The Cursed Idol

Name:The Cursed Idol Gender:None Episode: 9 Kill Count:21+ First Appearance: "Crazy Antics" First Victim: Toothy from "Treasure These Idol Moments!"

The Cursed Idol is a recuring character in the Happy Tree Friends universe. It is based on the fertility idol from "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark". It brings death to those who are near it. Most of the time the deaths are instant, but on a couple of occasions a character and the Idol are near each other for a while before the character dies (such as Idol Curiosity, Hello Dolly). Occasionally, the Idol can be seen in the background of certain episodes, not directly causing characters' deaths yet still foreshadowing what is to come (e.g., Class Act, Every Litter Bit Hurts, Wipe Out, etc.). The deaths that the Idol causes are mostly the fault of machinery malfunctioning, but in Idol Curiosity when Sniffles took the Idol, a huge crack in the ground began chasing after him. It also makes objects suddenly appear out of nowhere (eg. boulders, icebergs), causes animals to fall from the sky, and turns normal sand into quicksand.

 * The Idol is based of the fertility idol from "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The boulder which fell from the top of a swingset and crushed Cub in Treasure These Idol Moments could have also been a nod to the movie.)
