[edit] Major Characters
[edit] Conker the Squirrel
The protagonist Conker is a greedy, heavy drinking, red squirrel. Conker though highly materialistic and never afraid to insult, he always approaches new characters with a positive outlook. Conker's adventures occur because he gets drunk and wanders in the opposite direction to his home. He is voiced by Chris Seavor
[edit] Berri
Berri is Conker's girlfriend, she began as a small squirrel the same approximate size as Conker in Conker's Pocket Tales but since Conker's Bad Fur Day she has been tall (at least twice Conker's height, probably plastic surgery), thin and curvaceous. Conker and Berri form a close relationship, though she is frustrated by his regular drinking. She seems to be a hooker due to an advertisement in Live & Reloaded for sex and an appearance as a cover girl for "Fur Only" magazine. Berri gets abducted by a rock man to dance at a nightclub. Conker saves her, but the Bouncer takes him to the mafia boss Don Weaso. Berri oddly doesn't believe that the "caveman" is Conker and leaves. She later appears in a Trinity outfit working for Weaso. Conker joins her in robbing the Feral Reserve Bank, a spoof of The Matrix. Afterwards they encounter the Panther King, who had Weaso double-cross them. He then orders Weaso to kill Berri, who dies in Conker's arms. Berri is portrayed as a ditzy, stereotypical valley girl with entirely pink possessions and a naive but no-nonsense attitude. She (or at least, a beta version of her from Twelve Tails) makes a minor cameo in Banjo-Kazooie; a bunk bed in a cabin in Rusty Bucket Bay has a poster of her hanging above it. She is voiced by Louise Ridgeway
[edit] Squirrel High Command
The Squirrel High Command (the SHC) are a faction of squirrels at war with the Tediz. They were featured in the Nintendo 64 original version, Conker's Bad Fur Day, but they were simply referred to as "The Squirrels". The Squirrel High Command are portrayed as heroic, representing the Allied forces of WWII, fighting against the evil Nazi Tediz. The SHC "recruit" Conker by knocking him out and putting him on a boat similar to the landing craft of the Battle of Normandy.
[edit] Tediz
The Tediz are a group of soldiers under the command of Von Kripelspac. They are made to resemble Teddy Bears. According to the game Conker's Bad Fur Day, teddy bear soldiers were first used in an unspecified "Milk War" 300 years previously, but were soon decommissioned due to their flimsy design and flammable stuffing. The Tediz are at war with the SHC, though neither game specifies why. In Bad Fur Day, a new version of the teddy bear soldiers is created by a germanic technophile weasel scientist named Professor Von Kripelspak, who christens them the Tediz; originally simply teddy bears with guns filled with stuffing, but in the Xbox remake, Live & Reloaded, they are made to resemble WWII Nazi troops with blood. Later they are also shown to be robotic underneath (the Machine Tediz), reference to the second Terminator film, though they still bleed. The Tediz' voices were by Chris Seavor, Chris Marlow, Louise Ridgeway, Fred Tatiscore & Duncan Botwood
[edit] Professor Von Kripelspac
Von Kripelspac is a weasel scientist who worked for the Panther King. He is in a hovering chair (a high-tech supplement for a wheelchair), has no legs but crudely bandaged stumps, has a robotic eye and arm for reasons unknown. Although Bad Fur Day suggests that his legs were chopped off by the Panther King, Live & Reloaded shows that an SHC soldier fires a bazooka at his legs. He was the leader of the Tediz and dressed up like Dr. Strangelove, until all his Tediz were killed and said injury above. After his war with the SHC he worked for the Panther King, who threatned him the "duct tape", as an inventor and general problem solver. Kripelspac appears to have various inventions including anti-gravity chocolate, however these are sidelined to fix the Panther King's coffee table. He was later killed when the airlock to the ship he was in was opened, which sucked him out being because he was in space. This event was caused by Conker. In Bad Fur Day, he was only known as the Professor, but he later, in Live & Reloaded, donned the name Von Kripelspac. He was voiced by Fred Tatiscore
[edit] Fabled (Fairy) Panther King
The Panther King is the arch-villain in the popular Nintendo 64 video game Conker's Bad Fur Day. The king orders Von Kripelspac to fix his table and when Kripelspac calculates that the perfect fit would be a red squirrel he sends out his guards to capture Conker merely to use as a replacement table leg. During the Milk Wars, the Panther King gained control by overthrowing and cutting the legs off the weasel king and banishing squirrels from the kingdom. Towards the end of his reign, the scientist planted an alien egg inside the king and its birth killed him. His corpse was sucked into space through the airlock that Conker opens. Years later, in a war between the SHC and the Tediz, the squirrels went to an ancient base, hoping to get an ancient weapon, but instead found the Panther King's tomb. The body was gone, with the Tediz resurrecting it. There are two endings. If the SHC win, they destroy the Panther King's body so he won't get resurrected. If the Tediz win, the Panther King is successfully resurrected, instantly demanding milk. He was voiced by Chris Marlow
[edit] Bosses
The following are bosses in Conker games.
