Back Story: Animal is the wild and frenzied drummer of Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem, the band from The Muppet Show.
Animal's character can be summed up in five words: sex, sleep, food, drums, and pain (although Animal has also claimed that "Drums are food!" Animal's vocabulary is generally limited to guttural shouts and monosyllabic grunts, often repeating a few simple phrases, as well as his trademark gravelly laugh.
During performances, Animal is usually chained to the drum set by a collar around his neck, as his musical outbursts are extremely violent. In some episodes, he has been summoned to chase off performers who are 'being annoying'.
Alone among characters on the show, Floyd has trained his fellow musician to obey a few simple off-drum commands correctly, suggesting dog training.
Animal's bushy eyebrows and hair, outrageous behavior, and wild drumming style can be associated with classical hard-partying rock drummers, such as The Who's Keith Moon, Led Zeppelin's John Bonham and Cream's Ginger Baker. Animal is a savant, versatile session drummer, to back Muppet tunes, and is capable even of finishing a slow song, if the singer is nice lady. Animal will get about halfway through and then after announcing "Too slow!" launch into a faster paced version of the song. The band would usually comment that Animal lasted much longer than they thought he would. He matched both Buddy Rich and Harry Belafonte in drum-offs on The Muppet Show.
Animal always takes thing literally. For example, Jim Nabors once spoke the traditional theatrical good luck wish, "Break a leg", whereupon Animal indulged him by trying to break Nabors's leg. Animal turns to the audience, his eyes go wide and he goes berserk, taking the figure of speech literally.
Animal is a literal skirt-chaser. In The Muppets Take Manhattan, he chases a female student out of the auditorium, chanting "Woo-maaaan!" after her. He also chases cars.
Animal's lack of social grace is on display at the very end of The Muppet Movie. After the credits, his face fills the screen as he admonishes the audience, "Go home! Go home!"
