Scroop

Scroop was the secondary antagonist, but is later the true antagonist in the 2002 Disney movie, ''Treasure Planet. ''

Scroop is a crab/spider-like extra-terrestrial who was a crewmember of Long John Silver (who was thought to be the main antagonist, since he is the mastermind of a mutiny and discovery of a giant planet of treasure, but later reforms due to his attachment with the protagonist Jim Hawkins).

Scroop was hired along with Silver and the rest of the crew by Dr. Delbert Doppler on a mission to find Treasure Planet under the control of Captain Amelia and her first mate, Mr. Arrow, due to a holographic projector that Jim got from a deceased pilot named Billy Bones that obtains a map leading to Treasure Planet. Like Silver and the rest of the crew, he wanted the treasure, but unlike Silver, who has a soft spot for Jim, Scroop is more ruthless and evil, and is willing to do whatever to get what he wants, even if it means harassing Silver and other crewmembers.

At first, he was prepared to kill Jim Hawkins when he was eavesdropping on the crew planning a mutiny. That is, until Silver intervened, forcing him to stop. This was when Mr. Arrow scolded Scroop for harassing Jim after Silver stopped him. When the ship was nearing a blackhole, Scroop deliberately cuts off Arrow's lifeline, and allows him to fall into the blackhole to his death. He then frames Jim for the murder by making others believe that Jim didn't tie up Arrow's lifeline. When upon learning of Silver developing a soft spot for Jim while planning the mutiny (as he witnessed Silver comforting Jim over the demise of Arrow), Scroop attempts to take advantage of it to take over the crew by harassing Silver in front of them, but Silver insists that he doesn't, unaware that Jim was eavsdropping on it, not knowing that Silver only said it to save himself.

During the climax, Scropp remained on the ship and he started fighting with Jim, who tries to get the map for Silver. B.E.N. the robot accidentally switches off the gravitation wire, thus making the gravity disappear. As Jim was holding onto the flag, Scroop attempted to cut off the rope to kill Jim, telling him to say hello to Mr. Arrow. However, Jim outsmarts Scroop by grabbing to the pole, and tricks him into jumping onto the flag, saying, "Tell him (Mr. Arrow) yourself!" As a result, the rope snaps, and the murderous alien screams in agony as he drifts off into space, falling upwards to his demise and never to be seen again.
