Nutty will do whatever it takes to get the sugar he wants, even if it will hurt or even kill him and others around him. The episode also shows that when Nutty is in contact with a lot of candy he will stuff himself to the point to where it almost kills him. He also becomes momentarily sad after finishing his candy. It also shows that once he loses one addiction, he is susceptible to start a new one almost immediately, hinting that he probably has an addictive personality.

As seen in the False Alarm episode, he can go insane if left without candy for too long.

He sometimes foams at the mouth when deprived of candy or any other sugar-related items as seen in Nuttin' Wrong with Candy. One drop of sugar makes him hyper to the point that he could create a tornado like a certain ' Tasmanian Devil', as is seen in Party Animal. He was first heard actually speaking when he wishes for a scrumptious lollipop in As You Wish. An example for the former, in Icy You, his lazy eye is his left eye but when he notices the slushy machine, it is his right eye for the rest of the episode.ДЄs a result of his huge sugar intakes, Nutty is often hyperactive and jittery, and giggles more than he talks (sometimes he even giggles while he is dying). Due to animation errors, Nutty's lazy eye and candy switch positions multiple times, similar to Lumpy antlers. In some episodes, however, he seems to be able to control it, usually whenever he looks at an object intently. It is apparent that his googly eye is an amblyopia (or lazy eye, in layman's term), as it is almost always looking down and drops down whenever he looks somewhere else it also bounces around when he jitters. In his debut episode Nuttin' Wrong with Candy, he eats the swirly lollipop on his head and the candy attached to his fur falls off, meaning that Nutty was seen without candy stuck to him for the first time. He has a big swirly lollipop, candy cane, small all-day sucker, and a candy apple stuck to his fur, which he even treats as his wardrobe, as evidenced in Chew Said a Mouthful, where he is shown dressing in them and even taking great care in straightening his candy cane like a tie, although this changes at times, where he eats them outright as seen in Nuttin' Wrong with Candy. Nutty has an addiction for candy or anything that is sugary, assuming that he has a sweet tooth. Nutty is a lime squirrel with a yellow diamond-shaped marking on his head and a large curled-up tail that moves when he is excited.
