This doesn't really fit, it kinda just seems like Roadhog being asocial as usual.


** He isn't particularly fond of Mauga, if one of his interactions with him is anything to go by:
--> '"Mauga''': If it isn't my favorite piggie pal! Been up to no good lately?
'''Roadhog''': [[ShutUpHannibal I'm not your pal.]]

Adjustments to certain entries in the various folders for polishing reasons


* BewareTheQuietOnes: Not that he's shy or a pushover, he's just not a talker and prefers to maintain a reclusive and private lifestyle. When someone gives him too much lip or tries to rob him, then he will show them how dangerous he can be.

* CerebusRollercoaster: Roadhog often has some moments as a legitimate threat as a criminal when he's alone, but when he's with Junkrat, he's the straight man to Junkrat's wise guy. For example, in "Wasted Land", there isn't any comedic moments and Roadhog is nihilistically solemn until he meets Junkrat in the third act. In "Junkertown: The Plan", the short has plenty of moments of comedy with the duo.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite being a nihilistic psychopath who wants to inflict pain on the world as retribution for annexing him from the outback, he hates Junkertown for how it encourages lawlessness and its mistreatment of ALF veterans. Roadhog is only nice to those who are nice to him and (judging by the interactions) people prefer to work with Roadhog than Junkrat because he knows how to keep his mouth shut and he's shown to be respectful to Ana and Lucio.

* FatBastard: He's a violent and dangerously obese fat-ass of a man. Gameplay-wise, he's probably the most selfish of the Tank heroes, lacking any way to directly aid or protect the rest of his team.

* HandicappedBadass: He suffers from radiation poisoning, requiring him to inhale Hogdrogen to fight off its effects. He also appears to either have melanoma or is extremely close to developing it, judging by the gigantic moles on his sunburnt back.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he does has some rude quotes towards Junkrat, he also has moments showing he cares about his boss independent from his role as bodyguard. In "Wasted Land" he allows three thieves to escape after one of them offered money, scrap metal and weapons, given his reputation you'd expect him to kill them then take the items.
