Click [here] to return to the characters page.

## General

Little Bangs, or just "Bangs", serve as the police in *The Story*, appearing whenever somebody breaks the law. While the original Little Bang was just FlamDawg in a costume, there are actually hundreds of different Little Bangs that specialize in a particular element or field, such as a Water Bang with the power of water or a No-Cellphone Bang who specializes in confiscating phones. Much like Pokémon, they can be captured using "Capture Tickets" and trained for use in battle. While not seen quite as often, several Bang Battles are held over the years to settle a variety of disputes. Whether enforcing the law or fighting in turn-based RPG combat, Little Bangs strive to uphold truth and justice wherever they go.

## Personality

Little Bangs are diligent police officers who always work hard to stop the rise of crime in the humble town of GreenGrove. While each different type has its own unique quirks, they all share the same goal of stomping out crime and tossing litterers behind bars where they belong. They pride themselves on their swift reaction time to any given situation, showing up mere seconds after any given law is broken. Each Little Bang has their own theme song that accompanies them as they appear, letting the bad guys know that there's no chance of escape because justice has already arrived. There are times where they might appear incompetent, but that's just because they often fail when trying to apprehend Zack Hakton due to his Hacking and general cheating. Despite this, they tend to go after him a lot in the hopes that he will one day be apprehend-able.

## Appearance

Little Bangs come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, though the main Bangs all look like FlamDawg wearing a police uniform, being an orange dog of the same height. They wear a blue long-sleeve uniform with yellow hems, pants, and a matching hat. Stars decorate the middle of the shirt, sleeves, and hat. When it comes to other Bangs, they generally have a fur color that matches their typing or specialty, such as Ice Bangs being blue and Rock Bangs being brown. Their uniform follows this same color pattern and the stars are replaced with their unique symbol, such as an ice cube or a rock.

## History

Little Bang was first seen at the beginning of the beach arc in Season 1. Here, it was simply FlamDawg dressed as a police officer. He walked up to Nathan and demanded answers for some random things he had said earlier in the act. Nathan explained everything, but FlamDawg told him he had failed and gave him a ticket. When the ticket fell on the floor after he walked away, he immediately came back, claimed Nathan was littering, and wrote him another. From here, Policeman FlamDawg appeared a few more times to deal with littering and revealed that his cop name was "Little Bang". As the Season went on, Little Bangs started appearing elsewhere until they became their own thing separate from FlamDawg. At one point, Zack set off on his own quest to become a Bang Trainer, capturing various Little Bangs in Capture Tickets and using them in Bang Battles. Little Bangs were very prevalent the entire Season, though this trend reached its apex at the end of the year when the characters ventured into the U.O.O.B.W.A.L.J.L.T.E.T. Building in Mirror City and stumbled upon a room filled entirely with Little Bangs of all shapes, sizes, and colors. The goal here was to collect a talisman from every Little Bang, but sadly they only got so far before the Season ended and the entire quest was scrapped.

From then on, Little Bangs have appeared all over throughout the different Seasons, though as time went on they appeared less and less frequently. Eventually, they shifted from being a more unique type of side character to simply being the generic police in any given situation. Some burst into the house to arrest Amber when going to the gym becomes illegal in Season 3, a squadron attempt to arrest Zack when he destroys the movie theater in Season 4, and one can be found patrolling the aisles of the Everything Store in Season 5. Several unique Little Bangs make an appearance in Season 5 during *Frozen Slushball* while FlamDawg is venturing through the Deep Ice Tunnel. After Zack swings in on a wrecking ball made out of pants and abandons it, several Little Bangs like an Ice Bang and a No Wrecking Ball Bang write him tickets for various violations.

## List of Little Bangs

Below is a full list of every kind of Little Bang that has appeared over the course of the novel.

