The Staff of Unspeakable Evil (character)

*Not to be confused with the Season 1 episode of the same name*

**The Staff of Unspeakable Evil** (simply referred to as **The Staff**) is the tritagonist of the Buttered Side Down series.

## Appearance

The Staff of Unspeakable Evil takes appearances from ancient bamboo tribe staffs. He is somewhere between an 4-5 foot light-tan colored staff. His head/skull is seen smiling, with glowing red eyes, and dangling white hair at the back.

## Personality

Despite his name, the Staff of Unspeakable Evil isn't technically evil, and rather just mischievous, even being good friends with Buttered Side Down. However, in his debut episode, he wasn't like that, and was subjected to being used as a tool by Buttered, before he finally lashed out and angerly left.

The only "evil" role he had in the series, was in Spies and Bad Guys, where he played as the villain in the episode, though this was only revealed to be a imaginary play by him and Buttered. The staff also has a revengeful side as well, in Hunting a Ghost, where after being abandoned by Buttered at a haunted house, he tampers with Buttered's electricity and flickers his lights on and off.
