"Oh, man!"
-Swiper's catchphrase.
Swiper is a fox and the main antagonist in the television series. He has a great interest in swiping anything.
He can only be stopped if you say "Swiper, no swiping!" three times.
Appearance[]
Swiper is a orange fox who lives at Blueberry Hill. He has orange fur, and an orange tail. He also wears a blue mask over his eyes, and blue gloves on his hands.
Personality[]
Most of the time, Swiper is shown to very sneaky. You'll know he's near when you hear his ominous "whisking" sound is always audible just prior to his appearances. Swiper can be stopped most of the time, and he often snaps his fingers saying, "Oh, man!", before leaving. But on some occasions, he can be successful and swipes someone's things saying, "You're too late!", and then he hides it saying, "You'll never find it now!" and runs off. However, despite Swiper's sneakiness, he has shown to have a good side in them, and occasionally helps everyone. This is shown when he helps Baby Fox get back to the fox hole, and when he rescues his grandma's pie from the big wind. This proves that Swiper isn't a true villain. He's just sneaky and he tends to reveal his good side on some episodes. Thus, his role is more that of a mischievous antagonist who means no real harm to anyone.
