Conker the Squirrel

Conker the Squirrel is the titular protagonist from the Conker the Squirrel game.

Conker

Appearance
Conker has always been portrayed with orange-red fur with tan-yellow patches of fur on his torso and bottom part of his face. He has big eyes and buck teeth. His appearance from Diddy Kong Racing to the actual Conker franchise, while having recognizable differences in clothing and fur, is relatively the same.

This next part doesn't have much to do with physical appearance, but with cartoon facial exaggerations as Conker is no exception to this rule. Examples include Conker's eyes growing in shock of the Haybot and when Conker grabs himself stashes of cash. Another thing is that his whole face can stretch and widen depending on his emotions, like how Rash from Battletoads, another Rare-developed franchise from Microsoft, does when he is scared.

Personality
As a young boy, Conker was told by his parents never to drink alcohol, be greedy or swear. In Diddy Kong Racing and Conker's Pocket Tales, Conker appears to be a nice and kind person who obeys rules and always seems to be happy-go-lucky. In Conker's Bad Fur Day however, Conker went through a dramatic change in personality. He had become a slightly greedy, alcoholic squirrel. His relationship with Berri is not as good as it was, and drinking alcoholic beverages is a regular part of Conker's life. As the game implies, Conker disobeyed the rules his parents told him as a kid. These personality traits are also noticed in Conker: LIve and Reloaded. Like most of the other squirrels in the Conker franchise, Conker is ignorant, ditzy and carefree. He helps almost every person in the game, not caring what they want or how dangerous the tasks are. And ever since he became alcoholic, he became a bit kooky like most of the other squirrels in the franchise. This was shown when even after he was cured of his dizziness, he still didn't notice he was going the wrong way. And while he was asking the Gargoyle "Isn't it a little bit early in the day to start talking about Gothic Architecture?", the time of day has nothing to do with architecture.