[edit] Haybot
The Haybot is a character in Conker's Bad Fur Day who resembles a Haystack creatures with arms and eyes, but under the hay is a robot with an Austrian accent. The Haybot is a spoof of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator, with a red view for targeting and responding in conversation, the accent, red eye showing and the hay burning away to reveal a metal skeleton. The Haybot also uses a shoulder-mounted missile named Suzi 9 mm, a parody of the Uzi 9 mm. He was voiced by Fred Tatiscore
[edit] The Boiler
The Boiler, described by Conker as a "bourgeois big-bollocked boiler", is found in Bat's Tower. When all but two of the Fire Imps have been extinguished, the pair that remain jump into the boiler and turn it on, where it is revealed to be sentient, and sports a British accent and a pompous attitude. One of the Fire Imps, at his companion's urging, presses a button that reveals an oversized pair of brass testicles, to show the boiler is up to the task of beating Conker. The boiler has a tendency to charge at Conker, and if that fails, it uses its grill as a flamethrower. Conker dumps sludge on it to stun it, then cracks its testicles with bricks and, eventually, his saucepan, knocking them clean off. The boiler collapses and, in their haste to escape, the Fire Imps accidentally set off a self-destruct mechanism.
[edit] Great Mighty Poo
The Great Mighty Poo (aka Sloprano & Chucky Poo) is a boss from the Rare game Conker's Bad Fur Day. He appears as a giant mound of poo with a huge, flapping mouth full of yellow corn teeth, two tiny green eyes and two stubby arms with which he flings lumps of poo at Conker. Through the battle he sings a 'Sloprano' like an opera singer in a loud baritone voice. He was voiced by Chris Marlow(making him the only character in the game with a seperate voice actor all the others share one of two.)
[edit] Buga the Knut
Buga the Knut is a huge, obese Uga Buga who seems to be something of a Caesar-like figure. He appears in the Uga arena where he orders people to be fed to Fangy, a dinosaur. He spends much of his time bragging to his girlfriend, Jugga, about his allegedly-large penis. After Conker tames Fangy and kills several Uga troops, Jugga remarks that Conker must have a larger penis, and Buga enters in the arena in a fury to destroy Conker. Conker immediately uses Fangy to defeat him, first by biting his crotch, and then tearing chunks out of his buttocks. Soon Buga drops his loincloth and is unable to conceal the fact that his penis is in fact tiny. In humiliation, he breaks out of the arena and disappears.
[edit] Count Batula
Count Batula (also known as Count Conkula) is a character in Conker's Bad Fur Day & Conker: Live & Reloaded. He is the stereotype of a vampire and can transform into a bat. Much of his introductory cutscene is a parody of Dracula. When Conker enters his mansion, he greets Conker and gives him food and wine (despite Conker's remarks). When the villagers storm his mansion, Count Batula reveals that he was going to kill Conker and drink his blood, but decides instead to turn him into a Vampire bat. After figuring out that Conker is his great, great, great, great, great grandson, he sends him to grab villagers and put them in a giant grinder. After drinking too much blood, he falls into the grinder and is killed. He was voiced by Chris Seavor
[edit] The Experiment/Little Girl
The Experiment is a Tediz experiment consisting of a giant Tedi torso with a mechanical abdomen and legs. Attached to the end of one arm is a a Little Girl (a grey squirrel with blonde hair). As the little girl says, "I'm the brains and the eyes, and he's the brawn", indicating that she is in charge of the body. The Experiment has several disproportionate weapons including two miniguns, two missile launchers, two lasers and a circular saw attached to his other hand. The Little Girl deceives Conker, he thinks she is an innocent child but when he tries to "rescue" her (with reward money in mind), she reveals the rest of her being and the Giant Tedi emmerges from the floor. They are finally defeated by Conker using a tank to shoot the red opening on the Tedi's back. The little girl survives however and starts a countdown on an explosive. The little girl parodies The Exorcist when revealing her true nature, her eyes turn green and her head slowly rotates.
