 **Snappy** is a character in *Turtle Man and DaPhantom*, a talking crocodile who found the Amulet of Souls from within the Manic Mage’s remains and took it for himself. He became a recurring character who held a merit of importance throughout Season 8.

## Appearance

Snappy is a small, light green coloured crocodile with several scales as well as 4 legs - the front two legs he often uses as arms. He has a snout with two nostrils and a set of pointy teeth, two black eyes with white pupils and he has some eyebrows above his head. On the top of his body there is a literal zip which, if zipped open, will reveal literally nothing inside of him at all.

## Background

Absolutely nothing is known about the past or history of Snappy at all - he just randomly appeared one day near The City of Nexus and was sometimes seen wandering about. However, he often stops random people on the street to tell them about how he used to live in a completely different place with talking objects like highlighters and rubbers. Officer M. is the only person who ever really heard him out and was interested in what he had to say, even if he still thought it didn’t make much sense. He continued to occasionally be spotted roaming parts of the city and doing strange things for a while.

Snappy had entered a nearby cave filled with lava just hours after the Manic Mage was pushed into it and burnt, and found her bones floating above it. He decided to grab the bones to gnaw at them and enjoyed it, grabbing more bones until he found the Amulet of Souls. Mistaking it for a frisbee, he decided to run off with it but accidentally tripped whilst holding the Amulet and it stole Officer Jones’ soul. He then released it by accident as well and continued to run off since he wanted to play with the “frisbee,” but then was spotted by Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. who were getting ready for a nearby snow race. Whilst the former two didn’t know who he was, Officer M. recognised Snappy and tried to take the Amulet of Souls off of him since it was a serious threat. In response, he got a bite to the hand and Snappy dug away; the three decided to leave him for now as they thought that he probably wouldn’t know how to cause any serious harm with it. A few days later, Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. headed to the local swamp in search of Snappy because they needed the Amulet of Souls back from him due to it’s immense power. They passed by two of his relatives and after completing one of the relative’s three trials he revealed to them that Snappy was just right behind them the whole time. Still not wanting to give up the frisbee, Officer M. tries to bribe him using money and Turtle Man’s stupid talk but this doesn’t work and just causes Snappy to run away with it. When they catch him after having traversed back through the cave and tackle him, they find that he was actually just holding a cardboard replica of the amulet that he made for fun; the real amulet was mentioned to be left in a faraway place called the Farlands. Much to the guys’ annoyance, they don’t let Snappy come along with them on the trip to try and retrieve it, leaving him alone in his cave once again.

Snappy had also attended the wedding of Doctor M. and Katie, doing several things to help them out such as handing out thousands of invitations, making a cake and also acting as the priest but he wasn’t that good at any of it. He also met the main trio and seemed to not care about the “frisbee” or Amulet of Souls anymore, instead more focused on other stuff. Later on, he had followed Victor to the faraway forest since he saw The Devourer flying and assumed he was up to no good, and helped the group in their searches through the Manic Mage’s home village to find out more about the origins of the Amulet of Souls as well as trying to fight in the Soul War. He showed up in the Halloween Special when they trio and Llama passed through his home swamp whilst following a trail of ectoplasm to the Soul Witch’s house; he didn’t really help at all and just told them about some fish he caught.

## Personality and Relationships

Snappy is a rather incompetent and somewhat dumb crocodile who doesn’t even think once before acting, which can often lead him into a lot of trouble or strange situations. There is little he actually seems to know about and he commonly doesn’t seem to even understand what he or other people are talking about and misinterprets things commonly. His stupidity can even cause harm or annoyance for other people; however there is no hostile intent in what he does, and all the danger that he brings seems to be by complete accident instead of on purpose. He also enjoys eating a lot and carrying things in his mouth, causing him to often eat things that are not supposed to be consumed. Snappy speaks very often and quite loudly, as well as with a deep and croaky voice which makes it hard for many people to even listen to him without getting annoyed.

Snappy doesn’t have any known friends, but he always talks about how in his old home he used to be friends with people like tall highlighters and a girl called substitution. However, most people who hear this just assume that he is speaking complete nonsense as usual. When the three heroes went to visit him in the local swamp there were some members of his family revealed - both of them were protecting him from outsiders in his cave. There was a huge red crocodile named Snappy 2 who seemed to be much stronger but just as dumb as him, and also a wise old crocodile named Snappus the Third who made the three complete three trials to find Snappy, only for him to tell them that he was behind them the whole time.

## Abilities

Snappy doesn’t really have any special powers or abilities at all, but his scales are extremely tough and were able to resist even one of Officer M’s bullets as well as reflecting it away. His teeth are also very sharp so when he bites it hurts a lot, and he is able to run fast and dig away if threatened or needing to get somewhere.

## Trivia

* Snappy originates from *Weirdmaggedon*, another show of similar likeness to *Turtle Man and DaPhantom* in which Max did with one of his friends. In this show, Snappy was a talking crocodile pencil case from Smiggles, whose existence dated back long before the show was even made.
