!!In General
The closest friends and allies of the Trio. During their adventures in Grundo, they meet several friends who often join the Trio for their adventures, though they never quite become members of the Trio officially.
----
* BadassCrew: When they work together, they do all kinds of awesome heroics, whether it's fighting the evil Gutangs or rescuing someone from capture.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: They're all good people, but if you threaten the ones they care about, they won't hold back.
* CastHerd: Arin and Aruzia form a cast herd, since they're rarely seen without each other, with the rest of Grundo Castle as their entourage. Wooly has two cast herds, one with Leota and her students, and one with the Fobs.
* CommutingOnABus: It's not uncommon for them to disappear for multiple episodes, then feature prominently when they come back.
* ADayInTheLimelight: While they're only supporting characters, they do often play major roles in some episodes.
* DebutQueue: In the FiveEpisodePilot, Leota makes herdebut in the first episode, Arin in the second, Wooly in the third, and Aruzia in the fourth. Fuzz debuts after the five-episode pilot, and the Hermit only comes along mid-series.
* {{Determinator}}: It's a regular theme among good guys to keep trying if there's any chance of victory.
* EmbodimentOfVirtue: The Crystals reveal what traits some of them best embody, like bravery for Arin, trust for Aruzia, or loyalty for Wooly.
* AFriendInNeed: When someone they care about needs a helping hand, they're there just like the Trio.
* HitchhikerHeroes: During the Trio's journey for the Treasure of Grundo, Arin, Wooly, and Aruzia join the party one by one.
* InterspeciesFriendship: With the Trio and each other.
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: They refuse to abandon their friends. When the Trio gets captured by M.A.V.O., Wooly, Leota, Arin, and Aruzia set out to find them.
* PartyOfRepresentatives: The Trio are an Illiop, an Octopede, and a Perloon. The rest of the team are a Woodsprite, a Snowzo, two Illipers, a Fob, and a second Illiop. {{Guest Star Party Member}}s from other races sometimes join them.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: It's a running theme in the series that good guys solve problems this way. It's unfortunately averted when Wooly and Leota fall under the M.A.V.O. dark spell.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Joining the Trio are the likes of a HotBlooded WarriorPrince, his TomboyPrincess sister, a GentleGiant with mysterious origins, a schoolteacher who can fit in the palm of your hand, a proud RidiculouslyCuteCritter, and a hermit with amnesia.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Of the only two female heroes, Aruzia is an adventurous TomboyPrincess who spends her time around the barnyard and sometimes wears overalls, while Leota is a teacher and TeamMom who always wears a pink dress.
* TrueCompanions: The Trio count them as part of their extended family.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Aruzia and Leota are the main female heroes of the series.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the Trio and each other. Apart from when they fall under M.A.V.O.'s spell, they would never turn their backs on the people they care about.

[[folder:Leota the Woodsprite]]
!!Leota the Woodsprite
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RussiTaylor (books and special), Holly Larocque (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "The Treasure of Grundo"
Leota is the second friend that Teddy and Grubby made in Grundo, though they didn't initially start out on a good note. Due to not being able to control the Airship very well, Gimmick accidentally crashed into her tree. Leota was very cross about the whole situation, until Teddy managed to smooth things over with her. She helped Gimmick come up with a steering system for the Airship and has been a good friend ever since.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Leota's wings had an orange and yellow swirly pattern in the books. They're white in the cartoon.
* BadassTeacher: She's a teacher who does some heroic feats in the series and has helped save the day on several occasions.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: When the Trio accidentally crash into her tree on their maiden voyage, she is furious. However, Teddy wins her over just by calling her "very pretty".
* CharacterTic: On the cassette tapes and in the live-action, bells would tinkle when she speaks. This is left out of the cartoon.
* CoolTeacher: Leota is the teacher at a schoolhouse in a tree. She's a very kind teacher who is loved by all of her students due to how accepting, understanding, and patient she is. She's also very protective of her students, and helps keep them safe when the schoolhouse catches fire.
* FaeriesDontBelieveInHumansEither: When she introduces herself, Gimmick says there's no such things as "woodsprites", she quips back that there's no such thing as big bags of air stuck in her tree, yet there it, big as life.
* FairyCompanion: To the Trio whenever she joins them on their adventures.
* {{Flight}}: She can fly because of her wings.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's the TeamMom, works as a teacher, and always wears a pink hoopskirt, but she's got a daring, heroic side and plays Grungeball with her friends.
* GrammarNazi: Being a teacher, M.A.V.O.'s evil spell briefly turns her into one in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball".
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's blonde and one of the nicest characters in the series.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Often, when she appears in an episode, a distinct tune resembling a harp plays.
* {{Lilliputians}}: Except for her wings and antennae, she looks like a miniature human.
* MagicSkirt: She can do loops, spins, and all kinds of maneuvers in the sky with her skirt staying in place.
* MamaBear: To her students. When the school is on fire in "Grundo Graduation", she leads them to safety and doesn't leave the building until everyone else is out. It extends to the Trio when M.A.V.O. captures them.
* MsExposition: Sometimes trades this role off with Gimmick. She tells Teddy the legend of the Hermit of Leekee Lake.
* NiceGirl: She is very kind and supporting to her students and is the TeamMom for the good guys.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Unlike other Woodsprites, her wings are white, bigger, fancier, and have a see-through section. In the live-action special, she's the only character portrayed by a live human instead of a puppet.
* OnlySaneWoman: Frequently the most levelheaded and sensible of the heroes.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Woodsprites are the standard tiny humanoid with butterfly wings variety. They also have antennae.
* ParryingBullets: In "Escape from M.A.V.O.", she flies between the airships and deflects the M.A.V.O. arrows barehanded from hitting the Trio's Airship.
* ThePianoPlayer: She can play the piano, so this becomes her role when the students put on a graduation show.
* PinkMeansFeminine: She wears an all-pink outfit.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Leota can lift objects several times her size, as demonstrated when she holds and swings a bat in Grungeball. Also, when Eleanor tries to stop her in the air race, Leota's strength is enough to resist the net and drag Eleanor off a ledge into the water.
* PlatonicKissing: She kisses Teddy on the cheek at his birthday party.
* PointyEars: Sometimes yes, sometimes no, DependingOnTheArtist. Pointy ears are common for Woodsprites.
* PostWakeUpRealization: In "The Lemonade Stand", when she's awake in bed, she notices her purple spots and calls it a lovely color before realizing that something's wrong.

* TheSmartGirl: Being a teacher, she is very knowledgeable.
* SpeciesSurname: Her full name is Leota the Woodsprite.
* TeamMom: Mainly to her students. Being their teacher, she takes charge of their well-being. Sometimes to the Trio too.
* WingedHumanoid: All Woodsprites look like humanoids with butterfly wings
* WomenAreWiser: While she and Gimmick are both Smart Guys, she's more practical and down-to-earth.

[[folder:The Wooly What's-It]]
!!The Wooly What's-It
->'''Voiced by:''' Will Ryan (books and special), Pier Paquette (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "Guests of the Grunges"
A large, furry, purple creature who helps the Trio whenever they need a little physical prowess. Though he looks mean and vicious, Wooly is quite the opposite. He's extremely loyal to those who befriend him, and the quickest way to upset him is to mess with his friends.
----
* AccidentalKidnapping: In "One More Spot", he tries to catch some bugs to study for a school assignment, but he accidentally kidnaps the Trio while they're shrunk to bug-size.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: In the books and live-action special, his body is a solid purple color, whereas in the cartoon, his beard, hands, and belly are a much lighter shade than the rest of him.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Briefly, when he first joins Leota's classes, the other students only laugh at him when he misunderstands a question. They eventually stop doing this as Wooly adjusts to school.
* AngryFistShake: He'll sometimes shake his fists in the air when a villain angers him, such as the Gutangs firing on his friends.
* ApologizesALot: Whenever he accidentally does something wrong, he apologizes, even if there are other things to worry about (see SkewedPriorities below).
* AppropriatedAppellation: Wooly's name comes from what others described him as being after he accidentally stranded himself near the Rainbow Falls; a "wooly whatsit". The Snowzos are an obscure species to the other inhabitants of Grundo anyway, but being dyed by the Rainbow Falls made him unrecognizable.
* ArrowCatch: In "Through Tweeg's Fingers", he catches an arrow fired by the Gutangs and throws it at one of their planes, smashing its propeller apart.
* AudienceSurrogate: He's like a stand-in for children watching the show because he has a lot to learn in school and looks at it with a childlike naivete.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he becomes so tired of being big and clumsy that he asks the Trio to shrink him to Elf-size so he can be like his classmates. Unfortunately, he's also lost his strength and prowess.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Wooly wouldn't hurt a fly, but woe to anyone who hurts one of his friends.
* BigDamnHeroes: He has a knack for this. Since he's so big and heavy, he can't go on the airship and has to ''walk'' wherever Teddy and friends are going while the others fly ahead. This is a good way of HoldingBackThePhlebotinum because Wooly's so strong and tough he can generally wipe the floor with any of the bad guys -- when he shows up at the destination, it's generally when the others have already been through several hardships that they had to solve without him. More then once, he comes to the rescue at the very last minute, when the others are in serious trouble, and all seems lost.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: He's a Snowzo, a species of cat-tailed yeti-like creatures who dwell in the cold regions of Grundo. In fact, he strayed from the group when he was a child and got lost, and ended up being dyed his trademark pink color because he took to drinking from and bathing in the Rainbow Falls.
* TheBigGuy: When he opts to join the Trio on a mission, he adds some much needed brawn to back them up.
* BigHeartedBigfoot: Snowzos are based on the yeti (large, furry bipeds who live in the cold regions of the world), and few people are more big-hearted than Wooly.
* BigShutUp:
** After putting out a fire, the Elves and Woodsprites restart the feud that led to it, so Wooly shuts them up with a big "BE QUIET!"
** When everyone falls under M.A.V.O.'s HatePlague, Teddy tries to stop Grubby, Gimmick, and Wooly from arguing only to receive a collective "Oh, shup up, Teddy!"
* BullyHunter: He won't stand by when he sees someone (usually Tweeg) picking on someone weaker.
* CaringGardener: He's a friendly guy who grows a lot of his own food at his house. In "Harvest Feast", his harvest becomes all kinds of food for the castle banquet.
* CharacterCatchphrase: He almost always says "Hiya" instead of "Hello" or "Hi".
* ChekhovsGun: He finds a shiny red rock at the top of Rainbow Falls in "The Faded Fobs". A few episodes later, it gives Teddy the solution to get back all the money Tweeg cheated out of everyone.
* ClimbingTheCliffsOfInsanity: He's good at climbing cliffs. In the live-action special, it was stated that the Treacherous Mountains were believed to be impossible to climb, but Wooly does it.
* CurbStompBattle: After climbing the Treacherous Mountains, Wooly decides to destroy many of the Gutang Flying Machines with ease.
* CuteGiant: He towers over the other good guys, but he looks like a purple cross between a gorilla and a teddy bear.
* DisneyDeath: In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains", he jumps on the last of the Gutang planes and forces it to crash-land. When the heroes find him, they mourn him for a moment before he turns out to be alive.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: He's so strong that sometimes he clumsily breaks things. In "Elves and Woodsprites", he becomes so fed up with being so big and clumsy that he asks the Trio to shrink him with the Reducing Machine.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: The Wizard is so startled by his appearance that he slams his door in Wooly's face, making him fall on his butt.
* FaceOfAThug: When the Trio and Arin meet him for the first time, they think he's a dangerous monster. But when he learns that they're searching for a kidnapped princess, he reveals himself to be a GentleGiant.
* FlowersOfRomance: On his way to visit Princess Aruzia, whom he has a crush on, he picks some flowers for her in the Jungle with No Name. These flowers turn out to be the antidote for King Nogburt's illness.
* GentleGiant: Despite his immense size and strength, he's actually a very gentle and friendly being.
* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: He knows that bad people do bad things but doesn't understand why. As he puts it, "Why would anybody kidnap a princess? That's bad!"
* GoThroughMe: In "Autumn Adventure", he blocks one of the M.A.V.O. goons from attacking Teddy, making him bounce backwards off his belly.
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Wooly doesn't usually wear anything, but when he does, he's never fully dressed. In "Win One for the Twipper", he just wears a Grungeball team jersey.
* HeavyVoice: Inverted. When he is shrunk by Gimmick's Reducing Machine, he gets a higher, squeakier voice. Strangely, it never happens when anyone else shrinks.
* HelpImStuck: In "The Rainbow Mine", he lands rear-end into the mouth of the cave that Rainbow Falls comes out of.
* HeroicSacrifice: He does one in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains" by jumping on a Gutang plane and making it crash-land before it can shoot his friends. Fortunately, he survives.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He calls himself dumb several times in "The Wooly What's-It". It turns out that he's just undereducated, and he gets over it once he starts to catch up with the rest of Leota's students.
* HumbleHero: Wooly is very helpful to everyone but modest about it too. In "Through Tweeg's Fingers", when the characters thank him for the medicinal flowers he brought them, he modestly says he didn't grow them, just pick them.
* IAmSong: "What is a Wooly What's-It", sung by the Trio, is all about who he is and what he's like.
* IChooseToStay: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", after he is reunited with his own kind, he decides to stay in Grundo, although he promises to come and visit.
* ImplausibleBoardingSkills: He does some impressive feats on his skateboard during Wizardweek, including jumping over Trembley Fault.
* ImprovisedClothes: To infiltrate M.A.V.O. and rescue Grubby and Gimmick, Leota makes him a monster costume out of cotton candy.
* TheInfiltration: Teddy and Leota dress him up in a monster costume and have him pretend to be interested in joining M.A.V.O. so he can sneak in and free Grubby and Gimmick from the M.A.V.O. dungeon.
* InterspeciesAdoption: He's a Snowzo who is implied to have been raised by Fobs.
* InterspeciesRomance: He's implied to have a crush on Princess Aruzia. Whether she's aware of it or not is unclear, although she still sees him as a very dear friend.
* KeepTheReward: When Arin offers him a reward for helping save his sister, Wooly says he's already been rewarded: he got kissed by a princess.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Often, an instrumental version of the chorus of "What's a Wooly What's-It" will play while he's seen on the show.
* LiteralCliffhanger: After Prince Arin turns into the Iron Warrior, and he and Wooly have a tumble, they roll over the end of a cliff with Wooly clinging to a branch and the Iron Warrior clinging to Wooly's tail. After the branch gives, they fall into the water.
* MathematiciansAnswer: In math class, when Leota asks how much a hundred trees plus a hundred trees is, Wooly says, "A forest."
* MissingChild: There's a legend of a young Snowzo who vanished many years ago, and it turns out to be Wooly.
* NiceGuy: Of the GentleGiant variety. All of the Trio's allies exemplify AFriendInNeed, but few people do it as well as Wooly does. Because he is so helpful, Katie gives him the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_name sign name]] of a W over an open hand.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Snowzos live north of the land of Ying, but Wooly grew up in Grundo, so he doesn't share most of his race's aversion to warmth.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: When the Gutang plane he's on crashes, his friends briefly believe that he died, thinking no one could have survived the impact. It turns out that Wooly's [[SuperToughness just that tough]].
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Makes one to Bognostroclum while pretending to be a monster wanting to join M.A.V.O. Bognostroclum says that members can only join at the right time and place, but Wooly picks him up and says, "Do I get to join your club, or do you want to be a door knocker from now on?"
* PapaWolf: Threaten a child or one of his friends and he'll make you sorry. Tweeg discovers this the hard way any time he tries to do a bad deed when Wooly's around.
* PrehensileTail: "The Rainbow Mine" reveals that he can grasp things with his tail.
* PurpleIsPowerful: He's purple and possesses enormous amounts of strength.
* QuestForTheRest: In "One More Spot", Wooly's bothered by the fact that he doesn't know what kind of creature he is, and he's working to figure it out. Eventually, he meets his own kind: the Snowzos.
* RampJump: In the final race of Wizardweek, after Tweeg cuts down the suspension bridge behind him, Wooly is forced to jump across Trembley Fault on his skateboard.
* RealAfterAll: Gimmick spent most of "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos" claiming that Snowzos aren't real. Not only are they real, but Gimmick has been friends with one for months.
* ReallyFondOfSleeping: Wooly likes taking naps for fun.
* SimplemindedWisdom: Wooly is undereducated at first and a bit slow, but he does show moments of worldliness.
* SkewedPriorities: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", while playing Grungeball, he's so concerned about the fact that he broke the bat that he forgets to run to first base.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Invariably fouls up the plans of the villains somehow when he gets involved. Like the time he accidentally convinced M.A.V.O that Tweeg had been trying to oust Quellor and take over for himself.
* SquareCubeLaw: Inverted. In his normal size, he's got SuperStrength, but when he's shrunk by the Reducing Machine, he seems proportionately weaker.
* SuperStrength: Even for his size, Wooly is capable of remarkable feats of strength. It's implied that his muscle is denser than most creatures.
* SuperToughness: After his fall at the end of the Gutang battle, he survives crashing a plane, proving that even an impact like that can't kill him.
* SupremeChef: Wooly's a great cook and is happy to prepare something when his friends pop over. In "Harvest Feast", he cooks enough of a feast to fill a banquet.
* TeamKids: If Teddy is the TeamDad, and Leota is the TeamMom, Grubby, Gimmick, and Wooly are the ones they parent. In Wooly's case, it's because he never had much of an education and feels dumb compared to his classmates. When he and Leota interact, she acts like a surrogate mother to him.
* TechnicalPacifist: Just like Teddy and Arin, any time he resorts to violence, it's non-lethal. But grabbing or throwing around someone who makes him angry? Sure.
* TemporarilyExaggeratedTrait: When M.A.V.O.'s spell of darkness casts over Grundo, it happens to most of Teddy's friends. In Wooly's case, his love for naps is turned up to not wanting to do anything else.
* ThatsNoMoon: In "The Rainbow Mine", when he gets stuck in the Rainbow Falls cave entrance, the Trio mistakes him for a big rock.
* TrampolineTummy: In "The Crystal Book", he lets some Fobs use his belly as a trampoline.
* UndyingLoyalty: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him, the Crystal says that loyalty is a key trait of his. And he's certainly loyal to his friends.
* UnskilledButStrong: He's the strongest of the good guys but can be a bit clumsy with it.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In "Escape from M.A.V.O.", when he sees his friends (really the Anythings) appear to split into AnimateBodyParts, he just tells them to quit fooling around.
* VagueAge: Wooly lives along and takes care of himself, but he often looks at the world like a young child and attends Leota's class with kids.
* VerbalTic: Often goes "Blblblblblbl!" when talking.
* WeaponizedBall: In "Tweeg joins M.A.V.O.", after collecting some of Tweeg's cannonballs to return to him, he throws them at M.A.V.O. Headquarters, breaking right through the stone walls.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Mudblups. In "Autumn Adventure", the Fobs claim that Wooly's not afraid of anything, but to him, the Trio's Mudblup costumes are so convincing that he's terrified of them.

[[folder:Prince Arin]]
!!Prince Arin
->'''Voiced by:''' Willl Ryan (books and special), Robert Bockstael (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "Beware of the Mudblups"
The son and eldest child of King Nogburt. The Trio first met him while they were being held captive by the Mudblups. He has a very gung-ho attitude and often has to be reined in by the more cool-headed characters. He also transforms into a metal monster called the "Iron Warrior" when he consumes Vitamin Z. He is an Illiper, one of a humanoid race with very blunted muzzles.
----

* FireForgedFriends: He and the Trio become friends when they get captured by and escape from the Mudblups together. After they offer to put off their treasure hunt to help find his sister, he calls their friendship the best treasure he ever had.
* {{Foil}}: To Teddy. Both are driven, stubborn, and heroic types who will jump at any chance to save their friends. But while Teddy is a patient planner, Arin is impulsive and hot-blooded.
* GutFeeling: When the heroes reach the Hard-to-Find City, Arin admits that he doesn't know for sure where his sister is being held and is just following his instincts. His instincts were right.
* HiddenDepths: Seems like just a HotBlooded WarriorPrince, but "The Day Teddy Met Grubby" reveals that he can play a good lute.
* HotBlooded: Prince Arin tends to be impulsive and impatient at times, and his default setting seems to be "enthusiastically energetic bravery", to the point where Teddy and the others have to rein him in occasionally.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Shoots down several enemy Gutang planes with a slingshot.

->'''First appearance:''' "In the Fortress of the Wizard"
The daughter and second child of King Nogburt and Prince Arin's younger sister. She was held captive by the Gutangs at the start of the story, until Prince Arin and the Trio rescued her.

* AnimalLover: She loves the many different farm animals kept at her favorite place, the castle's royal stable.
* AscendedExtra: She and Arin appear more and get more focus in the animated series than in the books.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: It's not clear how old most of the heroes are, but next to the others, Aruzia looks a bit like a child in overalls and prefers to play with animals in her free time. She is a younger sibling of another hero, and her safety and freedom gives the heroes a motivation in the first arc.
* DamselInDistress: At the start of the series, she was a prisoner of the Gutangs, with her brother and the Trio setting out to rescue her.

* NiceGirl: She's always nice to people.
* PowerOfTrust: Her key virtue is Trust according to the Crystals. She trusted her brother and her new friends to help her escape from the Treacherous Mountains.
* PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: Downplayed. While she's never seen in combat, her skill with a root stew-filled slingshot is a force to be reckoned with.
* PrincessesPreferPink: Her princess outfit has pink accents.
* RoughOveralls: During one story arc, she trades her princess robe for overalls to help with farming. It fits her being a TomboyPrincess and an AnimalLover.

[[folder:Fuzz the Fob]]
!!Fuzz the Fob
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KatieLeigh (books), Holly Larocque (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "Take a Good Look"
Gimmick's pet Fob. He doesn't appear in all episodes at Gimmick's house. He is cheerful and friendly but also proud of being a Fob, sometimes to the point of cockiness.
----
* AgeLift: Described as a baby Fob in one book, but in the cartoon, he's fully-grown.
* ArmlessBiped: All Fobs have two feet but no arms.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: In "Take a Good Look", when Gimmick's Reducing Machine restores the Trio to their normal size, they accidentally enlarge Fuzz too, resulting in a giant Fob hopping around the house after them.
* BindleStick: At part of Teddy's plan, he and some other Fobs have these in "The Rainbow Mine", making Tweeg think they're leaving Rainbow Falls because there's no more water.
* {{Birdcaged}}: When Tweeg kidnaps him in "The Third Crystal", he's locked in a birdcage. A Fob is small enough for that.
* BlowingARaspberry: While Tweeg holds him captive in "The Third Crystal",
* CommutingOnABus: Despite living with the Trio, he often disappears for a few episodes at a time. It's later established that he sometimes visits his fellow Fobs at Rainbow Falls.
* ChromaticArrangement: Of the three main Fobs, Fuzz is green, Frank is blue, and Faye is red.
* DefiantCaptive: While he's Tweeg's prisoner, he refuses to show any fear, treating Tweeg like a joke.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Third Crystal" focuses on him.
* DistressedDude: The Trio rescue him from Tweeg in "The Third Crystal".
* TheGadfly: But only to Tweeg. While captured, he handles the situation by poking fun at his captor.
* HappilyAdopted: He's quite happy to be Gimmick's pet.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: According to the book "Uncle Grubby", Fuzz is an orphan who was found by Gimmick as a baby. He's still a cheerful and well-loved guy.
* HiddenDepths: When he joins Wooly's team for Wizardweek, he turns out to be a pretty good glider pilot in "Air and Water Races".
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: When he appears, he sometimes makes the Trio seem more like a quartet. He lives with them, is treated like part of the family, and joins them on some of their adventures, but he often stays behind or does his own thing while they're off adventuring.
* InconsistentColoring: In a couple of episodes, he's purple with pink trim, but he's usually green with yellow trim. Justified since Rainbow Falls water gives Fobs their color, so it's possible to change color.
* InformedAttribute: In one episode, Teddy says Fuzz is usually too shy to wander far from home, but Fuzz is very nervy and often goes to visit the other Fobs.
* InsultBackfire: When Tweeg says "When I'm finished with you and your pals, you'll regret the day you ever laid eyes on me," Fuzz retorts, "I already do."
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a bit cocky and outspoken but still a nice, friendly guy who's fond of his friends.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: During the Wizardweek episode "Air and Water Races", he knows when it's time to bail out rather than risk crashing.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Calls Tweeg "Tweek" while in a cage, which makes L.B. like him even more.
* MotorMouth: It's not that he doesn't know when to shut up. He just talks fast. This is because Fob voices are sped up to sound higher.
* NervesOfSteel: When Tweeg kidnaps him, he discovers that Fuzz doesn't know how to be intimidated.
* ObliviouslyEvil: In "Take a Good Look", he serves as the antagonist without realizing it. He just doesn't recognize his friends in their tiny size and thinks they're juicy bugs.
* ParachuteInATree: After bailing out from his glider in "Air and Water Races".
* PrehensileTail. He can use his tail to hold or carry objects like other Fobs.
* RaisedByHumans: According to the book version of "Uncle Grubby", Fuzz has been raised by Gimmick since he was a baby.
* RememberTheNewGuy: He doesn't get much of an introduction when he first appears in "Take a Good Look". It's presented as if Teddy and Grubby already know him well.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Like other Fobs, he's tiny, squat, has colorful fur, stubby legs, and a long tail.
* SapientPet: He's Gimmick's pet, but he can talk, think, and is treated like a person.
* SuperPersistentPredator: In his first appearance, when the Trio are shrunk by the Reducing Machine, he mistakes them for bugs and chases them non-stop until everyone is back to their normal size.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In "Fugitives", when he delivers Teddy's message Grubby and Gimmick while M.A.V.O. has them under house arrest, he tells the M.A.V.O. guard that he's not delivering any secret messages and that he doesn't even know who Teddy Ruxpin is. The guard is dumb enough to him through.
* TeamPet: To the Trio whenever he's with them.
* WaterWakeUp: A shrunk-down Grubby falls into his water bowl and wakes him up with a splash to the face.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the first three days of Wizardweek, he's with Wooly's team, but he disappears for the second half of the Great Grundo Ground Race.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: For a long time, he seems fearless, but when Gimmick tells him about the Giant Snowzos, he's terrified.

->'''Voiced by:''' Phil Baron
->'''First appearance:''' "To the Rescue"
A mysterious being rumored to live on an island in Leekee Lake. He is revealed to be an Illiop, and later, [[spoiler:Teddy Ruxpin's father who had his memories erased by the Black Box]].
----

* AscendedExtra: He becomes a major character in the last two main story arcs.
* BearyFriendly: He's a nice guy who saves Teddy from drowning in the river in his first appearance.
* BigDamnReunion: When he finally remembers that he is [[spoiler:Teddy's father, the two of them sing a song called "Together Again", and then he is reunited with his wife in the next episode]].
* BlankSlate: When Gimmick tries to use the Crystal Stethoscope on him, it reveals no personality traits. This is what happens when you have your memories erased by the Black Box.
* BoundAndGagged: M.A.V.O. wraps him up in chains while he's kept prisoner at Eleanor's house.
* CanonForeigner: He did not appear in the books and cassette tapes.
* TheCaretaker: After he saves Teddy from drowning in the river, he takes care of him and nurses him back to health while Teddy drifts in and out of consciousness.
* DependingOnTheWriter: In-universe example. There are all kinds of stories floating around about him because no one has met him in person before. "Some say he's a monster with huge glowing eyes, or a fish, or a Fob, or a sneaky M.A.V.O. spy..."
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:He was captured by M.A.V.O., had his memory erased, and got sent to the Ying Zoo. Even after escaping, he couldn't return to his family due to having lost his memory, so he ended up living in Leekee Lake.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's just called the Hermit of Leekee Lake because no one knew his name. Teddy addresses him as Mr. Hermit.
* FunnyAnimal: The Illiops are anthropomorphic bears who generally act like human beings.
* GaleForceSound: When he and Teddy say goodbye to Zeb and Maple, Zeb tells him to speak up. He shouts at him, blowing him backwards because Zeb's a tiny Elf.
* GoodParents: [[spoiler:Even before he remembered he was Teddy father, he was always good to him, even being a PapaWolf.]]
* GutFeeling: In "Fugitives", he tells Teddy that they should approach Gimmick's house cautiously, saying he has a hunch that something's wrong. He was right because M.A.V.O. was guarding the house.
* HappilyMarried; [[spoiler:To Ilana. He would have returned if he remembered she existed. When they reunite, all is well between them.]]
* TheHermit: It's what everyone calls him because he keeps to himself.
* HostageMacGuffin: After M.A.V.O. accidentally kidnaps him instead of Teddy, they use him as bait, knowing one Illiop will always save another. It gets Teddy captured.
* HouseSquatting: He doesn't own his lair. He just found it. It was built by an old civilization on his island, but since no one used it anymore, he settled there.
* IAmSong: The characters sing a song about him and his legend, but the lyrics make it clear that no one knows for sure what he is. So, more of an "I Might Be" Song.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Like Teddy, he does not fall under M.A.V.O.'s evil spell when they have the Crystals, suggesting that Illiops are immune to it. Maybe this is why M.A.V.O. fears them.
* InTheHood: Early on, he would keep the hood of his robe up to make him seem mysterious. He stops wearing it when he begins to open up to Teddy.
* IntrepidMerchant: [[spoiler:Before he lost his memory, he was a trader and adventurer who traveled around trading his herbs for both food and medicine. He never came back after M.A.V.O. captured him.]]

* TheMedic: One of his skills is healing. In his first appearance, he nurses Teddy back to health and gives him a homemade healing potion. [[spoiler:He gets it from his old life as a trader when he worked with a lot of herbs.]]
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: He keeps to himself so much that people aren't even sure what he is. The Grunges think he's a sea monster. He's just an Illiop who's not comfortable being around anyone.
* MysteriousProtector: He saves Teddy from drowning in the river, then sneaks away before anyone sees him, leaving Teddy uncertain if he was a dream or not. The next time he saves Teddy, from Dredge while underwater, he drops the secrecy for Teddy only.
* MysteriousWatcher: After Leota and Wooly find Teddy alone in the Hermit's camp, the Hermit spends the episode watching him from a distance. He's very interested in the younger Illiop but not ready to show his face yet.
* NiceGuy: The Hermit is a very goodhearted guy and not scary at all like the legends say. When Teddy falls in the river, he saves him and nurses him back to help.
* NobodyHereButUsStatues: [[spoiler:He surprises everyone in Rillonia with his return, including his wife, by pretending to be the statue that was built to commemorate him.]]
* NoNeedForNames: He tells Teddy that he doesn't think he has a name. He didn't need one because he had no friends before Teddy.

* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Most Illiops usually go barefoot, but the Hermit regularly wears a pair of boots.
* ShockStick: Among the many things he's found are a bunch electric shock prods for dealing with underwater creatures. He calls them stingers.
* ShrinkingViolet: The real reason he runs away from people is that he's very shy.
* ShroudedInMyth: Because no one ever knew for sure that he was real, there were all kinds of stories about what he could be.
* SixthRanger: In the last two story arcs, he becomes an extra member of the heroes.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: When Teddy begins to sing "Will You Go to Sleep Before I Do?", the Hermit joins in. This is the first clue that [[spoiler:he's really Teddy's long-lost father who made up that song and sang it for Teddy when he was little]].

!!Grunges
[[folder:In General]]
!!In General
The main humanoid race of Grundo. They tend to be passionate about their hobbies and like to fill their days with partying or enjoying music. One of two good races collectively seen regularly in both the books and the cartoons.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Most of them have yellow skin in the books. In the cartoon, they have human flesh tones.
* CastHerd: The Jungle Grunges and Surf Grunges are separate groups who aren't usually seen together except to fill a crowd. Louie belongs to neither group, being part of a two-person herd with his boss.
* CastOfSnowflakes: The Grunges all have similar facial anatomy, but their features come in different shapes and designs. Each Grunge also has a distinct outfit and hair.
* ADayInTheLimelight: After their introduction, they often serve as crowd fillers or {{Bit Character}}s, but "Anything in the Soup" gives the Jungle Grunges more screentime, while "Win One for the Twipper" does it for the Surf Grunges.
* {{Demihuman}}: While Illipers might be a HumanSubspecies, Grunges are something else. Humans don't have antennae, two-toed feet, or those oversized noses, but apart from that, the Grunges could almost pass for humans. They also tend to have more body hair, snaggleteeth, and warts.
* FourFingeredHands: Literally, but they also have just two big toes on each foot.
* LifeOfTheParty: Grunges love to dance, play music, and party.
* LovableJock: A Grunge's favorite game is Grungeball, which is just baseball with a different name. They're friendly folks who are good at it. The Surf Grunges also enjoy surfing.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: None of the Grunges have names in the books except for Louie, the Wizard's assistant, and Boomer, one of the Surf Grunges. The cartoon gives several of them names.
* OutdoorsyGal: The female Grunges prefer to spend their time doing outdoor activities just like their male counterparts, even though they live in houses like most people.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Most female Grunges take their game of Grungeball very seriously.
* SeriousBusiness: Grunges take their hobbies very seriously. They love music and dance, Jungle Grunges can get touchy about the vegetables they grow, and Surf Grunges are all about surfing.
* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: Grunge hair can be almost any color, from normal human hair colors like red, blonde, or brown to more unnatural ones like purple, pink, or green.

* {{Leitmotif}}: A slow, old-fashioned sounding bluesy piece plays when he shows up.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Most Grunges are wild, fun-loving party animals who don't do a lot of work. Louie is more serious and focused on his job.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Louie points out how the Wizard and the Sorcerer, as much as they hate each other, are alike in that they'll both do anything for money.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: After Wizardland falls apart and leaves the Wizard broke, Louie suggests throwing a party to cheer him up, and they could invite his brother. He realizes too late that he shouldn't have said that last part when the Wizard gets depressed again.
* ServileSnarker: He sometimes copes with his job as the Wizard's put-upon assistant by making snarky remarks.
* ThoseMagnificentFlyingMachines: He rides around on a pedal-powered helicopter that can carry huge loads.
* UnstoppableMailman: Apart from his job for the Wizard, Louie is also Grundo's mail carrier. Thanks to his helicopter, he can get any mail to anywhere in Grundo.

!!King Nogburt's Castle
[[folder:In General]]
!!In General
The royal family of Grundo and their servants and courtiers live in a royal castle in the northwestern part of Grundo. Most of the castle's inhabitants are Illipers, but there are many Perloons too.
----
* BigFancyCastle: King Nogburt's castle is probably the fanciest building in all of Grundo.
* GhibliHills: Most Illipers and Perloons live at the castle or on the farms that surround it on three sides, but if you step out the front door, you'll see miles of unspoiled wilderness ahead of you.
* MedievalEuropeanFantasy: The castle looks like a medieval castle with a lot of nearby farmlands, and many of the residents speak with a British accent, although much of the rest of Grundo does not look very medieval.
* MedievalStasis: Subverted. Compared to Gimmick's house or the Hard to Find City, the castle's technology seems far behind, but in the Wizardweek arc, the Illipers have a biplane to enter the race, showing that they are more technologically advanced than they look.
* RecurringExtra: Nameless inhabitants of the castle are sometimes re-used to fill a crowd.
* StandardRoyalCourt: There's the royal family at the top, the army of castle guards to protect it, and the various domestic servants such as cooks, gardeners, and maids to keep it running. Then you have the more specialized roles, such as the CourtJester, the minstrel, the royal messenger, and the royal physician.
* WelcomingSong: The courtiers sing one for the Trio called "We Officially Welcome You" when they spot their Airship coming.
* YouAllLookFamiliar: The palace guards all look identical, with or without armor, though they have different voices. This allows the Trio to make a CloneArmy with the Duplicating Machine without looking too suspicious.

* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: Their crowns and royal robes.

* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: In "Harvest Feast", then Gimmick takes the king for a spin in the Sub-Water Boat, he asks what the controls do as he tries them. He inadvertently sends them down an underwater tunnel.

An Illiper and King Nogburt's royal messenger. He's very forgetful, so he sometimes has trouble getting his messages to the right party. Despite this, he always seems to come through in the end when making his runs.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: He tends to forget Wooly's name and call him "the Hairy Whosit" or "the Fuzzy Whatchamacallit".
* BizarreTasteInFood: In "Harvest Feast", he remarks that Grubby's sandwiches "could use some roots" (Grubby was out of roots at the time). Most people hate Grubby's root sandwiches.

* ImpededMessenger: He sometimes has trouble getting his messages delivered on time because he doesn't always remember what they are or who they're for.

* OldRetainer: He's an old man who claims to have served the royal family for countless years as their messenger.
* RetiredBadass: Not much is known about his backstory, but one or two things he says suggest that he used to be involved with the military.
* UnstoppableMailman: Despite his forgetfulness, he never stops his mission to deliver the right message to the right person, and he always comes through in the end.
* WakeUpFighting: When Grubby wakes him up suddenly in his first appearance, he thinks he's being attacked, so he jumps on Grubby's back and acts like he's in the cavalry.

The other most frequently seen race, mostly as sapient wildlife in the cartoon or as background singers on the cassette tapes. These small, furry creatures usually live near Rainbow Falls and get their colors from drinking its water. Recurring Fobs include Frank, Faye, and their three babies.
----
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Fobs often have first names that start with F, including Fuzz, Frank, and Faye. Some random Fob is apparently named Fred.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: They're naturally gray, but thanks to Rainbow Falls water, they come in all colors of the rainbow.
* AmbiguousGender: It's usually hard to tell if a Fob is male or female, since most lack Faye's TertiarySexualCharacteristics. We don't even know if Frank and Faye's babies are boys or girls.
* ArmlessBiped: Fobs have two feet but no arms.
* CivilizedAnimal: They are sapient, talk, use manmade objects, and may even [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal wear an accessory]], but they still live as wild animals or pets.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Faded Fobs" and "Uncle Grubby" focus on the Fobs.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In "Guests of the Grunges", a baby Fob looks like a miniature version of an adult. In later episodes, baby Fobs have undeveloped tails and antennae, shorter fur, and proportionately larger heads.
* EggshellClothing: One of the babies briefly wears an eggshell as a hat.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Fobs are chatty creatures who often take over talking for each other.
* FunPersonified: Fobs are very playful and energetic.
* GreekChorus: In the live-action special, their sole role is to notice what's going on and comment on it. They occasionally do it in the show too.
* TheImmune: Fobs can't get the Tweezles because Rainbow Falls water has a different effect on them.
* KeepingTheHandicap: Most Fobs hate when they lose their coloring without Rainbow Falls water, but "Autumn Adventure" reveals that some Fobs choose to stay a dull gray.
* MixAndMatchCritter: Fobs look kind of like a cross between a penguin and a guinea pig with an opossum's tail and a pair of antennae.
* MotorMouth: Fobs are very talkative. When one starts talking, they all join in and start talking over each other.
* PrehensileTail: Fobs don't have arms, but they can use their tails to grasp or carry things.

[[folder:The Wizard]]
!!The Wizard
->'''Voiced by:''' Tony Pope (books and special), John Koensgen (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "In the Fortress of the Wizard"
A strange man who calls himself a wizard but doesn't actually use magic, instead using a camera and projector to trick people into thinking he can see distant events. He's quite greedy and always looking for a way to make more money, but he's a much nicer person than his brother, the Sorcerer of Ying.
----
* AscendedExtra: He and Louie appear more in the cartoon than in the books and have major roles in some episodes.
* AshFace: When using a flame or rocket to start a race in Wizardweek, this usually happens to him.
* TheBarnum: While not as unscrupulous as his brother, the Wizard of Grundo does fool his customers and charges a lot for his services. Though he does genuinely try to make his customers happy and satisfied.
* BigBrotherBully: He's older than the Sorcerer, and the two hate each other and call each other insulting nicknames.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: The symbol on his hat is a stylized W for "Wizard".
* CoolOldGuy: Wooly thinks he's this. While he only seems to care about money, he does act like one at times.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The Wizardweek arc focuses more on him when he throws a sports festival to bring in money.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: In "To the Rescue", when Wooly knocks it on his door, he knocks it over right onto the Wizard and leaves him SquashedFlat.
* EmbarrassingNickname: The Sorcerer calls him "Stinky". He has one for the Sorcerer too, "Bucky".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When Teddy says that "the poor princess" needs their help, he says "''Poor'' princess? Forget it!" Gimmick clarifies that Aruzia is a rich but unfortunate princess, so the Wizard changes his mind and lets them in. And that's all you need to know about him.
* EurekaMoment: In "Wizardweek", after his destroyed amusement park left him broke and depressed, hearing the word "festival" gives him a brilliant idea: hold a sports festival to honor himself and charge admission fees.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone in Grundo calls him the Wizard. His name hasn't been revealed.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Sure, he's a greedy deceiver who only helps people if they pay, but unlike his evil brother, he never harms anyone, is fair to his customers, and the information he sells is true.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Literature/LandOfOz the Wizard of Oz]]. Both are fake wizards living in a fantasy country, using ordinary devices to pass themselves off as powerful wizards. There is even a ShoutOut to it when he says [[Film/TheWizardOfOz "That's a horoscope of a different color."]]
* {{Facepalm}}: Does this when Louie misunderstands him over their radio in his first appearance.
* FakeWizardry: The Wizard does this as a schtick to attract customers. His "magic eye" is just a movie projector screen, but the technology is so rare and obscure that it's easy to fool people. Despite his fakery, all the information he provides is as true as he can make it.
* GoodCounterpart: Compared to his brother, he's a much nicer person despite being similarly greedy. While the Sorcerer of Ying makes money by exploiting people in his zoo, the Wizard genuinely tries to entertain and help people.
* IAmSong: Wooly and Leota sing a song all about who he is and what he does in "To the Rescue".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's greedy and only seems to care about money, but he does have morals that his brother lacks. During Teddy's DisneyDeath, he mourns Teddy, and in the penultimate episode, [[spoiler:he officiates L.B. and Buffy's wedding]].
* KnowledgeBroker: His main source of income is providing information for a fee. While he uses deceit to pass it off as magic, at least the information is as accurate as he's able to give.
* LadiesAndGerms: Says "Ladies and gentlemonsters" when speaking to the monsters of Ying.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's not particular about who he helps if he gets paid.
* PhonyPsychic: The Wizard is an unusual subversion. While he's something of a con artist, the information he presents to his customers is true. He claims the images he shows are the results of his magic, but they're just footage filmed by Louie.
* PointyEars: His ears are pointy, a feature that most Perloons seem to lack.
* QuarrelingSong: In "Wizardland", he and his brother sing a song that is basically a debate about who's got the better tourist attraction.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he only works for money, he's a fair judge or umpire when he oversees sporting events.
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: He fires a cannon to start the Great Grundo Ground Race and gets recoiled backwards.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Always wears a blue robe and pointed blue hat with white suns, moons, and stars all over.
* SiblingRivalry: He and the Sorcerer take this to the next level. The Wizard opens a theme park called Wizardland right across the way from the Sorcerer's own attraction the Ying Zoo, and the two constantly compete for customers.
* SloganYellingMegaphoneGuy: He uses a megaphone to announce the attractions at Wizardland to draw his brother's customers away.
* SpeechImpediment: He is a Perloon, but instead of a stutter like Gimmick and Eunice, he talks with a slight lisp.
* SquashedFlat: In "Wizardland", when he declares his new theme park open for business, the customers trample all over him and leave him flat. He's back to normal in his next scene.
* SweetTooth: He admits that he has one in "Tweeg the Vegetable" when he tries some donuts from L.B.
* TrashTalk: He and the Sorcerer enjoy doing this to each other. And they use megaphones to do it.
* WizardBeard: He has a white beard like a lot of wizards, although shorter than most.
* WizardClassic: While he's not a real wizard, he looks and acts the part as much as he can. He wears a robe, pointed hat, and white beard and lives in a fortress in the wilderness.

* StrongAnts: She and her team aren't ants, but they fill the same role of ants carrying off picnic food.
* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: The rule of getting a new spot means that a ladybug must do her own good deed herself.

But at the Bug Fair, the announcer says that she made three new friends and gave up her last chance at a new spot to make sure they were happy, which is the best good deed anyone can do.

** The Other: Blue with orange trim.
** Some: Green with yellow trim

** One More: Purple with tan trim.
* CompositeCharacter: In the book illustrations, it seems like more than a dozen Anythings are accidentally taken by the Grunges. The cartoon reduces it to three.
* CowardlyLion: According to the books, This is the bravest of them, though still easily frightened, and the first one to talk to anyone in almost a century since his great-grandfather [[MeaningfulName Timid the Brave]] said "hi" to a Fob. After This opens up to the Trio, That and The Other follow his example and don't feel so afraid anymore.
* FantasticNamingConvention: They are named after demonstrative or indefinite pronouns (This, That, The Other, Some, Another, One More), [[WhosOnFirst which confuses the Trio at first]].

* TotemPoleTrench: They do a really weird spin on this. In a shapeshifting version, they sometimes stand on each other's shoulders, and each shapeshifts into ''part'' of a person.
* {{Transflormation}}: Sometimes, they turn into plants. One of the reasons they live in the Mushroom Forest is that mushrooms are easy to imitate (fungi aren't plants, but it counts for the purpose of the trope).

!!Snowzos
->'''Voiced by:''' Various
->'''First appearance:''' "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos"
A race of yeti-like creatures who live north of the Land of Ying up in the snowy mountains.
----
* AmbiguouslyRelated: Wooly wonders if he and the first Snowzo he meets could be cousins. The Snowzo rolls with it.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Snowzos are a species of cat-tailed yeti-like creatures who dwell in the cold regions of Grundo.
* FaeriesDontBelieveInHumansEither: Gimmick spends most of their episode saying Snowzos are a myth. When he meets some Snowzos and introduces himself as a Perloon, one of the Snowzos says, "Everybody knows Perloons don't exist."
* GentleGiant: People are afraid of them because they're big and mysterious, but they're really very friendly.
* HiddenElfVillage: They live up in the mountains north of Ying and rarely come down because they can't stand warm weather.
* IAmSong: One of them sings "A Typical Giant Snowzo" to explain what he is.
* MistakenIdentity: Teddy and his friends initially mistake a Snowzo they have just met for their friend Wooly. Justified, since it turns out that Wooly is a Snowzo himself.
* NoNameGiven: None of them are named.
* OneShotCharacter: They only appear in "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos".
* OurCryptidsAreMoreMysterious: Based on the Yeti, a well-known cryptid, but also treated as a cryptid in-universe. There have been many alleged Snowzo sightings, but their existence has never been proven before their episode. The reason for this is that they avoid warm weather and only come down from their home when it gets cold enough.
* {{Snowlems}}: Subverted. When Tweeg sees a Snowzo for the first time, thanks to a series of circumstances, he's convinced that he's brought a snowman to life by magic. This turns out not to be the case, but Tweeg continues to believe it.

!Villains
!!Tweeg and L.B.
[[folder:In General]]
!!In General
The original main villains of the series. Tweeg is a half-Grunge, half-Troll who dreams of being the greatest villain in Grundo, while L.B. is his begrudging Bounder henchman. They appear in more episodes than any other characters except the Trio.
----
* ActuallyThatsMyAssistant: While disguised as painters in the castle, Queen Lillibet calls Tweeg L.B.'s assistant instead of the other way around because she thinks L.B. is doing a better job.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: They are introduced in the fourth book and tape ''Tweeg and the Bounders''. In the animated series, they are there from the start.
* AdultsDressedAsChildren: In "The Lemonade Stand", they disguise themselves as two little boys selling lemonade, dressing in old-fashioned sailor boy outfits. Tweeg is way taller than the Trio, but everyone is fooled anyway.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: Tweeg takes and L.B. gives. Tweeg makes L.B. do all the hard work and heavy lifting around the tower and puts off paying him as much as possible, yet L.B. never resigns.
* AmbiguousSyntax: When Tweeg thinks he's sick he says to L.B., "Call me a doctor!" "Okay, Twip. You're a doctor."
* ArtsyBeret: They wear berets as part of their disguise as painters to sneak into King Nogburt's castle.
* AscendedExtra: They only appear in a few of the books, but they appear in all but a few episodes of the series. Tweeg's desire to join M.A.V.O. is just mentioned in the books to give him a motive, but in this series, it's an ongoing story arc. L.B. also has character development, and his relationship Buffy is a subplot.
* AshFace: This tends to happen to them, but mostly to Tweeg, when the cannon doesn't fire properly.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: They don't often show it, but L.B. goes for help when Tweeg gets the Tweezles, goes to Ying to find him and bring him home, and later saves him from Quellor's henchmen when they tie him up. They also give each other holiday gifts, and [[spoiler:Tweeg also gives L.B. a wedding present when L.B. marries Buffy]].
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: This is how they see things. It's why Tweeg dreams of being a great villain and why L.B. sweet-talks his girlfriend with disgusting metaphors.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Tweeg, a Troll/Grunge hybrid, is a few times taller than L.B., a Bounder.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: When Tweeg's cannon fails to fire a cannonball, they (but mostly Tweeg) are prone to getting blasted backwards
* BoxedCrook: After Tweeg and L.B. fail Quellor, they're made prisoners, but they're the only ones at M.A.V.O. who have dealt with Teddy, so when Quellor gives them a chance to make up for their mistakes, they jump at the chance. Unfortunately, they Teddy and don't recover the Crystals, so it's back to scrubbing floors for them.
* BrainsAndBrawn: Tweeg describes their relationship this way in "Teddy and the Mudblups". Tweeg does the planning (badly), L.B. does the pulling (begrudgingly).
* BumblingHenchmenDuo: Once they begin working for Quellor, they become this. They were always a bumbling duo, but before, one was the other's henchman.
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: They constantly argue and annoy each other, but both have admitted that it's not the same when the other is not around.
* ChariotPulledByCats: L.B., a bounder, usually pulls Tweeg in his wagon.
* CheatersNeverProsper: No matter how many times they lie and cheat, they never seem to come out on top. It's occasionally subverted. In "Air and Water Races", Tweeg comes up with an idea to sabotage the competition by sewing them into their sleeping bags, allowing his team to get first, second, and third place in the synchronized swimming contest.
* CirclingBirdies: The "seeing stars" variant tends to happen to Tweeg when he gets knocked on the head. L.B. gets it too on occasion.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Tweeg's Mom" mostly focuses on them, while the Trio appear very little in the episode.
* DressedToPlunder: In "Captured", they briefly get to join the M.A.V.O. pirates dressed in pirate clothes.
* {{Expy}}: Tweeg and L.B. are expies of [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Dick]] [[WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines Dastardly and Muttley]]. L.B. occasionally laughs like Muttley, and Tweeg not only has his DickDastardlyStopsToCheat moments but he once said [[BorrowedCatchphrase "Drat, drat, and double drat"]].
* GoKartingWithBowser: In "Win One for the Twipper" and the Wizardweek arc, they compete against the Trio in sporting events.
* HumanSnowball: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", L.B. rolls down a hill in a big snowball, picking up Tweeg along the way.
* ICantHearYou: Near the end of "Double Grubby", the blast from Tweeg's cannon is so loud that it leaves them both saying, "Speak up! I can't hear you!" to each other at the same time.
* InstitutionalApparel: While they're prisoners of M.A.V.O. during the Anythings arc, they wear black-and-white striped outfits.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A sinister tune will often play when the camera points to or pulls into their tower.
* KarmaHoudini: In many episodes, they spend their time causing trouble and chaos without getting punished. Subverted mid-series when they disappoint Quellor one time too many and get clapped in irons.
* LiteralAssKicking: Tweeg kicks L.B. away in the rear end in "Musical Oppressors" when he wants him to go find the Black Box.
* MacGuffinBlindness: In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains"¸ they dismiss the Crystals that the Trio found as worthless pieces of glass, thinking that the real treasure is the room full of gold that they left behind. Double-subverted in "Grubby's Romance". Once they take a closer look at the Crystals, they think that they might be valuable...because they look like diamonds.
* MasterOfDisguise: Disguises seem to be the one thing they're always good at. From old ladies to little boys to smooth-talking businessmen, their ability to fool people knows no bounds.
* OhCrap: They get this reaction when something goes wrong. For example, when they follow the Trio into a cave in the Great Desert, they realize they're in trouble when they see Mudblups coming.
* PaperThinDisguise: Tweeg, being a unique hybrid, has a very distinct appearance, but people hardly ever see through his disguises unless he takes them off. But L.B. takes the cake. All he has to do is put on a hat and people are fooled.
* PetTheDog: Both are known to do acts that imply that they don't really hate each other. At the winter holiday season, for example, they give each other presents, although they agree to go back to being bad guys the next day.
* PluckyComicRelief: Tweeg's failed schemes and L.B.'s snark provide a lot of humor in the show. Both serve as each other's ButtMonkey, and they're the focus of comedic subplots of several episodes.
* PunishmentDetail: When Tweeg and L.B. are made prisoners of M.A.V.O., they're forced to spend their time washing floors and doing laundry.
* RegularCharacter: In the animated series, they are only absent from a handful of the sixty-five episodes.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: They are both each other's favorite target for derogatory remarks.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: They constantly insult and annoy each other, making you wonder why they put up with the situation for so long.
* UnexpectedSuccessor: Both briefly serve as the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O., but neither of them sees it coming. The rules say that the Supreme Oppressor must always possess the Black Box, so just getting a hold of it puts them into the position.
* VillainDecay: While they were never that threatening to begin with, their failed attempts at evil deeds began to wear thin by the middle of the series. Around this time, the writers put more focus on Quellor and the rest of M.A.V.O., who were genuinely dangerous villains.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Emphasis on the vitriolic part. Despite their bickering, they stick together.
* WorkingOnTheChainGang: During their time as M.A.V.O. prisoners, they get chained together at the ankles and are forced to clean M.A.V.O. Headquarters.
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Any time L.B. gets Tweeg's name right, it means something. He says it to Tweeg's face twice in the series: once when Tweeg thinks he's seriously sick, and once with the rest of the Bounders as holiday gift. Tweeg is very touched by the latter.

