> **Hawt Saus**, Episode 12, In his very first scene

**Hawt Saus** is an original character and an antagonist in Chikn Nuggit. He debuted November 4th, 2020 and is voiced by Nick Butera. Hawt Saus serves as the main antagonist in the Chikn Nuggit series.

Hawt Saus is an obnoxious, mean-spirited red squirrel who likes making snarky comments at the other characters' (and his own) expense.

In Episode 359, it is revealed that Hawt Saus is genuinely lonely. He is also hurt by Sody's honesty when the red panda called him "unpleasant", but claims to be more normal than the rest of the characters.

## Appearance

Hawt Saus is a red squirrel with a white belly that stretches to form a stripe on his tail. The red hood-like marking on his head doubles as a set of eyebrows, similarly to those of rubberhose-styled characters. He has black sclera with white pupils. There are three short claws on the tips of his hands and feet.

## Overview

Despite Chikn Nuggit saying they're minor friends, he appears to be the only character in the series to be genuinely mean-spirited, as shown in episode 12 when he makes Cheezborger cry by calling her and Chikn "dumpster fires", and in Episode 98 where he replies to Fwench Fwy's kind offer for a free wish with a hostile command to be left alone. However, in newer episodes he seems to have become a bit nicer, after realizing Chikn Nuggit and his pals find him unpleasant.

## Food Name Origin

His name is Hawt Saus, a misspelling of Hot Sauce.

## Relationships

### Chikn Nuggit

Chikn doesn’t seem to mind Hawt Saus, however he is very protective over Chee, and doesn’t want anyone hurting her feelings. So when Hawt Saus called her a dumpster fire, Chikn got very protective of her and tried to get Hawt Saus to apologize to her by strangling him. But in more recent episodes, Hawt Saus and Chikn seem to have gotten closer, and they are nicer to each other.

### Cheezborger

Chee doesn’t mind Hawt Saus being around, but she gets easily upset by his jerk tendencies.

### Iscream

He was curious about what gender Iscream is along with Fwench Fwy. Iscream simply responded that they are "The Unfathomable Demonic Void of Perpetual Agony", which left him speechless. In Episode 379, he freaked out at the sight of Iscream's demonic way of eating a cupcake. Apparently, he is shown to be quite scared of the demonic rabbit.

### Fwench Fwy

Fwench Fwy enjoys messing with Hawt Saus, especially when he tries insulting them.

### Sody Pop

Although there was no interaction between the two in Episode 337, Hawt Saus thought it was amusing when Sody cussed at the Comic-Con interview. But in Episode 359, Hawt Saus asked why nobody wants to hang around with him, Sody truthfully said that he is unpleasant to be around. What Sody simply implied made Hawt Saus feel very hurt, sad, and overall lonely, and protested that he is more normal than Sody and the rest of his friends. In Episode 488, he is seen with Sody Pop trying to make small talk with him. From asking why he's with Slushi all the time, and then asking if his mom Sassparilla is single. Which ultimately led Sody to call the police on him just like what he did to Iscream.
