Hopper is a ruthless, violent, cunning, manipulative, and egotistical dictator who thinks nothing of killing ants, whom he considers lower than dirt. He dislikes being thought of as weak in any way which could be why he abuses everyone around him; he specifically expresses wanting to be powerful in acting like he believes grasshoppers are better than ants in every way, saying that ants were put on Earth to serve them, and having most of the people in his gang serve him as well.