[[folder:Jack W. Tweeg]]
!!Jack W. Tweeg
->'''Voiced by:''' Will Ryan (books and special), John Koensgen (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "The Treasure of Grundo"
Tweeg was the Trio's first antagonist. He wants more than anything to be accepted into the Monsters and Villains Organization, but he's just not evil enough. He lives in a tall tower in Gimmick's valley and is constantly trying to run Gimmick out of the valley, so he can claim it all for himself. He is constantly trying to perfect a formula for turning buttermilk into gold.
----
* AccidentalAimingSkills: The first time his cannon hits something, he was aiming for Gimmick's house as usual, but instead he hits Mrs. Maggotheart's collection wagon. The other time, he's trying to take the Airship out of the final Wizardweek race, but he ends up hitting his mother's vehicle.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the books, Tweeg was kicked out of the evil land of Ying for not being evil enough. The cartoon establishes him as the Grundo-born son of a Grunge and a Troll and makes no reference to him ever being in Ying before the series.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: It's a RunningGag. He's had boxes, cannonballs, and other things land on his foot in "The Faded Fobs", "Sign of a Friend", "The Crystal Book," "The Black Box", and "A Race to the Finish".
* AintTooProudToBeg: On several occasions, he's willing to get down on the floor and beg Quellor or his mother to have mercy.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: When Tweeg zaps himself by the Black Box, he doesn't act villainous anymore.
* AmusingInjuries: Tweeg falls victim to a lot of these. Sometimes he's HoistByHisOwnPetard, sometimes L.B. puts it on him, and sometimes things just happen.
* AmusinglyAwfulAim: Tweeg regularly bombards Newton Gimmick's house with a cannon from his tower. However, Tweeg's aim is so bad that there is a neat, clean ring of cannonballs all around Newton's house.
* AnythingButThat: The worst possible fate imaginable to him is being locked in a room with the M.A.V.O. dues collector.
* BaitAndSwitchComment: He does this twice in "The Great Grundo Ground Race". Before the race starts, he says, "I've never challenged Mummy before. I'm afraid it might upset her." [...] "Upset her when I leave her sucking dust at the finish line!" Later, when L.B. helps him escape the capture of Quellor's henchmen, he says, "I never thought I'd thank you for anything, L.B." [...] "So I won't."
* BalconyEscape: He climbs out his window down his balcony at one point, so he won't have to face Mrs. Maggotheart when she comes over. The rope breaks.
* BaldOfEvil: He's a villain who's bald. It's not clear why. Both his parents have a head full of hair, yet a cross between their races doesn't.
* BareHandedPuppetry: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he dresses his hand as an Elf named Tweegle and draws on a face so he can cause trouble in the Elf and Woodsprite Village.
* BecauseISaidSo: His usual response when L.B. asks why he has to do a certain task.
* BerserkButton: Cannot ''stand it'' when people mess up his name. Of course, L.B. loves to deliberately do this just for kicks.
* BetrayalByOffspring: He sells his own mother out to the Mudblup King so he and L.B. can escape from prison.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite his status as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, Tweeg has twice nearly managed to start a war; once between the formerly friendly Elves and Woodsprites, and again between M.A.V.O. and the Gutangs. His actions were only stopped at the last minute both times.
* BigBadEnsemble: Part of one along with Quellor, the Mudblup King, the Sorcerer, and the Gutangs. All are independent villains of each other.
* BigBadWannabe: He dreams of being the greatest villain in Grundo, even becoming Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O., but his schemes usually blow up in his face.
* BigDamnReunion: [[spoiler:In "Father's Day", he reunites with his father when his father comes to meet him.]]
* BlankSlate: After he's had his memory erased by the Black Box, he is left with no thoughts and no personality. When Gimmick tries to use the Crystal Stethoscope on him, it doesn't register any personality traits at all.
* BlessedWithSuck: Being a cross between a Troll and a Grunge has its problems. He has his mother's evil morals but his father's skills, so he can't be both happy and successful.
* BlowingARaspberry: In the Wizardweek ground race, after the Elves and Woodsprites fix his sabotage, he blows them one in frustration.
* {{Bouncer}}: During L.B.'s reign as Supreme Oppressor, he becomes the new gatekeeper and is forced to deal with the riffraff of monsters that try to come in.
* BoundAndGagged:
** In "Uncle Grubby", when he's put on trial at M.A.V.O., he's chained up in court. He's then gagged so he can't defend himself because no M.A.V.O. trial is a fair one.
** In "Winter Adventure", Quellor's henchmen come to his tower and tie him up so they can get his gold formula. They skip the gag, though, because then he can't tell them what they want him to know.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: He often monograms his things with a big T for Tweeg.
* BuffySpeak: When he has some catapults built for war with the Gutangs, he calls them "springy things". When L.B. clarifies that they're called catapults, Tweeg thinks he's thinking of caterpillars.
* CaptivityHarmonica: Plays one after being thrown in the M.A.V.O. dungeon. After being fed up with being locked up, he throws it in frustration.
* CardCarryingVillain: Or card-carrying villain wannabe. In Grundo, villains usually refer to themselves as villains, including Tweeg.
* CatchYourDeathOfCold: After being caught in a sudden downpour in his burned-down house, his next scene has him sneezing under a blanket with his feet in hot water.
* TheChewToy: He never seems to stop being a source of comedic pain.
* TheChosenWannabe: Played with. In "The Faded Fobs", he thinks he's the Chosen One when tells L.B. that his destiny is to rule Grundo, but in-universe, there is no Chosen One, and the only prophecy is the ancient M.A.V.O. lore about spreading darkness across Grundo with the Crystals.
* ChronicVillainy: In the last few episodes, he seems like he's leaving villainy to follow in his father's footsteps, but the sight of Elroy's surfing winnings reminds him: once an evil genius, always an evil genius.
* ClassyCane: In some of his disguises, he dresses as a gentleman holding an old-fashioned cane.
* ClothingDamage: Notable for how it's accomplished. After accidentally blasting himself with the black box, the now mindless Tweeg wanders off from the Hard to Find City in a ditzy daze. Next time we see him, the collar of his robe is missing, the sleeves are in tatters, and his ankles are exposed due to the damage being out in the wild has done.
* ComplimentBackfire: Eleanor sets him up to fall for this. When she accuses him of calling her a liar, he denies that, but then, she gets offended by the notion that she's ''not'' a liar.
* ConMan: Swindling and cheating are explicitly in the M.A.V.O. list of required bad deeds. He does manage to do this in a couple of episodes, although he gets his comeuppance.
* ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his recipe for making gold out of buttermilk.
* CoolCrown: In a couple of {{Imagine Spot}}s, he fantasizes about wearing a royal crown. He actually gets one when he becomes the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O. for a while.
* CranialEruption: In "Thin Ice", when he opens the door while Mrs. Maggotheart is hammering a poster to it, she accidentally bops him on the head and gives him one.
* CreepyCrossdresser: He's a MasterOfDisguise, and a few of his disguises involve him dressing as a woman.
* CripplingTheCompetition: During a Grungeball game, when his team is losing bigtime, he tricks the Grunges into eating plants that give them awful stomachaches, and in Wizardweek, the only reason his team wins one event is he makes sure the other players can't get out of bed.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: His alleged gold recipe only ever comes out with buttermilk donuts. L.B. eventually figures out that he and the Bounders could make money if they started selling the donuts and only abandon the idea when L.B. thinks that the formula has worked. But even if selling donuts occurred to Tweeg, he probably wouldn't do it. Running an honest business wouldn't score any points with M.A.V.O.
* DastardlyWhiplash: Tweeg is known to wear a black outfit and moustache in his schemes, and is an {{Expy}} of Dick Dastardly.
* {{Determinator}}: You've got to give him credit. He sure doesn't give up his dream.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: After crossing a bridge during a race, Tweeg stopped to destroy it and even waited to see how the Wooly What's-It would cross it. And he wasn't even on the lead.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He does this all the time.
* DisappearedDad: Well, sort of; Tweeg's father Elroy didn't so much "disappear" as he got divorced from (kicked out by) Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, who retained custody of their son. Tweeg knew he was still alive, but never met up with him until episode 61, "Father's Day"; they do get on very well, but, ultimately, Tweeg has too much of his mother in him and he ultimately leaves his dad in shame.
* DisguisedInDrag: Sometimes he disguises himself as a woman, including his first disguise ever in "In the Fortress of the Wizard".
* DisproportionateRetribution: He decides to go to war against the Gutangs when their ambassador says that they can't afford the new subscription rate of ''True Villainy''.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: Another RunningGag. Eleanor did it in "Tweeg's Mom" and "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups",
* DoWrongRight: He pulls this on himself, knowing getting into M.A.V.O. means successfully filling a list of bad deeds. L.B. says that since he always fails at that, maybe he could try doing right wrong!
* DramaticDrop: In Wizardweek, while trying to make a magic potion, L.B. catches him by surprise and makes him drop and break the beaker.
* DrunkWithPower: After he becomes the Supreme Oppressor, he goes so mad with power that he actually declares war on the Gutangs. This time, he goes so far that L.B. betrays him and helps Quellor get back into power.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Tweeg desperately wants to be taken seriously as a villain, but nobody gives him even the slightest credit. Even his own minions mock him. To his ''face''.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: To Tweeg, anyway; his full name is actually Jack W. Tweeg. We never do find out what the "W" stands for, so it is possible he also has an EmbarrassingMiddleName.
* EmbarrassinglyPainfulSunburn: While lying on the beach in one episode, he ignores his father's advice to put on some lotion and gets a terrible sunburn on his nose.
* EmbodimentOfVice: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him in disguise, the Crystal says the trait he embodies is greed.
* EntertaininglyWrong: When he spies on the Trio, sees that they're cooking something with buttermilk and flour, and remembers how L.B., who is a jerk and a troublemaker to him, hasn't gotten any money from him in ages, he concludes that L.B. must have sold his gold recipe to Gimmick. The Trio are just baking cookies.
* EpicFlail: He tries to use a flail in "The Crystal Book", but he accidentally breaks his mother's mirror with it and drops it on his foot. So, EpicFail of Epic Flail.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Zig-zagged. He outright says that he loves her in "Tweeg's Mom". For the rest of the series, it's questionable whether what he feels for her is genuine love, although he still wants to make her proud.
* EvilGenius: He calls himself all the time, although the genius part is questionable at best.
* EvilIsHammy: Tweeg loves bragging, ChewingTheScenery, and being the center of attention.
* EvilIsPetty: He does all kinds of petty things, such as belittling his employees, refusing to thank people who help him, and not brushing his teeth. It's established in-universe that to be a proper villain, you have to do both major and minor bad deeds.
* EvilKnockoff: In "Win One for the Twipper", he becomes one for Newton Gimmick called Winston Tweeter, wearing the exact same outfit and even having the same stutter.
* EvilLaugh: He often does this when he's happy or thinks he's being clever.
* FaintInShock: At the end of his trial in "Uncle Grubby", M.A.V.O. gives him a second chance to complete his checklist, but to make sure he does it right, they assign L.B. as his supervisor, which makes him faint.
* FakingAmnesia: After getting his memory restored by the Black Box in "The Big Escape", he pretends to still have amnesia for a little while to take advantage of Eleanor and L.B.

* FreudianExcuse: Tweeg sings a song about how his mother always abused him as a child and made him into the rotten guy he is today.
* GetOut: Tells this to the Bounders when he thinks that L.B. leaked out his gold formula to the Trio.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Sometimes, L.B. will make a suggestion and Tweeg will pretend he thought of it himself, such as giving everyone the Tweezles and selling a fake cure in "The Lemonade Stand".
* GoldFever: If there's gold to be had, he's got to have it. He blows a lot of his money on buying buttermilk and flour because he thinks he has a recipe for turning it into gold.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Once, he lifts his robe to reveal orange boxers with white spots.
* GotMeDoingIt: In "In the Fortress of the Wizard" and "The Medicine Wagon", after hearing L.B. call him "Tweek" or "Tweeze" too many times, he accidentally calls himself that.
* GrapesOfLuxury: After he is declared the new Supreme Oppressor, the first thing he orders after having Quellor locked up is for Mrs. Maggotheart to peel grapes for him to eat.
* {{Greed}}: He'll do anything if it means getting rich. In "The Crystal Book", Gimmick's new invention the Crystal Stethoscope reveals that greed is a key trait of his.
* GreedMakesYouDumb: He'll commit any act of villainy to make a quick bit of gold, but sometimes, his greed is undoing. In "The Rainbow Mine", the Trio use this against him to get back everyone's money by making him think it'll make him richer. Then, when he briefly becomes Supreme Oppressor, he commits war against the Gutangs [[SillyReasonForWar when they refuse to pay the new subscription rate for a magazine]].
* GreenAndMean: He's bright green and a villain. He gets it from his Troll mother.
* GreenEyedMonster: Tweeg's vendetta against Gimmick is solely due to the fact that Gimmick is a brilliant inventor and creates many marvelous inventions, whilst Tweeg's perpetual quest to create a formula that will turn buttermilk into gold has never succeeded.
* HairTriggerAvalanche: When he fires his cannon in the winter, the noise causes an avalanche that buries him and his tower.
* HarmlessLadyDisguise: For his first disguise in the show, he dresses as a little old lady and asks for their help. The Trio don't suspect the disguised Tweeg, though they admit that "she" is a little strange.
* HatesTheirParent: While he wants to make her proud, you can't call it affection. When he realizes his mother was in a dream he had, he calls it a nightmare.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: In "Father's Day", Tweeg actually considers giving up on villainy and committing to the Surf Grunge lifestyle he actively enjoys... but, upon seeing his father's championship winnings, he can't resist his mother's training and steals them. When his dad catches him out with them, Tweeg gives them back in shame at hurting his dad and then returns to his tower, resigning himself to villainy.
* HiddenDepths: When reunited with his father, after being given an opportunity to practice, Tweeg turns out to be a natural surfer.
* HighHopesZeroTalent: All he really wants to be is a great villain like his mother, but since his talents come from his father's side, he's not very good at villainy.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Often, it's his own fault that his schemes fail because he doesn't think things through. Once he tries to use the Black Box against Quellor, only to erase his own memories because he doesn't know how to aim it.
* {{Hypochondria}}: During the Tweezle episode, he turns red with blue spots. Okay, viable reason to think you're sick. But then he starts to think he's getting other symptoms that he never had like a fever. At the end of the episode, he and the Trio sing a song about how your attitude can affect how healthy you feel.
* IAmSong: "The Black Box", he sings "I'm Tweeg" which is basically him singing about what his name is and the proper way to say it. The next episode, he gets another called "I'm the Supreme Oppressor".
* ICantLookGesture: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge ransack his tower looking for the gold formula, he scrunches his eyes and tries to look away.
* IHaveYourWife: He kidnaps Fuzz, Gimmick's pet Fob, and leaves a threatening note saying that if the Trio don't leave the valley by sundown, they'll never see him again.
* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: When he sees the result of Gimmick PalatePropping L.B., he complains, "Why am I always pulling things out of your mouth? I'm a villain, not a dentist."
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: He's not called the world's worst shot for nothing. He's so terrible at aiming his cannon that Gimmick outright states the safest place to be when Tweeg starts shooting is right where he's aiming for. He's even taken to writing "return to Tweeg" on all his cannonballs because he loses that many of them.
* InaneBlabbering: After he has his memories erased, he can only babble at first. He's gradually able to speak coherently, but he still knows nothing until his memories are returned.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: For all his antagonistic role, Tweeg just... isn't a very good villain. Even InUniverse, his "enemies" see him as more of a nuisance than an actual threat. Episode 61 actually implies Tweeg would really be happier if he gave villainy up, but he can't think of anything else to do with himself.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", Tweeg comes to the conclusion that since snowballs are sparkly, and so are the Crystals, this means the Crystals are made of snow.
* InsistentTerminology: In "The Crystal Book", he tells his mother he's not whining. He's whimpering.
* InsultBackfire: When Bognostroclum pulls a BaitAndSwitchComment that ends with insulting him, Tweeg responds that he has no time for flattery. And during the Wizardweek parade, when the crowd boos Tweeg, he takes it to mean they love him.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Tweeg hates the fact that M.A.V.O. has been hunting him like a common villain. Because he's not common, he's a ''master'' villain!
* TheKlutz: He's a real bungler in what he does and tends to be a victim of amusing injuries.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Tweeg thinks he's a genius and brags about it, but he's not nearly as clever as he thinks. Apparently, he thinks the larvae of butterflies are called catapults.
* LadiesAndGerms: He introduces his phony rainmaking machine by saying "Illipers and Perloons, Grundonians and Nogburtniks".
* LampshadeWearing: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", after he sneaks into Gimmick's house, he puts on a lampshade and pretends to be a lamp so he won't be noticed.
* LastNameBasis: Everyone calls him Tweeg. In fact, even his own parents don't call him Jack, though they often affectionately call him Tweegie.
* LateToTheRealization: Sometimes he takes a minute to realize something. For example, in the live-action special, L.B. has to tell him multiple times while he's busy feeling sorry for himself that the Airship is landing.
* LeanAndMean: He's tall, thin, and villainous.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he tricks the Elves and the Woodsprites into fighting, since the M.A.V.O. list of bad deeds includes starting a fight between perfectly good friends. He tries it again between Gimmick and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups", but Teddy solves the disagreement quickly.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Inverted. Not only does he prefer to take after his mother, but he also goes by her last name. Grunges don't have last names, though, so Elroy took Eleanor's when they married.
* LiteralMinded: When Louie visits Tweeg's lemonade stand, he orders a lemonade "on the rocks". Tweeg shrugs and dumps some lemonade on the ground.
* LivingMuseumExhibit: The Sorcerer's minions find him without his memory and deliver him to their boss, who presents him as "The Troll-Grunge with No Brain."
* LyingFingerCross: In "Wizardweek", when Teddy wishes him good luck, he crosses his fingers behind his back while he wishes him the same.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Not only does L.B. do it to Tweeg, Tweeg also does it to Teddy, calling him such names as "Teddy Dustbin" or "Teddy Rucksack".
* ManipulativeBastard: He can be this when he wants to be. He manages to manipulate the Mudblup King into letting him go by making the king think Eleanor will marry the king, and later manipulates Quellor into letting him keep his memory in exchange for the (fake) gold formula.
* MathematiciansAnswer: When Quellor asks if he acquired the Crystals by stealing or treachery, Tweeg just gives a nervous "Yes." Quellor is pleased with this answer.
* MedicineShow: In "The Medicine Wagon", he opens one to sell his phony Tweezle remedy, even getting the Bounders to do a song and dance number like a commercial.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: It's never revealed what the W stands for.
* NeverMyFault: Whenever one of his plans doesn't work, he insists that it must be L.B.'s fault.
* NoListeningSkills: He never listens to L.B. has a helpful suggestion and just brushes off L.B.'s warning that things will go wrong.
* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, is a Troll, whilst his father, Elroy, is a Surf Grunge.
* NonPromotion: Eleanor, in a rare moment of kindness, recommends Tweeg for the new keeper of the gate. Tweeg is thrilled at first because it means he's an important member of M.A.V.O. but comes to hate it when he realizes how much work it involves.
* NoSenseOfDirection: When he and L.B. fall from the ''Eclipse'' and land in the water, he insists that they're swimming in the right direction to land. The shore is right behind them without them even knowing it.
* NosyNeighbor: He's always using his telescope to spy on Gimmick's house from up in his tower, thinking that Gimmick is up to something.
* NotQuiteDead: After the ''Eclipse'' sinks into the water, Quellor wonders if Tweeg went down with it. The next scene is a shot of him and L.B. swimming away.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Although he never succeeds at doing anything too villainous, Tweeg also has a fairly ruthless streak. He actually ''sold his own mother'' to the Mudblup King as a bride in return for a trunk full of gems[[note]]although he knew the King was in love with his mother, and she herself was willing to go along with it once Tweeg thought to bribe her[[/note]], and once abducted Gimmick's pet Fob, Fuzz, in order to blackmail Gimmick into leaving the valley.
* OldTimeyBathingSuit: He wears a blue-and-yellow-striped one in "Air and Water Races".
* OpportunisticBastard: He loves to seize any opportunity that pops up to get rich or commit an evil deed. Unfortunately, he doesn't think long-term, just focusing on the opportunity itself, so it rarely goes well.
* TheParanoiac: He's got more than enough criteria to count:
** NeverMyFault: He blame others, mostly L.B., when one of his plans goes wrong while [[GladIThoughtOfIt taking credit for L.B.'s good ideas]].
** [[JadeColoredGlasses Suspiciousness / Cynicism]]: He's very suspicious of the Trio, assumes that they're out to get him, and believes that he has to lie and cheat to get what he wants.
** {{Jerkass}}: He rarely cares about anyone but himself.
** [[{{Narcissist}} Self-Importance]]: He thinks he's a genius and that it's his destiny to be the richest and greatest villain in Grundo.
** ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his gold formula.
* PatchworkKids: He's half-Troll, half-Grunge and looks it. He has the tall, humanoid build of a Grunge but has his mother's green Troll skin. And while he follows his mother's morality, he gets his father's talents.
* PieInTheFace: When M.A.V.O. finally gets the Crystals, the monsters are so happy that they have fun throwing pies around the meeting room. One hits Tweeg.
* PlotAllergy: Complains when he gets covered in strawberry juice that strawberries give him a rash.
* PolkaDotDisease: Subverted. He wakes up one morning having turned red with blue dots all over and thinks he has this. L.B. calls the condition the Tweezles. After the Trio try to help him, they figure it out that skin only changed because he drank Rainbow Falls water.
* PowderGag: In "Double Grubby", when his cannon misfires, the ball lands on the flour bag L.B. stole and leaves him covered with flour. It makes him look like an Illiop.
* ThePrankster: He turns into one in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball". When forced to greet party guests at the door, he does so with practical jokes. Apparently, M.A.V.O.'s spell of evil even made him be a better bad guy.
* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: He wears a dark purple robe. The ambiguity of purple is fitting for a guy who [[EvilWearsBlack wants to be a villain]] but [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain never quite makes it]].
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: This sometimes happens him when he fires his cannon. Since he lives at the top of a tower, he's prone to riding his cannon backwards down his long spiral staircase.
* RemovingTheRival: One of his favorite tactics in a competition is this. During a Grungeball game, he gives some of the other team a stomachache, allowing his own team to catch up, and in Wizardweek, the only event his team won was the synchronized swimming because he sabotaged all the other teams.
* ReplacedWithReplica: In "Winter Adventure", the Bounders help him escape Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge by replacing him with a dummy.
* TheRival: He sees his relationship with Gimmick as this, though they play it straighter during sporting events when they compete against each other.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: He's green and wears purple. At one point, it's revealed that he wears orange underwear, completing the set.
* ShamedByAMob: [[spoiler:After L.B. gives his wedding vows to Buffy]], Tweeg says, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." The guests glare at him angrily.
* SharpDressedMan: Some of his disguises have him dressed in a suit and tie to look like a respectable businessman.
* SissyVillain: He's really skinny, crossdresses multiple times in the series, and has a voice that sounds like it never aged properly.
* SlipperySkid: In "King Nogburt's Castle", he runs onto his balcony, steps on one of his cannonballs, and rolls and crashes right through his railing.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He calls himself an EvilGenius, but he's not nearly as smart (or for that matter as evil) as he thinks he is. The times when he actually knows what he's doing in his schemes are few and far between.
* SmartBall: Tweeg manages to catch the smart ball several times in the series by coming up with legitimately good ideas. These include tricking the Trio into letting him ride up to the Hard to Find City in disguise, swindling them into buying phony medicine from him, manipulating Quellor into letting him keep his restored memory, and engineering his own escape from jail ''by selling out his own mother!''
* SmugSnake: A villain who thinks he's way better than he really is. He often looks smug until his plans turn sideways.
* SnakeOilSalesman: One of his favorite ways to get quick cash, either by selling dubious knickknacks imagined problems or a largely harmless "cure-all" potion that gives its drinkers spots.
* SodaCanShakeup: After stealing Grubby's root beer recipe and selling it as "Villain Up", the customers want a little more fizz. So shakes a whole barrel of it as much as he can, and it explodes, splashing everyone.
* SpeechImpediment: When dressed as a little boy selling lemonade, he uses a fake impediment to make him sound more childish, somewhere between a mild lisp and mild ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
* StaircaseTumble: He's prone to falling down his staircase. And since he lives at the top of the tower with a long, spiraling stone staircase, it's a long and painful fall.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Any time he looks like he's going to succeed doesn't last long. At one point, he becomes Supreme Oppressor, only to lose the spot by the end of the next episode.
* StickyFingers: Stealing is one of the things he has to do to join M.A.V.O. When he visits his mother and she opens her safe, he snatches a ruby. She catches him in the act but comments that he's got the right idea.
* StupidestThingIveEverHeard: He says just this about [[spoiler:L.B.'s wedding vows to Buffy]], which are really just a piece of bad poetry. The other guests give Tweeg a DeathGlare.
* SurferDude: He tries to adopt this lifestyle to bond with his father and picks up the slang quickly, although he eventually goes back to being a villain.
* TakingCandyFromABaby: This is on the checklist of bad deeds for someone who wants to join M.A.V.O. He even forces L.B. to stand in for a baby for practice. At one point, he does steal candy from baby Fobs, but Wooly was there at the time and angrily forces him to give it back.
* TallyMarksOnThePrisonWall: While locked up in "Autumn Adventure". It's parodied because he's actually marking off the minutes.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Apart from the Rainbow Falls lemonade fiasco, he hides a special plant that causes a belly ache in some hot dogs and tricks the Grunges into eating them.
* TemptingFate: In "Beware of the Mudblups", he swears he'll get the best of Gimmick one day. "May I be struck from above if I don't." He immediately gets struck by some root stew that was dumped overboard the Airship.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: In some episodes, he announces it, such as in "Tweeg Gets the Tweezles" when he says he feels a song coming on.
* ThatsAnOrder: When he forces L.B. to scrape the slime off the bottom of the ''Eclipse'', he says that he's ordering and not asking him to do it.
* ThisMeansWar: During his brief reign as the Supreme Oppressor, he says this to the Gutang Ambassador.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Despite his many failures, occasionally, he manages to actually do something nasty that works. In "Teddy and the Mudblups", he sells out his own mother to the Mudblup King, which is a triple whammy for his checklist of bad deeds.
* TrappedTheWrongTarget: When he finds out that there's a reward for capturing Teddy, he tries to find him with a net. He hears someone coming and catches L.B. by mistake.
* TheUnFavourite: He's actually an only child, and he still manages to be this in his mother's eyes.
* UngratefulBastard: One episode had Tweeg believing he had some horrible disease. The Trio, at L.B.'s request, came to the tower to help and offered folk remedies. Finally, Gimmick figured out that Tweeg had been drinking water from Rainbow Falls. Rather than be thankful his "disease" is just a temporary discoloration, Tweeg throws a fit, demanding Gimmick and company leave his tower and accusing them of using this as an opportunity to torture him and learn his secrets.
* VillainousMotherSonDuo: With his mother Eleanor, whenever they manage to get on the same page. She will not miss a chance to berate and belittle him, but Eleanor is quite supportive of her son's villainous career and will express pride when he manages to pull off a dastardly plan (one example being when he sold her to the Mudblup King for his own freedom and a truck of jewels).
* WalkingDisasterArea: He's such a bungler that you can count episodes where he doesn't cause disaster on one hand.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Part of the reason Tweeg is driven to become a great villain is to make his mother proud. Even little things like hearing her call him "son" fill him with joy.
* WhosLaughingNow: When he briefly becomes the new Supreme Oppressor, he basks in it by getting back at others, throwing Quellor in the dungeon and forcing Mrs. Maggotheart to feed him GrapesOfLuxury.
* WingdingEyes: After he has his memory erased, he has spirals or circles around his pupils.
* WordSchmord: In "The Black Box", Tweeg says "Screwdriver Schmewdriver" because what L.B. stole is more important than the tool he needed before.
* XanatosSpeedChess: When he quickly changes their cover from portrait painters to housepainters to infiltrate the castle, he explains to L.B. that part of being a good villain is adjusting your plans.
* YoureInsane: When M.A.V.O. is short on funds and Mrs. Maggotheart suggests selling M.A.V.O.'s gold and jewels, then-Supreme Oppressor Tweeg calls her a nut.

!!L.B.
->'''Voiced by:''' Tony Pope (books and special), Robert Bockstael (series)

The long-suffering minion to Tweeg, L.B. (Lead Bounder) is a sarcastic little creature who loves nothing more than to snipe at Tweeg every chance he gets.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Fuzz acts like a DefiantCaptive by {{troll}}ing Tweeg, L.B. finds it hilarious.
* AdaptationDyeJob: The tuft of hair around his horn is yellow in the books, brown in the live-action special, and pink in the cartoon.
* AffablyEvil: L.B.'s a villain but not really a bad guy. Ironically, the only one he's really mean to is his boss. At least he and Teddy manage to get along late in the series.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: In "The Hard to Find City", Tweeg responds to L.B.'s smart remark by stepping on his foot.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: L.B. ransacks Gimmick's house so he can steal the Crystals for Tweeg.
* AndThenISaid: In "The Crystal Book", after a cut to a scene of them on route, he tells Eleanor, "And that was when all my problems in nursery school first started."
* ArmlessBiped: All Bounders have no arms.
* AsideGlance: He occasionally looks or speaks in the direction of the viewer, making him the only character to break the fourth wall.
* BeachKiss: In "On the Beaches", [[spoiler:after L.B. proposes to Buffy, they kiss and are struck by a wave, which makes their kiss seem more powerful]].
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason why he manages to become a FriendlyEnemy to Teddy is because Teddy treated him a lot nicer than any villain ever did. Teddy even saved his life.
* BeleagueredAssistant: L.B. is constantly put upon, cleaning house, pulling the wagon, and basically doing whatever his boss tells him to. Rarely does Tweeg show any appreciation for what he does, let alone even pay him. L.B. grumbles but never seems to quit.
* BenevolentBoss: L.B. during his brief run as the head of M.A.V.O., his first (and only) major order is to hold a massive party and invite all members across Grundo to attend. He is also this to the gang of Bounders, even going using his wedding present to give them the backpay they're owed from Tweeg when he could have easily kept it.
* BerserkButton: L.B. constantly puts up with getting insulted and abused by Tweeg, but in "Anything in the Soup", when Tweeg insult L.B.'s girlfriend, that is going too far.

* BlowingARaspberry: Does this to Eleanor in "Tweeg's Mom" after she calls him an overgrown tomato.
* BouncingBattler: Being a Bounder, he's known to attack this way. In the first episode, he has his team attack Teddy and Grubby this way.
* CallousnessTowardsEmergency: In "The Great Grundo Ground Race", when he sees Tweeg stuck in a quicksand pit, instead of trying to help, he and his gang decide to stand, watch, and sing a barbershop song about how he's sinking.
* CharacterDevelopment: One of the few villains who receive it. At the start, he shows no love for the good guys, but by the end of the series, he has become a bit of a FriendlyEnemy to Teddy.
* ComedicSociopathy: Whenever Tweeg falls, gets hit by something, or any other funny injury, L.B. can only stand there and laugh madly.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Even though L.B.'s funny remarks are usually just him being a smartass to his boss, there are times when he misses the point of what Tweeg says. Sometimes, he misses the point ''because'' he's being a smartass:
-->'''Tweeg:''' There must be something I can do wrong! What am I doing right?\\
'''L.B.:''' You ain't doing nothing right.\\
'''Tweeg:''' No, no, L.B.! I want to [[DoWrongRight do something wrong right]]!\\
'''L.B.:''' How about if you did something right wrong?
* ComplimentBackfire: In "The Faded Fobs", when Tweeg calls him a good Bounder for obeying his orders, L.B. claims there's no such thing as a ''good'' Bounder.
* DangerThinIce: In "Teddy's Quest", while trying to make his way through the snow, he has to cross a frozen, and the ice breaks. He would have died if Teddy wasn't around to save him.

* DestinationDefenestration: After Quellor returns, Black Box in hand, to reclaim his position of power, he kicks L.B. out the window.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: In "Wizardland", Eleanor answers her door and slams it into him.
* DragonAscendant: Accidentally managed to become the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O., making him (temporarily) Tweeg's boss. Tweeg handled it with about as much grace as you'd expect from him.
* DreamWalker: In "King Nogburt's Castle", L.B. appears to physically jump into Tweeg's dream (presented as a thought bubble) to wake him up.
* DudeWheresMyReward: L.B. often complains about how Tweeg doesn't pay him for months at a time. Then, after he goes to work for Quellor, he complains that he hasn't received a reward for helping Quellor get his power back. Quellor says the reward is the privilege of working for him.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: For all the work he does for Tweeg, the latter rarely shows any appreciation for it, just treating him like a servant whose purpose is for him to kick around.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Unlike his boss, he seems to genuinely love his mother when she shows up.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The focus of a song as L.B. could not for the life of him figure out why the Trio were willing to take care of a sick Tweeg. He also didn't understand why Teddy saved him from drowning in a frozen pond either. Subverted near the end after L.B. pays Teddy back, L.B. comments to himself that it felt nice doing a good deed.
* EvilCannotStandCuteness: L.B. hates Fobs because they're so nice, cute, and helpful.
* EyepatchOfPower: When they join the M.A.V.O. pirates on the ''Eclipse'', L.B. wears one to look DressedToPlunder.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When he breaks through the river ice in the middle of winter and finds himself unable to escape, he prepares to accept his fate in the most dignified way he can.
* FirstNameBasis: By the last major story arc, he's started calling Teddy by his first name, cementing their FriendlyEnemy relationship.
* FriendlyEnemy: He works for Tweeg, but he doesn't really consider Gimmick or the others to be his actual enemies; [[PunchClockVillain he's simply doing his job]]. Late in the series, it's implied that he and Teddy could actually be friends if L.B. wasn't working for a villain.
* TheGadfly: Mostly towards Tweeg. He makes wisecracks at his expense because he loves to get a rise out of him.
* GettingTheBoot: After he gets caught trying to steal the Black Box in "Octopede Sailors", he's thrown out the M.A.V.O. Headquarters door and lands in the mud.
* GooGooGetup: In "Sign of a Friend", when Tweeg needs to practice taking candy from a baby, he forces L.B. to put on a bonnet and sit in a pram.
* HandyFeet: Bounders ''can'' do this, but they rarely do because it's hard for them to stand on one foot. Mostly, they use their mouths or horns to hold things.
* HarmlessFreezing: After falling in frozen water and sitting in there for a few minutes waiting to drown, Teddy rescues him and he's fine after sitting by a fire for a while.
* HumanDoorstop: Forced to be a stepping stool in "Tweeg's Mom" when Eleanor gets off the wagon.
* HumanSnowman: After the snow falls from a tree on top of him, the other Bounders call him the Abominable Snowbounder.
* TheImp: Subverted. Bounders are small, troublesome villains and are generally seen as a nuisance by both the heroes and their superiors. But L.B. is a lot more competent than his boss and even manages to become Supreme Oppressor for a time.
* InsultBackfire: After Quellor makes him Tweeg's supervisor, Tweeg says, "You couldn't supervise slime!" L.B. turns it around by saying, "That's what I keep telling them, but they gave me the job anyway."
* IWarnedYou: Tweeg never seems to listen to L.B.'s warnings that something is going to go wrong.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Occasionally, when Tweeg is actually listening to L.B. for a change, he'll admit that L.B., for all of his insults and complaints, has a point. For example, when Tweeg gets a load of gold in "Through Tweeg's Fingers", L.B. points out he may not get a chance to show it to Quellor once Eleanor sees the gold. Tweeg agrees and decides to skip his mother's house and go straight to Quellor.
* LadiesAndGerms: He says "Ladies and gentlemonsters" in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball".
* TheLeader: Of the Bounders. His initials stand for "Lead Bounder".
* LimaSyndrome: After Tweeg kidnaps Fuzz and locks him in a cage, he comes to like the little guy. This is mainly because Fuzz enjoys trolling Tweeg as much as L.B., but considering L.B.'s general opinion of Fobs, it says a lot.
* LiteralMinded: In "Double Grubby", L.B. thinks a cat burglar means someone who steals cats.
* LoveAtFirstSight: He once claimed that he fell for Buffy from the moment he laid eyes on her.
* MakesUsEven: During his brief reign as Supreme Oppressor, M.A.V.O. captures him. He orders them to let him go to pay him back for saving his life, making them even.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Frequently gets Tweeg's name wrong on purpose, calling him things like Twizzle or [[HaveAGayOldTime Twink]], to annoy and irritate him. This often prompts Tweeg to angrily spell his name out loud. It occasionally extends to other characters too. He once called Teddy Ruxpin "Teddy Fishfin", Gimmick "Limerick", and Quellor "Queelor". Even King Nogburt himself is not immune, as he's called him "King Nogburl/Nogburn/Nosebleed".
* MisspellingOutLoud: In "The Third Crystal", when Tweeg once again clarifies that his name is spelled T-W-E-E-G, L.B. retorts that "It'll be M-U-D-D mud."
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: In "The Hard to Find City", after getting sick of Tweeg going mad with power, he makes a deal with Quellor: he'll help him get back into power if he can become his "right-hand Bounder". Quellor agrees. But to Quellor, that job amounts to being a maid for all of M.A.V.O. Headquarters. L.B. decides that Quellor treats him worse than Tweeg ever did, so he decides to get his own boss and his old job back.
* MusicalNumberAnnoyance: He sometimes gets annoyed when Tweeg bursts into song. In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains", when Tweeg feels a song coming on, L.B. wishes he had hands so he could cover his ears.
* MyBelovedSmother: His mother means well but is way too controlling when it comes to [[spoiler:planning his wedding to Buffy]].
* MyNewGiftIsLame: Just about everyone brings a gift to [[spoiler:his and Buffy's wedding]], but a lot of it looks like unwanted junk to him.
* NobleDemon: He may be on the villains' side, but he's got a sense of honor. During his M.A.V.O. reign, after he remembers how Teddy saved him from drowning, he declares that he owes him, so he orders the monsters to let him go.
* NotInMyContract: In "Sign of a Friend", when forced to help Tweeg practice taking candy from a baby, L.B. complains that playing babies isn't in his contract.
* NotSoFinalConfession: When he thinks he's going to down in icy water, he declares "Buffy, I...I love you! I never told you, and I'm sorry!" She's not actually there to hear it, but the sentiment is there. He's just trying to get his regrets off his chest while he's still alive.
* NumberTwo: Among the Bounders, he's Tweeg's second in command.
* OfficialCouple: Buffy is his girlfriend [[spoiler:and eventual wife]].
* OnlySaneMan: To Tweeg's crew. Tweeg is an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, and the other Bounders are not very bright.
* PersonalMook: To Tweeg. The Bounders work for him, but L.B.'s his right-hand Bounder.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's tiny compared to Tweeg, but he can pull Tweeg's wagon with Tweeg in it.
* PrehensileTail: Because L.B. doesn't have hands, he sometimes uses his stubby tail as a hand, although he prefers to use his mouth.
* PunchClockVillain: L.B. isn't really evil. For the most part he just wants to be entertained and have fun, he just has a moral bar that's lower than most people.
* PungeonMaster: He loves making puns, usually to mock Tweeg.
* RefuseToRescueTheDisliked: Downplayed. He doesn't exactly refuse, but he's reluctant to rescue Tweeg when he falls into a pit of quicksand. He comes around when Tweeg even offers to finally pay him, but it's all for nothing when Quellor's thugs come along and pull him out.
* RememberedTooLate: In "Wizardweek", when Tweeg tries to launch himself from a catapult, he says that this time, he's accounted for both height and wind direction. "What else is there?" L.B. thinks he forgot a factor and only remembers what it is after Tweeg is launched: distance!
* RousingSpeech: Double-subverted. When he acts as a coach to the Mudblup Mashers Grungeball team, the "pep talk" he gives is anything but encouraging. But for some reason, it does give them the confidence to go out and win. As L.B. says, Mudblups are really stupid.
* RunningOnTheSpot: Near the end of "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when Quellor threatens to throw him in the dungeon for usurping his position, he does this while trying to run away, giving Quellor enough time to kick him out the window.
* SelfDeprecation: He admits to himself that he can't be all that smart if he willingly works for someone like Tweeg.
* ShoutOut: He makes several of them.
** When a cannon misfire causes Tweeg to get splattered with flour, L.B. says, "Now, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That%27s_Entertainment! that's entertainment]]."
** While he and Tweeg are M.A.V.O. prisoners and Tweeg is forced to load the ''Eclipse'' with cargo, L.B. says to [[Theatre/ShowBoat "tote these bales onto that barge."]]
** When he decides to FaceDeathWithDignity while sinking into a frozen lake, he looks back on his life and says [[Creator/FrankSinatra "I did it my way".]]
* SignatureLaugh: A wheezing laugh, often heard when Tweeg suffers from amusing misfortune.
* SillyLoveSongs: At the M.A.V.O. costume ball, he sings one for his girlfriend called "Your Rotten Heart, Your Ugly Face". To a villain, it's flattery, but to everyone else, the things he compares her to in the song make it seem like a silly way to be romantic.
* SlaveToPR: After he lets Teddy go from M.A.V.O., he makes it clear that he means "Don't mention it" literally because he has a reputation to uphold.
* StatusQuoIsGod: No matter what happens in the series, even if they're separated for a few episodes, he always manages to go back to working for Tweeg.
* TuftOfHeadFur: Some Bounders have a head full of hair, but L.B. just has a tuft of pink hair around the base of his horn.
* UseYourHead: Tweeg tells him to do this to help him move a treasure chest in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains". Just before L.B. makes contact, the treasure disappears, and he sends Tweeg flying backwards instead.
* VillainousValor: Although L.B's status as "evil" is arguable, he does have a fairly strong code of honor. He made sure to repay Teddy for saving his life when he got the chance, even if the decision was an unpopular one.
* WaddlingHead: Well, hopping head, but same thing. A Bounder is just a large head with a pair of legs and a tail sticking out the back.
* WavingSignsAround: In "Teddy's Quest", he and the Bounders are so fed up with Tweeg putting off their paychecks for so long that they start a protest at the tower, waving signs, demanding that he finally pay them.
* WhosLaughingNow: After being put upon and abused for so long, he pulls this on Tweeg twice in the series. When Quellor demands that Tweeg complete the M.A.V.O. checklist of bad deeds by the next initiation day, L.B. is made his supervisor to make sure he does it. Now Tweeg has to do what he says, and L.B. takes full advantage of it. Then when L.B. becomes Supreme Oppressor, he makes Tweeg do humiliating tasks like delivering party invitations.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: L.B. is terrified of ''Fobs'. You know, those cute little rainbow-hued fluffy guys? That's like being afraid of a declawed kitten.
* WinOneForTheGipper: In the episode appropriately titled "Win One for the Twipper", he gives a villainous version to the Mudblup Mashers. It gives them confidence, but it doesn't work because the other team is just too good for them. The Mashers only catch up when Tweeg sabotages the competition.
* YouDontWantToCatchThis: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge grab Tweeg and try to take him back to Quellor, L.B. saves him by telling them that Tweeg has a fatal, contagious disease called Woofinpoof disease. This scares them away.

!!M.A.V.O.
[[folder:In General]]
!!In General
The Monsters and Villains Organization. Made up of the most ruthless and evil villains in Grundo, M.A.V.O.'s goal is to gather the Crystals and use their power to spread evil and darkness across Grundo. Tweeg's lifelong dream is to join M.A.V.O., but to do that, he must do a truly nasty deed.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: M.A.V.O. is mentioned in the books and is on the map of Grundo, but it only exists to give Tweeg a motive for wanting to be a villain. Here, it not only appears, but gets a whole cast of characters.
* AllTrollsAreDifferent: Many members are trolls, but they don't seem to follow any pattern other than being ugly and vaguely humanoid. They come in all different shapes, colors, and sizes.
* AnimalMotifs: The bull is prominently featured in their architecture. Bulls are known for being strong and fierce.
* AscendedExtra: From a mere mention in the books to being a full-blown cast of characters in the TV series.
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: Their goal is to spread darkness and evil across the land, and they worry about being free from "the threat of goodness".
* CanonForeigner: All members of M.A.V.O. were invented for the cartoon except Tweeg's mother, who is mentioned in passing in the books.
* CardCarryingVillain: Literally. M.A.V.O. membership comes with a card, though only Ms. Maggotheart presents hers (usually when shaking down another member for their late dues).
* CastOfSnowflakes: The nameless background M.A.V.O. members all have unique designs that get used over and over to fill a crowd, so almost every member is at least a RecurringExtra.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Tweeg is an IneffectualSympatheticVillain who wants to be rich and powerful. M.A.V.O. is introduced in the second arc as a legitimately dangerous evil organization whose goal is to spread a HatePlague across Grundo.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: They have all kinds of punishments for people who disappoint or anger the Supreme Oppressor, but one of the worst is being forced to spend a day locked in a room with ''the M.A.V.O. dues collector!''
* EvilMinions: Generally, any member who doesn't normally fight, such as Bognostroclum, Mrs. Maggotheart, or the Understander of Legends.
* ForTheEvulz: They do things just because it's evil. However, it gets a bit more development than in most series. In the world of this show, being evil is treated as a lifestyle and a culture, and it's a case of BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad.
* FunWithAcronyms: M.A.V.O. stands for the '''M'''onsters '''a'''nd '''V'''illains '''O'''rganization.
* GottaCatchThemAll: M.A.V.O. must gather all the Crystals to spread their spell of darkness. Over the course of a couple of episodes, they get scattered as they're stolen and passed between villains who each decide to hoard one for themselves, forcing Tweeg to gather them again.
* HatePlague: The primary goal of M.A.V.O. is to spread a stormy darkness over Grundo that causes plants to start withering and bring out the worst in the population of the land. [[spoiler:They succeed, at least for a while.]]
* ItMustBeMine: They must have the Crystals to spread their spell of darkness across Grundo and make them all-powerful.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A shot of the Headquarters is often accompanied by a distinctive dark and unsettling piece.
* KangarooCourt: One of the plots of "Uncle Grubby" was Tweeg being taken to M.A.V.O. court to answer for his failures. A rule prohibited the defendant (Tweeg) from speaking.
* LoyalToThePosition: They are compelled to obey whoever happens to be the Supreme Oppressor because the Supreme Oppressor has the memory-erasing Black Box.
* {{Mooks}}: Any member of M.A.V.O. who's not named is treated as one, although none of them are killed. If you pay attention, there are several recurring individual mooks.
* {{Mordor}}: The patch of mountains where M.A.V.O. HQ is situated is usually dark and cloudy, surrounded by desolate-looking crags and bluffs.
* MysteriousPast: Where M.A.V.O. came from and how they were established is never revealed, and the only members whose backstories are revealed are Eleanor and Drudge.
* NebulousEvilOrganization: Their agenda is to spread evil and darkness across Grundo. It's called the Monsters and Villains Organization for a reason.
* RecurringExtra: Several nameless members of M.A.V.O. have very distinct designs and are reused whenever random monsters are needed to do something or a crowd needs to be filled.
* StandardEvilEmpireHierarchy: The main members of M.A.V.O. fill several of the standard roles.
** TheEmperor: Quellor, the Supreme Oppressor.
** The Right Hand: The Understander of Legends, Quellor's librarian and bookkeeper.
** The Guard: Ickly Bognostroclum, the M.A.V.O. gatekeeper.
** The Security Officer: Mrs. Maggotheart, the M.A.V.O. "collector of dues" who makes sure the other members complete their list of bad deeds.
** The Oddball: Sludge, Drudge and Trudge, as well as Tweeg whenever he manages to become a member.
* VilerNewVillain: Throughout the first arc, Tweeg and L.B. establish themselves as an evil comic duo. M.A.V.O. is then introduced as a truly serious threat where even the idiots are something to fear, and they want to spread a HatePlague across Grundo.
* VillainSong: M.A.V.O. has its own in-universe official anthem about how they're villains, which they often sing at meetings.
* VillainsOutShopping: Like most people, they like to take a break from their usual activities and have fun. In one episode, they have a costume party with music and dancing.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Quellor]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Les Lye
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg's Mom"
The feared overlord of M.A.V.O., Quellor is the closest thing the series has to an overarching bad guy. He has a nasty habit of erasing the memory of those who displease him and selling them off to the Ying Zoo.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His sword can slice right through solid wood.
* AngryCollarGrab: He picks up Tweeg by the collar and throws him across the room to convince him to hand over his gold formula.
* BadBoss: An interesting example. While he has all the earmarks of this, he IS the leader of an ObviouslyEvil NebulousEvilOrganisation, and this is actually expected of him in the group's bylaws.
* BigBad: He's the ''real'' antagonist behind the entire course of the show. His ambition to collect all of the crystals and generally cause mayhem is what drives most of the show's conflict.
* BigBadEnsemble: There are several independent factions of villains in the series, so he's part of one, along with Tweeg, the Sorcerer, the Mudblup King, and the Gutangs.
* BigShutUp: He prefers the word "Silence!", which he'll yell to shut up those beneath him.
* BigWhat: He tends to yell "What?!" when he hears something shocking, such as after he learns that a Crystal was stolen from an Illiop in "Tweeg's Mom".
* BillBillJunkBill: In "The Ying Zoo", he sorts through his mail, saying "Death threats, eviction notices, catastrophe predictions...how come I never get anything interesting?"
* BreakoutVillain: Around mid-series, he replaces Tweeg as the main villain. Most fans agree that he makes a better BigBad than the latter.
* BrightIsNotGood: His outfit is partly bright gold, but he's a villain.
* BuriedAlive: In "Musical Oppressors", when he corners Teddy in a cave, he accidentally causes a rockslide that briefly buries him, though he's fine when he climbs out of it.
* CanonForeigner: Along with the other members of M.A.V.O., Quellor was created just for the animated series.
* CirclingBirdies: In "Teddy's Quest", after getting knocked out by Trudge's club, he lays on the ground unconscious, stars swirling over his head.
* CoolChair: As the Supreme Oppressor, he gets an ornate stone throne at the top of a flight of stairs where he can look down on everyone.
* ConvenientlyCellmates: Following a coup at M.A.V.O., the deposed Quellor soon finds himself in one of his own prison cells. An episode later finds him joined by Teddy of all people, and the two even get to sing a duet about how little either of them likes being jailed (this does not lead to bonding between the two).
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes. When Tweeg promises Quellor that he won't fail him, right before klutzing out, Quellor says, "That would be a nice change."
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Surprisingly, when he threatens to erase Tweeg's memory, if Tweeg did not reveal him the secret gold-making formula. Tweeg rather logically pointed out, that if Quellor erased his memory, he would erase the formula, too.
* DismissingACompliment: In one episode, after getting tired of Bognostroclum's many creative honorifics titles for him, he tells him to knock off the cheap flattery.
* DuetOfDifferences: When he and Teddy are in the same boat, they sing the duet "All Locked Up" about how they want to get out of jail, but for opposite reasons: [[TheHero Teddy]] has a desire to do good for everyone, while [[BigBad Quellor]] wants out so he can bring evil.
* EnragedByIdiocy: He gets furious with Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge whenever they say or do anything stupid.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's the most treacherous and feared villain in Grundo, and it's his goal to spread evil throughout the land, but he's also proud of the business relationship that M.A.V.O. has with the Gutangs, and when Tweeg declares war against the Gutangs for petty reasons, he's disgusted. Quellor may be the Supreme Oppressor, but he earned it by [[DoWrongRight doing wrong right]].
* EvilIsHammy: Quellor talks as big as he looks.
* EvilLaugh: Unlike Tweeg, who's just a wannabe, his deep evil laugh sounds really frightening.
* EvilOverlord: As the Supreme Oppressor of the Monsters and Villains Organization of Grundo, you know he's got this going on.
* EvilSoundsDeep: He has by far one of the deepest voices of any character in the series.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: Not only is his voice deep, it's raspy too, and he's the BigBad.
* FantasticHonorifics: Bognostroclum loves coming up with creative evil honorifics for him like "Your Gruesomeness", "Your Vileness", "Your Wickedness", "Your Nastiness", etc.
* FlatYes: Delivers one to the Sorcerer in "The Big Escape" when the Sorcerer asks if Quellor expects him to hand over his star attraction Tweeg.
* GeniusBruiser: He's large, strong, and physically intimidating but also a very competent leader.
* GetOut: Twice in the series--once where he discovers his henchmen lied to him about killing Tweeg, and once after hearing them ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with his orders--he gives them a furious "Out! Out! OUT!"
* AGlassInTheHand: In "The Big Escape", he crushes a goblet in his fingers.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Near the end of "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball" when he approaches L.B. to reclaim his title of Supreme Oppressor, his eyes turn a glowing yellow to show L.B. how screwed he is.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Believe it or not, Teddy and Quellor sing a duet together when they're both trapped in M.A.V.O.'s prison. They manage not to be overtly antagonistic towards each other, though Quellor's lines lamenting not having the freedom to be an EvilOverlord do creep Teddy out.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Wears a gold hood, cape, and belt to symbolize he's the leader of M.A.V.O.
* HairTriggerTemper: Do the slightest thing to annoy him and he'll go into a rage.
* HappinessIsMandatory: According to Bognostroclum, there's actually a rule in the M.A.V.O. handbook that the Supreme Oppressor must have at least fifteen minutes of fun per day.
* HarmlessElectrocution: In "The Big Escape", he gets so overloaded with electricity that you can see his skeleton. He's fine afterwards.
* HeroVsVillainDuet: Teddy and Quellor sing a duet called "All Locked Up" while they're both imprisoned in M.A.V.O.'s Dungeon, with Teddy lamenting that while locked up, he's unable to help his friends, cheer people up, or explore, whereas Quellor is angry he can't spread darkness, kick a [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Fob]] and make it yelp, or be cruel to his grandmother. Funnily enough, while they do react to each other's verses, they manage to keep the harmony through the whole song and don't break down into any sort of insults.
* HiddenDepths: "The Hard to Find City" reveals that he can fly a plane.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After he briefly gives himself PsychoElectro powers, he thinks it's the perfect weapon. He never realized until it was too late that once the generator shorts out, the only one who'll get electrocuted is him.
* HornedHumanoid: He has two horns and looks like a tall humanoid.
* IControlMyMinionsThrough: He's an example of both Fear and Power. As the Supreme Oppressor, he is the leader of M.A.V.O. and holds the Black Box, a magical device that can erase your memory.
* IDontPayYouToThink: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", when they're trying to replicate Tweeg's gold formula, and Sludge has his doubts about the recipe, Quellor says, "I do not require you to think."
* ImprovisedWeapon: When he follows Teddy into a cave in "Musical Oppressors", he rips a stalactite out of the ceiling and uses it as a club.
* InTheHood: He always wears his hood and mask, so all we see of his face are his white eyes.
* IWantSong: "All Locked Up", a duet he shares with Teddy of all characters, is about how they both want to get out of prison, though for different reasons.
* KnightOfCerebus: Decidedly more competent than many of the other villains, things tended to get fairly serious when Quellor took part in the plot.
* LargeAndInCharge: Is easily the biggest member of M.A.V.O., though this is not the only reason he's in charge.
* LaserGuidedKarma: On his way to attack a supposedly captive and helpless Teddy, Quellor gets to be on the receiving end of his own newly acquired ShockAndAwe powers when Teddy's cage barely misses him but does nail Trudge, who is carrying Quellor's power source, severely damaging it. The resulting XRaySparks experience is poetic justice given he was probably planning to zap Teddy if he'd gotten to him.
* LetsSeeYouDoBetter: In "Leekee Lake", when an underling says he's hardly the Supreme Oppressor after he loses the Black Box, Quellor threateningly asks if he thinks he could do a better job.
* LiteralAssKicking: Kicks Drudge down a hill in frustration in "Up for Air". He also kicks L.B. out a window when he reclaims his power in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball".
* LookBehindYou: He tries to pull this on Trudge when his henchmen betray him. He didn't count on it causing a PlankGag.
* LostMyAppetite: In "The Great Grundo Ground Race", after he complains that his breakfast is moving and Trudge deals with it by smashing it with his club to, Quellor says this.
* MagicEnhancement: After all the Crystals are in the great ring and M.A.V.O.'s HatePlague spreads across Grundo, Quellor is even stronger than usual.
* MasterSwordsman: He handles his sword with great expertise, although we only see it used on non-living objects.
* MistakenForAnImposter: In "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when he returns to the meeting hall after Teddy's escape, L.B. thinks he's someone in a Quellor costume for a party and even awards him first place for the funniest costume.
* OhCrap: When he sees the power pack for his PsychoElectro abilities begin to short out, Quellor immediately tries to escape his harness, but has no luck. The last instant before the power surge hits is a closeup of Quellor's horrified face as he realizes what's about to happen, enhanced by the fact that his normally featureless eyes have been given small pupils to emphasize his feelings. You almost feel sorry for him.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Zig-zagged. Before he meets Teddy, he's never seen outside of M.A.V.O. Headquarters. He'd prefer to send his henchmen to do things for himself while he stays at the Headquarters, but he's not afraid to lead the charge himself. He personally oversees the maiden voyage of the ''Eclipse'', the search for the Black Box, and the expedition to Ying.
* OrderedApology: After Sludge calls Trudge fat, Quellor orders him to say he's sorry.
* PetTheDog: He shows a surprising amount of affection toward his "pets", especially a unique gray one named Dweezil. He also sometimes thanks his underlings when they actually do something useful.
* PsychoElectro: Quellor attempts to gain this for an episode or two via a convoluted set of wires and a portable electricity generator. It doesn't end well.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His robe is dark purple, and he's the most powerful villain in Grundo.
* RibbonCuttingCeremony: The champagne bottle variant. When the M.A.V.O. airship is ready to launch, he smashes a bottle on it and christens it the ''Eclipse''.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: He can communicate with his pets.
* SpitTake: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", when he sees that Tweeg is still alive, he spits out his drink. It hits the Understander.
* SuperStrength: He's always been strong enough to lift and toss his underlings around, but when M.A.V.O.'s evil spell spreads through Grundo, he becomes so strong that he can rip a large stalactite out of a cave ceiling.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Most of his minions are either just plain stupid or annoying. He feels frustrated. He wonders what he did to deserve them.
* TapOnTheHead: In "Teddy's Quest", when he takes on all three of his henchmen, he gets knocked on the head by Trudge's club, making him pass out and wake up in a cell unharmed.
* TooDesperateToBePicky: While Tweeg and L.B. are M.A.V.O. prisoners, he's forced to give them another chance in "Anything in the Soup" because they're the only ones who are familiar with Teddy.
* VerbThis: When he catches L.B. trying to make off with the Black Box, L.B. feebly says he was taking out to be dry-cleaned. "I'll dry-clean you!"
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: For a basically charming series (for the most part), Quellor does give an ominous vibe.
* VillainNoLongerIdle: After he encounters Teddy face to face for the first time, he becomes a lot more proactive in M.A.V.O.'s activity. This is a turning point in the series when things start to get darker and more dangerous.
* VillainRespect: He praises Gimmick's inventiveness when his stolen plans allow M.A.V.O. to build their own airship.
* VillainSong: In his part of "All Locked Up", he sings about how he'd love to do evil as much as Teddy would do good.
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: When L.B. finds himself stuck working as his maid, Quellor says that L.B. should consider the privilege of working for him to be reward enough.
* WolverineClaws: He dons some fake long claws when he attempts to go PsychoElectro, with shocks generated from their tips.
* XRaySparks: His when his electrical power system shorts out and he gets electrocuted, he looks like a skeleton in a silhouette. This is actually the closest thing we get to seeing what he looks like under his clothes.
* YellowPurpleContrast: He wears a yellow hood, cape, and belt over a purple cloak.

[[folder:Eleanor Tweeg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Abby Hagyard
->'''First appearance:''' "Grubby's Romance"
Tweeg's overbearing mother, a troll who sees him as a disappointment. Tweeg is always trying to make her proud by becoming a member of M.A.V.O.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: She has one in the form of the Mudblup King. He's in love with her but she can't stand being close to a walking, talking pile of mud.
* AbusiveParents: Of the emotional variety to both her son and her ex-husband. Apparently, the first time she laid eyes on him was two or three weeks after he was born, and since then, all she's done for him is berate him.
* AltoVillainess: She has a deep, rough voice for a female character, though she rarely sings.
* ArrangedMarriage: On the receiving end, courtesy of her son selling her to the Mudblup King.
* AwfulWeddedLife: There was no love between her and Elroy. Their relationship consisted of her always putting him down and hating him for being such a NiceGuy. They only got married because she was a GoldDigger and he was a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter.
* BillBillJunkBill: In "The Ying Zoo", she sorts through her mail, saying "Blackmail demands, extortion notices, death threats...always the same junk mail!"
* BlatantLies: When she produces the Crystal that she kept for herself, she tells Tweeg, "It must have got jammed behind the cheap upholstery in that wagon of yours."
* CaneFu: She walks with a wooden cane that she sometimes uses as a weapon.
* ComplimentBackfire: After Mrs. Maggotheart calls her "too kind" after she congratulates her on becoming the new ''Eclipse'' commander, Eleanor says she'll have to watch that.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: During Wizardweek, when it's her turn in the relay obstacle course, she tries to cheat by running on the ground instead of using the ropes. It doesn't work because you need the ropes to get over the water.
* DisappointedInYou: She sends a letter expressing her disappointment in him.
* DomesticAbuse: She verbally abused both her husband and her son all the time.
* EvilOldFolks: She looks like an old, gray woman and is evil through and through.
* EvilSmellsBad: Her perfume of choice is "Essence of Garlic".
* FateWorseThanDeath: When the Mudblup King wants to make her his queen, she says she'd rather rot than be married to him.
* TheGhost: In the original book and tape series, she's mentioned but never appears. She becomes a full-blown character in the animated series.
* GoldDigger: When she hears that Tweeg can make gold, she suddenly shows uncharacteristic concern for his well-being, and it's implied that she only married Elroy for his surfing winnings.
* {{Greed}}: She's both tight with money and willing to steal what she thinks are valuable crystals from her son.
* GreenAndMean: She's a mean, green troll. Trolls in the Teddy Ruxpin universe come in many colors, but she's an especially mean one.
* HairTriggerTemper: She goes into a rage over all kinds of things, but especially anything to do with Tweeg or the Mudblup king.
* HarmlessElectrocution: In "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", Tweeg's joy buzzer is so powerful that it overloads her with electricity and leaves her hair standing on end, but she's okay afterwards.
* HateSink: Eleanor is notably both the only AbusiveParent and domestic abuser in the series, despite every bit of it being played for laughs. It's downright cathartic when Tweeg turns the tables on her for his own profit.
* InterspeciesRomance: Well, interspecies marriage, at least. It wasn't romantic. Eleanor's a troll and Elroy's a Grunge.
* {{Jerkass}}: She hates almost anyone apart from Ickly, Sparky, and Quellor. She never feels a hint of remorse for being an abusive mother to Tweeg.
* KickTheDog: She's proud of how much she mistreats her son and takes any chance to do it.
* LethalChef: Her goulash is so terrible that the Hermit of Leekee Lake manages to use it as acid to eat through his chains.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Once refers to Wizardweek as Lizardweek.
* MonsterFanGirl / AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Is romantically attached to Quellor. The latter trope is why her marriage to Tweeg's father, a NiceGuy, didn't work out.
* MyBelovedSmother: Most of the time she is emotionally distant and detached from her son, but that doesn't stop her from swinging into this trope full tilt in his presence.
* NotAMask: When the Trio meet her for the first time, they're convinced that she's really Tweeg using one of his disguises and think that it's just on very tightly when they try to pull it off. She's offended that they think she is her son.
* PetTheDog: On the rare occasions when she's seen Tweeg do something right for a change, she'll willingly acknowledge it and even call him "son". When the Understander takes over and fires Bognostroclum, Eleanor personally nominates Tweeg for his job.
* PrimAndProperBun: In her younger days, her hairstyle was a ponytail, but after she got old and her hair turned gray, she started wearing an old lady's bun.
* RankUp: For most of the series, she's a regular member of M.A.V.O. She briefly becomes the new Understander of Legends when the Understander becomes the new Supreme Oppressor, although when the latter goes back to her old position, Eleanor goes back to being a regular member.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: Like her son, she is green and wears purple.
* SinisterSchnoz: Her long, pointed, warty nose looks like a stereotypical wicked witch's nose.
* SleepMask: Wears one in bed as seen in "Octopede Sailors".
* SolitarySorceress: She lives in an old house, with only her pet for company, way out in the middle of nowhere near the Wall of Ying.
* SoProudOfYou: Occasionally, she shows genuine approval when he accomplishes something for a change. She says this word for word in "The Crystal Book" when he manages something on his checklist of bad deeds and in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball" when he pulls a malicious prank on her.
* StartMyOwn: Halfway through Wizardweek, she gets fed up with Tweeg's team losing, so she and Sparky form their own team.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Any time she and Tweeg work together.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Seeing Tweeg stuck in a quicksand pit during the race, she says it makes her feel like singing. Yes, that's how much she hates her son.
* VillainousFriendship: She and Bognostroclum are old friends. He's one of the only people that she's genuinely nice to, and she's able to talk him into bending the rules just this once when she has the Crystals for Quellor.
* VillainousMotherSonDuo: With her son Tweeg, whenever they manage to get on the same page. She will not miss a chance to berate and belittle him, but Eleanor is quite supportive of her son's villainous career and will express pride when he manages to pull off a dastardly plan (one example being when he sold her to the Mudblup King for his own freedom and a truck of jewels).
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: She's bitter over the fact that her son doesn't show his appreciation for her just acknowledging him and feeding him maybe once or twice when he was young.
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: She's always reminding her son how she hates the way he's no good as a villain.
* WickedWitch: Lives in a spooky house with a bat-like pet, and looks like an ugly, green hag with warts and a long nose. Though she doesn't know a lick of real magic, she fulfills every other part of the trope.

