Fungus

Fungus is a fanon character of Happy Tree Friends.

Character Bio
He is a brown-green skunk with messy fur. He is well known for his love of garbage - he sleeps in a trash can and eats thrown-away food, though his favorite food is day-old pizza.

He carries a bad smell which usually makes other characters sick and occasionally vomit when he passes by. He is often seen with waving green stink lines above him, which disappear and reappear frequently. Fungus sometimes uses his odour as an advantage (as seen in Bank You Very Much, where he sprayed to clear space and avoid waiting in line). He never takes a bath due to his fear of water.

He doesn't seem to have many friends because of his smell, with the exceptions of Lumpy and Rotty (Lumpy is stupid and Rotty is dirty like him). Josh can be friends with him sometimes. He also has a crush on Petunia, though she hates him because of how unsanitary he is. But that doesn't stop him from making "efforts". The closest he came to winning Petunia's heart was in Cologne Again, where he gave up his filthy ways to impress her. Petunia gave him a kiss, causing him to spray his odor back and ruin everything.

He dies in most episodes he appears in, but survives in The Smell of Love, Nail White Part 1, A History Be Known, One Last Crusade (debatably), Bottling it Up Inside, Hot Rot (debatably), Oh the Memories!, The Big Save, Shell Shocked, Catch That Bus, and Not-so-Happy Holidays.

Trivia

 * Petunia and Fungus are both skunks, however, they are polar opposites (Petunia is neat and clean whereas Fungus is filthy and messy).
 * Fungus may be just as stupid (if not more stupid) than Lumpy.
 * The season 1 promotional poster for Fungus did not have a circle on his belly. This was fixed in later posters.
 * According to a fact, Fungus was originally meant to be either Petunia's brother or cousin. It was later decided he would be someone with a crush on her.
 * Petunia is his most frequent victim.
