Stripe is Craig Tucker's pet guinea pig. His first on-screen appearance was in South Park: The Fractured But Whole.
Background
It is revealed in South Park: The Fractured But Whole that Craig has had 4 guinea pigs named Stripe; the Stripe he has now (Stripe #4) was given to him by his boyfriend, Tweek, presumably because the other ones either died or ran away.
Stripe #1 died when Craig's mom accidentally stepped on him, and broke his back.
Craig suspects his dad of poisoning Stripe #3 after he pooped in the dining room. It is also revealed that Stripe #3 died very recently, due to the fact that Craig still has (#3)'s toys and food dish tucked away in his closet.
Stripe also plays a larger role in South Park: The Fractured But Whole as a part of one of Super Craig's Ultimate attacks. He also exists as one of the items that needed to be retrieved before you can get Craig's laptop.
