Stingle is a character from Season 10 of the Expanded Animated Universe who first appears in the episode of the same name.
Background Information
Stingle is not particularly evil, but he cause troubles for Greedy Smurf, often stealing his smurfberry-made food for his own accord. Sometimes he and the Smurfs join forces in order to defeat a greater common foe. Other times he gets into trouble with Snappy Smurfling who wants to use him as a toy, or with Mystico and Hethera who want to eat/use him for something. For example: being a fish's bait or being their pet.
Eventually he becomes best friends with Smurfette and - later - Acorn after helping her save the other pixies from the Wartmongers. And following that he befriends Nat and Sassette, and later Moxette who likes hearing him sing "Listen to the Mocking Bird" due to the phrase "Mocking"; he always hangs out with them. He can usually be found sitting on their shoulders.
Stingle is also known to dislike seeing someone crying (especially if it is a female) as seen when he refuses to help Acorn save her friends: as he walks away he hears her crying, so he says, "Oh, I don't like to see someone crying - especially a girl!" Then he changes his mind and agrees to help her.
