Sikes is the first Villain to receive a bounty, which he earned in the match Foodfighters - Villainous Vermin(Season XXIX, round 6) when he, along with a group of friends, decided to test his claw against Mike Oakheart, partly turning him to sawdust. The apothecary saved Mike Oakhearts hide - and armour value - but the valley coach was sufficiently miffed to stake the teams entire winnings on the future death of Sikes.
Sikes was chuffed with his accomplishment, and thankful for the soft target which enabled him to learn mighty blow.
