19----
20* ActionDad: In the movie, when he and [[ActionMom Perdita]] fight Jasper and Horace.
21* AffectionateNickname: Roger affectionately refers to Pongo as "Pongo, ol' boy".

23* BattleCouple: With his wife, Perdita, when they tag team against Horace and Jasper.
24* BetaCouple: He and Perdita to Roger and Anita... Or vice versa.
25* BewareTheNiceOnes: Pongo is as charming and adorable as animated dogs can be. As long as you don't mess with his children.
26* CharacterNarrator: Pongo is the Narrator of the story up to the point his children are born.
27* DeathGlare: Gives a nasty one to Cruella when she tries to buy [[PapaWolf his puppies]].
28* DemotedToExtra: In the sequel due to Patch becoming the main protagonist, as well as in TV series since three of his children become the protagonists.
29* EvilDetectingDog: Judging by how Perdy runs away to hide when Cruella arrives in their home, Pongo ''immediately'' dislikes her and growls at her when she corners him.
30* FacePalm: Pongo gives himself one when his "pet" checks Perdy's gender (combined with ICantLookGesture).
31* {{Foil}}: Pongo is the fun-loving, laid-back parenting in contrast to Perdita's stern, elegant parenting.
32* HappilyMarried: With Perdita.
33* HenpeckedHusband: In the episode, "Splishing and Splashing".
34* InnerMonologue: Does this in the beginning when talking about getting Roger a spouse.
35* TheMatchmaker: To Roger and Anita.
36* MeaningfulName: In Spanish, "Pongo" can be translated as "I place" or "I set". Pongo drags Roger to the park, ''setting up'' a date and eventual marriage with Roger and Anita, while finding his life companion in Perdita.
37* NiceGuy: Pongo is heroic, happy, nice, sweet, fun-loving, loving, brave, protective, loyal, and carefree.
38* PapaWolf: Pongo [[BattleCouple teams up]] with [[MamaBear Perdy]] to lay the hurting on the two thugs about to kill not only their puppies but all 99 puppies. Their treatment of the bad guys is SCARY. You do not mess with puppies and let their parents find out.
39* ShipperWithAnAgenda: Although he actively works as a matchmaker for Roger and Anita, he doesn't specifically ship them, he just wants Roger to end up with ''somebody''. Alternately, he only shipped them so he could ship himself with Perdita.
40* TheSmartGuy: Throughout the adventure, different sides of Pongo's personality were showcased. He was shown to be intelligent, tactical, and stealthy. With his wits, he was able to outsmart the cunning Cruella, and her bumbling henchman, almost flawlessly. And with these assets, Pongo and his family were able to return home safely.

50Perdita is the {{deuteragonist}} of ''101 Dalmatians''. She is the pet of Anita Radcliffe née Dearly, the wife of Pongo, and the mother of fifteen Dalmatian puppies as well as adoptive mother of other eighty-four puppies.
51----
52* ActionMom: In the movie, she and [[ActionDad Pongo]] fight Jasper and Horace.
53* AdaptationalIntelligence: Perdita is smarter compared to Pongo's ditzy wife in the book version, Missis.
54* AdaptationNameChange: In the book version, her name was "Missis"; it's changed to "Perdita" in the Disney franchise.
55* BadassAdorable: She may be a cute dog, but Perdita is a fierce warrior, and will jump into battle in the situation calls for it.
56* BattleCouple: With her husband, Pongo, when they tag team against Horace and Jasper.
57* BetaCouple: She and Pongo to their humans. ...Or vice versa.
58* BewareTheNiceOnes: Perdita is as charming and adorable as animated dogs can be. As long as you don't mess with her children.
59* BrainlessBeauty: Missis in the books can't count and is unable to tell right from left.
60* CompositeCharacter: Missis was Pongo's wife in the books. Perdita was another dog to nurse the puppies. The movies and TV series made them one character (Perdita).
61* DemotedToExtra: In the sequel and in the TV series.
62* EvilDetectingDog: Downplayed. Perdy is very much ''terrified'' of [[TheDreaded Cruella]] and immediately goes to hide when she sees her car in the window, hinting that she has met her before and didn't like the experience.
63* {{Foil}}: Perdita is very well mannered, elegant and radiant; a complete foil to Pongo's carefree nature. She is also rather stern, and appears to be a tad more prominent when it comes to disciplining her children, as well as the rascally Pongo.
64* HappilyMarried: With Pongo.
65* MamaBear: Perdita is perhaps the ''only'' female character in the old school Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon who truly enters combat and that's when her puppies are threatened.
66* MeaningfulName:
67** Perdita's name means "loss" in Italian (in the Italian dub her name is changed into "[[DubNameChange Peggy]]" due to the negative meaning of the word "perdita"). It also means the feminine form of "perditus," meaning "lost" or "destroyed" in Latin. While her name has nothing to do with her, it does relate to her and Pongo's puppies going missing.
68** In the original novel, Perdita was a stray -- a ''lost'' dog -- before being brought home to help nurse the puppies, making her name make much more sense.
69* NiceGirl: Perdita is motherly, gentle, loving, caring, honest, kind, thoughtful, and generous.
70* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Her full name is used only twice in the entire film; she is called "Perdy" all other times.
71* PintSizedPowerhouse: Compared to the humans they're fighting.
72* TrueBlueFemininity: Wears a blue collar, as do her daughters.