[[folder:Ickly Bognostroclum]]
!!Ickly Bognostroclum
->'''Voiced by:''' Pier Paquette
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg's Mom"
The gatekeeper of M.A.V.O. and Quellor's right-hand monster. He's obsessed with rules and regulations and won't do anything if the paperwork isn't filled out. He has a habit of quoting the M.A.V.O. handbook and citing exactly where in the book a rule is printed.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: Briefly calls Teddy a "lollipop" instead of an Illiop in his first appearance. He was trying to repeat what Eleanor whispered to him, so maybe she was being too quiet for him to hear properly.
* BaitAndSwitchComment: In "The Black Box", he says, "Ah, Tweeg. How wonderful to see your face again. Reminds of the last time I was sick!"
* BlatantLies: Like L.B. and the Tweegs, he decides to hold onto one of the Crystals, leaving just one to present to Quellor. When Tweeg is sent to gather the rest, he nervously tells him he "misplaced it earlier".
* BotheringByTheBook: He knows all the M.A.V.O. rules by heart, and he does his best to enforce them on everybody. Quellor has come close to throttling him twice for such actions.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: His rule-blabbering may get on people's nerves, but it's also what makes him one of the few M.A.V.O. members who is actually good at his job.
* TheDragon: To Quellor. He's his right-hand monster and often the only one he can count on to do his job right.
* GateGuardian: His job is the keeper of the gate at M.A.V.O. Headquarters.
* HornedHumanoid: Has a pair of horns.
* InaneBlabbering: Twice in the series, he falls into this state thanks to Tweeg: once when Tweeg showed up with the Black Box, and once where he proved NotQuiteDead.
* LastNameBasis: Most people call him Bognostroclum. Eleanor calls him Ickly because they're old friends. Eventually, so does Tweeg because he can't pronounce "Bognostroclum".
* ObsessivelyOrganized: He's obsessed with doing everything exactly the way the rule book says.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: He insists that everything be done by the book and by filling out any attached paperwork. He always seems to have the right forms on hand for anyone to do anything at M.A.V.O.
* PhotographicMemory: He's memorized the M.A.V.O. handbook so well that he can recite the exact section, page, paragraph, or line of each rule.
* PunchClockVillain: Subverted. He seems like he's being evil because it's literally his job, but he once stole one of the Crystals for himself because a real villain never passes a chance to steal.
* TheReliableOne: Because he sticks to the rules but will bend them when his boss orders him to, he's Quellor's most dependable minion.
* RulesLawyer: He's got every single M.A.V.O. rule memorized and uses them like weapons. As keeper of the gate, he's got a rule for every occasion when it comes to keeping out the riffraff.
* ScrewTheRulesItsTheApocalypse: As obsessed as he is with the rulebook, he'll cast it aside when his life is in danger. When he refuses to allow a disguised Wooly to join in M.A.V.O. in "Escape from M.A.V.O." because it's not the time and place for recruiting new members, Wooly's threats are enough to make him forget the rules and give Wooly application forms.
* StaffOfAuthority: He always carries a long ornate staff, but it's more of a symbolic item than a weapon.
* TheUnpronounceable: But only to Tweeg, who struggles to say "Bognostroclum".
* VillainousFriendship: He and Eleanor are old friends. He's one of the only people that she's genuinely nice to, and she's able to talk him into bending the rules just this once when she has the Crystals for Quellor.

[[folder:The Understander of Legends]]
!!The Understander of Legends
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JohnStocker
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg's Mom"
An old, vaguely trollish woman and the wisest member of M.A.V.O. Her job is being the keeper of M.A.V.O.'s ancient knowledge. She's a cautious, pragmatic villain who has a secret dream of becoming the Supreme Oppressor herself.
----
* AffablyEvil: She's usually very soft-spoken for a M.A.V.O. member, although she has her limits.
* BastardUnderstudy: She acts devoted to her superiors and the cause for a long time. She really wants to be the Supreme Oppressor, but she's willing to take her time and work behind the scenes. Late in the series, she gets tired of M.A.V.O. failing to find Teddy Ruxpin, so when everything is in place, the gloves come off and she takes over.
* BigShutUp: Delivers one of these in "Fugitives" when she gets fed up with listening her fellow M.A.V.O. women, yelling "SILENCE!"
* CunningLinguist: The legends of M.A.V.O. are carved in the stone walls of the meeting hall. Most people can't read them, so the Understander's job is to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin understand them]].
* {{Determinator}}: After she takes over M.A.V.O., she devotes all resources toward finding Teddy and refuses to give up.
* DragonAscendant: Briefly declares herself the new Supreme Oppressor, even though she doesn't have the Black Box. Ironically, she loses her position to ''another'' Dragon Ascendant, L.B., when he ''does'' have the Black Box.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: She's one of Quellor's most high-ranking servants, but she has her own motivations beyond her job. She wants Quellor's position, but we don't learn this until late in the series.
* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: She's only ever called by her title. This confuses Tweeg a bit in "Thin Ice" when the M.A.V.O. positions get reshuffled and she's no longer the Understander.
* EvilCripple: She's got a hunched back and can't walk very well. Still plenty evil.
* EvilGenius: Her job is knowing the legends and secrets of the Monsters and Villains Organization.
* EvilOldFolks: She might be the oldest member of M.A.V.O.
* EvilSoundsDeep: For a woman, she has a low, almost masculine-sounding voice, due to her voice actor being male.
* FingerExtinguisher: She blows out a candle in "Teddy's Quest" by pinching the flame in her fingers.
* GracefullyDemoted: When L.B. gets ahold of the Black Box and is declared the new Supreme Oppressor, she doesn't argue, since she's afraid of the Black Box just like everyone else. She goes back to being the Understander.
* IWantThemAlive: After Quellor dispatches his minions get Teddy dead or alive, she argues that they need him alive to get the Crystals. Quellor doesn't listen, so she conspires behind his back. After she takes over and puts out a wanted poster for Teddy, it says, "Wanted Alive".
* IWarnedYou: She suggested to Quellor that the Crystals that Tweeg brought them might be fake and is happy to remind him that they turned out to be just salt.
* ManipulativeBastard: She pulls the strings on Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge to manipulate them into helping her usurp Quellor's spot.
* MsExposition: This is literally part of her job: to explain M.A.V.O.'s goals and legends and what's so important about them.
* NoNameGiven: She's only called the Understander. When she moves up and Eleanor takes her spot, Tweeg finds it a bit confusing in "Thin Ice" when Mrs. Maggotheart tells him what's what.
* OnlySaneWoman: Surrounded by idiots, jerkasses, and power-mad tyrants, she's easily the most stable and sensible person at M.A.V.O.
* PragmaticVillainy: She wants to spread evil across Grundo as much as anyone, but she is patient, cautious, and calculating. While Quellor wants Teddy out of the way one way or another, the Understander wants to keep him alive because he can lead them to the Crystals.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The Understander is fairer to those beneath her than Quellor. She gives Tweeg a chance when he claims he can lead her to Teddy, promises to let Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge off punishment for helping her, and even accepts Eleanor's nomination of Tweeg as the new gatekeeper.
* StaffOfAuthority: Always carries a staff with an orb on top to show her authority.
* TranquilFury: At first. When she discovers the fake Crystals are pieces of salt, she tells Quellor coldly as she crushes one in her hand. Later, when she betrays Quellor and takes over M.A.V.O., her temper shows more.
* WomenAreWiser: Easily the wisest member of Quellor's underlings, while the male henchmen are usually more incompetent.

[[folder:Mrs. Maggotheart]]
!!Mrs. Maggotheart
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RickJones
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg Gets the Tweezles"
The M.A.V.O. dues collector who makes sure members are completing their lists of bad deeds. Most members of M.A.V.O. fear her because of all the bills she forces them to pay.
----
* AccidentalKidnapping: In "Fugitives", she's sent to kidnap Teddy and accidentally brings back the Hermit instead, not knowing there was more than one Illiop in Grundo.
* AccidentalMisnaming: When she first appears, she accidentally calls Tweeg "Tweek". Unlike the Bounders, she just misread his name on a paper.
* AshFace: She ends up covered in char marks after Tweeg's cannon hits her wagon.
* TheCaptain: After the Understander becomes the new Supreme Oppressor, she is appointed the new commander of the M.A.V.O. pirates.
* CoolSword: When she becomes commander of the M.A.V.O. pirates, she gets a sword.
* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: The highest-pitched M.A.V.O. member. You can tell she's a villain trying to hide her nastiness when she talks pleasantly.
* DelayedReaction: In "Escape from M.A.V.O.", when she discovers the Airship parked at M.A.V.O., she's distracted by the parking violation committed, so it takes her a minute to realize what she's looking at.
* TheDreaded: She is this to most of M.A.V.O. because of all the bills she gives them. In fact, being locked in a room with her is a punishment reserved for the biggest rule breakers.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She has a husband named Spittle.
* EvilDebtCollector: Mrs. Maggotheart combines this with IntimidatingRevenueService in her role as M.A.V.O.'s dues collector. Once Tweeg becomes an apprentice member, she dogs him every day demanding he pay the rather sizable debt he's accrued.
* EvilIsPetty: She throws out bills for whatever minor excuse she can think of. Let her hang a wanted poster on your front door? You pay to rent it. Don't know where the person in the poster is? You're fined for not knowing.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She often speaks very pleasantly and politely but goes into an absolute fury when she's upset.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Being a debt collector, no one in M.A.V.O. likes to deal with her. They put up with her because they need her to do her job.
* GreenAndMean: She's got sickly green skin and is particularly nasty.
* HateSink: Is probably the most despicable character in the series. She makes Tweeg looks like a boy scout.
* HoldYourHippogriffs: In one episode, she says "Thank badness" because to M.A.V.O., BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad.
* IntimidatingRevenueService: She furiously hounds Tweeg until he pays. If he doesn't, M.A.V.O. will come for him. Given she also has Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge assisting her, the intimidating part comes with the territory.
* KickTheDog: She'll happily bully a sick person to give herself more points as a M.A.V.O. member.
* MiddleManagementMook: Not quite one of the top dogs at M.A.V.O., not very action-oriented, but has an important job. She manages day-to-day affairs like finances and liaison that keep M.A.V.O. running. Ironically, people hate dealing with her even more than Quellor.
* MoodSwinger: She tends to flip between a sickeningly sweet voice and a shrieking temper multiple times in the same conversation.
* NoFullNameGiven: Her first name is unknown.
* PsychoPink: Wears a pink cloak to contrast against her froggy green skin.
* RankUp: Promoted to commander of the M.A.V.O pirates in "Thin Ice".
* StepfordSmiler: Wavers between this and SuddenlyShouting. Gimmick only witnesses the former and mistakenly believes she is a pleasant person.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Not even Quellor or the Gutangs are ruthless capitalists collecting debt ForTheEvulz. [[/folder]]
[[folder:Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge]]
!!Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge
->'''Voiced by:''' Pier Paquette (Sludge), Les Lye (Drudge), Creator/RickJones (Trudge)
->'''First appearance:''' "The Mushroom Forest"
A trio of M.A.V.O. enforcers Quellor tasks first with finding Teddy Ruxpin, then with capturing Tweeg. They're actually formidable in a fight, but their tracking skills leave much to be desired.
----
* AintTooProudToBeg: When Quellor finds out that they lied to him about killing Tweeg, they're all willing to beg for him to spare their lives.
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Their names rhyme: Sl'''udge''', Dr'''udge''', and Tr'''udge'''. It extends to Drudge's family (see below).
* BackhandedApology: After Quellor orders Sludge to apologize for calling Trudge fat, Sludge just says, "I'm sorry you're so fat". Trudge is dumb enough to accept this.
* BlameGame: In "Autumn Adventure", when Quellor learns that they lied about killing Tweeg, they try to blame each other for coming up with the idea.
* TheBrute: They're all super-strong villains but not too bright.
* CarryABigStick: Trudge is usually seen carrying around a huge club as his weapon.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Sludge is blue, Drudge is green, and Trudge is tan.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: They do this a lot. When Quellor gives them orders and asks them if they have any questions, they ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with the topic.
* CranialEruption: In "Thin Ice", when Sludge insults Eleanor, she angrily throws her hairbrush at him and gives him a bump on the head.
* DeadpanSnarker: Drudge. He gets some of the wittiest lines of any M.A.V.O. member. When visiting Tweeg's house, he says, "For a guy who knows how to make gold, he sure lives cheap."
* DeathFakedForYou: When they fail to capture Tweeg in "A Race to the Finish", they stick some slime mold in a bottle and present it to Quellor, claiming that it's a pulverized Tweeg.
* DecoyDamsel: When M.A.V.O. accidentally kidnaps the Hermit of Leekee Lake instead of Teddy, they have Sludge dress up as the Hermit in a dungeon cell and grab Teddy when he tries to rescue the Hermit.
* TheDitz: Trudge. The other two are dumb but not quite as clueless as him.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Though they appear as early as "The Mushroom Forest", they started as generic henchmen and didn't even have names for a few episodes. As they started to appear more, they gained distinct personalities: Sludge the fiercest and the leader, Drudge the slightly more sensible DeadpanSnarker, and Trudge the strongest and dumbest.
* TheDogBitesBack: How the Understander gets them to go along with her coup, she points out Quellor's BadBoss tendencies and offers them better positions under her rule.
* DumbassHasAPoint: Sometimes, they make good points. In "Leekee Lake", Sludge suggests recruiting Drudge's cousin for deep water salvage. Quellor likes the idea. In "Winter Adventure", when Tweeg is caught and tied up, Trudge points out that they'll never get any answers from Tweeg if they gag him. In "Teddy's Quest", Drudge sees a flaw in the Understander's scheme: they can't take over if Quellor has the Black Box.
* DumbMuscle: All three qualify as far as M.A.V.O. is concerned, but Trudge serves as this for the group itself, being both the strongest and the dumbest of the trio. He's actually powerful enough that he accidentally knocks out Quellor himself when he turns around.
* EliteMooks: As Quellor's personal henchmen, they rank a cut above most mooks in M.A.V.O.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Drudge has a family in Ying that he seems to be fond of.
* ExtremeOmnivore: When Drudge was a kid, he ate his cousin's coloring book.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Drudge has a cousin named Dredge, the son of his Auntie Smudge and Uncle Grudge.
* FieryRedhead: Sludge has deep, crimson hair and the worst temper of the three.
* ForgotToMindTheirHead: It happens to Sludge while they're tearing apart Tweeg's tower for the gold formula and his head is in a cupboard.
* GeniusDitz: Drudge knows how to manipulate a reluctant relative into helping him, has been to school (someplace called Troll Tech), and is one of the only characters in the whole series to see through a PaperThinDisguise when he recognizes Teddy in his Mudblup costume.
* GoldfishPoopGang: Not really quirky enough for [[QuirkyMinibossSquad the other trope]], but they tend to show up a lot to cause trouble for the good guys.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Sludge and Drudge usually fight barehanded, although they did once briefly grab a sword and a mace respectively to use.
* GreenAndMean: Drudge is a dull shade of green.
* IAmBigBoned: When Sludge complains about Trudge being fat, Trudge insists that he is "husky".
* InsufferableImbecile: Sludge. All three are DumbMuscle EvilMinions who love causing pain and destruction, but Sludge is the nastiest, even being a jerk to Trudge.
* InterrogationByVandalism: In "Winter Adventure", the three of them come to Tweeg's tower demanding his formula for turning buttermilk into gold. When he doesn't hand it over, they tie him up and throw everything around the room. Tweeg can hardly stand to watch.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Drudge once calls Teddy "Teddy Dustbin", a name Tweeg once used.
* ManipulativeBastard: Believe it or not, Drudge. He gets his cousin Dredge to go along with M.A.V.O.'s plan by threatening him, first by bringing up Dredge's mom and then the Supreme Oppressor's Black Box.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Less due to any lack of desire to be evil and more down to their sheer stupidity.
* TheNapoleon: Sludge is the smallest but also the bossiest and most short-tempered of the three.
* NoodleIncident: Drudge once mentioned in passing that he was kicked out of Troll Tech.
* OhCrap: In "Autumn Adventure", they realize they're in big trouble when Quellor sees Tweeg still alive. Later in the same episode, they think they've caught the Trio in their Mudblup costumes, only to realize too late that they're real Mudblups.
* OnlySaneByComparison: Drudge is by a small margin the smartest and most sensible of the three, but compared to the rest of M.A.V.O., he's still an idiot.
* OrderedApology: Quellor orders Sludge to apologize for calling Trudge fat.
* OutfitDecoy: When Teddy goes to rescue the Hermit from the M.A.V.O. dungeon, he sees someone in a cell in the Hermit's rope, hood up, facing the back of the cell. It turns out to be Sludge in disguise.
* PlankGag: In one episode, while trying to make Tweeg's gold recipe, Quellor tells them to stand aside. Trudge turns around and knocks Quellor into the mixture with his club.
* PsychopathicManchild: All three are dangerous brutes and will pummel their enemies mad, but they have the mentality of children. When Quellor announces that they're going to the Ying Zoo, Drudge responds like an eager child.
* RealMenWearPink: Sludge wears pink armor.
* RememberTheNewGuy: They're not really introduced. They appear suddenly in "The Mushroom Forest" without even explaining who they are.
* RingRingCRUNCH: In "Winter Adventure", when the alarm clock in Tweeg's tower wakes them up, Sludge smashes it with his fist.
* SavageSpikedWeapons: In "Teddy's Quest", Drudge snatches a mace off a suit of armor to fight Quellor. It fit him being one of {{The Brute}}s.
* SelfDeprecation: When Drudge calls his cousin too stupid to be dishonest, he says it's a family trait.
* SimpletonVoice: They all sound this way at times, but mostly Trudge.
* SinisterSchnoz: Trudge has about the hugest nose in the show.
* TerribleTrio: They're three nasty but ineffective villains who are hardly ever seen one without the others. Sludge is the aggressive leader, Drudge is OnlySaneByComparison, and Trudge is the DumbMuscle of the three.
* VillainsOutShopping: When Quellor announces that they're going to the Ying Zoo to get Tweeg, Drudge is excited about going to the zoo. They also briefly join the good guys in a costume parade.
* VitriolicBestBuds: They don't always get along, but they stick together anyway.
* YourCostumeNeedsWork: In "Autumn Adventure", when they join Teddy and the Grunges at a costume party, Teddy mistakes them for Grunges in costumes.
* YourFavorite: Drudge brings Dredge some candy ("Slime treats! Your favorite!") to get on his good side before asking for a favor. Drudge enjoys the candy but still refuses to help until Drudge blackmails him.

!!Blatsmear Rogle
->'''Voiced by:''' Robert Bockstael
->'''First appearance:''' "The New M.A.V.O. Member"
A member of the M.A.V.O. Board of Directors. Usually a background character, though he has a notable role in a few episodes.
----
* AscendedExtra: When he first appears, he's treated as just one of the background monsters to the point where you can mistake which one is him if you're not paying attention. Later, he gets a supporting role in a few episodes.
* BrutalHonesty: He's the one who tells Quellor that he's hardly the Supreme Oppressor anymore without the Black Box, the source of his power. "More of a Lessor Oppressor."
* CranialEruption: In "Leekee Lake", after a Grunge bops him on the head, he's left with a bump.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Sludge suggests that they recruit Drudge's cousin Dredge, Rogle is nervous about it.
* GotVolunteered: When Quellor leads an expedition to recover the Black Box, he forces Rogle to be the one to dive for the wreck of the ''Eclipse''. It's all for nothing because it's too deep to swim to it.
* HornedHumanoid: He's got two horns and a vaguely humanoid shape.
* JackOfAllTrades: Being often a background character, he tends to fill whatever role the show requires for him at the time.
* LastNameBasis: We only know his first name because Bognostroclum called him that in his first appearance.
* MookLieutenant: During the hunt for Teddy Ruxpin in the winter, he leads the monsters.
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: His introduction episode says he's the originator of the slime pie, but when he gets his first significant role in an episode, he is officially identified as a Board of Directors member. Still later, he is shown leading a party tracking Teddy.
* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: He's a member of the M.A.V.O. Board of Directors, but it's never revealed what they actually do, and since the rest of the board members aren't identified, the board remains a mystery.
* RecurringExtra: One of several monsters who usually appears a lot to make M.A.V.O. seem larger than the major members.
* SuddenlyVoiced: He speaks for the first time in "Leekee Lake", twenty-six episodes after his debut.

----
* AnimalEspionage: In "The Hard to Find City", one of them feeds information on Tweeg's actions to Quellor.
* BatOutOfHell: They have bat wings, and some have other chiropteran features.
* EarWings: Some have wings sticking out of the side of their heads.
* {{Flight}}: They come in so many different designs, so not all of them have the same kinds of wings, but all of them can fly.
* InstantMessengerPigeon: A whole swarm of them. Their job is to fly invitations to M.A.V.O. meetings all over Grundo.
* MixAndMatchCritters: They're like rats, lizards, or mixes of the two, and they all have bat wings.
* MoralityPet: To Quellor. He seems to genuinely love his pets.
* NoNameGiven: Their species is never named. Quellor calls one of them a "stoolpigeon", but that could just be its job rather than its species.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Although they vary in appearance, they're all brown except for Quellor's favorite named Dweezil, who is light gray.
* ParrotPetPosition: Dweezil the gray one is known to perch on Quellor's shoulder.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: They serve a villain, and many of them look like lizards.

* BoardingParty: The M.A.V.O. pirates once used the ''Eclipse'' to board the Airship and kidnap the Trio.
* BowledOver: Gimmick uses a barrel to knock down the M.A.V.O. monsters in "Captured", accompanied by a bowling strike sound effect.

!!The Land of Ying
[[folder:In General]]
The country directly north of Grundo. A creepy land land of sharp rocks, swamps, and strange plants, the inhabitants are mostly vicious monsters and criminals. It's best known for the Ying Zoo, a tourist attraction in the capital city of Quagmire.
----
* CanonForeigner: The characters never visited Ying in the books, so all characters from Ying were created for the cartoon.
* EldritchLocation: The dirt sprays you or yells at you if you dig in the wrong place, the thorny trees can regenerate themselves immediately, the monsters don't adhere to basic biology, people apparently own scum farms, and all in all, it's a very unpleasant place to be.
* TheGreatWall: The Great Wall of Ying is a high stone wall running the length of the border that separates Ying from Grundo. Once you cross it, it seems like you've entered another world.
* GrimUpNorth: It's north of Grundo and the most wretched place in the series. It's not a frozen wasteland, but the land north of Ying certainly is.
* MenagerieOfMisery: The Ying Zoo keeps its exhibits (many of whom are actually sapient) in positively tiny cages more akin to prison cells than anything else. At least one animal is kept in a perpetual state of hunger so it can continually eat itself for the guests' amusement, while a nocturnal bat-like creature finds itself constantly illuminated. The Sorcerer boasts to have "captured one of everything from Grundo and the Land of Ying" as he extols patrons to come. And he's not above turning his more exotic guests into new exhibits if he can, even charging them room and board, as Teddy and Grubby found out when they attempted to infiltrate the place.
* {{Mordor}}: Ying is mostly covered in filthy swamps and ominous-looking rock formations, and the people there are some of the nastiest folks you could meet.
* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Even compared to the regular monsters of the show, some of the native creatures are weird (such as the zoo's Gorge Monster, which eats itself every few minutes).
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The locals feel right at home in a WretchedHive in the middle of an EldritchLocation, but they're absolutely terrified of Illiops.
* WretchedHive: The capital city of Quagmire is well-named. Gangs of punks run the streets, and a CorruptCorporateExecutive can get away with whatever he pleases.

[[folder:The Sorcerer]]
!!The Sorcerer
->'''Voiced by:''' Robert Bockstael
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg the Vegetable"
The Wizard of Grundo's younger brother and the proprietor of the Ying Zoo, a tourist attraction that displays monsters and exotic creatures. Both are driven by greed, but the Sorcerer is more ruthless and villainous.
----
* TheAnnouncer: He announces the attractions at the Ying Zoo with a loudspeaker.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: He's younger than the Wizard, and the two hate each other and call each other insulting nicknames.
* ArcVillain: The main antagonist for the Ying Zoo five-episode arc who never appears again.
* BadBoss: He's not very nice to anyone, not even his employees. At one point, he tells his lackey Spango, "Remind me to have something horrible done to you later."
* TheBarnum: Like the Wizard, he's a showman who runs a tourist attraction and only cares about milking people of as much dough as he can get from them.
* BigBadEnsemble: He leads his own group of villains separate from Tweeg, Quellor, the Mudblup King, and the Gutangs.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: He captures and collects exotic creatures to fill his zoo, and the rarer and odder his attractions, the more money he makes.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: M.A.V.O. is an organization of {{Card Carrying Villain}}s who want to spread evil and darkness across Grundo. The Sorcerer is a CorruptCorporateExecutive who only cares about profit, never calls himself a villain, and has no concerns beyond his corner of Ying.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Like his brother, he'll lie and deceive to con people out of their money, but he does it by running the Zoo as a major business, whereas the Wizard just sells honest information.
* EmbarrassingNickname: He hates when his brother calls him "Bucky". He responds by calling his brother "Stinky".
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's only ever called the Sorcerer.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Wizard. While both are greedy con men, the Wizard is a fair man who tries to please people and is willing to help them if he gets paid. The Sorcerer, on the other hand, locks people in cages and exploits them for money.
* EvilSorcerer: He's a fake sorcerer, but he's definitely a villain. There's probably a reason why he's called the Sorcerer and his good brother is called the Wizard.
* FakeWizardry: In a world where few people understand advanced technology, he passes the off zoo's electric lighting system as magic.
* TheJailer: He may see himself as a zookeeper, but he treats the beings who inhabit it like prisoners. And they didn't even do anything wrong. They're just a good way to bring in cash.
* MrExposition: He tells Teddy and Grubby the story about an Illiop who used to live in the zoo but escaped years ago. This turns out to be more important than it seems when you learn who that Illiop is.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Quellor gives him one when he refuses to hand over Tweeg: if he doesn't, he'll become an attraction in his own zoo via the Black Box.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The well-being of his exhibits doesn't matter to him. The only thing he cares about is how much money they make him.
* PointyEars: Like his brother, his ears are pointy.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: He's called the Sorcerer, but he's never seen doing any sorcery. Granted, he and his brother can't do real magic, but the Wizard at least tries to pass himself off as a wizard. Apart from the faux-magical lighting system mentioned above, the Sorcerer doesn't do anything even resembling magic. He's just a businessman who happens to dress like a sorcerer.
* QuarrelingSong: In "Wizardland", he and his brother sing a song that is basically a debate about who's got the better tourist attraction.
* ReversePsychology: He pulls this on Gimmick. When Wizardland steals his customers, he tries to get Gimmick to build a theme park ride in the zoo. Gimmick initially refuses because it does him no good if he's still a prisoner, but the Sorcerer plays on Gimmick's pride and pretends to doubt whether he can do it. Gimmick, being an InsufferableGenius, decides to prove he can.
* SiblingRivalry: He and the Wizard take this to the next level. The Wizard opens a theme park called Wizardland across the way from the Ying Zoo, and the two constantly compete for customers.
* SloganYellingMegaphoneGuy: He uses a megaphone to announce how great his zoo is and bring back the customers that his big brother is stealing at his new theme park.
* SurroundedByIdiots: He feels this way about his employees.
* TrashTalk: He and the Wizard enjoy doing this to each other. And they use megaphones to do it.

* AnimalEspionage: He flies around Ying looking for new specimens for the zoo and reports back to the Sorcerer.
* CivilizedAnimal: He talks, wears clothes, and can operate machinery, but he is still technically a pet who flies and perches on branches.

* FeatherFingers: He uses his wing feathers as fingers well enough to drive the Moormobile, the Sorcerer's armored transport.
* {{Flight}}: Being a crow, he can fly.
* NoNameGiven: His name is not mentioned.
* NonHumanSidekick: A non-Perloon lackey to the Perloon Sorcerer.
* SapientPet: The Sorcerer calls him his pet, but he can think and talk.

* UndyingLoyalty: The Sorcerer puts up with them because they are, according to him, "extremely loyal".

[[folder:Dredge]]
!!Dredge
->'''Voiced by:''' Les Lye
->'''First appearance:''' "The Third Crystal"
Drudge's tentacled cousin from a swamp in Ying. M.A.V.O. recruited him to retrieve the Black Box from Leekee Lake.
----
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Drudge and Dredge's names are almost identical.
* CombatTentacles: In "Up for Air", he attacks Teddy in Leekee Lake with his tentacles. He rips Teddy's diving helmet off and might have made Teddy drown if Teddy hadn't discovered the Fourth Crystal's power.
* DidNotSeeThatComing: As he tries to chase and eat Teddy in his diving suit, he did not expect a second Illiop to show up and give him an electric shock. "Drudge didn't say nothing about any underwater hazards."
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He loves his mother, Drudge's Auntie Smudge. When he initially refuses to do his cousin a favor, Drudge convinces him by threatening to tell her.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Drudge and Dredge are cousins.

When Dredge grabs the stun gun and goes after them, he accidentally hits the metal surface of the Sub-Water Boat with it, which shocks his whole body. Then, when he tries to stop the Sub-Water Boat, Teddy presses a button that releases an even bigger shock.
* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: He is Drudge's cousin and has a similar face to him, so one of his parents must be a Troll, but from his lower half, his other parent must be some aquatic cephalopod-like creature. How they managed to conceive Dredge is a mystery.
* HybridMonster: Based on his appearance and relationship to Drudge, he must be the offspring of a Troll and some kind of cephalopod-like monster.
* KnottyTentacles: While he's chasing Teddy around the wreck of the ''Eclipse'', he sticks two of his tentacles through the portholes, causing Teddy to tie them in a knot.
* NervesOfSteel: Subverted. While M.A.V.O. is waiting for Dredge to come back up, Quellor suggests that he might have met his match down there. Drudge denies this and states the trope name exactly. Just then, Dredge leaps out of the water in terror.
-->'''Quellor:''' Nerves of steel, eh?\\
'''Drudge:''' Okay then. How about aluminum foil?
* OddNameOut: He's the only known member of his family whose name doesn't rhyme. His parents are Smudge and Grudge, and his cousin is Drudge.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: The reason Dredge is reluctant to help his cousin? When they were kids, Drudge ate his coloring book! Even after all these years, Dredge hasn't forgiven him.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: After getting shocked one time too many, he swims away as fast as he can, jumps out of the lake, and resigns.
* SuperPersistentPredator: When he spots Teddy in his diving suit, he decides to stop searching and have lunch.

A group of red armless bipeds. They're sarcastic and mischievous creatures who work for Tweeg. L.B. is their leader. Recurring Bounders include Harry, Hugo, Spike, and Biff.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Some appear in the books with different hair colors. Harry's hair is a much darker shade of purple in the cartoon than in the books, while Hugo's hair is light brown in the books but dark red in the cartoon.
* ArmlessBiped: Bounders have two legs but no arms.
* CallousnessTowardsEmergency: In "Grundo Graduation", Tweeg's tower catches fire, and the Bounders just stand there watching it. In "The Great Grundo Ground Race", they're callous towards Tweeg being stuck in quicksand, claiming that they're too busy singing.
* ComedicSociopathy: Whenever Tweeg becomes a victim of slapstick or his schemes backfire, the Bounders tend to just stand by laughing.
* DumbMuscle: A Bounder is much stronger than he looks, and some of them aren't very bright.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When they first appear,
* TheGadfly: Like L.B., they love seeing Tweeg's reaction when they make a rude remark.
* HandyFeet: Though most Bounders use their mouths as hands, they can use their feet.
* HumanLadder: L.B. treats Biff as one in "King Nogburt's Castle" because he's too short to reach Tweeg's telescope.

* NamedByTheAdaptation: Some Bounders, such as Harry and Hugo, were in the books but unnamed.
* PetTheDog: Though they annoy Tweeg and complain about working conditions, they do willingly go to rescue him from Quellor's henchmen in "Winter Adventure", and when everyone in Grundo is giving out holiday gifts, they give Tweeg the best gift he could ask of them: they get his name right.
* PunchClockVillain: Just like L.B., they help Tweeg commit crimes because it's their job.
* SimpletonVoice: Spike and Biff have voices that make them sound unintelligent.
* ThreeStoogesShoutOut: Biff has Moe's bowl cut, Hugo has red hair around a bald spot like Larry, and Spike is sometimes bald like Curly (he's also been drawn with L.B.'s hair). Harry's thick, parted hair may be based on Shemp.

* WavingSignsAround: In the strike in "Teddy's Quest" mentioned above, the Bounders go on strike at the tower, waving signs and demanding their pay.

[[folder:Buffy]]

----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: She only wears a blue bow around her horn.
* AdaptationDyeJob: She appears in an illustration in one of the books where her hair is longer and blonde. In the cartoon, she has the same tuft of pink hair as L.B.
* ArmlessBiped: Being a Bounder, she has two legs and no arms.
* AscendedExtra: She only has a minor appearance in a single book. In the cartoon, she's a recurring character. Also, when she first appears in the cartoon she starts out as just a regular member of L.B.'s gang, but her role gets bigger as the series goes on and she's cemented as L.B.'s love interest.
* BeachKiss: In "On the Beaches", as she and L.B. stroll along the beach, [[spoiler:L.B. proposes to her and she says yes]], followed by a kiss between them.

* MaliciousMisnaming: Just like the rest of the Bounders, she'll call Tweeg any old thing that starts with "T-W".

* MyNewGiftIsLame: Just about everyone brings a gift to [[spoiler:her and L.B.'s wedding]], but a lot of it looks like unwanted junk to her.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: She appears in one of the books but isn't described or named. She was named Buffy for the animated series.
* OneOfTheBoys: She spends all her time hanging around male Bounders, isn't shown having any female friends, and takes part in the sporting events of Wizardweek.

* SatelliteLoveInterest: She doesn't have much of a personality other than "L.B.'s girlfriend".

* TuftOfHeadFur: She has the same tuft of pink hair around the base of her horn as L.B.

[[folder:Mudblups]]
!!Mudblups
->'''Voiced by:''' Various
->'''First appearance:''' "Beware of the Mudblups"
A group of strange creatures made of mud. They live in a cave in the Great Desert and rarely venture out because they can't stand bright light.
----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: In "Win One for the Twipper", they wear sunglasses and Grungeball caps.
* AchillesHeel: When the bright light from Louie's camera blinds a Mudblup, Arin tells Teddy and Gimmick that the Mudblups detest bright lights.
* AdaptationExpansion: In the books, they're not developed much more than being a nasty group of creatures who capture anyone who comes along. In the adaptations, they mine diamonds and have a king.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Mudblups are repulsive monsters who live underground (as they are WeakenedByTheLight) and enslave anyone who dares wander into their caves.
* BerserkButton: Do not enter their cave uninvited or steal their coal, or they will throw you in the dungeon.
* BlindedByTheLight: Mudblups live underground, so they can't stand bright lights. Louie's camera's light blinds the prison warden so Teddy, Gimmick, and Arin can escape, and when they come back to rescue Grubby, they carry candles.
* TheBrute: They're all strong but not too smart.
* CarryABigStick: Large clubs are their weapon of choice.
* ChekhovsSkill: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", a Mudblup clubs a rock that ricochets around the cave. Tweeg remembers this and comes up with a plan to use the Mudblups as a Grungeball team.
* CoolShades: There is one way that Mudblups can venture out in sunlight: by wearing sunglasses. The King wears a 1980s visor-style pair.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: When they catch Leota and Seymour, they lock them in a cell, not realizing that the bars are too widely spaced to hold them.
* HiddenDepths: In "Win One for the Twipper", the Mudblups turn out to be pretty good Grungeball players.
* HiddenElfVillage: They live in a cave in the Great Desert where no one else lives, have no mercy for thieves and intruders, and don't interact much with the outside world.
* InnateNightVision: Because they spend all their lives in caves, they can see in the dark.
* KryptoniteProofSuit: Bright sunlight hurts their eyes, but they can be outside on a sunny day if they wear sunglasses.
* LethalChef: Prince Arin says that their food is terrible, although he thinks Grubby's root stew is worse.
* MuckMonster: They are made of mud, hence their name. How these creatures evolved in a dry desert environment is anyone's guess.
* OhCrap: This is their reaction anytime a bright light hits their eyes.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: They have red eyes to make them look even more menacing.
* RockMonster: In some ways, they behave more like this than a MuckMonster. While they're made of mud, they don't leave puddles or splatters of mud on whatever they touch. Mud is technically made of rock, so it counts.
* SuperStrength: They're able to break right through solid rock despite being merely made of mud.
* VerbalTicName: They often make "blup-blup" sounds, hence their name.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: In the animated series, a Mudblup often sounds like a few people speaking at the same time.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Prince Arin explains that because the Mudblups spend all their time in darkness, they can't stand bright lights. The heroes use this to their advantage multiple times in the series.
* WorthlessYellowRocks: They mine both coal and diamonds and think that the former is much more valuable and attractive than the latter.
* YourCostumeNeedsWork: Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge briefly mistake them for the Trio, who were dressed in Mudblup costumes earlier.

* ExpressiveMask: Sometimes, their helmets show expression, like an EyePop that says OhCrap.
* EyePop: As said above, one of them does this when he realizes he's in trouble while flying his plane in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains".
* TheFaceless: The Gutangs' armor always hides their faces, although the Court Jester's eyes are visible through his mask.
* FlowerPotDrop: Teddy and Gimmick push a large planter on top of some Gutangs so they can knock them out and steal their armor.
* GreenAndMean: If their arms, legs, and tails say anything, Gutangs are green villains under their armor.
* HarpoonGun: Their planes have mounted rotating spear guns. Luckily, they're not very good shots.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Their weapons usually either miss or hit the hull of the Airship, never stopping the heroes. The closest they get to a good hit is when one of their arrows hits the airbag, but Teddy plugs the leak.
* InverseLawOfSharpnessAndAccuracy: The Gutangs' spears and arrows might hit the Airship or damage something, but they'll never actually hit or injure a person.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Often, during Gutang raids or battles, a sped-up rearrangement of the Gutang song will play in the background.
* ManiacMonkeys: Gutangs are monkey-like creatures and hostile to pretty much everyone that they can't do a business deal with.
* {{Mooks}}: They all look alike and most of them exist to give the heroes someone to fight or shoot down.
* OhCrap: Even though you can't see their faces, you can still tell when they realize they're screwed when their planes have been jammed by Grubby's root stew.
* OminousOwl: They're not actually owls, but their armor is designed to make them look like giant owls. They look sinister in it, and they're invariably evil.
* PrecursorKillers: In the finale, the truth behind them is finally revealed: [[spoiler:For a long time, the Illiops thrived in the Hard to Find City and had a prosperous relationship with the Illipers. But then the Gutangs attacked both of their peoples. The surviving Illiops were driven out and forced to flee Grundo as the Gutangs took it over their city.]]
* TheRuntAtTheEnd: During their VillainSong, when a troop of Gutangs are marching on patrol, there's one running after them to catch up who ends up tripping and falling down the steps.
* TapOnTheHead: The heroes sometimes knock them out but never kill them.
* VillainSong: They have a song that they sing while marching about how terrible they are:
-->We're cruel, we're nasty, we're ugly, and we're mean.\\
We're as bad a gang of evil Gutangs as you have ever seen.\\
So don't come near our fortress, or you will have to pay\\
A terrible price. It won't be nice. It could ruin your whole day.
* VillainsOutShopping: They love to play card games in their spare time.
* WaterSourceTampering: King Nogburt's castle gets its water from [[spoiler:a series of secret underground aqueducts built long ago]], but the Gutangs have been secretly stealing the water, causing the kingdom's drought.

* {{Ambadassador}}: All Gutangs are trained in warfare. Presumably, this includes the Ambassador who acts as their liaison to M.A.V.O.
* AssInAmbassador: The Gutang Ambassador may be good at his job, but he's a jerk and a villain who seizes the opportunity to milk M.A.V.O. of all the money he can.
* CanonForeigner: Didn't appear in the original book and tape series.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He is only ever referred to as "Ambassador".
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The Ambassador is willing to do business with M.A.V.O. and provide his people's services, but only if they get paid. When Quellor asks whether they're ever evil just for the fun of it, the Ambassador says, "Yes, but that costs extra."

Due to not being able to control the Airship very well, Gimmick accidentally crashed into her tree. Leota was very cross about the whole situation, until Teddy managed to smooth things over with her.

* NiceGirl: She is very kind and supporting to her students and is the TeamMom for the good guys.

[[folder:The Wooly What's-It]]
!!The Wooly What's-It
->'''Voiced by:''' Will Ryan (books and special), Pier Paquette (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "Guests of the Grunges"
A large, furry, purple creature who helps the Trio whenever they need a little physical prowess. Though he looks mean and vicious, Wooly is quite the opposite. He's extremely loyal to those who befriend him, and the quickest way to upset him is to mess with his friends.
----
* AccidentalKidnapping: In "One More Spot", he tries to catch some bugs to study for a school assignment, but he accidentally kidnaps the Trio while they're shrunk to bug-size.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: In the books and live-action special, his body is a solid purple color, whereas in the cartoon, his beard, hands, and belly are a much lighter shade than the rest of him.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Briefly, when he first joins Leota's classes, the other students only laugh at him when he misunderstands a question. They eventually stop doing this as Wooly adjusts to school.
* AngryFistShake: He'll sometimes shake his fists in the air when a villain angers him, such as the Gutangs firing on his friends.
* ApologizesALot: Whenever he accidentally does something wrong, he apologizes, even if there are other things to worry about (see SkewedPriorities below).
* AppropriatedAppellation: Wooly's name comes from what others described him as being after he accidentally stranded himself near the Rainbow Falls; a "wooly whatsit". The Snowzos are an obscure species to the other inhabitants of Grundo anyway, but being dyed by the Rainbow Falls made him unrecognizable.
* ArrowCatch: In "Through Tweeg's Fingers", he catches an arrow fired by the Gutangs and throws it at one of their planes, smashing its propeller apart.
* AudienceSurrogate: He's like a stand-in for children watching the show because he has a lot to learn in school and looks at it with a childlike naivete.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he becomes so tired of being big and clumsy that he asks the Trio to shrink him to Elf-size so he can be like his classmates. Unfortunately, he's also lost his strength and prowess.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Wooly wouldn't hurt a fly, but woe to anyone who hurts one of his friends.
* BigDamnHeroes: He has a knack for this. Since he's so big and heavy, he can't go on the airship and has to ''walk'' wherever Teddy and friends are going while the others fly ahead. This is a good way of HoldingBackThePhlebotinum because Wooly's so strong and tough he can generally wipe the floor with any of the bad guys -- when he shows up at the destination, it's generally when the others have already been through several hardships that they had to solve without him. More then once, he comes to the rescue at the very last minute, when the others are in serious trouble, and all seems lost.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: He's a Snowzo, a species of cat-tailed yeti-like creatures who dwell in the cold regions of Grundo. In fact, he strayed from the group when he was a child and got lost, and ended up being dyed his trademark pink color because he took to drinking from and bathing in the Rainbow Falls.
* TheBigGuy: When he opts to join the Trio on a mission, he adds some much needed brawn to back them up.
* BigHeartedBigfoot: Snowzos are based on the yeti (large, furry bipeds who live in the cold regions of the world), and few people are more big-hearted than Wooly.
* BigShutUp:
** After putting out a fire, the Elves and Woodsprites restart the feud that led to it, so Wooly shuts them up with a big "BE QUIET!"
** When everyone falls under M.A.V.O.'s HatePlague, Teddy tries to stop Grubby, Gimmick, and Wooly from arguing only to receive a collective "Oh, shup up, Teddy!"
* BullyHunter: He won't stand by when he sees someone (usually Tweeg) picking on someone weaker.
* CaringGardener: He's a friendly guy who grows a lot of his own food at his house. In "Harvest Feast", his harvest becomes all kinds of food for the castle banquet.
* CharacterCatchphrase: He almost always says "Hiya" instead of "Hello" or "Hi".
* ChekhovsGun: He finds a shiny red rock at the top of Rainbow Falls in "The Faded Fobs". A few episodes later, it gives Teddy the solution to get back all the money Tweeg cheated out of everyone.
* ClimbingTheCliffsOfInsanity: He's good at climbing cliffs. In the live-action special, it was stated that the Treacherous Mountains were believed to be impossible to climb, but Wooly does it.
* CurbStompBattle: After climbing the Treacherous Mountains, Wooly decides to destroy many of the Gutang Flying Machines with ease.
* CuteGiant: He towers over the other good guys, but he looks like a purple cross between a gorilla and a teddy bear.
* DisneyDeath: In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains", he jumps on the last of the Gutang planes and forces it to crash-land. When the heroes find him, they mourn him for a moment before he turns out to be alive.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: He's so strong that sometimes he clumsily breaks things. In "Elves and Woodsprites", he becomes so fed up with being so big and clumsy that he asks the Trio to shrink him with the Reducing Machine.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: The Wizard is so startled by his appearance that he slams his door in Wooly's face, making him fall on his butt.
* FaceOfAThug: When the Trio and Arin meet him for the first time, they think he's a dangerous monster. But when he learns that they're searching for a kidnapped princess, he reveals himself to be a GentleGiant.
* FlowersOfRomance: On his way to visit Princess Aruzia, whom he has a crush on, he picks some flowers for her in the Jungle with No Name. These flowers turn out to be the antidote for King Nogburt's illness.
* GentleGiant: Despite his immense size and strength, he's actually a very gentle and friendly being.
* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: He knows that bad people do bad things but doesn't understand why. As he puts it, "Why would anybody kidnap a princess? That's bad!"
* GoThroughMe: In "Autumn Adventure", he blocks one of the M.A.V.O. goons from attacking Teddy, making him bounce backwards off his belly.
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Wooly doesn't usually wear anything, but when he does, he's never fully dressed. In "Win One for the Twipper", he just wears a Grungeball team jersey.
* HeavyVoice: Inverted. When he is shrunk by Gimmick's Reducing Machine, he gets a higher, squeakier voice. Strangely, it never happens when anyone else shrinks.
* HelpImStuck: In "The Rainbow Mine", he lands rear-end into the mouth of the cave that Rainbow Falls comes out of.
* HeroicSacrifice: He does one in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains" by jumping on a Gutang plane and making it crash-land before it can shoot his friends. Fortunately, he survives.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He calls himself dumb several times in "The Wooly What's-It". It turns out that he's just undereducated, and he gets over it once he starts to catch up with the rest of Leota's students.
* HumbleHero: Wooly is very helpful to everyone but modest about it too. In "Through Tweeg's Fingers", when the characters thank him for the medicinal flowers he brought them, he modestly says he didn't grow them, just pick them.
* IAmSong: "What is a Wooly What's-It", sung by the Trio, is all about who he is and what he's like.
* IChooseToStay: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", after he is reunited with his own kind, he decides to stay in Grundo, although he promises to come and visit.
* ImplausibleBoardingSkills: He does some impressive feats on his skateboard during Wizardweek, including jumping over Trembley Fault.
* ImprovisedClothes: To infiltrate M.A.V.O. and rescue Grubby and Gimmick, Leota makes him a monster costume out of cotton candy.
* TheInfiltration: Teddy and Leota dress him up in a monster costume and have him pretend to be interested in joining M.A.V.O. so he can sneak in and free Grubby and Gimmick from the M.A.V.O. dungeon.
* InterspeciesAdoption: He's a Snowzo who is implied to have been raised by Fobs.
* InterspeciesRomance: He's implied to have a crush on Princess Aruzia. Whether she's aware of it or not is unclear, although she still sees him as a very dear friend.
* KeepTheReward: When Arin offers him a reward for helping save his sister, Wooly says he's already been rewarded: he got kissed by a princess.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Often, an instrumental version of the chorus of "What's a Wooly What's-It" will play while he's seen on the show.
* LiteralCliffhanger: After Prince Arin turns into the Iron Warrior, and he and Wooly have a tumble, they roll over the end of a cliff with Wooly clinging to a branch and the Iron Warrior clinging to Wooly's tail. After the branch gives, they fall into the water.
* MathematiciansAnswer: In math class, when Leota asks how much a hundred trees plus a hundred trees is, Wooly says, "A forest."
* MissingChild: There's a legend of a young Snowzo who vanished many years ago, and it turns out to be Wooly.
* NiceGuy: Of the GentleGiant variety. All of the Trio's allies exemplify AFriendInNeed, but few people do it as well as Wooly does. Because he is so helpful, Katie gives him the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_name sign name]] of a W over an open hand.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Snowzos live north of the land of Ying, but Wooly grew up in Grundo, so he doesn't share most of his race's aversion to warmth.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: When the Gutang plane he's on crashes, his friends briefly believe that he died, thinking no one could have survived the impact. It turns out that Wooly's [[SuperToughness just that tough]].
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Makes one to Bognostroclum while pretending to be a monster wanting to join M.A.V.O. Bognostroclum says that members can only join at the right time and place, but Wooly picks him up and says, "Do I get to join your club, or do you want to be a door knocker from now on?"
* PapaWolf: Threaten a child or one of his friends and he'll make you sorry. Tweeg discovers this the hard way any time he tries to do a bad deed when Wooly's around.
* PrehensileTail: "The Rainbow Mine" reveals that he can grasp things with his tail.
* PurpleIsPowerful: He's purple and possesses enormous amounts of strength.
* QuestForTheRest: In "One More Spot", Wooly's bothered by the fact that he doesn't know what kind of creature he is, and he's working to figure it out. Eventually, he meets his own kind: the Snowzos.
* RampJump: In the final race of Wizardweek, after Tweeg cuts down the suspension bridge behind him, Wooly is forced to jump across Trembley Fault on his skateboard.
* RealAfterAll: Gimmick spent most of "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos" claiming that Snowzos aren't real. Not only are they real, but Gimmick has been friends with one for months.
* ReallyFondOfSleeping: Wooly likes taking naps for fun.
* SimplemindedWisdom: Wooly is undereducated at first and a bit slow, but he does show moments of worldliness.
* SkewedPriorities: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", while playing Grungeball, he's so concerned about the fact that he broke the bat that he forgets to run to first base.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Invariably fouls up the plans of the villains somehow when he gets involved. Like the time he accidentally convinced M.A.V.O that Tweeg had been trying to oust Quellor and take over for himself.
* SquareCubeLaw: Inverted. In his normal size, he's got SuperStrength, but when he's shrunk by the Reducing Machine, he seems proportionately weaker.
* SuperStrength: Even for his size, Wooly is capable of remarkable feats of strength. It's implied that his muscle is denser than most creatures.
* SuperToughness: After his fall at the end of the Gutang battle, he survives crashing a plane, proving that even an impact like that can't kill him.
* SupremeChef: Wooly's a great cook and is happy to prepare something when his friends pop over. In "Harvest Feast", he cooks enough of a feast to fill a banquet.
* TeamKids: If Teddy is the TeamDad, and Leota is the TeamMom, Grubby, Gimmick, and Wooly are the ones they parent. In Wooly's case, it's because he never had much of an education and feels dumb compared to his classmates. When he and Leota interact, she acts like a surrogate mother to him.
* TechnicalPacifist: Just like Teddy and Arin, any time he resorts to violence, it's non-lethal. But grabbing or throwing around someone who makes him angry? Sure.
* TemporarilyExaggeratedTrait: When M.A.V.O.'s spell of darkness casts over Grundo, it happens to most of Teddy's friends. In Wooly's case, his love for naps is turned up to not wanting to do anything else.
* ThatsNoMoon: In "The Rainbow Mine", when he gets stuck in the Rainbow Falls cave entrance, the Trio mistakes him for a big rock.
* TrampolineTummy: In "The Crystal Book", he lets some Fobs use his belly as a trampoline.
* UndyingLoyalty: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him, the Crystal says that loyalty is a key trait of his. And he's certainly loyal to his friends.
* UnskilledButStrong: He's the strongest of the good guys but can be a bit clumsy with it.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In "Escape from M.A.V.O.", when he sees his friends (really the Anythings) appear to split into AnimateBodyParts, he just tells them to quit fooling around.
* VagueAge: Wooly lives along and takes care of himself, but he often looks at the world like a young child and attends Leota's class with kids.
* VerbalTic: Often goes "Blblblblblbl!" when talking.
* WeaponizedBall: In "Tweeg joins M.A.V.O.", after collecting some of Tweeg's cannonballs to return to him, he throws them at M.A.V.O. Headquarters, breaking right through the stone walls.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Mudblups. In "Autumn Adventure", the Fobs claim that Wooly's not afraid of anything, but to him, the Trio's Mudblup costumes are so convincing that he's terrified of them.

The son and eldest child of King Nogburt. The Trio first met him while they were being held captive by the Mudblups.

Gimmick's pet Fob. He doesn't appear in all episodes at Gimmick's house. He is cheerful and friendly but also proud of being a Fob, sometimes to the point of cockiness.
----
* AgeLift: Described as a baby Fob in one book, but in the cartoon, he's fully-grown.
* ArmlessBiped: All Fobs have two feet but no arms.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: In "Take a Good Look", when Gimmick's Reducing Machine restores the Trio to their normal size, they accidentally enlarge Fuzz too, resulting in a giant Fob hopping around the house after them.
* BindleStick: At part of Teddy's plan, he and some other Fobs have these in "The Rainbow Mine", making Tweeg think they're leaving Rainbow Falls because there's no more water.
* {{Birdcaged}}: When Tweeg kidnaps him in "The Third Crystal", he's locked in a birdcage. A Fob is small enough for that.
* BlowingARaspberry: While Tweeg holds him captive in "The Third Crystal",
* CommutingOnABus: Despite living with the Trio, he often disappears for a few episodes at a time. It's later established that he sometimes visits his fellow Fobs at Rainbow Falls.
* ChromaticArrangement: Of the three main Fobs, Fuzz is green, Frank is blue, and Faye is red.
* DefiantCaptive: While he's Tweeg's prisoner, he refuses to show any fear, treating Tweeg like a joke.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Third Crystal" focuses on him.
* DistressedDude: The Trio rescue him from Tweeg in "The Third Crystal".
* TheGadfly: But only to Tweeg. While captured, he handles the situation by poking fun at his captor.
* HappilyAdopted: He's quite happy to be Gimmick's pet.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: According to the book "Uncle Grubby", Fuzz is an orphan who was found by Gimmick as a baby. He's still a cheerful and well-loved guy.
* HiddenDepths: When he joins Wooly's team for Wizardweek, he turns out to be a pretty good glider pilot in "Air and Water Races".
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: When he appears, he sometimes makes the Trio seem more like a quartet. He lives with them, is treated like part of the family, and joins them on some of their adventures, but he often stays behind or does his own thing while they're off adventuring.
* InconsistentColoring: In a couple of episodes, he's purple with pink trim, but he's usually green with yellow trim. Justified since Rainbow Falls water gives Fobs their color, so it's possible to change color.
* InformedAttribute: In one episode, Teddy says Fuzz is usually too shy to wander far from home, but Fuzz is very nervy and often goes to visit the other Fobs.
* InsultBackfire: When Tweeg says "When I'm finished with you and your pals, you'll regret the day you ever laid eyes on me," Fuzz retorts, "I already do."
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a bit cocky and outspoken but still a nice, friendly guy who's fond of his friends.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: During the Wizardweek episode "Air and Water Races", he knows when it's time to bail out rather than risk crashing.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Calls Tweeg "Tweek" while in a cage, which makes L.B. like him even more.
* MotorMouth: It's not that he doesn't know when to shut up. He just talks fast. This is because Fob voices are sped up to sound higher.
* NervesOfSteel: When Tweeg kidnaps him, he discovers that Fuzz doesn't know how to be intimidated.
* ObliviouslyEvil: In "Take a Good Look", he serves as the antagonist without realizing it. He just doesn't recognize his friends in their tiny size and thinks they're juicy bugs.
* ParachuteInATree: After bailing out from his glider in "Air and Water Races".
* PrehensileTail. He can use his tail to hold or carry objects like other Fobs.
* RaisedByHumans: According to the book version of "Uncle Grubby", Fuzz has been raised by Gimmick since he was a baby.
* RememberTheNewGuy: He doesn't get much of an introduction when he first appears in "Take a Good Look". It's presented as if Teddy and Grubby already know him well.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Like other Fobs, he's tiny, squat, has colorful fur, stubby legs, and a long tail.
* SapientPet: He's Gimmick's pet, but he can talk, think, and is treated like a person.
* SuperPersistentPredator: In his first appearance, when the Trio are shrunk by the Reducing Machine, he mistakes them for bugs and chases them non-stop until everyone is back to their normal size.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In "Fugitives", when he delivers Teddy's message Grubby and Gimmick while M.A.V.O. has them under house arrest, he tells the M.A.V.O. guard that he's not delivering any secret messages and that he doesn't even know who Teddy Ruxpin is. The guard is dumb enough to him through.
* TeamPet: To the Trio whenever he's with them.
* WaterWakeUp: A shrunk-down Grubby falls into his water bowl and wakes him up with a splash to the face.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the first three days of Wizardweek, he's with Wooly's team, but he disappears for the second half of the Great Grundo Ground Race.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: For a long time, he seems fearless, but when Gimmick tells him about the Giant Snowzos, he's terrified.

