Origins[]
Claire de Room is a stink beetle originating from deep swamps. She was a performer and presumable an actress who used her stink abilities as part of her act. Wilton Flowers of The Odor-Lando Scent-inel stated “Her performance is a real gas!”. She seemed to have had a starring role in the play, "A Stinkbug Named Desire" within the theatre below the Tree of Life on Discovery Island.
It's Tough To Be a Bug![]
Claire was one of the performers in Flik's show, "It's Tough to be a Bug!" in the Tree of Life Theater. The point of this show was to encourage humans (shrunken to see the performance) a better perception of bugs for better inter-species relations. During her act, she released her odors before guests could put in nose plugs, causing the theater to be flooded with her gas.
