Cupid is the Olympian God of love and passion whose main duty is to inspire love in others by shooting them with his magic arrows which can make anyone fall in love with the first person they see. He is the son of Aphrodite. He is voiced by Tom Arnold.
Appearance
Cupid as seen in the movie (left) and Cupid from the animated series (right)
In the film Cupid appears as a tall, teenage God with fuchsia colored skin and angelic wings, but in the animated series he is portrayed as a short, overweight, pink-skinned man with tiny wings and wearing a diaper. He also has a thin mustache and a gap in his teeth. A theory for this could be that he like his family the Olympians, are know to shapeshift, and if that's the case the animated version could be a transformation, and the film version of him could be his true form.

Cupid however wants to exchange his arrows for something that will help him forget Aphrodite's annoying theme song so Hercules suggested to give him some Lethean water from the Pool of Forgetfulness, and through a series of misadventures Cupid finally receives his water and forgets Aphrodite's a cursed theme song, sadly he also forgets and realizes with some shock and humiliation that he wears a diaper.
