Character bio
A yellow-green squirrel with one yellow diamond shaped marking on his head and an addiction for candy or anything that is sugary. He has a big swirly lollipop, candy cane, small all-day sucker, and a candy apple stuck to his fur, which he even treats as his wardrobe, as evidenced in Chew Said A Mouthful episode. Although this often changes. From his debut in the episode, Nuttin' Wrong with Candy, the candy attached to his fur fell off, therefore Nutty was seen without candy stuck to him for the first time. The second time Nutty was seen without candy attached to him is in the beginning of the episode, Chew Said a Mouthful. One of his eyes resembles Googly eyes and the other bears a slight resemblance to Flippy's 'flipped-out' eyes. It's apparent that his googly eye is an amblyopia, or lazy eye, as it's almost always looking down and drops down whenever he looks somewhere else.

As a result of his huge sugar intake he is often hyperactive and jittery, and giggles more than he talks. He was first heard saying that he wishes for a scrumptious lollipop in As You Wish. One drop of sugar makes him go Tasmanian Devil. He also foams at the mouth when deprived of candy or any other sugar-related items. Nutty will do whatever it takes to get the sugar he wants. If he doesn't get what he wants he becomes very irate. Nutty will eat other types of food occasionally (like in Class Act, when he eats part of Sniffles' body, thinking it was a candy cane), but it's a very rare case. Whenever he gets to sleep without any sugar he ate, he'll feel very sleepy and tired as he was seen yawning and sleeping in late. He seems to lack common sense, which is evidenced in many episodes.

He is one of the few characters to have an account on the website MySpace where it mentions he has fourteen dental cavities. This is probably not helped the fact that he brushes his teeth with a lollipop and sherbet, and uses cola as mouthwash. He drinks coffee ground from jellybeans.

In the Second Serving DVD, he has his own breakfast cereal called "Sugar Frosted Nutty Honey", but there are hardly any cereal pieces in it - the picture only shows a large pile of sugar in the bowl. Nutty can be seen eating this cereal in Concrete Solution.

Nutty is usually featured in episodes which revolve around candy, except for Snip Snip Hooray and Eye Candy, where Toothy was used instead. It was rumored that when Eye Candy was made Nutty has been prominently featured in another episode, which was why that choice was made.

Nutty's eagerness of candy has often led to the demise of both himself and the other characters. However, it is his hyperactive personality that has made him another of the show's most memorable characters. Nutty cares more about candy than his friends. In Party Animal, it is seen that when Flaky ate one of the peanuts, he goes to help her, but he sees the candy and pushes her out of the way to eat the candy. In A Sucker For Love he tried to steal a lollipop from Cub. His deaths usually involve either his mouth, or getting impaled.

Nutty has a curled-up tail which moves when he's excited.
