PersonaityWhen he's first introduced, Stinger appears to be a kindhearted individual. He saved Fearless when the latter was caught in an eagle's nest. Stinger was among the Brightforest Baboons who believed Fearless despite being a lion cub should reside in their Troop until he can care for himself. Stinger's reputation has earned him the respect of many of his Troopmates. However, It later turns out that Stinger isn't kind at all but rather cruel, greedy, manipulative and power-hungry as he Killed Bark and Grub who were the Crownleafs (Baboon term for Leader) before him in cold blood just so he can become the Troops leader. When Thorn confronts him about this, Stinger claims it was necessary so the troop can have "guidance".

Stinger then abuses his power and makes decisions That endanger the troop and eventually all of Bravelands.
