Skunk

The skunk is a black and white woodland creature that sprays a foul-smelling odor as a way of defense and appeared only in Total Drama Island.

Appearances
The skunk first appeared during the first season's opening sequence. It is shown with DJ and several other animals. At first, it is seen watching him peacefully, but immediately attacks him along with all the other animals when a foul-smelling fish falls onto his lap, dropped by an eagle.

In X-Treme Torture, at the Campfire Ceremony, Geoff smells so bad from landing in a pile of dirty socks that he is forced to sit on a tree branch far away from the other contestants, with only a skunk for company.

In Brunch of Disgustingness, one of the dishes the campers must eat is Skunk Shakes, which Chef makes using actual skunk spray that is liquidized into a drink.

In No Pain, No Game, Trent is tasked to jump over several skunks for his challenge. One of the skunks sprays him right in the face, causing him to collapse from the stench and lose the challenge.

In Search and Do Not Destroy, Gwen must retrieve her key out of a skunk hole. However, she has trouble doing so, as skunks freak her out. Noticing her distress, Trent helps her out by pouring water into the hole, causing the skunks to float out, and allowing Gwen to safely retrieve her key.

In Hide and Be Sneaky, Bridgette encounters a family of skunks while trying to hide from Chef. Nervously, she backs away, but her foot gets caught in a string of lights, and pulling too hard on them causes a barrel to fall over. The loud noise startles the skunks, and as a result, they spray Bridgette defensively. She smells bad for the rest of the episode, and her stench has a part in her elimination. After she is eliminated, Geoff is too repulsed by her smell to kiss her as she is leaving the Dock of Shame.
