| ~ Savio explaining his revenge plan. |
Savio is a major antagonist from The Penguins of Madagascar. He is an enormous, sly, powerful, manipulative, and devious boa constrictor who was once a resident of the Central Park Zoo after he was transferred from Hoboken. He has an extremely sneaky and deceptive personality. He enjoys eating small mammals (but temporarily ate Private wearing a monkey suit). He speaks with a Spanish accent, befitting his Latin American origins.
He was played by Néstor Carbonell, who also played Señor Senior, Junior in Kim Possible, Richard Alpert in Lost, Alex Romero in Bates Motel, and Ponce de Leon in 2017 reboot of DuckTales..
Biography[]
He was transferred from Hoboken in "The Big Squeeze", and resided in the Reptile House. Right from the start the penguins were suspicious of him, but their suspicions intensified as Mort, Marlene, and Maurice suddenly vanished. He continuously claimed that he didn't eat them (though as time went by, a bulge formed in his stomach). Although Private still believed that he was innocent and the scientific evidence made Savio's escape impossible (Kowalski deduced that the locking system was too tough with its metal locks and sophisticated keypad and the vent was too narrow for Savio to go through after feeding).
However, after Maurice vanished, Skipper decided to try to apprehend Savio by putting Private out in a monkey suit, as Savio clearly had a taste for mammals, while Skipper, Kowalski and Julien, tagging along for safety, would catch him with his guard down. However, the three had mistaken a hose the zoo manager was holding for Savio and Private vanished. Once they returned to the Reptile House for the final confrontation, Savio claimed innocence again despite his guilty outlook. However, as they were talking Savio inconspicuously opened the air vent with his tail. Skipper figured out how Savio managed to get out, but before he could say it, Savio had finished typing in the access code. He then chased the penguins and ate Julien in the process. However, Skipper in the gang managed to foil Savio by leading him into Burt's enclosure, where the elephant proceeded to beat up Savio and force him to release the animals he captured. Due to the dangers he could prevail, he was transferred back at the end of the episode.
In the episode "All Tied Up With a Boa", he escaped from the Hoboken Zoo and moved in direction of the Central Park Zoo to exact his revenge. When everyone heard that Savio was on his way to the zoo, they panicked and turned to Burt for help. Unfortunately, the cunning and intelligent snake anticipated this and sent Burt a surprise package with a mouse inside that scared Burt into a wall and knocked him out. Since they could no longer count on their "trump card", the Penguins, Maurice, Mort, Marlene, and an oddly confident Julien then began to prepare for Savio's arrival. They set up a 3-layer defense grid (a minefield, electric fence and knockout gas) and had members situated at lookout spots to stop Savio, but the boa managed to clear the traps and corner everyone. Julien was extremely frightened as he mistook Savio for Fred (big teeth, long booty and fancy continental accent) and ran away, leaving the others to be captured and locked in a cage.
Savio then reveals his plans to swallow everyone one by one, then regurgitate and swallow them in reverse order, he left to find Julien who had returned to where the others were. However, Savio found him, and while trying to catch him, Julien ended up getting covered in popcorn butter. Ironically, this allowed Julien to slip out of Savio's grasp and in turn, cover the serpent in butter and thus immobilize him. Soon Savio was captured by the authorities and once again returned to Hoboken.
He next appears back at the Hoboken Zoo in the episode "The Hoboken Suprise", so happy with his new life that he wasn't angry at the penguins. This Savio was later revealed to be an android duplicate created by Frances Alberta, while the real one was imprisoned underground. The boa later escaped from imprisonment with Clemson, Kowalski, Hans, Private, Rico, and Lulu in his belly after he was sling shot out a hole in the prison by Rhonda. He participated in the final battle against the androids.
Savio's latest appearance was in "The Terror of Madagascar" after he was transferred to the Central Park Zoo by King Julien to eat a baby fossa he believed wanted to maul him. Savio was able to outwit the Penguins several times but Julien, having had a change of heart towards the baby fossa, was able to keep Savio away from him until they were cornered. Baby fossa then protected Julien by constantly biting Savio, making him scream and slither around in panic. It's presumed that he was eventually transferred back to Hoboken.
