Splendid the Flying Squirrel, also known as Splendid the Flying Squirrel Boy, is a character from the web series Happy Tree Friends and its prequel series Ka-Pow. He was voiced by David Winn, who also voiced Lumpy the Moose.

Description[]

Splendid is an anthropomorphic cyan blue male flying squirrel wearing a red eye mask similar to that of Raphael's red eye mask from TMNT franchise. Despite serving as a superhero, he isn't a very competent one. His ignorance and stupidity usually ends up killing the characters he tries to rescue or he makes things worse. He is usually unaware of the destruction he has caused.

Unlike most characters of the show, Splendid rarely gets injured or killed. Only in one episode "Gems the Breaks" did have his confirmed death. His death was caused by Kryptonut, his first and only weakness that he permanently destroyed. While he usually kills others accidentally, he has occasionally caused others to die on purpose. On his spare time, he does leisurely activities, such as knitting and baking. He seems to find being a superhero a pain in the neck.

Splendid has become very popular as a superhero in the show, as he is admired by many characters, most notably Sniffles and Toothy. He also goes against the villains, such Lifty and Shifty, as well as Splendont, his evil counterpart who only appeared in Ka-Pow.