!!The Hermit of Leekee Lake/[[spoiler:Burl Ruxpin]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Phil Baron
->'''First appearance:''' "To the Rescue"
A mysterious being rumored to live on an island in Leekee Lake. He is revealed to be an Illiop, and later, [[spoiler:Teddy Ruxpin's father who had his memories erased by the Black Box]].
----
* AmnesiaMissedASpot: He has some slight remnant memories that hint who he is. One major clue is that he knows [[spoiler:a song that Teddy's father made up for him when he was little]].
* AscendedExtra: He becomes a major character in the last two main story arcs.
* BearyFriendly: He's a nice guy who saves Teddy from drowning in the river in his first appearance.
* BigDamnReunion: When he finally remembers that he is [[spoiler:Teddy's father, the two of them sing a song called "Together Again", and then he is reunited with his wife in the next episode]].
* BlankSlate: When Gimmick tries to use the Crystal Stethoscope on him, it reveals no personality traits. This is what happens when you have your memories erased by the Black Box.
* BoundAndGagged: M.A.V.O. wraps him up in chains while he's kept prisoner at Eleanor's house.
* CanonForeigner: He did not appear in the books and cassette tapes.
* TheCaretaker: After he saves Teddy from drowning in the river, he takes care of him and nurses him back to health while Teddy drifts in and out of consciousness.
* DependingOnTheWriter: In-universe example. There are all kinds of stories floating around about him because no one has met him in person before. "Some say he's a monster with huge glowing eyes, or a fish, or a Fob, or a sneaky M.A.V.O. spy..."
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:He was captured by M.A.V.O., had his memory erased, and got sent to the Ying Zoo. Even after escaping, he couldn't return to his family due to having lost his memory, so he ended up living in Leekee Lake.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's just called the Hermit of Leekee Lake because no one knew his name. Teddy addresses him as Mr. Hermit.
* FunnyAnimal: The Illiops are anthropomorphic bears who generally act like human beings.
* GaleForceSound: When he and Teddy say goodbye to Zeb and Maple, Zeb tells him to speak up. He shouts at him, blowing him backwards because Zeb's a tiny Elf.
* GoodParents: [[spoiler:Even before he remembered he was Teddy father, he was always good to him, even being a PapaWolf.]]
* GutFeeling: In "Fugitives", he tells Teddy that they should approach Gimmick's house cautiously, saying he has a hunch that something's wrong. He was right because M.A.V.O. was guarding the house.
* HappilyMarried; [[spoiler:To Ilana. He would have returned if he remembered she existed. When they reunite, all is well between them.]]
* TheHermit: It's what everyone calls him because he keeps to himself.
* HostageMacGuffin: After M.A.V.O. accidentally kidnaps him instead of Teddy, they use him as bait, knowing one Illiop will always save another. It gets Teddy captured.
* HouseSquatting: He doesn't own his lair. He just found it. It was built by an old civilization on his island, but since no one used it anymore, he settled there.
* IAmSong: The characters sing a song about him and his legend, but the lyrics make it clear that no one knows for sure what he is. So, more of an "I Might Be" Song.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Like Teddy, he does not fall under M.A.V.O.'s evil spell when they have the Crystals, suggesting that Illiops are immune to it. Maybe this is why M.A.V.O. fears them.
* InTheHood: Early on, he would keep the hood of his robe up to make him seem mysterious. He stops wearing it when he begins to open up to Teddy.
* IntrepidMerchant: [[spoiler:Before he lost his memory, he was a trader and adventurer who traveled around trading his herbs for both food and medicine. He never came back after M.A.V.O. captured him.]]
* ItsQuietTooQuiet: In "Fugitives", when he and Teddy reach Gimmick's Valley, he says that when everything seems fine like it does then, that's just when things go wrong.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The Seventh Crystal did this to him, although he is hinted to have some trace memories.
* LethalChef: He cooks very sticky food from underwater plants that Teddy finds hard to digest. Like with Grubby's root recipes, Teddy pretends to like it.
* LivingLegend: [[spoiler:In Rillonia, he's become such a famous explorer that they hold a special day in his honor.]]
* TheMedic: One of his skills is healing. In his first appearance, he nurses Teddy back to health and gives him a homemade healing potion. [[spoiler:He gets it from his old life as a trader when he worked with a lot of herbs.]]
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: He keeps to himself so much that people aren't even sure what he is. The Grunges think he's a sea monster. He's just an Illiop who's not comfortable being around anyone.
* MysteriousProtector: He saves Teddy from drowning in the river, then sneaks away before anyone sees him, leaving Teddy uncertain if he was a dream or not. The next time he saves Teddy, from Dredge while underwater, he drops the secrecy for Teddy only.
* MysteriousWatcher: After Leota and Wooly find Teddy alone in the Hermit's camp, the Hermit spends the episode watching him from a distance. He's very interested in the younger Illiop but not ready to show his face yet.
* NiceGuy: The Hermit is a very goodhearted guy and not scary at all like the legends say. When Teddy falls in the river, he saves him and nurses him back to help.
* NobodyHereButUsStatues: [[spoiler:He surprises everyone in Rillonia with his return, including his wife, by pretending to be the statue that was built to commemorate him.]]
* NoNeedForNames: He tells Teddy that he doesn't think he has a name. He didn't need one because he had no friends before Teddy.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: He rescues Teddy from drowning in rapids in "To the Rescue", but this is never shown. The episode skips from Teddy being swept away to the Hermit caring for a barely conscious Teddy on the shore.
* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Most Illiops usually go barefoot, but the Hermit regularly wears a pair of boots.
* ShockStick: Among the many things he's found are a bunch electric shock prods for dealing with underwater creatures. He calls them stingers.
* ShrinkingViolet: The real reason he runs away from people is that he's very shy.
* ShroudedInMyth: Because no one ever knew for sure that he was real, there were all kinds of stories about what he could be.
* SixthRanger: In the last two story arcs, he becomes an extra member of the heroes.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: When Teddy begins to sing "Will You Go to Sleep Before I Do?", the Hermit joins in. This is the first clue that [[spoiler:he's really Teddy's long-lost father who made up that song and sang it for Teddy when he was little]].

!!Grunges
[[folder:In General]]
!!In General
The main humanoid race of Grundo. They tend to be passionate about their hobbies and like to fill their days with partying or enjoying music. One of two good races collectively seen regularly in both the books and the cartoons.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Most of them have yellow skin in the books. In the cartoon, they have human flesh tones.
* CastHerd: The Jungle Grunges and Surf Grunges are separate groups who aren't usually seen together except to fill a crowd. Louie belongs to neither group, being part of a two-person herd with his boss.
* CastOfSnowflakes: The Grunges all have similar facial anatomy, but their features come in different shapes and designs. Each Grunge also has a distinct outfit and hair.
* ADayInTheLimelight: After their introduction, they often serve as crowd fillers or {{Bit Character}}s, but "Anything in the Soup" gives the Jungle Grunges more screentime, while "Win One for the Twipper" does it for the Surf Grunges.
* {{Demihuman}}: While Illipers might be a HumanSubspecies, Grunges are something else. Humans don't have antennae, two-toed feet, or those oversized noses, but apart from that, the Grunges could almost pass for humans. They also tend to have more body hair, snaggleteeth, and warts.
* FourFingeredHands: Literally, but they also have just two big toes on each foot.
* LifeOfTheParty: Grunges love to dance, play music, and party.
* LovableJock: A Grunge's favorite game is Grungeball, which is just baseball with a different name. They're friendly folks who are good at it. The Surf Grunges also enjoy surfing.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: None of the Grunges have names in the books except for Louie, the Wizard's assistant, and Boomer, one of the Surf Grunges. The cartoon gives several of them names.
* OutdoorsyGal: The female Grunges prefer to spend their time doing outdoor activities just like their male counterparts, even though they live in houses like most people.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Most female Grunges take their game of Grungeball very seriously.
* SeriousBusiness: Grunges take their hobbies very seriously. They love music and dance, Jungle Grunges can get touchy about the vegetables they grow, and Surf Grunges are all about surfing.
* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: Grunge hair can be almost any color, from normal human hair colors like red, blonde, or brown to more unnatural ones like purple, pink, or green.

* ForgottenBirthday: Apparently, on his last birthday, the Wizard forgot to buy him a present.
* IntrepidReporter: While Louie works for a wizard instead of the press, he otherwise acts like an old-fashioned news reporter, adventuring out and getting footage of any noteworthy event.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A slow, old-fashioned sounding bluesy piece plays when he shows up.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Most Grunges are wild, fun-loving party animals who don't do a lot of work. Louie is more serious and focused on his job.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Louie points out how the Wizard and the Sorcerer, as much as they hate each other, are alike in that they'll both do anything for money.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: After Wizardland falls apart and leaves the Wizard broke, Louie suggests throwing a party to cheer him up, and they could invite his brother. He realizes too late that he shouldn't have said that last part when the Wizard gets depressed again.
* ServileSnarker: He sometimes copes with his job as the Wizard's put-upon assistant by making snarky remarks.
* ThoseMagnificentFlyingMachines: He rides around on a pedal-powered helicopter that can carry huge loads.
* UnstoppableMailman: Apart from his job for the Wizard, Louie is also Grundo's mail carrier. Thanks to his helicopter, he can get any mail to anywhere in Grundo.

!!King Nogburt's Castle
[[folder:In General]]
!!In General
The royal family of Grundo and their servants and courtiers live in a royal castle in the northwestern part of Grundo. Most of the castle's inhabitants are Illipers, but there are many Perloons too.
----
* BigFancyCastle: King Nogburt's castle is probably the fanciest building in all of Grundo.
* GhibliHills: Most Illipers and Perloons live at the castle or on the farms that surround it on three sides, but if you step out the front door, you'll see miles of unspoiled wilderness ahead of you.
* MedievalEuropeanFantasy: The castle looks like a medieval castle with a lot of nearby farmlands, and many of the residents speak with a British accent, although much of the rest of Grundo does not look very medieval.
* MedievalStasis: Subverted. Compared to Gimmick's house or the Hard to Find City, the castle's technology seems far behind, but in the Wizardweek arc, the Illipers have a biplane to enter the race, showing that they are more technologically advanced than they look.
* RecurringExtra: Nameless inhabitants of the castle are sometimes re-used to fill a crowd.
* StandardRoyalCourt: There's the royal family at the top, the army of castle guards to protect it, and the various domestic servants such as cooks, gardeners, and maids to keep it running. Then you have the more specialized roles, such as the CourtJester, the minstrel, the royal messenger, and the royal physician.
* WelcomingSong: The courtiers sing one for the Trio called "We Officially Welcome You" when they spot their Airship coming.
* YouAllLookFamiliar: The palace guards all look identical, with or without armor, though they have different voices. This allows the Trio to make a CloneArmy with the Duplicating Machine without looking too suspicious.

* HappilyMarried: They're clearly happy together after so many years.

* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: Their crowns and royal robes.

* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: In "Harvest Feast", then Gimmick takes the king for a spin in the Sub-Water Boat, he asks what the controls do as he tries them. He inadvertently sends them down an underwater tunnel.

The other most frequently seen race, mostly as sapient wildlife in the cartoon or as background singers on the cassette tapes. These small, furry creatures usually live near Rainbow Falls and get their colors from drinking its water. Recurring Fobs include Frank, Faye, and their three babies.
----
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Fobs often have first names that start with F, including Fuzz, Frank, and Faye. Some random Fob is apparently named Fred.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: They're naturally gray, but thanks to Rainbow Falls water, they come in all colors of the rainbow.
* AmbiguousGender: It's usually hard to tell if a Fob is male or female, since most lack Faye's TertiarySexualCharacteristics. We don't even know if Frank and Faye's babies are boys or girls.
* ArmlessBiped: Fobs have two feet but no arms.
* CivilizedAnimal: They are sapient, talk, use manmade objects, and may even [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal wear an accessory]], but they still live as wild animals or pets.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Faded Fobs" and "Uncle Grubby" focus on the Fobs.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In "Guests of the Grunges", a baby Fob looks like a miniature version of an adult. In later episodes, baby Fobs have undeveloped tails and antennae, shorter fur, and proportionately larger heads.

* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Fobs are chatty creatures who often take over talking for each other.

* TheImmune: Fobs can't get the Tweezles because Rainbow Falls water has a different effect on them.
* KeepingTheHandicap: Most Fobs hate when they lose their coloring without Rainbow Falls water, but "Autumn Adventure" reveals that some Fobs choose to stay a dull gray.
* MixAndMatchCritter: Fobs look kind of like a cross between a penguin and a guinea pig with an opossum's tail and a pair of antennae.

[[folder:The Wizard]]
!!The Wizard
->'''Voiced by:''' Tony Pope (books and special), John Koensgen (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "In the Fortress of the Wizard"
A strange man who calls himself a wizard but doesn't actually use magic, instead using a camera and projector to trick people into thinking he can see distant events. He's quite greedy and always looking for a way to make more money, but he's a much nicer person than his brother, the Sorcerer of Ying.
----
* AscendedExtra: He and Louie appear more in the cartoon than in the books and have major roles in some episodes.
* AshFace: When using a flame or rocket to start a race in Wizardweek, this usually happens to him.
* TheBarnum: While not as unscrupulous as his brother, the Wizard of Grundo does fool his customers and charges a lot for his services. Though he does genuinely try to make his customers happy and satisfied.
* BigBrotherBully: He's older than the Sorcerer, and the two hate each other and call each other insulting nicknames.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: The symbol on his hat is a stylized W for "Wizard".
* CoolOldGuy: Wooly thinks he's this. While he only seems to care about money, he does act like one at times.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The Wizardweek arc focuses more on him when he throws a sports festival to bring in money.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: In "To the Rescue", when Wooly knocks it on his door, he knocks it over right onto the Wizard and leaves him SquashedFlat.
* EmbarrassingNickname: The Sorcerer calls him "Stinky". He has one for the Sorcerer too, "Bucky".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When Teddy says that "the poor princess" needs their help, he says "''Poor'' princess? Forget it!" Gimmick clarifies that Aruzia is a rich but unfortunate princess, so the Wizard changes his mind and lets them in. And that's all you need to know about him.
* EurekaMoment: In "Wizardweek", after his destroyed amusement park left him broke and depressed, hearing the word "festival" gives him a brilliant idea: hold a sports festival to honor himself and charge admission fees.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone in Grundo calls him the Wizard. His name hasn't been revealed.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Sure, he's a greedy deceiver who only helps people if they pay, but unlike his evil brother, he never harms anyone, is fair to his customers, and the information he sells is true.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Literature/LandOfOz the Wizard of Oz]]. Both are fake wizards living in a fantasy country, using ordinary devices to pass themselves off as powerful wizards. There is even a ShoutOut to it when he says [[Film/TheWizardOfOz "That's a horoscope of a different color."]]
* {{Facepalm}}: Does this when Louie misunderstands him over their radio in his first appearance.
* FakeWizardry: The Wizard does this as a schtick to attract customers. His "magic eye" is just a movie projector screen, but the technology is so rare and obscure that it's easy to fool people. Despite his fakery, all the information he provides is as true as he can make it.
* GoodCounterpart: Compared to his brother, he's a much nicer person despite being similarly greedy. While the Sorcerer of Ying makes money by exploiting people in his zoo, the Wizard genuinely tries to entertain and help people.
* IAmSong: Wooly and Leota sing a song all about who he is and what he does in "To the Rescue".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's greedy and only seems to care about money, but he does have morals that his brother lacks. During Teddy's DisneyDeath, he mourns Teddy, and in the penultimate episode, [[spoiler:he officiates L.B. and Buffy's wedding]].
* KnowledgeBroker: His main source of income is providing information for a fee. While he uses deceit to pass it off as magic, at least the information is as accurate as he's able to give.
* LadiesAndGerms: Says "Ladies and gentlemonsters" when speaking to the monsters of Ying.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's not particular about who he helps if he gets paid.
* PhonyPsychic: The Wizard is an unusual subversion. While he's something of a con artist, the information he presents to his customers is true. He claims the images he shows are the results of his magic, but they're just footage filmed by Louie.
* PointyEars: His ears are pointy, a feature that most Perloons seem to lack.
* QuarrelingSong: In "Wizardland", he and his brother sing a song that is basically a debate about who's got the better tourist attraction.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he only works for money, he's a fair judge or umpire when he oversees sporting events.
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: He fires a cannon to start the Great Grundo Ground Race and gets recoiled backwards.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Always wears a blue robe and pointed blue hat with white suns, moons, and stars all over.
* SiblingRivalry: He and the Sorcerer take this to the next level. The Wizard opens a theme park called Wizardland right across the way from the Sorcerer's own attraction the Ying Zoo, and the two constantly compete for customers.
* SloganYellingMegaphoneGuy: He uses a megaphone to announce the attractions at Wizardland to draw his brother's customers away.
* SpeechImpediment: He is a Perloon, but instead of a stutter like Gimmick and Eunice, he talks with a slight lisp.
* SquashedFlat: In "Wizardland", when he declares his new theme park open for business, the customers trample all over him and leave him flat. He's back to normal in his next scene.
* SweetTooth: He admits that he has one in "Tweeg the Vegetable" when he tries some donuts from L.B.
* TrashTalk: He and the Sorcerer enjoy doing this to each other. And they use megaphones to do it.
* WizardBeard: He has a white beard like a lot of wizards, although shorter than most.
* WizardClassic: While he's not a real wizard, he looks and acts the part as much as he can. He wears a robe, pointed hat, and white beard and lives in a fortress in the wilderness.

* StrongAnts: She and her team aren't ants, but they fill the same role of ants carrying off picnic food.
* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: The rule of getting a new spot means that a ladybug must do her own good deed herself.

But at the Bug Fair, the announcer says that she made three new friends and gave up her last chance at a new spot to make sure they were happy, which is the best good deed anyone can do.

** Some: Green with yellow trim

** One More: Purple with tan trim.

* CowardlyLion: According to the books, This is the bravest of them, though still easily frightened, and the first one to talk to anyone in almost a century since his great-grandfather [[MeaningfulName Timid the Brave]] said "hi" to a Fob. After This opens up to the Trio, That and The Other follow his example and don't feel so afraid anymore.

!!Snowzos
->'''Voiced by:''' Various
->'''First appearance:''' "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos"
A race of yeti-like creatures who live north of the Land of Ying up in the snowy mountains.
----
* AmbiguouslyRelated: Wooly wonders if he and the first Snowzo he meets could be cousins. The Snowzo rolls with it.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Snowzos are a species of cat-tailed yeti-like creatures who dwell in the cold regions of Grundo.
* FaeriesDontBelieveInHumansEither: Gimmick spends most of their episode saying Snowzos are a myth. When he meets some Snowzos and introduces himself as a Perloon, one of the Snowzos says, "Everybody knows Perloons don't exist."
* GentleGiant: People are afraid of them because they're big and mysterious, but they're really very friendly.
* HiddenElfVillage: They live up in the mountains north of Ying and rarely come down because they can't stand warm weather.
* IAmSong: One of them sings "A Typical Giant Snowzo" to explain what he is.
* MistakenIdentity: Teddy and his friends initially mistake a Snowzo they have just met for their friend Wooly. Justified, since it turns out that Wooly is a Snowzo himself.
* NoNameGiven: None of them are named.
* OneShotCharacter: They only appear in "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos".
* OurCryptidsAreMoreMysterious: Based on the Yeti, a well-known cryptid, but also treated as a cryptid in-universe. There have been many alleged Snowzo sightings, but their existence has never been proven before their episode. The reason for this is that they avoid warm weather and only come down from their home when it gets cold enough.
* {{Snowlems}}: Subverted. When Tweeg sees a Snowzo for the first time, thanks to a series of circumstances, he's convinced that he's brought a snowman to life by magic. This turns out not to be the case, but Tweeg continues to believe it.

!Villains
!!Tweeg and L.B.
[[folder:In General]]
!!In General
The original main villains of the series. Tweeg is a half-Grunge, half-Troll who dreams of being the greatest villain in Grundo, while L.B. is his begrudging Bounder henchman. They appear in more episodes than any other characters except the Trio.
----
* ActuallyThatsMyAssistant: While disguised as painters in the castle, Queen Lillibet calls Tweeg L.B.'s assistant instead of the other way around because she thinks L.B. is doing a better job.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: They are introduced in the fourth book and tape ''Tweeg and the Bounders''. In the animated series, they are there from the start.
* AdultsDressedAsChildren: In "The Lemonade Stand", they disguise themselves as two little boys selling lemonade, dressing in old-fashioned sailor boy outfits. Tweeg is way taller than the Trio, but everyone is fooled anyway.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: Tweeg takes and L.B. gives. Tweeg makes L.B. do all the hard work and heavy lifting around the tower and puts off paying him as much as possible, yet L.B. never resigns.
* AmbiguousSyntax: When Tweeg thinks he's sick he says to L.B., "Call me a doctor!" "Okay, Twip. You're a doctor."
* ArtsyBeret: They wear berets as part of their disguise as painters to sneak into King Nogburt's castle.
* AscendedExtra: They only appear in a few of the books, but they appear in all but a few episodes of the series. Tweeg's desire to join M.A.V.O. is just mentioned in the books to give him a motive, but in this series, it's an ongoing story arc. L.B. also has character development, and his relationship Buffy is a subplot.
* AshFace: This tends to happen to them, but mostly to Tweeg, when the cannon doesn't fire properly.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: They don't often show it, but L.B. goes for help when Tweeg gets the Tweezles, goes to Ying to find him and bring him home, and later saves him from Quellor's henchmen when they tie him up. They also give each other holiday gifts, and [[spoiler:Tweeg also gives L.B. a wedding present when L.B. marries Buffy]].
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: This is how they see things. It's why Tweeg dreams of being a great villain and why L.B. sweet-talks his girlfriend with disgusting metaphors.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Tweeg, a Troll/Grunge hybrid, is a few times taller than L.B., a Bounder.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: When Tweeg's cannon fails to fire a cannonball, they (but mostly Tweeg) are prone to getting blasted backwards
* BoxedCrook: After Tweeg and L.B. fail Quellor, they're made prisoners, but they're the only ones at M.A.V.O. who have dealt with Teddy, so when Quellor gives them a chance to make up for their mistakes, they jump at the chance. Unfortunately, they Teddy and don't recover the Crystals, so it's back to scrubbing floors for them.
* BrainsAndBrawn: Tweeg describes their relationship this way in "Teddy and the Mudblups". Tweeg does the planning (badly), L.B. does the pulling (begrudgingly).
* BumblingHenchmenDuo: Once they begin working for Quellor, they become this. They were always a bumbling duo, but before, one was the other's henchman.
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: They constantly argue and annoy each other, but both have admitted that it's not the same when the other is not around.
* ChariotPulledByCats: L.B., a bounder, usually pulls Tweeg in his wagon.
* CheatersNeverProsper: No matter how many times they lie and cheat, they never seem to come out on top. It's occasionally subverted. In "Air and Water Races", Tweeg comes up with an idea to sabotage the competition by sewing them into their sleeping bags, allowing his team to get first, second, and third place in the synchronized swimming contest.
* CirclingBirdies: The "seeing stars" variant tends to happen to Tweeg when he gets knocked on the head. L.B. gets it too on occasion.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Tweeg's Mom" mostly focuses on them, while the Trio appear very little in the episode.
* DressedToPlunder: In "Captured", they briefly get to join the M.A.V.O. pirates dressed in pirate clothes.
* {{Expy}}: Tweeg and L.B. are expies of [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Dick]] [[WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines Dastardly and Muttley]]. L.B. occasionally laughs like Muttley, and Tweeg not only has his DickDastardlyStopsToCheat moments but he once said [[BorrowedCatchphrase "Drat, drat, and double drat"]].
* GoKartingWithBowser: In "Win One for the Twipper" and the Wizardweek arc, they compete against the Trio in sporting events.
* HumanSnowball: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", L.B. rolls down a hill in a big snowball, picking up Tweeg along the way.
* ICantHearYou: Near the end of "Double Grubby", the blast from Tweeg's cannon is so loud that it leaves them both saying, "Speak up! I can't hear you!" to each other at the same time.
* InstitutionalApparel: While they're prisoners of M.A.V.O. during the Anythings arc, they wear black-and-white striped outfits.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A sinister tune will often play when the camera points to or pulls into their tower.
* KarmaHoudini: In many episodes, they spend their time causing trouble and chaos without getting punished. Subverted mid-series when they disappoint Quellor one time too many and get clapped in irons.
* LiteralAssKicking: Tweeg kicks L.B. away in the rear end in "Musical Oppressors" when he wants him to go find the Black Box.
* MacGuffinBlindness: In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains"¸ they dismiss the Crystals that the Trio found as worthless pieces of glass, thinking that the real treasure is the room full of gold that they left behind. Double-subverted in "Grubby's Romance". Once they take a closer look at the Crystals, they think that they might be valuable...because they look like diamonds.
* MasterOfDisguise: Disguises seem to be the one thing they're always good at. From old ladies to little boys to smooth-talking businessmen, their ability to fool people knows no bounds.
* OhCrap: They get this reaction when something goes wrong. For example, when they follow the Trio into a cave in the Great Desert, they realize they're in trouble when they see Mudblups coming.
* PaperThinDisguise: Tweeg, being a unique hybrid, has a very distinct appearance, but people hardly ever see through his disguises unless he takes them off. But L.B. takes the cake. All he has to do is put on a hat and people are fooled.
* PetTheDog: Both are known to do acts that imply that they don't really hate each other. At the winter holiday season, for example, they give each other presents, although they agree to go back to being bad guys the next day.
* PluckyComicRelief: Tweeg's failed schemes and L.B.'s snark provide a lot of humor in the show. Both serve as each other's ButtMonkey, and they're the focus of comedic subplots of several episodes.
* PunishmentDetail: When Tweeg and L.B. are made prisoners of M.A.V.O., they're forced to spend their time washing floors and doing laundry.
* RegularCharacter: In the animated series, they are only absent from a handful of the sixty-five episodes.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: They are both each other's favorite target for derogatory remarks.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: They constantly insult and annoy each other, making you wonder why they put up with the situation for so long.
* UnexpectedSuccessor: Both briefly serve as the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O., but neither of them sees it coming. The rules say that the Supreme Oppressor must always possess the Black Box, so just getting a hold of it puts them into the position.
* VillainDecay: While they were never that threatening to begin with, their failed attempts at evil deeds began to wear thin by the middle of the series. Around this time, the writers put more focus on Quellor and the rest of M.A.V.O., who were genuinely dangerous villains.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Emphasis on the vitriolic part. Despite their bickering, they stick together.
* WorkingOnTheChainGang: During their time as M.A.V.O. prisoners, they get chained together at the ankles and are forced to clean M.A.V.O. Headquarters.
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Any time L.B. gets Tweeg's name right, it means something. He says it to Tweeg's face twice in the series: once when Tweeg thinks he's seriously sick, and once with the rest of the Bounders as holiday gift. Tweeg is very touched by the latter.

[[folder:Jack W. Tweeg]]
!!Jack W. Tweeg
->'''Voiced by:''' Will Ryan (books and special), John Koensgen (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "The Treasure of Grundo"
Tweeg was the Trio's first antagonist. He wants more than anything to be accepted into the Monsters and Villains Organization, but he's just not evil enough. He lives in a tall tower in Gimmick's valley and is constantly trying to run Gimmick out of the valley, so he can claim it all for himself. He is constantly trying to perfect a formula for turning buttermilk into gold.
----
* AccidentalAimingSkills: The first time his cannon hits something, he was aiming for Gimmick's house as usual, but instead he hits Mrs. Maggotheart's collection wagon. The other time, he's trying to take the Airship out of the final Wizardweek race, but he ends up hitting his mother's vehicle.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the books, Tweeg was kicked out of the evil land of Ying for not being evil enough. The cartoon establishes him as the Grundo-born son of a Grunge and a Troll and makes no reference to him ever being in Ying before the series.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: It's a RunningGag. He's had boxes, cannonballs, and other things land on his foot in "The Faded Fobs", "Sign of a Friend", "The Crystal Book," "The Black Box", and "A Race to the Finish".
* AintTooProudToBeg: On several occasions, he's willing to get down on the floor and beg Quellor or his mother to have mercy.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: When Tweeg zaps himself by the Black Box, he doesn't act villainous anymore.
* AmusingInjuries: Tweeg falls victim to a lot of these. Sometimes he's HoistByHisOwnPetard, sometimes L.B. puts it on him, and sometimes things just happen.
* AmusinglyAwfulAim: Tweeg regularly bombards Newton Gimmick's house with a cannon from his tower. However, Tweeg's aim is so bad that there is a neat, clean ring of cannonballs all around Newton's house.
* AnythingButThat: The worst possible fate imaginable to him is being locked in a room with the M.A.V.O. dues collector.
* BaitAndSwitchComment: He does this twice in "The Great Grundo Ground Race". Before the race starts, he says, "I've never challenged Mummy before. I'm afraid it might upset her." [...] "Upset her when I leave her sucking dust at the finish line!" Later, when L.B. helps him escape the capture of Quellor's henchmen, he says, "I never thought I'd thank you for anything, L.B." [...] "So I won't."
* BalconyEscape: He climbs out his window down his balcony at one point, so he won't have to face Mrs. Maggotheart when she comes over. The rope breaks.
* BaldOfEvil: He's a villain who's bald. It's not clear why. Both his parents have a head full of hair, yet a cross between their races doesn't.
* BareHandedPuppetry: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he dresses his hand as an Elf named Tweegle and draws on a face so he can cause trouble in the Elf and Woodsprite Village.
* BecauseISaidSo: His usual response when L.B. asks why he has to do a certain task.
* BerserkButton: Cannot ''stand it'' when people mess up his name. Of course, L.B. loves to deliberately do this just for kicks.
* BetrayalByOffspring: He sells his own mother out to the Mudblup King so he and L.B. can escape from prison.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite his status as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, Tweeg has twice nearly managed to start a war; once between the formerly friendly Elves and Woodsprites, and again between M.A.V.O. and the Gutangs. His actions were only stopped at the last minute both times.
* BigBadEnsemble: Part of one along with Quellor, the Mudblup King, the Sorcerer, and the Gutangs. All are independent villains of each other.
* BigBadWannabe: He dreams of being the greatest villain in Grundo, even becoming Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O., but his schemes usually blow up in his face.
* BigDamnReunion: [[spoiler:In "Father's Day", he reunites with his father when his father comes to meet him.]]
* BlankSlate: After he's had his memory erased by the Black Box, he is left with no thoughts and no personality. When Gimmick tries to use the Crystal Stethoscope on him, it doesn't register any personality traits at all.
* BlessedWithSuck: Being a cross between a Troll and a Grunge has its problems. He has his mother's evil morals but his father's skills, so he can't be both happy and successful.
* BlowingARaspberry: In the Wizardweek ground race, after the Elves and Woodsprites fix his sabotage, he blows them one in frustration.
* {{Bouncer}}: During L.B.'s reign as Supreme Oppressor, he becomes the new gatekeeper and is forced to deal with the riffraff of monsters that try to come in.
* BoundAndGagged:
** In "Uncle Grubby", when he's put on trial at M.A.V.O., he's chained up in court. He's then gagged so he can't defend himself because no M.A.V.O. trial is a fair one.
** In "Winter Adventure", Quellor's henchmen come to his tower and tie him up so they can get his gold formula. They skip the gag, though, because then he can't tell them what they want him to know.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: He often monograms his things with a big T for Tweeg.
* BuffySpeak: When he has some catapults built for war with the Gutangs, he calls them "springy things". When L.B. clarifies that they're called catapults, Tweeg thinks he's thinking of caterpillars.
* CaptivityHarmonica: Plays one after being thrown in the M.A.V.O. dungeon. After being fed up with being locked up, he throws it in frustration.
* CardCarryingVillain: Or card-carrying villain wannabe. In Grundo, villains usually refer to themselves as villains, including Tweeg.
* CatchYourDeathOfCold: After being caught in a sudden downpour in his burned-down house, his next scene has him sneezing under a blanket with his feet in hot water.
* TheChewToy: He never seems to stop being a source of comedic pain.
* TheChosenWannabe: Played with. In "The Faded Fobs", he thinks he's the Chosen One when tells L.B. that his destiny is to rule Grundo, but in-universe, there is no Chosen One, and the only prophecy is the ancient M.A.V.O. lore about spreading darkness across Grundo with the Crystals.
* ChronicVillainy: In the last few episodes, he seems like he's leaving villainy to follow in his father's footsteps, but the sight of Elroy's surfing winnings reminds him: once an evil genius, always an evil genius.
* ClassyCane: In some of his disguises, he dresses as a gentleman holding an old-fashioned cane.
* ClothingDamage: Notable for how it's accomplished. After accidentally blasting himself with the black box, the now mindless Tweeg wanders off from the Hard to Find City in a ditzy daze. Next time we see him, the collar of his robe is missing, the sleeves are in tatters, and his ankles are exposed due to the damage being out in the wild has done.
* ComplimentBackfire: Eleanor sets him up to fall for this. When she accuses him of calling her a liar, he denies that, but then, she gets offended by the notion that she's ''not'' a liar.
* ConMan: Swindling and cheating are explicitly in the M.A.V.O. list of required bad deeds. He does manage to do this in a couple of episodes, although he gets his comeuppance.
* ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his recipe for making gold out of buttermilk.
* CoolCrown: In a couple of {{Imagine Spot}}s, he fantasizes about wearing a royal crown. He actually gets one when he becomes the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O. for a while.
* CranialEruption: In "Thin Ice", when he opens the door while Mrs. Maggotheart is hammering a poster to it, she accidentally bops him on the head and gives him one.
* CreepyCrossdresser: He's a MasterOfDisguise, and a few of his disguises involve him dressing as a woman.
* CripplingTheCompetition: During a Grungeball game, when his team is losing bigtime, he tricks the Grunges into eating plants that give them awful stomachaches, and in Wizardweek, the only reason his team wins one event is he makes sure the other players can't get out of bed.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: His alleged gold recipe only ever comes out with buttermilk donuts. L.B. eventually figures out that he and the Bounders could make money if they started selling the donuts and only abandon the idea when L.B. thinks that the formula has worked. But even if selling donuts occurred to Tweeg, he probably wouldn't do it. Running an honest business wouldn't score any points with M.A.V.O.
* DastardlyWhiplash: Tweeg is known to wear a black outfit and moustache in his schemes, and is an {{Expy}} of Dick Dastardly.
* {{Determinator}}: You've got to give him credit. He sure doesn't give up his dream.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: After crossing a bridge during a race, Tweeg stopped to destroy it and even waited to see how the Wooly What's-It would cross it. And he wasn't even on the lead.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He does this all the time.
* DisappearedDad: Well, sort of; Tweeg's father Elroy didn't so much "disappear" as he got divorced from (kicked out by) Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, who retained custody of their son. Tweeg knew he was still alive, but never met up with him until episode 61, "Father's Day"; they do get on very well, but, ultimately, Tweeg has too much of his mother in him and he ultimately leaves his dad in shame.
* DisguisedInDrag: Sometimes he disguises himself as a woman, including his first disguise ever in "In the Fortress of the Wizard".
* DisproportionateRetribution: He decides to go to war against the Gutangs when their ambassador says that they can't afford the new subscription rate of ''True Villainy''.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: Another RunningGag. Eleanor did it in "Tweeg's Mom" and "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups",
* DoWrongRight: He pulls this on himself, knowing getting into M.A.V.O. means successfully filling a list of bad deeds. L.B. says that since he always fails at that, maybe he could try doing right wrong!
* DramaticDrop: In Wizardweek, while trying to make a magic potion, L.B. catches him by surprise and makes him drop and break the beaker.
* DrunkWithPower: After he becomes the Supreme Oppressor, he goes so mad with power that he actually declares war on the Gutangs. This time, he goes so far that L.B. betrays him and helps Quellor get back into power.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Tweeg desperately wants to be taken seriously as a villain, but nobody gives him even the slightest credit. Even his own minions mock him. To his ''face''.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: To Tweeg, anyway; his full name is actually Jack W. Tweeg. We never do find out what the "W" stands for, so it is possible he also has an EmbarrassingMiddleName.
* EmbarrassinglyPainfulSunburn: While lying on the beach in one episode, he ignores his father's advice to put on some lotion and gets a terrible sunburn on his nose.
* EmbodimentOfVice: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him in disguise, the Crystal says the trait he embodies is greed.
* EntertaininglyWrong: When he spies on the Trio, sees that they're cooking something with buttermilk and flour, and remembers how L.B., who is a jerk and a troublemaker to him, hasn't gotten any money from him in ages, he concludes that L.B. must have sold his gold recipe to Gimmick. The Trio are just baking cookies.
* EpicFlail: He tries to use a flail in "The Crystal Book", but he accidentally breaks his mother's mirror with it and drops it on his foot. So, EpicFail of Epic Flail.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Zig-zagged. He outright says that he loves her in "Tweeg's Mom". For the rest of the series, it's questionable whether what he feels for her is genuine love, although he still wants to make her proud.
* EvilGenius: He calls himself all the time, although the genius part is questionable at best.
* EvilIsHammy: Tweeg loves bragging, ChewingTheScenery, and being the center of attention.
* EvilIsPetty: He does all kinds of petty things, such as belittling his employees, refusing to thank people who help him, and not brushing his teeth. It's established in-universe that to be a proper villain, you have to do both major and minor bad deeds.
* EvilKnockoff: In "Win One for the Twipper", he becomes one for Newton Gimmick called Winston Tweeter, wearing the exact same outfit and even having the same stutter.
* EvilLaugh: He often does this when he's happy or thinks he's being clever.
* FaintInShock: At the end of his trial in "Uncle Grubby", M.A.V.O. gives him a second chance to complete his checklist, but to make sure he does it right, they assign L.B. as his supervisor, which makes him faint.
* FakingAmnesia: After getting his memory restored by the Black Box in "The Big Escape", he pretends to still have amnesia for a little while to take advantage of Eleanor and L.B.
* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: He actually manages to cheat Grundo's people out of a lot of money with his Rainbow Falls water scheme, but the Trio trick him into giving the money back by making thinking he'll be even richer.
* ForgotToMindTheirHead: While working his Wizardweek chariot, L.B. calls out to him, causing him to bump his head under the chariot.
* FreudianExcuse: Tweeg sings a song about how his mother always abused him as a child and made him into the rotten guy he is today.
* GetOut: Tells this to the Bounders when he thinks that L.B. leaked out his gold formula to the Trio.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Sometimes, L.B. will make a suggestion and Tweeg will pretend he thought of it himself, such as giving everyone the Tweezles and selling a fake cure in "The Lemonade Stand".
* GoldFever: If there's gold to be had, he's got to have it. He blows a lot of his money on buying buttermilk and flour because he thinks he has a recipe for turning it into gold.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Once, he lifts his robe to reveal orange boxers with white spots.
* GotMeDoingIt: In "In the Fortress of the Wizard" and "The Medicine Wagon", after hearing L.B. call him "Tweek" or "Tweeze" too many times, he accidentally calls himself that.
* GrapesOfLuxury: After he is declared the new Supreme Oppressor, the first thing he orders after having Quellor locked up is for Mrs. Maggotheart to peel grapes for him to eat.
* {{Greed}}: He'll do anything if it means getting rich. In "The Crystal Book", Gimmick's new invention the Crystal Stethoscope reveals that greed is a key trait of his.
* GreedMakesYouDumb: He'll commit any act of villainy to make a quick bit of gold, but sometimes, his greed is undoing. In "The Rainbow Mine", the Trio use this against him to get back everyone's money by making him think it'll make him richer. Then, when he briefly becomes Supreme Oppressor, he commits war against the Gutangs [[SillyReasonForWar when they refuse to pay the new subscription rate for a magazine]].
* GreenAndMean: He's bright green and a villain. He gets it from his Troll mother.
* GreenEyedMonster: Tweeg's vendetta against Gimmick is solely due to the fact that Gimmick is a brilliant inventor and creates many marvelous inventions, whilst Tweeg's perpetual quest to create a formula that will turn buttermilk into gold has never succeeded.
* HairTriggerAvalanche: When he fires his cannon in the winter, the noise causes an avalanche that buries him and his tower.
* HarmlessLadyDisguise: For his first disguise in the show, he dresses as a little old lady and asks for their help. The Trio don't suspect the disguised Tweeg, though they admit that "she" is a little strange.
* HatesTheirParent: While he wants to make her proud, you can't call it affection. When he realizes his mother was in a dream he had, he calls it a nightmare.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: In "Father's Day", Tweeg actually considers giving up on villainy and committing to the Surf Grunge lifestyle he actively enjoys... but, upon seeing his father's championship winnings, he can't resist his mother's training and steals them. When his dad catches him out with them, Tweeg gives them back in shame at hurting his dad and then returns to his tower, resigning himself to villainy.
* HiddenDepths: When reunited with his father, after being given an opportunity to practice, Tweeg turns out to be a natural surfer.
* HighHopesZeroTalent: All he really wants to be is a great villain like his mother, but since his talents come from his father's side, he's not very good at villainy.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Often, it's his own fault that his schemes fail because he doesn't think things through. Once he tries to use the Black Box against Quellor, only to erase his own memories because he doesn't know how to aim it.
* {{Hypochondria}}: During the Tweezle episode, he turns red with blue spots. Okay, viable reason to think you're sick. But then he starts to think he's getting other symptoms that he never had like a fever. At the end of the episode, he and the Trio sing a song about how your attitude can affect how healthy you feel.
* IAmSong: "The Black Box", he sings "I'm Tweeg" which is basically him singing about what his name is and the proper way to say it. The next episode, he gets another called "I'm the Supreme Oppressor".
* ICantLookGesture: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge ransack his tower looking for the gold formula, he scrunches his eyes and tries to look away.
* IHaveYourWife: He kidnaps Fuzz, Gimmick's pet Fob, and leaves a threatening note saying that if the Trio don't leave the valley by sundown, they'll never see him again.
* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: When he sees the result of Gimmick PalatePropping L.B., he complains, "Why am I always pulling things out of your mouth? I'm a villain, not a dentist."
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: He's not called the world's worst shot for nothing. He's so terrible at aiming his cannon that Gimmick outright states the safest place to be when Tweeg starts shooting is right where he's aiming for. He's even taken to writing "return to Tweeg" on all his cannonballs because he loses that many of them.
* InaneBlabbering: After he has his memories erased, he can only babble at first. He's gradually able to speak coherently, but he still knows nothing until his memories are returned.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: For all his antagonistic role, Tweeg just... isn't a very good villain. Even InUniverse, his "enemies" see him as more of a nuisance than an actual threat. Episode 61 actually implies Tweeg would really be happier if he gave villainy up, but he can't think of anything else to do with himself.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", Tweeg comes to the conclusion that since snowballs are sparkly, and so are the Crystals, this means the Crystals are made of snow.
* InsistentTerminology: In "The Crystal Book", he tells his mother he's not whining. He's whimpering.
* InsultBackfire: When Bognostroclum pulls a BaitAndSwitchComment that ends with insulting him, Tweeg responds that he has no time for flattery. And during the Wizardweek parade, when the crowd boos Tweeg, he takes it to mean they love him.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Tweeg hates the fact that M.A.V.O. has been hunting him like a common villain. Because he's not common, he's a ''master'' villain!
* TheKlutz: He's a real bungler in what he does and tends to be a victim of amusing injuries.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Tweeg thinks he's a genius and brags about it, but he's not nearly as clever as he thinks. Apparently, he thinks the larvae of butterflies are called catapults.
* LadiesAndGerms: He introduces his phony rainmaking machine by saying "Illipers and Perloons, Grundonians and Nogburtniks".
* LampshadeWearing: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", after he sneaks into Gimmick's house, he puts on a lampshade and pretends to be a lamp so he won't be noticed.
* LastNameBasis: Everyone calls him Tweeg. In fact, even his own parents don't call him Jack, though they often affectionately call him Tweegie.
* LateToTheRealization: Sometimes he takes a minute to realize something. For example, in the live-action special, L.B. has to tell him multiple times while he's busy feeling sorry for himself that the Airship is landing.
* LeanAndMean: He's tall, thin, and villainous.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he tricks the Elves and the Woodsprites into fighting, since the M.A.V.O. list of bad deeds includes starting a fight between perfectly good friends. He tries it again between Gimmick and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups", but Teddy solves the disagreement quickly.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Inverted. Not only does he prefer to take after his mother, but he also goes by her last name. Grunges don't have last names, though, so Elroy took Eleanor's when they married.
* LiteralMinded: When Louie visits Tweeg's lemonade stand, he orders a lemonade "on the rocks". Tweeg shrugs and dumps some lemonade on the ground.
* LivingMuseumExhibit: The Sorcerer's minions find him without his memory and deliver him to their boss, who presents him as "The Troll-Grunge with No Brain."
* LyingFingerCross: In "Wizardweek", when Teddy wishes him good luck, he crosses his fingers behind his back while he wishes him the same.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Not only does L.B. do it to Tweeg, Tweeg also does it to Teddy, calling him such names as "Teddy Dustbin" or "Teddy Rucksack".
* ManipulativeBastard: He can be this when he wants to be. He manages to manipulate the Mudblup King into letting him go by making the king think Eleanor will marry the king, and later manipulates Quellor into letting him keep his memory in exchange for the (fake) gold formula.
* MathematiciansAnswer: When Quellor asks if he acquired the Crystals by stealing or treachery, Tweeg just gives a nervous "Yes." Quellor is pleased with this answer.
* MedicineShow: In "The Medicine Wagon", he opens one to sell his phony Tweezle remedy, even getting the Bounders to do a song and dance number like a commercial.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: It's never revealed what the W stands for.
* NeverMyFault: Whenever one of his plans doesn't work, he insists that it must be L.B.'s fault.
* NoListeningSkills: He never listens to L.B. has a helpful suggestion and just brushes off L.B.'s warning that things will go wrong.
* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, is a Troll, whilst his father, Elroy, is a Surf Grunge.
* NonPromotion: Eleanor, in a rare moment of kindness, recommends Tweeg for the new keeper of the gate. Tweeg is thrilled at first because it means he's an important member of M.A.V.O. but comes to hate it when he realizes how much work it involves.
* NoSenseOfDirection: When he and L.B. fall from the ''Eclipse'' and land in the water, he insists that they're swimming in the right direction to land. The shore is right behind them without them even knowing it.
* NosyNeighbor: He's always using his telescope to spy on Gimmick's house from up in his tower, thinking that Gimmick is up to something.
* NotQuiteDead: After the ''Eclipse'' sinks into the water, Quellor wonders if Tweeg went down with it. The next scene is a shot of him and L.B. swimming away.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Although he never succeeds at doing anything too villainous, Tweeg also has a fairly ruthless streak. He actually ''sold his own mother'' to the Mudblup King as a bride in return for a trunk full of gems[[note]]although he knew the King was in love with his mother, and she herself was willing to go along with it once Tweeg thought to bribe her[[/note]], and once abducted Gimmick's pet Fob, Fuzz, in order to blackmail Gimmick into leaving the valley.
* OldTimeyBathingSuit: He wears a blue-and-yellow-striped one in "Air and Water Races".
* OpportunisticBastard: He loves to seize any opportunity that pops up to get rich or commit an evil deed. Unfortunately, he doesn't think long-term, just focusing on the opportunity itself, so it rarely goes well.
* TheParanoiac: He's got more than enough criteria to count:
** NeverMyFault: He blame others, mostly L.B., when one of his plans goes wrong while [[GladIThoughtOfIt taking credit for L.B.'s good ideas]].
** [[JadeColoredGlasses Suspiciousness / Cynicism]]: He's very suspicious of the Trio, assumes that they're out to get him, and believes that he has to lie and cheat to get what he wants.
** {{Jerkass}}: He rarely cares about anyone but himself.
** [[{{Narcissist}} Self-Importance]]: He thinks he's a genius and that it's his destiny to be the richest and greatest villain in Grundo.
** ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his gold formula.
* PatchworkKids: He's half-Troll, half-Grunge and looks it. He has the tall, humanoid build of a Grunge but has his mother's green Troll skin. And while he follows his mother's morality, he gets his father's talents.
* PieInTheFace: When M.A.V.O. finally gets the Crystals, the monsters are so happy that they have fun throwing pies around the meeting room. One hits Tweeg.
* PlotAllergy: Complains when he gets covered in strawberry juice that strawberries give him a rash.
* PolkaDotDisease: Subverted. He wakes up one morning having turned red with blue dots all over and thinks he has this. L.B. calls the condition the Tweezles. After the Trio try to help him, they figure it out that skin only changed because he drank Rainbow Falls water.
* PowderGag: In "Double Grubby", when his cannon misfires, the ball lands on the flour bag L.B. stole and leaves him covered with flour. It makes him look like an Illiop.
* ThePrankster: He turns into one in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball". When forced to greet party guests at the door, he does so with practical jokes. Apparently, M.A.V.O.'s spell of evil even made him be a better bad guy.
* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: He wears a dark purple robe. The ambiguity of purple is fitting for a guy who [[EvilWearsBlack wants to be a villain]] but [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain never quite makes it]].
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: This sometimes happens him when he fires his cannon. Since he lives at the top of a tower, he's prone to riding his cannon backwards down his long spiral staircase.
* RemovingTheRival: One of his favorite tactics in a competition is this. During a Grungeball game, he gives some of the other team a stomachache, allowing his own team to catch up, and in Wizardweek, the only event his team won was the synchronized swimming because he sabotaged all the other teams.
* ReplacedWithReplica: In "Winter Adventure", the Bounders help him escape Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge by replacing him with a dummy.
* TheRival: He sees his relationship with Gimmick as this, though they play it straighter during sporting events when they compete against each other.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: He's green and wears purple. At one point, it's revealed that he wears orange underwear, completing the set.
* ShamedByAMob: [[spoiler:After L.B. gives his wedding vows to Buffy]], Tweeg says, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." The guests glare at him angrily.
* SharpDressedMan: Some of his disguises have him dressed in a suit and tie to look like a respectable businessman.
* SissyVillain: He's really skinny, crossdresses multiple times in the series, and has a voice that sounds like it never aged properly.
* SlipperySkid: In "King Nogburt's Castle", he runs onto his balcony, steps on one of his cannonballs, and rolls and crashes right through his railing.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He calls himself an EvilGenius, but he's not nearly as smart (or for that matter as evil) as he thinks he is. The times when he actually knows what he's doing in his schemes are few and far between.
* SmartBall: Tweeg manages to catch the smart ball several times in the series by coming up with legitimately good ideas. These include tricking the Trio into letting him ride up to the Hard to Find City in disguise, swindling them into buying phony medicine from him, manipulating Quellor into letting him keep his restored memory, and engineering his own escape from jail ''by selling out his own mother!''
* SmugSnake: A villain who thinks he's way better than he really is. He often looks smug until his plans turn sideways.
* SnakeOilSalesman: One of his favorite ways to get quick cash, either by selling dubious knickknacks imagined problems or a largely harmless "cure-all" potion that gives its drinkers spots.
* SodaCanShakeup: After stealing Grubby's root beer recipe and selling it as "Villain Up", the customers want a little more fizz. So shakes a whole barrel of it as much as he can, and it explodes, splashing everyone.
* SpeechImpediment: When dressed as a little boy selling lemonade, he uses a fake impediment to make him sound more childish, somewhere between a mild lisp and mild ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
* StaircaseTumble: He's prone to falling down his staircase. And since he lives at the top of the tower with a long, spiraling stone staircase, it's a long and painful fall.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Any time he looks like he's going to succeed doesn't last long. At one point, he becomes Supreme Oppressor, only to lose the spot by the end of the next episode.
* StickyFingers: Stealing is one of the things he has to do to join M.A.V.O. When he visits his mother and she opens her safe, he snatches a ruby. She catches him in the act but comments that he's got the right idea.
* StupidestThingIveEverHeard: He says just this about [[spoiler:L.B.'s wedding vows to Buffy]], which are really just a piece of bad poetry. The other guests give Tweeg a DeathGlare.
* SurferDude: He tries to adopt this lifestyle to bond with his father and picks up the slang quickly, although he eventually goes back to being a villain.
* TakingCandyFromABaby: This is on the checklist of bad deeds for someone who wants to join M.A.V.O. He even forces L.B. to stand in for a baby for practice. At one point, he does steal candy from baby Fobs, but Wooly was there at the time and angrily forces him to give it back.
* TallyMarksOnThePrisonWall: While locked up in "Autumn Adventure". It's parodied because he's actually marking off the minutes.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Apart from the Rainbow Falls lemonade fiasco, he hides a special plant that causes a belly ache in some hot dogs and tricks the Grunges into eating them.
* TemptingFate: In "Beware of the Mudblups", he swears he'll get the best of Gimmick one day. "May I be struck from above if I don't." He immediately gets struck by some root stew that was dumped overboard the Airship.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: In some episodes, he announces it, such as in "Tweeg Gets the Tweezles" when he says he feels a song coming on.
* ThatsAnOrder: When he forces L.B. to scrape the slime off the bottom of the ''Eclipse'', he says that he's ordering and not asking him to do it.
* ThisMeansWar: During his brief reign as the Supreme Oppressor, he says this to the Gutang Ambassador.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Despite his many failures, occasionally, he manages to actually do something nasty that works. In "Teddy and the Mudblups", he sells out his own mother to the Mudblup King, which is a triple whammy for his checklist of bad deeds.
* TrappedTheWrongTarget: When he finds out that there's a reward for capturing Teddy, he tries to find him with a net. He hears someone coming and catches L.B. by mistake.
* TheUnFavourite: He's actually an only child, and he still manages to be this in his mother's eyes.
* UngratefulBastard: One episode had Tweeg believing he had some horrible disease. The Trio, at L.B.'s request, came to the tower to help and offered folk remedies. Finally, Gimmick figured out that Tweeg had been drinking water from Rainbow Falls. Rather than be thankful his "disease" is just a temporary discoloration, Tweeg throws a fit, demanding Gimmick and company leave his tower and accusing them of using this as an opportunity to torture him and learn his secrets.
* VillainousMotherSonDuo: With his mother Eleanor, whenever they manage to get on the same page. She will not miss a chance to berate and belittle him, but Eleanor is quite supportive of her son's villainous career and will express pride when he manages to pull off a dastardly plan (one example being when he sold her to the Mudblup King for his own freedom and a truck of jewels).
* WalkingDisasterArea: He's such a bungler that you can count episodes where he doesn't cause disaster on one hand.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Part of the reason Tweeg is driven to become a great villain is to make his mother proud. Even little things like hearing her call him "son" fill him with joy.
* WhosLaughingNow: When he briefly becomes the new Supreme Oppressor, he basks in it by getting back at others, throwing Quellor in the dungeon and forcing Mrs. Maggotheart to feed him GrapesOfLuxury.
* WingdingEyes: After he has his memory erased, he has spirals or circles around his pupils.
* WordSchmord: In "The Black Box", Tweeg says "Screwdriver Schmewdriver" because what L.B. stole is more important than the tool he needed before.
* XanatosSpeedChess: When he quickly changes their cover from portrait painters to housepainters to infiltrate the castle, he explains to L.B. that part of being a good villain is adjusting your plans.
* YoureInsane: When M.A.V.O. is short on funds and Mrs. Maggotheart suggests selling M.A.V.O.'s gold and jewels, then-Supreme Oppressor Tweeg calls her a nut.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:L.B.]]
!!L.B.
->'''Voiced by:''' Tony Pope (books and special), Robert Bockstael (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "The Treasure of Grundo"
The long-suffering minion to Tweeg, L.B. (Lead Bounder) is a sarcastic little creature who loves nothing more than to snipe at Tweeg every chance he gets.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Fuzz acts like a DefiantCaptive by {{troll}}ing Tweeg, L.B. finds it hilarious.
* AdaptationDyeJob: The tuft of hair around his horn is yellow in the books, brown in the live-action special, and pink in the cartoon.
* AffablyEvil: L.B.'s a villain but not really a bad guy. Ironically, the only one he's really mean to is his boss. At least he and Teddy manage to get along late in the series.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: In "The Hard to Find City", Tweeg responds to L.B.'s smart remark by stepping on his foot.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: L.B. ransacks Gimmick's house so he can steal the Crystals for Tweeg.
* AndThenISaid: In "The Crystal Book", after a cut to a scene of them on route, he tells Eleanor, "And that was when all my problems in nursery school first started."
* ArmlessBiped: All Bounders have no arms.
* AsideGlance: He occasionally looks or speaks in the direction of the viewer, making him the only character to break the fourth wall.
* BeachKiss: In "On the Beaches", [[spoiler:after L.B. proposes to Buffy, they kiss and are struck by a wave, which makes their kiss seem more powerful]].
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason why he manages to become a FriendlyEnemy to Teddy is because Teddy treated him a lot nicer than any villain ever did. Teddy even saved his life.
* BeleagueredAssistant: L.B. is constantly put upon, cleaning house, pulling the wagon, and basically doing whatever his boss tells him to. Rarely does Tweeg show any appreciation for what he does, let alone even pay him. L.B. grumbles but never seems to quit.
* BenevolentBoss: L.B. during his brief run as the head of M.A.V.O., his first (and only) major order is to hold a massive party and invite all members across Grundo to attend. He is also this to the gang of Bounders, even going using his wedding present to give them the backpay they're owed from Tweeg when he could have easily kept it.
* BerserkButton: L.B. constantly puts up with getting insulted and abused by Tweeg, but in "Anything in the Soup", when Tweeg insult L.B.'s girlfriend, that is going too far.
* BizarreAlienLimbs: Since Bounders have no hands, they often use their horns as hooks to carry things.
* BlowingARaspberry: Does this to Eleanor in "Tweeg's Mom" after she calls him an overgrown tomato.
* BouncingBattler: Being a Bounder, he's known to attack this way. In the first episode, he has his team attack Teddy and Grubby this way.
* CallousnessTowardsEmergency: In "The Great Grundo Ground Race", when he sees Tweeg stuck in a quicksand pit, instead of trying to help, he and his gang decide to stand, watch, and sing a barbershop song about how he's sinking.
* CharacterDevelopment: One of the few villains who receive it. At the start, he shows no love for the good guys, but by the end of the series, he has become a bit of a FriendlyEnemy to Teddy.
* ComedicSociopathy: Whenever Tweeg falls, gets hit by something, or any other funny injury, L.B. can only stand there and laugh madly.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Even though L.B.'s funny remarks are usually just him being a smartass to his boss, there are times when he misses the point of what Tweeg says. Sometimes, he misses the point ''because'' he's being a smartass:
-->'''Tweeg:''' There must be something I can do wrong! What am I doing right?\\
'''L.B.:''' You ain't doing nothing right.\\
'''Tweeg:''' No, no, L.B.! I want to [[DoWrongRight do something wrong right]]!\\
'''L.B.:''' How about if you did something right wrong?
* ComplimentBackfire: In "The Faded Fobs", when Tweeg calls him a good Bounder for obeying his orders, L.B. claims there's no such thing as a ''good'' Bounder.
* DangerThinIce: In "Teddy's Quest", while trying to make his way through the snow, he has to cross a frozen, and the ice breaks. He would have died if Teddy wasn't around to save him.
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially when dealing with Tweeg.
* DestinationDefenestration: After Quellor returns, Black Box in hand, to reclaim his position of power, he kicks L.B. out the window.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: In "Wizardland", Eleanor answers her door and slams it into him.
* DragonAscendant: Accidentally managed to become the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O., making him (temporarily) Tweeg's boss. Tweeg handled it with about as much grace as you'd expect from him.
* DreamWalker: In "King Nogburt's Castle", L.B. appears to physically jump into Tweeg's dream (presented as a thought bubble) to wake him up.
* DudeWheresMyReward: L.B. often complains about how Tweeg doesn't pay him for months at a time. Then, after he goes to work for Quellor, he complains that he hasn't received a reward for helping Quellor get his power back. Quellor says the reward is the privilege of working for him.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: For all the work he does for Tweeg, the latter rarely shows any appreciation for it, just treating him like a servant whose purpose is for him to kick around.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Unlike his boss, he seems to genuinely love his mother when she shows up.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The focus of a song as L.B. could not for the life of him figure out why the Trio were willing to take care of a sick Tweeg. He also didn't understand why Teddy saved him from drowning in a frozen pond either. Subverted near the end after L.B. pays Teddy back, L.B. comments to himself that it felt nice doing a good deed.
* EvilCannotStandCuteness: L.B. hates Fobs because they're so nice, cute, and helpful.
* EyepatchOfPower: When they join the M.A.V.O. pirates on the ''Eclipse'', L.B. wears one to look DressedToPlunder.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When he breaks through the river ice in the middle of winter and finds himself unable to escape, he prepares to accept his fate in the most dignified way he can.
* FirstNameBasis: By the last major story arc, he's started calling Teddy by his first name, cementing their FriendlyEnemy relationship.
* FriendlyEnemy: He works for Tweeg, but he doesn't really consider Gimmick or the others to be his actual enemies; [[PunchClockVillain he's simply doing his job]]. Late in the series, it's implied that he and Teddy could actually be friends if L.B. wasn't working for a villain.
* TheGadfly: Mostly towards Tweeg. He makes wisecracks at his expense because he loves to get a rise out of him.
* GettingTheBoot: After he gets caught trying to steal the Black Box in "Octopede Sailors", he's thrown out the M.A.V.O. Headquarters door and lands in the mud.
* GooGooGetup: In "Sign of a Friend", when Tweeg needs to practice taking candy from a baby, he forces L.B. to put on a bonnet and sit in a pram.
* HandyFeet: Bounders ''can'' do this, but they rarely do because it's hard for them to stand on one foot. Mostly, they use their mouths or horns to hold things.
* HarmlessFreezing: After falling in frozen water and sitting in there for a few minutes waiting to drown, Teddy rescues him and he's fine after sitting by a fire for a while.
* HumanDoorstop: Forced to be a stepping stool in "Tweeg's Mom" when Eleanor gets off the wagon.
* HumanSnowman: After the snow falls from a tree on top of him, the other Bounders call him the Abominable Snowbounder.
* TheImp: Subverted. Bounders are small, troublesome villains and are generally seen as a nuisance by both the heroes and their superiors. But L.B. is a lot more competent than his boss and even manages to become Supreme Oppressor for a time.
* InsultBackfire: After Quellor makes him Tweeg's supervisor, Tweeg says, "You couldn't supervise slime!" L.B. turns it around by saying, "That's what I keep telling them, but they gave me the job anyway."
* IWarnedYou: Tweeg never seems to listen to L.B.'s warnings that something is going to go wrong.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Occasionally, when Tweeg is actually listening to L.B. for a change, he'll admit that L.B., for all of his insults and complaints, has a point. For example, when Tweeg gets a load of gold in "Through Tweeg's Fingers", L.B. points out he may not get a chance to show it to Quellor once Eleanor sees the gold. Tweeg agrees and decides to skip his mother's house and go straight to Quellor.
* LadiesAndGerms: He says "Ladies and gentlemonsters" in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball".
* TheLeader: Of the Bounders. His initials stand for "Lead Bounder".
* LimaSyndrome: After Tweeg kidnaps Fuzz and locks him in a cage, he comes to like the little guy. This is mainly because Fuzz enjoys trolling Tweeg as much as L.B., but considering L.B.'s general opinion of Fobs, it says a lot.
* LiteralMinded: In "Double Grubby", L.B. thinks a cat burglar means someone who steals cats.
* LoveAtFirstSight: He once claimed that he fell for Buffy from the moment he laid eyes on her.
* MakesUsEven: During his brief reign as Supreme Oppressor, M.A.V.O. captures him. He orders them to let him go to pay him back for saving his life, making them even.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Frequently gets Tweeg's name wrong on purpose, calling him things like Twizzle or [[HaveAGayOldTime Twink]], to annoy and irritate him. This often prompts Tweeg to angrily spell his name out loud. It occasionally extends to other characters too. He once called Teddy Ruxpin "Teddy Fishfin", Gimmick "Limerick", and Quellor "Queelor". Even King Nogburt himself is not immune, as he's called him "King Nogburl/Nogburn/Nosebleed".
* MisspellingOutLoud: In "The Third Crystal", when Tweeg once again clarifies that his name is spelled T-W-E-E-G, L.B. retorts that "It'll be M-U-D-D mud."
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: In "The Hard to Find City", after getting sick of Tweeg going mad with power, he makes a deal with Quellor: he'll help him get back into power if he can become his "right-hand Bounder". Quellor agrees. But to Quellor, that job amounts to being a maid for all of M.A.V.O. Headquarters. L.B. decides that Quellor treats him worse than Tweeg ever did, so he decides to get his own boss and his old job back.
* MusicalNumberAnnoyance: He sometimes gets annoyed when Tweeg bursts into song. In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains", when Tweeg feels a song coming on, L.B. wishes he had hands so he could cover his ears.
* MyBelovedSmother: His mother means well but is way too controlling when it comes to [[spoiler:planning his wedding to Buffy]].
* MyNewGiftIsLame: Just about everyone brings a gift to [[spoiler:his and Buffy's wedding]], but a lot of it looks like unwanted junk to him.
* NobleDemon: He may be on the villains' side, but he's got a sense of honor. During his M.A.V.O. reign, after he remembers how Teddy saved him from drowning, he declares that he owes him, so he orders the monsters to let him go.
* NotInMyContract: In "Sign of a Friend", when forced to help Tweeg practice taking candy from a baby, L.B. complains that playing babies isn't in his contract.
* NotSoFinalConfession: When he thinks he's going to down in icy water, he declares "Buffy, I...I love you! I never told you, and I'm sorry!" She's not actually there to hear it, but the sentiment is there. He's just trying to get his regrets off his chest while he's still alive.
* NumberTwo: Among the Bounders, he's Tweeg's second in command.
* OfficialCouple: Buffy is his girlfriend [[spoiler:and eventual wife]].
* OnlySaneMan: To Tweeg's crew. Tweeg is an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, and the other Bounders are not very bright.
* PersonalMook: To Tweeg. The Bounders work for him, but L.B.'s his right-hand Bounder.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's tiny compared to Tweeg, but he can pull Tweeg's wagon with Tweeg in it.
* PrehensileTail: Because L.B. doesn't have hands, he sometimes uses his stubby tail as a hand, although he prefers to use his mouth.
* PunchClockVillain: L.B. isn't really evil. For the most part he just wants to be entertained and have fun, he just has a moral bar that's lower than most people.
* PungeonMaster: He loves making puns, usually to mock Tweeg.
* RefuseToRescueTheDisliked: Downplayed. He doesn't exactly refuse, but he's reluctant to rescue Tweeg when he falls into a pit of quicksand. He comes around when Tweeg even offers to finally pay him, but it's all for nothing when Quellor's thugs come along and pull him out.
* RememberedTooLate: In "Wizardweek", when Tweeg tries to launch himself from a catapult, he says that this time, he's accounted for both height and wind direction. "What else is there?" L.B. thinks he forgot a factor and only remembers what it is after Tweeg is launched: distance!
* RousingSpeech: Double-subverted. When he acts as a coach to the Mudblup Mashers Grungeball team, the "pep talk" he gives is anything but encouraging. But for some reason, it does give them the confidence to go out and win. As L.B. says, Mudblups are really stupid.
* RunningOnTheSpot: Near the end of "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when Quellor threatens to throw him in the dungeon for usurping his position, he does this while trying to run away, giving Quellor enough time to kick him out the window.
* SelfDeprecation: He admits to himself that he can't be all that smart if he willingly works for someone like Tweeg.
* ShoutOut: He makes several of them.
** When a cannon misfire causes Tweeg to get splattered with flour, L.B. says, "Now, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That%27s_Entertainment! that's entertainment]]."
** While he and Tweeg are M.A.V.O. prisoners and Tweeg is forced to load the ''Eclipse'' with cargo, L.B. says to [[Theatre/ShowBoat "tote these bales onto that barge."]]
** When he decides to FaceDeathWithDignity while sinking into a frozen lake, he looks back on his life and says [[Creator/FrankSinatra "I did it my way".]]
* SignatureLaugh: A wheezing laugh, often heard when Tweeg suffers from amusing misfortune.
* SillyLoveSongs: At the M.A.V.O. costume ball, he sings one for his girlfriend called "Your Rotten Heart, Your Ugly Face". To a villain, it's flattery, but to everyone else, the things he compares her to in the song make it seem like a silly way to be romantic.
* SlaveToPR: After he lets Teddy go from M.A.V.O., he makes it clear that he means "Don't mention it" literally because he has a reputation to uphold.
* StatusQuoIsGod: No matter what happens in the series, even if they're separated for a few episodes, he always manages to go back to working for Tweeg.
* TuftOfHeadFur: Some Bounders have a head full of hair, but L.B. just has a tuft of pink hair around the base of his horn.
* UseYourHead: Tweeg tells him to do this to help him move a treasure chest in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains". Just before L.B. makes contact, the treasure disappears, and he sends Tweeg flying backwards instead.
* VillainousValor: Although L.B's status as "evil" is arguable, he does have a fairly strong code of honor. He made sure to repay Teddy for saving his life when he got the chance, even if the decision was an unpopular one.
* WaddlingHead: Well, hopping head, but same thing. A Bounder is just a large head with a pair of legs and a tail sticking out the back.
* WavingSignsAround: In "Teddy's Quest", he and the Bounders are so fed up with Tweeg putting off their paychecks for so long that they start a protest at the tower, waving signs, demanding that he finally pay them.
* WhosLaughingNow: After being put upon and abused for so long, he pulls this on Tweeg twice in the series. When Quellor demands that Tweeg complete the M.A.V.O. checklist of bad deeds by the next initiation day, L.B. is made his supervisor to make sure he does it. Now Tweeg has to do what he says, and L.B. takes full advantage of it. Then when L.B. becomes Supreme Oppressor, he makes Tweeg do humiliating tasks like delivering party invitations.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: L.B. is terrified of ''Fobs'. You know, those cute little rainbow-hued fluffy guys? That's like being afraid of a declawed kitten.
* WinOneForTheGipper: In the episode appropriately titled "Win One for the Twipper", he gives a villainous version to the Mudblup Mashers. It gives them confidence, but it doesn't work because the other team is just too good for them. The Mashers only catch up when Tweeg sabotages the competition.
* YouDontWantToCatchThis: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge grab Tweeg and try to take him back to Quellor, L.B. saves him by telling them that Tweeg has a fatal, contagious disease called Woofinpoof disease. This scares them away.

