8	[[folder:Detective Judith "Judy" Laverne Hopps]]
9	The perky, driven, ingenious half of Team [=WildeHopps=].
10	----
11	* TheAce: Both Judy and Nick have gain such a reputation that they are seen as this by just about everyone. Even the villains panic somewhat when they find out just who is on their tail.
12	* BadassAdorable: Well, she's Judy Hopps.
13	* EurekaMoment: Referred to as 'flashes', when an offhand statement or thought triggers a deductive leap.
14	* EveryoneCanSeeIt: With Nick, to the point that [[PortmanteauCoupleName WildeHopps]] is a city-wide title for the two.
15	* FamedInStory: Not only for her busting of the Bellwether Case, but five other [[NoodleIncident frequently mentioned]] cases solved by her and Nick over the past year and a half.
16	* LogicalWeakness: Her first fight with Finn (a ferret), does not go well. As stated, she was inexperienced with ferret perps and her next fight with him is much more in her favor.

19	[[folder:Detective Nicholas "Nick" Piberius Wilde]]
20	The grounded, canny, streetwise half of Team [=WildeHopps=].

23	* ConArtist: despite being out of the game for over a year, Nick can still pull one over on people as easy as breathing.

27	A Dik-dik who decided to try to do the right thing.

30	* [[spoiler: AnArmAndALeg: Loses a hand and an eye to [[TortureTechnician Finn]].]]

41	!!Antagonists
42
43	[[folder:Elim Boakye]]
44	An arrogant, greedy, brindled gnu. TheSmartGuy and de facto leader of The Trio, he fancies himself something of an EvilGenius and almost has a stake in that claim.
45	----
46	* TheAlcoholic: an understated and [[FunctionalAddict extremely functional]] one, but many of his scenes involve him drinking a beer.
47	* BetterLivingThroughEvil: What he hopes to accomplish by destroying Zootopia and claiming his payment.
48	* BoomerangBigot: Initially dismisses the notion that Judy was the one who figured out their plot on the basis that she's a Prey animal. He himself is a brindled gnu, a herbivore.
49	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite essentially being a terrorist scheming to destroy a major metropolitan area, even Elim is shaken by [[TheSociopath Finn]] getting [[DeadlyEuphemism "creative"]] with a victim.
50	* EvilGenius: Despite having a [[BoomerangBigot rabbit-sized]] hole in his world view, Elim is pretty much 100% correct on all his predictions, accurately anticipating Richie's attempt to contact [=WildeHopps=] and how the city would rush to wrap up the case.
51	* {{Greed}}: His primary motivation for doing what he does is basically to have enough money to "do whatever."
52	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Enjoys a cold beer, but values Tusker Lager above all others.
53	* VillainousFriendship: With his teammates, to an almost heartwarming degree. To the point that he wants to be neighbors when they retire with their reward.
54	[[/folder]]
55
56	[[folder:Grigori Yevgenyevich]]
57	An enormous, monstrously strong Eurasian lynx. TheBigGuy and GadgeteerGenius for The Trio, he rarely smiles and is a profoundly savage fighter. Despite this, he cares deeply for his friends and family.
58	----
59	* BetterLivingThroughEvil: His sole motivation to give his mother and little sisters the life he thinks they deserve, and if millions must die for them to get it, so be it.
60	* BigBrotherInstinct: He became a criminal early in life to pay for his younger sisters to have 'pretty things'.
61	* TheBigGuy: Noted at several points as being noticeably huge for a lynx and almost freakishly strong.
62	* BodyHorror: Due to his violent crimes in his home country, he had his fangs and claws removed. Later, he has fake fangs put in.
63	* TheBrute: A massively strong, violent cat with a penchant for breaking people until they die.
64	* BruiserWithASoftCenter: He may be violent, stoic, and brutal, but there is nothing in the world [[AffectionateNickname Grisha]] will not do for his beloved Mama and little sisters.
65	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Grigori will do ANYTHING for his Mama, up to and including destroying a massive city.
66	* HuskyRusskie: A big, strong, stoic lynx who speaks with a deep, heavy accent.
67	* SuperStrength: Can press 200lb 'as often as he has to' and likes to kill his victim with his bare hands. Said victims include a polar bear and a water buffalo.
68	* VillainousFriendship: With his teammates, although more conventionally with Elim. His relationship with Finn is somewhat more contentious.
69	* WouldHitAGirl: Has no problems throwing around and beating a recalcitrant female prisoner.
70	[[/folder]]
71
72	[[folder:Finnegan [=McNulty=]]]
73	[[PsychoForHire Totally]] [[SlasherSmile bug-]][[CuteAndPsycho rut]] [[AxCrazy insane]]. An adorable sable ferret with an easy smile and upbeat attitude. He's also a brutally violent TortureTechnician who loves to [[ManBitesMan chew people to death]]. Serves as the infiltrator, interrogator, and explosives expert for the Trio.
74	----
75	* AffablyEvil: Always smiling, bubbly, and positive in demeanor. He almost never drops this act, even acting friendly towards his victims.
76	* BadassAdorable: As a ferret, he's barely larger than Judy. One of his victims was a ''bull elephant''.
77	* BetterLivingThroughEvil: {{Averted}}. Unlike his teammates, Finnegan is motivated by a [[BloodLust love of bloodshed]]. When asked what he's going to do with his massive reward, he simply replies [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} "Build a chair."]] To clarify, he'd build a chair out of his money and watch Zootopia die from a hilltop. When asked what he wants to do [[AndThenWhat after that]], Finn shrugs and decides to open a restaurant.
78	* {{Bloodlust}}: Claims that the taste of blood makes him see stars.
79	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Doesn't seem to regard his own actions as wrong or deviant, and also seems to interpret Judy's dogged pursuit of him as some bizarre form of courtship.
80	* CatchPhrase: "Hi." Say your prayers.
81	* ColdBloodedTorture: But he's actually very hot-blooded about it.
82	* CuteAndPsycho: Described as being as cute and peppy as any ferret ought to be. Is also a rutting lunatic.
83	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's legitimately disgusted and angered when Elim jokingly suggests that he was going to try to rape Judy Hopps when he had her in a chokehold from behind. (As opposed to severing her spine with his teeth, as he was planning on doing before he was interrupted.)
84	* EvilLaugh: ''Eh-heh-heh-heh-heh!''
85	* FauxAffablyEvil: As soon as Judy starts [[NoSell no-selling]] his baffling antics, he starts to get frustrated and a lot less friendly.
86	* FightingIrish: Mentioned as having a 'brogue' and can pummel/shred animals ten times his size. WordOfGod says that he sounds like Colin Farrell.
87	* HiddenDepths: Apparently a very good cook, and also a registered nurse.
88	* SlasherSmile: Is stated to be different from his default expression, which itself is a smile, and is so ''wrong'' that it turns his face into something [[NightmareFace horrible]].
89	* TheSociopath: A [[EvilLaugh giggling]], [[SlasherSmile grinning]], [[BloodLust bloodthirsty]] monster.
90	* WeUsedToBeFriends: Of the foursome, Finn was closest to Richie. His hurt feelings of betrayal are why he's so enthusiastic about torturing the dik-dik when he gets the chance.
91	* WriteWhoYouKnow: According to the author of the fic, Finnegan was based off a ferret that they used to petsit that did "unspeakable things" to a feeder mouse.
