Biography

Backstory

"Captain Gutt...really? You know, I have a little paunch too but ah, I wouldn't name myself after it."
"That's funny... you're a funny guy. But that's not how I got my name. These got me my name."
~Gutt to Manny on how his claws earned him the name "Gutt"~

Gutt, having undergone a rough relationship with his own parents back home, who never showed him much love or affection, chose instead to live out on the seas on a massive ice floe that he fashioned into a ship with the use of trees, rocks, and vines. Having established his ship, the ape found a number of animals that he had rescued and brought them aboard his ship, where, out of debt for saving their lives, they pledged themselves as his crew, Shira being appointed as Gutt's first mate, with Flynn as his second.

Gutt's crew went on aiding him in scouring the world for whatever fruits and vegetables, deemed their "bounty", they could find. Gutt felt that, as the world was changing and "going under", the only means of survival was to loot whatever he and his crew could to live and thrive out at sea. These animals the ape deemed his own family, though, due to his own strained relationship with his family, his temper remained volatile and harsh.

At some point in his life, the ape began to use his claws as weapons to gut foes, which earned him the name "Gutt".

Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)

"Ahoy, down there! How lucky of you! You know these waters are infested with pirates!"
―Gutt to Manny, Sid, Diego and Granny

Gutt and his crew captures Scrat out of screen, who was lost at sea, half-swallowed by a fish and had found a map of sorts, etched onto an acorn shell, which led to a land rife with acorns: Gutt and his crew forced the saber-tooth squirrel to board their ship as a captive. Later, the pirates forced Scrat to dance on the decks with the fish still attached.

Later his back is seen when a member of Gutt's crew, a blue-footed booby named Silas, brought news of other animals out at sea stranded on an ice floe: a mammoth, two ground sloths and a saber-tooth tiger. Registering this, Gutt declared that the four mammals' marooning in his waters was a tragic event, which he loved greatly. Taking action, and with the intent to enlist the mammals into his crew, Gutt set a course for the ice floe, where his crew latched onto the floe by flinging down skulls on vines so that they latched onto the ice floe.

After making his first physical appearance in the film, Gutt is climbing down the vines nonchalantly, called down to Manny, Sid, Diego and Sid's granny on the ice floe that the waters they were in were swarming with pirates and that they were fortunate to have been found by Gutt and his crew first. Explaining his motives, Gutt is mocked by one of the rats members of his team and throws the rodent into the water in annoyance before continuing. Gutt states that out at sea, there's no land and that their "ship" belongs to him. With that, Gutt orders his crew to attack the animals on the ice floe. Gutt himself manages to knock Manny unconscious with a large boulder of ice.

Gutt have an unconscious Manny tied to a large tree that formes his ship's mast. As Manny is coming to, Gutt appears and extends his foot as a "hand of friendship". The ape then explains his plans out at sea with the help of his crew in the form of a shanty: Gutt, proclaiming himself as the "master of the seas", had rescued all those "lost souls" in his cadre and recruited them as his own team of animals, sailing through the seas, taking whatever foods they could find as they would treasure.

Manny derides Gutt's name, to which the ape explains that it was not based on his stomach but rather his jagged sharp claws. got him the name "Gutt", with Sid not understanding Gutt's moniker. Gutt then demonstrats on Sid how he uses his claws to obtain his name: with the use of his sharpened claws, Gutt eviscerate other creatures, demonstrating it on Sid without harming him. Regardless of Gutt's offers, Manny turns the ape down, declaring that no one would stop his return to his family. Gutt's calm demeanor quickly disappears into a look of pure evil, stating to Manny that his family "will be the death of you." . The ape then tries to make them walk the plank in order to have them being eaten and killed by his narwhals. Gutt then orders his first mate Shira to prepare the plank for the castaways to be jettisoned off of, forcing them all to walk the plank off the ship and into the ocean, where angry narwhals awaited them, ordering Sid to go first. At that moment, Gutt halts the walk, to Sid's temporary relief, so that Granny would go first, offering his hand in an oily manner to help the old sloth move.