!!M.A.V.O.
[[folder:In General]]
!!In General
The Monsters and Villains Organization. Made up of the most ruthless and evil villains in Grundo, M.A.V.O.'s goal is to gather the Crystals and use their power to spread evil and darkness across Grundo. Tweeg's lifelong dream is to join M.A.V.O., but to do that, he must do a truly nasty deed.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: M.A.V.O. is mentioned in the books and is on the map of Grundo, but it only exists to give Tweeg a motive for wanting to be a villain. Here, it not only appears, but gets a whole cast of characters.
* AllTrollsAreDifferent: Many members are trolls, but they don't seem to follow any pattern other than being ugly and vaguely humanoid. They come in all different shapes, colors, and sizes.
* AnimalMotifs: The bull is prominently featured in their architecture. Bulls are known for being strong and fierce.
* AscendedExtra: From a mere mention in the books to being a full-blown cast of characters in the TV series.
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: Their goal is to spread darkness and evil across the land, and they worry about being free from "the threat of goodness".
* CanonForeigner: All members of M.A.V.O. were invented for the cartoon except Tweeg's mother, who is mentioned in passing in the books.
* CardCarryingVillain: Literally. M.A.V.O. membership comes with a card, though only Ms. Maggotheart presents hers (usually when shaking down another member for their late dues).
* CastOfSnowflakes: The nameless background M.A.V.O. members all have unique designs that get used over and over to fill a crowd, so almost every member is at least a RecurringExtra.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Tweeg is an IneffectualSympatheticVillain who wants to be rich and powerful. M.A.V.O. is introduced in the second arc as a legitimately dangerous evil organization whose goal is to spread a HatePlague across Grundo.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: They have all kinds of punishments for people who disappoint or anger the Supreme Oppressor, but one of the worst is being forced to spend a day locked in a room with ''the M.A.V.O. dues collector!''
* EvilMinions: Generally, any member who doesn't normally fight, such as Bognostroclum, Mrs. Maggotheart, or the Understander of Legends.
* ForTheEvulz: They do things just because it's evil. However, it gets a bit more development than in most series. In the world of this show, being evil is treated as a lifestyle and a culture, and it's a case of BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad.
* FunWithAcronyms: M.A.V.O. stands for the '''M'''onsters '''a'''nd '''V'''illains '''O'''rganization.
* GottaCatchThemAll: M.A.V.O. must gather all the Crystals to spread their spell of darkness. Over the course of a couple of episodes, they get scattered as they're stolen and passed between villains who each decide to hoard one for themselves, forcing Tweeg to gather them again.
* HatePlague: The primary goal of M.A.V.O. is to spread a stormy darkness over Grundo that causes plants to start withering and bring out the worst in the population of the land. [[spoiler:They succeed, at least for a while.]]
* ItMustBeMine: They must have the Crystals to spread their spell of darkness across Grundo and make them all-powerful.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A shot of the Headquarters is often accompanied by a distinctive dark and unsettling piece.
* KangarooCourt: One of the plots of "Uncle Grubby" was Tweeg being taken to M.A.V.O. court to answer for his failures. A rule prohibited the defendant (Tweeg) from speaking.
* LoyalToThePosition: They are compelled to obey whoever happens to be the Supreme Oppressor because the Supreme Oppressor has the memory-erasing Black Box.
* {{Mooks}}: Any member of M.A.V.O. who's not named is treated as one, although none of them are killed. If you pay attention, there are several recurring individual mooks.
* {{Mordor}}: The patch of mountains where M.A.V.O. HQ is situated is usually dark and cloudy, surrounded by desolate-looking crags and bluffs.
* MysteriousPast: Where M.A.V.O. came from and how they were established is never revealed, and the only members whose backstories are revealed are Eleanor and Drudge.
* NebulousEvilOrganization: Their agenda is to spread evil and darkness across Grundo. It's called the Monsters and Villains Organization for a reason.
* RecurringExtra: Several nameless members of M.A.V.O. have very distinct designs and are reused whenever random monsters are needed to do something or a crowd needs to be filled.
* StandardEvilEmpireHierarchy: The main members of M.A.V.O. fill several of the standard roles.
** TheEmperor: Quellor, the Supreme Oppressor.
** The Right Hand: The Understander of Legends, Quellor's librarian and bookkeeper.
** The Guard: Ickly Bognostroclum, the M.A.V.O. gatekeeper.
** The Security Officer: Mrs. Maggotheart, the M.A.V.O. "collector of dues" who makes sure the other members complete their list of bad deeds.
** The Oddball: Sludge, Drudge and Trudge, as well as Tweeg whenever he manages to become a member.
* VilerNewVillain: Throughout the first arc, Tweeg and L.B. establish themselves as an evil comic duo. M.A.V.O. is then introduced as a truly serious threat where even the idiots are something to fear, and they want to spread a HatePlague across Grundo.
* VillainSong: M.A.V.O. has its own in-universe official anthem about how they're villains, which they often sing at meetings.
* VillainsOutShopping: Like most people, they like to take a break from their usual activities and have fun. In one episode, they have a costume party with music and dancing.

[[folder:Quellor]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Les Lye
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg's Mom"
The feared overlord of M.A.V.O., Quellor is the closest thing the series has to an overarching bad guy. He has a nasty habit of erasing the memory of those who displease him and selling them off to the Ying Zoo.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His sword can slice right through solid wood.
* AngryCollarGrab: He picks up Tweeg by the collar and throws him across the room to convince him to hand over his gold formula.
* BadBoss: An interesting example. While he has all the earmarks of this, he IS the leader of an ObviouslyEvil NebulousEvilOrganisation, and this is actually expected of him in the group's bylaws.
* BigBad: He's the ''real'' antagonist behind the entire course of the show. His ambition to collect all of the crystals and generally cause mayhem is what drives most of the show's conflict.
* BigBadEnsemble: There are several independent factions of villains in the series, so he's part of one, along with Tweeg, the Sorcerer, the Mudblup King, and the Gutangs.
* BigShutUp: He prefers the word "Silence!", which he'll yell to shut up those beneath him.
* BigWhat: He tends to yell "What?!" when he hears something shocking, such as after he learns that a Crystal was stolen from an Illiop in "Tweeg's Mom".
* BillBillJunkBill: In "The Ying Zoo", he sorts through his mail, saying "Death threats, eviction notices, catastrophe predictions...how come I never get anything interesting?"
* BreakoutVillain: Around mid-series, he replaces Tweeg as the main villain. Most fans agree that he makes a better BigBad than the latter.
* BrightIsNotGood: His outfit is partly bright gold, but he's a villain.
* BuriedAlive: In "Musical Oppressors", when he corners Teddy in a cave, he accidentally causes a rockslide that briefly buries him, though he's fine when he climbs out of it.
* CanonForeigner: Along with the other members of M.A.V.O., Quellor was created just for the animated series.
* CirclingBirdies: In "Teddy's Quest", after getting knocked out by Trudge's club, he lays on the ground unconscious, stars swirling over his head.
* CoolChair: As the Supreme Oppressor, he gets an ornate stone throne at the top of a flight of stairs where he can look down on everyone.
* ConvenientlyCellmates: Following a coup at M.A.V.O., the deposed Quellor soon finds himself in one of his own prison cells. An episode later finds him joined by Teddy of all people, and the two even get to sing a duet about how little either of them likes being jailed (this does not lead to bonding between the two).
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes. When Tweeg promises Quellor that he won't fail him, right before klutzing out, Quellor says, "That would be a nice change."
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Surprisingly, when he threatens to erase Tweeg's memory, if Tweeg did not reveal him the secret gold-making formula. Tweeg rather logically pointed out, that if Quellor erased his memory, he would erase the formula, too.
* DismissingACompliment: In one episode, after getting tired of Bognostroclum's many creative honorifics titles for him, he tells him to knock off the cheap flattery.
* DuetOfDifferences: When he and Teddy are in the same boat, they sing the duet "All Locked Up" about how they want to get out of jail, but for opposite reasons: [[TheHero Teddy]] has a desire to do good for everyone, while [[BigBad Quellor]] wants out so he can bring evil.
* EnragedByIdiocy: He gets furious with Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge whenever they say or do anything stupid.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's the most treacherous and feared villain in Grundo, and it's his goal to spread evil throughout the land, but he's also proud of the business relationship that M.A.V.O. has with the Gutangs, and when Tweeg declares war against the Gutangs for petty reasons, he's disgusted. Quellor may be the Supreme Oppressor, but he earned it by [[DoWrongRight doing wrong right]].
* EvilIsHammy: Quellor talks as big as he looks.
* EvilLaugh: Unlike Tweeg, who's just a wannabe, his deep evil laugh sounds really frightening.
* EvilOverlord: As the Supreme Oppressor of the Monsters and Villains Organization of Grundo, you know he's got this going on.
* EvilSoundsDeep: He has by far one of the deepest voices of any character in the series.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: Not only is his voice deep, it's raspy too, and he's the BigBad.
* FantasticHonorifics: Bognostroclum loves coming up with creative evil honorifics for him like "Your Gruesomeness", "Your Vileness", "Your Wickedness", "Your Nastiness", etc.
* FlatYes: Delivers one to the Sorcerer in "The Big Escape" when the Sorcerer asks if Quellor expects him to hand over his star attraction Tweeg.
* GeniusBruiser: He's large, strong, and physically intimidating but also a very competent leader.
* GetOut: Twice in the series--once where he discovers his henchmen lied to him about killing Tweeg, and once after hearing them ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with his orders--he gives them a furious "Out! Out! OUT!"
* AGlassInTheHand: In "The Big Escape", he crushes a goblet in his fingers.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Near the end of "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball" when he approaches L.B. to reclaim his title of Supreme Oppressor, his eyes turn a glowing yellow to show L.B. how screwed he is.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Believe it or not, Teddy and Quellor sing a duet together when they're both trapped in M.A.V.O.'s prison. They manage not to be overtly antagonistic towards each other, though Quellor's lines lamenting not having the freedom to be an EvilOverlord do creep Teddy out.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Wears a gold hood, cape, and belt to symbolize he's the leader of M.A.V.O.
* HairTriggerTemper: Do the slightest thing to annoy him and he'll go into a rage.
* HappinessIsMandatory: According to Bognostroclum, there's actually a rule in the M.A.V.O. handbook that the Supreme Oppressor must have at least fifteen minutes of fun per day.
* HarmlessElectrocution: In "The Big Escape", he gets so overloaded with electricity that you can see his skeleton. He's fine afterwards.
* HeroVsVillainDuet: Teddy and Quellor sing a duet called "All Locked Up" while they're both imprisoned in M.A.V.O.'s Dungeon, with Teddy lamenting that while locked up, he's unable to help his friends, cheer people up, or explore, whereas Quellor is angry he can't spread darkness, kick a [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Fob]] and make it yelp, or be cruel to his grandmother. Funnily enough, while they do react to each other's verses, they manage to keep the harmony through the whole song and don't break down into any sort of insults.
* HiddenDepths: "The Hard to Find City" reveals that he can fly a plane.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After he briefly gives himself PsychoElectro powers, he thinks it's the perfect weapon. He never realized until it was too late that once the generator shorts out, the only one who'll get electrocuted is him.
* HornedHumanoid: He has two horns and looks like a tall humanoid.
* IControlMyMinionsThrough: He's an example of both Fear and Power. As the Supreme Oppressor, he is the leader of M.A.V.O. and holds the Black Box, a magical device that can erase your memory.
* IDontPayYouToThink: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", when they're trying to replicate Tweeg's gold formula, and Sludge has his doubts about the recipe, Quellor says, "I do not require you to think."
* ImprovisedWeapon: When he follows Teddy into a cave in "Musical Oppressors", he rips a stalactite out of the ceiling and uses it as a club.
* InTheHood: He always wears his hood and mask, so all we see of his face are his white eyes.
* IWantSong: "All Locked Up", a duet he shares with Teddy of all characters, is about how they both want to get out of prison, though for different reasons.
* KnightOfCerebus: Decidedly more competent than many of the other villains, things tended to get fairly serious when Quellor took part in the plot.
* LargeAndInCharge: Is easily the biggest member of M.A.V.O., though this is not the only reason he's in charge.
* LaserGuidedKarma: On his way to attack a supposedly captive and helpless Teddy, Quellor gets to be on the receiving end of his own newly acquired ShockAndAwe powers when Teddy's cage barely misses him but does nail Trudge, who is carrying Quellor's power source, severely damaging it. The resulting XRaySparks experience is poetic justice given he was probably planning to zap Teddy if he'd gotten to him.
* LetsSeeYouDoBetter: In "Leekee Lake", when an underling says he's hardly the Supreme Oppressor after he loses the Black Box, Quellor threateningly asks if he thinks he could do a better job.
* LiteralAssKicking: Kicks Drudge down a hill in frustration in "Up for Air". He also kicks L.B. out a window when he reclaims his power in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball".
* LookBehindYou: He tries to pull this on Trudge when his henchmen betray him. He didn't count on it causing a PlankGag.
* LostMyAppetite: In "The Great Grundo Ground Race", after he complains that his breakfast is moving and Trudge deals with it by smashing it with his club to, Quellor says this.
* MagicEnhancement: After all the Crystals are in the great ring and M.A.V.O.'s HatePlague spreads across Grundo, Quellor is even stronger than usual.
* MasterSwordsman: He handles his sword with great expertise, although we only see it used on non-living objects.
* MistakenForAnImposter: In "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when he returns to the meeting hall after Teddy's escape, L.B. thinks he's someone in a Quellor costume for a party and even awards him first place for the funniest costume.
* OhCrap: When he sees the power pack for his PsychoElectro abilities begin to short out, Quellor immediately tries to escape his harness, but has no luck. The last instant before the power surge hits is a closeup of Quellor's horrified face as he realizes what's about to happen, enhanced by the fact that his normally featureless eyes have been given small pupils to emphasize his feelings. You almost feel sorry for him.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Zig-zagged. Before he meets Teddy, he's never seen outside of M.A.V.O. Headquarters. He'd prefer to send his henchmen to do things for himself while he stays at the Headquarters, but he's not afraid to lead the charge himself. He personally oversees the maiden voyage of the ''Eclipse'', the search for the Black Box, and the expedition to Ying.
* OrderedApology: After Sludge calls Trudge fat, Quellor orders him to say he's sorry.
* PetTheDog: He shows a surprising amount of affection toward his "pets", especially a unique gray one named Dweezil. He also sometimes thanks his underlings when they actually do something useful.
* PsychoElectro: Quellor attempts to gain this for an episode or two via a convoluted set of wires and a portable electricity generator. It doesn't end well.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His robe is dark purple, and he's the most powerful villain in Grundo.
* RibbonCuttingCeremony: The champagne bottle variant. When the M.A.V.O. airship is ready to launch, he smashes a bottle on it and christens it the ''Eclipse''.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: He can communicate with his pets.
* SpitTake: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", when he sees that Tweeg is still alive, he spits out his drink. It hits the Understander.
* SuperStrength: He's always been strong enough to lift and toss his underlings around, but when M.A.V.O.'s evil spell spreads through Grundo, he becomes so strong that he can rip a large stalactite out of a cave ceiling.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Most of his minions are either just plain stupid or annoying. He feels frustrated. He wonders what he did to deserve them.
* TapOnTheHead: In "Teddy's Quest", when he takes on all three of his henchmen, he gets knocked on the head by Trudge's club, making him pass out and wake up in a cell unharmed.
* TooDesperateToBePicky: While Tweeg and L.B. are M.A.V.O. prisoners, he's forced to give them another chance in "Anything in the Soup" because they're the only ones who are familiar with Teddy.
* VerbThis: When he catches L.B. trying to make off with the Black Box, L.B. feebly says he was taking out to be dry-cleaned. "I'll dry-clean you!"
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: For a basically charming series (for the most part), Quellor does give an ominous vibe.
* VillainNoLongerIdle: After he encounters Teddy face to face for the first time, he becomes a lot more proactive in M.A.V.O.'s activity. This is a turning point in the series when things start to get darker and more dangerous.
* VillainRespect: He praises Gimmick's inventiveness when his stolen plans allow M.A.V.O. to build their own airship.
* VillainSong: In his part of "All Locked Up", he sings about how he'd love to do evil as much as Teddy would do good.
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: When L.B. finds himself stuck working as his maid, Quellor says that L.B. should consider the privilege of working for him to be reward enough.
* WolverineClaws: He dons some fake long claws when he attempts to go PsychoElectro, with shocks generated from their tips.
* XRaySparks: His when his electrical power system shorts out and he gets electrocuted, he looks like a skeleton in a silhouette. This is actually the closest thing we get to seeing what he looks like under his clothes.
* YellowPurpleContrast: He wears a yellow hood, cape, and belt over a purple cloak.

[[folder:Eleanor Tweeg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Abby Hagyard
->'''First appearance:''' "Grubby's Romance"
Tweeg's overbearing mother, a troll who sees him as a disappointment. Tweeg is always trying to make her proud by becoming a member of M.A.V.O.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: She has one in the form of the Mudblup King. He's in love with her but she can't stand being close to a walking, talking pile of mud.
* AbusiveParents: Of the emotional variety to both her son and her ex-husband. Apparently, the first time she laid eyes on him was two or three weeks after he was born, and since then, all she's done for him is berate him.
* AltoVillainess: She has a deep, rough voice for a female character, though she rarely sings.
* ArrangedMarriage: On the receiving end, courtesy of her son selling her to the Mudblup King.
* AwfulWeddedLife: There was no love between her and Elroy. Their relationship consisted of her always putting him down and hating him for being such a NiceGuy. They only got married because she was a GoldDigger and he was a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter.
* BillBillJunkBill: In "The Ying Zoo", she sorts through her mail, saying "Blackmail demands, extortion notices, death threats...always the same junk mail!"
* BlatantLies: When she produces the Crystal that she kept for herself, she tells Tweeg, "It must have got jammed behind the cheap upholstery in that wagon of yours."
* CaneFu: She walks with a wooden cane that she sometimes uses as a weapon.
* ComplimentBackfire: After Mrs. Maggotheart calls her "too kind" after she congratulates her on becoming the new ''Eclipse'' commander, Eleanor says she'll have to watch that.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: During Wizardweek, when it's her turn in the relay obstacle course, she tries to cheat by running on the ground instead of using the ropes. It doesn't work because you need the ropes to get over the water.
* DisappointedInYou: She sends a letter expressing her disappointment in him.
* DomesticAbuse: She verbally abused both her husband and her son all the time.
* EvilOldFolks: She looks like an old, gray woman and is evil through and through.
* EvilSmellsBad: Her perfume of choice is "Essence of Garlic".
* FateWorseThanDeath: When the Mudblup King wants to make her his queen, she says she'd rather rot than be married to him.
* TheGhost: In the original book and tape series, she's mentioned but never appears. She becomes a full-blown character in the animated series.
* GoldDigger: When she hears that Tweeg can make gold, she suddenly shows uncharacteristic concern for his well-being, and it's implied that she only married Elroy for his surfing winnings.
* {{Greed}}: She's both tight with money and willing to steal what she thinks are valuable crystals from her son.
* GreenAndMean: She's a mean, green troll. Trolls in the Teddy Ruxpin universe come in many colors, but she's an especially mean one.
* HairTriggerTemper: She goes into a rage over all kinds of things, but especially anything to do with Tweeg or the Mudblup king.
* HarmlessElectrocution: In "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", Tweeg's joy buzzer is so powerful that it overloads her with electricity and leaves her hair standing on end, but she's okay afterwards.
* HateSink: Eleanor is notably both the only AbusiveParent and domestic abuser in the series, despite every bit of it being played for laughs. It's downright cathartic when Tweeg turns the tables on her for his own profit.
* InterspeciesRomance: Well, interspecies marriage, at least. It wasn't romantic. Eleanor's a troll and Elroy's a Grunge.
* {{Jerkass}}: She hates almost anyone apart from Ickly, Sparky, and Quellor. She never feels a hint of remorse for being an abusive mother to Tweeg.
* KickTheDog: She's proud of how much she mistreats her son and takes any chance to do it.
* LethalChef: Her goulash is so terrible that the Hermit of Leekee Lake manages to use it as acid to eat through his chains.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Once refers to Wizardweek as Lizardweek.
* MonsterFanGirl / AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Is romantically attached to Quellor. The latter trope is why her marriage to Tweeg's father, a NiceGuy, didn't work out.
* MyBelovedSmother: Most of the time she is emotionally distant and detached from her son, but that doesn't stop her from swinging into this trope full tilt in his presence.
* NotAMask: When the Trio meet her for the first time, they're convinced that she's really Tweeg using one of his disguises and think that it's just on very tightly when they try to pull it off. She's offended that they think she is her son.
* PetTheDog: On the rare occasions when she's seen Tweeg do something right for a change, she'll willingly acknowledge it and even call him "son". When the Understander takes over and fires Bognostroclum, Eleanor personally nominates Tweeg for his job.
* PrimAndProperBun: In her younger days, her hairstyle was a ponytail, but after she got old and her hair turned gray, she started wearing an old lady's bun.
* RankUp: For most of the series, she's a regular member of M.A.V.O. She briefly becomes the new Understander of Legends when the Understander becomes the new Supreme Oppressor, although when the latter goes back to her old position, Eleanor goes back to being a regular member.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: Like her son, she is green and wears purple.
* SinisterSchnoz: Her long, pointed, warty nose looks like a stereotypical wicked witch's nose.
* SleepMask: Wears one in bed as seen in "Octopede Sailors".
* SolitarySorceress: She lives in an old house, with only her pet for company, way out in the middle of nowhere near the Wall of Ying.
* SoProudOfYou: Occasionally, she shows genuine approval when he accomplishes something for a change. She says this word for word in "The Crystal Book" when he manages something on his checklist of bad deeds and in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball" when he pulls a malicious prank on her.
* StartMyOwn: Halfway through Wizardweek, she gets fed up with Tweeg's team losing, so she and Sparky form their own team.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Any time she and Tweeg work together.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Seeing Tweeg stuck in a quicksand pit during the race, she says it makes her feel like singing. Yes, that's how much she hates her son.
* VillainousFriendship: She and Bognostroclum are old friends. He's one of the only people that she's genuinely nice to, and she's able to talk him into bending the rules just this once when she has the Crystals for Quellor.
* VillainousMotherSonDuo: With her son Tweeg, whenever they manage to get on the same page. She will not miss a chance to berate and belittle him, but Eleanor is quite supportive of her son's villainous career and will express pride when he manages to pull off a dastardly plan (one example being when he sold her to the Mudblup King for his own freedom and a truck of jewels).
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: She's bitter over the fact that her son doesn't show his appreciation for her just acknowledging him and feeding him maybe once or twice when he was young.
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: She's always reminding her son how she hates the way he's no good as a villain.
* WickedWitch: Lives in a spooky house with a bat-like pet, and looks like an ugly, green hag with warts and a long nose. Though she doesn't know a lick of real magic, she fulfills every other part of the trope.

[[folder:Ickly Bognostroclum]]
!!Ickly Bognostroclum
->'''Voiced by:''' Pier Paquette
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg's Mom"
The gatekeeper of M.A.V.O. and Quellor's right-hand monster. He's obsessed with rules and regulations and won't do anything if the paperwork isn't filled out. He has a habit of quoting the M.A.V.O. handbook and citing exactly where in the book a rule is printed.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: Briefly calls Teddy a "lollipop" instead of an Illiop in his first appearance. He was trying to repeat what Eleanor whispered to him, so maybe she was being too quiet for him to hear properly.
* BaitAndSwitchComment: In "The Black Box", he says, "Ah, Tweeg. How wonderful to see your face again. Reminds of the last time I was sick!"
* BlatantLies: Like L.B. and the Tweegs, he decides to hold onto one of the Crystals, leaving just one to present to Quellor. When Tweeg is sent to gather the rest, he nervously tells him he "misplaced it earlier".
* BotheringByTheBook: He knows all the M.A.V.O. rules by heart, and he does his best to enforce them on everybody. Quellor has come close to throttling him twice for such actions.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: His rule-blabbering may get on people's nerves, but it's also what makes him one of the few M.A.V.O. members who is actually good at his job.
* TheDragon: To Quellor. He's his right-hand monster and often the only one he can count on to do his job right.
* GateGuardian: His job is the keeper of the gate at M.A.V.O. Headquarters.
* HornedHumanoid: Has a pair of horns.
* InaneBlabbering: Twice in the series, he falls into this state thanks to Tweeg: once when Tweeg showed up with the Black Box, and once where he proved NotQuiteDead.
* LastNameBasis: Most people call him Bognostroclum. Eleanor calls him Ickly because they're old friends. Eventually, so does Tweeg because he can't pronounce "Bognostroclum".
* ObsessivelyOrganized: He's obsessed with doing everything exactly the way the rule book says.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: He insists that everything be done by the book and by filling out any attached paperwork. He always seems to have the right forms on hand for anyone to do anything at M.A.V.O.
* PhotographicMemory: He's memorized the M.A.V.O. handbook so well that he can recite the exact section, page, paragraph, or line of each rule.
* PunchClockVillain: Subverted. He seems like he's being evil because it's literally his job, but he once stole one of the Crystals for himself because a real villain never passes a chance to steal.
* TheReliableOne: Because he sticks to the rules but will bend them when his boss orders him to, he's Quellor's most dependable minion.
* RulesLawyer: He's got every single M.A.V.O. rule memorized and uses them like weapons. As keeper of the gate, he's got a rule for every occasion when it comes to keeping out the riffraff.
* ScrewTheRulesItsTheApocalypse: As obsessed as he is with the rulebook, he'll cast it aside when his life is in danger. When he refuses to allow a disguised Wooly to join in M.A.V.O. in "Escape from M.A.V.O." because it's not the time and place for recruiting new members, Wooly's threats are enough to make him forget the rules and give Wooly application forms.
* StaffOfAuthority: He always carries a long ornate staff, but it's more of a symbolic item than a weapon.
* TheUnpronounceable: But only to Tweeg, who struggles to say "Bognostroclum".
* VillainousFriendship: He and Eleanor are old friends. He's one of the only people that she's genuinely nice to, and she's able to talk him into bending the rules just this once when she has the Crystals for Quellor.

[[folder:The Understander of Legends]]
!!The Understander of Legends
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JohnStocker
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg's Mom"
An old, vaguely trollish woman and the wisest member of M.A.V.O. Her job is being the keeper of M.A.V.O.'s ancient knowledge. She's a cautious, pragmatic villain who has a secret dream of becoming the Supreme Oppressor herself.
----
* AffablyEvil: She's usually very soft-spoken for a M.A.V.O. member, although she has her limits.
* BastardUnderstudy: She acts devoted to her superiors and the cause for a long time. She really wants to be the Supreme Oppressor, but she's willing to take her time and work behind the scenes. Late in the series, she gets tired of M.A.V.O. failing to find Teddy Ruxpin, so when everything is in place, the gloves come off and she takes over.
* BigShutUp: Delivers one of these in "Fugitives" when she gets fed up with listening her fellow M.A.V.O. women, yelling "SILENCE!"
* CunningLinguist: The legends of M.A.V.O. are carved in the stone walls of the meeting hall. Most people can't read them, so the Understander's job is to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin understand them]].
* {{Determinator}}: After she takes over M.A.V.O., she devotes all resources toward finding Teddy and refuses to give up.
* DragonAscendant: Briefly declares herself the new Supreme Oppressor, even though she doesn't have the Black Box. Ironically, she loses her position to ''another'' Dragon Ascendant, L.B., when he ''does'' have the Black Box.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: She's one of Quellor's most high-ranking servants, but she has her own motivations beyond her job. She wants Quellor's position, but we don't learn this until late in the series.
* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: She's only ever called by her title. This confuses Tweeg a bit in "Thin Ice" when the M.A.V.O. positions get reshuffled and she's no longer the Understander.
* EvilCripple: She's got a hunched back and can't walk very well. Still plenty evil.
* EvilGenius: Her job is knowing the legends and secrets of the Monsters and Villains Organization.
* EvilOldFolks: She might be the oldest member of M.A.V.O.
* EvilSoundsDeep: For a woman, she has a low, almost masculine-sounding voice, due to her voice actor being male.
* FingerExtinguisher: She blows out a candle in "Teddy's Quest" by pinching the flame in her fingers.
* GracefullyDemoted: When L.B. gets ahold of the Black Box and is declared the new Supreme Oppressor, she doesn't argue, since she's afraid of the Black Box just like everyone else. She goes back to being the Understander.
* IWantThemAlive: After Quellor dispatches his minions get Teddy dead or alive, she argues that they need him alive to get the Crystals. Quellor doesn't listen, so she conspires behind his back. After she takes over and puts out a wanted poster for Teddy, it says, "Wanted Alive".
* IWarnedYou: She suggested to Quellor that the Crystals that Tweeg brought them might be fake and is happy to remind him that they turned out to be just salt.
* ManipulativeBastard: She pulls the strings on Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge to manipulate them into helping her usurp Quellor's spot.
* MsExposition: This is literally part of her job: to explain M.A.V.O.'s goals and legends and what's so important about them.
* NoNameGiven: She's only called the Understander. When she moves up and Eleanor takes her spot, Tweeg finds it a bit confusing in "Thin Ice" when Mrs. Maggotheart tells him what's what.
* OnlySaneWoman: Surrounded by idiots, jerkasses, and power-mad tyrants, she's easily the most stable and sensible person at M.A.V.O.
* PragmaticVillainy: She wants to spread evil across Grundo as much as anyone, but she is patient, cautious, and calculating. While Quellor wants Teddy out of the way one way or another, the Understander wants to keep him alive because he can lead them to the Crystals.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The Understander is fairer to those beneath her than Quellor. She gives Tweeg a chance when he claims he can lead her to Teddy, promises to let Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge off punishment for helping her, and even accepts Eleanor's nomination of Tweeg as the new gatekeeper.
* StaffOfAuthority: Always carries a staff with an orb on top to show her authority.
* TranquilFury: At first. When she discovers the fake Crystals are pieces of salt, she tells Quellor coldly as she crushes one in her hand. Later, when she betrays Quellor and takes over M.A.V.O., her temper shows more.
* WomenAreWiser: Easily the wisest member of Quellor's underlings, while the male henchmen are usually more incompetent.

[[folder:Mrs. Maggotheart]]
!!Mrs. Maggotheart
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RickJones
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg Gets the Tweezles"
The M.A.V.O. dues collector who makes sure members are completing their lists of bad deeds. Most members of M.A.V.O. fear her because of all the bills she forces them to pay.
----
* AccidentalKidnapping: In "Fugitives", she's sent to kidnap Teddy and accidentally brings back the Hermit instead, not knowing there was more than one Illiop in Grundo.
* AccidentalMisnaming: When she first appears, she accidentally calls Tweeg "Tweek". Unlike the Bounders, she just misread his name on a paper.
* AshFace: She ends up covered in char marks after Tweeg's cannon hits her wagon.
* TheCaptain: After the Understander becomes the new Supreme Oppressor, she is appointed the new commander of the M.A.V.O. pirates.
* CoolSword: When she becomes commander of the M.A.V.O. pirates, she gets a sword.
* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: The highest-pitched M.A.V.O. member. You can tell she's a villain trying to hide her nastiness when she talks pleasantly.
* DelayedReaction: In "Escape from M.A.V.O.", when she discovers the Airship parked at M.A.V.O., she's distracted by the parking violation committed, so it takes her a minute to realize what she's looking at.
* TheDreaded: She is this to most of M.A.V.O. because of all the bills she gives them. In fact, being locked in a room with her is a punishment reserved for the biggest rule breakers.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She has a husband named Spittle.
* EvilDebtCollector: Mrs. Maggotheart combines this with IntimidatingRevenueService in her role as M.A.V.O.'s dues collector. Once Tweeg becomes an apprentice member, she dogs him every day demanding he pay the rather sizable debt he's accrued.
* EvilIsPetty: She throws out bills for whatever minor excuse she can think of. Let her hang a wanted poster on your front door? You pay to rent it. Don't know where the person in the poster is? You're fined for not knowing.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She often speaks very pleasantly and politely but goes into an absolute fury when she's upset.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Being a debt collector, no one in M.A.V.O. likes to deal with her. They put up with her because they need her to do her job.
* GreenAndMean: She's got sickly green skin and is particularly nasty.
* HateSink: Is probably the most despicable character in the series. She makes Tweeg looks like a boy scout.
* HoldYourHippogriffs: In one episode, she says "Thank badness" because to M.A.V.O., BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad.
* IntimidatingRevenueService: She furiously hounds Tweeg until he pays. If he doesn't, M.A.V.O. will come for him. Given she also has Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge assisting her, the intimidating part comes with the territory.
* KickTheDog: She'll happily bully a sick person to give herself more points as a M.A.V.O. member.
* MiddleManagementMook: Not quite one of the top dogs at M.A.V.O., not very action-oriented, but has an important job. She manages day-to-day affairs like finances and liaison that keep M.A.V.O. running. Ironically, people hate dealing with her even more than Quellor.
* MoodSwinger: She tends to flip between a sickeningly sweet voice and a shrieking temper multiple times in the same conversation.
* NoFullNameGiven: Her first name is unknown.
* PsychoPink: Wears a pink cloak to contrast against her froggy green skin.
* RankUp: Promoted to commander of the M.A.V.O pirates in "Thin Ice".
* StepfordSmiler: Wavers between this and SuddenlyShouting. Gimmick only witnesses the former and mistakenly believes she is a pleasant person.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Not even Quellor or the Gutangs are ruthless capitalists collecting debt ForTheEvulz. [[/folder]]
[[folder:Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge]]
!!Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge
->'''Voiced by:''' Pier Paquette (Sludge), Les Lye (Drudge), Creator/RickJones (Trudge)
->'''First appearance:''' "The Mushroom Forest"
A trio of M.A.V.O. enforcers Quellor tasks first with finding Teddy Ruxpin, then with capturing Tweeg. They're actually formidable in a fight, but their tracking skills leave much to be desired.
----
* AintTooProudToBeg: When Quellor finds out that they lied to him about killing Tweeg, they're all willing to beg for him to spare their lives.
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Their names rhyme: Sl'''udge''', Dr'''udge''', and Tr'''udge'''. It extends to Drudge's family (see below).
* BackhandedApology: After Quellor orders Sludge to apologize for calling Trudge fat, Sludge just says, "I'm sorry you're so fat". Trudge is dumb enough to accept this.
* BlameGame: In "Autumn Adventure", when Quellor learns that they lied about killing Tweeg, they try to blame each other for coming up with the idea.
* TheBrute: They're all super-strong villains but not too bright.
* CarryABigStick: Trudge is usually seen carrying around a huge club as his weapon.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Sludge is blue, Drudge is green, and Trudge is tan.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: They do this a lot. When Quellor gives them orders and asks them if they have any questions, they ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with the topic.
* CranialEruption: In "Thin Ice", when Sludge insults Eleanor, she angrily throws her hairbrush at him and gives him a bump on the head.
* DeadpanSnarker: Drudge. He gets some of the wittiest lines of any M.A.V.O. member. When visiting Tweeg's house, he says, "For a guy who knows how to make gold, he sure lives cheap."
* DeathFakedForYou: When they fail to capture Tweeg in "A Race to the Finish", they stick some slime mold in a bottle and present it to Quellor, claiming that it's a pulverized Tweeg.
* DecoyDamsel: When M.A.V.O. accidentally kidnaps the Hermit of Leekee Lake instead of Teddy, they have Sludge dress up as the Hermit in a dungeon cell and grab Teddy when he tries to rescue the Hermit.
* TheDitz: Trudge. The other two are dumb but not quite as clueless as him.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Though they appear as early as "The Mushroom Forest", they started as generic henchmen and didn't even have names for a few episodes. As they started to appear more, they gained distinct personalities: Sludge the fiercest and the leader, Drudge the slightly more sensible DeadpanSnarker, and Trudge the strongest and dumbest.
* TheDogBitesBack: How the Understander gets them to go along with her coup, she points out Quellor's BadBoss tendencies and offers them better positions under her rule.
* DumbassHasAPoint: Sometimes, they make good points. In "Leekee Lake", Sludge suggests recruiting Drudge's cousin for deep water salvage. Quellor likes the idea. In "Winter Adventure", when Tweeg is caught and tied up, Trudge points out that they'll never get any answers from Tweeg if they gag him. In "Teddy's Quest", Drudge sees a flaw in the Understander's scheme: they can't take over if Quellor has the Black Box.
* DumbMuscle: All three qualify as far as M.A.V.O. is concerned, but Trudge serves as this for the group itself, being both the strongest and the dumbest of the trio. He's actually powerful enough that he accidentally knocks out Quellor himself when he turns around.
* EliteMooks: As Quellor's personal henchmen, they rank a cut above most mooks in M.A.V.O.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Drudge has a family in Ying that he seems to be fond of.
* ExtremeOmnivore: When Drudge was a kid, he ate his cousin's coloring book.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Drudge has a cousin named Dredge, the son of his Auntie Smudge and Uncle Grudge.
* FieryRedhead: Sludge has deep, crimson hair and the worst temper of the three.
* ForgotToMindTheirHead: It happens to Sludge while they're tearing apart Tweeg's tower for the gold formula and his head is in a cupboard.
* GeniusDitz: Drudge knows how to manipulate a reluctant relative into helping him, has been to school (someplace called Troll Tech), and is one of the only characters in the whole series to see through a PaperThinDisguise when he recognizes Teddy in his Mudblup costume.
* GoldfishPoopGang: Not really quirky enough for [[QuirkyMinibossSquad the other trope]], but they tend to show up a lot to cause trouble for the good guys.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Sludge and Drudge usually fight barehanded, although they did once briefly grab a sword and a mace respectively to use.
* GreenAndMean: Drudge is a dull shade of green.
* IAmBigBoned: When Sludge complains about Trudge being fat, Trudge insists that he is "husky".
* InsufferableImbecile: Sludge. All three are DumbMuscle EvilMinions who love causing pain and destruction, but Sludge is the nastiest, even being a jerk to Trudge.
* InterrogationByVandalism: In "Winter Adventure", the three of them come to Tweeg's tower demanding his formula for turning buttermilk into gold. When he doesn't hand it over, they tie him up and throw everything around the room. Tweeg can hardly stand to watch.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Drudge once calls Teddy "Teddy Dustbin", a name Tweeg once used.
* ManipulativeBastard: Believe it or not, Drudge. He gets his cousin Dredge to go along with M.A.V.O.'s plan by threatening him, first by bringing up Dredge's mom and then the Supreme Oppressor's Black Box.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Less due to any lack of desire to be evil and more down to their sheer stupidity.
* TheNapoleon: Sludge is the smallest but also the bossiest and most short-tempered of the three.
* NoodleIncident: Drudge once mentioned in passing that he was kicked out of Troll Tech.
* OhCrap: In "Autumn Adventure", they realize they're in big trouble when Quellor sees Tweeg still alive. Later in the same episode, they think they've caught the Trio in their Mudblup costumes, only to realize too late that they're real Mudblups.
* OnlySaneByComparison: Drudge is by a small margin the smartest and most sensible of the three, but compared to the rest of M.A.V.O., he's still an idiot.
* OrderedApology: Quellor orders Sludge to apologize for calling Trudge fat.
* OutfitDecoy: When Teddy goes to rescue the Hermit from the M.A.V.O. dungeon, he sees someone in a cell in the Hermit's rope, hood up, facing the back of the cell. It turns out to be Sludge in disguise.
* PlankGag: In one episode, while trying to make Tweeg's gold recipe, Quellor tells them to stand aside. Trudge turns around and knocks Quellor into the mixture with his club.
* PsychopathicManchild: All three are dangerous brutes and will pummel their enemies mad, but they have the mentality of children. When Quellor announces that they're going to the Ying Zoo, Drudge responds like an eager child.
* RealMenWearPink: Sludge wears pink armor.
* RememberTheNewGuy: They're not really introduced. They appear suddenly in "The Mushroom Forest" without even explaining who they are.
* RingRingCRUNCH: In "Winter Adventure", when the alarm clock in Tweeg's tower wakes them up, Sludge smashes it with his fist.
* SavageSpikedWeapons: In "Teddy's Quest", Drudge snatches a mace off a suit of armor to fight Quellor. It fit him being one of {{The Brute}}s.
* SelfDeprecation: When Drudge calls his cousin too stupid to be dishonest, he says it's a family trait.
* SimpletonVoice: They all sound this way at times, but mostly Trudge.
* SinisterSchnoz: Trudge has about the hugest nose in the show.
* TerribleTrio: They're three nasty but ineffective villains who are hardly ever seen one without the others. Sludge is the aggressive leader, Drudge is OnlySaneByComparison, and Trudge is the DumbMuscle of the three.
* VillainsOutShopping: When Quellor announces that they're going to the Ying Zoo to get Tweeg, Drudge is excited about going to the zoo. They also briefly join the good guys in a costume parade.
* VitriolicBestBuds: They don't always get along, but they stick together anyway.
* YourCostumeNeedsWork: In "Autumn Adventure", when they join Teddy and the Grunges at a costume party, Teddy mistakes them for Grunges in costumes.
* YourFavorite: Drudge brings Dredge some candy ("Slime treats! Your favorite!") to get on his good side before asking for a favor. Drudge enjoys the candy but still refuses to help until Drudge blackmails him.

!!Blatsmear Rogle
->'''Voiced by:''' Robert Bockstael
->'''First appearance:''' "The New M.A.V.O. Member"
A member of the M.A.V.O. Board of Directors. Usually a background character, though he has a notable role in a few episodes.
----
* AscendedExtra: When he first appears, he's treated as just one of the background monsters to the point where you can mistake which one is him if you're not paying attention. Later, he gets a supporting role in a few episodes.
* BrutalHonesty: He's the one who tells Quellor that he's hardly the Supreme Oppressor anymore without the Black Box, the source of his power. "More of a Lessor Oppressor."
* CranialEruption: In "Leekee Lake", after a Grunge bops him on the head, he's left with a bump.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Sludge suggests that they recruit Drudge's cousin Dredge, Rogle is nervous about it.
* GotVolunteered: When Quellor leads an expedition to recover the Black Box, he forces Rogle to be the one to dive for the wreck of the ''Eclipse''. It's all for nothing because it's too deep to swim to it.
* HornedHumanoid: He's got two horns and a vaguely humanoid shape.
* JackOfAllTrades: Being often a background character, he tends to fill whatever role the show requires for him at the time.
* LastNameBasis: We only know his first name because Bognostroclum called him that in his first appearance.
* MookLieutenant: During the hunt for Teddy Ruxpin in the winter, he leads the monsters.
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: His introduction episode says he's the originator of the slime pie, but when he gets his first significant role in an episode, he is officially identified as a Board of Directors member. Still later, he is shown leading a party tracking Teddy.
* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: He's a member of the M.A.V.O. Board of Directors, but it's never revealed what they actually do, and since the rest of the board members aren't identified, the board remains a mystery.
* RecurringExtra: One of several monsters who usually appears a lot to make M.A.V.O. seem larger than the major members.
* SuddenlyVoiced: He speaks for the first time in "Leekee Lake", twenty-six episodes after his debut.

----
* AnimalEspionage: In "The Hard to Find City", one of them feeds information on Tweeg's actions to Quellor.
* BatOutOfHell: They have bat wings, and some have other chiropteran features.
* EarWings: Some have wings sticking out of the side of their heads.
* {{Flight}}: They come in so many different designs, so not all of them have the same kinds of wings, but all of them can fly.
* InstantMessengerPigeon: A whole swarm of them. Their job is to fly invitations to M.A.V.O. meetings all over Grundo.
* MixAndMatchCritters: They're like rats, lizards, or mixes of the two, and they all have bat wings.
* MoralityPet: To Quellor. He seems to genuinely love his pets.
* NoNameGiven: Their species is never named. Quellor calls one of them a "stoolpigeon", but that could just be its job rather than its species.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Although they vary in appearance, they're all brown except for Quellor's favorite named Dweezil, who is light gray.
* ParrotPetPosition: Dweezil the gray one is known to perch on Quellor's shoulder.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: They serve a villain, and many of them look like lizards.
* SapientPet: From the way Quellor can understand and communicate with them, they are implied to be sapient.

----
* BoardingParty: The M.A.V.O. pirates once used the ''Eclipse'' to board the Airship and kidnap the Trio.
* BowledOver: Gimmick uses a barrel to knock down the M.A.V.O. monsters in "Captured", accompanied by a bowling strike sound effect.
* DressedToPlunder: The M.A.V.O. pirates dress in stereotypical pirate outfits.
* PirateSong: They sing a song about how they're pirates in "Fugitives" while preparing for a voyage.

!!The Land of Ying
[[folder:In General]]
The country directly north of Grundo. A creepy land land of sharp rocks, swamps, and strange plants, the inhabitants are mostly vicious monsters and criminals. It's best known for the Ying Zoo, a tourist attraction in the capital city of Quagmire.
----
* CanonForeigner: The characters never visited Ying in the books, so all characters from Ying were created for the cartoon.
* EldritchLocation: The dirt sprays you or yells at you if you dig in the wrong place, the thorny trees can regenerate themselves immediately, the monsters don't adhere to basic biology, people apparently own scum farms, and all in all, it's a very unpleasant place to be.
* TheGreatWall: The Great Wall of Ying is a high stone wall running the length of the border that separates Ying from Grundo. Once you cross it, it seems like you've entered another world.
* GrimUpNorth: It's north of Grundo and the most wretched place in the series. It's not a frozen wasteland, but the land north of Ying certainly is.
* MenagerieOfMisery: The Ying Zoo keeps its exhibits (many of whom are actually sapient) in positively tiny cages more akin to prison cells than anything else. At least one animal is kept in a perpetual state of hunger so it can continually eat itself for the guests' amusement, while a nocturnal bat-like creature finds itself constantly illuminated. The Sorcerer boasts to have "captured one of everything from Grundo and the Land of Ying" as he extols patrons to come. And he's not above turning his more exotic guests into new exhibits if he can, even charging them room and board, as Teddy and Grubby found out when they attempted to infiltrate the place.
* {{Mordor}}: Ying is mostly covered in filthy swamps and ominous-looking rock formations, and the people there are some of the nastiest folks you could meet.
* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Even compared to the regular monsters of the show, some of the native creatures are weird (such as the zoo's Gorge Monster, which eats itself every few minutes).
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The locals feel right at home in a WretchedHive in the middle of an EldritchLocation, but they're absolutely terrified of Illiops.
* WretchedHive: The capital city of Quagmire is well-named. Gangs of punks run the streets, and a CorruptCorporateExecutive can get away with whatever he pleases.

