Character Bio

Nutty designs

Nutty is a lime squirrel with a yellow diamond-shaped marking on his head and a large curled-up tail that moves when he is excited. Nutty has an addiction for candy or anything that is sugary, assuming that he has a sweet tooth. He has a big swirly lollipop, candy cane, small all-day sucker, and a candy apple stuck to his fur, which he even treats as his wardrobe, as evidenced in Chew Said a Mouthful, where he is shown dressing in them and even taking great care in straightening his candy cane like a tie, although this changes at times, where he eats them outright as seen in Nuttin' Wrong with Candy. In his debut episode Nuttin' Wrong with Candy, he eats the swirly lollipop on his head and the candy attached to his fur falls off, meaning that Nutty was seen without candy stuck to him for the first time.

It is apparent that his googly eye is an amblyopia (or lazy eye, in layman's term), as it is almost always looking down and drops down whenever he looks somewhere else; it also bounces around when he jitters. In some episodes, however, he seems to be able to control it, usually whenever he looks at an object intently. Due to animation errors, Nutty's lazy eye and candy switch positions multiple times, similar to Lumpy antlers. An example for the former, in Icy You, his lazy eye is his left eye but when he notices the slushy machine, it is his right eye for the rest of the episode.

Nutty jittering

This is how Nutty typically walks.

As a result of his huge sugar intakes, Nutty is often hyperactive and jittery, and giggles more than he talks (sometimes he even giggles while he is dying). He was first heard actually speaking when he wishes for a scrumptious lollipop in As You Wish. One drop of sugar makes him hyper to the point that he could create a tornado like a certain "Tasmanian Devil", as is seen in Party Animal. He sometimes foams at the mouth when deprived of candy or any other sugar-related items as seen in Nuttin' Wrong with Candy. As seen in the False Alarm episode, he can go insane if left without candy for too long. It also shows that once he loses one addiction, he is susceptible to start a new one almost immediately, hinting that he probably has an addictive personality. He also becomes momentarily sad after finishing his candy. The episode also shows that when Nutty is in contact with a lot of candy he will stuff himself to the point to where it almost kills him.

Nutty will do whatever it takes to get the sugar he wants, even if it will hurt or even kill him and others around him. If he does not get what he wants, he becomes very irate. Nutty will eat other types of "food", occasionally mistaking them for candy (like in Class Act, when he eats part of Sniffles' body and some cardboard, thinking it was a candy cane, or in Concrete Solution when he eats a whole bag of cement mix, mistaking it for a bag of sugar), but this is very rare. He will also eat regular food, like pancakes, but he usually drenches them in syrup first, as is seen in Concrete Solution. However, since the release of the Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm (episode), he has gotten a lot more control over his candy addiction. This can be seen in episodes like Swelter Skelter and Camp Pokeneyeout. His personality is also a lot calmer than usual, as seen in episodes like Wrath of Con, The Carpal Tunnel of Love, Random Acts of Silence, and All Work and No Play. However his treatment appears to have worn off in the episode Going Out With a Bang, as he is back to jittering, stealing, confusing objects for candy, and getting other characters killed.

He is one of few characters to have an account on the website MySpace, where it mentions that he has fourteen dental cavities. This is probably not helped by the fact that he brushes his teeth with a lollipop and sugar, and uses soda as mouthwash. He drinks coffee ground from jellybeans and still has to add more than a bowlful of sugar to the beverage to make it sweet enough for his tastes.

In the Second Serving DVD, he has his own breakfast cereal called "Sugar Frosted Nutty Honey", but there are hardly any cereal pieces in it - the picture only shows a large pile of sugar in the bowl. Nutty is usually featured in episodes revolving around candy, with the exception of Eye Candy, where Toothy is used instead. It is rumored that when Eye Candy was made, Nutty had already been prominently featured in another episode, which was why that choice was made.

Nutty's love for candy has often led to the demise of both himself and others, but it is his hyperactive personality that has made him one of the show's most memorable characters. Nutty cares more about candy than he does about his friends. In Party Animal, he pushes aside an allergy-stricken Flaky to eat chocolate. In A Sucker for Love Part 1, he tries to steal a lollipop from Cub. In Chew Said a Mouthful, he steals a gurney with a badly injured Toothy on it so he could get a jawbreaker. In Concrete Solution, he steals a bag of sugar from the Happy Tree Café, he stalks Cuddles for his ice cream in Sweet Ride, and he steals Cuddles and Toothy's box of fireworks in Going Out With a Bang.

Sweet Ride

No candy is safe under Nutty's watch.

Nutty's addiction often gets other characters injured and killed, giving him a large kill count. One of the biggest examples of this is in Class Act where his love for candy injures Sniffles and leads to the chain reaction that ultimately kills every character. He seems to lack common sense (which is evidenced in many episodes), especially when sugar or what he believes to be sugar is involved, something that commonly leads to his death. His deaths usually involve his mouth, getting impaled, split apart, shredded, or breathing problems, and some of those deaths Nutty might even deserve due to his cruel actions towards others in his quest for candy.

The only TV episodes Nutty survives in are Doggone It (Not seen, but heard, and also debatable), A Change of Heart, and In a Jam. In the internet shorts he survives Nuttin' but the Tooth, I Get a Trick Out of You, Out of Sight, Out of Mime, A Sucker for Love Part 1, Something Fishy, and Camp Pokeneyeout. He also survives Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm (episode), Milk Pong, and the HTF Break short Bite Sized.
