Truffles

Truffles is the losing main character in the Vote or Die poll. While technically not a main character, there is a possibility that he will have larger roles in future episodes. For now, his numerous cameo appearances seem to serve as a regular gag.

Character Bio
Truffles is a grey-blue boar. He has a pig snout, tusks, hooves, a unique ear shape, and a twisted tail. He also wears sailor-like clothing.

He was one of the two candidates for being the new Happy Tree Friends character, but he lost to the other candidate, Lammy. However, despite losing, he still makes a very brief cameo in Lammy's debut episode A Bit of a Pickle and some episodes afterward. It is possible he may be introduced in a future episode. His biggest appearance yet is in Clause For Concern, where he is seen unhidden for the first time, moving his body, and showing a new facial expression: a smile. This could be further evidence that he may become a main character in the future. Another piece of evidence might be that he has officially been seen dead, in All in Vein and later in By The Seat Of Your Pants.

Truffles is implied to have a spoiled brat-type personality. This was first hinted by his default grumpy-looking face and an image of him blowing a raspberry, indicating that he may be short-tempered or rude. One of his concept sketches describes him as a "little brat" and "always trying to one up" (do better than other people).

Truffles got around 70,000 votes while Lammy & Mr. Pickles got around 100,000 votes. Truffles himself has made more episode appearances than Lammy and Mr. Pickles, despite the fact they were the physical contest winners. Nonetheless, the combined screen time of Lammy and Mr. Pickles far exceed that of Truffles.

Trivia

 * Had he won Vote Or Die, he could have been the third main character to lack the usual nose style (along with Lumpy and Sniffles). Coincidentally, all three characters are blue.
 * While Truffles' nose is distinctly heart-shaped, it is larger, more rounded, and purplish in color as opposed to other noses. It also has visible nostrils.
 * His name most likely comes from the fact that pigs are sometimes used to find truffles (a type of mushroom which is expensive and valuable, another hint indicating that this character may be rich).
 * He appears to have a unique body structure in terms of Happy Tree Friends. He has a different nose, lacks buck teeth, does not appear to have opposable thumbs, has unique ears, and a unique tail.
 * He is one of the three pig characters in Happy Tree Friends, the other two being Char Sui from Three Courses of Death, and the Pig Child from Mole in the City.
 * Right now, Mondo Media is not telling the fans what they are planning to do with him. There is a possibility that he will be introduced as a character in a future episode, or that his role of hiding somewhere could become a regular gag in episodes. Kenn Navarro has said: Anyway, as for what we'll be doing with Truffles... I'm not actually quite sure yet. So, I can't tell you fans one way or the other.
 * Despite being recently added to the show and being a minor character, he has already been killed by Lumpy, Evil Flippy, Petunia (debatable), and Splendid (debatable).
 * Due to his numerous cameos, some fans believe that Truffles is a stalker.
 * Even though Truffles lost against Lammy and Mr. Pickels, he has appeared in more episodes than they are.
 * Truffles may have been based on the Disney character Donald Duck, as both wear sailor-like clothing. Donald Duck is also noted to be short-tempered, a possible personality trait of Truffles, and both are farm animals.
 * He, Lammy, and Mr. Pickels are the only characters who have not served as a first victim to anyone. In all cases, this is because of their late arrival.
 * Unless a new character is added in the future or either Lammy or Mr. Pickles is Truffles' first victim, this will never change, as everyone else has already had their first victim.
 * He makes two appearances in the Stealing the Spotlight Blurb.
 * Truffles has made a cameo in every episode between A Bit of a Pickle and Buns of Steal. In later episodes, he appears a bit less often.
 * Probably Truffles' most popular appearance to date is a video which involves him dancing to the Korean pop single "Gangnam Style". However, this does not count as an actual appearance, as the video was not created by Mondo. He later appears again in a video of Disco Bear made by the same person.
 * Lumpy and Fliqpy (and possibly Splendid, Petunia, and Lammy) are the only characters to have killed Truffles off-screen so far. He has yet to die an on-screen death.
 * If he were to become part of the main cast, he would be the second main character not to star in his debut episode. The first is Cro-Marmot.
 * However, he lost to Lammy and Mr. Pickels, so this cannot possibly happen right now. It is possible that he will get a more reprised role in the future.
 * His hidden "appearances" could have been inspired by The G-Man from the video game franchise Half-Life, as both characters appear in some situations but do not (seem to have any) impact(s) on the storyline, and are not known to interact with major characters.
 * He does not appear in either Pet Peeve or A Vicious Cycle (the winners of the Video Bomb Competition take his place).
