## Personality

When angered, Tricky tends to be incredibly ruthless, attempting to kill on contact. However, when not angered, Tricky tends to have a more goofy personality, as a result of his clown nature. He also appears to love hotdogs, judging by his anger after having a hotdog disintegrated. Due to the aforementioned fact, it can be assumed that Tricky tends to get angry at people for random reasons.

## History

### Cuphead vs. Tricky

Tricky is first seen selling hotdogs. After the hotdog he's holding in his hand disintegrates, Tricky looks at his empty hand in shock, and then stares at Cuphead angrily. He then jumps down to Cuphead, pulls out his signature stop sign, and smacks Cuphead's head 90 degrees, only to have his mask broken, and parts of his face blown off, falling down a cliff shortly thereafter.

However, after Cuphead overheats out of his Nightmare form, Tricky, in his demonic form, rises again. Now looking for a fight, he roars at Cuphead, before starting the boss battle.

Tricky first starts idling, and then proceeds to start punching the ground. After that, he returns to normal for a short period, before moving backward, and then appearing behind Cuphead, scaring the latter. Tricky then proceeds to get down on the ground and breathe a beam of fire horizontally across the screen. Tricky idles some more, and starts punching the ground again. Tricky then proceeds to spit out multiple fireballs, all of which explode upon hitting the ground. Tricky then proceeds to breathe fire, leaving patches of fire on the ground, with the exception of a few select spots. He endures some shooting, and then proceeds to shoot even more fireballs, before returning to his fire beam attack, in which he shoots the beam across the entire screen, rotating his head so that it is rare to find a part of the screen not engulfed in fire, with the only safe part being right under his head. Tricky then proceeds to shoot more fireballs, one of which hits Cuphead.

After Hank comes to Cuphead's side, Tricky endures even more shooting. Tricky proceeds to punch the ground even more, with these punches emitting fireballs. Tricky follows this act up by shooting more fireballs, which explode into four smaller fireballs. Tricky then shoots out fireballs in columns of three, some of which Cuphead or Hank can parry. Tricky then shoots out the screen-engulfing fire beam, destroying one of Hank's guns in the process. Tricky then breathes fire across the ground, being defeated shortly afterwards.

### Nightmare Bendy vs. Nightmare Sans

Tricky, in his demonic form, is seen roaring as explosion particles appear around him. He then returns to his original form, albeit heavily damaged. He then falls to the ground, nearly dead.
