103 Dalmatian Street
Clarissa Corgi
Voiced by: Harriet Carmichael
A rich corgi who lives on 103 Dalmatian Street.
- Catchphrase Insult: She's not afraid to call her neighbors "Ruff raff" at any given opportunity.
- Dreadful Musician: Her singing voice is terrible.
- Everyone Has Standards: In "The Devil Wears Puppies." While she admits to having issues with the dalmatians, she feels no one should treat a dog the way Cruella does, leading her to confront the Devil!
- Gold Digger: She suddenly shows interest in knowing and wanting to marry Dylan when she thinks he's royalty.
- Jerkass: She really doesn't like the Dalmatian family, even going as far as to infect them with fleas and have pest control called on them.
- Rich Bitch: Both figuratively and literally.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: According to Pearl, Clarissa and her human, Hugo, have connections to Lord Nincompoop on the Camden Council. This explains why they're allowed to build a large "observation platform" which blocks the Dalmatian family's view of the royal carriage.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis/The Rival: To Dolly.

An Irish fox, part of the Canal Crew and Dylan's best friend.
- Cunning Like a Fox: He's a fox and also pretty sneaky
- Loveable Rogue: He's a trouble-making prankster, but at the same time good friends with all the Dalmatians.
- Odd Friendship: With Dylan. A domesticated, Neat Freak Dalmatian and a Loveable Rogue wild fox may not seem like the basis of a good friendship, but official materials call Fergus Dylan's best friend.
- Oireland: Subverted, since this trope is actually a pet peeve of Fergus. When the Triple-D perform a river dance to entertain him in "Fox in the Dog House," he questions "What is with the highly offensive cultural stereotyping?" The Triple-D then put on music which is more representative of modern Irish culture.
- Terrible Trio: With Sid and Big Fee.

- Punny Name: She can get what you require, but she does so for a Big Fee.
- Tattooed Crook: Somehow has multiple tattoos of various flowers.
- Terrible Trio: With Sid and Fergus.

Crushes
Hansel
Voiced by: Rasmus Hardiker
A soft-spoken husky that Dolly has a crush on.
- Ambiguously Bi: Hansel is entranced with Dolly when he thinks she comes up with poems. When Dolly admits that Dylan is the actual poet, Hansel gazes at Dylan in a similar manner as he did to Dolly earlier in the episode. He has also used his tail to stroke both Dolly and Dylan's chins in a flirting manner. The showrunners have even suggested that while Dolly has a crush on Hansel, Hansel himself may actually be interested in Dylan.
- Has a Type: Seems to have a thing for those who are artistic and speak to his inner wolf.
- Hipster: He considers hip-hop to be too "mainstream" and chasing cats to be "so cliché."
- Nice Guy: Hansel is generally one of the nicer side characters and doesn't seem to have a mean bone in his body.
- Non-Standard Character Design: He's the only character on the show that has colored eyes, rather than black dots like everyone else.
- Oblivious to Love: When the lovestruck Dolly faceplants in front of him in "Poetry Scam," he notes that that sort of thing happens around him sometimes, then adds that he's not sure why.
- Running Gag: Whenever he leaves by skateboard, there's a shot of him riding back and forth across the background while somehow never turning away from the camera.
- What Beautiful Eyes!: His blue eyes are the number one reason Dolly is attracted to him.
- What the Hell, Hero?: In "Poodlefall," he calls out Dolly for being so insensitive over Dylan losing his treasured Poodlewolf character in the game.
Portia Poodle
Voiced by: Paloma Faith
A vapid goth poodle whom is all about trends. Dylan has a crush on the "deep and aloof" beauty.
- Accidental Misnaming: She calls Dylan "Danny."
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: She falls for Dylan the second she sees his new "dark" look, and even more so when he purposely refrains from stopping her from walking backwards into the canal and mocks her for it.Portia: [lovestruck] My anti-hero...
- Goth: She brings Dylan to a graveyard for a date. She also wears a skull barrette in her fur, and when Dylan gives her a bouquet of roses she screams in fear "colors!"
- Hypocritical Humor: She makes a big deal about not caring about anything, but quickly becomes obsessed with Dylan in "Crushed Out," never wanting to be apart from him.
- Jerkass: Though she's generally on better terms with the puppies, she's rarely much less snobby and mean spirited than Clarissa is. She pulls an extremely cruel prank on Dylan in "The Curse of the Ferrydog." While she may originally have meant to teach him to respect the dead, by the end of it she's clearly doing it just for her own amusement. Later, she tries to con him into eating a plate full of cat furballs (which he is horribly allergic to) just for wanting to come to one of her parties while daring to be a bad dancer.
- Psycho Poodle: A Poodle and with a jerk streak.
- Stalker with a Crush: Becomes this when she takes interest in Dylan.
In-Universe Entertainment
Poodlewolf
Voiced by: Akiya Henry
The fictional protagonist of Dylan's favorite comic book series.

