What's Lee's problem?

I had this question regarding the first movie, as well... why does Lee change into basically whoever he sees? He starts both this movie and Critters by saying that he can't find a body that fits, and then proceeds to change into everyone that stands in front of him for more than a few seconds. In the first movie, he changes in Jeff, the cop; the preacher; and then Charlie. In the second movie, he turns into a fine-lookin' Playboy Playmate; the Hungry Heifer manager; then tries to turn into Freddie Kruger, only to be stopped mid-change and turn back into the Playmate. What's the deal? Ug chose one body and stuck with it, why can't Lee?

Of course, with Lee's monosyllabic, broken speech, I'd have to assume he's kind of a simpleton... good at bounty hunting, but not much else. Any other opinions?

Well Ug chose it cause it fited him while Lee wasn't in the first movie, Lee is just a new bounty hunter he or she or whatever loved the playboy model body then when she saw the Nerd who complaint about damage costs, Lee gets upset for not being thanked for the good job she did so she decided to turn into the nerd. Thank god that she turned back into the playmate that was the right body for it.

Lee was in the first movie; who else was Ug's partner? He may have taken the face of Charlie, but the REAL Charlie joined the bounty hunters at the end of the first movie. Ug's partner is never referred to by name, but judging by the way he talked in the first movie, it's supposed to be the same character. For example, after Ug first chose Johnny Steele, and as they are landing on Earth, he tells his partner "Transform." to which the partner responds "Nothing likes me." Very much like Lee at the beginning of the second movie.

I believe it was the same character; in the first movie, I don't even think the sidekick had any lines other than his initial "Nothing likes me." line. He just randomly took on the persona of anyone he came across.

Regardless of whether it was the same character or not, Lee and whoever the sidekick was from the first movie had the same habit of turning into everyone they saw.

lee is in both 1 and 2. he has a problem finding a person to transform into that fits his personality. if u put the two bounty hunters names together u get ugglee or spell it the correct way and get ugly which they are ugly before they transform.

If only Critters was made by Orion instead of Newline then Lee could have turned into Robocop(rather than Freddy) and *spoilers* survived

My question is what is up with Lee's death? Hunt critters. Follow critters into alley. Find critters in alley...scream and die? Not very expert.

I always have my headcanon that she likes being female (I use female pronouns for Lee) and she just feels more comfortable as a woman.
