This is Rodriguez.
He is a grasshopper of Latin descent who’s convinced he’s the most charasmatic and handsome male the world has ever known.
He always hops in at moments of difficulty, often delivering a few words of encouragement such as: “keep on hopping amigos, keep on hopping!” After which, he usually hops away.