75[[folder:Lucky]]
76[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/101dalmatians_656.jpg]]
77[[caption-width-right:350: "[Cruella]'s watching us, Dad."]]
78->'''Voiced by:''' Mimi Gibson (''101 Dalmatians''), Ben Tibber (''Patch's London Adventure'' 2003 sequel), Creator/PamelaAdlon & Dei Mae West (''101 Dalmatians'' TV series, latter in certain episodes), Zachary Balago (''Disney's TH!NK Fast'')
79
80Lucky is one of Pongo and Perdita's fifteen puppies. He is the puppy who nearly dies soon after his birth in both the animated and live-action films, but was revived through the efforts of Roger Radcliffe. Afterward, he was one of the weakest puppies, and was a rival to the more active Patch. Lucky is usually seen sitting in front of the television, and has a tendency to stand in front of it. In general, he is seen to be more of a follower than a leader.
81----
82* AdaptationalWimp: Disney's Lucky is a [[CompositeCharacter composite]] of Book Cadpig with Lucky's name. In the book, Lucky was the eldest of the main puppies, as well as a competent and well-mannered ringleader. Disney's Lucky isn't as, well, [[IncrediblyLamePun lucky]] in terms of leadership and the responsibilities that come with being the big brother.
83* AdaptationalJerkass: He was nicer and more respectful in the book.
84* AfraidOfNeedles: Lucky was so afraid of needles, he would have rather gotten sick.
85* BadassAdorable: In the TV show.
86* BigBrotherInstinct: For all his [[AdaptationalWimp Adaptational Wimp-iness]], Lucky is able to offer Patch some comfort and wisdom in the second movie.
87* BornLucky: Save for a few bad moments, karmic or not, in the series. In the movie, not so much.
88* CelebrityIsOverrated: He finds this out the hard way in "Prima Doggy" when being the Kanine Krunchies advert dog leads to tiring stunts on the whim of [[PrimaDonnaDirector Cecil B. de Vil]].
89* CheshireCatGrin: Has an almost pervy one when something particularly fortuitous is happening for him
90* ChickMagnet: To a degree, considering his [[ShipTease romantic moments]] with Two-Tone and Rebecca as well as [[AbhorrentAdmirer Dumpling's]] [[UnrequitedLove undesired attraction]] to him.
91* CompositeCharacter: In the movie, Lucky has taken on most of the traits belonging to Cadpig in the book (smaller and weaker than the rest, obsessed with TV, tendency to not be lucky at all). This is undone for the TV series, where Cadpig is a character, and Lucky is a lot more like he was in the book (a natural leader and {{Determinator}}), though still has a bit of an addiction to television.
92* {{Determinator}}: If Lucky has a particular goal in mind, be it seeing the new ''Thunderbolt'' film or ensuring they don't have to eat a generic brand dog food, he'll do everything to try meeting it. Such as how he'll risk getting caught by Cruella to retrieve Roger's video game project from Scorch. Or fearlessly attempt to retrieve Nanny's purse from a mugger all by himself.
93* DisneyDeath: Has one ''immediately after being born'', which gives him his name.
94* {{Fanboy}}: Of Thunderbolt, and to a lesser extent Go-Go.
95* {{Foil}}: He holds a small rivalry with Patch; they are very similar in personality, however there are a few differences. Lucky is confident and arrogant as apposed to Patch who is insecure and humble. And vice versa.
96* TheHero: In the series.
97* IronicName: The movie also sort of makes his name an ironic one, as he has a habit of not being lucky at all -- if something unfortunate happens to one of the puppies it's generally him.
98* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be a huge dick sometimes but he truly cares about his family and friends.
99* LargeHam: Has his moments in the TV series
100* TheLoad: His only issue being his TV addiction, which nearly ruins ''Tibbs's attempts to rescue him''.
101* MeaningfulName: The spots on his back form a horseshoe pattern. However, it's much more likely he got his name from [[DisneyDeath what happened when he was first born,]] (Anita points out he's "lucky to have lived") as the movie is careful to point out that Dalmatian spots don't show up until a few weeks after birth.
102* TheRuntAtTheEnd: In the 1961 and 1996 movies.
103* SmallNameBigEgo: In the cartoon he was more confident in his abilities more than he should be.
104* TimeTravelRomance: With Rebecca in the episode "De Vil-Age Elder"
105* TooDumbToLive: During Tibbs' rescue of the puppies in De Vil Manor, Lucky is the next to last pup to be rescued because he's too intent on ''watching the television'' in the 1961 film.
106* UnluckilyLucky: He got his name for miraculously surviving his near death during childbirth, though the fact that he was put in that situation to begin with calls his supposed luck into question.
107* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He really [[AfraidOfNeedles hates needles]].
108* YouDontLookLikeYou: A minor example, he inexplicably has white ears rather than black in the Disney direct-to-video sequel.

