History Characters / WinnieThePoohAntagonists

Heffalump and Woozle ''[[RealAfterAll in the flesh]]''. Bumbling gangster types who are constantly after the Hundred Acre Wood's honey supply. Appeared as recurring antagonists in ''New Adventures''.

Hulking, thuggish Woozle who only appeared in the New Adventures episode "The Great Honey Pot Robbery".

The most terrifying monster Pooh and friends have ever faced, lurking in the Skull Cave well into the Great Unknown of the Hundred Acre Wood. It has kidnapped Christopher Robin who was able to leave a distress note before it happened, and now hunts Pooh and his party as they set out to rescue Christopher.

* TheDreaded: The gang quickly becomes terrified of the monster and are given no reason to not be until the end of the movie when they learn it wasn't real. When they arrive at Skull and hesitate to enter due to not knowing what they'll find inside, Eeyore points out to the group that staying outside will only make them easy prey for the Skullasaurus, quickly convincing them to follow.

* NothingIsScarier: We never see the monster because it doesn't exist, but that's why it's so scary.

* SuperPersistentPredator: Once the group crosses into the Great Unknown, the Skullasaurus persistently pursues them for the remainder of their journey.

* PopGoesTheHuman: During the "Heffalumps and Woozles" musical number in ''The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'', a heffalump eats Pooh's honey with its trunk. As it eats, it expanding like a balloon until it pops after eating too much honey.

* CagedInsideAMonster: At the beginning of "There's No Camp Like Home" in "The New Adventures", Piglet has a nightmare about being chased by heffalumps and woozles, ending with him being behind bars inside a police heffalump's stomach.

[[folder: Bruno]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brono_the_monkey.png]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}}

A clockwork gorilla who appears in the ''New Adventures'' episode/segment, "Monkey See, Monkey Do Better". Initially appearing in a birthday box on Christopher Robin's bed, when the others unwrap him, he proceeds to proclaim himself "the best toy a kid could get" and proceeds to show them up by outdoing each and every one of them. Distraught, the others prepare to leave, only to find out that they misunderstood Christopher's words; he wasn't a present ''for'' Christopher, he was a present Christopher was going to ''give someone else''. Realizing his mistake, Bruno allows himself to be rewrapped in order to be sent on to his real home.

* CharacterCatchphrase: "The best toy" and "the best present a kid could get"; he repeats variants of these constantly throughout the episode.
* DrivenToSuicide: Yes, in a Pooh cartoon! Towards the episode's climax, Bruno hears Christopher telling the other toys that he's not keeping Bruno. The gorilla is so shocked and aghast at this that he proceeds to wander off into the Hundred Acre Wood and pulls out his key, slumping over on a log as he basically dies. He is found and rewound a few minutes later, but still, it's quite creepy.
* ExtremeOmnivore: When outdoing Pooh at gathering honey, Bruno eats the entire hive, waxy shell and all, then blows the bemused bees out of his ears.
* GaryStu: This is how he's seen InUniverse; no matter what Pooh and his friends try to do in order to prove they're special, Bruno outdoes them.
* HeroAntagonist: Bruno isn't really a villainous character, though he is kind of an arrogant jerk, but he drives the whole plot of the episode by scaring the other toys into believing Christopher Robin will get rid of them if they're not as special as Bruno is.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He's so assured he's the perfect toy that when he believes he's been rejected by Christopher Robin, he tries to deactivate himself in disillusionment.
* {{Jerkass}}: Not only is he full of himself, he belittles the other toys and gets them into challenges to prove his superiority to them.
* KillerGorilla: Not literally, but he still fits the spirit of the trope by being a gorilla who's a trouble-making antagonistic character.
* MeaningfulName: Not Bruno himself, but his episode; "monkey see, monkey do" is a now rather old-fashioned saying about mimicking someone else's talents or achievements. This monkey sees something done, and then goes out of his way to do it better.
* SmallNameBigEgo: His huge ego is his most defining trait; he manages to outdo ''Tigger'' at being full of himself. His sheer arrogance drives the whole plot of his episode, and when he hears that Christopher Robin apparently doesn't want him, he has a full-fledged breakdown that leaves him... well, see DrivenToSuicide.

[[folder: The Pack Rats]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_0471.png]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}}

A trio of rodents in ''New Adventures'' who compulsively steal anything that isn't nailed down, replacing it with a walnut as "payment". The gray one is the leader, the orange one is an overweight dimwit and the brown one has a slight attitude problem.

