==Concept and creation== [[File:Russell Concept Art.png|thumb]] Russell's first concept was conceived to be a sea otter who has a compulsive habit of "cracking stuff on chest."<ref name="concept">''[[Happy Tree Friends: Volume 1: First Blood]]'' - ''Assembly Required''</ref> This design depicted him with visible ears, a cap, an eyepatch, a smoking pipe, beard, a peg leg, and a boot. The design was then refined, resulting in one closer to his final design, still having the beard. At first, the sea otter did not have a name until [[Kenn Navarro]] suggested "Russell" and the other staff went along with it<ref name="concept">''[[Happy Tree Friends: Volume 1: First Blood]]'' - ''Assembly Required''</ref>. As for why he was designed to be a pirate, the creators just found it funny<ref name="concept">''[[Happy Tree Friends: Volume 1: First Blood]]'' - ''Assembly Required''</ref>. Russell the Pirate's debut episode, "[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]", references the "cracking stuff on chest" concept with Russell the Pirate cracking open a clam on his chest to eat. His design in that episode removed the bushy beard and replaced it with a five o'clock shadow. This in turn happened to disappear in the last third of "[[Off the Hook]]". Russell was never drawn with a five o'clock shadow since then.