114->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KathSoucie
115
116Cadpig is the runt of her litter and she is the smallest dog on the farm. She is very much into New Age philosophies and does her best to promote her ideals and spread goodwill throughout the world. While her small stature has prevented her from obtaining the same level of strength as her brothers and sisters, she is much more learned than them and has a better understanding of the world.
117----
118* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest of her siblings, according to the original novels.
119* BewareTheNiceOnes: She speaks for world peace, but don't ever rile her.
120* BreakThemByTalking: Cadpig often likes to analyze anyone she confronts and try her own type of "Therapy" to subdue them. Cases being; Talking Lambo in to surrendering, just to get her to stop talking, or reducing an entire pack of Doberman to Blubbering Wrecks.
121* CanonImmigrant: A strange version. She is present, and one of the major characters, in the original novels, but in the Disney version she's absent (with her role as the pup revived by Mr. Dearly/Radcliffe being given to Lucky) -- ''except'' for the series, where she's a main character. She is also included in a set of figurines released in 2004, based on both the animated and live-action continuities.
122* FourthWallObserver: Cadpig frequently acknowledges the audience's presence via LampshadeHanging and {{Aside Glance}}s. One such instance has her comment about how Roger telling Lucky he's his favorite "almost makes you want to toss your kibble".
123* GranolaGirl: She is very much into New Age philosophies and does her best to promote her ideals and spread goodwill throughout the world.
124* HiddenDepths: Generally calm and collected, Cadpig has a bit of an angry and dark side to work out (especially when it entails things like a desire to rule the world through manipulating the President's dog). Lampshaded in the first episode when a mugger steals Nanny's purse.
125--> Give back that purse, you ''BIG JERK!'' {She pauses and then, in a cute tone to us} Oh, I gotta work on my inner hostility.
126* HypocriticalHumor: The little pup often preaches world peace and conflict resolution through nonviolent means, and often afterwards will threaten bodily harm towards anyone who upsets her or her family.
127* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though to a much lesser degree than Lucky, she could be a {{Jerkass}} at times. Like when she psyches out the other competitors at a Kanine Krunchies audition via [[DamnedByFaintPraise backhanded comments about their acts]]. Or repeatedly insults Rolly's desire to become Chief Firedog by pointing out that she's imagining him as the "hopeless dreamer" he is.
128%% * {{Kawaiiko}}
129* LittleMissSnarker: Very sarcastic and with the size to match.
130* MeaningfulName: Her name came from a term used in England for a runt in a litter of pigs. This isn't explained in the TV show, but is made a point of in the original novel, where ''Cadpig'' is the puppy that's almost stillborn but is saved, and she is the smallest and weakest of all the puppies.
131* NightmareFace: Cadpig has one of the most expressive faces out of the cast, so these were inevitable. Her most notable one featured bloodshot eyes and a SlasherSmile of shark-like teeth.
132* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Cadpig can be quite creepy at times when her darker side comes to the surface. Such as how she expressed a disturbing delight in using Valentine's Day as an excuse to guilt trip and psyche out people.
133--> '''Spot''': [quietly, to Rolly] [[LampshadeHanging She scares me sometimes]].
134--> '''Rolly''': [He scoffs.] [[DeadpanSnarker Only sometimes]]?
135* PintSizedPowerhouse: She alone was capable of beating a dog who can beat every animal in the farm.
136* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Has a tendency towards using big words in the series.
137* SuperStrongChild: Several times in the series, she shows this.
138* UnwantedAssistance: Cadpig has her heart in the right place, but her frequent attempts to help people usually only make things worse due to her refusal to listen to anyone questioning her methods. Two particular examples include where she tried to free a pet lobster and incited a feud between two cows that escalated into a farm-wide conflict when she came in to "help" just as said cows were settling their differences.