[[folder:The Sorcerer]]
!!The Sorcerer
->'''Voiced by:''' Robert Bockstael
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg the Vegetable"
The Wizard of Grundo's younger brother and the proprietor of the Ying Zoo, a tourist attraction that displays monsters and exotic creatures. Both are driven by greed, but the Sorcerer is more ruthless and villainous.
----
* TheAnnouncer: He announces the attractions at the Ying Zoo with a loudspeaker.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: He's younger than the Wizard, and the two hate each other and call each other insulting nicknames.
* ArcVillain: The main antagonist for the Ying Zoo five-episode arc who never appears again.
* BadBoss: He's not very nice to anyone, not even his employees. At one point, he tells his lackey Spango, "Remind me to have something horrible done to you later."
* TheBarnum: Like the Wizard, he's a showman who runs a tourist attraction and only cares about milking people of as much dough as he can get from them.
* BigBadEnsemble: He leads his own group of villains separate from Tweeg, Quellor, the Mudblup King, and the Gutangs.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: He captures and collects exotic creatures to fill his zoo, and the rarer and odder his attractions, the more money he makes.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: M.A.V.O. is an organization of {{Card Carrying Villain}}s who want to spread evil and darkness across Grundo. The Sorcerer is a CorruptCorporateExecutive who only cares about profit, never calls himself a villain, and has no concerns beyond his corner of Ying.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Like his brother, he'll lie and deceive to con people out of their money, but he does it by running the Zoo as a major business, whereas the Wizard just sells honest information.
* EmbarrassingNickname: He hates when his brother calls him "Bucky". He responds by calling his brother "Stinky".
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's only ever called the Sorcerer.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Wizard. While both are greedy con men, the Wizard is a fair man who tries to please people and is willing to help them if he gets paid. The Sorcerer, on the other hand, locks people in cages and exploits them for money.
* EvilSorcerer: He's a fake sorcerer, but he's definitely a villain. There's probably a reason why he's called the Sorcerer and his good brother is called the Wizard.
* FakeWizardry: In a world where few people understand advanced technology, he passes the off zoo's electric lighting system as magic.
* TheJailer: He may see himself as a zookeeper, but he treats the beings who inhabit it like prisoners. And they didn't even do anything wrong. They're just a good way to bring in cash.
* MrExposition: He tells Teddy and Grubby the story about an Illiop who used to live in the zoo but escaped years ago. This turns out to be more important than it seems when you learn who that Illiop is.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Quellor gives him one when he refuses to hand over Tweeg: if he doesn't, he'll become an attraction in his own zoo via the Black Box.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The well-being of his exhibits doesn't matter to him. The only thing he cares about is how much money they make him.
* PointyEars: Like his brother, his ears are pointy.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: He's called the Sorcerer, but he's never seen doing any sorcery. Granted, he and his brother can't do real magic, but the Wizard at least tries to pass himself off as a wizard. Apart from the faux-magical lighting system mentioned above, the Sorcerer doesn't do anything even resembling magic. He's just a businessman who happens to dress like a sorcerer.
* QuarrelingSong: In "Wizardland", he and his brother sing a song that is basically a debate about who's got the better tourist attraction.
* ReversePsychology: He pulls this on Gimmick. When Wizardland steals his customers, he tries to get Gimmick to build a theme park ride in the zoo. Gimmick initially refuses because it does him no good if he's still a prisoner, but the Sorcerer plays on Gimmick's pride and pretends to doubt whether he can do it. Gimmick, being an InsufferableGenius, decides to prove he can.
* SiblingRivalry: He and the Wizard take this to the next level. The Wizard opens a theme park called Wizardland across the way from the Ying Zoo, and the two constantly compete for customers.
* SloganYellingMegaphoneGuy: He uses a megaphone to announce how great his zoo is and bring back the customers that his big brother is stealing at his new theme park.
* SurroundedByIdiots: He feels this way about his employees.
* TrashTalk: He and the Wizard enjoy doing this to each other. And they use megaphones to do it.

* AnimalEspionage: He flies around Ying looking for new specimens for the zoo and reports back to the Sorcerer.
* CivilizedAnimal: He talks, wears clothes, and can operate machinery, but he is still technically a pet who flies and perches on branches.

* FeatherFingers: He uses his wing feathers as fingers well enough to drive the Moormobile, the Sorcerer's armored transport.
* {{Flight}}: Being a crow, he can fly.
* NoNameGiven: His name is not mentioned.
* NonHumanSidekick: A non-Perloon lackey to the Perloon Sorcerer.
* SapientPet: The Sorcerer calls him his pet, but he can think and talk.

* PigMan: The Freds have pig-like snouts and occasionally make snorting noises.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The blue birdlike creature is the only known female Henchmonster.
* UndyingLoyalty: The Sorcerer puts up with them because they are, according to him, "extremely loyal".

[[folder:Dredge]]
!!Dredge
->'''Voiced by:''' Les Lye
->'''First appearance:''' "The Third Crystal"
Drudge's tentacled cousin from a swamp in Ying. M.A.V.O. recruited him to retrieve the Black Box from Leekee Lake.
----
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Drudge and Dredge's names are almost identical.
* CombatTentacles: In "Up for Air", he attacks Teddy in Leekee Lake with his tentacles. He rips Teddy's diving helmet off and might have made Teddy drown if Teddy hadn't discovered the Fourth Crystal's power.
* DidNotSeeThatComing: As he tries to chase and eat Teddy in his diving suit, he did not expect a second Illiop to show up and give him an electric shock. "Drudge didn't say nothing about any underwater hazards."
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He loves his mother, Drudge's Auntie Smudge. When he initially refuses to do his cousin a favor, Drudge convinces him by threatening to tell her.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Drudge and Dredge are cousins.
* HarmlessElectrocution: Three times in "Up for Air". When he tries to eat Teddy in Leekee Lake, the Hermit saves Teddy with his StaticStunGun. When Dredge grabs the stun gun and goes after them, he accidentally hits the metal surface of the Sub-Water Boat with it, which shocks his whole body. Then, when he tries to stop the Sub-Water Boat, Teddy presses a button that releases an even bigger shock.
* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: He is Drudge's cousin and has a similar face to him, so one of his parents must be a Troll, but from his lower half, his other parent must be some aquatic cephalopod-like creature. How they managed to conceive Dredge is a mystery.
* HybridMonster: Based on his appearance and relationship to Drudge, he must be the offspring of a Troll and some kind of cephalopod-like monster.
* KnottyTentacles: While he's chasing Teddy around the wreck of the ''Eclipse'', he sticks two of his tentacles through the portholes, causing Teddy to tie them in a knot.
* NervesOfSteel: Subverted. While M.A.V.O. is waiting for Dredge to come back up, Quellor suggests that he might have met his match down there. Drudge denies this and states the trope name exactly. Just then, Dredge leaps out of the water in terror.
-->'''Quellor:''' Nerves of steel, eh?\\
'''Drudge:''' Okay then. How about aluminum foil?
* OddNameOut: He's the only known member of his family whose name doesn't rhyme. His parents are Smudge and Grudge, and his cousin is Drudge.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: The reason Dredge is reluctant to help his cousin? When they were kids, Drudge ate his coloring book! Even after all these years, Dredge hasn't forgiven him.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: After getting shocked one time too many, he swims away as fast as he can, jumps out of the lake, and resigns.
* SuperPersistentPredator: When he spots Teddy in his diving suit, he decides to stop searching and have lunch.
* SwampMonster: He's a tentacled HybridMonster who lives in a swamp in Ying.

A group of red armless bipeds. They're sarcastic and mischievous creatures who work for Tweeg. L.B. is their leader. Recurring Bounders include Harry, Hugo, Spike, and Biff.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Some appear in the books with different hair colors. Harry's hair is a much darker shade of purple in the cartoon than in the books, while Hugo's hair is light brown in the books but dark red in the cartoon.
* ArmlessBiped: Bounders have two legs but no arms.
* CallousnessTowardsEmergency: In "Grundo Graduation", Tweeg's tower catches fire, and the Bounders just stand there watching it. In "The Great Grundo Ground Race", they're callous towards Tweeg being stuck in quicksand, claiming that they're too busy singing.
* ComedicSociopathy: Whenever Tweeg becomes a victim of slapstick or his schemes backfire, the Bounders tend to just stand by laughing.
* DumbMuscle: A Bounder is much stronger than he looks, and some of them aren't very bright.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When they first appear,
* TheGadfly: Like L.B., they love seeing Tweeg's reaction when they make a rude remark.
* HandyFeet: Though most Bounders use their mouths as hands, they can use their feet.
* HumanLadder: L.B. treats Biff as one in "King Nogburt's Castle" because he's too short to reach Tweeg's telescope.

* NamedByTheAdaptation: Some Bounders, such as Harry and Hugo, were in the books but unnamed.
* PetTheDog: Though they annoy Tweeg and complain about working conditions, they do willingly go to rescue him from Quellor's henchmen in "Winter Adventure", and when everyone in Grundo is giving out holiday gifts, they give Tweeg the best gift he could ask of them: they get his name right.
* PunchClockVillain: Just like L.B., they help Tweeg commit crimes because it's their job.
* SimpletonVoice: Spike and Biff have voices that make them sound unintelligent.
* ThreeStoogesShoutOut: Biff has Moe's bowl cut, Hugo has red hair around a bald spot like Larry, and Spike is sometimes bald like Curly (he's also been drawn with L.B.'s hair). Harry's thick, parted hair may be based on Shemp.

* WavingSignsAround: In the strike in "Teddy's Quest" mentioned above, the Bounders go on strike at the tower, waving signs and demanding their pay.

[[folder:Buffy]]
!!Buffy
->'''Voiced by:''' Abby Hagyard
->'''First appearance:''' "Grundo Graduation"
A female Bounder who becomes L.B.'s love interest later in the series. By the end of the series, [[spoiler:they are married]].
----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: She only wears a blue bow around her horn.
* AdaptationDyeJob: She appears in an illustration in one of the books where her hair is longer and blonde. In the cartoon, she has the same tuft of pink hair as L.B.
* ArmlessBiped: Being a Bounder, she has two legs and no arms.
* AscendedExtra: She only has a minor appearance in a single book. In the cartoon, she's a recurring character. Also, when she first appears in the cartoon she starts out as just a regular member of L.B.'s gang, but her role gets bigger as the series goes on and she's cemented as L.B.'s love interest.
* BeachKiss: In "On the Beaches", as she and L.B. stroll along the beach, [[spoiler:L.B. proposes to her and she says yes]], followed by a kiss between them.

* MaliciousMisnaming: Just like the rest of the Bounders, she'll call Tweeg any old thing that starts with "T-W".

* MyNewGiftIsLame: Just about everyone brings a gift to [[spoiler:her and L.B.'s wedding]], but a lot of it looks like unwanted junk to her.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: She appears in one of the books but isn't described or named. She was named Buffy for the animated series.
* OneOfTheBoys: She spends all her time hanging around male Bounders, isn't shown having any female friends, and takes part in the sporting events of Wizardweek.

* SatelliteLoveInterest: She doesn't have much of a personality other than "L.B.'s girlfriend".

* TuftOfHeadFur: She has the same tuft of pink hair around the base of her horn as L.B.
* WaddlingHead: Well, hopping head, but same thing. A Bounder is just a large head with a pair of legs and a tail sticking out the back.

[[folder:Mudblups]]
!!Mudblups
->'''Voiced by:''' Various
->'''First appearance:''' "Beware of the Mudblups"
A group of strange creatures made of mud. They live in a cave in the Great Desert and rarely venture out because they can't stand bright light.
----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: In "Win One for the Twipper", they wear sunglasses and Grungeball caps.
* AchillesHeel: When the bright light from Louie's camera blinds a Mudblup, Arin tells Teddy and Gimmick that the Mudblups detest bright lights.
* AdaptationExpansion: In the books, they're not developed much more than being a nasty group of creatures who capture anyone who comes along. In the adaptations, they mine diamonds and have a king.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Mudblups are repulsive monsters who live underground (as they are WeakenedByTheLight) and enslave anyone who dares wander into their caves.
* BerserkButton: Do not enter their cave uninvited or steal their coal, or they will throw you in the dungeon.
* BlindedByTheLight: Mudblups live underground, so they can't stand bright lights. Louie's camera's light blinds the prison warden so Teddy, Gimmick, and Arin can escape, and when they come back to rescue Grubby, they carry candles.
* TheBrute: They're all strong but not too smart.
* CarryABigStick: Large clubs are their weapon of choice.
* ChekhovsSkill: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", a Mudblup clubs a rock that ricochets around the cave. Tweeg remembers this and comes up with a plan to use the Mudblups as a Grungeball team.
* CoolShades: There is one way that Mudblups can venture out in sunlight: by wearing sunglasses. The King wears a 1980s visor-style pair.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: When they catch Leota and Seymour, they lock them in a cell, not realizing that the bars are too widely spaced to hold them.
* HiddenDepths: In "Win One for the Twipper", the Mudblups turn out to be pretty good Grungeball players.
* HiddenElfVillage: They live in a cave in the Great Desert where no one else lives, have no mercy for thieves and intruders, and don't interact much with the outside world.
* InnateNightVision: Because they spend all their lives in caves, they can see in the dark.
* KryptoniteProofSuit: Bright sunlight hurts their eyes, but they can be outside on a sunny day if they wear sunglasses.
* LethalChef: Prince Arin says that their food is terrible, although he thinks Grubby's root stew is worse.
* MuckMonster: They are made of mud, hence their name. How these creatures evolved in a dry desert environment is anyone's guess.
* OhCrap: This is their reaction anytime a bright light hits their eyes.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: They have red eyes to make them look even more menacing.
* RockMonster: In some ways, they behave more like this than a MuckMonster. While they're made of mud, they don't leave puddles or splatters of mud on whatever they touch. Mud is technically made of rock, so it counts.
* SuperStrength: They're able to break right through solid rock despite being merely made of mud.
* VerbalTicName: They often make "blup-blup" sounds, hence their name.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: In the animated series, a Mudblup often sounds like a few people speaking at the same time.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Prince Arin explains that because the Mudblups spend all their time in darkness, they can't stand bright lights. The heroes use this to their advantage multiple times in the series.
* WorthlessYellowRocks: They mine both coal and diamonds and think that the former is much more valuable and attractive than the latter.
* YourCostumeNeedsWork: Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge briefly mistake them for the Trio, who were dressed in Mudblup costumes earlier.

* CoolHelmet: Their helmet is so large that it covers their head and entire body and is specially designed to look like an owl.
* ExpressiveMask: Sometimes, their helmets show expression, like an EyePop that says OhCrap.
* EyePop: As said above, one of them does this when he realizes he's in trouble while flying his plane in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains".
* TheFaceless: The Gutangs' armor always hides their faces, although the Court Jester's eyes are visible through his mask.
* FlowerPotDrop: Teddy and Gimmick push a large planter on top of some Gutangs so they can knock them out and steal their armor.
* GreenAndMean: If their arms, legs, and tails say anything, Gutangs are green villains under their armor.
* HarpoonGun: Their planes have mounted rotating spear guns. Luckily, they're not very good shots.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Their weapons usually either miss or hit the hull of the Airship, never stopping the heroes. The closest they get to a good hit is when one of their arrows hits the airbag, but Teddy plugs the leak.
* InverseLawOfSharpnessAndAccuracy: The Gutangs' spears and arrows might hit the Airship or damage something, but they'll never actually hit or injure a person.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Often, during Gutang raids or battles, a sped-up rearrangement of the Gutang song will play in the background.
* ManiacMonkeys: Gutangs are monkey-like creatures and hostile to pretty much everyone that they can't do a business deal with.
* {{Mooks}}: They all look alike and most of them exist to give the heroes someone to fight or shoot down.
* OhCrap: Even though you can't see their faces, you can still tell when they realize they're screwed when their planes have been jammed by Grubby's root stew.
* OminousOwl: They're not actually owls, but their armor is designed to make them look like giant owls. They look sinister in it, and they're invariably evil.
* PrecursorKillers: In the finale, the truth behind them is finally revealed: [[spoiler:For a long time, the Illiops thrived in the Hard to Find City and had a prosperous relationship with the Illipers. But then the Gutangs attacked both of their peoples. The surviving Illiops were driven out and forced to flee Grundo as the Gutangs took it over their city.]]
* TheRuntAtTheEnd: During their VillainSong, when a troop of Gutangs are marching on patrol, there's one running after them to catch up who ends up tripping and falling down the steps.
* TapOnTheHead: The heroes sometimes knock them out but never kill them.
* VillainSong: They have a song that they sing while marching about how terrible they are:
-->We're cruel, we're nasty, we're ugly, and we're mean.\\
We're as bad a gang of evil Gutangs as you have ever seen.\\
So don't come near our fortress, or you will have to pay\\
A terrible price. It won't be nice. It could ruin your whole day.
* VillainsOutShopping: They love to play card games in their spare time.
* WaterSourceTampering: King Nogburt's castle gets its water from [[spoiler:a series of secret underground aqueducts built long ago]], but the Gutangs have been secretly stealing the water, causing the kingdom's drought.
!!The Court Jester

----
* {{Ambadassador}}: All Gutangs are trained in warfare. Presumably, this includes the Ambassador who acts as their liaison to M.A.V.O.
* AssInAmbassador: The Gutang Ambassador may be good at his job, but he's a jerk and a villain who seizes the opportunity to milk M.A.V.O. of all the money he can.
* CanonForeigner: Didn't appear in the original book and tape series.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He is only ever referred to as "Ambassador".
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The Ambassador is willing to do business with M.A.V.O. and provide his people's services, but only if they get paid. When Quellor asks whether they're ever evil just for the fun of it, the Ambassador says, "Yes, but that costs extra."

Leota is the second friend that Teddy and Grubby made in Grundo, though they didn't initially start out on a good note. Due to not being able to control the Airship very well, Gimmick accidentally crashed into her tree. Leota was very cross about the whole situation, until Teddy managed to smooth things over with her. She helped Gimmick come up with a steering system for the Airship and has been a good friend ever since.

* CoolTeacher: Leota is the teacher at a schoolhouse in a tree. She's a very kind teacher who is loved by all of her students due to how accepting, understanding, and patient she is. She's also very protective of her students, and helps keep them safe when the schoolhouse catches fire.
* FaeriesDontBelieveInHumansEither: When she introduces herself, Gimmick says there's no such things as "woodsprites", she quips back that there's no such thing as big bags of air stuck in her tree, yet there it, big as life.

* NiceGirl: She is very kind and supporting to her students and is the TeamMom for the good guys.

[[folder:The Wooly What's-It]]
!!The Wooly What's-It
->'''Voiced by:''' Will Ryan (books and special), Pier Paquette (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "Guests of the Grunges"
A large, furry, purple creature who helps the Trio whenever they need a little physical prowess. Though he looks mean and vicious, Wooly is quite the opposite. He's extremely loyal to those who befriend him, and the quickest way to upset him is to mess with his friends.
----
* AccidentalKidnapping: In "One More Spot", he tries to catch some bugs to study for a school assignment, but he accidentally kidnaps the Trio while they're shrunk to bug-size.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: In the books and live-action special, his body is a solid purple color, whereas in the cartoon, his beard, hands, and belly are a much lighter shade than the rest of him.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Briefly, when he first joins Leota's classes, the other students only laugh at him when he misunderstands a question. They eventually stop doing this as Wooly adjusts to school.
* AngryFistShake: He'll sometimes shake his fists in the air when a villain angers him, such as the Gutangs firing on his friends.
* ApologizesALot: Whenever he accidentally does something wrong, he apologizes, even if there are other things to worry about (see SkewedPriorities below).
* AppropriatedAppellation: Wooly's name comes from what others described him as being after he accidentally stranded himself near the Rainbow Falls; a "wooly whatsit". The Snowzos are an obscure species to the other inhabitants of Grundo anyway, but being dyed by the Rainbow Falls made him unrecognizable.
* ArrowCatch: In "Through Tweeg's Fingers", he catches an arrow fired by the Gutangs and throws it at one of their planes, smashing its propeller apart.
* AudienceSurrogate: He's like a stand-in for children watching the show because he has a lot to learn in school and looks at it with a childlike naivete.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he becomes so tired of being big and clumsy that he asks the Trio to shrink him to Elf-size so he can be like his classmates. Unfortunately, he's also lost his strength and prowess.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Wooly wouldn't hurt a fly, but woe to anyone who hurts one of his friends.
* BigDamnHeroes: He has a knack for this. Since he's so big and heavy, he can't go on the airship and has to ''walk'' wherever Teddy and friends are going while the others fly ahead. This is a good way of HoldingBackThePhlebotinum because Wooly's so strong and tough he can generally wipe the floor with any of the bad guys -- when he shows up at the destination, it's generally when the others have already been through several hardships that they had to solve without him. More then once, he comes to the rescue at the very last minute, when the others are in serious trouble, and all seems lost.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: He's a Snowzo, a species of cat-tailed yeti-like creatures who dwell in the cold regions of Grundo. In fact, he strayed from the group when he was a child and got lost, and ended up being dyed his trademark pink color because he took to drinking from and bathing in the Rainbow Falls.
* TheBigGuy: When he opts to join the Trio on a mission, he adds some much needed brawn to back them up.
* BigHeartedBigfoot: Snowzos are based on the yeti (large, furry bipeds who live in the cold regions of the world), and few people are more big-hearted than Wooly.
* BigShutUp:
** After putting out a fire, the Elves and Woodsprites restart the feud that led to it, so Wooly shuts them up with a big "BE QUIET!"
** When everyone falls under M.A.V.O.'s HatePlague, Teddy tries to stop Grubby, Gimmick, and Wooly from arguing only to receive a collective "Oh, shup up, Teddy!"
* BullyHunter: He won't stand by when he sees someone (usually Tweeg) picking on someone weaker.
* CaringGardener: He's a friendly guy who grows a lot of his own food at his house. In "Harvest Feast", his harvest becomes all kinds of food for the castle banquet.
* CharacterCatchphrase: He almost always says "Hiya" instead of "Hello" or "Hi".
* ChekhovsGun: He finds a shiny red rock at the top of Rainbow Falls in "The Faded Fobs". A few episodes later, it gives Teddy the solution to get back all the money Tweeg cheated out of everyone.
* ClimbingTheCliffsOfInsanity: He's good at climbing cliffs. In the live-action special, it was stated that the Treacherous Mountains were believed to be impossible to climb, but Wooly does it.
* CurbStompBattle: After climbing the Treacherous Mountains, Wooly decides to destroy many of the Gutang Flying Machines with ease.
* CuteGiant: He towers over the other good guys, but he looks like a purple cross between a gorilla and a teddy bear.
* DisneyDeath: In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains", he jumps on the last of the Gutang planes and forces it to crash-land. When the heroes find him, they mourn him for a moment before he turns out to be alive.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: He's so strong that sometimes he clumsily breaks things. In "Elves and Woodsprites", he becomes so fed up with being so big and clumsy that he asks the Trio to shrink him with the Reducing Machine.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: The Wizard is so startled by his appearance that he slams his door in Wooly's face, making him fall on his butt.
* FaceOfAThug: When the Trio and Arin meet him for the first time, they think he's a dangerous monster. But when he learns that they're searching for a kidnapped princess, he reveals himself to be a GentleGiant.
* FlowersOfRomance: On his way to visit Princess Aruzia, whom he has a crush on, he picks some flowers for her in the Jungle with No Name. These flowers turn out to be the antidote for King Nogburt's illness.
* GentleGiant: Despite his immense size and strength, he's actually a very gentle and friendly being.
* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: He knows that bad people do bad things but doesn't understand why. As he puts it, "Why would anybody kidnap a princess? That's bad!"
* GoThroughMe: In "Autumn Adventure", he blocks one of the M.A.V.O. goons from attacking Teddy, making him bounce backwards off his belly.
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Wooly doesn't usually wear anything, but when he does, he's never fully dressed. In "Win One for the Twipper", he just wears a Grungeball team jersey.
* HeavyVoice: Inverted. When he is shrunk by Gimmick's Reducing Machine, he gets a higher, squeakier voice. Strangely, it never happens when anyone else shrinks.
* HelpImStuck: In "The Rainbow Mine", he lands rear-end into the mouth of the cave that Rainbow Falls comes out of.
* HeroicSacrifice: He does one in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains" by jumping on a Gutang plane and making it crash-land before it can shoot his friends. Fortunately, he survives.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He calls himself dumb several times in "The Wooly What's-It". It turns out that he's just undereducated, and he gets over it once he starts to catch up with the rest of Leota's students.
* HumbleHero: Wooly is very helpful to everyone but modest about it too. In "Through Tweeg's Fingers", when the characters thank him for the medicinal flowers he brought them, he modestly says he didn't grow them, just pick them.
* IAmSong: "What is a Wooly What's-It", sung by the Trio, is all about who he is and what he's like.
* IChooseToStay: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", after he is reunited with his own kind, he decides to stay in Grundo, although he promises to come and visit.

* ImprovisedClothes: To infiltrate M.A.V.O. and rescue Grubby and Gimmick, Leota makes him a monster costume out of cotton candy.
* TheInfiltration: Teddy and Leota dress him up in a monster costume and have him pretend to be interested in joining M.A.V.O. so he can sneak in and free Grubby and Gimmick from the M.A.V.O. dungeon.
* InterspeciesAdoption: He's a Snowzo who is implied to have been raised by Fobs.
* InterspeciesRomance: He's implied to have a crush on Princess Aruzia. Whether she's aware of it or not is unclear, although she still sees him as a very dear friend.
* KeepTheReward: When Arin offers him a reward for helping save his sister, Wooly says he's already been rewarded: he got kissed by a princess.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Often, an instrumental version of the chorus of "What's a Wooly What's-It" will play while he's seen on the show.
* LiteralCliffhanger: After Prince Arin turns into the Iron Warrior, and he and Wooly have a tumble, they roll over the end of a cliff with Wooly clinging to a branch and the Iron Warrior clinging to Wooly's tail. After the branch gives, they fall into the water.
* MathematiciansAnswer: In math class, when Leota asks how much a hundred trees plus a hundred trees is, Wooly says, "A forest."
* MissingChild: There's a legend of a young Snowzo who vanished many years ago, and it turns out to be Wooly.
* NiceGuy: Of the GentleGiant variety. All of the Trio's allies exemplify AFriendInNeed, but few people do it as well as Wooly does. Because he is so helpful, Katie gives him the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_name sign name]] of a W over an open hand.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Snowzos live north of the land of Ying, but Wooly grew up in Grundo, so he doesn't share most of his race's aversion to warmth.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: When the Gutang plane he's on crashes, his friends briefly believe that he died, thinking no one could have survived the impact. It turns out that Wooly's [[SuperToughness just that tough]].
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Makes one to Bognostroclum while pretending to be a monster wanting to join M.A.V.O. Bognostroclum says that members can only join at the right time and place, but Wooly picks him up and says, "Do I get to join your club, or do you want to be a door knocker from now on?"
* PapaWolf: Threaten a child or one of his friends and he'll make you sorry. Tweeg discovers this the hard way any time he tries to do a bad deed when Wooly's around.
* PrehensileTail: "The Rainbow Mine" reveals that he can grasp things with his tail.
* PurpleIsPowerful: He's purple and possesses enormous amounts of strength.
* QuestForTheRest: In "One More Spot", Wooly's bothered by the fact that he doesn't know what kind of creature he is, and he's working to figure it out. Eventually, he meets his own kind: the Snowzos.
* RampJump: In the final race of Wizardweek, after Tweeg cuts down the suspension bridge behind him, Wooly is forced to jump across Trembley Fault on his skateboard.
* RealAfterAll: Gimmick spent most of "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos" claiming that Snowzos aren't real. Not only are they real, but Gimmick has been friends with one for months.
* ReallyFondOfSleeping: Wooly likes taking naps for fun.
* SimplemindedWisdom: Wooly is undereducated at first and a bit slow, but he does show moments of worldliness.
* SkewedPriorities: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", while playing Grungeball, he's so concerned about the fact that he broke the bat that he forgets to run to first base.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Invariably fouls up the plans of the villains somehow when he gets involved. Like the time he accidentally convinced M.A.V.O that Tweeg had been trying to oust Quellor and take over for himself.
* SquareCubeLaw: Inverted. In his normal size, he's got SuperStrength, but when he's shrunk by the Reducing Machine, he seems proportionately weaker.
* SuperStrength: Even for his size, Wooly is capable of remarkable feats of strength. It's implied that his muscle is denser than most creatures.
* SuperToughness: After his fall at the end of the Gutang battle, he survives crashing a plane, proving that even an impact like that can't kill him.
* SupremeChef: Wooly's a great cook and is happy to prepare something when his friends pop over. In "Harvest Feast", he cooks enough of a feast to fill a banquet.
* TeamKids: If Teddy is the TeamDad, and Leota is the TeamMom, Grubby, Gimmick, and Wooly are the ones they parent. In Wooly's case, it's because he never had much of an education and feels dumb compared to his classmates. When he and Leota interact, she acts like a surrogate mother to him.
* TechnicalPacifist: Just like Teddy and Arin, any time he resorts to violence, it's non-lethal. But grabbing or throwing around someone who makes him angry? Sure.
* TemporarilyExaggeratedTrait: When M.A.V.O.'s spell of darkness casts over Grundo, it happens to most of Teddy's friends. In Wooly's case, his love for naps is turned up to not wanting to do anything else.
* ThatsNoMoon: In "The Rainbow Mine", when he gets stuck in the Rainbow Falls cave entrance, the Trio mistakes him for a big rock.
* TrampolineTummy: In "The Crystal Book", he lets some Fobs use his belly as a trampoline.
* UndyingLoyalty: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him, the Crystal says that loyalty is a key trait of his. And he's certainly loyal to his friends.
* UnskilledButStrong: He's the strongest of the good guys but can be a bit clumsy with it.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In "Escape from M.A.V.O.", when he sees his friends (really the Anythings) appear to split into AnimateBodyParts, he just tells them to quit fooling around.
* VagueAge: Wooly lives along and takes care of himself, but he often looks at the world like a young child and attends Leota's class with kids.
* VerbalTic: Often goes "Blblblblblbl!" when talking.
* WeaponizedBall: In "Tweeg joins M.A.V.O.", after collecting some of Tweeg's cannonballs to return to him, he throws them at M.A.V.O. Headquarters, breaking right through the stone walls.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Mudblups. In "Autumn Adventure", the Fobs claim that Wooly's not afraid of anything, but to him, the Trio's Mudblup costumes are so convincing that he's terrified of them.

The son and eldest child of King Nogburt. The Trio first met him while they were being held captive by the Mudblups.

* HiddenDepths: When he joins Wooly's team for Wizardweek, he turns out to be a pretty good glider pilot in "Air and Water Races".
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: When he appears, he sometimes makes the Trio seem more like a quartet. He lives with them, is treated like part of the family, and joins them on some of their adventures, but he often stays behind or does his own thing while they're off adventuring.
* InconsistentColoring: In a couple of episodes, he's purple with pink trim, but he's usually green with yellow trim. Justified since Rainbow Falls water gives Fobs their color, so it's possible to change color.
* InformedAttribute: In one episode, Teddy says Fuzz is usually too shy to wander far from home, but Fuzz is very nervy and often goes to visit the other Fobs.
* InsultBackfire: When Tweeg says "When I'm finished with you and your pals, you'll regret the day you ever laid eyes on me," Fuzz retorts, "I already do."

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: During the Wizardweek episode "Air and Water Races", he knows when it's time to bail out rather than risk crashing.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Calls Tweeg "Tweek" while in a cage, which makes L.B. like him even more.
* MotorMouth: It's not that he doesn't know when to shut up. He just talks fast. This is because Fob voices are sped up to sound higher.
* NervesOfSteel: When Tweeg kidnaps him, he discovers that Fuzz doesn't know how to be intimidated.
* ObliviouslyEvil: In "Take a Good Look", he serves as the antagonist without realizing it. He just doesn't recognize his friends in their tiny size and thinks they're juicy bugs.
* ParachuteInATree: After bailing out from his glider in "Air and Water Races".
* PrehensileTail. He can use his tail to hold or carry objects like other Fobs.
* RaisedByHumans: According to the book version of "Uncle Grubby", Fuzz has been raised by Gimmick since he was a baby.

* SapientPet: He's Gimmick's pet, but he can talk, think, and is treated like a person.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In "Fugitives", when he delivers Teddy's message Grubby and Gimmick while M.A.V.O. has them under house arrest, he tells the M.A.V.O. guard that he's not delivering any secret messages and that he doesn't even know who Teddy Ruxpin is. The guard is dumb enough to him through.

!!The Hermit of Leekee Lake/[[spoiler:Burl Ruxpin]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Phil Baron
->'''First appearance:''' "To the Rescue"
A mysterious being rumored to live on an island in Leekee Lake. He is revealed to be an Illiop, and later, [[spoiler:Teddy Ruxpin's father who had his memories erased by the Black Box]].
----
* AmnesiaMissedASpot: He has some slight remnant memories that hint who he is. One major clue is that he knows [[spoiler:a song that Teddy's father made up for him when he was little]].
* AscendedExtra: He becomes a major character in the last two main story arcs.
* BearyFriendly: He's a nice guy who saves Teddy from drowning in the river in his first appearance.
* BigDamnReunion: When he finally remembers that he is [[spoiler:Teddy's father, the two of them sing a song called "Together Again", and then he is reunited with his wife in the next episode]].
* BlankSlate: When Gimmick tries to use the Crystal Stethoscope on him, it reveals no personality traits. This is what happens when you have your memories erased by the Black Box.
* BoundAndGagged: M.A.V.O. wraps him up in chains while he's kept prisoner at Eleanor's house.
* CanonForeigner: He did not appear in the books and cassette tapes.
* TheCaretaker: After he saves Teddy from drowning in the river, he takes care of him and nurses him back to health while Teddy drifts in and out of consciousness.
* DependingOnTheWriter: In-universe example. There are all kinds of stories floating around about him because no one has met him in person before. "Some say he's a monster with huge glowing eyes, or a fish, or a Fob, or a sneaky M.A.V.O. spy..."
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:He was captured by M.A.V.O., had his memory erased, and got sent to the Ying Zoo. Even after escaping, he couldn't return to his family due to having lost his memory, so he ended up living in Leekee Lake.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's just called the Hermit of Leekee Lake because no one knew his name. Teddy addresses him as Mr. Hermit.
* FunnyAnimal: The Illiops are anthropomorphic bears who generally act like human beings.
* GaleForceSound: When he and Teddy say goodbye to Zeb and Maple, Zeb tells him to speak up. He shouts at him, blowing him backwards because Zeb's a tiny Elf.
* GoodParents: [[spoiler:Even before he remembered he was Teddy father, he was always good to him, even being a PapaWolf.]]
* GutFeeling: In "Fugitives", he tells Teddy that they should approach Gimmick's house cautiously, saying he has a hunch that something's wrong. He was right because M.A.V.O. was guarding the house.
* HappilyMarried; [[spoiler:To Ilana. He would have returned if he remembered she existed. When they reunite, all is well between them.]]
* TheHermit: It's what everyone calls him because he keeps to himself.
* HostageMacGuffin: After M.A.V.O. accidentally kidnaps him instead of Teddy, they use him as bait, knowing one Illiop will always save another. It gets Teddy captured.
* HouseSquatting: He doesn't own his lair. He just found it. It was built by an old civilization on his island, but since no one used it anymore, he settled there.
* IAmSong: The characters sing a song about him and his legend, but the lyrics make it clear that no one knows for sure what he is. So, more of an "I Might Be" Song.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Like Teddy, he does not fall under M.A.V.O.'s evil spell when they have the Crystals, suggesting that Illiops are immune to it. Maybe this is why M.A.V.O. fears them.
* InTheHood: Early on, he would keep the hood of his robe up to make him seem mysterious. He stops wearing it when he begins to open up to Teddy.
* IntrepidMerchant: [[spoiler:Before he lost his memory, he was a trader and adventurer who traveled around trading his herbs for both food and medicine. He never came back after M.A.V.O. captured him.]]

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The Seventh Crystal did this to him, although he is hinted to have some trace memories.

* TheMedic: One of his skills is healing. In his first appearance, he nurses Teddy back to health and gives him a homemade healing potion. [[spoiler:He gets it from his old life as a trader when he worked with a lot of herbs.]]
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: He keeps to himself so much that people aren't even sure what he is. The Grunges think he's a sea monster. He's just an Illiop who's not comfortable being around anyone.
* MysteriousProtector: He saves Teddy from drowning in the river, then sneaks away before anyone sees him, leaving Teddy uncertain if he was a dream or not. The next time he saves Teddy, from Dredge while underwater, he drops the secrecy for Teddy only.
* MysteriousWatcher: After Leota and Wooly find Teddy alone in the Hermit's camp, the Hermit spends the episode watching him from a distance. He's very interested in the younger Illiop but not ready to show his face yet.
* NiceGuy: The Hermit is a very goodhearted guy and not scary at all like the legends say. When Teddy falls in the river, he saves him and nurses him back to help.
* NobodyHereButUsStatues: [[spoiler:He surprises everyone in Rillonia with his return, including his wife, by pretending to be the statue that was built to commemorate him.]]
* NoNeedForNames: He tells Teddy that he doesn't think he has a name. He didn't need one because he had no friends before Teddy.

* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Most Illiops usually go barefoot, but the Hermit regularly wears a pair of boots.
* ShockStick: Among the many things he's found are a bunch electric shock prods for dealing with underwater creatures. He calls them stingers.
* ShrinkingViolet: The real reason he runs away from people is that he's very shy.
* ShroudedInMyth: Because no one ever knew for sure that he was real, there were all kinds of stories about what he could be.
* SixthRanger: In the last two story arcs, he becomes an extra member of the heroes.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: When Teddy begins to sing "Will You Go to Sleep Before I Do?", the Hermit joins in. This is the first clue that [[spoiler:he's really Teddy's long-lost father who made up that song and sang it for Teddy when he was little]].

!!Grunges
[[folder:In General]]
!!In General
The main humanoid race of Grundo. They tend to be passionate about their hobbies and like to fill their days with partying or enjoying music. One of two good races collectively seen regularly in both the books and the cartoons.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Most of them have yellow skin in the books. In the cartoon, they have human flesh tones.
* CastHerd: The Jungle Grunges and Surf Grunges are separate groups who aren't usually seen together except to fill a crowd. Louie belongs to neither group, being part of a two-person herd with his boss.
* CastOfSnowflakes: The Grunges all have similar facial anatomy, but their features come in different shapes and designs. Each Grunge also has a distinct outfit and hair.
* ADayInTheLimelight: After their introduction, they often serve as crowd fillers or {{Bit Character}}s, but "Anything in the Soup" gives the Jungle Grunges more screentime, while "Win One for the Twipper" does it for the Surf Grunges.
* {{Demihuman}}: While Illipers might be a HumanSubspecies, Grunges are something else. Humans don't have antennae, two-toed feet, or those oversized noses, but apart from that, the Grunges could almost pass for humans. They also tend to have more body hair, snaggleteeth, and warts.
* FourFingeredHands: Literally, but they also have just two big toes on each foot.
* LifeOfTheParty: Grunges love to dance, play music, and party.
* LovableJock: A Grunge's favorite game is Grungeball, which is just baseball with a different name. They're friendly folks who are good at it. The Surf Grunges also enjoy surfing.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: None of the Grunges have names in the books except for Louie, the Wizard's assistant, and Boomer, one of the Surf Grunges. The cartoon gives several of them names.
* OutdoorsyGal: The female Grunges prefer to spend their time doing outdoor activities just like their male counterparts, even though they live in houses like most people.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Most female Grunges take their game of Grungeball very seriously.
* SeriousBusiness: Grunges take their hobbies very seriously. They love music and dance, Jungle Grunges can get touchy about the vegetables they grow, and Surf Grunges are all about surfing.
* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: Grunge hair can be almost any color, from normal human hair colors like red, blonde, or brown to more unnatural ones like purple, pink, or green.

* {{Leitmotif}}: A slow, old-fashioned sounding bluesy piece plays when he shows up.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Most Grunges are wild, fun-loving party animals who don't do a lot of work. Louie is more serious and focused on his job.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Louie points out how the Wizard and the Sorcerer, as much as they hate each other, are alike in that they'll both do anything for money.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: After Wizardland falls apart and leaves the Wizard broke, Louie suggests throwing a party to cheer him up, and they could invite his brother. He realizes too late that he shouldn't have said that last part when the Wizard gets depressed again.
* ServileSnarker: He sometimes copes with his job as the Wizard's put-upon assistant by making snarky remarks.
* ThoseMagnificentFlyingMachines: He rides around on a pedal-powered helicopter that can carry huge loads.
* UnstoppableMailman: Apart from his job for the Wizard, Louie is also Grundo's mail carrier. Thanks to his helicopter, he can get any mail to anywhere in Grundo.

!!King Nogburt's Castle
[[folder:In General]]
!!In General
The royal family of Grundo and their servants and courtiers live in a royal castle in the northwestern part of Grundo. Most of the castle's inhabitants are Illipers, but there are many Perloons too.
----
* BigFancyCastle: King Nogburt's castle is probably the fanciest building in all of Grundo.
* GhibliHills: Most Illipers and Perloons live at the castle or on the farms that surround it on three sides, but if you step out the front door, you'll see miles of unspoiled wilderness ahead of you.
* MedievalEuropeanFantasy: The castle looks like a medieval castle with a lot of nearby farmlands, and many of the residents speak with a British accent, although much of the rest of Grundo does not look very medieval.
* MedievalStasis: Subverted. Compared to Gimmick's house or the Hard to Find City, the castle's technology seems far behind, but in the Wizardweek arc, the Illipers have a biplane to enter the race, showing that they are more technologically advanced than they look.
* RecurringExtra: Nameless inhabitants of the castle are sometimes re-used to fill a crowd.
* StandardRoyalCourt: There's the royal family at the top, the army of castle guards to protect it, and the various domestic servants such as cooks, gardeners, and maids to keep it running. Then you have the more specialized roles, such as the CourtJester, the minstrel, the royal messenger, and the royal physician.
* WelcomingSong: The courtiers sing one for the Trio called "We Officially Welcome You" when they spot their Airship coming.
* YouAllLookFamiliar: The palace guards all look identical, with or without armor, though they have different voices. This allows the Trio to make a CloneArmy with the Duplicating Machine without looking too suspicious.

* HappilyMarried: They're clearly happy together after so many years.

* OldRetainer: He's an old man who claims to have served the royal family for countless years as their messenger.
* RetiredBadass: Not much is known about his backstory, but one or two things he says suggest that he used to be involved with the military.
* UnstoppableMailman: Despite his forgetfulness, he never stops his mission to deliver the right message to the right person, and he always comes through in the end.
* WakeUpFighting: When Grubby wakes him up suddenly in his first appearance, he thinks he's being attacked, so he jumps on Grubby's back and acts like he's in the cavalry.

The other most frequently seen race, mostly as sapient wildlife in the cartoon or as background singers on the cassette tapes. These small, furry creatures usually live near Rainbow Falls and get their colors from drinking its water. Recurring Fobs include Frank, Faye, and their three babies.
----
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Fobs often have first names that start with F, including Fuzz, Frank, and Faye. Some random Fob is apparently named Fred.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: They're naturally gray, but thanks to Rainbow Falls water, they come in all colors of the rainbow.
* AmbiguousGender: It's usually hard to tell if a Fob is male or female, since most lack Faye's TertiarySexualCharacteristics. We don't even know if Frank and Faye's babies are boys or girls.
* ArmlessBiped: Fobs have two feet but no arms.
* CivilizedAnimal: They are sapient, talk, use manmade objects, and may even [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal wear an accessory]], but they still live as wild animals or pets.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Faded Fobs" and "Uncle Grubby" focus on the Fobs.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In "Guests of the Grunges", a baby Fob looks like a miniature version of an adult. In later episodes, baby Fobs have undeveloped tails and antennae, shorter fur, and proportionately larger heads.
* EggshellClothing: One of the babies briefly wears an eggshell as a hat.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Fobs are chatty creatures who often take over talking for each other.
* FunPersonified: Fobs are very playful and energetic.
* GreekChorus: In the live-action special, their sole role is to notice what's going on and comment on it. They occasionally do it in the show too.
* TheImmune: Fobs can't get the Tweezles because Rainbow Falls water has a different effect on them.
* KeepingTheHandicap: Most Fobs hate when they lose their coloring without Rainbow Falls water, but "Autumn Adventure" reveals that some Fobs choose to stay a dull gray.
* MixAndMatchCritter: Fobs look kind of like a cross between a penguin and a guinea pig with an opossum's tail and a pair of antennae.
* MotorMouth: Fobs are very talkative. When one starts talking, they all join in and start talking over each other.
* PrehensileTail: Fobs don't have arms, but they can use their tails to grasp or carry things.

[[folder:The Wizard]]
!!The Wizard
->'''Voiced by:''' Tony Pope (books and special), John Koensgen (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "In the Fortress of the Wizard"
A strange man who calls himself a wizard but doesn't actually use magic, instead using a camera and projector to trick people into thinking he can see distant events. He's quite greedy and always looking for a way to make more money, but he's a much nicer person than his brother, the Sorcerer of Ying.
----
* AscendedExtra: He and Louie appear more in the cartoon than in the books and have major roles in some episodes.
* AshFace: When using a flame or rocket to start a race in Wizardweek, this usually happens to him.
* TheBarnum: While not as unscrupulous as his brother, the Wizard of Grundo does fool his customers and charges a lot for his services. Though he does genuinely try to make his customers happy and satisfied.
* BigBrotherBully: He's older than the Sorcerer, and the two hate each other and call each other insulting nicknames.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: The symbol on his hat is a stylized W for "Wizard".
* CoolOldGuy: Wooly thinks he's this. While he only seems to care about money, he does act like one at times.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The Wizardweek arc focuses more on him when he throws a sports festival to bring in money.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: In "To the Rescue", when Wooly knocks it on his door, he knocks it over right onto the Wizard and leaves him SquashedFlat.
* EmbarrassingNickname: The Sorcerer calls him "Stinky". He has one for the Sorcerer too, "Bucky".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When Teddy says that "the poor princess" needs their help, he says "''Poor'' princess? Forget it!" Gimmick clarifies that Aruzia is a rich but unfortunate princess, so the Wizard changes his mind and lets them in. And that's all you need to know about him.
* EurekaMoment: In "Wizardweek", after his destroyed amusement park left him broke and depressed, hearing the word "festival" gives him a brilliant idea: hold a sports festival to honor himself and charge admission fees.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone in Grundo calls him the Wizard. His name hasn't been revealed.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Sure, he's a greedy deceiver who only helps people if they pay, but unlike his evil brother, he never harms anyone, is fair to his customers, and the information he sells is true.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Literature/LandOfOz the Wizard of Oz]]. Both are fake wizards living in a fantasy country, using ordinary devices to pass themselves off as powerful wizards. There is even a ShoutOut to it when he says [[Film/TheWizardOfOz "That's a horoscope of a different color."]]
* {{Facepalm}}: Does this when Louie misunderstands him over their radio in his first appearance.
* FakeWizardry: The Wizard does this as a schtick to attract customers. His "magic eye" is just a movie projector screen, but the technology is so rare and obscure that it's easy to fool people. Despite his fakery, all the information he provides is as true as he can make it.
* GoodCounterpart: Compared to his brother, he's a much nicer person despite being similarly greedy. While the Sorcerer of Ying makes money by exploiting people in his zoo, the Wizard genuinely tries to entertain and help people.
* IAmSong: Wooly and Leota sing a song all about who he is and what he does in "To the Rescue".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's greedy and only seems to care about money, but he does have morals that his brother lacks. During Teddy's DisneyDeath, he mourns Teddy, and in the penultimate episode, [[spoiler:he officiates L.B. and Buffy's wedding]].
* KnowledgeBroker: His main source of income is providing information for a fee. While he uses deceit to pass it off as magic, at least the information is as accurate as he's able to give.
* LadiesAndGerms: Says "Ladies and gentlemonsters" when speaking to the monsters of Ying.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's not particular about who he helps if he gets paid.
* PhonyPsychic: The Wizard is an unusual subversion. While he's something of a con artist, the information he presents to his customers is true. He claims the images he shows are the results of his magic, but they're just footage filmed by Louie.
* PointyEars: His ears are pointy, a feature that most Perloons seem to lack.
* QuarrelingSong: In "Wizardland", he and his brother sing a song that is basically a debate about who's got the better tourist attraction.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he only works for money, he's a fair judge or umpire when he oversees sporting events.
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: He fires a cannon to start the Great Grundo Ground Race and gets recoiled backwards.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Always wears a blue robe and pointed blue hat with white suns, moons, and stars all over.
* SiblingRivalry: He and the Sorcerer take this to the next level. The Wizard opens a theme park called Wizardland right across the way from the Sorcerer's own attraction the Ying Zoo, and the two constantly compete for customers.
* SloganYellingMegaphoneGuy: He uses a megaphone to announce the attractions at Wizardland to draw his brother's customers away.
* SpeechImpediment: He is a Perloon, but instead of a stutter like Gimmick and Eunice, he talks with a slight lisp.
* SquashedFlat: In "Wizardland", when he declares his new theme park open for business, the customers trample all over him and leave him flat. He's back to normal in his next scene.
* SweetTooth: He admits that he has one in "Tweeg the Vegetable" when he tries some donuts from L.B.
* TrashTalk: He and the Sorcerer enjoy doing this to each other. And they use megaphones to do it.
* WizardBeard: He has a white beard like a lot of wizards, although shorter than most.
* WizardClassic: While he's not a real wizard, he looks and acts the part as much as he can. He wears a robe, pointed hat, and white beard and lives in a fortress in the wilderness.

* StrongAnts: She and her team aren't ants, but they fill the same role of ants carrying off picnic food.
* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: The rule of getting a new spot means that a ladybug must do her own good deed herself.

But at the Bug Fair, the announcer says that she made three new friends and gave up her last chance at a new spot to make sure they were happy, which is the best good deed anyone can do.

** One More: Purple with tan trim.

[[folder:Snowzos]]
!!Snowzos
->'''Voiced by:''' Various
->'''First appearance:''' "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos"
A race of yeti-like creatures who live north of the Land of Ying up in the snowy mountains.
----
* AmbiguouslyRelated: Wooly wonders if he and the first Snowzo he meets could be cousins. The Snowzo rolls with it.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Snowzos are a species of cat-tailed yeti-like creatures who dwell in the cold regions of Grundo.
* FaeriesDontBelieveInHumansEither: Gimmick spends most of their episode saying Snowzos are a myth. When he meets some Snowzos and introduces himself as a Perloon, one of the Snowzos says, "Everybody knows Perloons don't exist."
* GentleGiant: People are afraid of them because they're big and mysterious, but they're really very friendly.
* HiddenElfVillage: They live up in the mountains north of Ying and rarely come down because they can't stand warm weather.
* IAmSong: One of them sings "A Typical Giant Snowzo" to explain what he is.
* MistakenIdentity: Teddy and his friends initially mistake a Snowzo they have just met for their friend Wooly. Justified, since it turns out that Wooly is a Snowzo himself.
* NoNameGiven: None of them are named.
* OneShotCharacter: They only appear in "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos".
* OurCryptidsAreMoreMysterious: Based on the Yeti, a well-known cryptid, but also treated as a cryptid in-universe. There have been many alleged Snowzo sightings, but their existence has never been proven before their episode. The reason for this is that they avoid warm weather and only come down from their home when it gets cold enough.
* {{Snowlems}}: Subverted. When Tweeg sees a Snowzo for the first time, thanks to a series of circumstances, he's convinced that he's brought a snowman to life by magic. This turns out not to be the case, but Tweeg continues to believe it.

!Villains
!!Tweeg and L.B.
[[folder:In General]]
!!In General
The original main villains of the series. Tweeg is a half-Grunge, half-Troll who dreams of being the greatest villain in Grundo, while L.B. is his begrudging Bounder henchman. They appear in more episodes than any other characters except the Trio.
----
* ActuallyThatsMyAssistant: While disguised as painters in the castle, Queen Lillibet calls Tweeg L.B.'s assistant instead of the other way around because she thinks L.B. is doing a better job.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: They are introduced in the fourth book and tape ''Tweeg and the Bounders''. In the animated series, they are there from the start.
* AdultsDressedAsChildren: In "The Lemonade Stand", they disguise themselves as two little boys selling lemonade, dressing in old-fashioned sailor boy outfits. Tweeg is way taller than the Trio, but everyone is fooled anyway.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: Tweeg takes and L.B. gives. Tweeg makes L.B. do all the hard work and heavy lifting around the tower and puts off paying him as much as possible, yet L.B. never resigns.
* AmbiguousSyntax: When Tweeg thinks he's sick he says to L.B., "Call me a doctor!" "Okay, Twip. You're a doctor."
* ArtsyBeret: They wear berets as part of their disguise as painters to sneak into King Nogburt's castle.
* AscendedExtra: They only appear in a few of the books, but they appear in all but a few episodes of the series. Tweeg's desire to join M.A.V.O. is just mentioned in the books to give him a motive, but in this series, it's an ongoing story arc. L.B. also has character development, and his relationship Buffy is a subplot.
* AshFace: This tends to happen to them, but mostly to Tweeg, when the cannon doesn't fire properly.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: They don't often show it, but L.B. goes for help when Tweeg gets the Tweezles, goes to Ying to find him and bring him home, and later saves him from Quellor's henchmen when they tie him up. They also give each other holiday gifts, and [[spoiler:Tweeg also gives L.B. a wedding present when L.B. marries Buffy]].
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: This is how they see things. It's why Tweeg dreams of being a great villain and why L.B. sweet-talks his girlfriend with disgusting metaphors.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Tweeg, a Troll/Grunge hybrid, is a few times taller than L.B., a Bounder.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: When Tweeg's cannon fails to fire a cannonball, they (but mostly Tweeg) are prone to getting blasted backwards
* BoxedCrook: After Tweeg and L.B. fail Quellor, they're made prisoners, but they're the only ones at M.A.V.O. who have dealt with Teddy, so when Quellor gives them a chance to make up for their mistakes, they jump at the chance. Unfortunately, they Teddy and don't recover the Crystals, so it's back to scrubbing floors for them.
* BrainsAndBrawn: Tweeg describes their relationship this way in "Teddy and the Mudblups". Tweeg does the planning (badly), L.B. does the pulling (begrudgingly).
* BumblingHenchmenDuo: Once they begin working for Quellor, they become this. They were always a bumbling duo, but before, one was the other's henchman.
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: They constantly argue and annoy each other, but both have admitted that it's not the same when the other is not around.
* ChariotPulledByCats: L.B., a bounder, usually pulls Tweeg in his wagon.
* CheatersNeverProsper: No matter how many times they lie and cheat, they never seem to come out on top. It's occasionally subverted. In "Air and Water Races", Tweeg comes up with an idea to sabotage the competition by sewing them into their sleeping bags, allowing his team to get first, second, and third place in the synchronized swimming contest.
* CirclingBirdies: The "seeing stars" variant tends to happen to Tweeg when he gets knocked on the head. L.B. gets it too on occasion.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Tweeg's Mom" mostly focuses on them, while the Trio appear very little in the episode.
* DressedToPlunder: In "Captured", they briefly get to join the M.A.V.O. pirates dressed in pirate clothes.
* {{Expy}}: Tweeg and L.B. are expies of [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Dick]] [[WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines Dastardly and Muttley]]. L.B. occasionally laughs like Muttley, and Tweeg not only has his DickDastardlyStopsToCheat moments but he once said [[BorrowedCatchphrase "Drat, drat, and double drat"]].
* GoKartingWithBowser: In "Win One for the Twipper" and the Wizardweek arc, they compete against the Trio in sporting events.
* HumanSnowball: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", L.B. rolls down a hill in a big snowball, picking up Tweeg along the way.
* ICantHearYou: Near the end of "Double Grubby", the blast from Tweeg's cannon is so loud that it leaves them both saying, "Speak up! I can't hear you!" to each other at the same time.
* InstitutionalApparel: While they're prisoners of M.A.V.O. during the Anythings arc, they wear black-and-white striped outfits.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A sinister tune will often play when the camera points to or pulls into their tower.
* KarmaHoudini: In many episodes, they spend their time causing trouble and chaos without getting punished. Subverted mid-series when they disappoint Quellor one time too many and get clapped in irons.
* LiteralAssKicking: Tweeg kicks L.B. away in the rear end in "Musical Oppressors" when he wants him to go find the Black Box.
* MacGuffinBlindness: In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains"¸ they dismiss the Crystals that the Trio found as worthless pieces of glass, thinking that the real treasure is the room full of gold that they left behind. Double-subverted in "Grubby's Romance". Once they take a closer look at the Crystals, they think that they might be valuable...because they look like diamonds.
* MasterOfDisguise: Disguises seem to be the one thing they're always good at. From old ladies to little boys to smooth-talking businessmen, their ability to fool people knows no bounds.
* OhCrap: They get this reaction when something goes wrong. For example, when they follow the Trio into a cave in the Great Desert, they realize they're in trouble when they see Mudblups coming.
* PaperThinDisguise: Tweeg, being a unique hybrid, has a very distinct appearance, but people hardly ever see through his disguises unless he takes them off. But L.B. takes the cake. All he has to do is put on a hat and people are fooled.
* PetTheDog: Both are known to do acts that imply that they don't really hate each other. At the winter holiday season, for example, they give each other presents, although they agree to go back to being bad guys the next day.
* PluckyComicRelief: Tweeg's failed schemes and L.B.'s snark provide a lot of humor in the show. Both serve as each other's ButtMonkey, and they're the focus of comedic subplots of several episodes.
* PunishmentDetail: When Tweeg and L.B. are made prisoners of M.A.V.O., they're forced to spend their time washing floors and doing laundry.
* RegularCharacter: In the animated series, they are only absent from a handful of the sixty-five episodes.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: They are both each other's favorite target for derogatory remarks.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: They constantly insult and annoy each other, making you wonder why they put up with the situation for so long.
* UnexpectedSuccessor: Both briefly serve as the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O., but neither of them sees it coming. The rules say that the Supreme Oppressor must always possess the Black Box, so just getting a hold of it puts them into the position.
* VillainDecay: While they were never that threatening to begin with, their failed attempts at evil deeds began to wear thin by the middle of the series. Around this time, the writers put more focus on Quellor and the rest of M.A.V.O., who were genuinely dangerous villains.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Emphasis on the vitriolic part. Despite their bickering, they stick together.
* WorkingOnTheChainGang: During their time as M.A.V.O. prisoners, they get chained together at the ankles and are forced to clean M.A.V.O. Headquarters.
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Any time L.B. gets Tweeg's name right, it means something. He says it to Tweeg's face twice in the series: once when Tweeg thinks he's seriously sick, and once with the rest of the Bounders as holiday gift. Tweeg is very touched by the latter.

