He can be stopped by Dora, Boots and the viewer saying "Swiper, no swiping!" thrice, upon which after he snaps his fingers with his catchphrase, "Oh, man!" before escaping. However, he has been shown to expose his heroic side in some episodes like "Swiper the Explorer", where he assists Dora and Boots in returning a baby fox to its parents.
