Cuddles is one of the main characters of Happy Tree Friends, and is the main protagonist in the show, along with Giggles, Toothy, and Lumpy. He is considered the original Happy Tree Friends character and also the show's unofficial mascot, despite Shifty being created first. He's also a playable character in Deadeye Derby. Cuddles is a yellow rabbit with pink cheeks who inexplicably wears Pink Bunny Slippers. His white curly hair tuft and cotton tail look exactly the same.
