Krauser Krebs is the main antagonist of Back at the Barnyard episode "Brave Udders". He was the childhood bully of Otis and returned to the barnyard to confront him. Throughout the episode, he seemed to be an unstoppable aggressive force hellbent on destroying Otis and his friends. However, he's revealed to have changed since Otis' childhood and only was aggressive due to his friends treating him like a threat.
Appearance[]
Krebs is a green mallard with combed hair. When enraged, his hair is messed up and has big blood-shot eyes.
Personality[]
Krebs originally took the personality of the typical merciless bully. He used to use physical intimidation and assault to assert power over Otis purely for his enjoyment. When enraged, Krebs' range fully consumes him and is fully committed to whoever insulted him. In reality, Krebs became a sensible and rational individual who doesn't want to use violence unless provoked. He came all the way to the barnyard to apologize and would've amended the animosity for Otis if it wasn't for his rash assumptions.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
It is presumed that Krebs grew up on the same barnyard as Otis. He would often torment a young Otis through physical violence and even sexual assault (taking Otis to the "dairy section" by fondling his udders). Eventually, Krebs would leave the barnyard to some distant area.
"Brave Udders"[]
Krebs sends a note to Otis telling of his arrival to the barnyard. Otis, traumatized by Krebs' bullying, can't get himself to confront Krebs and attempts to run away before he could arrive. Krebs arrives on the barnyard, much to the chagrin of Otis' friends who thought Krebs was a genuine threat. Freddy and Peck are first to confront Krebs. He insists he doesn't want to get into a fight, but the pair insistently taunt him. He eventually has enough, becoming completely enraged and beating Freddy and Peck senseless. Otis' friends continually try to fight Krebs, despite the fact that it's the only reason why he's enraged. Eventually, Otis summons enough courage to confront and fight Krebs, once again ignoring what Krebs wants to say. Finally, Krebs gets to apologize to Otis and reveals that he's changed significantly since their childhood. He's taken anger management techniques and was only enraged by Otis' friends' aggressive behavior towards him. He begrudgingly leaves the barnyard to apologize to another childhood bully victim.