144->'''Voiced by:''' Barbara Baird (''101 Dalmatians''), Creator/KathSoucie (currently)
145
146Rolly is known for his excessively large appetite. He can be gentle and care-free at times but after his family, food may be his true love.
147----
148* BerserkButton:
149** Go ahead, call him fat. See how quickly he reacts.
150---> "[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I am not fat!]]"
151** He also does not react positively to having his food messed with.
152* BigEater: He is constantly hungry. He is usually heard asking his parents for food, even after being rescued from Jasper and Horace Badun by his parents.
153* TheBigGuy: The heaviest and strongest of his siblings.
154* BlatantLies: He always refuses to admit his weight even when he obviously is.
155* ButtMonkey: In the TV series, Rolly tends to get abused by bullies a lot and even by some of his own friends. Mainly due to his gluttony.
156* CharacterCatchphrase:
157** "I'm Hungry, mother" in the movies.
158** "Oh, papa!" in the TV series.
159** "Are you calling me fat?" in the TV series.
160* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Is prone to this when food's involved
161--> '''Lt. Pug''': Nobody's ever seen [Lockjaw]. But I've heard him, stomping through the night, looking for his favorite dish. Chicken Veronica with a bed of marinated puppies!
162--> '''Rolly''': Is that served with a white sauce?
163--> '''Lucky''': Rolly!
164%%* DeadpanSnarker
165* ExtremeDoormat: In the TV series, Rolly tends to get pushed around a lot.
166* FatalFlaw: His obsession with food has gotten him and his friends in trouble in the TV series.
167* {{Flanderization}}: In the books, he was only pudgy and not a big eater. In the movies, he becomes a big eater, and in the TV series, he's [[ObsessedWithFood OBSESSED with food]].
168--> '''Lucky''': That's not fair! Whatever happened to justice? Whatever happened to honor?
169--> '''Rolly''': [thinking] Whatever happened to that little piece of fat you get in pork and beans?
170* HelpImStuck: Happens to Rolly in the animated movie and several times in the TV series.
171* TheLancer: In the episode "Dog's Best Friend" Lucky calls him his best friend. A bit redundant considering they're brothers, that. Even so, it's their bond and the personality contrast that makes him qualify for this trope.
172* TheLoad: He almost gets the puppies caught several times, barely fits through the hole in the wall because of his girth, yelping when Tibbs grabs his tail, being the only one to slip on the ice, and almost sliding in line of Horace's torch and complaining constantly about being hungry.
173* MeaningfulName: He's the fattest of the pups, aka the "roly-poly".
174* NiceGuy: He can be gentle and care-free at times.
175* StoutStrength: Rolly is a chubby pup, but he is also one of the strongest.
176* YouAreWhatYouHate: He hates being called fat very much, but it's obvious that he is.

