Bug's success as a thief is all due to one special object in his possession; a rabbit skull imbued with black magic. Already long embittered with the island he calls home for treating him so callously as a child, one final straw pushes him over the edge and he decides to curse the island and everyone in it. He is, however, thwarted in his attempt and dies in the process. He ends up reanimated years later in a plush toy. Together, with the granddaughter of one of his enemies, he seeks to finish what he'd started.
