Shifty

Shifty and his brother Lifty are two green kleptomaniac raccoon identical twin brothers with dark green mask-like markings around their eyes. They frequently steal merchandise and produce from the other Happy Tree Friends (thus their names). They also hunt for treasure, ransack houses, or do anything to get rich quick. They mostly steal from Lumpy (in *Meat Me for Lunch* they steal meat from Lumpy's deli mart, in *Milkin' It* they steal a cow from Lumpy's farm, in *Concrete Solution* they steal his wallet, and in *Junk in the Trunk* they abduct his pet elephant). They probably rob Lumpy so frequently because his lack of intelligence and common sense makes him an easy target and how Lumpy is shown to be quite wealthy.

Although they have the same gender, appearance, and personality, Shifty wears a fedora and often bosses Lifty around. Despite the smirks on their faces, they almost always end up dying in the episodes in which they appear. They also have a trademark evil snicker (usually a different one for later episodes). Like most siblings, Shifty argues with his brother about who is at fault it is when something goes wrong, but when trouble is afoot, they work together. Shifty has been known to betray Lifty at some points, as seen in *Milkin' It* when Shifty threw Lifty out of a hot air balloon as not to get caught by a power line. Also, in *Sea What I Found*, Shifty had a chance to save Lifty, but instead just stole the jewels. In *Easy For You to Sleigh*, he abandons Lifty when the latter gets caught in a trap.

Despite their disagreements, they show brotherly love towards each other in some episodes, including *The Wrong Side of the Tracks*, in which they are paired up together while riding on Lumpy's theme park roller coaster, *Sea What I Found*, in which they play chess together while waiting underwater, *As You Wish*, in which they hug each other happily (first when being saved from falling to their deaths, then when having their wishes granted), and *Gems the Breaks*, in which they glance at each other lovingly while testing the kryptonut on Splendid.

Despite their numerous illegal activities, they sometimes contribute to recreational activities (such as going on a roller coaster and participating in a Christmas play) without causing any trouble. On rare occasions they earn cash honestly and have even been heroic, such as in *Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark*, where they provide a life raft to help the characters escape from an island.

Both have proved to be physically capable, as they lift an elephant (with Cuddles' help) in *Junk in the Trunk*, lift a cow effortlessly in *Milkin' It*, and physically overpower Giggles and Petunia in *Gems the Breaks*. While Shifty is known to boss Lifty around, Shifty is overpowered by Lifty in *Who's to Flame?*.

In the internet series, Lifty and Shifty do not appear as often as other characters. However, Lifty and Shifty had a good number of starring roles in the TV Series, having the third highest number (behind Lumpy and Sniffles). Generally, both Lifty and Shifty are featured rather frequently in the TV series.

Lifty & Shifty occasionally make money by themselves without stealing, like when they sell dogs that go crazy when they hear a whistle in *Doggone It* and when they sell bottles of hair growth formula to Disco Bear in *Easy Comb, Easy Go*. They also trade or sell things to Nutty, such as in *Dunce Upon a Time* and the *False Alarm episode* (although it could be that these were stolen prior to the episode).

Lifty & Shifty die a lot due to their lack of teamwork and their greed. Like Cuddles, Petunia, Lumpy, and Sniffles, they tend to die some of the messiest deaths in the series. When they do, their deaths involve machines/vehicles, being mashed together or sliced apart, impalement, or some form of heat. In the internet shorts, Lifty & Shifty die in every episode they appear in. In the TV series, they survive in *Ipso Fatso*, *Concrete Solution*, and *Easy Comb, Easy Go*. They both survive in *Happy New Year*. It is also possible that they survive in *Happy Trails Pt. 1*, as they are on the island with the surviving characters in part 2, but are not seen in part 1. He is the only character who die in every episode that he has a starring role in.

He and Lifty both seem to have an unusual desire for meat, as can be seen in *Meat Me for Lunch*, *Ipso Fatso*, *And the Kitchen Sink*, *Milkin' It*, *Dunce Upon a Time*, and their TV series title card. This at least makes more sense than Lumpy's love of meat, since real-life raccoons (unlike moose) do eat meat. They also have a knack for car building, being able to assemble/reassemble a car in *Junk in the Trunk* and maintaining their own race car in *Wheelin' and Dealin'*.Shifty and his brother Lifty are two green kleptomaniac raccoon identical twin brothers with dark green mask-like markings around their eyes.