183
184Patch is one of Pongo and Perdita's original fifteen Dalmatian puppies. He feels lonely and left out with his family, thinking that he's just one of the famous 101 Dalmatians, and longs for a chance to be one-of-a-kind.
185----
186* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Two times in the 2003 DTV sequel, Patch is laughed at for his pathetically squeaky bark.
187--> '''Penny (laughing hysterically)''': "What was ''that'' supposed to be?"
188--> '''Rolly''': "That's the most pitiful bark I've heard yet!"
189--> '''Lucky:''' "Yeah, it sounds like someone sat on a squeaky toy."
190* AscendedExtra: He's given no more focus than the rest of Pongo and Perdita's biological pups in the 1961 animated movie. In the 2003 direct-to-video sequel, he's the titular protagonist.
191* BadassAdorable: In the direct-to-video animated movie.
192* BigBrotherInstinct:
193** In the 1961 animated movie, he's quick to defend Lucky when Horace goes off on him for blocking the tv.
194** In the sequel, he and Thunderbolt rush to his siblings' rescue when he learns Cruella has them again.
195* BigBrotherWorship: Absolutely idolizes Thunderbolt, and dreams of being his sidekick.
196* TheBigGuy: In the books and the TV series, where he's more muscular than the other puppies. He's even bigger than Rolly!
197* TheConscience: Acts as this to [[spoiler: Thunderbolt]].
198* {{Fanboy}}: Huge Thunderbolt fan, to the point he knows more about the show than Lucky.
199* {{Foil}}: He holds a small rivalry with Lucky; they are very similar in personality, however there are a few differences. Lucky is confident and arrogant as apposed to Patch who is insecure and humble. And vice versa.
200* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: Patch saying "he'd like to tear [the Thunderbolt tv show villain]'s gizzard out!". His mother is appalled and asks where did he hears such talk as it certainly didn't come from his mother. Patch almost innocently swears again, only to catch himself and sees his mother glaring at him and he swap his words.
201* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Initially trusted both Thunderbolt and Lightning when he first met them, [[spoiler: then Thunderbolt turned out to be using him and Lightning did a FaceHeelTurn. Thunderbolt does come through to help Patch, during the climax, though]].
202* MeaningfulName: The spot over his eye looks very much like an eyepatch.
203* TheMovieBuff: Patch is a huge fan of Thunderbolt. Because of this, Patch knows every episode of Thunderbolt by heart, something which comes in useful during ''Patch's London Adventure''.
204* NiceGuy: A responsible and humble puppy. Notably, Patch is the one who points out the well-being of the other 84 puppies who've escaped from Jasper and Horace. This convinces Pongo to escort all of them to London.
205* TheProtagonist: Of the sequel, which even has his name in the title.
206* WellDoneSonGuy: He looks up to his father as his role model especially after he was rescued by them.

214Penny is one of Pongo and Perdita's original fifteen puppies in the ''101 Dalmatians'' franchise.
215----
216* DaddysGirl: Penny looks up to her father a lot.
217* DemotedToExtra: Penny's role greatly decreased in the sequel. She is often seen alongside Lucky and Freckles, and like the rest of her siblings, is kidnapped by Horace and Jasper for Cruella, and is rescued by Patch later on.
218* NiceGirl: She has a sweet personality.
219* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Some fans say she's this for Cadpig in the 1961 animated movie and 2003 sequel. Justified in some [[DubNameChange foreign language versions]] of the series. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51FobEYkem0 the Danish dub]], Cadpig's name is "Penny".

241Pepper is one of Pongo and Perdita's original fifteen puppies in the ''101 Dalmatians'' franchise -- though it's never really made clear in the movie ''which'' of the fifteen puppies is Pepper, something that's led to a bit of an AmbiguousGender situation.
242----
243* AmbiguousGender: Since "Pepper" is a fairly gender-neutral name, and the movie never reveals which puppy the name belongs to, fans and franchise alike haven't been able to decide whether Pepper is a boy or a girl.
244** In the book ''365 Bedtime Stories,'' Pepper appears in a few stories, but the pup's gender varies from story to story. In the story "Patch's Plan," Pepper is explicitly referred to as "Patch's sister" and uses female pronouns -- but in "One Lucky Pup" and "Special Delivery," Pepper is referred to by male pronouns.
245** In the Diamond Edition release of the movie, Pepper is called "he" and is depicted with a red collar in promotional artwork, suggesting a male pup.
246** In an official "Which 101 Dalmatian are You?" test on the ''Oh My Disney site,'' which tied in with the Diamond Edition release, Pepper is depicted with a blue collar and referred to as a girl.
247* TheGhost: Oddly, in the series Pepper is mentioned by name several times -- including by Cruella at one point -- but never actually appears onscreen.

256Whizzer (or Wizzer) is one of Pongo and Perdita's puppies in the ''101 Dalmatians'' franchise.
257----
258* CanonImmigrant: He was introduced in the 1996 live-action movie and was later added to the TV series.
259* {{Determinator}}: In the live action movie, he is described to be the bravest in Pongo & Perdita's litter. This is shown by him taking at bite at Jasper, contacting Kipper and informing him on what is up, and having Horace and Jasper chase him to give Kipper time to help the other Dalmatians.
260* MeaningfulName: His most commonly given trait is a weak bladder, meaning he will have frequent accidents every so often.
261* OutOfFocus: Out of all the minor pups in the TV series, Whizzer gets the least amount of dialogue.
262* PottyFailure: All. The. Time.
263* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Official materials list his name as "Whizzer" while other materials, fan works, and one occasion in the show lists it as "Wizzer".
264* ThoseTwoGuys: With Dipstick in the TV series, usually as Mooch's goons.
265* UrineTrouble: His main shtick. He got his name when he peed on the table leg in the live action movie.

