Iggy the Iguana (born Ignacio Ignacios Igaaloocio III[1]) is the secondary tritagonist of the Skippy Shorts franchise. He is a French-Mexican-accented lizard who is Cop's best friend, partner in crime, and sidekick.
Description[]
Personality[]
Iggy is just as corrupt, energetic, crazy, loud, and generic as Cop is, if not quite as trigger-happy and dim-witted. He has a naughty side as he has a tendency to poke fun at Cop's mother and her unusual mustache, much to his extreme irritation and anger.
Biography[]
Occasionally, Iggy insults Cop's mother's mustache and sometimes teases him about it, which provokes the Cop and leads up to a fight between them. Despite these feuds, the duo remain best friends.
In "Finney's Story #2 - Dragon," Iggy played the role of the dragon named Frank. Fireman Zeus, who had set out to defeat the fire-breathing dragon, noticed his appearance and realized that he wasn't fierce-looking after all; so he teases Iggy by roughly poking him in the eye, which hurts him. Zeus begs a now-angered Iggy not to eat him and when he tells him to give him a good reason, Zeus says because he doesn't taste like chicken. Then he tells Iggy he isn't even a dragon, but a lizard; however, Iggy protests that he is a dragon. This leads to a short argument and at one point, when Fireman Zeus says, "Dragon!", Iggy says, "Dragon!" as well, so Zeus corrects him by saying he's supposed to say, "Lizard!" when he [Zeus] says, "Dragon!"; so they try again and Iggy finally admits that he's a fierce lizard and proceeds to threaten to breathe fire all over Fireman Zeus, bite off his toes one by one, throw him in a volcano, stir him around, and call him soup.
As a puppet[]
Iggy is a Folkmanis iguana puppet. His lime green arm socket behind his legs is controlled by a puppeteer to control him.
Trivia[]
- Iggy can be considered an anti-hero as some of his personality is negative, just like Cop.
- Despite his appearance as an iguana, Iggy is always referred to as a lizard.