* AndYouThoughtItWasReal: They spend their time in "Oh, Bottle!" chasing a treasure map thinking it leads to real treasure, not realizing that Pooh and Christopher Robin were just playing pretend.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Pooh tells them, "When someone does something nice for you, you're supposed to do something nice for them. That's called friendship." So they do just that: [[spoiler:they save the other characters' possessions from the flood.]]
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They don’t see themselves as thieves because they leave a walnut behind. They also have to be taught the concept of generosity and still struggle to understand how it works.
* ButtMonkey: All of them, but especially the orange one, are prone getting knocked about.
* CallingCard: They leave walnuts in place of whatever they take.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each specific memeber of the group is colored a specific hue so you can easily tell them apart.
* FreudianTrio: The irascible brown one is the id, the balanced, in-charge gray one is the ego and the easy-going but long-suffering orange one is the superego.
* GoldfishPoopGang: They're even less intimidating than Stan and Heff!
* {{Harmless Villain}}s: Even by the standards of this show, they're pretty pathetic. They're not even really out to be bad, they just can't help but steal stuff.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: They can be quite helpful at times, but they can't fight the urge to continue stealing.
* HeroWithAnFInGood: In "The Rats Who Came to Dinner", they ''try'' to be good to others but are pretty clueless about how to do it.
* ImpossibleTheft: They're good at this. How can three tiny rats steal an entire household, furniture and all, in less than one night?
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In "Oh, Bottle!", after chasing a treasure map, thinking it leads to real treasure, they feel terrible learning that Pooh and the gang were planning to use it to save a friend.
* NoNameGiven: They have distinct personalities but not names.
* PunnyName: A pack rat is an American rodent that obsessively gathers various oddments in its nest. So, we have the "Pack Rats", who're actual rats who obsessively steal anything and everything that catches their eyes.
* RuleOfThree: They're always shown in a group of three, and they fit the standard "three characters" archetypes.
* StickyFingers: When something catches their eye, they feel the need to take it. Most of the stuff they don't even use. They just let it accumulate in their home and hoard it.
* TerribleTrio: They're three villains who're never seen apart from each other.
* TheUnintelligible: They often speak in a series of squeaks and chatters. Fortunately, [[TranslatorBuddy Gopher is a rodent himself and can translate]]. Though in "The Rats Who Came to Dinner", they have a limited grasp of English.
** Even then, one of their lines in "Nothing But the Tooth" is clearly "We have to get that tooth!" sped up in a manner similar to Chip 'n' Dale. In fact, all of their lines are sped up recordings of Jim Cummings.
* VillainDecay: Mild example, but the Pack Rats are slightly more threatening in their first appearance, "Nothing but the Tooth", than in the other two episodes featuring them.
* YouDirtyRat: They're rats who're compulsive thieves and villains, if minor ones.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}}

An army of green, caterpillar-like insects who are forever attempting to devour Rabbit's garden in the ''New Adventures'' series. Their unnamed leader wears a bicorn hat and epaulettes, evoking UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte, and affects the mannerisms of a general.

* BigEater: All of them love to gorge on Rabbit's vegetables. Especially the big bug from "The Bug Stops Here", who gets banished because he'd eat too much of their haul.

* TokenHeroicOrc: The big bug in "The Bug Stops Here" befriends Roo and Dexter and nicknamed "Science".
* TheUnintelligible: Much like the Packrats above, all of their lines are sped up gibberish done by Jim Cummings. Only a few instances of their lines are intelligible orders from their leader including "Retreat!" or "And stroke, stroke, stroke!"

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}}

The horrifying One Shot villain from the WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh episode "Cleanliness is Next to Impossible".

* KilledOffForReal: Both he and his minion Smudge get sucked into Christopher Robin's vacuum, making them the only characters in the entire ''Winnie the Pooh'' franchise to die permanently.

[[folder: Nasty Jack]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nasty_jack_1.jpg]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}}

The leader of the Horse Thieves, and a One-Shot villain from "Paw and Order".

[[folder: The Skullasaurus (unmarked spoilers)]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}}

The most terrifying monster Pooh and friends have ever faced, lurking in the Skull Cave well into the Great Unknown of the Hundred Acre Wood. It has kidnapped Christopher Robin who was able to leave a distress note before it happened, and now hunts Pooh and his party as they set out to rescue Christopher.

… Or so it would seem. In reality, the Skullasaurus doesn’t exist and is merely the sounds of Pooh’s rumbling tummy, overblown thanks to the gang’s fears and insecurities.

