**Mishap** is a bean who keeps a rattlesnake as a pet and gets his left eye bitten by it.

## About

"Mishap decided to keep a rattlesnake as a pet. It was never going to be an easy relationship. The game of fetch never really caught on. And neither did the afternoon hose bath. It all came to a head when Mishap offered his rattlesnake mustard on a hot dog. Everyone knows snakes only like onions. It ended in tears."

— Dumb Ways to Die™: Crazy Chronicles Activity Journal

## Appearance

Mishap is a dull green bean with a capsule body and has an orange rattlesnake clinging onto his left eye.

He and the rattlesnake looked more brownish in the promo poster.

In his newer appearances, he may be seen with a lime-colored body instead of dull green.

## In the videos

### *Dumb Ways to Die*

Mishap is seen holding a hot dog, and then the rattlesnake bites his eye, causing him to fall backward.

During the chorus, he is a Secondary Dancer.

### *Trump Ways to Die*

After the wall collapses into Trump, Mishap appears and pokes Trump's eyeball out with the American flag. He is a Standard Dancer in the chorus, usally being a Secondary Dancer in the original music video.

### *Dumb Ways to Die 3: World Tour*

Mishap accidently hits a rattlesnake with his hammer (which as why his hat was covering his eyes), making it angry. As Mishap lifts up his hat and sees the rattlesnake , he tries to calm it down, but because of that, the rattlesnake bites Mishap's eye again, causing him to fall off the sphinx's nose and onto the ground, causing the sphinx's nose to fall off and crushes Mishap's body.

As part of the update, he has a new game. The player has to spread butter on a pan. If the pan is successfully covered, a piece of bacon will be placed onto the pan, and Mishap will give it to the snake, who eats it. If this not done successfully, the snake will latch onto Mishap's eye again.

#### Death is like a box of chocolates

##### Can't be unlocked at this point of time

He has a Valentines' Day mini-game whereas the player has to put the chocolates in a heart-shaped box.
