Pew the Rat

Pew  is one of the two main antagonists (the other is Long John Silver) of the animated series, The Legends of Treasure Island, which is loosely based on the 1883 book Treasure Island by the late Robert Louis Stevenson. He was based on the character of the same name from the book.

He was voiced by Rob Rackstraw (uncredited).

PERSONALITY

In the original book, Pew was simply a blind former pirate who hands Billy Bones the Black Spot and ends up trampled to death by horses before the journey even begins. In the series  he's turned into a sinister villain with magical powers. Pew is blind, but don’t  underestimate him: he   has got a perfect ear and sense of smell, his spells terrified protagonist and allies even Long John Silver afraid of him and tried to get rid of his terrible  boss. In the series, Pew  was shown to be without pity and mercy and in the end he actually killed one of the protagonist.

APPEARANCE

Based on Blind Pew  from the original novel, he is an anthromorphic  blue  giant rat with glowing gold eyes that he can't see with. In both seasons, he wore red robe-looking outfit with hood on his head, in the beggining he apperead to be a simple pirate with the desire of finding Flint's treasure but as the story went on he was showed to be more like of an evil sorcerer, conjuring evil spells and creating monsters to fight the protagonist.

Also in the end his true nature and goals became even more and more obscure: he revealed to have no interest for jewel or gold of the treasure (he actually defined them "mortal baubles") and his real interest was a particular artifact present in the treasure.

Once he was able to grab the artifact he semeed to become invulnerable to anything; in the end he was apparently defeated but even his disappeareance was obscure: his body vanished in a cloud of green smoke while his clothes remained intact. So in the end you were actually wondering if he was really gone..
