PSY-CROW

'Psy-Crow' is a fictional character from the ''Earthworm Jim'' universe. Despite his career as an intergalactic bounty hunter, Psy-Crow spends most of his time on missions from Queen Slug-For-A-Butt. Psy-Crow was the boss on the asteroid chase levels in ''Earthworm Jim 1'', and became the main antagonist in ''Earthworm Jim 2'', kidnapping Princess What's-Her-Name in an attempted power grab. He also showed up in ''Earthworm Jim 3D'' as the final boss in the Memory area.
In the cartoon series (see animated series), Psy-Crow's character (voiced by Jim Cummings) was fleshed out a bit more. He occasionally allies himself with Professor Monkey-For-A-Head, generally in service to the Queen but in at least one case in a successful attempt to take control of Insectika. The Queen eventually returned to dethrone the two of them, however. On at least one occasion, Psy-Crow grew tired of his bounty hunter profession and tried out other occupations, including a job as, what Jim once called "the most horrible peril in all the universe", a Gym Teacher (he was fired for shooting lasers at the children; the reason being that he was too nice to be a gym teacher.) He soon decided that being a bounty hunter was indeed his chosen profession. In the episode, ''Hyper-Psycrow'', when the 'Great Worm Spirit' (Doug TenNapel, the creator of Earthworm Jim) shows up after Psy-Crow and Jim destroy the universe, Psy-Crow claims to have been a veteran of the Vietnam War, explaining how he ended up meeting the spirit (who pulled him into a foxhole, thereby saving his life).
Being a crow persona to Jim's worm persona, Psy-Crow is generally regarded as Jim's primary nemesis. However, he has not yet managed to successfully beat Jim, for a long period of time, anyway. This could be attributed to his general lack of intelligence and common sense, or the fact that he is very poor in hand-to-hand combat which make him less of a threat than such adversaries as Queen Slug-for-a-Butt or Evil the Cat.
