Fang

Fang is Horrid Henry's pet hamster. He lives with Henry, Perfect Peter, Mum and Dad, but Fang is solely owned and cared for by Henry. He is the tritagonist of the series. He also lives with Fluffy and is not the only pet in the house. He doesn't like Fluffy at first, and sometimes a situation with Peter's cat badly ends when Fang does the work Henry wants him to do, but later he and Fluffy befriend each other.
==History==
===Pre-series===
In "Horrid Henry's Top Ten Things", Henry reveals that Fang was a present for learning how to ride his bike. Henry seems to have been around 7 when he learned.
==Description==
Henry is Fang's closest friend and possibly his only friend. Fang formerly used to feud with Fluffy and has a helpful ear when Henry needs someone to talk to. He made his first major role in "Horrid Henry and the Zombie Hamster" when Henry told him to be quiet, and this upset Fang thinking Henry wants to be left alone, so he runs out the window. Unlike other hamsters, he has many skills and talents. According to Henry, he only bites Henry's enemies and people who Fang thinks are evil or horrible.
He is the most athletic animal on the show and also one of the strongest characters, as he can throw a slipper his size and can manoeuvre through obstacles on his skateboard in "Horrid Henry: I Am Not a Hamster". 
==Appearance ==
Fang has a slightly darker gold colour has brown spots all over his body and one on his left eye. He has sharp buckteeth and has a cream belly. However, in "Horrid Henry and the Secret Club", his colour is lighter and only has one spot on his body and lacks the spot on his eye and his fur is smoother.
==​Personality==
===Series 1-2===
In early episodes, Fang was described as a vicious, toothy, and bites-a-lot hamster. He is extremely full of energy and often gets himself in trouble. He was quite aggressive, and has even bitten Henry, as seen twice in "Horrid Henry's Horrid Hamster".
===Series 3-present===
Fang's character was changed in Series 3, where he became more loyal to Henry and now says "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah".
Despite his slightly crazy side and seems like an average hamster, he appears to be athletic in "Horrid Henry and the Boodle Poodle", since he can dance, hula hoop, skateboard, slipper throw and also swimming. In Horrid Henry: The Movie, he can also sing, but he also helped eat the vegetable stew during the Too Cool For School challenge.
In "Horrid Henry: I Am Not a Hamster", he obeys Henry and is a very loyal hamster and can understand English. He is Henry's backup as shown in "Horrid Henry and the Tickly Treats Thief", where he takes the photo of the culprit eating the Tickly Treats. If Henry faces trouble, Fang will side with him. He loves eating Tickly Treats.
However, in the episode "Horrid Henry and the Snotslimer Redemption", Fang's personality is explained in more depth. He is more courageous and willing to help those in need such as other hamsters, even going so far as to lead them from the school to a new life.
== Relationships ==
===Henry===
Fang's best friend ever, when Henry is in trouble, Fang will help. Fang helps to deliver the comic books to Henry and helps Henry when he is in a pickle. He spends time with Henry and Ralph too and is considered the 'Royal Pet' in the Series 4 intro. However, he does get frustrated when Henry messes up quite a lot, but Fang just hates to see his owner unhappy. 
===Peter===
Fang appears to hold a grudge against Peter in the early series, because he often tells on Henry and enjoys getting him into trouble, which Fang hates as he is so loyal to Henry. He is also seen growling at Peter in "Horrid Henry and the Killer Boy Rats" and "Horrid Henry and the Zombie Hamster" when Peter wanted to put a baby bonnet on him. Fang also farted at Peter in "Horrid Henry, Nothing But The Truth". But in later episodes, Fang doesn't seem to mind Peter as he is now Chief Secretary to Henry, but as Peter is sometimes still cruel or traitorous to Henry, Fang and Peter are more or less frenemies. 
===Fluffy===
Fang's former rival and current friend, Fang and Fluffy were once arch-rivals of one another as shown in "Horrid Henry's Household Chores", "Horrid Henry and the Zombie Hamster", "Horrid Henry and the Tickly Treats Thief" and "Horrid Henry Where's Fluffy?". Fluffy soon joins Fang's side. Fluffy also helps Fang in "Horrid Henry and the Boodle Poodle" while he was trying to swim. In Series 4, Fang and Fluffy normally use the tablet for music and to record dancing but delete the recording so nobody will know their secret. Fluffy and Fang have teamed up in "Horrid Henry's Animal Antics". 
===Margaret===
Fang shows hostility against Margaret. In "Horrid Henry's Horrid Hamster", Fang traumatises Margaret along with the other students, but soon in "Horrid Henry and the Boodle Poodle", she is no longer scared of Fang but calls him a rat despite Fang being a hamster.
====Others====
===Boodle Poodle's===
Fang's opponent in the Boodle Poodle Competition from "Horrid Henry and the Boodle Poodle". Fang and the Boodle Poodle fought through hula hooping, slipper throwing, dancing and synchronized swimming though not real synchronized swimming according to Ralph. Fang manages to beat the Boodle Poodle despite Margaret not announcing the winner. Despite Fang's disdain for Boodle Poodle's, he and Fluffy easily befriended Margaret's new pet Boodle Poodle, with no hesitation and seemed nice when the Boodle Poodle left, waving at her with Fluffy. This implies Fang only hates Boodle Poodles who are mean or challenge him. 
==Horrid Henry The Good, The Bad and The Bugly ==