As the two are about to walk the plank, Manny, along with Diego, works out how to escape their bonds and topples the ship to the side, preventing the sloths from falling into the waters. Gutt notices this and angrily leaps forward, pulling out his sawfish skull blade and engaging Manny in a duel, in which Manny fight using his tusks. Manny gains the upper hand and brings the mast that he was tied to crashing down on the ship's deck, splitting the iceberg in half. Gutt himself helds on with his claws as the ship is split in two, lamenting his lost bounty of food as it fell into the ocean. As the ape held on, he spotts Manny and the others on the other side of the iceberg and snarls angrily. The ape helds onto a floe of ice that had once been his ship, along with the others in his crew, save for Shira, who is missing in action. Gutt then angrily calls out to Flynn, who thought he was drowning, that the seal is a sea creature and can't drown, before directing his ire towards Gupta, who suggests running himself as a white flag of peace, smacking the badger. Flynn then calls out that Shira is lost, but Gutt dismisses this, instead ordering Flynn to swim them all towards land.

Furious about the loss of his ship, Gutt and the remainder of his crew reaches an island and stoppes at Switch-back Cove, a bay they're familiar with in which they found enough ice to carve a new ship. Enslaving the native hyraxes to build the new ship and to bring more food aboard, Gutt lashes out at the small mammals with a whip fashioned from bones and vine, calling out for them to finish the ship by sunset or suffer.

The following day, Shira returna to her boss, having been kept as a captive by Manny and the others. Gutt puts on a falsely relieved attitude at seeing her alive when she reveals that she washed ashore with Manny and his friends. Gutt then eagerly asks her whether she caused the mammoth pain and suffering for his actions, but Shira responds that the saber in Manny's group impeded her. Upon hearing this, Gutt brands his first mate a failure, calling out that he needs a real action-worthy crew, instead only having "kitty cats and bunny rabbits". Gutt then orders Shira to bring the saber down or die in the attempt, relieving her of her rank as first mate and giving the position to Squint.

Shira, attempting to explain what Manny and the others had planned to Gutt, is interrupted by the sound of a conch horn, and Gutt, leaping forward with a spyglass fashioned from a conch shell, spotts a number of free hyraxes in the distance, rallied up to fight. Gutt, however, laughs derisively upon seeing their tiny size in the distance, but quickly stops laughing once he hears a second, louder trumpeting, which brings the silhouette of a mammoth: Manny. Gutt, filled with ire for what Manny had done, rallies his crew to action, rushing forward to do battle with them all, but calling Flynn out on his lack of a weapon, as the seal thought a spoon would be a useful weapon.

Gutt leads his crew into battle, armed to the teeth, and the animals reaches the mammoth, stopping cold in their tracks as the hyraxes fled the scene, flying off on leaves. Squint, who eyed Manny's apparent silhouette, rushes in with his blades to tear the mammoth to pieces: instead of a mammoth falling, a large melon with branches tied to its sides falls down. In anger, Gutt stomps the melon, destroying it as he spots the real Manny quickly making off with the ship. Gutt and his henchmen rapidly chases them, but Manny and his herd outrun them, reaching the ship first. Gutt whistles for his narwhals, who come quickly, and the ape jumps on their back, quick to resume the chase. Manny, however, tiltes a nearby ice floe on its side in the water, blocking the narwhals from reaching the herd. Gutt continues his chase, eventually reaching a long ledge where he run after the ship, only to be tripped up as Shira, in a turncoat move, pushes large ice blocks in Gutt's path, causing him to lose his footing and be launched into the air towards the ship. Gutt nearly have the ship in his grasp, but instead falls down hard on his back, landing on a patch of ice.

Enraged at having lost his ship again, Gutt's anger is stoked all the more as he watched the hyraxes and the herd taunting him at their escape. Gutt, however, quickly sets his sights on a giant ice wall. With a tremendous roar, he dislodgs a massive chunk of it with his bare hands, which quickly falls into the ocean and resurfaces. Gutt harshly orders his henchmeb to board at once and whistles once more for his narwhals, who stucks their tusks into the back of the ship and pushes it on.

Shira steps forward to apologize to Gutt, but Gutt don't want to hear any of it, declaring that, once he gets the herd, he will have a saber-tooth's skin hanging on his wall, regardless of whose it was implying that he will kill Shira for his betrayal. Gutt further declares that Manny had cost him his ship, along with his bounty and, to further it all, the loyalty of his crew. Setting a course for the continent, Gutt declares that he will destroy Manny, along with all that he loved. To crown his retribution against Manny, Gutt dubbs his new ship Sweet Revenge.

