Nick is quite an astute judge of character as he was able to correctly deduce where Judy was from, what her ambitions were and what her future would become instantly after meeting her. Nick is also an incredibly cunning and resourceful planner, able to formulate intricate and devious hustles in a rather short period of time, as he was able to manipulate Bellwhether into fully admitting into her involvement of turning fourteen predators savage by pretending to be turned himself by replacing the savage serum pellet with a blueberry and recording said confession with a carrot pen. Being a former criminal himself, Nick is aware of how criminals operate and uses this knowledge to locate the Timberwolves. Nonetheless, despite his seemingly untrustworthy and uncaring demeanor, Nick can be sympathetic to other people who were downtrodden as he was, defending Judy from the prejudiced Bogo after finally learning of the gravity of the case she was stuck with and continued to encourage and assist her with finding the missing mammals from that point on.Īlways carefree and slick, and rarely ever fazed during critical or dangerous events, but with a sly smile and endless charm, he is capable of fooling and hustling others around him without any difficulties and is a master con artist. He has gotten in trouble because of this, though, as he gets on the bad side of Zootopia's crime boss Mr. Nick is extremely well-connected throughout Zootopia, especially in regards to its criminal element. Beneath this façade, however, he is deeply unhappy, and it is implied that deep down, he wants to be seen as more than what he is. Thus, Nick is sly, sarcastic, and cunning, the fitting stereotype of a fox. As a result, Nick learned to never show vulnerability, and grew to believe that there was no point in trying to be anything other than what others believed him to be.

Nick was bullied as a child by the other animals of Zootopia, who looked down on him because of stereotypes of foxes as shifty and dishonest.
