Character Bio
A nerdy blue-gray anteater who is one of the more intelligent characters in the series. He's the second character without a heart nose and a pair of buckteeth. He usually likes doing and reading science and maths. To reinforce the 'nerd' image that Sniffles exudes, he is seen dressed up as a Star Trek character (probably Spock, the Vulcan ears being the giveaway) in "Remains to be Seen" and also carries pens in a pocket protector on his chest.

Sniffles' IQ has proved to be extremely high in both the internet and TV series. He has built things which are far more advanced than most of the other characters, including a rocket from a bus and even a time machine. However, sometimes these devices can malfunction and work against him, leading to his own death. Like Toothy, he has a wide range of deaths, usually involving either his tongue, his head, his limbs, or his organs. He also has a multitude of jobs, including a doctor and a pilot.

Sniffles also has a craving for ants, which is one of his animal instincts. However, whenever he tries to eat one, they kill him, after torturing him in the most sadistic manners first. Only in the episode "Blast from the Past" has Sniffles eaten an ant without being killed. In general, Sniffles' deaths are slower and more painful than most of the other characters. "Tongue in Cheek" had to be his worst and longest death, even leading to him crying because of how painful it was. Very few characters cry when dying, as their deaths are shorter (although it is debatable whether they are less painful). Similar to Cub, Sniffles rarely survives in the episodes he appears in. The only episodes that he survived are "Happy Trails" (Not Happy Trails Part Two: Jumping the Shark), "See What Develops", "Wipe Out!", "Easy Comb, Easy Go","Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow" and "We're Scrooged".

His mouth and nose are combined to make one big trunk, the end of it resembles the lips and it used to be long in the Internet shorts. But later in the TV series, it became much shorter. The reason for the decreased length was to add additional cuteness to his appearance.

Sniffles' home appears to be a lab, as seen in "I've Got You Under My Skin", "Blast From The Past", "A Sight For Sore Eyes" and "Tongue In Cheek" episodes.

From the episode, "A Sight For Sore Eyes", Sniffles' eyes were shortly seen when he took them off just to see the Mole ran into him.

It is worth noting that Sniffles, although not one of the four center characters (Lumpy, Cuddles, Giggles, Toothy), is beginning to become more of a main character. He has the second most starring roles in the TV series at a total of 6 starring roles next to Lumpy, who has 16. He has also had a total of 17 starrings if you add up his starrings in TV and internet episodes.

In the "Collect Them All section", Sniffles has a few allergies and he loves calculating long divisions.

He has a MySpace account that shows that his idols are Albert Einstein, Spock, William Shatner and Splendid. Sniffles is the second character to idolize Splendid as well as Toothy does.
