History Characters / HousepetsDenizensOfHeaven

* GreatGazoo: It's possible Great Kitsune's name is a pun on the TropeNamer. Kitsune uses his powers in ways that mostly amuse him and annoy other people, and is possible of intensely powerful reality warping.

[[folder:Demon ('''SPOILERS UNMARKED''')]]
!!Demon / 'Breel' / Negabreel / "Enby"

[[quoteright:290:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wad_52.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:290:[[labelnote:Click here to see his Demon form.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2_4.PNG[[/labelnote]]]]

A demon that attaches himself to Keene during his time in ''The Bad Place'' and is eager to help him. Takes the form of a small dinosaur.

After being let loose on Earth, Eudoant restores his memory and form to reveal who he truly is; Breel's sins and vices, made manifest and now dead set on making sure ThereCanBeOnlyOne.

[[folder:Heaven ('''SPOILERS''')]]
!!Spring and Summer (Huskies)
A pair of huskies in Heaven. They take a liking to Fox when he's there temporarily with King while the latter sought an audience with Bahamut regarding his fate.

* LoveTranscendsSpacetime: After Fox forgets about them, they figure out a way to remind him by sending a message back to Earth through Keene. Later, after they provide help during Temple Crashers 2, they promise Fox they'll see each other again real soon...and then clarify that they'll be visiting him, rather than him dying.
** Later on, in "Heavendropper", he refers to them as his "girlfriends".
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Spring realized she had been fraternizing with mortal Fox a bit too much, as it led to him desiring not to leave Heaven in the Heckraiser/Heavendropper arcs.

!!Winter (Husky)
Winter is the future of Fox, after having lived a long life. He is the real lover of Spring and Summer; they got together with mortal Fox during King's visit just to have some fun with him.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Winter has several large scars, suggesting Fox has some serious battles ahead, whether with the K-9's or otherwise.
* TemporalParadox: Apparently, since Heaven is timeless, ''everyone who ever lived'' is already there. They only make sure mortals who are brought there don't meet their Heavenly selves; what Spring referred to as a "causality violation". They made an exception in Fox's case so he could talk some sense into himself.

!!Keene's Mother (Ferret)
The unnamed birth mother of Keene. Briefly reunites with her son when he prematurely dies in the Four Animals You Meet In Heaven arc.
----
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Played with. Keene clearly loves and misses her dearly going by his reaction to meeting her again in Heaven, but he also points out she was a store ferret and couldn't do things like cook for her children due to lack of knowledge.

!!Henry Milton (Formerly Human, currently Ferret)
The deceased multi-billionaire that owned the Milton Ferrets, and founder of Babylon Gardens, who strived to equalize relationships between humans and animals. His human form is unknown, as when finally making an appearance during Keene's premature death, he's seen as a ferret wearing spectacles.
----
* AttractiveBentSpecies: Flirts with Keene's Mother when they meet, who responds with a wink.
* BetterWithNonHumanCompany: Implied. He left no money to his human heirs, but chose instead to leave everything to the ''six'' ferrets he owned. In Heaven, he chooses to take the form of a ferret over a human, clearly showing immense love for them.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Willingly chose his heavenly form; in his own words, "Why '''wouldn't''' [he] be a ferret?"

[[folder: Rufus Sandwich (Australian Shepherd)]]

[[quoteright:117:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wad_0.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:117:''Sometimes we do get a last last-second second chance.'']]

