Rigby

**Rigby** is a 23-year-old raccoon who is Mordecai's best friend.

## Appearance

Rigby is a brown raccoon with short, spiky hair. He has dark brown
circles around his eyes which is apparently a facial mask, like a normal
 raccoon would usually have.

He also has a long tail with six dark brown stripes on it. In the
 episode "Don", it was shown that when Rigby was six years old, he had a
 single front tooth.

He is 3'2", making him 3'1" shorter than Mordecai and around 27
pounds. Rigby once played "Punchies" with Skips, which resulted in a
damaged butt cheek that required surgery. The result was that it looked
like Rigby only had one butt cheek, instead of two. And as a result, his
 friends call him "The One Cheek Wonder".

Rigby was

 (in most conditions). He even changed his name to *Trash Boat* one time because he thought it would sound cool.

However, Rigby cares about his friends, as he tried to help Pops
with his fear of giving speeches, saved Muscle Man from drowning, saved
everyone from a pack of evil hot dogs, and got angry at Pops when he was
 taking wrestling too far and hurting Mordecai. He also felt bad for
Benson after he said he was going to lose his job.

Rigby has become somewhat more responsible and thoughtful to his
friends as the series has progressed, tending to complain less about
work and sometimes even accomplishing difficult tasks, such as taking on
 Skips' chores in "Fists of Justice" and cleaning up the park ballroom for Margaret's party in "TGI Tuesday."
 However, he still often causes chaos by taking shortcuts or engaging in
 irresponsible behavior, such as using a machine to pump up in "One Pull Up"
 instead of trusting Eileen's training to get the job done. These
efforts usually result in bigger problems than the ones Rigby was trying
 to avoid in the first place, along with the occasional near-destruction
 of the entire park.

## Abilities

Rigby appears to be very fast, acrobatic, sneaky and lazy. He and Mordecai managed to catch up to Gary's truck in "Free Cake",
 which makes him very fast, or the truck very slow. He is a lot faster
than Mordecai, because he can run on all fours when in a hurry. However,
 Rigby isn't very strong, as he is always beaten by Mordecai in a game
called "Punchies." He had lost to Mordecai, Muscle Man, Pops, & Skips
 (who sent him to the hospital -from a helicopter for some reason- with a
 left fractured butt cheek) in the game. He is, although, good at Rock, Paper, Scissors as he beats Mordecai
 almost every time at it. He later manages to get revenge on everyone
except Mordecai (and also some random bystanders) by mastering "The
Death Punch" from the art of Death Kwon Do. He seems to have gotten a little bit stronger in "Meat Your Maker",
 in which he carries Mordecai's body when he was unconscious due to
Rigby having broken the thermostat in the meat locker. Rigby also
demonstrated quick-thinking in that episode, by spraying the hot dogs
with yellow mustard after he realized that the evil hot dogs enjoyed the
 taste. Rigby is afraid of horror movies as seen in "Ello Gov'nor" but is fine in "Grave Sights".
 Due to his somewhat immature nature, Rigby is prone to overly dramatic
reactions to the simplest of events. Often, these reactions are
characterized by his "Shark Face" expression, in which he raises both
arms above his head, and turns his nose upwards, causing his eyes to
appear to move to either side of his head, somewhat resembling a shark;
and his signature "*STOP TALKING!!!*" or "*SHUT UP!!!*"
whenever somebody tries to correct or lecture him. Between him and
Mordecai, he is the most irresponsible, and he often tries to skip work
and disobey Benson's orders. Rigby never finished high school, as
revealed in "More Smarter".

## Main Weaponry

* Star Model B M1911 pistol
* Forest Green lightsaber Shoto

## Skills/Habits/Traits

Rigby has shown a variety of abilities/habits throughout the series:

* **Rock, Paper, Scissors Master** - Rigby is extremely adept

at this game. Ever since the pilot episode, he has always beaten
Mordecai (except in "A Bunch of Baby Ducks", "The Best VHS in the World"
 and "Death Punchies" where he lost to Mordecai).

