The Raccoons (CA)

CYRIL SNEER is the Evergreen Forest's biggest tycoon. He's always been an enormously rich and cunning businessman, yet he too changed as the series progressed. In the specials, he is more of a dark, monstrous character and a real threat to the forest. To satisfy his pursuit of power and riches, he almost destroyed all the trees in the forest, threatened to build a sports arena over Evergreen Lake, and even planned an all-out attack on Earth. After the first episodes of the TV series, Cyril still takes his business to extremes, but most of his plans are less sinister and really only dangers to himself and the Pigs. He only really provides opposition to the Raccoons and other characters (Mr. Knox especially) when he feels they are in competition with him. Other than that, however, Cyril does have a softer side to his personality, especially when it comes to being a good father to Cedric and helping raise him to be his successor. He even acts as a voice of experience at times, such as when he persuaded Lisa not to take up smoking. Also, in the series we learn that Cyril is not a Sneer by blood, as he was adopted when he was young. But he still tries his hardest to do what he can for the name, even if his plans don't always turn out the way he expects.
