## Physical Appearance

Rick is an orange and white colored hamster. He seems to wear light pink shoes as well.

## Personality

Rick is quite helpful towards anybody. Despite not knowing who Jirachi was, she offered to help her with finding an Energy Sphere. This shows that he is glad to help any stranger in need.

He also befriends anybody very quickly because of his cheerful and nice attitude. However, Rick can be quite lazy and can sometimes fall asleep a bunch of times. Despite his laziness, he is still determined to help anyone in need. Especially his friends.

## History

### Background

Not much is known about Rick's background. The only thing that is known about it is that Rick used to be one of the earlier animals along with Kine and Coo.

### Season 2

Rick is sleeping in his house until he is woken up by Kine and Coo. They all come up with the idea to hang out at Random Forest and they all go there. While Rick and the others are relaxing, a baby Rovakiath falls near them. Rick reacts surprised by this and the trio wonder what to do about this. Rick soon comes to the realization that the baby bird lost his mother. Rick offers to help the bird out and the trio set off on their journey to find the bird's mother.

While they are venturing through the forest, Rick stumbles upon an Energy Sphere. Rick begins to remember the sphere and describes it to Kine and Coo. Rick comes up with an idea to bring the sphere with them so nobody evil can obtain it. Before Rick and the others can continue their mission, they are interrupted by Grizmo (a member of S.U.C.K.S.) After Grizmo threatens the trio, Rick then tries to hit Grizmo but underestimates his strength. Grizmo taunts Rick as he even kicks him sending Rick flying.

When Grizmo is being close to his defeat, Rick uses his fire breathing at him which harms Grizmo. After his defeat, Rick and the others thank Fox McCloud, Box Boxer, and Phan Phan for saving them. During this, Peep manages to find his mother which makes Rick happy. Rick and the trio say their goodbyes to Peep. Fox McCloud then asks Rick if he could have the Energy Sphere to power up his ship. Rick agrees to give it to them as a gratitude for saving them. After the trio says their goodbyes to Fox, they all decide to play a game of "Scoopers". *(Friends with a Hamster)*

## Powers and Abilities

Rick has shown a few of his powers and abilities in Milky Star Nightmares. While some aren't the strongest, others give him an advantage in certain situations.

* **Heavy Sleeping:** Rick is an incredibly heavy sleeper. He has managed to sleep for days as Coo describes his sleeping. Though this ability doesn't benefit Rick in combat, it benefits him in health as he doesn't seem to be too affected with too much sleep.
* **Simple Punch:** This is simply Rick punching anything. The punch's effect depends on the target's strength.
* **Fire Breathing:** One of Rick's many powerful moves. Rick is able to breath out fire from his mouth. His fire breathing can burst through almost anything.

## Trivia

* Rick along with Kine and Coo were originally going to have their debut in episode 12.
* Rick's voice changes throughout Milky Star Nightmares. It goes from a voice similar to Kirby's and it soon changes into an Australian accent based off the anime.
