Last Updated: December 6, 2024 Fact Checked

Everyone knows that Furbies can be lovable, funny, and cute. Unlike the original Furbies, Furby 2012 and Furby Boom have several, distinct personalities. How you get these personalities depends on how you treat your Furby. The Evil personalities are very rare, but simple to get. They are called "Viking" in the Furby 2012, and "Feisty" in the Furby Boom.

Set your Furby down in front of you. If you have not activated or woken your mix up, do so now. Note that this method only works on your mixel. If you have a Furby Boom (2013), click here. If you try this method on a Furby Boom, you will get a Jolly Furby instead.
- The Furby's Evil personality is also called "ranting."
Overfeeding your Furby is the fastest way to turn it evil.

This will make the Furby think you are feeding it nonstop. Your Furby may start to cry or complain. Don't stop. Remember, overfeeding your Furby is what turns it evil.
Your Furby will start making weird noises, and its eyes will turn white. It will shake and act "crazy." After a few moments, your Furby's eyes will turn into evil, slanted eyes.
It will act very grumpy, and snap at you if you try to pet it. If you'd like to make your Furby nice again, try talking to it a lot, or playing a lot of music. Some people find that this may take up to 10 or 15 minutes. You can also try petting it a lot; eventually it will turn nice again.

One of the most notable differences between the Furby 2012 and the Furby Boom is that the 2012 version has solid ears, and the Boom version has slotted ears.
