Fliqpy

Character Bio Fliqpy designs Evil Flippy, also known as Fliqpy, is Flippy's violent alter ego and the main antagonist in the Happy Tree Friends series (he also appears in its spinoff miniseries Ka-Pow!). He is considered one of the most popular characters of the series. However, Fliqpy's appearances are rare, to keep his behavior from becoming repetitive. According to writer Warren Graff, Fliqpy is based on John Rambo. Fliqpy fought in the Weaponized Animal Regiment (W.A.R.), and he is obsessed with making booby traps inspired by the Viet Cong. In addition, his attire resembles that of the U.S. Army Special Forces, which played a role during the Vietnam War. The stripes on said uniform show that, despite his obvious trauma starting when he was a private, he managed to reach the rank of sergeant. He can also fly a helicopter, as shown in Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow. While serving in the W.A.R., Flippy suffered trauma from seeing the deaths of those with whom he served. Since then, he has developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is unknown whether Flippy has been discharged from the Army, he is on leave, or the war has ended. Episodes where he appears usually begin with him as Flippy, but he will be exposed to something that reminds him of warfare, he will 'flip out' - hence his name - and kill anyone around him. Flippy has no memory of anything he does during his 'flip-outs'. In the episode Double Whammy, Flippy sought professional help and defeated his evil self in Part 2. For a while fans believed Fliqpy was gone for good, but his flip-out in the short On My Mind dispelled the rumors and it has not been a one-off incident. Fliqpy always carries a bowie knife and multiple grenades but often improvises his weapons from everyday objects or uses Viet-Cong-style booby traps. He has the second highest kill count in the series, beaten only by Lumpy with over 300 kills. However, he has the highest average kill-count at 6 per episode, and no other character in the series intentionally murder other characters as much as Fliqpy does.

It was confirmed on Twitter on November 30th, 2015[1] that Fliqpy is acting under the delusion that he is still in the war and does not realize that he is killing innocent people, making it difficult to consider him genuinely evil. However he is very rarely shown having actual flash-backs and it is unknown if Fliqpy would act the same way if he knew his victims were innocent civilians, not enemy soldiers.

STV1E13 The infamous Flippy vs Fliqpy episode.

In Double Whammy Part I and Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II), he appears as a separate entity. In Double Whammy Part I, he appears at the end where he dive tackles Flippy. In Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II), he fights Flippy throughout the episode and eventually captures and tortures Flippy. It is revealed during the fight that Fliqpy wasn't physically there and that the events of the episodes were really just Flippy attacking himself. At the end, an army of Flippys and Fliqpys fight each other, the only survivor being Flippy (who is hit by a truck soon afterwards).

Since Autopsy Turvy and Operation: Tiger Bomb revealed that Fliqpy is a different character from Flippy, their actions and consequences are only caused by the one controlling the body at the time, meaning that Flippy isn't entirely to blame for the murders. Like his counterpart, Fliqpy rarely dies, but when he does his deaths usually involve vehicles and explosions.
