He is first seen at the end of episode 2 of the 2003 series, where he starts to impersonate the tarnished Father Cornello. Out of all the Homunculi, Envy serves as the primary antagonist of the group. Whether Envy is male or genderless in their typical Homunculus form is unknown. Because of this, Envy, being based on Hohenheim's dead son, is male rather than being a genderless entity. In the first anime, Homunculi are based on failed Human Transmutations intended to bring the dead back. He is also more intelligent and deceitful than the manga version, and perhaps even the other Homunculi, as he manipulated Wrath into becoming obsessed with vengeance, so he could "run out and do what he is meant to do." Unlike most of the other homunculi, Envy has no desire for the Philosopher's Stone nor becoming human. It's speculated that this mental state could be the result of his psycological breakdown from the time he forces The Gate to take him to Earth, coupled with being stuck as a dragon for the past two years. In his dragon form, Envy shows little traits of his former personality and it appears that his behavior becomes more akin to that of a wild animal rather than the arrogant and cunning individual he once was: opting to roar and hiss at Edward rather than taunting him (despite his capacity for human speech), as well as making several reckless attempts on the young alchemst's life. While Envy also greatly resembles Hohenheim in his true form, he ops for a completely different appearance and even lies to Lust that he does not remember how he originally looked. Similarly, Envy displays hatred at any reminder of Hohenheim, even stating he cannot forgive Ed for being related to Hohenheim, and beating Pride into the ground for referring to him as Envy's father. This aforementioned hatred remained in Conqueror of Shamballa, with Dietlinde Eckhart stating that Hohenheim was the only means of keeping him under control Envy appears satisfied in finally achieving his life-long vendetta against his creator, despite knowing the risk of him being transmuted as well. This resentment was so great to the point where he threw himself into The Gate to personally kill Hohenheim. He is loyal towards his mother, Dante, and acts as her high-ranking enforcer throughout the series, despite being aware of Dante's true intentions of keeping the stone for herself.Įnvy has a singular desire to kill Hohenheim, due to the lack of acknowledgment of being his son and the abandonment he felt after his father saw him as an abomination. He has also clashed occasionally with the other homunculi (particularly Greed), and shows he has no love for any of his brethren's as well. Although he hates both of the Elric brothers due to their relation to Hohenheim, his animosity is geared mostly towards Edward (often mocking the alchemist's size, usually by calling him "Pipsqueak").Įnvy is a certifiably murderous, cruel, aggressive, manipulative, and sadistic psychopath, so he shows no remorse, is all too brutal and gleefully insane for all his actions, from killing Hughes to mortally wounding Ed. This incarnation of Envy is depicted as being jealous of the fatherly love Edward and Alphonse received from Hohenheim. He also has two green fins behind his neck (one on each side), six thin gray wings (three on each side), and his tail resembles those found on a sea serpent. Envy has dark-yellow spots on his face, on the sides of his eyes and muzzle.

Envy's eye color is still the same as his androgynous form, excluding the cat-slit pupils. The bottom half of Envy's serpentine body has a grayish-white under-belly, along with dark-gray spots touching parallel to the top-half. In his leviathan form, Envy's face and top-half of body is mostly green.

His true form has shoulder-length blond hair and golden eyes, much like his father and half-brothers, as well as sharing the same skin complexion as them. Envy's appearance is mostly the same as his manga counterpart, except with a more slender and agile physique along with dark green hair (rather than black or wispy).
