“
The meanest bird in Bluff City.”
Rupert is an evil, angry bird. He was given his name by Doyle MacKaye.
He is a rare Andean Cock of the Rock and Motmot crossbreed, with red-orange feathers and sharp talons (“mostly claws and a beak”). He is also “much, much bigger than [you] thought [he] was going to be" (around the size of a large eagle).
He was previously owned by the Veranda family patriarch, but escaped during the events of "A Bowling Alley, A Boxer, and A Bird". Since that time, Rupert has caused destruction and chaos across Bluff City.
In "When Justice Is Done", he sported a tone-on-tone striped neckscarf and helped Grouse by attacking Sonny Veranda. When seen in "Extracurricular: Out Of Time", Rupert had a leash with a long chain attached to a jeweled collar. When he was unable to aid in battle he expressed regret to Grouse, suggesting he either feels some affection towards Grouse, or just wanted to engage in violence.
His only known weakness is that he cannot swim. He is yet to be recaptured, and it is unknown if such a thing is even possible.