[edit] Heinrich
Heinrich is an Alien (Xenomorph) from the Alien film series. His incubation took place inside the Panther King and was placed there by Von Kripelspac who treats Heinrich like a pet, patting and praising him. Despite being an Alien, Heinrich only kills one character, the Panther King (as he bursts from his chest). Conker fights Heinrich as a spoof of Aliens where Ripley fights the Alien Queen; Conker dons a large, yellow, metal suit with clamps for hands and does battle with Heinrich. Heinrich is thrown out an airlock. Heinrich is killed by Conker however in the "throne-room" with a Katana after the game "locks-up" and Conker bargains with some programmers.
[edit] Minor Characters
[edit] Gregg the Grim Reaper
Gregg plays the part of The Grim Reaper in the Nintendo 64 game, "Conker's Bad Fur Day" and its remake, the Xbox game, "Conker: Live and Reloaded"
Gregg is a colourful character, who first appears when the player character dies. He explains the life system to Conker, and drops him back into the world of the living. Gregg later appears at the beginning of the Spooky chapter, and aids Conker by giving him the shotgun.
Gregg is a "diminutive" reaper, and has a coarse mouth, which makes him a fan favorite. He hates cats, as they have nine lives and each take forever for him to catch and claim. He also hates Zombies as they are "Un-Bloody-Dead! Whats The Bloody Point?" He was voiced by Duncan Botwood
[edit] Dung Beetles
The Dung Beetles inhabit poo mountain where the Great Mighty Poo is found, speaking in heavy Liverpudlian accents. One Dung Beetle works the cabin where the poo balls are made by cows; the Dung Beetle processes the poo and makes it into balls for people. They are only seen in the first part of the game and in the Poo Mountain chapters. The Great Mighty Poo kills at least two of them, named Bazza and Tezza. The beetles were voiced by Louise Ridgeway & Duncan Botwood
[edit] Von Weasol
The weasel crime boss Von Weasol is a mix of every mob boss stereotype, from Italian mafia dons to standard mob bosses. His first cutscene shows him having a meeting with a handful of employees while receiving a massage from Berri. He proceeds to beat to death one of his men who "showed no respect" with a baseball bat in front of Conker, who had been caught taking money from the Rock Solid nightclub, which is revealed to belong to Von Weasol. The mob boss offers Conker a job to pay off the debt, which Conker accepts: he sends Conker with a bomb to get rid of the cavemen, and advises him to leave town afterwards. Conker runs into him again later outside the Feral Reserve Bank, where he sends in both Conker and Berri to steal him some money. However, the job is a set-up, and the vault houses the Panther King, who gives the Von a bounty for delivering Conker. The Von is last seen running from the scene after Heinrich is born. He was voiced by Louise Ridgeway
In Bad Fur Day, Von Weasol also appeared in the Heist variant of Multiplayer, in which he is again conducting a robbery of the Feral Reserve Bank, although the layout is much different. The opening cutscene heavily parodies Reservoir Dogs, as much of his dialogue is identical to Joe Cabot's.
[edit] Birdy
Birdy is a drunk, sarcastic, hay scarecrow who acts as the tutor for Conker and the player. He is a parody of the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz and is the first character the player interacts with. Birdy teaches the controls and abilities in the game, later asking for Mepsi Pax but instead accepts ten dollars. Mepsi Pax is a joke reference to the popular cola flavoured drink Pepsi Max.The quote comes early in the game, when Conker finds himself blocked by a gang of dung beetles and Birdy comes along to help him. His instruction on "Context Sensitive Zones" allows Conker to get past the dung beetles:
Birdy: "Right, you need manual. Otherwise… No. doesn’t work. It’ll cost you!" Conker: "How much?" Birdy: "Eh, got any Mepsi Pax?" Conker: "What?" Birdy: "Dont matter... actually eh, I think uh, well em, ten dollars Long time. You love manual long time."
