The Cursed Idol is a dark gold statuette that serves as a reappearing object in the Happy Tree Friends universe. It is based on the fertility idol from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. It brings death or severe injuries to those who are near it or making anyone succumb as well from whoever stands in their way. Most of the time the deaths are instant, but on a couple of occasions a character and the Idol are near each other for a while before the character dies (such as Idol Curiosity and Hello Dolly). The Idol can take form or summon a sentient crack in the ground to attempt to kill those who have stolen the idol, as seen in Idol Curiosity.
