'''The Cheat''' (whose name is "The Cheat", with the definite article) is quite possibly the only one of his kind. At knee-height (1' 2" ''et'' 18lb.), and covered with yellow fuzz, The Cheat presents an adorable figure that is marred only by his large gold tooth. He speaks entirely in a language of high-pitched squeaks and growls, which is actually called "The Cheat," that other characters apparently understand just fine. According to his [[Yearbook Character Page]], his motto is "No rule is solid". He is what you could call [[Strong Bad|Strong Bad's]] "sidekick" and [[Strong Mad|Strong Mad's]] best friend.

The Cheat is loyal to Strong Bad for many reasons. In [[privileges]], The Cheat earns points for doing things that amuse Strong Bad, and when he gets enough points, he earns extra privileges (e.g. use of the mute button). Strong Bad pays The Cheat for his services; in [[lackey]], he convinces The Cheat that pencil shavings are legal tender, only for The Cheat to trick [[Bubs]] into accepting the shavings as cash. Strong Bad coerces and bullies The Cheat into being his lackey to a certain extent, and the two share a somewhat abusive relationship, particularly since Strong Bad is fond of [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking him]]. Finally, The Cheat sees Strong Bad's brother Strong Mad as a source of protection, as seen in The Cheat's character video. While The Cheat is more than willing to help Strong Bad in his schemes of obvious illegitimacy, it must be noted that he isn't very good at it. Whenever he and Strong Bad try to pull off a heist, prank, etc., The Cheat usually screws something up and thus causes the plan to fail. A few examples of this are in "[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]" and the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[caper]]."

He has fought with an addiction to cigarettes, and plays the piano, the drums (in the toon [[Cool Things]]) and his [[The Cheat's keyboard|old keyboard]]. His other skills include [[Powered by The Cheat|flash animation]] with his computer, ''[[Tangerine Dreams]]''. He lives in the  [[The King of Town]]'s grill which is a nice place,  according to [[Strong Sad]]. The Cheat works at an unspecified tech company with [[Homestar Runner]] and Strong Bad, probably tech support. Strong Bad's retelling of how he met The Cheat in [[flashback]] professes that he hatched from a giant egg (possibly making him a [[Wikipedia:Monotreme|monotreme]], an egg laying [[Wikipedia:Mammal|mammal]]) containing a lifetime supply of fishsticks, though it's not clear if it can be taken as truth or not.

According to [[Matt Chapman]] in [http://web.archive.org/web/20041112050031/http://www.clubaquatica.net/Interviews/matttranscript_2.htm this interview], The Cheat does all the voices in his Flash cartoons. Apparently he normally can only speak in squeaks, but can impersonate the other characters speaking English remarkably well (for a The Cheat). Apparently, as explained in [[bottom 10]], The Cheat has a foul stench when he is wet.

The Cheat also seems to possess [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|explosive properties]], which can cause his head to explode with no apparently lasting effects, but it is debated exactly what may trigger it, since The Cheat's anatomy provides no information about the subject. It could be triggered chemically (ie [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|carbonated drinks and Pop Rocks]] or [[Happy Fireworks|when agitated]]), when the brain is being overworked, such as in [[pizzaz|states of confusion]], or seemingly [[couch patch|for no reason at all]].