272
273Dipstick is one of Pongo and Perdita's puppies in the ''101 Dalmatians'' franchise. He was one of the original 15 puppies in the live-action ''101 Dalmatians'' movie, a recurring character in ''101 Dalmatians: The Series'', and one of the main characters in ''102 Dalmatians'' as a fully-grown dog.
274----
275* AscendedExtra: In ''102 Dalmatians'', where he's the father of the next generation of puppies.
276* ButtMonkey
277* CanonImmigrant: He was introduced in the 1996 live-action movie and was later added to the TV series.
278* CharacterDevelopment: In ''102 Dalmatians'', he again undergoes a drastic change in personality, as contrary to being stupid, he appears to be quite intelligent and is very protective of his family and pups, whom he cares about deeply.
279* TheDitz: In the TV series, he is somewhat dim-witted, and is often dragged into Mooch's plans without a say in the matter.
280* ExtremeDoormat: He seems to have a very complacent attitude and will do whatever Mooch does or wants him to do, and doesn't seem to mind; even being hung from a clothespin and shaken like a leaf as evidenced in the series episode "Love 'Em and Flea 'Em".
281* GoodParents: A good mate to Dottie and loving father to Oddball, Domino, and Little Dipper.
282* MeaningfulName: DoubleMeaning, actually: Dipstick gets his name from his tail (which looks like it's been dipped in oil), and someone may be referred to as a "dipstick" if they aren't all that smart.
283* ThoseTwoGuys: With Whizzer in the TV series, usually as Mooch's goons.
284* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He ''loves'' junk food.

288[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pic_detail4fbab8e432d76.png]]
289[[caption-width-right:350:''"Yard sale? I love yard sales! Actually, I hate yard sales. Of course, the pros of a yard sale are the bargains! But the cons of a yard sale are that the items are used. Ick!"'']]
290->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TaraStrong
291
292Two-Tone is one of the original fifteen puppies of Pongo and Perdita. She has one side of her body covered with spots, whilst on the other side is blank. Also, her ear is black on the side with spots on it, whilst on the spotless side her ear is white.
293----
294* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: There's her periodic attraction to Mooch to consider, which gets into WhatDoesSheSeeInHim territory considering how he's as rude to her as everyone else. This is particularly demonstrated in "Twelve Angry Pups" when she's uncertain about finding him guilty because he "looks bad yet also cute".
295* TheBigGuy: In the TV series, Two-Tone is one of the larger pups and probably the biggest of the female pups. She has a rather stout figure and a large head.
296* CanonImmigrant: She was introduced in the 1996 live-action movie and was later added to the TV series and the 2003 animated sequel.
297* CharacterDevelopment: Realizes Mooch isn't good for her in "Love 'Em and Flea 'Em" and leaves his gang as a result, however a few later episodes still show her hanging out with him due to the episodes being aired out of order.
298* ADayInTheLimelight: She received an episode to herself in "Love 'Em and Flea 'Em" where, after being insulted by Mooch, she then accepts Lucky's invitation to the Four-Legged Fall Ball as his dance partner. It is speculated that the producers either forgot she was Lucky's blood sister or presumed her one of the adopted puppies. Either way, the episode spawned off many fans pairing the two together.
299* TheDitherer: It's brought up in a number of episodes, examples being unsure whether she loved or hated yard sales and what to wear, in "Twelve Angry Pups" when she couldn't decide what verdict to give Mooch, and in "Roll Out the Pork Barrel" when she couldn't decide on whether to go to Rolly's party or not.
300* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: In the TV series she wears an earring, [[FridgeLogic which raises the question]] of why her owners would get her pierced. Though, it could be a clip on?
301* MeaningfulName: In different styles.
302** In promotional material and merchandise for the live-action movie, she has one side of her body covered with spots, whilst on the other side is blank.
303** In the TV series, the front half of her body being white and the back half black.
304** In Early Concept Designs, it was also suggested that she would be called; "Pants", before it being settled on calling her; Two-Tone?
305* ShipTease: Two-Tone was in a small romantic relationship with Lucky in the episode, "Love 'Em and Flea 'Em", plus in "Prima Doggy", one little scene kind of hinted she still had some interest in him. Many fans supported this shipping.
306* SuperStrongChild: Two-Tone showed in the episode, "Love 'Em and Flea 'Em", that she is one of the strongest pups since she was shown moving a pumpkin around (pumpkins are really heavy and can easily outweigh a Dalmatian puppy).
307* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Two-Tone is considerably larger than Lucky in the TV series. Her chubby figure makes it evident in comparison to Lucky's slim and slender build.
308* TokenGoodTeammate: Of Mooch's gang until she left in "Love 'Em and Flea 'Em", albeit downplayed as Whizzer and Dipstick aren't so bad when Mooch isn't around. In "Bad To The Bone", she's the only one not laughing along with Whizzer and Dipstick when Mooch calls Rolly "wide guy" and is the only member of Mooch's gang to show concern when he dares Rolly to sneak into Cydne the snake's place.
309* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She loves fashion and playing rough.