99 Dalmatian Street
Pearl Police Horse
- Voiced by: Tameka Empson

- Detective Animal: Technically a cop, but stresses that she's the one leading investigations.
- Fair Cop: Most of the time.

Constantin
Voiced by: Rufus Jones
A Guru Miaow enthusiast cat who lives on 99 Dalmatian Street.
- Animal Jingoism: He doesn't have a high opinion on dogs, though he considers Deepak an exception.
- Cranky Neighbor: He just wants to have some peace and quiet so he can meditate. But that is kind of difficult when you live next door to almost one hundred energetic puppies.
- Jerkass Has a Point: His attitude towards his spotted neighbors is understandable, as his meditation time is often disrupted by their antics.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He can act a bit snooty and he doesn't like the Dalmatians either, but he puts his pooch prejudice aside to take Deepak in under his wing, and doesn't try to get rid of the Dalmatians like Clarissa does.
- The Mentor: To Deepak.
- Plot Allergy: His presence tends to trigger Dylan's cat allergies.
Portia's Circle

- Hidden Heart of Gold: He may seem snobbish on the outside, but he's decent enough to warn Dylan about the dangers of dating Portia.

- The Stoic: The sight of the Dalmatian house being turned into a winter wonderland leaves him almost impressed.Portia: Spencer never says that.
Antagonists
Cruella deVill's Associates
Hunter de Vil
- Voiced by: Joshua LeClair
Click to see Hunter, post Character Development.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: The Dalmatian family giving him the affection he wants is part of the reason he turns against his great aunt.
- Break the Haughty: Starts the series as a smug brat, but after his first defeat he gets trapped in a metal shipping container for several months, breaking his mind. Then his great aunt shows up and he learns the Awful Truth about her plans.
- Butt-Monkey: His schemes always end in failure, with every defeat becoming more humiliating.
- Creepy Child: He has his moments. Like when he first sneaks into and attacks the Dalmatian home, and especially after he comes back more deranged. Slasher smiles and maniacal laughter run in the de Vil family, it seems.
- Delusions of Doghood: After he gets trapped for months in a shipping container with nothing to eat but dog food and having his hair groomed, Hunter snaps and randomly starts to act like a dog when shown dog related things (like chew toys or the postman).
- Devil in Plain Sight: Before he's properly introduced into the plot, Hunter can be seen lurking sinisterly in the background of several episodes.
- Diminishing Villain Threat: An in-universe plot point, no less. After a strong start, his Sanity Slippage results in him becoming significantly less competent at stealing the puppies, resulting in the pups ceasing to take him seriously and Cruella herself having to step in personally.
- The Dragon: To Cruella de Vil.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Hunter can be seen briefly in "Dog's Best Friend" as one of the humans that Dizzy and Dee Dee look at when trying to find a pet for Dylan.
- Establishing Character Moment: In his early bird cameo above, he commits an act of cruelty (tripping a waiter).
- Even Evil Has Standards: He's aware that kidnapping the puppies to take their fur is a bad thing, and is totally on board with it, but seems to be under the impression Cruella will simply shear them like sheep and let them go. He doesn't realize that skinning a dog is a very lethal process until Cruella tells him, at which point he instantly rejects the plan and switches sides.
- False Friend: To Dylan in "London, We Have a Problem" in order to get into the Dalmatians' home.
- Foil: To Dylan. While Dylan is nerdy, socially awkward and has a large loving family, Hunter is cool, trendy, and wishes he had a family that loved him.
- Go Mad from the Isolation: It's revealed that Cruella never rescued him from the crate he was stuck in at the end of "London, We Have a Problem," leaving him alone for six months. The whole time he was forced to live like a dog, and began to believe himself to be one and act like one at times.
- Heel–Face Turn: Does so in "The De Vil Wears Puppies," after realizing Cruella intends to kill the puppies for their fur, as well as seeing the bond the Dalmatian family have with each other.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: He gets himself trapped in the shipping container he had intended for the Dalmatians.
