Freddy (Barnyard)

Freddy is the tritagonist of the Barnyard franchise. He is one of Otis' best friends. He is a very funny, but dim-witted, ferret (although he more closely resembles a waddling kangaroo) and is best friends with Peck, a weak rooster whom he's often tempted to eat; he used to be a carnivore, but then he's become a vegetarian to assimilate to the barnyard. However, in multiple times in the series, Freddy has shown gestures of or attempted to eat Peck, but every time when he tries, his attempt is thwarted, either intentionally or unintentionally. He is illiterate, and suffers from paranoid delusions and has multiple personality disorders. It's notable how Freddy is the only character to almost be banished from the barnyard twice for crimes he never committed. Also, he's a character who's been struck by lightning multiple times throughout the series, but once and only once, he temporarily became a genius after being struck. Freddy's superhero name is Paranoid Man.
He was voiced by Cam Clarke, who also voiced Leonardo and Rocksteady in the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series, Shotaro Kaneda in the 1989 original Streamline Pictures English dub of Akira, Liquid Snake in the Metal Gear series, and Fancy-Fancy and Hokey Wolf in Top Cat series.
==Early life==
Freddy used to live with his father and mother and was a carnivore. Sometime, he moved to the Barnyard and became a vegetarian to stay.
==Personality==
Freddy is neurotic, jittery, and appears to suffer from multiple personality disorder at some points. He is best friends with Peck, but constantly has to resist his carnivorous instincts to avoid eating his best friend. Nevertheless, he is very kind and is willing to do anything for his friends. 
Freddy is rather dim-witted and confirmed to be illiterate. He is one of the most paranoid animals in the series. When he is his alter-ego Paranoid Man, he consistently says, "Stop looking at me!".
==Appearance==
Freddy is a gold-colored ferret. He has brown eyes, a tuft of yellow hair on his head, a long tail, whiskers, and a red nose.
In the episode "Save The Clams" and Barnyard: The Video Game, he has blue eyes.
==Trivia==
*Bessy sometimes calls Freddy a mongoose. This is possibly a reference to the pilot, where he was a mongoose instead of a ferret.
*Even though ferret, he seems to be around the same size as a person.
*In a deleted scene from the film, Freddy has a session with Dr. Fillyconcerning his obsession with eating Peck. This was also an early short before the movie was developed.
*His real name could possibly be either Frederick or Alfred.
**Freddy's name is sometimes spelled Freddie.
*In "Some Like It Snotty," Pip says that Freddy doesn't know how to read. However, in some episodes, he does know how to read.