* ActuallyIAmHim: The group learns from Christopher Robin that the Skullasaurus isn’t real and the noises they’ve heard are just Pooh’s tummy rumbles.
* BigBad: The main antagonist of ''Pooh’s Grand Adventure'' who has seemingly kidnapped Christopher Robin, forcing the heroes to go after him. Even though it’s not seen and it’s revealed to not exist, the Skullasaurus is still the personification of the group’s fears and doubts that they must confront and defeat on their journey.
* TheDreaded: The gang quickly becomes terrified of the monster and are given no reason to not be until the end of the movie when they learn it wasn’t real. When they arrive at Skull and hesitate to enter due to not knowing what they’ll find inside, Eeyore points out to the group that staying outside will only make them easy prey for the Skullasaurus, quickly convincing them to follow.
* KnightOfCerebus: The threat of the Skullasaurus is perhaps the gravest threat to the group’s lives they’ve ever faced. Even the fact that it’s not real doesn’t change the fact that the plot set into motion by Christopher Robin leaving the Wood for school turns the film into the single darkest ''Pooh'' fiction, as it’s still responsible for the franchise’s heaviest storytelling and character development to date.
* NothingIsScarier: We never see the monster because it doesn’t exist, but that’s why it’s so scary.
* NoSell: Rabbit leading the group into the Forest of Thorns to try to lose it doesn’t work as it’s quickly heard in the distance.
* OutsideContextVillain: As it lurks in the Great Unknown where presumably no member of the Wood has ever gone, the group are unfamiliar with it and quickly become terrified of this very dangerous, unknown threat.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Once the group crosses into the Great Unknown, the Skullasaurus persistently pursues them for the remainder of their journey.
* TheUnseen: It’s never seen, only heard groaning and roaring as it hunts the gang - but that’s because it doesn’t exist.
* UnseenNoMore: The group minus Pooh ''thinks'' they’ve finally seen it during the climax when they witness the huge, frayed reflection of Pooh in the crystals.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: For a franchise that can be enjoyed by all ages all the way down to preschoolers, a huge, predatory monster constantly hunting the heroes is a pretty intimidating threat. Being a manifestation of the movie’s dark, dramatic tone instead of an actual monster arguably makes the prospect even more frightening.
* WalkingSpoiler: The central twist of the film is that it doesn’t exist, flipping most of the movie on its head.

[[folder: The Backson]]
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/download_28.jpeg]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Huell Howser

A creature that Owl imagines when being asked to read a note from Christopher Robin, ending up mistaking the words "back soon" for "Backson." First mentioned in ''The House at Pooh Corner,'' but made its animated debut (with [[AdaptationExpansion more detailed characterization]]) in the 2011 ''Winnie the Pooh'' film.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: The only thing we learn about the Backson in the novel is that it's busy with something, and that it may or may not be Spotted or Herbaceous. In the movie, we get a lot more (mis)information about the creature [[spoiler: and even see it in person]].
* AdaptationalVillainy: Of ''sorts.'' In the original novel, Owl and Rabbit just imagine him as a mysterious friend of Christopher Robin's, but in the Disney version Owl thinks he's an evil monster who's captured Christopher Robin. [[spoiler: Subverted when it turns out the real Backson is actually a NiceGuy.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler: He initially appears pretty fearsome, but it turns out he's a rather pleasant guy.]]
* DisneyAcidSequence: The Backson Song, in classic Disney tradition, involves lots of weird, out-there events and backdrops.
* EyesOutOfSight: His eyes are always covered by his hair.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: [[spoiler: Everything the characters blame the Backson to be committing during its musical sequence are rather unfantastical and mundane, such as "scribbling in all your books", getting you to sleep in, spilling your tea, interrupting your train of thought, and never saying "pardon" when it bumps into you. It's also averted, as they also claim that it chips your tooth and steals your youth!]]
* RealAfterAll: [[spoiler: The Backson makes an appearance in the post-credits stinger of the movie, but he seems to be a rather cheerful fellow.]]
* TheStinger: [[spoiler:The Backson stomps along through the woods, looking menacing, and then comes across the objects trail that Pooh and friends left, and cheerfully proclaims about how you can find so many interesting things in the woods. He sees the picture of himself, thinks everything must belong to the guy in the picture, and proceeds to pick up the items, leading right into the pit and falling into it.]]
* TheVillainSucksSong: The Backson Song, which is all about what a monstrous, evil fellow he is.
