Scroop

Scroop is the main antagonist from Disney's 2002 film Treasure Planet. He is an alien spider/crab-like creature who attempts to stage a mutiny on the ship. He was voiced by Michael Wincott.

Role in the film
He first appears when the ship's cabin boy, Jim Hawkins accidentally eavesdrops on the crews's plans for a mutiny. Scroop discovers the boy and attempts to kill him, but the captain, John Silver comes into the room and stops him. Mr. Arrow then scolds Scroop for his behavior, and when Mr. Arrow turns around, the wicked alien makes a deep scowling face, foreshadowing Mr. Arrows upcoming fate.

Later, during a supernova, Captain Amelia assigns Jim Hawkins to secure everyone's lifelines. Scroop cuts Mr. Arrow's rope and sends him flying to his death in the black hole. Scroop then sadly tells the news to Captain Amelia who blames Jim for Mr. Arrow's death. When Silver comforts Jim, Scroop senses a weakness in the cyborg, and decides to take advantage of it. While the crew talks about the mutiny, Scroop harasses Silver in front of the alien pirates about his soft spot, but Silver insists that he does not. Jim, who is hiding in a barrel, hears this, not knowing that Silver was just trying to save himself from Scroop's wrath.

Scroop's final scene is when Jim, B.E.N, and Morph are trying to retrieve the map on the R.L.S Legacy. Scroop chases and fights Jim, but Ben (accidently) saves Jim by pulling the gravitation wire of the ship, sending the wicked alien to his death in the void of space.

Trivia

 * The way Scroop kills Mr. Arrow is very similar to what Scar does to Mufasa in The Lion King. Both Scar and Scroop revealed their evil selves to their victims, and blamed their deaths on the heroes.
 * Due to the fact that Silver has a soft spot for Jim, and that Scroop is more evil, he turns out to be a better antagonist for the film, than John Silver.
