Cuckoo is an anthropomorphic male chicken.
Official Description[]
"Nobody is quite certain how this nervous, twitchy racer made the cut into this year’s Rimba Grand Prix line-up. Wide-eyed and easily startled, Cuckoo looks every bit like the person who has accidently stumbled into something way over his head.
However, his driving skills and a fair amount of luck have managed to earn him a spot among the elite. Normally preferring to keep to himself and avoid confrontation, Cuckoo proves to be the most reclusive participant of the race."[1]
History[]
RGP XIII[]
RGP IV[]
In “Back In The Game”, it is revealed that Cuckoo won’t be returning to the RGP for its new season. Later, in “Fair Game”, he is shown on a television clip in which he is approached for an interview about accusations of cheating by RGP racers. Demonstrating his usual apprehensiveness, Cuckoo refuses to speak to the interviewer and vehemently rejects any notions of getting involved with the RGP again.
Appearance[]
Cuckoo has a short, slim build, topped by a red stylized rooster head. He has a crest and waddle of matching color, and a large orange beak. He has light blue eyes and large black eyebrows. His casual attire consists of tan pants and a mostly white shirt with red shoulders and cuffs, with a yellow shirt visible underneath.
Cuckoo's racing jumpsuit is divided into sections, with yellow-sided gray legs, a pattern that stretches up onto the sides of his torso. The middle part of his torso is white, ending at red shoulders that match his large red gloves, and he wears a yellow shirt underneath. His upper arms are white below the shoulders, and gray from the elbows to the gloves. His racing helmet is white and egg-shaped, leaving his beak and lower face exposed, with two large red sections around the two large, gold-lined lenses that allow him to see.