319
320The Colonel is an Old English Sheepdog from ''101 Dalmatians''. He is an ally to Pongo and Perdita, as he assists in the rescue of the Dalmatian Puppies.
321----
322* AdaptationalWimp: In the book, the Colonel is much less bumbling and more of an actual military commander, teaching the dogs how to fight and promoting them whenever they do something awesome.
323* CoolOldGuy: Mostly in the TV series. He's the only one Lieutenant Pug respects.
324* TheDitz: In the movie. He's not the brilliant tactical mind he thinks he is; in fact he's completely dependent on his HypercompetentSidekick Sergeant Tibbs to get things done. Though it's also very likely because he's a ScatterbrainedSenior.
325* DogsAreDumb: Played straight in the movie. Averted in the book and TV series, where he's more of a CoolOldGuy.
326* OldDog: He's clearly of advanced years.
327* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In the TV series, as the head of the Bark Brigade.

336Sergeant Tibbs is the tabby cat sidekick of the Colonel and an ally to Pongo and Perdita, as he helps the couple rescue their puppies.
337----
338* ACatInAGangOfDogs: He is the only cat in a cast full of dogs.
339* BashBrothers: Shares this dynamic with Captain, most notably when they fend off Horace and Jasper with Tibbs "targeting" on top of Captain's head and Captain "firing" by kicking with his back legs.
340* CatsAreMean: Completely inverted with Tibbs, easily the most selflessly heroic of the characters in this film.
341* CatScare: Ironically {{inverted|Trope}} as well, as Tibbs is the ''recipient'' of several false alarms and never the source of any.
342* CharacterTic: He always salutes when he is talking to someone.
343* CowardlyLion: He's terrified of Horace and Jasper, but still does everything he can to rescue the puppies.
344* DemotedToExtra: In the TV show, he appeared far less than the Colonel did and rarely got involved with the Bark Brigade.
345* {{Determinator}}: Even if he's scared, he'll get the job done, come hell or high water.
346* GenderFlip: In the book, "Lieutenant Tib" was female. The Disney version not only changed the cat's gender but demoted her/him to Sergeant has well.
347* GoThroughMe: This cat was prepared ''[[HeroicSacrifice to die]]'' to protect the puppies. Fortunately, Pongo and Perdita pull a BigDamnHeroes before he has to resort to that.
348* HyperCompetentSidekick: To the Colonel. Exaggerated in the TV series.
349* MotorMouth: At times, he can easily surpass anyone else with his talking speed.
350* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He and the Captain send Horace and Jasper crashing into a wall, where they see the dalmatians' paw prints.
351* NervousWreck: Comes off as rather high-strung, what with his rigid saluting and {{Motor Mouth}}ing and the like.
352* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is his name spelled "Tibbs" or "Tibs"?

