Scatter was a chimpanzee that Elvis bought in 1961. He had previously been owned by a Memphis TV personality, Captain Bill Killebrew. Scatter hung out with Elvis and his friends, and Scatter even wore his own human-like clothes. Scatter allegedly liked to drink alcohol and make a ruckus. The chimp's behavior eventually declined, and he became harder to manage. One day, Scatter ran away from Elvis and into producer Samuel Goldwyn's office, which he then destroyed. Scatter was escorted out by security and then sent home to live out his days at Graceland.
Some stories say Scatter died of cirrhosis of the liver. Others say the servants got tired of Scatter attacking them, so they poisoned him. Scatter is allegedly buried in the backyard at Graceland near his master's final resting place.
