Shang-Chi: 21 WTF Moments

9. Morris, The Faceless Chicken-Pig...Thing

How could anyone not immediately fall in love with Morris, Trevor Slattery's pet hundun - a winged, faceless creature from Chinese mythology that's basically a cross between a pig and a chicken?

Sadly there aren't any official images of Morris online so you'll have to take our word for it, but despite his lack of a face, Morris is just insanely adorable once you get over damn weird he looks.

Morris ends up helping guide Shang-Chi, Katy, Xialing, and Trevor to Ta Lo, with Trevor having learned to communicate with the creature who doesn't appear to speak any human language.

This leads to the riotous gag where Trevor says Morris is 90% sure he can lead them safely through the maze, before being corrected by him that it's actually a paltry 19%.

This better not be the last we end up seeing of Morris. Given the obvious merchandising potential, it probably won't be. How about his own Disney+ short film series?
