Cuphead

## Image

Cuphead Is a Guy Who Works On Morshu Army

## Appearance

* Cupboy
* Cuphead, When MrDweller and FastToon gets Terminated From Youtube
* Cuphead Looking For Who Asked
1/3As his name suggests, Cuphead's head is a wide cup with milk inside, topped with a red and white striped straw. His face consists of eyes that are very close together with black pie-cut pupils, and a small red nose. He always has a determined expression in the face of danger.

He is mostly seen wearing a black, long-sleeve shirt, white gloves, red shorts (slightly similar to Mickey Mouse's iconic short overalls), and brown shoes. To emulate the way characters were drawn in the game’s time period, his coloring is inconsistent; he is sometimes depicted wearing red or yellow boots, and/or yellow gloves instead. As an anthropomorphic cup, he is a light gray cup and is made out of porcelain, so enough hits could kill him or break him.

His ghost still has the cup-like head and gloves, but his appearance is now a ghostly blue. His shorts and legs are now replaced with a ghost tail, his straw is now a halo, and his expression is that of melancholy. In the center of Cuphead's ghost's chest, there is a pink heart which can be parried to resurrect him. When used as a Super Art, his ghost is muscular and his expression is determined.

If the answer "Yes" is chosen in the cutscene with the Devil before his battle—triggering the bad ending—his appearance dramatically changes. His red colors change to purple and he now has a bitten straw and evil-looking yellow eyes with black and red pupils, a maniacal smile, and sharp teeth. In some artwork, he is also shown to have fire rising out of his head.

In The Cuphead Show!, Cuphead's appearance is the same, with a few differences. His colors are a little more duller, his gloves are always yellow, and his skin has a tannish tint to it.

Overall, Cuphead's appearance is reminiscent of character designs from classical 1930s cartoons, of which the game's art style is designed around.
