Changes: Generic Tree Friends

Revision as of 16:57, 29 November 2016

Overview

The Generic Tree Friends are, as their name says, a couple of background characters, who usually serve as an audience watching a film, a theater play, etc. However, they were used as another types of crowds, such as a crowd of zombies, people who are at the amusement park, etc.

Character Bio

They are both used in masses when needed as large audiences or occasionally killed in masses. Generic Tree Friends are not colored the usual colors; they are usually shadowed, but their eyes, nose, and mouth can sometimes be seen. Most of them resemble bears, but they can resemble a variety of animals. Some can be anteaters, some can be moles or chipmunks or whatever.

In Splendid's SSSSSuper Squad, they appear as a blue gerbil/bear, a green cat, and a yellow dog. Only three are shown at a time, though they appear constantly throughout the episode. These Generic Tree Friends are also the only ones with different shapes.

Trivia

Sometimes it is debatable whether a main character died or if it was just a generic tree friend due to similar appearances. Lumpy and Cro-Marmot are the only two main characters who can't be mistaken for Generic Tree Friends due to their appearances.
Because of his appearance, Toothy is often mistaken for a Generic Tree Friend, especially if he is in the distance or driving a vehicle when he dies.
Mime is the only character to directly acknowledge a Generic Tree Friend, as seen in Class Act.
In the episode Out of Sight, Out of Mime, there is what appears to be a Generic Tree Friend's ghost as Mime walks up to The Mole's house.
In early episodes, the Generic Tree Friends were colored. Furthermore, these colors were various shades of light blues, pinks and yellows. In later episodes (including current ones), their coloring has changed to a very dark shade of purple or black, depending on the episode.
The Mole, Lumpy, Fliqpy, Nutty, Toothy, Mime, Splendont, Splendid, Pop, Cub, Giggles, Flaky, Lifty, Shifty, Sniffles, Petunia, and Cuddles are the only characters who have killed a Generic Tree Friend.
- In addition to that Handy, Disco Bear, Russell, Cro-Marmot, Flippy, Lammy and Mr. Pickels are the only characters who have yet to kill a Generic Tree Friend.
