Karishad is a supporting character in Housepets!. He first appeared in the comic during The Zoo as a birthday gift for his creator, but eventually grew to become a side character in the series. It was revealed in HECKRAISER REVELATIONS that he is the younger brother of Great Kitsune.
Personality[]
Karishad usually serves as comic relief, as his wacky antics amuse, confuse, and annoy his friends, especially Keene. Despite his strange and somewhat deranged behavior, he does have a crafty side to him, such as when he locked Keene in the ferret pen.
He also seems to misinterpret directions often, in lieu of his "punny" nature, such as him digging a 'roo' canal when Roosevelt needed a 'root' canal, touching everything when his tablet said 'Touch Anywhere to Continue', or dragging Joey to the pool when Keene wanted it filled with 'Nerds'.
Above everything else, Karishad is a friendly, kind-hearted fox and cares for his friends, (even if his way of 'caring' is a little odd).
General Information[]
Karishad was introduced as a zoo animal, but eventually was hired to work in the Milton Manor, where he spends his days now. He has a strange fixation for the game of cornhole, a running gag involving him asking various characters if they've ever played the game. He is most often seen with Tarot, or annoying Keene. Originally a zoo dweller before coming to work for the Miltons, Karishad seems to live at some times in the mansion, other times in Pete's Temple (even Pete admits he doesn't know how he gets in there) and then into Jessica's den when the the temple collapsed.
After he tricked Keene into getting locked in the ferret pen at the zoo, Keene hired him to work for him in order to unlock the mystery of the temple, as Karishad has no sense of self-preservation whatsoever; this led him to being the warrior in Temple Crashers.
During Flip That Den!, Karishad serves as construction supervisor when the Milton Ferrets decide to redesign Jessica's den for their reality show. Despite getting into misadventures along the way, he manages to transform the den into a well-furnished condo. Later on, after Karishad loses his home in the temple when it collapses in Temple Crashers 2: Epilogue Crashers, and Jessica invites him to live in her tree house - only to discover that he has been working on a basement complex there without her knowledge.
In On To Stranger Pastures, it was revealed that Karishad is Kitsune's little brother and has been secretly protecting the cast (abliet unsucessfully most of the time.)