Conker pays Birdy for his help but the money escapes Birdy's pocket and "jumps" its way back to Conker. Birdy was voiced by Chris Marlow
[edit] Rodent
Another recruit of the SHC, Rodent is discovered by Conker in the Tediz Base tied up to be executed by firing squad. Conker releases him, and Rodent aids him throughout the struggle. His special suit is indestructible, and so he volunteers to literally act as a human shield for Conker. When the pair come across a tank, he studies it eagerly, and remains inside it for some time while Conker drives it. He is aware that there is something wrong with the Little Girl somehow, warning Conker to stay away. After the battle with The Experiment, the Little Girl releases some spider mines that destroy the tank. Conker believes Rodent has perished in the blast and is forced to leave his body behind as he flees from the fortress. Rodent survives, however, and regains consciousness just as the fortress explodes. Thanks to his suit, he survives this too. The surviving SHC watch him go flying overhead and cheer him. Conker later finds him emerging from the windmill, which he has destroyed by flying straight into it. Rodent has by this point developed a hero-worship of Conker, and although Conker thanks him and they appear to part amicably, Conker then reveals that he thinks Rodent is an idiot. Rodent is also present at the throne room at the end. He was voiced by Chris Seavor
[edit] Franky the Pitchfork
Franky is a pitchfork found in the titular barn in Barn Boys. Initially he is an antagonist, as, at the urging of his companions the paint pot and brush, he attacks Conker. After Conker defeats him through guilt, the pitchfork goes back to his supposed friends who, far from comforting him, tell him to kill himself. In despair, he attempts to hang himself from the rafters of the barn, to the glee of the pot and brush. Conker soon cuts him down and, out of gratitude, Franky aids him in defeating the Haybot, both in the barn and in the basement, which all three fall into after the Haybot destroys the floor. After the Haybot is defeated, Franky finds he has been split in half, and Conker tapes him back together. The basement then begins to flood, and Franky immediately disappears, leaving Conker to defend himself. Franky does not reappear until the throne room at the end. He was voiced by Fred Tatiscore
[edit] Fangy the Raptor
Fangy is a dinosaur of undisclosed species, though labelled as a dromeaosaurid of some kind. He appears only once, in the Uga Buga arena, where his primal savage tendencies are showcased as entertainment for the cavemen. He attacks anything that moves when he is released, regardless of species. For some undisclosed reason he is already fitted with reins, which Conker makes use of: he hypnotises the dinosaur and then uses him as a steed, riding around on him and attacking the various cavemen, including the huge Buga the Nut. Initially hostile towards Conker, Fangy eventually grows attached to him. After defeating Buga, Conker decides to pay a visit to the similarly huge, though nowhere near as fat, girlfriend of Buga, appropriately named Jugga. When he tries to leave, Fangy follows him like a loyal dog. Conker uses a bone from a dead Uga to send the dinosaur back into his holding pen, and the drawbridge is raised behind him.
[edit] Lizard Monk
Lizard monks are seen in Barn Boys and Uga Buga only. Also in the opening cutscene, Conker leaves the Cock and Plucker pub and vomits on one, being drunk. It hisses at him and Conker apologizes, walking into the Panther Kingdom. They read an engraving on a stone and while they tend to hiss at anything, they are harmless. When Conker jumps onto one of their stones, they flip him off the stone onto a high ledge. Only one monk is killed, when the baby raptor jumps out of its egg and lands on it. They appear the same in both games.
[edit] Armored Imps
Green Imps wearing armor. There are three types. Barrel Imps that are only in Conker: Live & Reloaded that are weak and easily killed. Metal Imps, which cannot be killed in Bad Fur Day and are in a few places. In Live & Reloaded, they are roaming the same places as Bad Fur Day but they are replaced with Black Armored Imps, which can't be killed.
[edit] Fire Imps
Fire Imps are come across once in the "Bat Tower" chapter as they dance around trying to burn Conker. They look like the armoured imps without armour, and red/orange with flames on their backs. The Imps are drunk and smoking cigars when Conker walks in to the room, they proceed to chase him giggling manicly. Fire Imps are immune to physical beatings (as Conker soon realises) and they are harmed by Conker urinating on them. They were voiced by Chris Seavor & Chris Marlow
[edit] Possessed Dolls
Only in Live & Reloaded, Possessed Dolls are present in a spot in Barn Boys and in Spooky. They are clay dolls, and act like zombies, but can can be killed with a baseball bat or a shotgun.
[edit] Bomb Imps
Bomb Imps are the only imps that is not an enemy, they are more like the key to come further in its war.
[edit] Zombies
Zombies are encountered in the Spooky chapter. They can only be killed by blowing their heads off with the shotgun. Their legs can be blown off to force them to crawl.
