Cyril Sneer, the pink aardvark from the animated series The Raccoons, is one of the most unforgettable cartoon characters of the 1980s. Known for his grumpy voice, long snout, and signature cigar, Cyril starts off as a greedy, money-obsessed villain — but over time, he becomes a surprisingly complex and even lovable character.

What makes Cyril stand out is his evolution. Beneath the tough, scheming exterior is a character capable of growth, humor, and even kindness — especially in moments with his son, Cedric. His over-the-top personality and unique voice acting (by Michael Magee) made him a scene-stealer in every episode.

Cyril Sneer may have started as the bad guy, but he quickly became one of the most iconic and oddly endearing characters in 80s animation.
