Slimy Sammy (initially known as Super Sammy) is Perfect Peter's so-called 'pen pal' who is from France. He tries to use Horrid Henry and get him in trouble. He tries to steal Peter's stamp album, but Mum catches him red-handed just as he was about to run away with Peter's stamp collection, subsequently sending him back home to his parents offscreen.
Aidan Cook voices him.
Appearances[]
In "Perfect Peter's Pen Pal", he was best friends with Peter until he turned on him and tried to escape with his stamps. He also had other pen pals in the past and were friends with them, though he revealed he turned against them as well by stealing their toys and gets away with it. Mum stopped him from escaping with Peter’s stamps and sent Sammy back to his parents in disgrace.
As an uncredited background character[]
In Series 4, his character design was reused as an unnamed and unvoiced student at Ashton Primary School in "Horrid Henry Eco Warrior". He replaces Spotless Sam in the Best Boys Club in this episode for unknown reasons.
He makes cameo appearances in the assemblies in "Horrid Henry and the Horrid Hat" (but with a different body shape) and in "Horrid Henry's Class Action".
Description[]
Sammy has brown hair and pale skin. He wears a red coat with a white shirt underneath, a red bow-tie, grey trousers, and brown Chelsea boots.
Personality[]
Sammy first appeared to be polite, but in the end, he was actually kleptomaniac and he wanted friends only for the things that he desired. He gets Henry in trouble a lot during his stay at Henry's House.
Peter and Sammy do have a lot in common which mainly is getting Henry into trouble, but Peter only tells on Henry when he’s horrid to him. On the other hand, Sammy does have some in common with Henry. They both like action figures and comics, though Sammy has an interest in stamps which Henry dislikes.
Sammy plays tricks in Peter and Henry’s house as he knows Henry can easily get blamed for it and would most likely blame Henry purposefully for it if Mum thought it was Peter which is impossible.
Trivia[]
- Slimy Sammy, Perfect Peter, Miss Battle-Axe, and Mrs Crunch are the only other characters besides Henry who have transformed.
- Slimy Sammy and Mrs Crunch are the only characters to transform in Henry's imagination, whenever Henry transforms.
- Sammy's plan of escaping isn't thoroughly explained as he attempts to leave the house without any method of transportation, given he is around Peter's age and presumably wouldn't get far.
