Amos Slade

amos slade is a hunter not associated with the villain league or team nefarious, yet is also the main villain from spyro and friends meet the fox and the hound, set to arrive in the near future. he was a very bad-tempered and trigger-happy farmer who was also an avid hunter, he saw Tod as a pest and had no hesitation in trying to shoot the fox multiple times whenever he strayed onto his property - he also had plans on making Copper into a hunting dog and thus treated the pup somewhat harshly (though he was never outright cruel to him).

In the end Amos' temper was what truly made him a threat as he often flew into a rage and would open fire at will, even being described as a "trigger-happy maniac" at one point in the film.

Eventually Amos' foul temperment forced Tod's kindly owner to give him up and take him into the forest where she felt he would be safe - unfortunately for her Amos caught wind of this and decided to hunt Tod down to be rid of the fox once and for all.

During the chaos that ensued the old hunting hound Chief was injured by a fall and Copper blamed Tod, creating tension between the two friends and after taking Chief home to recover Amos and Copper returned to once again hunt Tod.

This time the battle was interrupted by the arrival of a very large and feral bear that tried to kill Copper and Amos on orders from fagin the vulture but Tod intervened to protect his childhood friend - falling down a waterfall in the resulting fray.

Amos prepared to open fire on the exhausted fox as he dragged himself out of the water but Copper finally came to Tod's aid and pleaded with his master - in the end Amos couldn't bring himself to betray his loyal hound and thus let Tod live.

Amos then returned to his farm and presumably never bothered Tod again as the fox was now happy and free in the forest.
