About

An arrogant and spiteful boy who takes pride in his intellect and scientific achievement, Terrance believes his fellow students are insolent "plebeians" who are below him, more concerned about science than human safety. He was the boys' rival at the South Park Elementary Science Fair in the third grade, working with Bill Allen and Fosse McDonald to clone a human, an experiment that lead to his father spawning the Evil Clone Stan, whom Terrance freed arrogantly and set on a rampage. Since his failed attempt against the boys, Terrance has receded from prominence, but has recently joined their game of Cowboys and Indians with his own contraption.

Memorable Quotes

"Hey dumbasses. You morons give up on your stupid science fair project yet?" (An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig)
"Boys, Mr. Garrison, fellow students, for our science fair project Bill, Fosse, and I have spawned a creature genetically far superior to man. I present to you, the five-assed monkey." (An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig)
"My vengeance set me free." (South Park: Phone Destroyer)

Family

Terrance's father is South Park's resident mad scientist, Dr. Mephesto, and Mephesto's adopted son Kevin is therefore Terrance's brother. He looks up to his father fondly and believes him to be the best. His mother has not been seen to date.

Close Friends

Terrance is often flocked by his two henchmen, Bill and Fosse, who help him out with his science project. The script refers to all three boys as 'nerdy'.

In "World Wide Recorder Concert", he spends much of the episode in close proximity to Red, suggesting they are friends or may have been dating, and they sing with Kevin Stoley in the film.

Rivals

Terrance was the boys' original rival, before Craig and Those Guys came to the forefront, and while we're not sure what he thinks of them now, it's probably not too nice.

Possible Residence

Dr. Mephesto has always been seen at the South Park Genetic Engineering Ranch, usually with his assistant Kevin, but Terrance has only been seen there once. The place has therefore been implied strongly to be the former's residence (though no 'living space' outside the laboratory has been seen) although whether or not Terrance works or resides there is speculative.

South Park: Phone Destroyer

He is a rare character in the mobile game, where he uses a small device with spinning blades and large engines to perform as "an aerial bomber who deals heavy damage". He was one of the first characters revealed. He also appears during the Character Creation process in his father's laboratory, alongside his brother Kevin.

Matt Stone recorded new dialogue for the character in this game, but his voice is pitched down, similarly to Fosse McDonald.

Bonus Factoids

While Terrance makes cameo appearances in the background of various scenes to this day, he has only ever spoken in "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig".
- His biggest cameos were in "Raisins", where he filled in for Token Black in the kids' football game at the conclusion, and "Breast Cancer Show Ever", where he is one of the many kids cheering.

 ==About==
-Terrence is an arrogant, spiteful boy at [[South Park Elementary]] who takes pride in his intellect and scientific achievement, but believes many of the other students to be below him as a result. He is far more concerned about science than human safety. He was a rival of the boys who participated against them in the South Park Elementary Science Fair early in the third grade, working with [[Bill Allen]] and [[Fosse McDonald]] to clone a human. He and [[Dr. Alphonse Mephesto|his father]] successfully engineered a human foot and later [[Evil Clone Stan]] who Terrence arrogantly freed despite his father's wishes. The clone rampaged across the town before his father killed it. Since his failed attempt against the boys, Terrence has largely receded to the background, though he does make prominent cameo appearances from time-to-time.
