| ~ Scuttlebutt stealing right under the noses from the Indians, Dithering, Fievel, Tiger and Tony. |
Scuttlebutt is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Chief McBrusque) in An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island.
He is Dr. Dithering's associate. Scuttlebutt is always poking around to see what the doctor is up to, while the doctor believes him to just be a curious fellow. However, it is revealed that he is really just a spy for the factory owners (Mr. Grasping, Toplofty and O'Bloat) to see if there is anything the owners want from him. When they finally reached the underground village, Scuttlebutt was attempting to steal many of the belongings of the Indians and was put in their jail until they all left the village. He later becomes a guide and partner to the savage Chief McBrusque. After the final battle, he and McBrusque were assumed to have drowned. He has a British accent and is rather clumsy (while mostly being humorous, unlike his superiors).
He was voiced by John Kassir.
His Evil Ranking[]

Why He Doesn't Stand Out?[]
- His actions amount to attempted murder, theft and aiding and abetting, making him bog-standard.
- He is played for laughs 99% of the time.
- He fails the standards to Moe, who forced children to work in a sweatshop.
- He seemed to be genuinely affable towards Dr. Dithering, Fievel, Tony, Tiger and the others before his betrayal
- He is possibly a scapegoat, as he was abused by McBrusque several times and died for rather minor crimes.
