Gunge (The Sweet Treets)

Gunge is a recurring anti-hero in The Sweet Treets franchise, debuting in The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets in the episode "The Great Race". Part of the Rogon species, Gunge is a sneaky trickster, with an extremely unpredictable nature.

Gunge made his latest appearance in the All New! The Sweet Treets episode "Wake The Pumpkin", and has been completely absent since. According to Henry Buckings, Colourbox decided to retire Gunge from the series, as he was considered "unnecessary" and "too generic", and that Bingo was deemed "a better character". According to Louise, nobody in the series knows what has became of Gunge.

Despite being retired from the franchise, Gunge continues to appear in promotional artwork and merchandise. Notably, in August 2015, he appeared in a promotional poster for the 2015 Sweet Treets cartoon, despite the fact that he never appeared on that show.

Personality
Gunge is generally a wildcard character, who is unpredictable on what he will do next. He enjoys playing pranks on people, telling jokes and being silly for no apparent reason. In fact, in episodes with conflicts between certain characters, Gunge will generally side with one side just for fun and self-entertainment.

King Rojo
Gunge is loyal to King Rojo, and usually helps him with his goals, however, it is very likely that Gunge only does it for fun.

Stumpy
Due to his stupidity, Stumpy falls victim of Gunge's pranks frequently. Stumpy doesn’t seem to be aware of his tricks either, and thinks positively about him.

Bingo
Generally Gunge dislikes Bingo, as he thinks he gets in the way of his tricks. Bingo is also one which Gunge has difficulty tricking due to his intelligence.

Gunge disliking Bingo could have been foreshadowing Gunge getting retired in favour of Bingo.

Louise Lockridge
Gunge has a respect for Louise, and does not target her. He even sometimes hangs out with Louise and helps her with her issues. Although she enjoys his company, however, Louise doesn’t see Gunge as much of a friend, and often hangs out with him just for the sake of hanging out with more people, however, some of her quotes in the 2015 cartoon suggests that she misses his company.
