'''Weevil Underwood''', known as '''Insector Haga''' (インセクター{{Ruby|羽蛾|はが}} ''Insekutā Haga'') in the Japanese version, is a character in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' anime. He develops a rivalry and a jealousy towards [[Yugi Muto]] after he is defeated by him in the [[Duelist Kingdom]] tournament. He displays an adoration for insects, and as such his [[Deck]] is based on [[Insect]] monsters.

[[File:Haga Linework.jpg|180px|thumb|left|Weevil's design incorporates multiple layers of clothing and a wide range of expressions. Depicted here is the Duelist in the regalia from front and rear views and alongside views of his head from different angles as well as close ups of his glasses.]]

Weevil's character design was overseen by [[Kazuki Takahashi]]. He is a short boy with blue eyes and turquoise hair arranged in a "Beatles' Haircut" fashion. He is often seen wearing a pair of round yellow eyeglasses, which appear to magnify his eyes.

During the [[Duelist Kingdom (arc)|Duelist Kingdom]] arc, Weevil wears a pair of eyeglasses with an insect horn in the middle to connect the lenses. His outfit consists green jacket with a raised collar, a white shirt underneath, a red bow tie, brown trousers, and brown shoes.

 

In later subsequent appearances, Weevil's outfit changes drastically. His eyeglasses are adorned a beetle in the middle He wears a closed green jacket with a beetle pattern on the front, black shorts, and green-and-black sneakers with wing shoe laces. He carries a [[KaibaCorp]] [[Duel Disk]] on his left arm; in the [[Waking the Dragons]] arc, he carries a [[Chaos Duel Disk]] instead.

 

Initially, when Weevil first appeared on-screen, he is shown to be a humble and respectful person; however, this was shown to be an act when he is revealed to be a sneaky, conniving, and dishonorable [[Duelist]] who performs underhanded tactics in order to achieve victory, even going so far as to get rid of his opponent's cards including Yugi's "[[Exodia]]" cards. He is also a cheater who secretly concocts schemes to gain an unfair advantage against the opponent right before challenging them to a [[Duel]].

 

In conjunction with the above-mentioned personality, Weevil is also shown to be overconfident with his schemes and the power of his Insect monsters. His hubris also causes him to overlook certain details in his plan that causes it to backfire on him, which ultimately leads to his defeat.

 

Following his defeat during the [[Duelist Kingdom]] and [[Battle City]] tournaments, Weevil becomes jealous of Yugi and holds a grudge against him due to losing most of his popularity. Because of this, he becomes bent on taking revenge against Yugi by attempting to steal the powerful [[Egyptian God]] cards in his possession, but always meets with failure. This desire leads him and [[Rex Raptor]] to follow Yugi and his friends to America, believing they would receive rare cards after they were invited by [[Maximillion Pegasus]]. After witnessing [[Rafael]] defeat [[Yami Yugi]] in a Duel, Weevil immediately joins [[Paradius]], believing that the power of the [[Orichalcos]] would provide him with the solution to get his revenge against Yugi.

In the Singaporean English dub, Weevil speaks with a voice similar to that of [[wikipedia:Peter Lorre|Peter Lorre]].

His Japanese title, "Insector", is a play on his adoration for insects and his Insect Deck. His surname, "Haga" (羽蛾) literally means "Winged Moth", referring to his first ace monster, "[[Great Moth (anime)|Great Moth]]". It can also be played on the word "Hakazu" (剥がす) which means "to peel off", referring to the many types of insects that go through molting during their life cycle.

In the English dubbed anime, his given name is based on a [[wikipedia:Weevil|weevil]], a small beetle with an elongated snout. The weevil is known for being a pest who destroys crops, which reflects his personality. His surname "Underwood" is a play on "under the wood", possibly to compliment his Insect Deck.

In the Spanish dubbed anime, he retains his English dubbed name; however, in his first appearance, a narrator mentions that his nickname is "El Gusano Peleón", meaning "the fighting worm"). From then on, he is referred to simply as "El Gusano", meaning "the worm".

 

Weevil possesses an arsenal of bug-themed gadgets, including a spider-shaped gun that shoots sticky slime, and a ladybug-themed remote listening device.

Upon meeting Yugi and his friends, he seemed a humble and respectful person, in contrast to the bold and arrogant Rex Raptor. However, he quickly revealed himself to be underhanded and sneaky (while Rex Raptor, ironically, shows decent sportsmanship and plays fairly). On the boat ride to the tournament, he confronts [[Yugi Muto]] and asks to see his set of "[[Exodia]]" cards. Upon seeing them, Weevil takes them and chucks them off the boat, leaving [[Joey Wheeler]] to jump in to retrieve them. Laughing, Weevil returns to his cabin, confident that he has destroyed his major source of competition.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|3|ref}}</ref> Yugi defeats him in the first duel of the tournament,<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|4|ref}}</ref> forcing Weevil to be the first duelist to leave the island along with the others who had been defeated in their first round.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|8|ref}}</ref>

Their last attempt at revenge was to steal the [[Egyptian God Cards]] where they mistakenly grabbed Yugi's bag containing all of his [[Millennium Items]]. Yugi tried to stop them, but couldn't catch up. Meanwhile, while examining their prize, they were sent to the Shadow Realm by [[Yami Bakura]], who stole the [[Millennium Ring]] back from them afterwards. While Zorc's rampage over Ancient Egypt was in full swing, the events then were affecting the modern world as well- where Weevil was shown chasing his deck which was blown away by the wind. After Zorc's defeat, he was also seen.