[[folder:Jack W. Tweeg]]
!!Jack W. Tweeg
->'''Voiced by:''' Will Ryan (books and special), John Koensgen (series)
->'''First appearance:''' "The Treasure of Grundo"
Tweeg was the Trio's first antagonist. He wants more than anything to be accepted into the Monsters and Villains Organization, but he's just not evil enough. He lives in a tall tower in Gimmick's valley and is constantly trying to run Gimmick out of the valley, so he can claim it all for himself. He is constantly trying to perfect a formula for turning buttermilk into gold.
----
* AccidentalAimingSkills: The first time his cannon hits something, he was aiming for Gimmick's house as usual, but instead he hits Mrs. Maggotheart's collection wagon. The other time, he's trying to take the Airship out of the final Wizardweek race, but he ends up hitting his mother's vehicle.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the books, Tweeg was kicked out of the evil land of Ying for not being evil enough. The cartoon establishes him as the Grundo-born son of a Grunge and a Troll and makes no reference to him ever being in Ying before the series.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: It's a RunningGag. He's had boxes, cannonballs, and other things land on his foot in "The Faded Fobs", "Sign of a Friend", "The Crystal Book," "The Black Box", and "A Race to the Finish".
* AintTooProudToBeg: On several occasions, he's willing to get down on the floor and beg Quellor or his mother to have mercy.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: When Tweeg zaps himself by the Black Box, he doesn't act villainous anymore.
* AmusingInjuries: Tweeg falls victim to a lot of these. Sometimes he's HoistByHisOwnPetard, sometimes L.B. puts it on him, and sometimes things just happen.
* AmusinglyAwfulAim: Tweeg regularly bombards Newton Gimmick's house with a cannon from his tower. However, Tweeg's aim is so bad that there is a neat, clean ring of cannonballs all around Newton's house.
* AnythingButThat: The worst possible fate imaginable to him is being locked in a room with the M.A.V.O. dues collector.
* BaitAndSwitchComment: He does this twice in "The Great Grundo Ground Race". Before the race starts, he says, "I've never challenged Mummy before. I'm afraid it might upset her." [...] "Upset her when I leave her sucking dust at the finish line!" Later, when L.B. helps him escape the capture of Quellor's henchmen, he says, "I never thought I'd thank you for anything, L.B." [...] "So I won't."
* BalconyEscape: He climbs out his window down his balcony at one point, so he won't have to face Mrs. Maggotheart when she comes over. The rope breaks.
* BaldOfEvil: He's a villain who's bald. It's not clear why. Both his parents have a head full of hair, yet a cross between their races doesn't.
* BareHandedPuppetry: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he dresses his hand as an Elf named Tweegle and draws on a face so he can cause trouble in the Elf and Woodsprite Village.
* BecauseISaidSo: His usual response when L.B. asks why he has to do a certain task.
* BerserkButton: Cannot ''stand it'' when people mess up his name. Of course, L.B. loves to deliberately do this just for kicks.
* BetrayalByOffspring: He sells his own mother out to the Mudblup King so he and L.B. can escape from prison.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite his status as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, Tweeg has twice nearly managed to start a war; once between the formerly friendly Elves and Woodsprites, and again between M.A.V.O. and the Gutangs. His actions were only stopped at the last minute both times.
* BigBadEnsemble: Part of one along with Quellor, the Mudblup King, the Sorcerer, and the Gutangs. All are independent villains of each other.
* BigBadWannabe: He dreams of being the greatest villain in Grundo, even becoming Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O., but his schemes usually blow up in his face.
* BigDamnReunion: [[spoiler:In "Father's Day", he reunites with his father when his father comes to meet him.]]
* BlankSlate: After he's had his memory erased by the Black Box, he is left with no thoughts and no personality. When Gimmick tries to use the Crystal Stethoscope on him, it doesn't register any personality traits at all.
* BlessedWithSuck: Being a cross between a Troll and a Grunge has its problems. He has his mother's evil morals but his father's skills, so he can't be both happy and successful.
* BlowingARaspberry: In the Wizardweek ground race, after the Elves and Woodsprites fix his sabotage, he blows them one in frustration.
* {{Bouncer}}: During L.B.'s reign as Supreme Oppressor, he becomes the new gatekeeper and is forced to deal with the riffraff of monsters that try to come in.
* BoundAndGagged:
** In "Uncle Grubby", when he's put on trial at M.A.V.O., he's chained up in court. He's then gagged so he can't defend himself because no M.A.V.O. trial is a fair one.
** In "Winter Adventure", Quellor's henchmen come to his tower and tie him up so they can get his gold formula. They skip the gag, though, because then he can't tell them what they want him to know.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: He often monograms his things with a big T for Tweeg.
* BuffySpeak: When he has some catapults built for war with the Gutangs, he calls them "springy things". When L.B. clarifies that they're called catapults, Tweeg thinks he's thinking of caterpillars.
* CaptivityHarmonica: Plays one after being thrown in the M.A.V.O. dungeon. After being fed up with being locked up, he throws it in frustration.
* CardCarryingVillain: Or card-carrying villain wannabe. In Grundo, villains usually refer to themselves as villains, including Tweeg.
* CatchYourDeathOfCold: After being caught in a sudden downpour in his burned-down house, his next scene has him sneezing under a blanket with his feet in hot water.
* TheChewToy: He never seems to stop being a source of comedic pain.
* TheChosenWannabe: Played with. In "The Faded Fobs", he thinks he's the Chosen One when tells L.B. that his destiny is to rule Grundo, but in-universe, there is no Chosen One, and the only prophecy is the ancient M.A.V.O. lore about spreading darkness across Grundo with the Crystals.
* ChronicVillainy: In the last few episodes, he seems like he's leaving villainy to follow in his father's footsteps, but the sight of Elroy's surfing winnings reminds him: once an evil genius, always an evil genius.
* ClassyCane: In some of his disguises, he dresses as a gentleman holding an old-fashioned cane.
* ClothingDamage: Notable for how it's accomplished. After accidentally blasting himself with the black box, the now mindless Tweeg wanders off from the Hard to Find City in a ditzy daze. Next time we see him, the collar of his robe is missing, the sleeves are in tatters, and his ankles are exposed due to the damage being out in the wild has done.
* ComplimentBackfire: Eleanor sets him up to fall for this. When she accuses him of calling her a liar, he denies that, but then, she gets offended by the notion that she's ''not'' a liar.
* ConMan: Swindling and cheating are explicitly in the M.A.V.O. list of required bad deeds. He does manage to do this in a couple of episodes, although he gets his comeuppance.
* ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his recipe for making gold out of buttermilk.
* CoolCrown: In a couple of {{Imagine Spot}}s, he fantasizes about wearing a royal crown. He actually gets one when he becomes the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O. for a while.
* CranialEruption: In "Thin Ice", when he opens the door while Mrs. Maggotheart is hammering a poster to it, she accidentally bops him on the head and gives him one.
* CreepyCrossdresser: He's a MasterOfDisguise, and a few of his disguises involve him dressing as a woman.
* CripplingTheCompetition: During a Grungeball game, when his team is losing bigtime, he tricks the Grunges into eating plants that give them awful stomachaches, and in Wizardweek, the only reason his team wins one event is he makes sure the other players can't get out of bed.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: His alleged gold recipe only ever comes out with buttermilk donuts. L.B. eventually figures out that he and the Bounders could make money if they started selling the donuts and only abandon the idea when L.B. thinks that the formula has worked. But even if selling donuts occurred to Tweeg, he probably wouldn't do it. Running an honest business wouldn't score any points with M.A.V.O.
* DastardlyWhiplash: Tweeg is known to wear a black outfit and moustache in his schemes, and is an {{Expy}} of Dick Dastardly.
* {{Determinator}}: You've got to give him credit. He sure doesn't give up his dream.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: After crossing a bridge during a race, Tweeg stopped to destroy it and even waited to see how the Wooly What's-It would cross it. And he wasn't even on the lead.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He does this all the time.
* DisappearedDad: Well, sort of; Tweeg's father Elroy didn't so much "disappear" as he got divorced from (kicked out by) Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, who retained custody of their son. Tweeg knew he was still alive, but never met up with him until episode 61, "Father's Day"; they do get on very well, but, ultimately, Tweeg has too much of his mother in him and he ultimately leaves his dad in shame.
* DisguisedInDrag: Sometimes he disguises himself as a woman, including his first disguise ever in "In the Fortress of the Wizard".
* DisproportionateRetribution: He decides to go to war against the Gutangs when their ambassador says that they can't afford the new subscription rate of ''True Villainy''.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: Another RunningGag. Eleanor did it in "Tweeg's Mom" and "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups",
* DoWrongRight: He pulls this on himself, knowing getting into M.A.V.O. means successfully filling a list of bad deeds. L.B. says that since he always fails at that, maybe he could try doing right wrong!
* DramaticDrop: In Wizardweek, while trying to make a magic potion, L.B. catches him by surprise and makes him drop and break the beaker.
* DrunkWithPower: After he becomes the Supreme Oppressor, he goes so mad with power that he actually declares war on the Gutangs. This time, he goes so far that L.B. betrays him and helps Quellor get back into power.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Tweeg desperately wants to be taken seriously as a villain, but nobody gives him even the slightest credit. Even his own minions mock him. To his ''face''.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: To Tweeg, anyway; his full name is actually Jack W. Tweeg. We never do find out what the "W" stands for, so it is possible he also has an EmbarrassingMiddleName.
* EmbarrassinglyPainfulSunburn: While lying on the beach in one episode, he ignores his father's advice to put on some lotion and gets a terrible sunburn on his nose.
* EmbodimentOfVice: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him in disguise, the Crystal says the trait he embodies is greed.
* EntertaininglyWrong: When he spies on the Trio, sees that they're cooking something with buttermilk and flour, and remembers how L.B., who is a jerk and a troublemaker to him, hasn't gotten any money from him in ages, he concludes that L.B. must have sold his gold recipe to Gimmick. The Trio are just baking cookies.
* EpicFlail: He tries to use a flail in "The Crystal Book", but he accidentally breaks his mother's mirror with it and drops it on his foot. So, EpicFail of Epic Flail.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Zig-zagged. He outright says that he loves her in "Tweeg's Mom". For the rest of the series, it's questionable whether what he feels for her is genuine love, although he still wants to make her proud.
* EvilGenius: He calls himself all the time, although the genius part is questionable at best.
* EvilIsHammy: Tweeg loves bragging, ChewingTheScenery, and being the center of attention.
* EvilIsPetty: He does all kinds of petty things, such as belittling his employees, refusing to thank people who help him, and not brushing his teeth. It's established in-universe that to be a proper villain, you have to do both major and minor bad deeds.
* EvilKnockoff: In "Win One for the Twipper", he becomes one for Newton Gimmick called Winston Tweeter, wearing the exact same outfit and even having the same stutter.
* EvilLaugh: He often does this when he's happy or thinks he's being clever.
* FaintInShock: At the end of his trial in "Uncle Grubby", M.A.V.O. gives him a second chance to complete his checklist, but to make sure he does it right, they assign L.B. as his supervisor, which makes him faint.
* FakingAmnesia: After getting his memory restored by the Black Box in "The Big Escape", he pretends to still have amnesia for a little while to take advantage of Eleanor and L.B.
* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: He actually manages to cheat Grundo's people out of a lot of money with his Rainbow Falls water scheme, but the Trio trick him into giving the money back by making thinking he'll be even richer.
* ForgotToMindTheirHead: While working his Wizardweek chariot, L.B. calls out to him, causing him to bump his head under the chariot.
* FreudianExcuse: Tweeg sings a song about how his mother always abused him as a child and made him into the rotten guy he is today.
* GetOut: Tells this to the Bounders when he thinks that L.B. leaked out his gold formula to the Trio.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Sometimes, L.B. will make a suggestion and Tweeg will pretend he thought of it himself, such as giving everyone the Tweezles and selling a fake cure in "The Lemonade Stand".
* GoldFever: If there's gold to be had, he's got to have it. He blows a lot of his money on buying buttermilk and flour because he thinks he has a recipe for turning it into gold.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Once, he lifts his robe to reveal orange boxers with white spots.
* GotMeDoingIt: In "In the Fortress of the Wizard" and "The Medicine Wagon", after hearing L.B. call him "Tweek" or "Tweeze" too many times, he accidentally calls himself that.
* GrapesOfLuxury: After he is declared the new Supreme Oppressor, the first thing he orders after having Quellor locked up is for Mrs. Maggotheart to peel grapes for him to eat.
* {{Greed}}: He'll do anything if it means getting rich. In "The Crystal Book", Gimmick's new invention the Crystal Stethoscope reveals that greed is a key trait of his.
* GreedMakesYouDumb: He'll commit any act of villainy to make a quick bit of gold, but sometimes, his greed is undoing. In "The Rainbow Mine", the Trio use this against him to get back everyone's money by making him think it'll make him richer. Then, when he briefly becomes Supreme Oppressor, he commits war against the Gutangs [[SillyReasonForWar when they refuse to pay the new subscription rate for a magazine]].
* GreenAndMean: He's bright green and a villain. He gets it from his Troll mother.
* GreenEyedMonster: Tweeg's vendetta against Gimmick is solely due to the fact that Gimmick is a brilliant inventor and creates many marvelous inventions, whilst Tweeg's perpetual quest to create a formula that will turn buttermilk into gold has never succeeded.
* HairTriggerAvalanche: When he fires his cannon in the winter, the noise causes an avalanche that buries him and his tower.
* HarmlessLadyDisguise: For his first disguise in the show, he dresses as a little old lady and asks for their help. The Trio don't suspect the disguised Tweeg, though they admit that "she" is a little strange.
* HatesTheirParent: While he wants to make her proud, you can't call it affection. When he realizes his mother was in a dream he had, he calls it a nightmare.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: In "Father's Day", Tweeg actually considers giving up on villainy and committing to the Surf Grunge lifestyle he actively enjoys... but, upon seeing his father's championship winnings, he can't resist his mother's training and steals them. When his dad catches him out with them, Tweeg gives them back in shame at hurting his dad and then returns to his tower, resigning himself to villainy.
* HiddenDepths: When reunited with his father, after being given an opportunity to practice, Tweeg turns out to be a natural surfer.
* HighHopesZeroTalent: All he really wants to be is a great villain like his mother, but since his talents come from his father's side, he's not very good at villainy.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Often, it's his own fault that his schemes fail because he doesn't think things through. Once he tries to use the Black Box against Quellor, only to erase his own memories because he doesn't know how to aim it.
* {{Hypochondria}}: During the Tweezle episode, he turns red with blue spots. Okay, viable reason to think you're sick. But then he starts to think he's getting other symptoms that he never had like a fever. At the end of the episode, he and the Trio sing a song about how your attitude can affect how healthy you feel.
* IAmSong: "The Black Box", he sings "I'm Tweeg" which is basically him singing about what his name is and the proper way to say it. The next episode, he gets another called "I'm the Supreme Oppressor".
* ICantLookGesture: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge ransack his tower looking for the gold formula, he scrunches his eyes and tries to look away.
* IHaveYourWife: He kidnaps Fuzz, Gimmick's pet Fob, and leaves a threatening note saying that if the Trio don't leave the valley by sundown, they'll never see him again.
* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: When he sees the result of Gimmick PalatePropping L.B., he complains, "Why am I always pulling things out of your mouth? I'm a villain, not a dentist."
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: He's not called the world's worst shot for nothing. He's so terrible at aiming his cannon that Gimmick outright states the safest place to be when Tweeg starts shooting is right where he's aiming for. He's even taken to writing "return to Tweeg" on all his cannonballs because he loses that many of them.
* InaneBlabbering: After he has his memories erased, he can only babble at first. He's gradually able to speak coherently, but he still knows nothing until his memories are returned.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: For all his antagonistic role, Tweeg just... isn't a very good villain. Even InUniverse, his "enemies" see him as more of a nuisance than an actual threat. Episode 61 actually implies Tweeg would really be happier if he gave villainy up, but he can't think of anything else to do with himself.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", Tweeg comes to the conclusion that since snowballs are sparkly, and so are the Crystals, this means the Crystals are made of snow.
* InsistentTerminology: In "The Crystal Book", he tells his mother he's not whining. He's whimpering.
* InsultBackfire: When Bognostroclum pulls a BaitAndSwitchComment that ends with insulting him, Tweeg responds that he has no time for flattery. And during the Wizardweek parade, when the crowd boos Tweeg, he takes it to mean they love him.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Tweeg hates the fact that M.A.V.O. has been hunting him like a common villain. Because he's not common, he's a ''master'' villain!
* TheKlutz: He's a real bungler in what he does and tends to be a victim of amusing injuries.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Tweeg thinks he's a genius and brags about it, but he's not nearly as clever as he thinks. Apparently, he thinks the larvae of butterflies are called catapults.
* LadiesAndGerms: He introduces his phony rainmaking machine by saying "Illipers and Perloons, Grundonians and Nogburtniks".
* LampshadeWearing: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", after he sneaks into Gimmick's house, he puts on a lampshade and pretends to be a lamp so he won't be noticed.
* LastNameBasis: Everyone calls him Tweeg. In fact, even his own parents don't call him Jack, though they often affectionately call him Tweegie.
* LateToTheRealization: Sometimes he takes a minute to realize something. For example, in the live-action special, L.B. has to tell him multiple times while he's busy feeling sorry for himself that the Airship is landing.
* LeanAndMean: He's tall, thin, and villainous.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he tricks the Elves and the Woodsprites into fighting, since the M.A.V.O. list of bad deeds includes starting a fight between perfectly good friends. He tries it again between Gimmick and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups", but Teddy solves the disagreement quickly.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Inverted. Not only does he prefer to take after his mother, but he also goes by her last name. Grunges don't have last names, though, so Elroy took Eleanor's when they married.
* LiteralMinded: When Louie visits Tweeg's lemonade stand, he orders a lemonade "on the rocks". Tweeg shrugs and dumps some lemonade on the ground.
* LivingMuseumExhibit: The Sorcerer's minions find him without his memory and deliver him to their boss, who presents him as "The Troll-Grunge with No Brain."
* LyingFingerCross: In "Wizardweek", when Teddy wishes him good luck, he crosses his fingers behind his back while he wishes him the same.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Not only does L.B. do it to Tweeg, Tweeg also does it to Teddy, calling him such names as "Teddy Dustbin" or "Teddy Rucksack".
* ManipulativeBastard: He can be this when he wants to be. He manages to manipulate the Mudblup King into letting him go by making the king think Eleanor will marry the king, and later manipulates Quellor into letting him keep his memory in exchange for the (fake) gold formula.
* MathematiciansAnswer: When Quellor asks if he acquired the Crystals by stealing or treachery, Tweeg just gives a nervous "Yes." Quellor is pleased with this answer.
* MedicineShow: In "The Medicine Wagon", he opens one to sell his phony Tweezle remedy, even getting the Bounders to do a song and dance number like a commercial.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: It's never revealed what the W stands for.
* NeverMyFault: Whenever one of his plans doesn't work, he insists that it must be L.B.'s fault.
* NoListeningSkills: He never listens to L.B. has a helpful suggestion and just brushes off L.B.'s warning that things will go wrong.
* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, is a Troll, whilst his father, Elroy, is a Surf Grunge.
* NonPromotion: Eleanor, in a rare moment of kindness, recommends Tweeg for the new keeper of the gate. Tweeg is thrilled at first because it means he's an important member of M.A.V.O. but comes to hate it when he realizes how much work it involves.
* NoSenseOfDirection: When he and L.B. fall from the ''Eclipse'' and land in the water, he insists that they're swimming in the right direction to land. The shore is right behind them without them even knowing it.
* NosyNeighbor: He's always using his telescope to spy on Gimmick's house from up in his tower, thinking that Gimmick is up to something.
* NotQuiteDead: After the ''Eclipse'' sinks into the water, Quellor wonders if Tweeg went down with it. The next scene is a shot of him and L.B. swimming away.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Although he never succeeds at doing anything too villainous, Tweeg also has a fairly ruthless streak. He actually ''sold his own mother'' to the Mudblup King as a bride in return for a trunk full of gems[[note]]although he knew the King was in love with his mother, and she herself was willing to go along with it once Tweeg thought to bribe her[[/note]], and once abducted Gimmick's pet Fob, Fuzz, in order to blackmail Gimmick into leaving the valley.
* OldTimeyBathingSuit: He wears a blue-and-yellow-striped one in "Air and Water Races".
* OpportunisticBastard: He loves to seize any opportunity that pops up to get rich or commit an evil deed. Unfortunately, he doesn't think long-term, just focusing on the opportunity itself, so it rarely goes well.
* TheParanoiac: He's got more than enough criteria to count:
** NeverMyFault: He blame others, mostly L.B., when one of his plans goes wrong while [[GladIThoughtOfIt taking credit for L.B.'s good ideas]].
** [[JadeColoredGlasses Suspiciousness / Cynicism]]: He's very suspicious of the Trio, assumes that they're out to get him, and believes that he has to lie and cheat to get what he wants.
** {{Jerkass}}: He rarely cares about anyone but himself.
** [[{{Narcissist}} Self-Importance]]: He thinks he's a genius and that it's his destiny to be the richest and greatest villain in Grundo.
** ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his gold formula.
* PatchworkKids: He's half-Troll, half-Grunge and looks it. He has the tall, humanoid build of a Grunge but has his mother's green Troll skin. And while he follows his mother's morality, he gets his father's talents.
* PieInTheFace: When M.A.V.O. finally gets the Crystals, the monsters are so happy that they have fun throwing pies around the meeting room. One hits Tweeg.
* PlotAllergy: Complains when he gets covered in strawberry juice that strawberries give him a rash.
* PolkaDotDisease: Subverted. He wakes up one morning having turned red with blue dots all over and thinks he has this. L.B. calls the condition the Tweezles. After the Trio try to help him, they figure it out that skin only changed because he drank Rainbow Falls water.
* PowderGag: In "Double Grubby", when his cannon misfires, the ball lands on the flour bag L.B. stole and leaves him covered with flour. It makes him look like an Illiop.
* ThePrankster: He turns into one in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball". When forced to greet party guests at the door, he does so with practical jokes. Apparently, M.A.V.O.'s spell of evil even made him be a better bad guy.
* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: He wears a dark purple robe. The ambiguity of purple is fitting for a guy who [[EvilWearsBlack wants to be a villain]] but [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain never quite makes it]].
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: This sometimes happens him when he fires his cannon. Since he lives at the top of a tower, he's prone to riding his cannon backwards down his long spiral staircase.
* RemovingTheRival: One of his favorite tactics in a competition is this. During a Grungeball game, he gives some of the other team a stomachache, allowing his own team to catch up, and in Wizardweek, the only event his team won was the synchronized swimming because he sabotaged all the other teams.
* ReplacedWithReplica: In "Winter Adventure", the Bounders help him escape Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge by replacing him with a dummy.
* TheRival: He sees his relationship with Gimmick as this, though they play it straighter during sporting events when they compete against each other.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: He's green and wears purple. At one point, it's revealed that he wears orange underwear, completing the set.
* ShamedByAMob: [[spoiler:After L.B. gives his wedding vows to Buffy]], Tweeg says, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." The guests glare at him angrily.
* SharpDressedMan: Some of his disguises have him dressed in a suit and tie to look like a respectable businessman.
* SissyVillain: He's really skinny, crossdresses multiple times in the series, and has a voice that sounds like it never aged properly.
* SlipperySkid: In "King Nogburt's Castle", he runs onto his balcony, steps on one of his cannonballs, and rolls and crashes right through his railing.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He calls himself an EvilGenius, but he's not nearly as smart (or for that matter as evil) as he thinks he is. The times when he actually knows what he's doing in his schemes are few and far between.
* SmartBall: Tweeg manages to catch the smart ball several times in the series by coming up with legitimately good ideas. These include tricking the Trio into letting him ride up to the Hard to Find City in disguise, swindling them into buying phony medicine from him, manipulating Quellor into letting him keep his restored memory, and engineering his own escape from jail ''by selling out his own mother!''
* SmugSnake: A villain who thinks he's way better than he really is. He often looks smug until his plans turn sideways.
* SnakeOilSalesman: One of his favorite ways to get quick cash, either by selling dubious knickknacks imagined problems or a largely harmless "cure-all" potion that gives its drinkers spots.
* SodaCanShakeup: After stealing Grubby's root beer recipe and selling it as "Villain Up", the customers want a little more fizz. So shakes a whole barrel of it as much as he can, and it explodes, splashing everyone.
* SpeechImpediment: When dressed as a little boy selling lemonade, he uses a fake impediment to make him sound more childish, somewhere between a mild lisp and mild ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
* StaircaseTumble: He's prone to falling down his staircase. And since he lives at the top of the tower with a long, spiraling stone staircase, it's a long and painful fall.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Any time he looks like he's going to succeed doesn't last long. At one point, he becomes Supreme Oppressor, only to lose the spot by the end of the next episode.
* StickyFingers: Stealing is one of the things he has to do to join M.A.V.O. When he visits his mother and she opens her safe, he snatches a ruby. She catches him in the act but comments that he's got the right idea.
* StupidestThingIveEverHeard: He says just this about [[spoiler:L.B.'s wedding vows to Buffy]], which are really just a piece of bad poetry. The other guests give Tweeg a DeathGlare.
* SurferDude: He tries to adopt this lifestyle to bond with his father and picks up the slang quickly, although he eventually goes back to being a villain.
* TakingCandyFromABaby: This is on the checklist of bad deeds for someone who wants to join M.A.V.O. He even forces L.B. to stand in for a baby for practice. At one point, he does steal candy from baby Fobs, but Wooly was there at the time and angrily forces him to give it back.
* TallyMarksOnThePrisonWall: While locked up in "Autumn Adventure". It's parodied because he's actually marking off the minutes.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Apart from the Rainbow Falls lemonade fiasco, he hides a special plant that causes a belly ache in some hot dogs and tricks the Grunges into eating them.
* TemptingFate: In "Beware of the Mudblups", he swears he'll get the best of Gimmick one day. "May I be struck from above if I don't." He immediately gets struck by some root stew that was dumped overboard the Airship.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: In some episodes, he announces it, such as in "Tweeg Gets the Tweezles" when he says he feels a song coming on.
* ThatsAnOrder: When he forces L.B. to scrape the slime off the bottom of the ''Eclipse'', he says that he's ordering and not asking him to do it.
* ThisMeansWar: During his brief reign as the Supreme Oppressor, he says this to the Gutang Ambassador.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Despite his many failures, occasionally, he manages to actually do something nasty that works. In "Teddy and the Mudblups", he sells out his own mother to the Mudblup King, which is a triple whammy for his checklist of bad deeds.
* TrappedTheWrongTarget: When he finds out that there's a reward for capturing Teddy, he tries to find him with a net. He hears someone coming and catches L.B. by mistake.
* TheUnFavourite: He's actually an only child, and he still manages to be this in his mother's eyes.
* UngratefulBastard: One episode had Tweeg believing he had some horrible disease. The Trio, at L.B.'s request, came to the tower to help and offered folk remedies. Finally, Gimmick figured out that Tweeg had been drinking water from Rainbow Falls. Rather than be thankful his "disease" is just a temporary discoloration, Tweeg throws a fit, demanding Gimmick and company leave his tower and accusing them of using this as an opportunity to torture him and learn his secrets.
* VillainousMotherSonDuo: With his mother Eleanor, whenever they manage to get on the same page. She will not miss a chance to berate and belittle him, but Eleanor is quite supportive of her son's villainous career and will express pride when he manages to pull off a dastardly plan (one example being when he sold her to the Mudblup King for his own freedom and a truck of jewels).
* WalkingDisasterArea: He's such a bungler that you can count episodes where he doesn't cause disaster on one hand.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Part of the reason Tweeg is driven to become a great villain is to make his mother proud. Even little things like hearing her call him "son" fill him with joy.
* WhosLaughingNow: When he briefly becomes the new Supreme Oppressor, he basks in it by getting back at others, throwing Quellor in the dungeon and forcing Mrs. Maggotheart to feed him GrapesOfLuxury.
* WingdingEyes: After he has his memory erased, he has spirals or circles around his pupils.
* WordSchmord: In "The Black Box", Tweeg says "Screwdriver Schmewdriver" because what L.B. stole is more important than the tool he needed before.
* XanatosSpeedChess: When he quickly changes their cover from portrait painters to housepainters to infiltrate the castle, he explains to L.B. that part of being a good villain is adjusting your plans.
* YoureInsane: When M.A.V.O. is short on funds and Mrs. Maggotheart suggests selling M.A.V.O.'s gold and jewels, then-Supreme Oppressor Tweeg calls her a nut.

!!L.B.
->'''Voiced by:''' Tony Pope (books and special), Robert Bockstael (series)

The long-suffering minion to Tweeg, L.B. (Lead Bounder) is a sarcastic little creature who loves nothing more than to snipe at Tweeg every chance he gets.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Fuzz acts like a DefiantCaptive by {{troll}}ing Tweeg, L.B. finds it hilarious.
* AdaptationDyeJob: The tuft of hair around his horn is yellow in the books, brown in the live-action special, and pink in the cartoon.
* AffablyEvil: L.B.'s a villain but not really a bad guy. Ironically, the only one he's really mean to is his boss. At least he and Teddy manage to get along late in the series.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: In "The Hard to Find City", Tweeg responds to L.B.'s smart remark by stepping on his foot.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: L.B. ransacks Gimmick's house so he can steal the Crystals for Tweeg.

* ArmlessBiped: All Bounders have no arms.
* AsideGlance: He occasionally looks or speaks in the direction of the viewer, making him the only character to break the fourth wall.
* BeachKiss: In "On the Beaches", [[spoiler:after L.B. proposes to Buffy, they kiss and are struck by a wave, which makes their kiss seem more powerful]].
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason why he manages to become a FriendlyEnemy to Teddy is because Teddy treated him a lot nicer than any villain ever did. Teddy even saved his life.
* BeleagueredAssistant: L.B. is constantly put upon, cleaning house, pulling the wagon, and basically doing whatever his boss tells him to. Rarely does Tweeg show any appreciation for what he does, let alone even pay him. L.B. grumbles but never seems to quit.
* BenevolentBoss: L.B. during his brief run as the head of M.A.V.O., his first (and only) major order is to hold a massive party and invite all members across Grundo to attend. He is also this to the gang of Bounders, even going using his wedding present to give them the backpay they're owed from Tweeg when he could have easily kept it.
* BerserkButton: L.B. constantly puts up with getting insulted and abused by Tweeg, but in "Anything in the Soup", when Tweeg insult L.B.'s girlfriend, that is going too far.
* BizarreAlienLimbs: Since Bounders have no hands, they often use their horns as hooks to carry things.
* BlowingARaspberry: Does this to Eleanor in "Tweeg's Mom" after she calls him an overgrown tomato.
* BouncingBattler: Being a Bounder, he's known to attack this way. In the first episode, he has his team attack Teddy and Grubby this way.
* CallousnessTowardsEmergency: In "The Great Grundo Ground Race", when he sees Tweeg stuck in a quicksand pit, instead of trying to help, he and his gang decide to stand, watch, and sing a barbershop song about how he's sinking.
* CharacterDevelopment: One of the few villains who receive it. At the start, he shows no love for the good guys, but by the end of the series, he has become a bit of a FriendlyEnemy to Teddy.
* ComedicSociopathy: Whenever Tweeg falls, gets hit by something, or any other funny injury, L.B. can only stand there and laugh madly.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Even though L.B.'s funny remarks are usually just him being a smartass to his boss, there are times when he misses the point of what Tweeg says. Sometimes, he misses the point ''because'' he's being a smartass:
-->'''Tweeg:''' There must be something I can do wrong! What am I doing right?\\
'''L.B.:''' You ain't doing nothing right.\\
'''Tweeg:''' No, no, L.B.! I want to [[DoWrongRight do something wrong right]]!\\
'''L.B.:''' How about if you did something right wrong?
* ComplimentBackfire: In "The Faded Fobs", when Tweeg calls him a good Bounder for obeying his orders, L.B. claims there's no such thing as a ''good'' Bounder.
* DangerThinIce: In "Teddy's Quest", while trying to make his way through the snow, he has to cross a frozen, and the ice breaks. He would have died if Teddy wasn't around to save him.
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially when dealing with Tweeg.
* DestinationDefenestration: After Quellor returns, Black Box in hand, to reclaim his position of power, he kicks L.B. out the window.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: In "Wizardland", Eleanor answers her door and slams it into him.
* DragonAscendant: Accidentally managed to become the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O., making him (temporarily) Tweeg's boss. Tweeg handled it with about as much grace as you'd expect from him.
* DreamWalker: In "King Nogburt's Castle", L.B. appears to physically jump into Tweeg's dream (presented as a thought bubble) to wake him up.
* DudeWheresMyReward: L.B. often complains about how Tweeg doesn't pay him for months at a time. Then, after he goes to work for Quellor, he complains that he hasn't received a reward for helping Quellor get his power back. Quellor says the reward is the privilege of working for him.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: For all the work he does for Tweeg, the latter rarely shows any appreciation for it, just treating him like a servant whose purpose is for him to kick around.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Unlike his boss, he seems to genuinely love his mother when she shows up.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The focus of a song as L.B. could not for the life of him figure out why the Trio were willing to take care of a sick Tweeg. He also didn't understand why Teddy saved him from drowning in a frozen pond either. Subverted near the end after L.B. pays Teddy back, L.B. comments to himself that it felt nice doing a good deed.
* EvilCannotStandCuteness: L.B. hates Fobs because they're so nice, cute, and helpful.
* EyepatchOfPower: When they join the M.A.V.O. pirates on the ''Eclipse'', L.B. wears one to look DressedToPlunder.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When he breaks through the river ice in the middle of winter and finds himself unable to escape, he prepares to accept his fate in the most dignified way he can.
* FirstNameBasis: By the last major story arc, he's started calling Teddy by his first name, cementing their FriendlyEnemy relationship.
* FriendlyEnemy: He works for Tweeg, but he doesn't really consider Gimmick or the others to be his actual enemies; [[PunchClockVillain he's simply doing his job]]. Late in the series, it's implied that he and Teddy could actually be friends if L.B. wasn't working for a villain.
* TheGadfly: Mostly towards Tweeg. He makes wisecracks at his expense because he loves to get a rise out of him.
* GettingTheBoot: After he gets caught trying to steal the Black Box in "Octopede Sailors", he's thrown out the M.A.V.O. Headquarters door and lands in the mud.
* GooGooGetup: In "Sign of a Friend", when Tweeg needs to practice taking candy from a baby, he forces L.B. to put on a bonnet and sit in a pram.
* HandyFeet: Bounders ''can'' do this, but they rarely do because it's hard for them to stand on one foot. Mostly, they use their mouths or horns to hold things.
* HarmlessFreezing: After falling in frozen water and sitting in there for a few minutes waiting to drown, Teddy rescues him and he's fine after sitting by a fire for a while.
* HumanDoorstop: Forced to be a stepping stool in "Tweeg's Mom" when Eleanor gets off the wagon.
* HumanSnowman: After the snow falls from a tree on top of him, the other Bounders call him the Abominable Snowbounder.
* TheImp: Subverted. Bounders are small, troublesome villains and are generally seen as a nuisance by both the heroes and their superiors. But L.B. is a lot more competent than his boss and even manages to become Supreme Oppressor for a time.
* InsultBackfire: After Quellor makes him Tweeg's supervisor, Tweeg says, "You couldn't supervise slime!" L.B. turns it around by saying, "That's what I keep telling them, but they gave me the job anyway."
* IWarnedYou: Tweeg never seems to listen to L.B.'s warnings that something is going to go wrong.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Occasionally, when Tweeg is actually listening to L.B. for a change, he'll admit that L.B., for all of his insults and complaints, has a point. For example, when Tweeg gets a load of gold in "Through Tweeg's Fingers", L.B. points out he may not get a chance to show it to Quellor once Eleanor sees the gold. Tweeg agrees and decides to skip his mother's house and go straight to Quellor.
* LadiesAndGerms: He says "Ladies and gentlemonsters" in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball".
* TheLeader: Of the Bounders. His initials stand for "Lead Bounder".
* LimaSyndrome: After Tweeg kidnaps Fuzz and locks him in a cage, he comes to like the little guy. This is mainly because Fuzz enjoys trolling Tweeg as much as L.B., but considering L.B.'s general opinion of Fobs, it says a lot.
* LiteralMinded: In "Double Grubby", L.B. thinks a cat burglar means someone who steals cats.
* LoveAtFirstSight: He once claimed that he fell for Buffy from the moment he laid eyes on her.
* MakesUsEven: During his brief reign as Supreme Oppressor, M.A.V.O. captures him. He orders them to let him go to pay him back for saving his life, making them even.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Frequently gets Tweeg's name wrong on purpose, calling him things like Twizzle or [[HaveAGayOldTime Twink]], to annoy and irritate him. This often prompts Tweeg to angrily spell his name out loud. It occasionally extends to other characters too. He once called Teddy Ruxpin "Teddy Fishfin", Gimmick "Limerick", and Quellor "Queelor". Even King Nogburt himself is not immune, as he's called him "King Nogburl/Nogburn/Nosebleed".
* MisspellingOutLoud: In "The Third Crystal", when Tweeg once again clarifies that his name is spelled T-W-E-E-G, L.B. retorts that "It'll be M-U-D-D mud."
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: In "The Hard to Find City", after getting sick of Tweeg going mad with power, he makes a deal with Quellor: he'll help him get back into power if he can become his "right-hand Bounder". Quellor agrees. But to Quellor, that job amounts to being a maid for all of M.A.V.O. Headquarters. L.B. decides that Quellor treats him worse than Tweeg ever did, so he decides to get his own boss and his old job back.
* MusicalNumberAnnoyance: He sometimes gets annoyed when Tweeg bursts into song. In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains", when Tweeg feels a song coming on, L.B. wishes he had hands so he could cover his ears.
* MyBelovedSmother: His mother means well but is way too controlling when it comes to [[spoiler:planning his wedding to Buffy]].
* MyNewGiftIsLame: Just about everyone brings a gift to [[spoiler:his and Buffy's wedding]], but a lot of it looks like unwanted junk to him.
* NobleDemon: He may be on the villains' side, but he's got a sense of honor. During his M.A.V.O. reign, after he remembers how Teddy saved him from drowning, he declares that he owes him, so he orders the monsters to let him go.
* NotInMyContract: In "Sign of a Friend", when forced to help Tweeg practice taking candy from a baby, L.B. complains that playing babies isn't in his contract.
* NotSoFinalConfession: When he thinks he's going to down in icy water, he declares "Buffy, I...I love you! I never told you, and I'm sorry!" She's not actually there to hear it, but the sentiment is there. He's just trying to get his regrets off his chest while he's still alive.
* NumberTwo: Among the Bounders, he's Tweeg's second in command.
* OfficialCouple: Buffy is his girlfriend [[spoiler:and eventual wife]].
* OnlySaneMan: To Tweeg's crew. Tweeg is an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, and the other Bounders are not very bright.
* PersonalMook: To Tweeg. The Bounders work for him, but L.B.'s his right-hand Bounder.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's tiny compared to Tweeg, but he can pull Tweeg's wagon with Tweeg in it.
* PrehensileTail: Because L.B. doesn't have hands, he sometimes uses his stubby tail as a hand, although he prefers to use his mouth.
* PunchClockVillain: L.B. isn't really evil. For the most part he just wants to be entertained and have fun, he just has a moral bar that's lower than most people.
* PungeonMaster: He loves making puns, usually to mock Tweeg.
* RefuseToRescueTheDisliked: Downplayed. He doesn't exactly refuse, but he's reluctant to rescue Tweeg when he falls into a pit of quicksand. He comes around when Tweeg even offers to finally pay him, but it's all for nothing when Quellor's thugs come along and pull him out.
* RememberedTooLate: In "Wizardweek", when Tweeg tries to launch himself from a catapult, he says that this time, he's accounted for both height and wind direction. "What else is there?" L.B. thinks he forgot a factor and only remembers what it is after Tweeg is launched: distance!
* RousingSpeech: Double-subverted. When he acts as a coach to the Mudblup Mashers Grungeball team, the "pep talk" he gives is anything but encouraging. But for some reason, it does give them the confidence to go out and win. As L.B. says, Mudblups are really stupid.
* RunningOnTheSpot: Near the end of "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when Quellor threatens to throw him in the dungeon for usurping his position, he does this while trying to run away, giving Quellor enough time to kick him out the window.
* SelfDeprecation: He admits to himself that he can't be all that smart if he willingly works for someone like Tweeg.
* ShoutOut: He makes several of them.
** When a cannon misfire causes Tweeg to get splattered with flour, L.B. says, "Now, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That%27s_Entertainment! that's entertainment]]."
** While he and Tweeg are M.A.V.O. prisoners and Tweeg is forced to load the ''Eclipse'' with cargo, L.B. says to [[Theatre/ShowBoat "tote these bales onto that barge."]]
** When he decides to FaceDeathWithDignity while sinking into a frozen lake, he looks back on his life and says [[Creator/FrankSinatra "I did it my way".]]
* SignatureLaugh: A wheezing laugh, often heard when Tweeg suffers from amusing misfortune.
* SillyLoveSongs: At the M.A.V.O. costume ball, he sings one for his girlfriend called "Your Rotten Heart, Your Ugly Face". To a villain, it's flattery, but to everyone else, the things he compares her to in the song make it seem like a silly way to be romantic.
* SlaveToPR: After he lets Teddy go from M.A.V.O., he makes it clear that he means "Don't mention it" literally because he has a reputation to uphold.
* StatusQuoIsGod: No matter what happens in the series, even if they're separated for a few episodes, he always manages to go back to working for Tweeg.
* TuftOfHeadFur: Some Bounders have a head full of hair, but L.B. just has a tuft of pink hair around the base of his horn.
* UseYourHead: Tweeg tells him to do this to help him move a treasure chest in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains". Just before L.B. makes contact, the treasure disappears, and he sends Tweeg flying backwards instead.
* VillainousValor: Although L.B's status as "evil" is arguable, he does have a fairly strong code of honor. He made sure to repay Teddy for saving his life when he got the chance, even if the decision was an unpopular one.
* WaddlingHead: Well, hopping head, but same thing. A Bounder is just a large head with a pair of legs and a tail sticking out the back.
* WavingSignsAround: In "Teddy's Quest", he and the Bounders are so fed up with Tweeg putting off their paychecks for so long that they start a protest at the tower, waving signs, demanding that he finally pay them.
* WhosLaughingNow: After being put upon and abused for so long, he pulls this on Tweeg twice in the series. When Quellor demands that Tweeg complete the M.A.V.O. checklist of bad deeds by the next initiation day, L.B. is made his supervisor to make sure he does it. Now Tweeg has to do what he says, and L.B. takes full advantage of it. Then when L.B. becomes Supreme Oppressor, he makes Tweeg do humiliating tasks like delivering party invitations.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: L.B. is terrified of ''Fobs'. You know, those cute little rainbow-hued fluffy guys? That's like being afraid of a declawed kitten.
* WinOneForTheGipper: In the episode appropriately titled "Win One for the Twipper", he gives a villainous version to the Mudblup Mashers. It gives them confidence, but it doesn't work because the other team is just too good for them. The Mashers only catch up when Tweeg sabotages the competition.
* YouDontWantToCatchThis: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge grab Tweeg and try to take him back to Quellor, L.B. saves him by telling them that Tweeg has a fatal, contagious disease called Woofinpoof disease. This scares them away.

!!M.A.V.O.
[[folder:In General]]
!!In General
The Monsters and Villains Organization. Made up of the most ruthless and evil villains in Grundo, M.A.V.O.'s goal is to gather the Crystals and use their power to spread evil and darkness across Grundo. Tweeg's lifelong dream is to join M.A.V.O., but to do that, he must do a truly nasty deed.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: M.A.V.O. is mentioned in the books and is on the map of Grundo, but it only exists to give Tweeg a motive for wanting to be a villain. Here, it not only appears, but gets a whole cast of characters.
* AllTrollsAreDifferent: Many members are trolls, but they don't seem to follow any pattern other than being ugly and vaguely humanoid. They come in all different shapes, colors, and sizes.
* AnimalMotifs: The bull is prominently featured in their architecture. Bulls are known for being strong and fierce.
* AscendedExtra: From a mere mention in the books to being a full-blown cast of characters in the TV series.
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: Their goal is to spread darkness and evil across the land, and they worry about being free from "the threat of goodness".
* CanonForeigner: All members of M.A.V.O. were invented for the cartoon except Tweeg's mother, who is mentioned in passing in the books.
* CardCarryingVillain: Literally. M.A.V.O. membership comes with a card, though only Ms. Maggotheart presents hers (usually when shaking down another member for their late dues).
* CastOfSnowflakes: The nameless background M.A.V.O. members all have unique designs that get used over and over to fill a crowd, so almost every member is at least a RecurringExtra.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Tweeg is an IneffectualSympatheticVillain who wants to be rich and powerful. M.A.V.O. is introduced in the second arc as a legitimately dangerous evil organization whose goal is to spread a HatePlague across Grundo.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: They have all kinds of punishments for people who disappoint or anger the Supreme Oppressor, but one of the worst is being forced to spend a day locked in a room with ''the M.A.V.O. dues collector!''
* EvilMinions: Generally, any member who doesn't normally fight, such as Bognostroclum, Mrs. Maggotheart, or the Understander of Legends.
* ForTheEvulz: They do things just because it's evil. However, it gets a bit more development than in most series. In the world of this show, being evil is treated as a lifestyle and a culture, and it's a case of BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad.
* FunWithAcronyms: M.A.V.O. stands for the '''M'''onsters '''a'''nd '''V'''illains '''O'''rganization.
* GottaCatchThemAll: M.A.V.O. must gather all the Crystals to spread their spell of darkness. Over the course of a couple of episodes, they get scattered as they're stolen and passed between villains who each decide to hoard one for themselves, forcing Tweeg to gather them again.
* HatePlague: The primary goal of M.A.V.O. is to spread a stormy darkness over Grundo that causes plants to start withering and bring out the worst in the population of the land. [[spoiler:They succeed, at least for a while.]]
* ItMustBeMine: They must have the Crystals to spread their spell of darkness across Grundo and make them all-powerful.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A shot of the Headquarters is often accompanied by a distinctive dark and unsettling piece.
* KangarooCourt: One of the plots of "Uncle Grubby" was Tweeg being taken to M.A.V.O. court to answer for his failures. A rule prohibited the defendant (Tweeg) from speaking.
* LoyalToThePosition: They are compelled to obey whoever happens to be the Supreme Oppressor because the Supreme Oppressor has the memory-erasing Black Box.
* {{Mooks}}: Any member of M.A.V.O. who's not named is treated as one, although none of them are killed. If you pay attention, there are several recurring individual mooks.
* {{Mordor}}: The patch of mountains where M.A.V.O. HQ is situated is usually dark and cloudy, surrounded by desolate-looking crags and bluffs.
* MysteriousPast: Where M.A.V.O. came from and how they were established is never revealed, and the only members whose backstories are revealed are Eleanor and Drudge.
* NebulousEvilOrganization: Their agenda is to spread evil and darkness across Grundo. It's called the Monsters and Villains Organization for a reason.
* RecurringExtra: Several nameless members of M.A.V.O. have very distinct designs and are reused whenever random monsters are needed to do something or a crowd needs to be filled.
* StandardEvilEmpireHierarchy: The main members of M.A.V.O. fill several of the standard roles.
** TheEmperor: Quellor, the Supreme Oppressor.
** The Right Hand: The Understander of Legends, Quellor's librarian and bookkeeper.
** The Guard: Ickly Bognostroclum, the M.A.V.O. gatekeeper.
** The Security Officer: Mrs. Maggotheart, the M.A.V.O. "collector of dues" who makes sure the other members complete their list of bad deeds.
** The Oddball: Sludge, Drudge and Trudge, as well as Tweeg whenever he manages to become a member.
* VilerNewVillain: Throughout the first arc, Tweeg and L.B. establish themselves as an evil comic duo. M.A.V.O. is then introduced as a truly serious threat where even the idiots are something to fear, and they want to spread a HatePlague across Grundo.
* VillainSong: M.A.V.O. has its own in-universe official anthem about how they're villains, which they often sing at meetings.
* VillainsOutShopping: Like most people, they like to take a break from their usual activities and have fun. In one episode, they have a costume party with music and dancing.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Quellor]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Les Lye
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg's Mom"
The feared overlord of M.A.V.O., Quellor is the closest thing the series has to an overarching bad guy. He has a nasty habit of erasing the memory of those who displease him and selling them off to the Ying Zoo.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His sword can slice right through solid wood.
* AngryCollarGrab: He picks up Tweeg by the collar and throws him across the room to convince him to hand over his gold formula.
* BadBoss: An interesting example. While he has all the earmarks of this, he IS the leader of an ObviouslyEvil NebulousEvilOrganisation, and this is actually expected of him in the group's bylaws.
* BigBad: He's the ''real'' antagonist behind the entire course of the show. His ambition to collect all of the crystals and generally cause mayhem is what drives most of the show's conflict.
* BigBadEnsemble: There are several independent factions of villains in the series, so he's part of one, along with Tweeg, the Sorcerer, the Mudblup King, and the Gutangs.
* BigShutUp: He prefers the word "Silence!", which he'll yell to shut up those beneath him.
* BigWhat: He tends to yell "What?!" when he hears something shocking, such as after he learns that a Crystal was stolen from an Illiop in "Tweeg's Mom".
* BillBillJunkBill: In "The Ying Zoo", he sorts through his mail, saying "Death threats, eviction notices, catastrophe predictions...how come I never get anything interesting?"
* BreakoutVillain: Around mid-series, he replaces Tweeg as the main villain. Most fans agree that he makes a better BigBad than the latter.
* BrightIsNotGood: His outfit is partly bright gold, but he's a villain.
* BuriedAlive: In "Musical Oppressors", when he corners Teddy in a cave, he accidentally causes a rockslide that briefly buries him, though he's fine when he climbs out of it.
* CanonForeigner: Along with the other members of M.A.V.O., Quellor was created just for the animated series.
* CirclingBirdies: In "Teddy's Quest", after getting knocked out by Trudge's club, he lays on the ground unconscious, stars swirling over his head.
* CoolChair: As the Supreme Oppressor, he gets an ornate stone throne at the top of a flight of stairs where he can look down on everyone.
* ConvenientlyCellmates: Following a coup at M.A.V.O., the deposed Quellor soon finds himself in one of his own prison cells. An episode later finds him joined by Teddy of all people, and the two even get to sing a duet about how little either of them likes being jailed (this does not lead to bonding between the two).
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes. When Tweeg promises Quellor that he won't fail him, right before klutzing out, Quellor says, "That would be a nice change."
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Surprisingly, when he threatens to erase Tweeg's memory, if Tweeg did not reveal him the secret gold-making formula. Tweeg rather logically pointed out, that if Quellor erased his memory, he would erase the formula, too.
* DismissingACompliment: In one episode, after getting tired of Bognostroclum's many creative honorifics titles for him, he tells him to knock off the cheap flattery.
* DuetOfDifferences: When he and Teddy are in the same boat, they sing the duet "All Locked Up" about how they want to get out of jail, but for opposite reasons: [[TheHero Teddy]] has a desire to do good for everyone, while [[BigBad Quellor]] wants out so he can bring evil.
* EnragedByIdiocy: He gets furious with Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge whenever they say or do anything stupid.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's the most treacherous and feared villain in Grundo, and it's his goal to spread evil throughout the land, but he's also proud of the business relationship that M.A.V.O. has with the Gutangs, and when Tweeg declares war against the Gutangs for petty reasons, he's disgusted. Quellor may be the Supreme Oppressor, but he earned it by [[DoWrongRight doing wrong right]].
* EvilIsHammy: Quellor talks as big as he looks.
* EvilLaugh: Unlike Tweeg, who's just a wannabe, his deep evil laugh sounds really frightening.
* EvilOverlord: As the Supreme Oppressor of the Monsters and Villains Organization of Grundo, you know he's got this going on.
* EvilSoundsDeep: He has by far one of the deepest voices of any character in the series.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: Not only is his voice deep, it's raspy too, and he's the BigBad.
* FantasticHonorifics: Bognostroclum loves coming up with creative evil honorifics for him like "Your Gruesomeness", "Your Vileness", "Your Wickedness", "Your Nastiness", etc.
* FlatYes: Delivers one to the Sorcerer in "The Big Escape" when the Sorcerer asks if Quellor expects him to hand over his star attraction Tweeg.
* GeniusBruiser: He's large, strong, and physically intimidating but also a very competent leader.
* GetOut: Twice in the series--once where he discovers his henchmen lied to him about killing Tweeg, and once after hearing them ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with his orders--he gives them a furious "Out! Out! OUT!"
* AGlassInTheHand: In "The Big Escape", he crushes a goblet in his fingers.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Near the end of "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball" when he approaches L.B. to reclaim his title of Supreme Oppressor, his eyes turn a glowing yellow to show L.B. how screwed he is.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Believe it or not, Teddy and Quellor sing a duet together when they're both trapped in M.A.V.O.'s prison. They manage not to be overtly antagonistic towards each other, though Quellor's lines lamenting not having the freedom to be an EvilOverlord do creep Teddy out.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Wears a gold hood, cape, and belt to symbolize he's the leader of M.A.V.O.
* HairTriggerTemper: Do the slightest thing to annoy him and he'll go into a rage.
* HappinessIsMandatory: According to Bognostroclum, there's actually a rule in the M.A.V.O. handbook that the Supreme Oppressor must have at least fifteen minutes of fun per day.
* HarmlessElectrocution: In "The Big Escape", he gets so overloaded with electricity that you can see his skeleton. He's fine afterwards.
* HeroVsVillainDuet: Teddy and Quellor sing a duet called "All Locked Up" while they're both imprisoned in M.A.V.O.'s Dungeon, with Teddy lamenting that while locked up, he's unable to help his friends, cheer people up, or explore, whereas Quellor is angry he can't spread darkness, kick a [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Fob]] and make it yelp, or be cruel to his grandmother. Funnily enough, while they do react to each other's verses, they manage to keep the harmony through the whole song and don't break down into any sort of insults.
* HiddenDepths: "The Hard to Find City" reveals that he can fly a plane.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After he briefly gives himself PsychoElectro powers, he thinks it's the perfect weapon. He never realized until it was too late that once the generator shorts out, the only one who'll get electrocuted is him.
* HornedHumanoid: He has two horns and looks like a tall humanoid.
* IControlMyMinionsThrough: He's an example of both Fear and Power. As the Supreme Oppressor, he is the leader of M.A.V.O. and holds the Black Box, a magical device that can erase your memory.
* IDontPayYouToThink: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", when they're trying to replicate Tweeg's gold formula, and Sludge has his doubts about the recipe, Quellor says, "I do not require you to think."
* ImprovisedWeapon: When he follows Teddy into a cave in "Musical Oppressors", he rips a stalactite out of the ceiling and uses it as a club.
* InTheHood: He always wears his hood and mask, so all we see of his face are his white eyes.
* IWantSong: "All Locked Up", a duet he shares with Teddy of all characters, is about how they both want to get out of prison, though for different reasons.
* KnightOfCerebus: Decidedly more competent than many of the other villains, things tended to get fairly serious when Quellor took part in the plot.
* LargeAndInCharge: Is easily the biggest member of M.A.V.O., though this is not the only reason he's in charge.
* LaserGuidedKarma: On his way to attack a supposedly captive and helpless Teddy, Quellor gets to be on the receiving end of his own newly acquired ShockAndAwe powers when Teddy's cage barely misses him but does nail Trudge, who is carrying Quellor's power source, severely damaging it. The resulting XRaySparks experience is poetic justice given he was probably planning to zap Teddy if he'd gotten to him.
* LetsSeeYouDoBetter: In "Leekee Lake", when an underling says he's hardly the Supreme Oppressor after he loses the Black Box, Quellor threateningly asks if he thinks he could do a better job.
* LiteralAssKicking: Kicks Drudge down a hill in frustration in "Up for Air". He also kicks L.B. out a window when he reclaims his power in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball".
* LookBehindYou: He tries to pull this on Trudge when his henchmen betray him. He didn't count on it causing a PlankGag.
* LostMyAppetite: In "The Great Grundo Ground Race", after he complains that his breakfast is moving and Trudge deals with it by smashing it with his club to, Quellor says this.
* MagicEnhancement: After all the Crystals are in the great ring and M.A.V.O.'s HatePlague spreads across Grundo, Quellor is even stronger than usual.
* MasterSwordsman: He handles his sword with great expertise, although we only see it used on non-living objects.
* MistakenForAnImposter: In "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when he returns to the meeting hall after Teddy's escape, L.B. thinks he's someone in a Quellor costume for a party and even awards him first place for the funniest costume.
* OhCrap: When he sees the power pack for his PsychoElectro abilities begin to short out, Quellor immediately tries to escape his harness, but has no luck. The last instant before the power surge hits is a closeup of Quellor's horrified face as he realizes what's about to happen, enhanced by the fact that his normally featureless eyes have been given small pupils to emphasize his feelings. You almost feel sorry for him.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Zig-zagged. Before he meets Teddy, he's never seen outside of M.A.V.O. Headquarters. He'd prefer to send his henchmen to do things for himself while he stays at the Headquarters, but he's not afraid to lead the charge himself. He personally oversees the maiden voyage of the ''Eclipse'', the search for the Black Box, and the expedition to Ying.
* OrderedApology: After Sludge calls Trudge fat, Quellor orders him to say he's sorry.
* PetTheDog: He shows a surprising amount of affection toward his "pets", especially a unique gray one named Dweezil. He also sometimes thanks his underlings when they actually do something useful.
* PsychoElectro: Quellor attempts to gain this for an episode or two via a convoluted set of wires and a portable electricity generator. It doesn't end well.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His robe is dark purple, and he's the most powerful villain in Grundo.
* RibbonCuttingCeremony: The champagne bottle variant. When the M.A.V.O. airship is ready to launch, he smashes a bottle on it and christens it the ''Eclipse''.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: He can communicate with his pets.
* SpitTake: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", when he sees that Tweeg is still alive, he spits out his drink. It hits the Understander.
* SuperStrength: He's always been strong enough to lift and toss his underlings around, but when M.A.V.O.'s evil spell spreads through Grundo, he becomes so strong that he can rip a large stalactite out of a cave ceiling.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Most of his minions are either just plain stupid or annoying. He feels frustrated. He wonders what he did to deserve them.
* TapOnTheHead: In "Teddy's Quest", when he takes on all three of his henchmen, he gets knocked on the head by Trudge's club, making him pass out and wake up in a cell unharmed.
* TooDesperateToBePicky: While Tweeg and L.B. are M.A.V.O. prisoners, he's forced to give them another chance in "Anything in the Soup" because they're the only ones who are familiar with Teddy.
* VerbThis: When he catches L.B. trying to make off with the Black Box, L.B. feebly says he was taking out to be dry-cleaned. "I'll dry-clean you!"
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: For a basically charming series (for the most part), Quellor does give an ominous vibe.
* VillainNoLongerIdle: After he encounters Teddy face to face for the first time, he becomes a lot more proactive in M.A.V.O.'s activity. This is a turning point in the series when things start to get darker and more dangerous.
* VillainRespect: He praises Gimmick's inventiveness when his stolen plans allow M.A.V.O. to build their own airship.
* VillainSong: In his part of "All Locked Up", he sings about how he'd love to do evil as much as Teddy would do good.
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: When L.B. finds himself stuck working as his maid, Quellor says that L.B. should consider the privilege of working for him to be reward enough.
* WolverineClaws: He dons some fake long claws when he attempts to go PsychoElectro, with shocks generated from their tips.
* XRaySparks: His when his electrical power system shorts out and he gets electrocuted, he looks like a skeleton in a silhouette. This is actually the closest thing we get to seeing what he looks like under his clothes.
* YellowPurpleContrast: He wears a yellow hood, cape, and belt over a purple cloak.

