Hazard is one of the four mercenaries that works for victim and Rocket Corp. in Animator vs. Animation Season 3.

Appearance

Hazard is, as to be expected from such a description, a pictogram stick figure one would see on various signs. They are tall, with a dark grey body. Their solid head is separate from the rest of their body, they have a light grey outline and, unlike the others, noticeably has an actual "body" of sorts and isn't just a flat line. For whatever reason, they have very limited movement and moves on a lower framerate. In certain postures, they are completely flat. They have the lightest outline out of all of the mercenaries.

Personality

Hazard, unlike the other mercenaries, seems to be a lot more unserious. While having limited screentime, it can be somewhat safe to assume that Hazard is overall comical. However, similar to the other three, Hazard seems to be very loyal to victim and will do whatever is necessary to successfully complete a mission.

History

Animator vs. Animation Season 3

Wanted - Animator vs. Animation 9

Hazard, along with his mercenary allies pursue The Chosen One in a city in the Outernet, following him up until they make it towards the spot The Showdown took place. The Chosen One creates a cumulonimbus cloud, powering down Ballista, Primal and Hazard's airborne vehicles.

The Chosen One escapes to ALANSPC, and returns to the Outernet with The Second Coming, the mercenaries spot The Chosen One flying down to the woods and they land in a field to search for him. The mercenaries spot The Second Coming and draw their weapons at him, they quickly suspect The Second Coming was helping The Chosen One and open fire.

The Chosen One helps The Second Coming, but The Chosen One is shot by the mercenaries' guns and becomes paralysed, leaving The Second Coming to fend for himself. The Second Coming managed to distract Ballista and Primal, The Second Coming draws a shield as Hazard moves towards him, Hazard knocks the shield away and has a quick fight with The Second Coming. He draws a bird that goes in Hazard's face, causing them to make a car alarm noise.

The other mercenaries have managed to go past their distractions and surround The Second Coming, but they are stopped by Agent.

The Chosen One recovers from his paralysis, blasting the three mercenaries away from him, Agent pauses The Chosen One and the four mercenaries retreat, having successfully captured The Chosen One.

The mercenaries return to the headquarters of Rocket Co., they head into an elevator that leads to an office, they meet up with their boss, victim and inform them that The Chosen One was captured.

The Box - Animator vs. Animation 10

Hazard is little more than a background character in this episode. They looked on as victim and The Chosen One dueled and had their interrogation and was shocked upon learning of The Second Coming's powers. After victim put a mark on Yellow, they walked with their fellow Mercenaries and victim through the building.

Actual Shorts

Corn Dog Guy

During the events of Wanted, the mercenaries pursue The Chosen One and pass by a stick figure and his booth, which is hit by one of the mercenaries' glitch bombs.

Powers & Abilities

Hazard has exceptional hand-to-hand combat skills that put The Second Coming on the defensive. They also have the ability to electrocute objects into dust and is seen to express through signs. They are also one of the few stickmen we have seen to make sounds, like a car alarm. As a side note, it could be argued that Hazard has abnormal speed due to their capability of seemingly darting from one pose to another. They are also animated in the lowest framerate, allowing them to quickly dart from one position to another.