361A former cavalry horse in the British military, Captain is a no-nonsense horse that acts in a similar military manner to the Colonel. He's the first to hear the Twilight Bark from the dogs of London, and sends Tibbs to alert the Colonel so that he can translate the barking.
362----
363* BaritoneOfStrength: Courtesy of Thurl Ravenscroft in the original film.
364* BashBrothers: Shares this dynamic with Sergeant Tibbs, most notably when they fend off Horace and Jasper with Tibbs "targeting" on top of Captain's head and Captain "firing" by kicking with his back legs.
365* TheBigGuy: He's the biggest animal on the Suffolk Farm, and has the strength to match his size.
366* CoolHorse: Considering the time period of the movie he was most likely a horse in the British Army, especially since the farm he lives on is owned by a retired cavalry officer. He proves his mettle by delivering kicks to both Jasper and Horace.
367* TheCaptain: It's in the name, though he reports to the Colonel.
368* DemotedToExtra: Even worse than Tibbs. He was not involved with the Bark Brigade at all and only got one line in two episodes each.
369* HeroOfAnotherStory: Considering his blanket and the fact that he's owned by a retired cavalry officer, he most likely is a World War II veteran.
370* OfficerAndAGentleman: Goes without saying, as he's a British horse with military experience.
371* OldSoldier: Again, retired former member of a Lancer regiment of British cavalry.
372* SapientSteed: Being a horse that talks, though he follows other animal laws in that humans can't understand them and probably don't hear them talking at all.

380-> '''Dubbed in Swedish by:''' Steve Kratz (''Patch's London Adventure'')
381
382A rather long-winded canine actor whose show the puppies watch every evening. Patch in particular looks up to him for his TV bravery. In both the series and the sequel, the puppies become acquainted with Thunderbolt as a person, and the German Shepherd befriends Patch in the latter.
383----
384* AscendedExtra: He was a background character who had about three minutes of screen-time in the original film, but he becomes the dueteragonist of the sequel, in a buddy comedy role with Patch.
385* BecomingTheMask: At first, he just wants to use Patch's fanboy knowledge of his show to get some press and save his career, but ends up becoming genuine friends with the pup and helps him rescue his family.
386* BigBrotherMentor: Ends up becoming one towards Patch, who idolizes him as a wonder-dog.
387* BigDamnHeroes: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] when Thunderbolt arrives to save the puppies.
388-->'''Thunderbolt:''' I always arrive in the nick of time...(whispering to Patch) Hey, I may not be a real hero, but I can ''act'' like one. I'll distract them.
389* CreateYourOwnVillain: [[spoiler:Thunderbolt always took Little Lightning for granted as his sidekick and was often unintentionally demeaning towards him for years, which eventually led to his co-star turning on him.]]
390* HeroicDog: Plays one on television, however he yearns to be one in real life, and plays the part not to disappoint Patch, who thinks his show is real.
391* HollywoodHeartAttack: Enforced in the climax of the sequel, where Thunderbolts [[spoiler:fakes a heart attack to distract Cruella and her goons long enough for Patch and his siblings to escape]].
392* InformedSpecies: Downplayed. While he almost accurately resembles a German Shepherd, he doesn't have the melanistic mask on his face nor the black saddle on his back.
393* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Thunderbolt grows into this trope overtime, once CharacterDevelopment sets in. He starts out a vain, pompous and self-centered actor who's only concerned with saving his own career, but spending time with Patch, a pup with low self-esteem who looks up to him as a hero, helps him to see the kind of effect he has on puppies everywhere and causes him to become a more selfless dog over time. Eventually, he tries to be Patch's hero for real so he can help him rescue his family.
394* LargeHam: Whether or not he's in front of the camera, Thunderbolt is a very theatrical, over-dramatic diva dog.
395* SuddenlySpeaking: He did not get a speaking role until his appearances in the animated series.

405* AntagonistInMourning: When Thunderbolt [[spoiler:seemingly dies as part of a distraction]], Lil' Lightning bursts into genuine fits of tears and mourns at his side.
406* BitchInSheepsClothing: Acts sweet in front of the cameras and Thunderbolt, but is actually a bitter and jealous dog who plans on stealing Thunderbolt's show to have the spotlight to himself. When Patch threathens his plan, he still pretends to be Thunderbolt's friend to lure them into a trap.
407* EvilLaugh: Lets out one after revealing his true colors to Thunderbolt and Patch, and leaving them and the other puppies to Cruella's mercy.
408* FaceHeelTurn: Was initially Thunderbolt's adorable and well-meaning sidekick, but years of being ignored and belittled finally got the better of him.
409* FaintInShock: When he's about to be crushed by a brick wall, [[ItMakesSenseInContext until Patch pulls the breaks of the truck]].
410* FalseFriend: To Thunderbolt. To his defense, it didn't always start this way, but having had enough of Thunderbolt's foul treatment of him, Lil' Lightning decides to trick Thunderbolt in order to have the spotlight to himself.
411* TheNapoleon: Is a small, bitter and hammy Welsh Corgi.