- I Just Want to Be Loved: The season one climax reveals that he is alone in the world with his abusive great aunt as his only family. Seeing the bond the Dalmatian family have, as well as the puppies offering what is possibly the first piece of affection he's ever received, Hunter realizes what it is like to have a family and performs a Heel–Face Turn.
- Mad Libs Catch Phrase: "Hashtag: <name of current plan>!"
- Madness Makeover: Being trapped alone for months, coupled with the pressure from Cruella to catch the Dalmatians, makes Hunter go from a cool and confident kid to a disheveled mess, with his undercut growing out into long Wild Hair.
- Made of Iron: Hunter is able to survive a number of Amusing Injuries, up until Cruella's arrival causes the show's tone to become far less comedic.
- Meaningful Name: Cruella uses him as a pawn to hunt the Dalmatians for her.
- Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: After being mistreated by his great aunt throughout the course of the series, he finally stands up to her in the season finale by defiantly barking at her, accidentally causing her ultimate downfall.
- Sanity Slippage: After his Go Mad from the Isolation incident makes him snap. He becomes more unhinged and suffers from occasional Delusions of Doghood.
- Speaks Fluent Animal: It's implied at first that Hunter is only pretending he can understand dogs in order to trick the Dalmatians. After losing his mind, he's able to understand dogs for real.
- Spin-Offspring: Similar to how Delilah and her pups are related to Pongo and Perdita, Hunter is related to Cruella de Vil.
- Spoiled Brat: Played with. He has his own car with driver, a private helicopter, plus any other expensive technology he could ever want, but it's clear Cruella only gives him these things to help him in capturing the Dalmatians, not because she has any affection for him.
- Tragic Villain: Hunter has it rough. He’s an abused kid who has been manipulated into doing his evil great aunt’s dirty work and suffers a borderline fate worse than death for it, leaving him completely insane. What makes the punishment even harsher is that he never would have helped Cruella in the first place had he known the dogs would be killed.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Or rather, "Well done, grandnephew" guy. Everything he does up until the series finale is out of a desperate desire for his great aunt's attention and approval.
Cuddles
Hunter de Vil's cat.
- All for Nothing: He betrayed Hunter and try to help Cruella only for Hunter to escape and thrown out a window and then chased around by Hunter as payback for his abandonment. Cruella got arrested. Chances are that Cuddles is going to be disowned by Hunter for what Cuddles did.
- Animal Talk: Surprisingly averted, despite the show focusing on the animal characters. Cuddles has not had any actual lines of dialogue, with the closest thing to one being adding -ouch to meow ("Me-owch") in "London, We Have a Problem."
- Apathetic Pet: To Hunter. Cuddles doesn't care when the boy suffers Sanity Slippage. At most he's annoyed by it.
- Bald of Evil: Is a sphinx cat and working for a de Vil.
- Cats Are Mean: Unlike Constantin, who is just a cranky Jerk with a Heart of Gold craving some peace and quiet, Cuddles fully lives up to this, framing the Dalmatians for messing up the park in his first appearance alone. In the season one finale, he shows Hunter No Sympathy at all when Cruella throws him into the pup container for speaking out against her plan, even smirking mockingly as the boy begs him for help.
- Didn't Think This Through: By betraying Hunter, this came back to bite him when Hunter throws him out the window forcing Cuddles to swim . When he made it to the docks, Hunter chases him to punish him more and chances are that Hunter will disown him for his betraying him.
- Dirty Coward: When things go horrible wrong, Cuddles runs away and is willing to betray Hunter to save his own skin.
- The Dragon: To Hunter. But he ultimately ditches him for Cruella.
- In-Universe Camera: His collar has a built-in camera to spy on the Dalmatian family.
- Ironic Name: Is not the least bit cuddly.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Gets thrown out a window and then chased around by Hunter as payback for his abandonment above.
Cruella de Vil
Voiced by: Michelle Gomez
The Cruella de Vil, main villain of the entire franchise.
