High Intellect: Nick is highly intelligent and cunning.Anthropomorphism: Along with all animals in a world without humans, Nick evolved to the point he walks on his back legs, uses human resources like technology, and partakes in human-related activities.Night Vision: As foxes are nocturnal, Nick can see in the dark.Animal Smell: Nick has an excellent sense of smell.Fox Physiology: Nick is an anthropomorphic fox.He also has a liking towards blueberries when he ate some that Judy got from her family's farm which he later commented how tasty they are. Nick has a fondness for coffee as he was seen drinking one after Mayor Lionheart's arrest. Nevertheless, he was unwilling to abandon Judy in these situations, against her wishes, and even before their relationship matured this would hint at Nick's selflessness before his true nature was revealed to Judy.

Contrast to this, Nick often goes into an immediate panic when in danger, becoming anxious, cowering in fear, and pessimistically jumping to the conclusion that he'll soon meet his demise, seen several times throughout the Otterton case. Even so, his laid-back nature makes him a quick forgiver, as his care for others ultimately overrides his occasional bitterness.Īs collected as he appears to be, Nick doesn't handle intense situations particularly well, compared to Judy (a trained officer, granted) who generally maintains her composure and takes charge of situations when things go haywire. Said anger was present when Judy publicly stated the feral disease to be due to the predators' biology, which caused Nick to feel betrayed towards their friendship when she had essentially reinforced prejudice of predators, foxes included. He is quite resentful towards those he held a personal trust towards, particularly the ones he personally believed to have accepted him. However, Nick's affection for Judy would also act as his weakness, bringing about his vulnerability and rendering him capable of becoming strongly affected by the viewpoints of someone else. Witnessing firsthand the trials and tribulations that Judy was wrongfully forced to endure while fighting to prove her worth on the police force, Nick became a firm supporter to the bunny, subsequently proving himself to be quite fearless and protective when it comes to those he cared about. Though he appeared to be uncaring to those around him, Nick was sympathetic towards those who experience prejudice, like he did in the past. These traits would ultimately play a crucial role in solving Zootopia's deadliest conspiracy and would lead Nick to understand that it is possible to become something more than you're stereotyped to be.

As a result of his past, Nick grew to be uncaring towards the opinions of other mammals, no matter how cruel, giving him a sense of strength and independence. He also maintained a strong sense of humor, as he often uses wisecracks as a coping mechanism when found in a troublesome situation. Nevertheless, he kept a somewhat positive aura by embracing and exploring his strong points, which were his wits, intelligence and ability to con practically everyone he came across. Unlike Judy, he viewed the world of Zootopia as an abysmal place, where dreams are nothing more than far-off fantasies, and those who strive to become something more than they're stereotyped to be, are simply wasting their time and energy. He nearly always has a sly smile on his face and seems unfazed throughout most of the events.ĭue to his troubled history, Nick grew to be cynical, devious and prejudiced himself, and due to the events, he developed a fear of muzzles and a dislike towards prey. A shifty, sly, and mischievous fox, traits supposedly common to all foxes, Nick is easygoing and slick, easily conning and tricking others through his charm and friendly demeanor for money. Nick is generally charismatic, sociable, street-smart, wise-cracking and highly cunning. He's also shown wearing police sunglasses. The sticker is removed after Judy's press conference when Nick feels hurt by her.Īfter Nick graduated into a police officer, his fox-size uniform is navy blue with sleeves, a peaked cap, a high collar and pants with a gold aiguillette and the ZPD insignia on his shoulders, along with having a black tie and a utility belt filled with various paraphernalia. While helping Judy during her investigation, he wears a junior ZPD badge sticker over the pocket of his shirt, originally a gift from Judy for Finnick before the latter humorously passed it onto Nick.

Nick professionally wears a light green Hawaiian shirt, a dark indigo necktie with red-and-blue stripes, and a pair of khaki pants. He has green eyes and a dark purple nose. He has dark auburn fur on his feet, his hands, the tips of his ears, and at the tip of his tail. He's covered in red fur with a cream underbelly up to his muzzle.
