Conker the Squirrel

Conker the Squirrel is the titular main protagonist from the Conker series.
== Charactah Account ==
A snarky and cynical squirrel who's trying to find a way back to his girlfriend Berry.
In Diddy Kong Racing and Conker's Pocket Tales, Conker appears to be a nice and kind person who obeys rules and always seems to be happy-go-lucky.
In Conker's Bad Fur Day however, Conker went through a dramatic change in personality. He had become a slightly greedy, alcoholic squirrel. His relationship with Berri is not as good as it was, and drinking alcoholic beverages is a regular part of Conker's life. As the game implies, Conker disobeyed the rules his parents told him as a kid. These personality traits are also noticed in Conker: LIve and Reloaded. Like most of the other squirrels in the Conker franchise, Conker is ignorant, ditzy and carefree. He helps almost every person in the game, not caring what they want or how dangerous the tasks are. And ever since he became alcoholic, he became a bit kooky like most of the other squirrels in the franchise. This was shown when even after he was cured of his dizziness, he still didn't notice he was going the wrong way. And while he was asking the Gargoyle "Isn't it a little bit early in the day to start talking about Gothic Architecture?", the time of day has nothing to do with architecture.

== Trivia ==
* Conker was originally going to appear in Diddy Kong Racing DS, however, due to copyright issues, he was replaced by Dixie Kong by Rare. If one were to listen closely, the music that played in the original Diddy Kong Racing when the player was about to choose Conker can be heard when the player was about to choose Dixie.
* Conker's name is likely a play on the word Conquer, as he takes the throne after the Panther King's death.
** However it most likely comes from a traditional children's game conkers, a game that uses horse chestnuts which also called conkers.
* Conker's full name is Conker the Squirrel, as he states to Gregg the Grim Reaper. This means that his real middle name is "The" and his last name is "Squirrel", as stated by many characters.
* Professor von Kriplespac states that a Red Squirrel's scientific name is Furrius squidgeterrius, however, in the real world it is Sciurus vulgaris. Humorously, the species name, vulgaris, contains the word, vulgar, which can easily describe Conker's personality.
* Conker also makes a cameo in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts in a newspaper.
* He is shown to have good juggling and yoyo skills as shown when idle.
* He hates butterflies.
* He's ticklish.
* Conker keeps breaking the fourth wall at the player in entire game.
* Conker's personal is very similar to Bugs Bunny from the Looney Tunes franchise.
* Conker can hover for a short time by making his tail spin like a propeller, which could be a reference to Miles "Tails" Prower, of Sonic the Hedgehog fame, who is known for performing the same action.
* Conker can sometimes be seen with playing with a yo-yo in one of his idle animations. This could be a possible reference to Crash Bandicoot, who would often play with a yo-yo when left idle in three of his first four games.
** Conker can be seen playing juggling is quite similar to Diddy Kong, who often playing juggling in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest; another game made by Rare.
* In Conker: Live & Reloaded, Conker's character sprite is a tad shorter than the original game.
* Despite his anti-heroic nature, Conker cosplays as several movie heroes during his adventure, including:
** Van Helsing, from the film of the same name.

** Neo from The Matrix trilogy.
* His height is 145 cm (4'9")
