“Ah, please, sit down. We'll explore this unresolved envy.”

Dr. Animus is a therapist, counselor and psychiatrist. He talks with a heavy accent and takes his work very seriously.

Physical appearance[]

Dr. Animus is a very slender, pea green-skinned alien with a red brow and mustache. He wears thick glasses, a comfy sweater, and has an office for his work and patients. His accent is remarkably thick and reminiscent of German; a stereotype of Freudian psychologists.

Dr. Animus is from an unknown species of alien and is the only one seen of his kind in the series.

History[]

Dr. Animus often times evaluates members of Team Lightyear. He once examined Buzz Lightyear when he was overstressed, and he also examined XL who had been criminally pretending to be XR so he could blow up Star Command. Beyond that, Dr. Animus has yet to be seen in another light.

Personality[]

Dr. Animus comes off as very relaxed and even-tempered, rarely using force unless necessary for the health of the patient. He's not particularly strong, nor does he appear to be a fighter.
