"Umm.. A corn dog! Ooh, ooh, no, no, no..! A corn dog with a.. BEE!"
- Sid using Virgil's helmet to produce his greatest fantasy
Sid Shrew is one of Ally Cassandra's henchmen who first appeared in the cancelled TV-series, then as a duplicate enemy in Bubsy II.
Personality
Sid is animalistic and constantly haunted by the feeling of hunger. He's told his colleague, Boz, he requires food every 10 minutes, which in combination with his low intellect makes him easy to bribe, distract, and manipulate. Having that said, he's mostly harmless.
He has a minimalistic vocabulary and the little he says is usually related to food. His favorite meal and additives are insects, yet he was willing to eat the two bobcats, Terry and Terri, even though shrews are insectivores with an additional taste for small rodents.
Since he's openly and unapologetically incompetent, Ally's choice to hire him is odd.
In Bubsy II's manual, he's described as sneaky and pathetic. He and Boz are presented as an independent crime duo and claimed to be best friends.
Appearance
Sid is a small, chubby, purple-furred anthropomorphic shrew with fangs, small ears, yellow eye white, and a deranged look to him. He wears a damaged dark-red tank top and has a bandaged tail.
Trivia
- Shrews are factually starving and need to eat most of their own body weight in order to stay alive.
- In Bubsy II's manual, he's named "Sid 'the Vicious' Shrew";
- This nickname comes from one of Bubsy's lines in the pilot episode, though it's unsure if it was ever part of Sid's actual name.
