Ike has an endlessly curious spirit, and is often found getting into trouble for the sake of discovery. He is a bit cowardly when his curiosity leads to trouble and anything dangerous, but his friends or handler are usually there to bail him out of whatever strife he gets into. Ike also has a competetive streak which comes out in any situation that could be seen in any way as a contest. Sometimes his constant need to win can get tiresome, but despite his flaws he's still a trustworthy, dependable companion and friend.
