On one hand, having him as an alt for Bandana Dee would be weird if they had the same special. I know Spear Dees were a thing first, but they haven't been around in years and the parasol is way more iconic.
On the other hand, making him a separate character would make dumbasses complain that he's """wasting""" a """""slot""""", even though he'd take like a week tops to implement.
