| == Personality ==
| | It seems to work using a [[wikipedia:pneumatic tube|pneumatic tube]]-like system, which the residents of LazyTown can use by inserting a message capsule, then pulling the attached lever to release a burst of compressed air that carries their message skyward towards [[Sportacus' airship]]. |

|
| Stingy, as his name implies, is the stingiest and greediest person in LazyTown. His catchphrase is "It's Mine!", which he says about almost everything, going as far as to having a song, [[The Mine Song]], where he claims that everything is LazyTown belongs to him. Most of the time, this is played for laughs or to the slight exasperation of his friends except in the episode '''''[[The Great Crystal Caper]]''''' where, after causing Sportacus to lose his crystal, Stingy finds and keeps it. He eventually gives it back and is deeply sorry and vows to try and do better at returning things that don't belong to him. His most prized possessions are his pink piggy-bank, simply called '''Piggy''', and his yellow toy-car, in which he can often be seen driving, or parked next to the Sports Field. Despite his greedy manner, he is a good friend who generally cares about them, and wouldn't let them down. He enjoys playing especially with his friends, but becomes hurt and angry, when he is excluded, or they don't want to play with him, as seen in '''''[[My Treehouse]]''''' when his friends exclude him from their "Friends Forever" club, on the basis that he can't work in a team (Later in the episode this is shown to be true, but he does immensely improve) he ties up the clubhouse with rope (While they are still inside!) and attempts to drag it away, he is stopped by Sportacus, who after asking him why, convinces the kids to let him join. He is very musical, with him shown on the Saxophone, Harmonica, Bass, and Recorder. He is great on roller-blades (Of which he owns many), and is quite good at soccer. He is very clean and hygienic (Owning ''many'' toothbrushes, and he even taught Ziggy how to brush his teeth!) As well as teaching the kids how important it is to clean up, and to keep everything tidy ('''''[[Trash Trouble]]''''').
| | The mail tube was first introduced in the episode ''[[Welcome to LazyTown]]'' where it had been clogged with a cork, supposedly by [[Robbie Rotten]]. |
| His best friend is shown to be Ziggy. At the end of '''''[[The Great Crystal Caper]]''''', [[Trixie]] kisses him.

| *According to '''''[[LazyTown's Greatest Hits]]''''', his favorite song is [[The Mine Song]]. | | *The mail tube and accompanying message capsules are decorated with red, white and blue stripes, the colour-scheme and pattern denoting [[wikipedia:airmail|Airmail]] in many countries. |

Well, no, but it might be my father's.") and Robbie's Robodog in '''''[[LazyTown's New Superhero]]''''' ("That dog is not mine!"). | |
