Animal (Aston Kelly)

"Animal" (born Simon) was a friend of Riley Costello, who helped Riley celebrate his stag do in September 2011. Doug Carter was left unimpressed by Animal, initially fearing that there may be a problem between the pair with Doug being Riley's best man. Animal discovered that Riley's brother Seth Costello was a virgin and encouraged stripper Honey to give him a lap dance. He also started a rivalry with Ed Wolfe and his gang after setting fire to their clothes during a paintball match, with Animal and Ed later fighting in a bar. He also gave Doug advice after Doug discovered that Riley's fiancée Mercedes Fisher had been unfaithful.
After discovering that Warren Fox had tricked Seth into believing that he had killed Honey, Animal planned revenge with Riley and Doug. Warren convinced Ed to get revenge on Animal first, but Animal was later discovered. Animal visited Ed and turned him against Warren, resulting in Warren being attacked. Warren armed himself with a baseball bat to attack Animal, boarding their boat as the group prepared to go white water rafting. Warren ended up tipping the boat and Animal managed to rescue Seth, Riley and Mitzeee Minniver.
The group later left. Animal did not attend Riley's wedding in October 2011.
