Official Description Nick Wilde is a charming, small-time, con artist fox with a big mouth and a lot of opinions. He often works and splits the day's earnings with Finnick. Big turned Nick away, threatening to kill him if they ever met again.īy the start of the film, Nick appears to be well-off, claiming to have made $200 on a daily basis since the age of twelve (though the accuracy of these claims is questionable). However, Nick later took advantage of Big's trust by selling him a very expensive wool rug secretly made from the fur of a skunk's rear end. Big liked and trusted the fox, welcoming him into his home and even introducing him to his beloved grandmother, whose cannoli they dined on when Mr. Big, a feared arctic shrew crime boss, developing a stable partnership with him. Īt some point during his status as a con artist, Nick fell in with Mr. Though the two were initially rival con-artists, they became best friends and business partners at adulthood. During his teenage years, Nick was sent to juvenile detention, where he met a quick-tempered fennec fox named Finnick. From that moment forward, Nick vowed to never expose his true vulnerability to others, resulting in the fox presenting himself as stoic and unflappable.Īs another result of this experience, Nick declared that if the world viewed foxes as nothing more than vile and untrustworthy scoundrels, he should not only accept it but embrace it, subsequently doing so by becoming a successful con artist. After running outside to escape his tormentors, Nick broke down in tears, developing a triggering fear of muzzles and dislike towards prey and specist mammals. The "initiation" turned out to be a cruel prank and Nick was ridiculed, shoved to the ground and muzzled by the other scouts for being a fox (as foxes are considered among the vilest and most untrustworthy species of mammals in the Zootopia world). Though he was the only predator there, Nick attended his initiation with confidence and zeal, but unknowingly walked into a trap. When he was eight or nine years old, his mother scraped up enough money to buy a brand new scout uniform, allowing him the opportunity to join the division. As a child, Nick had a dream of joining the local Junior Ranger Scouts, for the goal of receiving genuine acceptance. Nick came from a poor background living with his mother (his father is never seen or mentioned).
