* AdaptationalDumbass: Their ''Wubbulous World'' incarnations tend to be depicted as clumsy louts who talk in HulkSpeak.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original book they are largely just mischievous fellow cynics who try to get rid of the clover along with the other animals. In the 2008 movie, they are conveyed as more sadistic thugs (if not to quite the same level exaggeration as the kangaroo and Vlad).
* EvenEvilHasStandards: In the 2008 movie. While far more sadistic and eager to harm Horton, when they discover the Whos are real and they almost unknowingly killed an entire civilisation, they instantly back down from their job and refuse to obey the Sour Kangaroo, even shooting her one hell of a DeathGlare.
* PunchClockVillain: Most adaptations interpret them as mooks hired to do the kangaroo's dirty work. Jane sometimes re-enlists them in ''Wubbulous World'' though they also sometimes do grunt work for other characters such as Yertle the Turtle.
* PsychoForHire: PlayedForLaughs in the 2008 movie. Not as blatantly as Vlad (as he himself insists), but they clearly enjoy their work, and even express disappointment when the kangaroo suggests a less harmful approach if Horton cooperates.

* KarmaHoudini: Out of the three antagonists in the Horton books, she is the only one to not receive a comeuppance of any kind, though at least has a HeelRealization in the 2008 movie. Subverted in ''Wubbulous World'', where most of her worst actions backfire onto her or lead to a remorseful moment.

* AdaptationalVillainy: The 2008 film by contrast makes her a far more sadistic tyrant, with Horton not her only target of abuse, and while she does undergo the same HeelFaceTurn after discovering about the Whos, it's not before she tries to hide the truth from the other animals to save face.
