Max (Sam & Max)

Max, also known as Hyperkinetic Rabbity Thing, Little Buddy, Little Pal, Maximillian and Maxwell, is one of the main protagonists from the Sam & Max series.
== Charactah Account ==
Violent, impulsive and indulgent in the extreme, Max is an active member of the Freelance Police alongside his long-time partner and friend, Sam.
Max is best described as silly, funny, feisty, immature, reckless, impatient, annoying, destructive, and violent. However, it's shown he can be quite emotional and caring, more so in the cartoon series than in the video games. Purcell describes him as 'being made up of pure Id', and when it comes to comparing him and Sam, he states that "Sam is the guy we are, while Max is the guy we want to be".
Max enjoys extreme violence and prefers to solve problems aggressively. He has a slight distaste for the long stories, anecdotes, and sentences that Sam constantly spouts forth, often asking Sam and others not to use different words such as 'ensue' and 'acumen'. He shares Sam's enthusiasm in just about anything, especially if it involves large guns and trouble. He also has very poor hygiene, as he sometimes tastes his own belly button lint, and once had a large "suspicious growth" behind his ear. Sam has commented on his pungent bodily odors on more than one occasion.
