I know that this topic has been brought up several times, but not about Niju. I'm going to show some valid points on how Niju is a very odd character.

1. the whiskers.

(sorry if this picture doesn't show the whiskers very good). Anyways, it's true, most real/wolves from Balto don't have long whiskers like he does. of course, real wolves have whiskers but are not very visible. as for Balto, he doesn't even have whiskers in the first movie!

2. the colors.

Niju doesn't have very 'wolf like' colors and is considered unrealistic. I,myself, love the color choices but they aren't as good as they could have been. the sand blue color especially ruined his wolf like place in the movie.

3.the very badly made fades.

i have seen, that many fans get mixed up with what colors he has... i know, you don't want to hear about colors anymore but let me mention it this final time. people don't know if Niju is black on the outside or very dark brown. the true color of him is brown, but many can't see that. also, his eye's are sometimes thought to be yellow or white (not the pupil but the other part of his eye.). this image looks black but that's because it's night in the image.

4. the voice actor.

it's sort of weird that a famous actor like Mark Hamill would play such an odd character in Balto. besides, does Niju really sound like Mark Hamill? i don't think so.

5. his claws.

i don't think his claws look mush like the rest of the wolves. this may be, because he's unique. still, it's a little odd and you have to agree it looks a bit like Scar's paws from The lion king.

yep that's it folks..........

well, that's really all that must be said about Niju. personally, i loved Niju and think these oddities make him unique. if you have another odditie about Niju you would like to share please comment or reply.
