Shaw is the main antagonist of Sony Pictures Animation's 2006 feature film Open Season. He is a ruthless, cruel, sociopathic hunter who has a particular dislike for animals and very little regard for other people.
Shaw is a paranoid, mean-spirited, rude, hateful, violent sociopath. He has no regard for any life other than his own and is thus, a selfish, greedy, arrogant, vain, careless, and overall evil person. This is shown in the first film by his sadistic, heartless, and insensitive mounting many forest animals on his cabin wall and how he drove his truck recklessly to try and kill Elliot, almost hitting several people along the way.
He is very opprobrious, so he has no regards for the law, hunting in a national park and firing his gun into a crowd, despite being told by Gordy not to. This resulted in Shaw almost getting arrested by Gordy, but he managed to make a clean escape.
Shaw has a bizarre love for his gun Lorraine, talking to it and even offering it a blanket so it would not be cold. This proves he is a bit mental as he believes his own rifle to be a living being.
After a series of incidences, he begins to develop the paranoid belief that animals are becoming as smart as humans and are planning to overthrow mankind and take over the world.
In Open Season: Scared Silly, it is revealed that he has been longtime friends with Ed and Edna, who also serve as his henchmen. It is also revealed at the end that he is allergic to hornets.