Gutt reaches the continent before the herd does and takes Manny's family, consisting of his wife Ellie and their daughter Peaches, hostage, along with all the other herds of animals that were led away from the continent by Ellie. Gutt helds a shark-tooth dagger to Peaches' throat, introducing his new ship, the Sweet Revenge, on which Ellie is tied up and restrained by Gutt's henchmen. Manny calls out to Gutt that he will willingly turn himself in if Peaches is spared, which Gutt dismisses, but regardless allows Manny to board the Sweet Revenge. Manny comes aboard Gutt's ship to exchange himself for his daughter, but Gutt goes back on his word, stating that Manny took everything from him and the evil Gigantopithecus intends to do the same. Manny tries to charge at Gutt, but Squint quickly lassoes him while the ape prepares to kill his whole family in front of his eyes.

Just as everything seems hopeless, at that moment, Louis stands up to the big ape, demanding that he release Peaches. Gutt, amused at Louis' gumption, accepts the challenge laughingly, ordering Gupta to let the molehog have his blade. Gutt then openly laughs at Louis, who can barely pull the blade out of the ice where it stands, but stopps his laughter once he sees that Louis pulled the blade out. Calling for Louis to fight, Gutt stands by, watching as Louis flang the blade into the air, where it fell into the ice: Louis instead burrowes through the ice towards Gutt, where he leapes out at once and smashes a heavy piece of ice on Gutt's foot, the pain making him release Peaches. Gutt calles for his henchmen to attack as Manny and Peaches escapes their bonds. During the fight, Gutt chases Diego into the masts and geta the upper hand as he, Raz and Dobson cornered Manny and Sid. Gutt stands ready to kill Manny, Diego and Shira when Precious, Granny's pet whale, appears from the waters and blasts away Silas, Flyinn, Raz and Dobson with spouts of water, Gutt dodging them, now not caring about his own team.

Ellie still remained tied up on the Sweet Revenge and Manny rushes in to save her, but he's stopped by Gutt, who cuts the mooring lines that connects the two ships. Dragging his clawed hand on the icy surface of the ship, Gutt moves closer to Ellie, but he's knocked aside by Peaches, who swangs on a vine and gives the evil Gigantopithecus a powerful swinging kick, knocking him into an ice wall on the Revenge.

Manny rushes in to escape with his family but Gutt blocks his path; the two stops in their tracks long enough to watch as massive chunks of the continent's cliffs comes down hard and fast into the oceans, bringing chunks of land surging up from the waters, which split the Sweet Revenge into pieces and lifts Manny and Gutt hundreds of feet high. As the ice chunk that they stands on slides down the ice, Gutt uses his sawfish skull blade and Gupta's tooth dagger, splitting the sword in half down the middle, and duels with Manny, having a mental breakdown declaring that the oceans are in his to control, and swings his sword at the mammoth, barely missing his eye.

Manny, however, takes briefly the upper hand and blocks Gutt from attacking by standing on his arms: Gutt then claws Manny's feet, breaks loose and jumps up, swinging on a passing branch and over a land bridge brought up from sea. Gutt landes a kick to Manny's face, and then takes out a heavy log to finish him off but Manny jumps onto the very back of the ice, acting like a seesaw, launching Gutt upwards. Manny catches the log and bats Gutt to the rock wall, sending the evil ape flying far away into the distance.

Gutt flies through the air, landing on an ice floe, where he laids in pain, watching as a number of fins swim past him. At that moment, something shining catches Gutt's eye: in front of Gutt there's a massive seashell where a female ape with flowing blonde hair lay has a bounty of fruits inside. The female ape calls out to Gutt that they can rule the seas together and Gutt, smitten, swim closer to the female ape, reaching the seashell.

At that, the female ape reveals her true nature: she's actually a siren casting an image and seizes Gutt by the face, pulling him into the shell as it snaps shut, trapping the Gigantopithecus inside as more sirens swim towards them.

It's currently unknown what happened to him eventually: he could have been successfully eaten by the sirens or he could have defeated them and then swimming towards land in safety.

Gutt dosen't phsycally appear still leaving his final fate unknown but he appears in a flashback that Squint has when he spots Manny, Sid and Diego and remembers what they did to them before planning revenge.
