## Official Bio

*"[Flash is] the fastest sloth working at the DMV—the Department of Mammal Vehicles."*
## Background

Not much is currently known about Flash's background, but it is shown he befriended Nick Wilde and was hired by the DMV sometime prior to the events of the film.

## Personality

Despite his slowness, Flash is a friendly sloth. He is polite to Judy Hopps and speaks quite professionally, which makes him sound more intelligent than he looks. Flash seems to be well acquainted with Nick Wilde and speaks to him in his casual, friendly way.

He willingly helps Judy, but can be easily distracted, as seen when Nick interrupts Flash's work to tell him a joke; Flash enjoys jokes, finding them hilarious. He even goes so far as to retell them to his co-worker, Priscilla Tripletoe.

## Role in the Film

When Nick brings Judy to the DMV, Nick wastes her time and annoys her by telling Flash a joke, who then later tells it to his co-worker, Priscilla, after taking a while to react.

At the end of the film, Judy and Nick are given the task of apprehending a street racer. Pulling over his speeding vehicle, the two discover the racer to be Flash.

He is last seen dancing slowly with Priscilla at Gazelle's concert during the film's credit sequence.

## Role in *Dinner Rush*

Flash takes Priscilla to dinner at a restaurant in the Rainforest District, where their slow approach causes their server Sam a great deal of stress, as she is stopped from serving the other restaurant patrons. As they are about to assail Sam, Flash proposes to Priscilla, to which she appears first to decline "No" - much to Flash's sorrow - yet she hadn't finished, and she accepted Flash's proposal. As Sam offers her congratulations, Flash and Priscilla state that their night was to continue with their attending the Gazelle concert, coincidentally the same concert Sam was hoping to attend at the end of her shift.

It is revealed at the end of the episode that when Judy and Nick caught him for being the street racer, he was in fact speeding towards the Gazelle concert, with Priscilla and Sam in the car with him.

## Role in Literature

#### *Quick As A Flash!*

The comic begins with Flash watching a hyena telling Priscilla a joke. As the hyena reaches the door and waves to Priscilla, Kameela chastises Flash for being so slow and urges him to ask Priscilla out on a date. Flash approaches Priscilla and starts to ask her to a movie, but he is not quick enough as the hyena returns and asks Priscilla to a movie, to which she agrees. Priscilla asks Flash what he was going to say, but he is too dumbstruck to reply, and Kameela sighs that Flash is too slow to catch even another sloth.

## Role in *Zootopia: Crime Files*

Flash appears in Necklace Nabbers, the fifth case of the game. He assists Judy and Nick in helping them finding clues at the DMV such as a portfolio, shredded paper which is a sale of goods record, and a velvet bag from Tiger's Eye Jewelry Store to find the suspect.

## Trivia
