* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Slightly. In the movie, after Arthur has fetched them a shrubbery, they announce that he must now get them another shrubbery, and after that he must "cut down the mightiest tree in the forest wiiiiith... a herring!" In this version they initially give Arthur the choice between getting them a shrubbery and cutting down the tree with the herring. Arthur understandably chooses the shrubbery.

* NiceGuy: Probably the kindest person in the musical; after Lancelot defends him against his abusive dad and ends up distraught and confused when said dad calls him gay, he puts his own issues aside to help him come out of the closet, with a song that compliments and encourages his true nature. Though this may have been slightly selfish, considering it let to Herbert getting with a muscley beefcake; it's still very sweet.