A dog who lived with Earl's brother, Reuben, on a farm, and pre-dated Reuben as resident of said farm. He died of old age before the Temple Crashers 2 mega-arc, and is now one of the denizens of Heaven.
----
* AngelicTransformation: After his death, Rufus ascends to an angel, complete with HolyHalo.
* BlackComedyPetDeath: Owing in part to the proven existence of Heaven, Rufus' death is treated with some comedy as Grape repeats a gag from his first appearance by taking every euphemism for death he uses entirely literally.
* TheBusCameBack: He finally shows up again in the second Temple Crashers arc.
* BusCrash: He's since died from old age and makes his reappearance as a denizen of Heaven who's visiting Earth. Though not without a lot of backstory.
* CountryCousin: To Grape and Peanut. Rufus lives on a farm a ways away from Babylon Gardens under their uncle Reuben, and they only get to see him once in life.
* DeathByNewberyMedal: Somewhat parodied. Rufus is a dog Max had a close tie with who dies to further his character. Aside from the fact that this is a ''sapient'' dog, DeathIsCheap, and he's able to come back to help out Max on two separate occasions.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Rufus is one of the few comic characters with heterochromia, having one green eye and one blue eye.
* FunetikAksent: Rufus' southern drawl is often written out in his dialogue.
* GrandRomanticGesture: Rufus considers a dead chicken ([[PredationIsNatural who are sapient in this universe]], mind you) to be a perfectly good offer in exchange for romance. He tells Peanut to try it on Grape, and in his Valentines Day card offers one to the reader as well.
** The ''[[https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2017/12/25/12-days-of-housepets/ 12 Days of Housepets]]'' Flash animation shows Lucretia being given one by Miles as part of a CensoredForComedy moment. It might be a wolf mating ritual that he picked up on.
* HolyHalo: Receives one upon death.
* InterspeciesAdoption: Although with no legal backing, Rufus was a father figure to Max and helped him find a better home after a bad experience on Rufus' farm.
* InterspeciesRomance: After death, Rufus hooks up with a Sabertooth Cat from thousands of years before his time.
* KilledOffscreen: Rufus' passing is never seen, but confirmed by his being an angel in his next appearance.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: [[spoiler:Thanks to the way heaven works, he returns temporarily to give one to Maxwell before he passes on for good.]]
* INeverGotAnyLetters: After helping Max get a family, Rufus spent years sending them letters checking up on them, none of which Max responded to. Rufus' response to this is sadness rather than anger, and when he dies he makes sure to see Max one or two final times.
* NoLongerWithUs: This is how him and Grape's first conversation went, in regards to his first owner. At first it was unintentional, then he did it deliberately, and now Grape seems to assume he's toying with her... when he has [[FailedASpotCheck a glowing halo on his head]].
* OldDog: Rufus is approaching death when Peanut and Grape meet him, and finally kicks it offscreen in between arcs.
* ParentalSubstitute: For Max's father, him having been a stray cat prior to meeting Rufus.
* PerpetualSmiler: In ''Temple Crashers 2'', Rufus spends the entire arc with a huge knowing smile plastered on his face, especially as he teases the rest of his crew with his own death.
* PlatonicKissing: Rufus kisses Max on the cheek, which is mistaken for romantic affection by the others until he's revealed to have been Max's father figure.
* PutOnABus: For the longest time his only appearances were during the Sandwichs' trip to his farm.
* SharedFamilyQuirks: His biography on the original website speculates he might be attracted to cats like his cousin Peanut, which is proven when he hooks up with one in death.
* SouthernGentleman: An entirely pleasant example. Rufus helps Peanut try to get with Grape, takes in Max as a kitten, and helps him find a home across the course of his own life.
* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler: His letters to Maxwell, though it looks like he's going to subvert this trope by giving Maxwell a second second chance.]]
* UnfinishedBusiness: Rufus considered his own to be seeing Max one final time, which he accomplished. He came back again later to help Max put to rest his own turmoil.

[[folder:"The bad place" ('''SPOILERS''')]]
!!Eudoant
The caretaker of ''The Bad Place'', which is essentially hell.
----
* AffablyEvil: For someone whose job it is to make people's lives miserable, he is surprisingly nice. He has something of a soft spot for Keene in particular.
* TheComicallySerious: Eudoant apparently has few qualms with doing silly things in earnest if it'll further his EvilPlan, such as donning a PaperThinDisguise and doing a fake accent ''without actually changing his appearance at all'' in order to pose as a normal person. The fact that [[CrazyEnoughToWork it actually works]] could mean he's simply very GenreSavvy, but it's still pretty comical regardless.
* DeadpanSnarker: Occassionally gets a snarky line in but does it with the same flat expression he always has.
* TheDevil: While the specifics of ''The Bad Place'' and its structure/hierarchy haven't been expanded on as of yet, Eudoant seems to call the shots there before anyone else, and explicitly introduces himself to Keene as ''a'' devil at the very least.
* NotSoStoic: Virtually always calm & collected, but he does have an outburst complete with CrossPoppingVeins when Steward accuses him of having no cool demonic powers.
* PaperThinDisguise: The disguise he uses to fool TSA and board a plane to Egypt consists of nothing but a ConspicuousTrenchcoat and a fake mustache.
* PunnyName: BetterTheDevilYouKnow than the devil ''Eudoant''.
* UnusualEars: Being a demon removed from any sort of earthly creature in design, he as two sets of ears.

!! The Forgotten
''Something'' that seemingly exist on the border between earth and The Bad Place.
----

* EldritchAbomination: Tarot just referred to it as an ''Abstract Concept With Ultimate Power'' and it looks like [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2018/01/22/lest-you-forget/ This]].

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: At least the gods and demons look vaguely animal-like...

* GameFace: On Lois' request, he reveals a larger and scarier form with red markings along his body and Hoshi No Tama between his tails. He pulls this body again in much larger form during his battle against Eudoant.

* HandBlast: A power Kitsune demonstrates while battling Eudoant.

* MesACrowd: While fighting Eudoant, Kitsune spawns multiple smaller clones of himself to evacuate humans out of the way of a building he's about to crash into.

* TimeStandsStill: A power Kitsune demonstrates while battling Eudoant. Interestingly, he uses it to freeze ''himself'' (and presumably Eudoant) mid-fall, while smaller versions of himself evacuate the building, and then unfreezes it so he can land safely on it.

* MarkedTransformation: Kitsune's larger Kaiju form comes with red markings along his body similar to Tarot's souped up form.

* LivingStatue: How he appears to King after he first meets him. King assumes the statue is inanimate, until Kitsune reveals he can possess it at any time.\

* LivingStatue: How he appears to King after he first meets him. King assumes the statue is inanimate, until Kitsune reveals he can possess it at any time.