- Ancient Evil: To the dalmatians at any rate; while merely elderly by human standards, by Dog standards, she's more like a mythical monster returning from the distant past.
- Bad People Abuse Animals: Exaggerated in this series. In the past she would have henchmen do the dirty work of killing animals for her, but this time around she does so herself with her own elaborate skinning machine.
- Bald of Evil: Has taken to wearing a wig.
- Big Bad: The true mastermind and overarching villain of the show.
- Cruella to Animals: Duh.
- The Dreaded: To Delilah and Doug, as they know the history of her trying to capture and kill their family’s ancestors.
- Drives Like Crazy: Still very much so, even coming close to running over a couple on a bench.
- Evil Makes You Ugly: A realistic version - age, tobacco use and (given her obsession with beauty and constant useage of chemically dubious perfume), most likely a LOT of cosmetic surgery have robbed Cruella of the few attractive attributes she'd had. (Recall that this was already in progress during the original film: despite being Anita's classmate, she looks at least ten years her senior).
- Evil Great Aunt: To Hunter. She abuses, manipulates, neglects and ultimately abandons her grandnephew once she deems him no longer useful to her.
- Evil Old Folks: The show takes place several decades after the original 1960s film, so Cruella is very up there in age by this point.
- Facial Horror: She has not aged well, to put it lightly, so practically every face she makes is a Nightmare Face. To make matters worse, cracks also appear on her skin whenever she expresses too much emotion.
- The Fashionista: Decades later and she's still fashion obsessed, especially when it involves fur.
- Gonk: Cruella was never an attractive woman but her age - and... er... odd skincare issues - have turned her into a walking horror show.
- Insult Backfire: Possibly Invoked (given The Unsmile she flashes) but she still thanks Hunter for calling her a monster.
- It's Personal: Is specifically after the Dalmatian family for her coat because they're Pongo and Perdita's descendants.
- Knight of Cerebus: Once she arrives, she is immediately portrayed as a huge and dangerous threat with no lightness at all, turning the cartoony silly show's season finale into an escape from death.
- Laser-Guided Karma: In the season finale she intends to have the puppies killed in an elaborate skinning machine. She ends up going through the process herself after being knocked closely to the machine by Hunter, whom she had abused and mistreated throughout the season. She would have died if Doug and Delilah hadn't rushed in to save her.
- Lean and Mean: She's even more stick thin than she was back in 1961.
- Misplaced Accent: Strangely, she now has an American accent instead of an English one.
- Perfumigation: She replaces her chain-smoking with a bottle of vivid green perfume. It's noxious enough to knock out dogs and caustic enough in liquid form to quickly eat through a metal chain link. Spraying it somehow repairs the cracks that appear on her face.
- Sadist: She delights in tormenting her prey. The best example being how she was happily going to force Doug and Delilah to watch as she skinned their children.
- Sickening "Crunch!": These accompany Cruella's every movement, seeming to imply that her body is falling apart due to age and/or raw spite.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: And how! Not only does she still want her puppy coat, she specifically targets ones related to Pongo and Perdita out of sheer spite over her defeat back in the original film. And this time she also intends to kill the parents for matching luggage, after tying them up in the same room to witness their own children being killed in a brutal skinning machine. She even demonstrates to the puppies exactly what the machine is going to do to them, using Dawkins' favorite doll as a test subject.
- Villainous Breakdown: As she's being pulled into her own skinning machine, she furiously screams while her face completely cracks.
- We Will Meet Again: After being foiled in the season finale, she vows to return and take her revenge on the dogs as she’s taken off to jail.
- Would Hurt a Child: Verbally abuses and manipulates her grandnephew, and even forgets about the boy for an entire six months when he gets trapped in a shipping container.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Once Hunter realizes she intends to kill the Dalmatians and objects to it, she declares that she's "bored" with him and has him locked up with the pups.
