Rasmussen^[1], known more colloquially as Raz, was a rough kangaroo that joined up with the piratical ape Gutt.

Biography

Raz worked under the command of a seafaring ape named Gutt, who voyaged through the seas in a massive glacier he dubbed his "ship"; Raz carried out her captain's orders with relish, enjoying fights as they arose.

Early Life

Raz was rescued by Gutt from an unknown fate, earning her a spot on Gutt's pirate crew, which she filled loyally as the ship's weapons expert, filling her pouch with bone spears and daggers.

New Crew

One day, as the ship was out at sea, Raz and the rest of the crew watched as Gutt hoisted up the catch of the day: after harpooning a bone arrow into the waters, he pulled out a saber-tooth squirrel named Scrat, who had been holding onto an acorn fragment that Gutt had speared. The squirrel, who had been halfway swallowed by a fish, with a small scallop on his chest, and seaweed atop his head, was welcomed by Gutt himself, to the crew's amusement, Raz pointing her shell spear at the squirrel and laughing along with the crew, all of whom later forced Scrat to dance for their entertainment.

When Manny, Diego, Sid, and his Granny are washed into the sea on an iceberg, the pirates find and attack them, with Raz claiming Manny, "the woolly one" as hers. Raz throws weapons to the other pirates, loads the cannons, and jumps down onto the ice flow to catch the group, along with the other pirates. She takes part in Gutt's shanty, plucking her spear. The group then sinks the pirates ship.

When Louis challenged Gutt for the safety of Peaches, Gupta gave the molehog his own knife, which Louis used to distract the crew, so he could burrow underneath them, catching Gutt offguard. During the ensuing battle, Raz was blasted into the ocean by Precious.

Personality and Traits

"I love this job!"

―Raz while firing the snow cannons.^[src]

A bullish Procoptodon, Raz sported the traits unique to her kind: short face, long tail, grasping forearms, a pouch and long legs which sported one hoof-like toe each. Raz's long ears drooped down behind her head and her pelt was striped grey and violet with a whitish underbelly. Raz made use of her pouch, in which she kept weapons to throw to her crewmates in a fight, from dried starfish and fish spines to shark jaws and sea anemones; along with this, Raz used a sawfish skull as a sword in fights.

Raz was aggressive and hostile when dealing with Gutt's malcontents, notably with the ground sloth Sid, whom she harbored a particular grudge against. Enjoying a good brawl and always ready to fight, Raz was relentless when pushed, needing little provocation.