* **Enhanced Speed** - Being a raccoon, Rigby is most likely

the fastest of the group, seeing as how he can outrun others. He has
used his speed in various situations, such as retrieving The Cover to
The Book of Park Records and momentarily escaping from the jaws of
Snowballs in "Appreciation Day".

* **Light Sleeper** - In many episodes, Rigby is shown to be a

 light sleeper. In the episode, "Ello Gov'nor", he saw the entire movie
without falling asleep. Mordecai was deep asleep while Rigby was awoken
at night in "Really Real Wrestling". This could be due to the fact that
Rigby is nocturnal (like all raccoons). However, like Mordecai, he
managed to sleep through being sent to Australia in "Mordecai and Rigby
Down Under".

* **Vocalist** - In "This Is My Jam" and "Video Game

Wizards", Rigby can sing clearly and appropriately. However, in "Karaoke
 Video", he sings off-tune with Mordecai, probably because they were
both drunk and didn't care what their voices sounded like.

* **Sharp Claws** - He has sharp claws (like all raccoons)

and he used them in "Ello Gov'nor" to attack the young employee who he
thought was the haunted British taxi.

* **Sharp Teeth** - He has sharp teeth (like all raccoons)

and has used them in "High Score" to attack Garrett Bobby Ferguson and
"The Best VHS in the World" to attack Mordecai.

* **Hamboning** - Rigby says that hamboning will save a

person's life someday, as it does in "The Power". It seems to work for
him. In fact, in the episode "Exit 9B", Rigby yells "Hamboning!" several
 times to get Benson to snap out of his trance, thus saving both his
life and Mordecai's from the excavator that Benson was about to crush
them with.

* **Party Animal** - Seeing how both he and Mordecai really

enjoy partying, Rigby likes to party the most as seen in "Party Pete",
"See You There" and other episodes.

* **Skilled Rapper** - Alongside Mordecai, he is shown to be a

 very good at rapping in most episodes, examples being "Party Pete",
"Rap It Up", "Laundry Woes", and "Saving Time". They also even tried to
teach Pops how to rap to go against the CrewCrew to prepare him for the
rap battle.

* **Sense of Humor** - In most episodes, Rigby is often known

 to have a really good sense of humor and displays it a lot in episodes
such as "It's Time" or "Skips in the Saddle".

* **Smooth Talker** - Rigby seems to have to ability swoon ladies while using very good pickups. This was mostly shown in "Skips in the Saddle".
* **Skilled Liar** - Mordecai proves to be a better liar than him many times, but he is still a good liar.
* **Stealing** - As shown in a few episodes, he steals things, such as The Power.
* **Bank Shots -**As shown in "Bank Shot," Rigby is

extremely good at basketball bank shots, to the extent that even the God
 of Basketball recognized him as pulling off the greatest bank shot
ever. Although this is really ironic because in a previous episode he
was really bad at basketball.

* **Stuntman -**Rigby expressed a desire to become a

stuntman in "Caveman" and later received his stuntman license along with
 Muscle Man in "The Heart of a Stuntman."

* **Donut Master** - Seen in "Carter and Briggs", wherein

Rigby along with Mordecai practice the art of "donut driving", and
eventually master it thanks to Muscle Man's tutelage, making them win
the contest in the episode.

* **Imaginative**- Rigby appears to have a wild

imagination, the first obvious hint was possibly in the second season's
"Appreciation Day" episode. The most recent one was in season five's
"Video 101". He shows a great deal of enthusiasm when it comes to his
visual ideas. However, just like Mordecai's, his own imagination seems
to know no boundaries, which evidently results in artistic
exaggerations/fails.

* **Video Game Trivia** - Despite his weak skills at many

video games, Rigby knows a great deal about them, and was proclaimed an
"Expert" on video games after correctly answering 10 questions about
them in "Expert or Liar."

* **Mover** - Rigby successfully completed a week as a mover

in "Lift With Your Back," despite being forced to adhere to a
body-destroying regime that required him to lift heavy boxes with his
back. Though he was called the worst worker ever by the company's owner,
 he did successfully earn a paycheck for his efforts.

