Personality[]
Champ is the opposite of his parents, who are athletic and smart. Champ lacks common sense, taking him extra time to figure things out, and is scared of most things. But when push comes to shove, and someone he cares about is in danger, he's brave and smart. This was evident when his crush, Taylor, was cornered by the Werewolf of Fever Swamp and he risked his own life by biting the beast knowing his silver fillings would cause it pain, saving her.
