In many stories, some characters enter the story, serve their role, and move on without any fanfare. If they have served their purpose and exit the story, then it's not a What Happened To The Mouse situation just because there isn't some final "where are they now" information given. This trope is for cases where a character simply disappears without reason or acknowledgment by the rest of the cast.


* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's not revealed what happened to him by the end of the film. In the original script, he would have turned up again at the end to try and kill Caesar, inadvertently shooting Will in the process.



* ButtMonkey: Poor Rodney is mostly pushed around by Dodge, his much younger 'boss'.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He didn't appear in [[Film/DawnOfThePlanetOfTheApes the sequel]], thus it is ambiguous if he's in a refugee camp somewhere or suffered a BusCrash due to the outbreak.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:We do not know whether he was killed by the Colonel, succumbed to the mutated virus, or does elsewhere.]]



* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He is last seen running away from several Ape horsemen and it is unclear if he is killed or taken prisoner. If he does survive, it is unclear what happens to him after the final battle.



* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After Ash refuses to execute him, he presumably survives to be locked up with the other prisoners, but it is unknown what happens to him and the other surviving colony civilians after Colonel [=McCullough=] enters the region.

*FantasticRacism: Dreyfus holds the apes in ''very'' low regard, to the point that he doubts their obvious intelligence and ability to communicate.

* TheBully: He's this to Koba in ''Firestorm'' and ''Rise'', as he not only orders painful experiments to be done on the poor bonobo, but also mocks his scars and dismisses his obvious intelligence.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Played with. While Koba had already suffered a lot at the hands of humans, Jacobs' cruel words and actions; mocking Koba's scars, deriding him as a simple animal, and supervising some of the experiments performed on him, includng the one that increases his intelligence, are what both solidify and intensify the bonobo's hatred of humanity.

* BreakThemByTalking: More like enrage and hateify them by talking. Jacobs makes this cruel, but truthful speech that serves as the final tipping point that turns Koba into a savage, vengeful misanthrope:

Rest assured, there will be no hand-talking nonsense here. You're not human, you know, even if you think you are. You are a chimp, an animal, and you'll act like one.

* TragicVillain: Part of what makes his arc so tragic is that Dreyfuss was never a bad person. He wasn't even an irrational fanatic, giving Malcolm's plan a legitimate chance to succeed and having good reason to believe the apes were trying to start a war. He never wanted things to go down the way they did.


* AmbiguousDisorder: He never seems entirely put together: he's nervous, stuttering, awkward, slack-jawed, and submissive.
