"Who's ready to get scrambled?"

Stew is a reporter chicken, making his debut in Crash Tag Team Racing. He works with Chick Gizzard Lips, although Stew tends to go off topic at times.

Crash Tag Team Racing
Stew, along with Chick, helps Crash Bandicoot with the adventure mode's tutorial section in Von Clutch's MotorWorld. The two commentators also have missions for Crash to unlock new cars for him. Stew rewards Crash the Yellow Horde car after finding the eggs from his unseen wife, whom he is scared of.

In cutscenes, Stew occasionally changes his hat or haircut when the camera cuts back to him.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
In Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, Stew rejoins Chick to announce new Grand Prixes and advertise various items available during the Grand Prix in CTR TV introduction videos. Stew was introduced as a playable racer as part of the Winter Festival Grand Prix. He can be purchased from the Pit Stop for 1500 Wumpa Coins.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
Stew has a cameo in It's About Time. He can be seen commentating on Coco and Nina's e-sports competition with Chick in Coco's 100% ending illustration. Oddly, Stew is portrayed with red hair here as opposed to his usual blue.

Personality
Stew is an excitable, constantly pumped rooster. He is the jokester in contrast to Chick's drier deliveries, and often makes bad puns.

Physical Appearance
Stew is a light cream feathered rooster. He has a tall curl of dark blue hair, sweeping back from the front of his head. He has light blue eyes, a blunt orange beak and yellow chicken legs with white claws. He wears a baby blue suit jacket with a shield symbol on the chest, with the letters "XYZ" emblazoned on it in red. He wears a white dress shirt underneath with a sea green tie, and also wears a blue-grey headset. He's usually seen carrying a grey microphone in his hand.

In Nitro-Fueled, his design sees minimal changes. His hair is now a much brighter shade of royal blue, his beak and feet are the same shade of pale yellow-orange and he no longer has claws on his toes. Also, the shield logo on his suit is much more defined and the buttons on his suit are much bigger.
