Mosquito

Mosquito is an original member of Coon and Friends. He made his debut appearance in the Season Fourteen episode, "Coon 2: Hindsight".

Background

In "The Coon", many people saw Clyde as a possible candidate for the identity of Mysterion in the episode. He was shown sleeping in class the day Cartman gave his speech in class, possibly from playing Mysterion, but the next day it is implied this is Mysterion's first appearance. However, all of the children were bored of Cartman's lecture on the Coon, so it served as an illusion. Cartman did accuse Mysterion of being Clyde, making him one of the possible candidates.

In the episode "Coon 2: Hindsight" he is present with the rest of the boys in Coon and Friends watching the rise of Cthulhu on television, before showing the now dressed-up heroes leaving, confirming him as one of them - in that episode, the candidates were effectively narrowed down to Clyde and Kenny.

In "Mysterion Rises", however, it is revealed that Clyde is in fact Mosquito, the hero who was easily beaten up by Cartman in "Coon 2: Hindsight", with the aid of the element of surprise. Mosquito was often yelled at by Cartman for various reasons, so he was evidently not one of the more steadfast heroes.

Appearance

Mosquito wears an alternate look of Clyde's normal outfit: a dark blue turtleneck, brown pants, black shoes, and a brown toque with dark red stripes, with various additions to make him look more like his namesake. A red vuvuzela is strapped over his nose to mimic a mosquito's mouth part (proboscis), and four wings (presumably made from cardboard) are taped to the back of his sweater. He also wears red gloves and a grey belt over his chest, with the latter featuring a small pouch and several packets of ketchup (simulating blood).

Background

Mosquito sided with Coon and Friends in the civil war, he was formerly introduced during the mission Mosquito in a Honey Pot, and was an available combat buddy from then on.

On the first day, he suggested going to Raisins to "see if the waitresses know anything". Rejected, he was assigned to check out the city parks for the cat. However, he seemed unable to fulfill his duty as he ended up in Raisins, eating wings and bragging about his superhero deeds.

When The New Kid, now as The Amazing Butthole, reached him, he came to his senses and recalled his mission, he then picked a fight with the Raisins Girls as he didn't want to pay for the food and the services he enjoyed. However, he was immediately charmed at the start of the battle, and turned to attack his fellow Coon and Friends. Eventually, when the Raisins girls are defeated, he escaped the restaurant with the New Kid. After escaping Raisins, Mosquito thanks The New Kid and questions The New Kid's Kryptonite. After fruitlessly questioning The New Kid, he realized that The New Kid does not have one, so he helps in adding The New Kid's Kryptonite inside the Character Sheet app of The New Kid's phone.

After the incident at Raisins, he was hunted down by the Raisins girls throughout town, with the Raisins Girls sending threatening messages to his alter-ego in Coonstagram, triggering the mission Raisins on a Rampage.

He went dark for the rest of the day, but he later appears in Civil War (either as a combatant or a spectator); he also expresses his confusion in Wonder Tweek and Super Craig's dialogue during the battle. He later demands the New Kid to learn to communicate when the latter fails to say anything in response to the operation suggestions made by Human Kite inside the Coon Lair where Doctor Timothy's phone was being analyzed.

During the mission The Bowels of the Beast, he is present inside the Buca De Faggoncini with The Coon and Human Kite, and informs that he did not see Classi leave the restaurant, and later joins the battle against the chefs and Randy (if selected as an Ally).

On the second day, Mosquito is seen guarding the Cube of Ultimate Destruction inside the Coon Lair, staying away from any action for most of the day; however, if the mission Raisins on a Rampage is completed, the mission A Perky Predicament is triggered; he will be waiting for The New Kid in front of Raisins.

On the second night, Mosquito appears as a part of the Coon and Friends team at the entrance of U-Stor-It. When General Disarray is defeated, he proceeds to peck away at him, at the same time interrogating him on the location of the cats held inside U-Stor-It. Later in the night, when Toolshed with The New Kid discover Chaos Minions loading "lava" into trucks at the compound of U-Stor-It, he hears Professor Chaos congratulating for making towards the end, in which he responds for Professor Chaos to come out and "fight like a man". He then discovers Professor Chaos making his appearance with his creation "Mecha Minion Chaos Supreme".

After Professor Chaos is defeated, he witnesses Professor Chaos being kicked awake and detained by The Coon, then proceeds to follow The Coon back to the Coon Lair for a debriefing, whereby he listens to Professor Chaos revealing the mastermind supporting his scheme. He later then makes his way back to bed after The Coon dismisses the debriefing.

He went silent for the entire third day, staying in the base without any role except a few lines in the meetings. He will also temporarily unavailable as a combat buddy starting from The Chaos Gambit (as The New Kid will be switching sides to infiltrate the Freedom Pals).

On the third night, he takes part in the infiltration to the Park County Police station and joins in with the Freedom Pals to defeat Jared and Shub-Niggurath.

Abilities

Mosquito is a "glass cannon" character, with high damage output and low health. His abilities allow him to hit multiple enemies at a time while healing himself and inflicting Gross Out on them, but they also tend to put him in range of extreme retaliation. He's at his best alongside allies that can shield him, draw enemy attention, or just get him out of the fray.