* **Anime Bang -** A standard Little Bang that has become devoted to Japanese animation and serves under King Anime Bang. They live in Anime Castle and do not like outsiders, whom they dub "normies". Speaking of dubs, subs are better! [Season 2, Chapter 23]
* **Bag-Check Bang -** A Little Bang responsible for conducting bag inspections when a customer selects the "I brought my own bag" option at a grocery store. Should they violate bag laws by selecting the option when they do not have their own bag on their person, he will immediately arrest them and lock them in a prison cell full of bags until they learn their lesson. [Season 2, Chapter 22]
* **Bone Bang -**
* **Carbon Bang -** A Little Bang based on the element of carbon. They have gray fur and wear a black uniform with orange accents. Somewhat similar to Rock Bangs, Carbon Bangs can control the carbon in the earth and pull it out to use it in various ways. In battle, they can be seen hurling large chunks of it at their foes. Geologists adore Carbon Bangs for their ability to help them further study the interesting element. [Season 3, Chapter 28]
* **Dark Juice Bang -** A Little Bang comprised entirely of dark, dubious juice. Something of an evil entity, he was spawned from the malicious Kokiko juice and is forever loyal to his dark master. The juice that he can fire from his paws is fatal if consumed, though there is no way to distinguish it from normal juice. This was the signature Little Bang of Chimera Amber, who attacked Nathan and the others in Season 3. [Season 3, Chapter 28]
* **EleBang -** A Little Bang with the power of electricity. They have yellow fur and wear a gray uniform emblazoned with lightning bolts. One of the purest elemental Little Bangs, EleBangs have the power to generate electricity inside their bodies and shock enemies with high-voltage blasts. While they can be tough to catch and train, they are invaluable for powering various devices with their unlimited electricity output. As such, they can often be seen working at power plants and other locations that require a great deal of electricity. [Season 3, Chapter 24]
* **German Bang -**
* **Glitch Bang -** A bizarre Little Bang that resulted from the mass of data that later became the Glitch Show. This Little Bang has incorrectly-textured fur and a bright purple uniform, making him easily identifiable amidst all the other weird things going on. He patrols the ever-shifting studio of the Glitch Show on the hunt for lawbreakers. Despite being a mashed-together clump of broken data, he's just as diligent as any normal Little Bang. [Season 2, Chapter 44]
* **Ground-It Bang -** A Little Bang that prefers things stay on the ground where they belong. The sheer thought of flying cars is enough to send him into a ticket-writing frenzy. [Season 2, Chapter 27]
* **Hack Bang -**
* **Heartbreak Bang -** A Little Bang that specializes in breaking hearts. He's not some kind of womanizer or pretty boy, he just screams hurtful things at women until their hearts break and they start crying. If the heartbreak turns into anger, he makes a run for it. He can dish out heartbreak but can't take it! [Season 2, Chapter 13]
* **Hey Bang -** A Little Bang who makes frequent use of the word "hey", either through shouting, greeting, or as a replacement for more vulgar phrases. [Season 2, Chapter 34]
* **Info Bang -** A Little Bang that is very knowledgeable. He knows about all sorts of things and often pops up when something important needs explaining. When he runs out of things to explain to a person he's grown attached to, he runs away crying. [Season 2, Chapter 58]
* **Mall Security Bang -** A Little Bang hired as security at the Shoreline Mall. While they are no different in appearance from a normal Little Bang, you can tell them apart because Mall Security Bangs have different badges. They uphold justice and integrity in order to enforce the rules of the mall and often appear in groups to better deal with any lawbreakers. [Season 3, Chapter 37]
* **Moustache Bang -** A Little Bang that sports an impressive mustache. He upholds all laws relating to facial hair and will appear immediately if a mustache is ever disrespected. In case you're wondering, his mustache is a whopping level 5. [Season 2, Chapter 32]
* **New-Age Bang -** A Little Bang that has been upgraded for the new millennium. He wears sleek, futuristic armor that is entirely black save for the glowing streaks of green energy that flow throughout. Aside from looking absurdly cool, appearing in flashes of light, and enforcing ultra-specific government laws of the future, he is no different from an ordinary Little Bang in terms of skills and abilities. [Season 2, Chapter 54]
* **PlaTrap Bang -** A Little Bang based off of a carnivorous plant. They have jade green fur, a forest green uniform, and are covered in poisonous spines. Due to their dangerous nature, these Little Bangs are exclusively used for battling and can be found roaming around areas with harsh conditions such as the desert near Raktor Ridge. Handle with care- those spines are sharp! [Season 3, Chapter 24]
* **Pixel Bang -**
* **Poison Bang -** A Little Bang with the power of poison. They have purple fur and wear a black uniform with gold accents. These Little Bangs can fire corrosive, poisonous substances from their paws and mouth that are capable of melting through reinforced steel. Due to their dangerous nature, these Little Bangs are used exclusively for battling and can be found around swamps all over the region. They're not dangerous to the touch, though, so they can sometimes be found assisting in construction and demolition projects. [Season 3, Chapter 24]
* **Sky Bang -** A Little Bang with the power of the wind and clouds. They are sky blue in color with a darker blue uniform that has white accents. In addition, their ears and tail are white and resemble fluffy clouds. Sky Bangs assault their foes with strong gusts of wind and are capable of creating clouds to attack, ensnare, and disorient their opponents. These Little Bangs are most useful in double battles as their clouds can be combined with the elements of other Little Bangs such as water, electricity, and ice to make them even more deadly. While Sky Bangs are naturally lightweight and floaty, they sadly cannot fly. [Season 3, Chapter 28]
* **Void Bang** - A Little Bang with godlike powers. He channels the White Void to grant him abilities far beyond that of a normal Little Bang, such as teleportation, being able to immobilize enemies, and various light-based attacks that are absurdly powerful. These Little Bangs are fast and completely invincible, making them the ultimate authority capable of catching even Zack Hakton. This might be why they make up the Author's personal security force. [Season 3, Chapter 47]

## Trivia

* The name Little Bang comes from the original Chibi-Robo video game. At one point in the main story, aliens are encountered and one of them is named "Little Bang".
* In the event that a normal Little Bang breaks the law, a second Little Bang will appear to write him a ticket. This Little Bang is known internally as a "2nd Bang" and has a different colored outfit consisting of a yellow uniform with red hems and blue pants.
