Flash is a three-toed sloth who works for Zootopia's Department of Mammal Vehicles.  A very friendly, easy-going (and outgoing) fellow, who takes his job very seriously, he has developed a substantial network of friends from many mammal species, in spite of his working for a municipal department which gets bogged down by the bureaucracy of the department, and the relatively slow and deliberate speed of its employees (which are all sloths).  And, as it turns out, he is very close friends with Nick Wilde, who has a nickname for him: "Flash Flash Hundred-Yard Dash", which is a playful dig at how slow he is...even though ol' Flash is considered to be the fastest worker in the whole department.  His work station is immaculate, and he likes to keep his favorite coffee mug close at hand (which has the snarky phrase "You want it WHEN?" printed on it).

Flash helps ZPD officer Judy Hopps (on Nick's recommendation) to run a license plate number, which she needs assistance with because she is unable to access that information herself in the police station.  It is a key piece of information she needs to uncover during her investigation of the disappearance of Emmitt Otterton.

But Flash also has a guilty pleasure he often partakes of: drag racing.  He has a fast muscle car which he is often seen racing around the city with (though the citizens rarely see him in the car, as it has heavily-tinted windows).  For a sloth, racing around at high speed in a fast car must be like moving at light speed!

Flash also appears to have a borderline romantic relationship with his co-worker, Priscilla.  At Gazelle's concert, he is seen dancing with her, and the two of them are very social at work.

Full Name: Flash Slothmore

Species: Three-toed Sloth

Design Inspiration/Influences: None

Appearance: Flash has the average body dimensions and posture (a constantly stooped posture) for a three-toed sloth.  He has rough, dark gray fur (which is intermingled with light gray fur)...including a parted tuft of very dark gray fur on his head, parted down the middle; face has light gray fur except for a dark gray mask and muzzle.  Also, typical of his species, he has long, heavy and sharp claws on all his paws.  His facial expression is friendly and genial, though he has a perpetually droopy eyelids (another common trait of his species).  Flash wears very typical "business casual" attire, which probably changes from day to day: in the movie, he is seen wearing a light green, short-sleeved dress shirt, a silk tie (with alternating dark blue, orange and yellow stripes) with a gold tie pin, khaki dress pants and a light blue cloth belt with dark blue border stripes.

Personality: Outgoing, charming and very professional in his demeanor at work (at the Department of Mammal Vehicles), affable, gentle and soft-spoken.  As with all sloths, he moves and speaks at a very slow and deliberate pace, which can frustrate and confuse other mammals.
