Cushy

Cushy is a giant, green puppy who is adorable, cute, and lovable. The problem is that he is actually a Cù-Sìth (Gaelic for “Fairy Dog”), a ferocious species of fairy animal the size of a bull that roams the moors and woodlands of Scotland.

Cushy is a very infantile and innocent character who is unlikely to have any dialogue in his story, reinforcing the idea that he is little more than a baby puppy.

He is very playful and enthusiastic when he meets Sandy and Willow and simply wants to be their friend and have fun with them.

Due to Cushy’s infancy and naivety, he is completely unaware of the fact that his huge, fierce, and angry mother is searching for him and poses a threat to his new friends.

Whilst Cushy’s main influence is the real legend of the Cù-Sìth, his characterisation and story arc are also inspired by classic cartoons featuring animal characters, such as Tom and Jerry, Spike and Tyke, Looney Tunes, and Muppet Babies.
