The Pest

Not be be confused with the Vermin, a non-adventurous Pest.

That worthless dumbass who calls themselves the Hero's teammate everyone would be better off without. The Pest more often gets themselves in trouble than not, making them unworthy of being on the team. Pests are more commonly male than female because girls are good and boys are bad. Anybody whose purpose we have to question might not do anything other than make things worse for everyone and should be sent off the team as soon as possible if not right this very moment.

Aside from being a terrible teammate to the Hero, a Pest is also any character the audience mostly dislikes, such as someone who clearly exists for merchandising or is too annoyingly stupid for the audience to enjoy.
