**Peter Griffin** is a notorious troublemaker and resident of Quahog, Rhode Island, known for his obnoxious mannerisms and low intelligence. He is married to Lois Griffin, with whom he raises three children and a talking dog. He regularly hangs out at the Drunken Clam local bar with his friends Glenn Quagmire, Joe Swanson and Cleveland Brown and engages in several activities with them. Peter regularly considers the consequences of his actions, which he normally does for personal gain, which results in all sorts of moderate-scale disasters for himself and those around him.

Peter originates from the 1999 animated sitcom Family Guy, and his home stage is Griffin House.

## Fighter Info

### Basics

Peter is a heavyweight footsie character who is frequently cited as one of the most annoying characters in *Invictus Maneo*, primarily owed to his cartoonish ability to cancel out any attack hitbox provided he himself is attacking. He is also absurdly fast despite his size and hits like a truck.

Peter's basic moves are largely derived from his scuffles with arch-rival Ernie the Giant Chicken, where he repeatedly punches and kicks him while bashing his head against the environment they're in at the moment. In *Invictus Maneo*, environmental objects will occasionally erect from the background or right in front of Peter when he's attacking, giving him a spot to bash his foe's head or body against. Many of Peter's attacks aren't designed to kill his foes but instead viciously combo them so he can rack up much damage. Peter's main kill move is his dash attack, where he will dive bomb his foe and somersault with them before launching them at an extreme horizontal angle, but his oversized heavy tilt attacks work well as alternatives. Peter's grab game is one of the best in the game, with his pummel being the overall strongest in the cast.

Peter's high weight and gravity makes it easy to trap him in the air, however, which makes him vulnerable to chain-grabbing at early percents. He additionally lacks a reliable projectile weapon and his size makes him very easy to hit. He also deals with more lag than most fighters do.

### Specials

* **Special A: Roadhouse**
Peter immediately turns his body around and comes back with a roundhouse kick, flooring his foe in an instant. It deals very little damage but can chain into itself very reliably and allows for a lot of guaranteed combos if it lands. It has very short range, however, with the foe needing to be right next to him.
* **Special B: Surfin' Bird**
Peter suddenly performs his iconic dance to the 1960s surf rock song "Surfin' Bird" by the Trashmen, which plays at a volume that doesn't overwhelm the current music. Its invisible barrier reverses and pushes foes away from Peter because it's considered annoying by all characters, though its range is pretty short.
* **Special C: Petercopter**
Peter summons his Petercopter vehicle, having Cleveland fly it for him while he holds onto the legs of the vehicle. Eventually Peter's weight will drag the machine down, and when it crashes, it will spin around violently as its lethal blades cause (harmless) debris to fly about. It will disappear after a few seconds.
* **Special D: Nuclear Blast**
Over time, Peter will try to flick a lighter on, filling a Propane Meter near his stamina gauge. Once it's full, Peter will turn around, flick the lighter on, and let his "moon" shine before wafting against the resulting flame, sending a huge atomic beam across the stage that can KO even heavyweights rather early.
* **Showstopper: X, Look Out!**
Peter will enter his family vehicle and attempt to rush through a target. If successful, the target(s) will land down on a road, with Stewie Griffin advising them to look out before Peter comes back in the vehicle, running them over while doing his signature laugh, causing them to get launched rather far.
