The Butcher

The Butcher is a villain on WordGirl and is voiced by head writer Jack D. Ferraiolo. His specialty is meat-related crimes, and he has the ability to produce copious amounts of any kind of meat by simply calling it out. "The Butcher" is dressed as a butcher normally would be, but he also very frequently butchers the English language (much to the irritation of WordGirl.)

Initially, WordGirl had difficulty with this villain and could not figure out how to overcome his meat-attacks. She consulted her friend and ally Professor Boxleitner (who shortly after was transformed into Dr. Two-Brains by an experiment gone horribly wrong) and hile consulting him realized that Captain Huggy Face and his collossal hunger was the key. Since then, Huggy has generally been in charge of handling the meat attacks, devouring astounding amounts of meat and thus rendering the attacks ineffective. Since this, Huggy has occasionally failed, especially if he or WordGirl are distracted--such as in the episode ''Meat with a Side of Cute. ''Also, it has been shown that The Butcher's powers are nullified by tofu.

The Butcher has displayed a desire to correct his deficiencies in English, but the furthest he has gotten is improving his enunciation.
