The Cy-Bugs are a race of robotic bug-like creatures and are the tertiary antagonists in the 2012 Disney animated film Wreck-It Ralph. They serve as the generic enemies in the fictitious game Hero's Duty. Because of some of the failed programming of Hero's Duty, Cy-Bugs are unable to tell the difference between the game and real life, meaning they are truly malevolent creatures unlike other characters who are merely villains in their games only. This forces the heroes of Hero's Duty to constantly battle the bugs to prevent them from destroying the entire arcade. The Cy-Bugs are not only intimidating in appearance, but are also very powerful. For being evil not only in their roles, but actually being evil, they do not attend Bad-Anon. They do not speak unless they swallow someone who does. “Cy-Bugs are like a virus. They don't know they're in a game. All they know is eat, kill, multiply! Without a beacon to stop them, they'll consume Sugar Rush! But do you think they'll stop there?" "Yes!" "WRONG! Viruses do not stop! Once those Cy-Bugs finish off Sugar Rush, they'll invade every other game until this arcade is nothing but a smoking husk of forgotten dreams.” ―Sergeant Calhoun explaining Cy-Bugs to Fix-It Felix, Jr.
