SpoiledBrat: Implied. While it's somewhat justified due to [[spoiler: her very young age]], a lot of the destruction she causes is because she refuses to take "No" as an answer from Shaun, and when he finally gets sharp with her, she sulks. [[spoiler:Also her parents reaction to her explaining all the chaos she committed can best be enterpreted as [[PushoverParents "Oh, that's nice"]], with little attempt to explain that ''taking a joyride with their spaceship'' was wrong.]]

->Voiced by David Holt

* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: [[spoiler:In TheMovie, he's revealed to have a fuller head of hair in his younger days. Now he's on the verge of balding completely]]

* IJustWantToBeLoved: Despite enjoying going around the city, Slip wants to be adopted by someone. This reflects how it would be Shaun's life without the Farmer.

* HammerSpace: Her large fleece serves as a storage space for all kinds of objects. It is so large that other animals and even Shaun can hide in her fleece without trouble.

* DogVsMailman: In "Dangerous Deliveries", he develops a bad habit of chasing the postman whenever he shows up, requiring Shaun and the flock to try and help him break it.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Especially in "Go Bitzer Go" where she falls victim to ''two'' go-kart crashes.

* MaximumCapacityOverload: In "Ill Wind", when the sheep were having fun riding the blades of the Farmer's new windmill, when Shirley jumped on, she ended up causing the thing to swing back and forth, disrupting the Farmer and Blitzer's television program, before eventually falling and causing the mill to spin so fast, it caused a power surge.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Subverted in "Happy Farmer's Day" where it looked like she had eaten a pie that Blitzer had made for the Farmer, requiring the others to make a new one, with [[LethalChef disasterous results]]. It's eventually revealed that Timmy had convinced her to put the pie away in the freezer for safe keeping.