* **Utility Whipping** - Despite mostly destroying objects

with a utility whip in "Eileen Flat Screen," Rigby did successfully use
the whip to grab Eileen's TV when it was thrown off an overpass.

## Weaknesses

* **Brains** - As seen in "More Smarter," it is shown that he

is not very intelligent due to his inability to answer a simple math
problem, saying 'more smarter' instead of 'more smart', and not knowing
the difference between a rectangle and a square.

* **Careless** - Shown in "A Bunch of Baby Ducks," he can't even feed himself. Even Mordecai said "Dude, you can't even feed yourself."
* **Claustrophobic** - As seen in "Terror Tales of the Park

II" story "Wallpaper Man," he can't stay in confined spaces for very
long or he'll start to panic; he'll then stop breathing. It wasn't clear
 whether or not that this trait was canon, but was eventually confirmed
in the episode "Portable Toilet", where Rigby once again shows symptoms
of claustrophobia.

* **Strength** - Rigby is a very bad at arm wrestling and

Punchies. Even Pops can beat him at Punchies. Once he even tried to arm
wrestle with Skips (while secretly cheating), and Skips accidently
killed him. But Rigby has shown signs of getting stronger. In "The Night
 Owl", when Mordecai and Rigby get in a fight with Muscle Man and Hi
Five Ghost, he seems to handle himself. He has also carried people who
are heavier than him, like Muscle Man and Mordecai. In "The Best VHS in
the World", he also showed signs of strength by slapping Mordecai in the
 face, kicking in the groin, etc. Then again, this could have been due
to the events of Muscle Man's training in "Muscle Mentor". Also in "Do
Me a Solid" and "Karaoke Video", he can break a VHS tape with his knee
easily.

* **Bad​ Video Gamer** - Rigby has only ever won at video

gaming in a few episodes. This was first seen in "It's Time" when Rigby
beat Mordecai probably because Mordecai was too frustrated to play video
 games. This happens again in "Bet to Be Blonde" when the loser of a
video game has to face having blond hair for a week. Rigby cheats by
unplugging Mordecai's controller and covering his tracks with a sock. In
 "Temp Check", he possibly has the same skill level as Doug as they both
 defeated each other in a fighting game. This has also led to a problem
once in "Video Game Wizards" when Rigby keeps continuously pestering
Mordecai about entering him instead of Skips. In spite of these, he
seems to have beaten Mordecai in a game once in "Jinx" though it is most
 likely because of luck than skill. He was also the one to discover that
 The Hammer's weakness was furniture, in "Rage Against the TV".

* Allergy to **Eggs** - Rigby is extremely allergic to eggs,

as seen in "Eggscellent," where Rigby consumed so many eggs that he
actually went into a coma because of it. Though in other episodes, Rigby
 is shown eating eggs, and doesn't get in a coma. Although this may
because he ate so many eggs in "Eggscellent," or these eggs came from a
certain bird in particular. Or the eggs might have been infected and no
one knew.

* **Fearful** - Rigby gets frightened much more easily than

Mordecai, particularly during horror movies. In "Ello Gov'nor", it was
mentioned that Rigby once had to be walked to the bathroom every night
for a week, yet rented another horror movie in spite of this, incurring a
 string of hallucinations throughout the rest of the episode. In "Death
Bear," Rigby was the only one who ***wasn't*** afraid of going inside Death Bear's real cage, but it was probably because he thought Death Bear was just a myth.

* **Slacking Off** - Rigby and Mordecai both have a tendency

of slacking off from work, thus causing Benson to yell at them to stop
slacking off. This is seen in almost every episode, especially "Think
Positive."

* **Cleanliness** - Rigby has been shown to not bathe

regularly, as seen in "Limousine Lunchtime", because he said that he
uses rain to clean himself.

* **Gift Giving -** Rigby is known for giving terrible gifts.

 In Birthday Gift it shows that whenever he gets a birthday gift he
usually just get them for himself.

* **Geology** - Rigby has a exeptinal knowlege of rocks being

 able to light up an entire cave by finding Quartz and other rocks he
found in the dark.
