HoppsLynx is the het ship between Judy Hopps and Pawbert Lynxley from the Zootopia fandom.
Canon[]
Judy and Pawbert first meet at the Zootenial gala. While trying to get a look at the Lynxley journal, Judy is approached by Pawbert. He comes off as socially awkward, but kind. Pawbert is excited upon learning Judy's identity, and praises her for the work she did on the case featured in the previous film. Nick Wilde watches on as Judy and Pawbert talk, and appears as though he might be jealous of Judy speaking with someone else.
Judy and Pawbert are separated when she and Nick are forced to go on the run from the ZPD. Pawbert's father, Milton Lynxley, demands the ZPD to capture Judy and Nick before they can reveal the truth about Tundratown. Pawbert is noticeably absent while all of this occurs. He later reunites with Judy at the abandoned honeymoon hotel. He and Gary De'Snake help to save Judy from the ZPD, convincing her to leave Nick behind rather than both of them ending up behind bars.
Pawbert takes Judy and Gary to his hideout in Sahara Square. There, the trio uncover the truth hidden on the cover of the journal, and create a plan to find the home of Gary's ancestors. They set off the next day, but the ZPD end up in hot pursuit. Judy realizes they must be tracking Pawbert's phone, and destroys it. The three of them enter the wall between Sahara Square and Tundratown, and turn on the power grid in the abandoned reptile zone. Once they find the beacon that will lead them there, however, Pawbert reveals his true colours and turns on Judy and Gary.
He throws Gary into the snow, and stabs Judy with a venom injector. He explains that all he wants is to be accepted by his family, and this is the only way that will happen. Judy begs him not to do this, telling him that he can still be a good person and that being accepted doesn't matter. Pawbert ignores her, leaving her to die while he seeks out Nick.
Nick and Pawbert tussle with each other atop the wall. Gary spots the venom antidote on Pawbert's belt, and yells at Nick to toss it down to save Judy. They manage to save Judy from the brink of death, and Judy then heads to the top of the wall to save Nick. Pawbert falls, landing in the snow below, but this does not stop him. Fueled by rage and madness, he heads for the beacon. Judy, Nick, and Gary manage to stop him, and Pawbert is arrested alongside the rest of the Lynxley family.
