Chris Griffen is an overgrown, sweet hearted 13 year old who looks imposing, but wouldn't hurt a fly (unless it landed on his hot dog, his favorite food). In that case, Chris would probably treat the fly as a condiment.
He doesn't have many friends. He often stays to himself, sometimes spending ime alone in his bedroom. Or that is what you may think. He is in fact tormented by an evil monkey the resides in his closet. Though Chris shares his tales of the pointing and sneering primate with his parents, they are forever indifferent to his cries.
He idolizes Peter and works hard not to disappoint him. It's a good thing for Chris that his father's expectations are so low. Still, Chris does have some hidden talents, especially his ability to draw.
