Species	Crocodile

Steve Scriggins is one of Possum Springs' more unscrupulous denizens.

Appearance

Steve Scriggins is a green-blue crocodile with dark spines on his head. He wears a dark green jacket with a lighter green trim, arms and pocket. Scriggins also has dark blue jeans and brown shoes and a row of black teeth. His eyes are an orange color with black pupils.

Personality

Steve Scriggins is an unpleasant person, at least towards Mae and Gregg. Scriggins would often call both Mae and Gregg "ladies," despite Gregg being a man. This could either just be masculine posturing on his part or a reference to Gregg's sexuality.

Mae describes him as "scum and a criminal" and would rather not associate with him.

In some cut dialog in Night in the Woods, Lori states Scriggins still attends high school parties and often would hit on Lori's classmates.

Background

Steve Scriggins is around Mae's age and went to high school with her. During this time, Steve purportedly locked a teacher in a supply closet over the duration of Longest Night school break.

Currently, he is a worker on his brother's construction crew, but has a "side job" stealing copper and other materials from buildings.

Relationships

• Mae - Mae seems to have a strong hatred towards Steve.
• Gregg - Gregg seems to be more relaxed towards Steve but still doesn't like him.

Trivia

• According to Scott Benson, Steve Scriggins was one of the first NPCs created. He was used to test the game concept and had been around since August or September of 2013.
• Steve appears to have a army sergeant insignia on his shoulder. It is unknown if this means Steve's family has connections with the Military or whether it's just a pattern that came with his jacket.
• In the demo for Night in the Woods, it is implied that Steve was originally supposed to be the one who vandalized the mural in the Trolley Tunnel.