[[folder:Eleanor Tweeg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Abby Hagyard
->'''First appearance:''' "Grubby's Romance"
Tweeg's overbearing mother, a troll who sees him as a disappointment. Tweeg is always trying to make her proud by becoming a member of M.A.V.O.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: She has one in the form of the Mudblup King. He's in love with her but she can't stand being close to a walking, talking pile of mud.
* AbusiveParents: Of the emotional variety to both her son and her ex-husband. Apparently, the first time she laid eyes on him was two or three weeks after he was born, and since then, all she's done for him is berate him.
* AltoVillainess: She has a deep, rough voice for a female character, though she rarely sings.
* ArrangedMarriage: On the receiving end, courtesy of her son selling her to the Mudblup King.
* AwfulWeddedLife: There was no love between her and Elroy. Their relationship consisted of her always putting him down and hating him for being such a NiceGuy. They only got married because she was a GoldDigger and he was a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter.
* BillBillJunkBill: In "The Ying Zoo", she sorts through her mail, saying "Blackmail demands, extortion notices, death threats...always the same junk mail!"
* BlatantLies: When she produces the Crystal that she kept for herself, she tells Tweeg, "It must have got jammed behind the cheap upholstery in that wagon of yours."
* CaneFu: She walks with a wooden cane that she sometimes uses as a weapon.
* ComplimentBackfire: After Mrs. Maggotheart calls her "too kind" after she congratulates her on becoming the new ''Eclipse'' commander, Eleanor says she'll have to watch that.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: During Wizardweek, when it's her turn in the relay obstacle course, she tries to cheat by running on the ground instead of using the ropes. It doesn't work because you need the ropes to get over the water.
* DisappointedInYou: She sends a letter expressing her disappointment in him.
* DomesticAbuse: She verbally abused both her husband and her son all the time.
* EvilOldFolks: She looks like an old, gray woman and is evil through and through.
* EvilSmellsBad: Her perfume of choice is "Essence of Garlic".
* FateWorseThanDeath: When the Mudblup King wants to make her his queen, she says she'd rather rot than be married to him.
* TheGhost: In the original book and tape series, she's mentioned but never appears. She becomes a full-blown character in the animated series.
* GoldDigger: When she hears that Tweeg can make gold, she suddenly shows uncharacteristic concern for his well-being, and it's implied that she only married Elroy for his surfing winnings.
* {{Greed}}: She's both tight with money and willing to steal what she thinks are valuable crystals from her son.
* GreenAndMean: She's a mean, green troll. Trolls in the Teddy Ruxpin universe come in many colors, but she's an especially mean one.
* HairTriggerTemper: She goes into a rage over all kinds of things, but especially anything to do with Tweeg or the Mudblup king.
* HarmlessElectrocution: In "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", Tweeg's joy buzzer is so powerful that it overloads her with electricity and leaves her hair standing on end, but she's okay afterwards.
* HateSink: Eleanor is notably both the only AbusiveParent and domestic abuser in the series, despite every bit of it being played for laughs. It's downright cathartic when Tweeg turns the tables on her for his own profit.
* InterspeciesRomance: Well, interspecies marriage, at least. It wasn't romantic. Eleanor's a troll and Elroy's a Grunge.
* {{Jerkass}}: She hates almost anyone apart from Ickly, Sparky, and Quellor. She never feels a hint of remorse for being an abusive mother to Tweeg.
* KickTheDog: She's proud of how much she mistreats her son and takes any chance to do it.
* LethalChef: Her goulash is so terrible that the Hermit of Leekee Lake manages to use it as acid to eat through his chains.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Once refers to Wizardweek as Lizardweek.
* MonsterFanGirl / AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Is romantically attached to Quellor. The latter trope is why her marriage to Tweeg's father, a NiceGuy, didn't work out.
* MyBelovedSmother: Most of the time she is emotionally distant and detached from her son, but that doesn't stop her from swinging into this trope full tilt in his presence.
* NotAMask: When the Trio meet her for the first time, they're convinced that she's really Tweeg using one of his disguises and think that it's just on very tightly when they try to pull it off. She's offended that they think she is her son.
* PetTheDog: On the rare occasions when she's seen Tweeg do something right for a change, she'll willingly acknowledge it and even call him "son". When the Understander takes over and fires Bognostroclum, Eleanor personally nominates Tweeg for his job.
* PrimAndProperBun: In her younger days, her hairstyle was a ponytail, but after she got old and her hair turned gray, she started wearing an old lady's bun.
* RankUp: For most of the series, she's a regular member of M.A.V.O. She briefly becomes the new Understander of Legends when the Understander becomes the new Supreme Oppressor, although when the latter goes back to her old position, Eleanor goes back to being a regular member.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: Like her son, she is green and wears purple.
* SinisterSchnoz: Her long, pointed, warty nose looks like a stereotypical wicked witch's nose.
* SleepMask: Wears one in bed as seen in "Octopede Sailors".
* SolitarySorceress: She lives in an old house, with only her pet for company, way out in the middle of nowhere near the Wall of Ying.
* SoProudOfYou: Occasionally, she shows genuine approval when he accomplishes something for a change. She says this word for word in "The Crystal Book" when he manages something on his checklist of bad deeds and in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball" when he pulls a malicious prank on her.
* StartMyOwn: Halfway through Wizardweek, she gets fed up with Tweeg's team losing, so she and Sparky form their own team.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Any time she and Tweeg work together.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Seeing Tweeg stuck in a quicksand pit during the race, she says it makes her feel like singing. Yes, that's how much she hates her son.
* VillainousFriendship: She and Bognostroclum are old friends. He's one of the only people that she's genuinely nice to, and she's able to talk him into bending the rules just this once when she has the Crystals for Quellor.
* VillainousMotherSonDuo: With her son Tweeg, whenever they manage to get on the same page. She will not miss a chance to berate and belittle him, but Eleanor is quite supportive of her son's villainous career and will express pride when he manages to pull off a dastardly plan (one example being when he sold her to the Mudblup King for his own freedom and a truck of jewels).
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: She's bitter over the fact that her son doesn't show his appreciation for her just acknowledging him and feeding him maybe once or twice when he was young.
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: She's always reminding her son how she hates the way he's no good as a villain.
* WickedWitch: Lives in a spooky house with a bat-like pet, and looks like an ugly, green hag with warts and a long nose. Though she doesn't know a lick of real magic, she fulfills every other part of the trope.

[[folder:Ickly Bognostroclum]]
!!Ickly Bognostroclum
->'''Voiced by:''' Pier Paquette
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg's Mom"
The gatekeeper of M.A.V.O. and Quellor's right-hand monster. He's obsessed with rules and regulations and won't do anything if the paperwork isn't filled out. He has a habit of quoting the M.A.V.O. handbook and citing exactly where in the book a rule is printed.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: Briefly calls Teddy a "lollipop" instead of an Illiop in his first appearance. He was trying to repeat what Eleanor whispered to him, so maybe she was being too quiet for him to hear properly.
* BaitAndSwitchComment: In "The Black Box", he says, "Ah, Tweeg. How wonderful to see your face again. Reminds of the last time I was sick!"
* BlatantLies: Like L.B. and the Tweegs, he decides to hold onto one of the Crystals, leaving just one to present to Quellor. When Tweeg is sent to gather the rest, he nervously tells him he "misplaced it earlier".
* BotheringByTheBook: He knows all the M.A.V.O. rules by heart, and he does his best to enforce them on everybody. Quellor has come close to throttling him twice for such actions.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: His rule-blabbering may get on people's nerves, but it's also what makes him one of the few M.A.V.O. members who is actually good at his job.
* TheDragon: To Quellor. He's his right-hand monster and often the only one he can count on to do his job right.
* GateGuardian: His job is the keeper of the gate at M.A.V.O. Headquarters.
* HornedHumanoid: Has a pair of horns.
* InaneBlabbering: Twice in the series, he falls into this state thanks to Tweeg: once when Tweeg showed up with the Black Box, and once where he proved NotQuiteDead.
* LastNameBasis: Most people call him Bognostroclum. Eleanor calls him Ickly because they're old friends. Eventually, so does Tweeg because he can't pronounce "Bognostroclum".
* ObsessivelyOrganized: He's obsessed with doing everything exactly the way the rule book says.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: He insists that everything be done by the book and by filling out any attached paperwork. He always seems to have the right forms on hand for anyone to do anything at M.A.V.O.
* PhotographicMemory: He's memorized the M.A.V.O. handbook so well that he can recite the exact section, page, paragraph, or line of each rule.
* PunchClockVillain: Subverted. He seems like he's being evil because it's literally his job, but he once stole one of the Crystals for himself because a real villain never passes a chance to steal.
* TheReliableOne: Because he sticks to the rules but will bend them when his boss orders him to, he's Quellor's most dependable minion.
* RulesLawyer: He's got every single M.A.V.O. rule memorized and uses them like weapons. As keeper of the gate, he's got a rule for every occasion when it comes to keeping out the riffraff.
* ScrewTheRulesItsTheApocalypse: As obsessed as he is with the rulebook, he'll cast it aside when his life is in danger. When he refuses to allow a disguised Wooly to join in M.A.V.O. in "Escape from M.A.V.O." because it's not the time and place for recruiting new members, Wooly's threats are enough to make him forget the rules and give Wooly application forms.
* StaffOfAuthority: He always carries a long ornate staff, but it's more of a symbolic item than a weapon.
* TheUnpronounceable: But only to Tweeg, who struggles to say "Bognostroclum".
* VillainousFriendship: He and Eleanor are old friends. He's one of the only people that she's genuinely nice to, and she's able to talk him into bending the rules just this once when she has the Crystals for Quellor.

[[folder:The Understander of Legends]]
!!The Understander of Legends
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JohnStocker
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg's Mom"
An old, vaguely trollish woman and the wisest member of M.A.V.O. Her job is being the keeper of M.A.V.O.'s ancient knowledge. She's a cautious, pragmatic villain who has a secret dream of becoming the Supreme Oppressor herself.
----
* AffablyEvil: She's usually very soft-spoken for a M.A.V.O. member, although she has her limits.
* BastardUnderstudy: She acts devoted to her superiors and the cause for a long time. She really wants to be the Supreme Oppressor, but she's willing to take her time and work behind the scenes. Late in the series, she gets tired of M.A.V.O. failing to find Teddy Ruxpin, so when everything is in place, the gloves come off and she takes over.
* BigShutUp: Delivers one of these in "Fugitives" when she gets fed up with listening her fellow M.A.V.O. women, yelling "SILENCE!"
* CunningLinguist: The legends of M.A.V.O. are carved in the stone walls of the meeting hall. Most people can't read them, so the Understander's job is to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin understand them]].
* {{Determinator}}: After she takes over M.A.V.O., she devotes all resources toward finding Teddy and refuses to give up.
* DragonAscendant: Briefly declares herself the new Supreme Oppressor, even though she doesn't have the Black Box. Ironically, she loses her position to ''another'' Dragon Ascendant, L.B., when he ''does'' have the Black Box.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: She's one of Quellor's most high-ranking servants, but she has her own motivations beyond her job. She wants Quellor's position, but we don't learn this until late in the series.
* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: She's only ever called by her title. This confuses Tweeg a bit in "Thin Ice" when the M.A.V.O. positions get reshuffled and she's no longer the Understander.
* EvilCripple: She's got a hunched back and can't walk very well. Still plenty evil.
* EvilGenius: Her job is knowing the legends and secrets of the Monsters and Villains Organization.
* EvilOldFolks: She might be the oldest member of M.A.V.O.
* EvilSoundsDeep: For a woman, she has a low, almost masculine-sounding voice, due to her voice actor being male.
* FingerExtinguisher: She blows out a candle in "Teddy's Quest" by pinching the flame in her fingers.
* GracefullyDemoted: When L.B. gets ahold of the Black Box and is declared the new Supreme Oppressor, she doesn't argue, since she's afraid of the Black Box just like everyone else. She goes back to being the Understander.
* IWantThemAlive: After Quellor dispatches his minions get Teddy dead or alive, she argues that they need him alive to get the Crystals. Quellor doesn't listen, so she conspires behind his back. After she takes over and puts out a wanted poster for Teddy, it says, "Wanted Alive".
* IWarnedYou: She suggested to Quellor that the Crystals that Tweeg brought them might be fake and is happy to remind him that they turned out to be just salt.
* ManipulativeBastard: She pulls the strings on Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge to manipulate them into helping her usurp Quellor's spot.
* MsExposition: This is literally part of her job: to explain M.A.V.O.'s goals and legends and what's so important about them.
* NoNameGiven: She's only called the Understander. When she moves up and Eleanor takes her spot, Tweeg finds it a bit confusing in "Thin Ice" when Mrs. Maggotheart tells him what's what.
* OnlySaneWoman: Surrounded by idiots, jerkasses, and power-mad tyrants, she's easily the most stable and sensible person at M.A.V.O.
* PragmaticVillainy: She wants to spread evil across Grundo as much as anyone, but she is patient, cautious, and calculating. While Quellor wants Teddy out of the way one way or another, the Understander wants to keep him alive because he can lead them to the Crystals.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The Understander is fairer to those beneath her than Quellor. She gives Tweeg a chance when he claims he can lead her to Teddy, promises to let Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge off punishment for helping her, and even accepts Eleanor's nomination of Tweeg as the new gatekeeper.
* StaffOfAuthority: Always carries a staff with an orb on top to show her authority.
* TranquilFury: At first. When she discovers the fake Crystals are pieces of salt, she tells Quellor coldly as she crushes one in her hand. Later, when she betrays Quellor and takes over M.A.V.O., her temper shows more.
* WomenAreWiser: Easily the wisest member of Quellor's underlings, while the male henchmen are usually more incompetent.

[[folder:Mrs. Maggotheart]]
!!Mrs. Maggotheart
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RickJones
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg Gets the Tweezles"
The M.A.V.O. dues collector who makes sure members are completing their lists of bad deeds. Most members of M.A.V.O. fear her because of all the bills she forces them to pay.
----
* AccidentalKidnapping: In "Fugitives", she's sent to kidnap Teddy and accidentally brings back the Hermit instead, not knowing there was more than one Illiop in Grundo.
* AccidentalMisnaming: When she first appears, she accidentally calls Tweeg "Tweek". Unlike the Bounders, she just misread his name on a paper.
* AshFace: She ends up covered in char marks after Tweeg's cannon hits her wagon.
* TheCaptain: After the Understander becomes the new Supreme Oppressor, she is appointed the new commander of the M.A.V.O. pirates.
* CoolSword: When she becomes commander of the M.A.V.O. pirates, she gets a sword.
* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: The highest-pitched M.A.V.O. member. You can tell she's a villain trying to hide her nastiness when she talks pleasantly.
* DelayedReaction: In "Escape from M.A.V.O.", when she discovers the Airship parked at M.A.V.O., she's distracted by the parking violation committed, so it takes her a minute to realize what she's looking at.
* TheDreaded: She is this to most of M.A.V.O. because of all the bills she gives them. In fact, being locked in a room with her is a punishment reserved for the biggest rule breakers.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She has a husband named Spittle.
* EvilDebtCollector: Mrs. Maggotheart combines this with IntimidatingRevenueService in her role as M.A.V.O.'s dues collector. Once Tweeg becomes an apprentice member, she dogs him every day demanding he pay the rather sizable debt he's accrued.
* EvilIsPetty: She throws out bills for whatever minor excuse she can think of. Let her hang a wanted poster on your front door? You pay to rent it. Don't know where the person in the poster is? You're fined for not knowing.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She often speaks very pleasantly and politely but goes into an absolute fury when she's upset.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Being a debt collector, no one in M.A.V.O. likes to deal with her. They put up with her because they need her to do her job.
* GreenAndMean: She's got sickly green skin and is particularly nasty.
* HateSink: Is probably the most despicable character in the series. She makes Tweeg looks like a boy scout.
* HoldYourHippogriffs: In one episode, she says "Thank badness" because to M.A.V.O., BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad.
* IntimidatingRevenueService: She furiously hounds Tweeg until he pays. If he doesn't, M.A.V.O. will come for him. Given she also has Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge assisting her, the intimidating part comes with the territory.
* KickTheDog: She'll happily bully a sick person to give herself more points as a M.A.V.O. member.
* MiddleManagementMook: Not quite one of the top dogs at M.A.V.O., not very action-oriented, but has an important job. She manages day-to-day affairs like finances and liaison that keep M.A.V.O. running. Ironically, people hate dealing with her even more than Quellor.
* MoodSwinger: She tends to flip between a sickeningly sweet voice and a shrieking temper multiple times in the same conversation.
* NoFullNameGiven: Her first name is unknown.
* PsychoPink: Wears a pink cloak to contrast against her froggy green skin.
* RankUp: Promoted to commander of the M.A.V.O pirates in "Thin Ice".
* StepfordSmiler: Wavers between this and SuddenlyShouting. Gimmick only witnesses the former and mistakenly believes she is a pleasant person.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Not even Quellor or the Gutangs are ruthless capitalists collecting debt ForTheEvulz. [[/folder]]
[[folder:Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge]]
!!Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge
->'''Voiced by:''' Pier Paquette (Sludge), Les Lye (Drudge), Creator/RickJones (Trudge)
->'''First appearance:''' "The Mushroom Forest"
A trio of M.A.V.O. enforcers Quellor tasks first with finding Teddy Ruxpin, then with capturing Tweeg. They're actually formidable in a fight, but their tracking skills leave much to be desired.
----
* AintTooProudToBeg: When Quellor finds out that they lied to him about killing Tweeg, they're all willing to beg for him to spare their lives.
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Their names rhyme: Sl'''udge''', Dr'''udge''', and Tr'''udge'''. It extends to Drudge's family (see below).
* BackhandedApology: After Quellor orders Sludge to apologize for calling Trudge fat, Sludge just says, "I'm sorry you're so fat". Trudge is dumb enough to accept this.
* BlameGame: In "Autumn Adventure", when Quellor learns that they lied about killing Tweeg, they try to blame each other for coming up with the idea.
* TheBrute: They're all super-strong villains but not too bright.
* CarryABigStick: Trudge is usually seen carrying around a huge club as his weapon.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Sludge is blue, Drudge is green, and Trudge is tan.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: They do this a lot. When Quellor gives them orders and asks them if they have any questions, they ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with the topic.
* CranialEruption: In "Thin Ice", when Sludge insults Eleanor, she angrily throws her hairbrush at him and gives him a bump on the head.
* DeadpanSnarker: Drudge. He gets some of the wittiest lines of any M.A.V.O. member. When visiting Tweeg's house, he says, "For a guy who knows how to make gold, he sure lives cheap."
* DeathFakedForYou: When they fail to capture Tweeg in "A Race to the Finish", they stick some slime mold in a bottle and present it to Quellor, claiming that it's a pulverized Tweeg.
* DecoyDamsel: When M.A.V.O. accidentally kidnaps the Hermit of Leekee Lake instead of Teddy, they have Sludge dress up as the Hermit in a dungeon cell and grab Teddy when he tries to rescue the Hermit.
* TheDitz: Trudge. The other two are dumb but not quite as clueless as him.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Though they appear as early as "The Mushroom Forest", they started as generic henchmen and didn't even have names for a few episodes. As they started to appear more, they gained distinct personalities: Sludge the fiercest and the leader, Drudge the slightly more sensible DeadpanSnarker, and Trudge the strongest and dumbest.
* TheDogBitesBack: How the Understander gets them to go along with her coup, she points out Quellor's BadBoss tendencies and offers them better positions under her rule.
* DumbassHasAPoint: Sometimes, they make good points. In "Leekee Lake", Sludge suggests recruiting Drudge's cousin for deep water salvage. Quellor likes the idea. In "Winter Adventure", when Tweeg is caught and tied up, Trudge points out that they'll never get any answers from Tweeg if they gag him. In "Teddy's Quest", Drudge sees a flaw in the Understander's scheme: they can't take over if Quellor has the Black Box.
* DumbMuscle: All three qualify as far as M.A.V.O. is concerned, but Trudge serves as this for the group itself, being both the strongest and the dumbest of the trio. He's actually powerful enough that he accidentally knocks out Quellor himself when he turns around.
* EliteMooks: As Quellor's personal henchmen, they rank a cut above most mooks in M.A.V.O.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Drudge has a family in Ying that he seems to be fond of.
* ExtremeOmnivore: When Drudge was a kid, he ate his cousin's coloring book.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Drudge has a cousin named Dredge, the son of his Auntie Smudge and Uncle Grudge.
* FieryRedhead: Sludge has deep, crimson hair and the worst temper of the three.
* ForgotToMindTheirHead: It happens to Sludge while they're tearing apart Tweeg's tower for the gold formula and his head is in a cupboard.
* GeniusDitz: Drudge knows how to manipulate a reluctant relative into helping him, has been to school (someplace called Troll Tech), and is one of the only characters in the whole series to see through a PaperThinDisguise when he recognizes Teddy in his Mudblup costume.
* GoldfishPoopGang: Not really quirky enough for [[QuirkyMinibossSquad the other trope]], but they tend to show up a lot to cause trouble for the good guys.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Sludge and Drudge usually fight barehanded, although they did once briefly grab a sword and a mace respectively to use.
* GreenAndMean: Drudge is a dull shade of green.
* IAmBigBoned: When Sludge complains about Trudge being fat, Trudge insists that he is "husky".
* InsufferableImbecile: Sludge. All three are DumbMuscle EvilMinions who love causing pain and destruction, but Sludge is the nastiest, even being a jerk to Trudge.
* InterrogationByVandalism: In "Winter Adventure", the three of them come to Tweeg's tower demanding his formula for turning buttermilk into gold. When he doesn't hand it over, they tie him up and throw everything around the room. Tweeg can hardly stand to watch.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Drudge once calls Teddy "Teddy Dustbin", a name Tweeg once used.
* ManipulativeBastard: Believe it or not, Drudge. He gets his cousin Dredge to go along with M.A.V.O.'s plan by threatening him, first by bringing up Dredge's mom and then the Supreme Oppressor's Black Box.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Less due to any lack of desire to be evil and more down to their sheer stupidity.
* TheNapoleon: Sludge is the smallest but also the bossiest and most short-tempered of the three.
* NoodleIncident: Drudge once mentioned in passing that he was kicked out of Troll Tech.
* OhCrap: In "Autumn Adventure", they realize they're in big trouble when Quellor sees Tweeg still alive. Later in the same episode, they think they've caught the Trio in their Mudblup costumes, only to realize too late that they're real Mudblups.
* OnlySaneByComparison: Drudge is by a small margin the smartest and most sensible of the three, but compared to the rest of M.A.V.O., he's still an idiot.
* OrderedApology: Quellor orders Sludge to apologize for calling Trudge fat.
* OutfitDecoy: When Teddy goes to rescue the Hermit from the M.A.V.O. dungeon, he sees someone in a cell in the Hermit's rope, hood up, facing the back of the cell. It turns out to be Sludge in disguise.
* PlankGag: In one episode, while trying to make Tweeg's gold recipe, Quellor tells them to stand aside. Trudge turns around and knocks Quellor into the mixture with his club.
* PsychopathicManchild: All three are dangerous brutes and will pummel their enemies mad, but they have the mentality of children. When Quellor announces that they're going to the Ying Zoo, Drudge responds like an eager child.
* RealMenWearPink: Sludge wears pink armor.
* RememberTheNewGuy: They're not really introduced. They appear suddenly in "The Mushroom Forest" without even explaining who they are.
* RingRingCRUNCH: In "Winter Adventure", when the alarm clock in Tweeg's tower wakes them up, Sludge smashes it with his fist.
* SavageSpikedWeapons: In "Teddy's Quest", Drudge snatches a mace off a suit of armor to fight Quellor. It fit him being one of {{The Brute}}s.
* SelfDeprecation: When Drudge calls his cousin too stupid to be dishonest, he says it's a family trait.
* SimpletonVoice: They all sound this way at times, but mostly Trudge.
* SinisterSchnoz: Trudge has about the hugest nose in the show.
* TerribleTrio: They're three nasty but ineffective villains who are hardly ever seen one without the others. Sludge is the aggressive leader, Drudge is OnlySaneByComparison, and Trudge is the DumbMuscle of the three.
* VillainsOutShopping: When Quellor announces that they're going to the Ying Zoo to get Tweeg, Drudge is excited about going to the zoo. They also briefly join the good guys in a costume parade.
* VitriolicBestBuds: They don't always get along, but they stick together anyway.
* YourCostumeNeedsWork: In "Autumn Adventure", when they join Teddy and the Grunges at a costume party, Teddy mistakes them for Grunges in costumes.
* YourFavorite: Drudge brings Dredge some candy ("Slime treats! Your favorite!") to get on his good side before asking for a favor. Drudge enjoys the candy but still refuses to help until Drudge blackmails him.

!!Blatsmear Rogle
->'''Voiced by:''' Robert Bockstael
->'''First appearance:''' "The New M.A.V.O. Member"
A member of the M.A.V.O. Board of Directors. Usually a background character, though he has a notable role in a few episodes.
----
* AscendedExtra: When he first appears, he's treated as just one of the background monsters to the point where you can mistake which one is him if you're not paying attention. Later, he gets a supporting role in a few episodes.
* BrutalHonesty: He's the one who tells Quellor that he's hardly the Supreme Oppressor anymore without the Black Box, the source of his power. "More of a Lessor Oppressor."
* CranialEruption: In "Leekee Lake", after a Grunge bops him on the head, he's left with a bump.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Sludge suggests that they recruit Drudge's cousin Dredge, Rogle is nervous about it.
* GotVolunteered: When Quellor leads an expedition to recover the Black Box, he forces Rogle to be the one to dive for the wreck of the ''Eclipse''. It's all for nothing because it's too deep to swim to it.
* HornedHumanoid: He's got two horns and a vaguely humanoid shape.
* JackOfAllTrades: Being often a background character, he tends to fill whatever role the show requires for him at the time.
* LastNameBasis: We only know his first name because Bognostroclum called him that in his first appearance.
* MookLieutenant: During the hunt for Teddy Ruxpin in the winter, he leads the monsters.
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: His introduction episode says he's the originator of the slime pie, but when he gets his first significant role in an episode, he is officially identified as a Board of Directors member. Still later, he is shown leading a party tracking Teddy.
* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: He's a member of the M.A.V.O. Board of Directors, but it's never revealed what they actually do, and since the rest of the board members aren't identified, the board remains a mystery.
* RecurringExtra: One of several monsters who usually appears a lot to make M.A.V.O. seem larger than the major members.
* SuddenlyVoiced: He speaks for the first time in "Leekee Lake", twenty-six episodes after his debut.

* AnimalEspionage: In "The Hard to Find City", one of them feeds information on Tweeg's actions to Quellor.
* BatOutOfHell: They have bat wings, and some have other chiropteran features.
* EarWings: Some have wings sticking out of the side of their heads.
* {{Flight}}: They come in so many different designs, so not all of them have the same kinds of wings, but all of them can fly.
* InstantMessengerPigeon: A whole swarm of them. Their job is to fly invitations to M.A.V.O. meetings all over Grundo.
* MixAndMatchCritters: They're like rats, lizards, or mixes of the two, and they all have bat wings.
* MoralityPet: To Quellor. He seems to genuinely love his pets.
* NoNameGiven: Their species is never named. Quellor calls one of them a "stoolpigeon", but that could just be its job rather than its species.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Although they vary in appearance, they're all brown except for Quellor's favorite named Dweezil, who is light gray.
* ParrotPetPosition: Dweezil the gray one is known to perch on Quellor's shoulder.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: They serve a villain, and many of them look like lizards.

* BoardingParty: The M.A.V.O. pirates once used the ''Eclipse'' to board the Airship and kidnap the Trio.
* BowledOver: Gimmick uses a barrel to knock down the M.A.V.O. monsters in "Captured", accompanied by a bowling strike sound effect.

!!The Land of Ying
[[folder:In General]]
The country directly north of Grundo. A creepy land land of sharp rocks, swamps, and strange plants, the inhabitants are mostly vicious monsters and criminals. It's best known for the Ying Zoo, a tourist attraction in the capital city of Quagmire.
----
* CanonForeigner: The characters never visited Ying in the books, so all characters from Ying were created for the cartoon.
* EldritchLocation: The dirt sprays you or yells at you if you dig in the wrong place, the thorny trees can regenerate themselves immediately, the monsters don't adhere to basic biology, people apparently own scum farms, and all in all, it's a very unpleasant place to be.
* TheGreatWall: The Great Wall of Ying is a high stone wall running the length of the border that separates Ying from Grundo. Once you cross it, it seems like you've entered another world.
* GrimUpNorth: It's north of Grundo and the most wretched place in the series. It's not a frozen wasteland, but the land north of Ying certainly is.
* MenagerieOfMisery: The Ying Zoo keeps its exhibits (many of whom are actually sapient) in positively tiny cages more akin to prison cells than anything else. At least one animal is kept in a perpetual state of hunger so it can continually eat itself for the guests' amusement, while a nocturnal bat-like creature finds itself constantly illuminated. The Sorcerer boasts to have "captured one of everything from Grundo and the Land of Ying" as he extols patrons to come. And he's not above turning his more exotic guests into new exhibits if he can, even charging them room and board, as Teddy and Grubby found out when they attempted to infiltrate the place.
* {{Mordor}}: Ying is mostly covered in filthy swamps and ominous-looking rock formations, and the people there are some of the nastiest folks you could meet.
* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Even compared to the regular monsters of the show, some of the native creatures are weird (such as the zoo's Gorge Monster, which eats itself every few minutes).
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The locals feel right at home in a WretchedHive in the middle of an EldritchLocation, but they're absolutely terrified of Illiops.
* WretchedHive: The capital city of Quagmire is well-named. Gangs of punks run the streets, and a CorruptCorporateExecutive can get away with whatever he pleases.

[[folder:The Sorcerer]]
!!The Sorcerer
->'''Voiced by:''' Robert Bockstael
->'''First appearance:''' "Tweeg the Vegetable"
The Wizard of Grundo's younger brother and the proprietor of the Ying Zoo, a tourist attraction that displays monsters and exotic creatures. Both are driven by greed, but the Sorcerer is more ruthless and villainous.
----
* TheAnnouncer: He announces the attractions at the Ying Zoo with a loudspeaker.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: He's younger than the Wizard, and the two hate each other and call each other insulting nicknames.
* ArcVillain: The main antagonist for the Ying Zoo five-episode arc who never appears again.
* BadBoss: He's not very nice to anyone, not even his employees. At one point, he tells his lackey Spango, "Remind me to have something horrible done to you later."
* TheBarnum: Like the Wizard, he's a showman who runs a tourist attraction and only cares about milking people of as much dough as he can get from them.
* BigBadEnsemble: He leads his own group of villains separate from Tweeg, Quellor, the Mudblup King, and the Gutangs.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: He captures and collects exotic creatures to fill his zoo, and the rarer and odder his attractions, the more money he makes.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: M.A.V.O. is an organization of {{Card Carrying Villain}}s who want to spread evil and darkness across Grundo. The Sorcerer is a CorruptCorporateExecutive who only cares about profit, never calls himself a villain, and has no concerns beyond his corner of Ying.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Like his brother, he'll lie and deceive to con people out of their money, but he does it by running the Zoo as a major business, whereas the Wizard just sells honest information.
* EmbarrassingNickname: He hates when his brother calls him "Bucky". He responds by calling his brother "Stinky".
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's only ever called the Sorcerer.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Wizard. While both are greedy con men, the Wizard is a fair man who tries to please people and is willing to help them if he gets paid. The Sorcerer, on the other hand, locks people in cages and exploits them for money.
* EvilSorcerer: He's a fake sorcerer, but he's definitely a villain. There's probably a reason why he's called the Sorcerer and his good brother is called the Wizard.
* FakeWizardry: In a world where few people understand advanced technology, he passes the off zoo's electric lighting system as magic.
* TheJailer: He may see himself as a zookeeper, but he treats the beings who inhabit it like prisoners. And they didn't even do anything wrong. They're just a good way to bring in cash.
* MrExposition: He tells Teddy and Grubby the story about an Illiop who used to live in the zoo but escaped years ago. This turns out to be more important than it seems when you learn who that Illiop is.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Quellor gives him one when he refuses to hand over Tweeg: if he doesn't, he'll become an attraction in his own zoo via the Black Box.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The well-being of his exhibits doesn't matter to him. The only thing he cares about is how much money they make him.
* PointyEars: Like his brother, his ears are pointy.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: He's called the Sorcerer, but he's never seen doing any sorcery. Granted, he and his brother can't do real magic, but the Wizard at least tries to pass himself off as a wizard. Apart from the faux-magical lighting system mentioned above, the Sorcerer doesn't do anything even resembling magic. He's just a businessman who happens to dress like a sorcerer.
* QuarrelingSong: In "Wizardland", he and his brother sing a song that is basically a debate about who's got the better tourist attraction.
* ReversePsychology: He pulls this on Gimmick. When Wizardland steals his customers, he tries to get Gimmick to build a theme park ride in the zoo. Gimmick initially refuses because it does him no good if he's still a prisoner, but the Sorcerer plays on Gimmick's pride and pretends to doubt whether he can do it. Gimmick, being an InsufferableGenius, decides to prove he can.
* SiblingRivalry: He and the Wizard take this to the next level. The Wizard opens a theme park called Wizardland across the way from the Ying Zoo, and the two constantly compete for customers.
* SloganYellingMegaphoneGuy: He uses a megaphone to announce how great his zoo is and bring back the customers that his big brother is stealing at his new theme park.
* SurroundedByIdiots: He feels this way about his employees.
* TrashTalk: He and the Wizard enjoy doing this to each other. And they use megaphones to do it.

->'''Voiced by:''' Les Lye

Drudge's tentacled cousin from a swamp in Ying. M.A.V.O. recruited him to retrieve the Black Box from Leekee Lake.
----
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Drudge and Dredge's names are almost identical.
* CombatTentacles: In "Up for Air", he attacks Teddy in Leekee Lake with his tentacles. He rips Teddy's diving helmet off and might have made Teddy drown if Teddy hadn't discovered the Fourth Crystal's power.
* DidNotSeeThatComing: As he tries to chase and eat Teddy in his diving suit, he did not expect a second Illiop to show up and give him an electric shock. "Drudge didn't say nothing about any underwater hazards."

Then, when he tries to stop the Sub-Water Boat, Teddy presses a button that releases an even bigger shock.
* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: He is Drudge's cousin and has a similar face to him, so one of his parents must be a Troll, but from his lower half, his other parent must be some aquatic cephalopod-like creature. How they managed to conceive Dredge is a mystery.
* HybridMonster: Based on his appearance and relationship to Drudge, he must be the offspring of a Troll and some kind of cephalopod-like monster.
* KnottyTentacles: While he's chasing Teddy around the wreck of the ''Eclipse'', he sticks two of his tentacles through the portholes, causing Teddy to tie them in a knot.
* NervesOfSteel: Subverted. While M.A.V.O. is waiting for Dredge to come back up, Quellor suggests that he might have met his match down there. Drudge denies this and states the trope name exactly. Just then, Dredge leaps out of the water in terror.
-->'''Quellor:''' Nerves of steel, eh?\\
'''Drudge:''' Okay then. How about aluminum foil?
* OddNameOut: He's the only known member of his family whose name doesn't rhyme. His parents are Smudge and Grudge, and his cousin is Drudge.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: The reason Dredge is reluctant to help his cousin? When they were kids, Drudge ate his coloring book! Even after all these years, Dredge hasn't forgiven him.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: After getting shocked one time too many, he swims away as fast as he can, jumps out of the lake, and resigns.
* SuperPersistentPredator: When he spots Teddy in his diving suit, he decides to stop searching and have lunch.

* ArmlessBiped: Bounders have two legs but no arms.
* CallousnessTowardsEmergency: In "Grundo Graduation", Tweeg's tower catches fire, and the Bounders just stand there watching it. In "The Great Grundo Ground Race", they're callous towards Tweeg being stuck in quicksand, claiming that they're too busy singing.
* ComedicSociopathy: Whenever Tweeg becomes a victim of slapstick or his schemes backfire, the Bounders tend to just stand by laughing.
* DumbMuscle: A Bounder is much stronger than he looks, and some of them aren't very bright.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When they first appear,
* TheGadfly: Like L.B., they love seeing Tweeg's reaction when they make a rude remark.
* HandyFeet: Though most Bounders use their mouths as hands, they can use their feet.
* HumanLadder: L.B. treats Biff as one in "King Nogburt's Castle" because he's too short to reach Tweeg's telescope.

* NamedByTheAdaptation: Some Bounders, such as Harry and Hugo, were in the books but unnamed.
* PetTheDog: Though they annoy Tweeg and complain about working conditions, they do willingly go to rescue him from Quellor's henchmen in "Winter Adventure", and when everyone in Grundo is giving out holiday gifts, they give Tweeg the best gift he could ask of them: they get his name right.
* PunchClockVillain: Just like L.B., they help Tweeg commit crimes because it's their job.
* SimpletonVoice: Spike and Biff have voices that make them sound unintelligent.
* ThreeStoogesShoutOut: Biff has Moe's bowl cut, Hugo has red hair around a bald spot like Larry, and Spike is sometimes bald like Curly (he's also been drawn with L.B.'s hair). Harry's thick, parted hair may be based on Shemp.

* WavingSignsAround: In the strike in "Teddy's Quest" mentioned above, the Bounders go on strike at the tower, waving signs and demanding their pay.

----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: She only wears a blue bow around her horn.
* AdaptationDyeJob: She appears in an illustration in one of the books where her hair is longer and blonde. In the cartoon, she has the same tuft of pink hair as L.B.
* ArmlessBiped: Being a Bounder, she has two legs and no arms.
* AscendedExtra: She only has a minor appearance in a single book. In the cartoon, she's a recurring character.

* BeachKiss: In "On the Beaches", as she and L.B. stroll along the beach, [[spoiler:L.B. proposes to her and she says yes]], followed by a kiss between them.

* MaliciousMisnaming: Just like the rest of the Bounders, she'll call Tweeg any old thing that starts with "T-W".

* SatelliteLoveInterest: She doesn't have much of a personality other than "L.B.'s girlfriend".

* TuftOfHeadFur: She has the same tuft of pink hair around the base of her horn as L.B.

[[folder:Mudblups]]
!!Mudblups
->'''Voiced by:''' Various
->'''First appearance:''' "Beware of the Mudblups"
A group of strange creatures made of mud. They live in a cave in the Great Desert and rarely venture out because they can't stand bright light.
----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: In "Win One for the Twipper", they wear sunglasses and Grungeball caps.
* AchillesHeel: When the bright light from Louie's camera blinds a Mudblup, Arin tells Teddy and Gimmick that the Mudblups detest bright lights.
* AdaptationExpansion: In the books, they're not developed much more than being a nasty group of creatures who capture anyone who comes along. In the adaptations, they mine diamonds and have a king.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Mudblups are repulsive monsters who live underground (as they are WeakenedByTheLight) and enslave anyone who dares wander into their caves.
* BerserkButton: Do not enter their cave uninvited or steal their coal, or they will throw you in the dungeon.
* BlindedByTheLight: Mudblups live underground, so they can't stand bright lights. Louie's camera's light blinds the prison warden so Teddy, Gimmick, and Arin can escape, and when they come back to rescue Grubby, they carry candles.
* TheBrute: They're all strong but not too smart.
* CarryABigStick: Large clubs are their weapon of choice.
* ChekhovsSkill: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", a Mudblup clubs a rock that ricochets around the cave. Tweeg remembers this and comes up with a plan to use the Mudblups as a Grungeball team.
* CoolShades: There is one way that Mudblups can venture out in sunlight: by wearing sunglasses. The King wears a 1980s visor-style pair.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: When they catch Leota and Seymour, they lock them in a cell, not realizing that the bars are too widely spaced to hold them.
* HiddenDepths: In "Win One for the Twipper", the Mudblups turn out to be pretty good Grungeball players.
* HiddenElfVillage: They live in a cave in the Great Desert where no one else lives, have no mercy for thieves and intruders, and don't interact much with the outside world.
* InnateNightVision: Because they spend all their lives in caves, they can see in the dark.
* KryptoniteProofSuit: Bright sunlight hurts their eyes, but they can be outside on a sunny day if they wear sunglasses.
* LethalChef: Prince Arin says that their food is terrible, although he thinks Grubby's root stew is worse.
* MuckMonster: They are made of mud, hence their name. How these creatures evolved in a dry desert environment is anyone's guess.
* OhCrap: This is their reaction anytime a bright light hits their eyes.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: They have red eyes to make them look even more menacing.
* RockMonster: In some ways, they behave more like this than a MuckMonster. While they're made of mud, they don't leave puddles or splatters of mud on whatever they touch. Mud is technically made of rock, so it counts.
* SuperStrength: They're able to break right through solid rock despite being merely made of mud.
* VerbalTicName: They often make "blup-blup" sounds, hence their name.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: In the animated series, a Mudblup often sounds like a few people speaking at the same time.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Prince Arin explains that because the Mudblups spend all their time in darkness, they can't stand bright lights. The heroes use this to their advantage multiple times in the series.
* WorthlessYellowRocks: They mine both coal and diamonds and think that the former is much more valuable and attractive than the latter.
* YourCostumeNeedsWork: Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge briefly mistake them for the Trio, who were dressed in Mudblup costumes earlier.

* CoolHelmet: Their helmet is so large that it covers their head and entire body and is specially designed to look like an owl.
* ExpressiveMask: Sometimes, their helmets show expression, like an EyePop that says OhCrap.
* EyePop: As said above, one of them does this when he realizes he's in trouble while flying his plane in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains".
* TheFaceless: The Gutangs' armor always hides their faces, although the Court Jester's eyes are visible through his mask.
* FlowerPotDrop: Teddy and Gimmick push a large planter on top of some Gutangs so they can knock them out and steal their armor.
* GreenAndMean: If their arms, legs, and tails say anything, Gutangs are green villains under their armor.
* HarpoonGun: Their planes have mounted rotating spear guns. Luckily, they're not very good shots.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Their weapons usually either miss or hit the hull of the Airship, never stopping the heroes. The closest they get to a good hit is when one of their arrows hits the airbag, but Teddy plugs the leak.
* InverseLawOfSharpnessAndAccuracy: The Gutangs' spears and arrows might hit the Airship or damage something, but they'll never actually hit or injure a person.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Often, during Gutang raids or battles, a sped-up rearrangement of the Gutang song will play in the background.
* ManiacMonkeys: Gutangs are monkey-like creatures and hostile to pretty much everyone that they can't do a business deal with.
* {{Mooks}}: They all look alike and most of them exist to give the heroes someone to fight or shoot down.

* OminousOwl: They're not actually owls, but their armor is designed to make them look like giant owls. They look sinister in it, and they're invariably evil.
* PrecursorKillers: In the finale, the truth behind them is finally revealed: [[spoiler:For a long time, the Illiops thrived in the Hard to Find City and had a prosperous relationship with the Illipers. But then the Gutangs attacked both of their peoples. The surviving Illiops were driven out and forced to flee Grundo as the Gutangs took it over their city.]]
* TheRuntAtTheEnd: During their VillainSong, when a troop of Gutangs are marching on patrol, there's one running after them to catch up who ends up tripping and falling down the steps.
* TapOnTheHead: The heroes sometimes knock them out but never kill them.
* VillainSong: They have a song that they sing while marching about how terrible they are:
-->We're cruel, we're nasty, we're ugly, and we're mean.\\
We're as bad a gang of evil Gutangs as you have ever seen.\\
So don't come near our fortress, or you will have to pay\\
A terrible price. It won't be nice. It could ruin your whole day.
* VillainsOutShopping: They love to play card games in their spare time.
* WaterSourceTampering: King Nogburt's castle gets its water from [[spoiler:a series of secret underground aqueducts built long ago]], but the Gutangs have been secretly stealing the water, causing the kingdom's drought.

* {{Ambadassador}}: All Gutangs are trained in warfare. Presumably, this includes the Ambassador who acts as their liaison to M.A.V.O.
* AssInAmbassador: The Gutang Ambassador may be good at his job, but he's a jerk and a villain who seizes the opportunity to milk M.A.V.O. of all the money he can.
* CanonForeigner: Didn't appear in the original book and tape series.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He is only ever referred to as "Ambassador".
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The Ambassador is willing to do business with M.A.V.O. and provide his people's services, but only if they get paid. When Quellor asks whether they're ever evil just for the fun of it, the Ambassador says, "Yes, but that costs extra."

* CanonForeigner: Didn't appear in the original book and tape series.

* MixAndMatchCritters: He seems to borrow features from dogs, bats, lizards, and the mythical Cyclops.

* ConvenientlyCellmates: Following a coup at M.A.V.O., the deposed Quellor soon finds himself in one of his own prison cells. An episode later finds him joined by Teddy of all people, and the two even get to sing a duet about how little either of them likes being jailed (this does not lead to bonding between the two).
* EnragedByIdiocy: He gets furious with Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge whenever they say or do anything stupid.
* AwfulWeddedLife: There was no love between her and Elroy. Their relationship consisted of her always putting him down and hating him for being such a NiceGuy. They only got married because she was a GoldDigger and he was a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter.
* VillainousMotherSonDuo: With her son Tweeg, whenever they manage to get on the same page. She will not miss a chance to berate and belittle him, but Eleanor is quite supportive of her son's villainous career and will express pride when he manages to pull off a dastardly plan (one example being when he sold her to the Mudblup King for his own freedom and a truck of jewels).
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The Understander is fairer to those beneath her than Quellor. She gives Tweeg a chance when he claims he can lead her to Teddy, promises to let Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge off punishment for helping her, and even accepts Eleanor's nomination of Tweeg as the new gatekeeper.
* InsufferableImbecile: Sludge. All three are DumbMuscle EvilMinions who love causing pain and destruction, but Sludge is the nastiest, even being a jerk to Trudge.
* YourFavorite: Drudge brings Dredge some candy ("Slime treats! Your favorite!") to get on his good side before asking for a favor. Drudge enjoys the candy but still refuses to help until Drudge blackmails him.

* TheDoorSlamsYou: In "To the Rescue", when Wooly knocks it on his door, he knocks it over right onto the Wizard and leaves him SquashedFlat.
* EmbarrassingNickname: The Sorcerer calls him "Stinky". He has one for the Sorcerer too, "Bucky".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When Teddy says that "the poor princess" needs their help, he says "''Poor'' princess? Forget it!" Gimmick clarifies that Aruzia is a rich but unfortunate princess, so the Wizard changes his mind and lets them in. And that's all you need to know about him.

* CanonForeigner: The characters never visited Ying in the books, so all characters from Ying were created for the cartoon.
* EldritchLocation: The dirt sprays you or yells at you if you dig in the wrong place, the thorny trees can regenerate themselves immediately, the monsters don't adhere to basic biology, people apparently own scum farms, and all in all, it's a very unpleasant place to be.
* TheGreatWall: The Great Wall of Ying is a high stone wall running the length of the border that separates Ying from Grundo. Once you cross it, it seems like you've entered another world.
* GrimUpNorth: It's north of Grundo and the most wretched place in the series. It's not a frozen wasteland, but the land north of Ying certainly is.
* MenagerieOfMisery: The Ying Zoo keeps its exhibits (many of whom are actually sapient) in positively tiny cages more akin to prison cells than anything else. At least one animal is kept in a perpetual state of hunger so it can continually eat itself for the guests' amusement, while a nocturnal bat-like creature finds itself constantly illuminated. The Sorcerer boasts to have "captured one of everything from Grundo and the Land of Ying" as he extols patrons to come. And he's not above turning his more exotic guests into new exhibits if he can, even charging them room and board, as Teddy and Grubby found out when they attempted to infiltrate the place.
* {{Mordor}}: Ying is mostly covered in filthy swamps and ominous-looking rock formations, and the people there are some of the nastiest folks you could meet.
* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Even compared to the regular monsters of the show, some of the native creatures are weird (such as the zoo's Gorge Monster, which eats itself every few minutes).
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The locals feel right at home in a WretchedHive in the middle of an EldritchLocation, but they're absolutely terrified of Illiops.

* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:He was captured by M.A.V.O., had his memory erased, and got sent to the Ying Zoo. Even after escaping, he couldn't return to his family due to having lost his memory, so he ended up living in Leekee Lake.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's just called the Hermit of Leekee Lake because no one knew his name. Teddy addresses him as Mr. Hermit.
* GaleForceSound: When he and Teddy say goodbye to Zeb and Maple, Zeb tells him to speak up. He shouts at him, blowing him backwards because Zeb's a tiny Elf.
* GoodParents: [[spoiler:Even before he remembered he was Teddy father, he was always good to him, even being a PapaWolf.]]
* GutFeeling: In "Fugitives", he tells Teddy that they should approach Gimmick's house cautiously, saying he has a hunch that something's wrong. He was right because M.A.V.O. was guarding the house.

* TheHermit: It's what everyone calls him because he keeps to himself.

* HouseSquatting: He doesn't own his lair. He just found it. It was built by an old civilization on his island, but since no one used it anymore, he settled there.
* IAmSong: The characters sing a song about him and his legend, but the lyrics make it clear that no one knows for sure what he is. So, more of an "I Might Be" Song.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Like Teddy, he does not fall under M.A.V.O.'s evil spell when they have the Crystals, suggesting that Illiops are immune to it. Maybe this is why M.A.V.O. fears them.

* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: He keeps to himself so much that people aren't even sure what he is. The Grunges think he's a sea monster. He's just an Illiop who's not comfortable being around anyone.
* MysteriousProtector: He saves Teddy from drowning in the river, then sneaks away before anyone sees him, leaving Teddy uncertain if he was a dream or not. The next time he saves Teddy, from Dredge while underwater, he drops the secrecy for Teddy only.
* MysteriousWatcher: After Leota and Wooly find Teddy alone in the Hermit's camp, the Hermit spends the episode watching him from a distance. He's very interested in the younger Illiop but not ready to show his face yet.
* NobodyHereButUsStatues: [[spoiler:He surprises everyone in Rillonia with his return, including his wife, by pretending to be the statue that was built to commemorate him.]]
* NoNeedForNames: He tells Teddy that he doesn't think he has a name. He didn't need one because he had no friends before Teddy.

* ShrinkingViolet: The real reason he runs away from people is that he's very shy.

* AscendedExtra: He and Louie appear more in the cartoon than in the books and have major roles in some episodes.
* AshFace: When using a flame or rocket to start a race in Wizardweek, this usually happens to him.
* TheBarnum: While not as unscrupulous as his brother, the Wizard of Grundo does fool his customers and charges a lot for his services. Though he does genuinely try to make his customers happy and satisfied.
* BigBrotherBully: He's older than the Sorcerer, and the two hate each other and call each other insulting nicknames.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: The symbol on his hat is a stylized W for "Wizard".
* CoolOldGuy: Wooly thinks he's this. While he only seems to care about money, he does act like one at times.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The Wizardweek arc focuses more on him when he throws a sports festival to bring in money.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: In "To the Rescue", when Wooly knocks it on his door, he knocks it over right onto the Wizard and leaves him SquashedFlat.
* EmbarrassingNickname: The Sorcerer calls him "Stinky". He has one for the Sorcerer too, "Bucky".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When Teddy says that "the poor princess" needs their help, he says "''Poor'' princess? Forget it!" Gimmick clarifies that Aruzia is a rich but unfortunate princess, so the Wizard changes his mind and lets them in. And that's all you need to know about him.
* EurekaMoment: In "Wizardweek", after his destroyed amusement park left him broke and depressed, hearing the word "festival" gives him a brilliant idea: hold a sports festival to honor himself and charge admission fees.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone in Grundo calls him the Wizard. His name hasn't been revealed.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Sure, he's a greedy deceiver who only helps people if they pay, but unlike his evil brother, he never harms anyone, is fair to his customers, and the information he sells is true.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Literature/LandOfOz the Wizard of Oz]]. Both are fake wizards living in a fantasy country, using ordinary devices to pass themselves off as powerful wizards. There is even a ShoutOut to it when he says [[Film/TheWizardOfOz "That's a horoscope of a different color."]]
* {{Facepalm}}: Does this when Louie misunderstands him over their radio in his first appearance.
* FakeWizardry: The Wizard does this as a schtick to attract customers. His "magic eye" is just a movie projector screen, but the technology is so rare and obscure that it's easy to fool people. Despite his fakery, all the information he provides is as true as he can make it.
* GoodCounterpart: Compared to his brother, he's a much nicer person despite being similarly greedy. While the Sorcerer of Ying makes money by exploiting people in his zoo, the Wizard genuinely tries to entertain and help people.
* IAmSong: Wooly and Leota sing a song all about who he is and what he does in "To the Rescue".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's greedy and only seems to care about money, but he does have morals that his brother lacks. During Teddy's DisneyDeath, he mourns Teddy, and in the penultimate episode, [[spoiler:he officiates L.B. and Buffy's wedding]].
* KnowledgeBroker: His main source of income is providing information for a fee. While he uses deceit to pass it off as magic, at least the information is as accurate as he's able to give.
* LadiesAndGerms: Says "Ladies and gentlemonsters" when speaking to the monsters of Ying.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's not particular about who he helps if he gets paid.
* PhonyPsychic: The Wizard is an unusual subversion. While he's something of a con artist, the information he presents to his customers is true. He claims the images he shows are the results of his magic, but they're just footage filmed by Louie.
* PointyEars: His ears are pointy, a feature that most Perloons seem to lack.
* QuarrelingSong: In "Wizardland", he and his brother sing a song that is basically a debate about who's got the better tourist attraction.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he only works for money, he's a fair judge or umpire when he oversees sporting events.
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: He fires a cannon to start the Great Grundo Ground Race and gets recoiled backwards.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Always wears a blue robe and pointed blue hat with white suns, moons, and stars all over.
* SiblingRivalry: He and the Sorcerer take this to the next level. The Wizard opens a theme park called Wizardland right across the way from the Sorcerer's own attraction the Ying Zoo, and the two constantly compete for customers.
* SloganYellingMegaphoneGuy: He uses a megaphone to announce the attractions at Wizardland to draw his brother's customers away.
* SpeechImpediment: He is a Perloon, but instead of a stutter like Gimmick and Eunice, he talks with a slight lisp.
* SquashedFlat: In "Wizardland", when he declares his new theme park open for business, the customers trample all over him and leave him flat. He's back to normal in his next scene.
* SweetTooth: He admits that he has one in "Tweeg the Vegetable" when he tries some donuts from L.B.
* TrashTalk: He and the Sorcerer enjoy doing this to each other. And they use megaphones to do it.
* WizardBeard: He has a white beard like a lot of wizards, although shorter than most.
* WizardClassic: While he's not a real wizard, he looks and acts the part as much as he can. He wears a robe, pointed hat, and white beard and lives in a fortress in the wilderness.
* AshFace: When using a flame or rocket to start a race in Wizardweek, this usually happens to him.
* TheBarnum: While not as unscrupulous as his brother, the Wizard of Grundo does fool his customers and charges a lot for his services. Though he does genuinely try to make his customers happy and satisfied.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone in Grundo calls him the Wizard. His name hasn't been revealed.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Sure, he's a greedy deceiver who only helps people if they pay, but unlike his evil brother, he never harms anyone, is fair to his customers, and the information he sells is true.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Literature/LandOfOz the Wizard of Oz]]. Both are fake wizards living in a fantasy country, using ordinary devices to pass themselves off as powerful wizards. There is even a ShoutOut to it when he says [[Film/TheWizardOfOz "That's a horoscope of a different color."]]
* {{Facepalm}}: Does this when Louie misunderstands him over their radio in his first appearance.
* FakeWizardry: The Wizard does this as a schtick to attract customers. His "magic eye" is just a movie projector screen, but the technology is so rare and obscure that it's easy to fool people. Despite his fakery, all the information he provides is as true as he can make it.
* GoodCounterpart: Compared to his brother, he's a much nicer person despite being similarly greedy. While the Sorcerer of Ying makes money by exploiting people in his zoo, the Wizard genuinely tries to entertain and help people.

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's not particular about who he helps if he gets paid.
* PhonyPsychic: The Wizard is an unusual subversion. While he's something of a con artist, the information he presents to his customers is true. He claims the images he shows are the results of his magic, but they're just footage filmed by Louie.
* PointyEars: His ears are pointy, a feature that most Perloons seem to lack.
* QuarrelingSong: In "Wizardland", he and his brother sing a song that is basically a debate about who's got the better tourist attraction.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he only works for money, he's a fair judge or umpire when he oversees sporting events.
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: He fires a cannon to start the Great Grundo Ground Race and gets recoiled backwards.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Always wears a blue robe and pointed blue hat with white suns, moons, and stars all over.
* SiblingRivalry: He and the Sorcerer take this to the next level. The Wizard opens a theme park called Wizardland right across the way from the Sorcerer's own attraction the Ying Zoo, and the two constantly compete for customers.
* SloganYellingMegaphoneGuy: He uses a megaphone to announce the attractions at Wizardland to draw his brother's customers away.

* BadassCrew: They work as a team to do amazing things while risking danger and overcoming their enemies.
* BewareTheHonestOnes: They're all good, moral, and law-abiding people, yet for some reason, Tweeg always thinks that they're up to something. Whatever trouble they get into, the three of them always win in the end, and the villains rarely see it coming. Grundo villains pride themselves on being thieves, liars, and cheaters, so an honest person is not only hard for them to predict, it ''scares'' them!
* BigDamnHeroes: When needed, they always come to the rescue of their friends, including each other, in the nick of time.
* ChekhovsSkill: Leota teaches them sign language in "Sign of a Friend". This proves life-saving a few episodes later when it lets Leota's deaf student tell them that the schoolhouse is on fire.
* ChromaticArrangement: They each get one of the RBY primary colors: Teddy wears red, Gimmick wears blue, and Grubby is yellow.
* CoveredInMud: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", they splatter mud all over themselves to disguise themselves as Mudblups.
* DefiantCaptive: When M.A.V.O. captures them in "Captured", they refuse to give in to Quellor's demands. Even if they WalkThePlank. When the Sorcerer captures Gimmick in the Ying arc, Gimmick declares that iron bars won't contain his spirit. And in "Fugitivies", Grubby and Gimmick are being guarded by M.A.V.O. but refuse to admit that they know Teddy.

* DressingAsTheEnemy: After entering the Hard to Find City for the first time, Teddy and his friends beat up some unsuspecting Gutangs, steal their armor, and put it on to avoid detection.
* EmbodimentOfVirtue: The Crystals reveal which virtues they embody, like "Imagination" or "Inventiveness" for Gimmick, "Honesty" for Grubby, and "Friendship" or "Generosity" for Teddy. The things they do in the series exemplify this.
* FearIsTheAppropriateResponse: When the Reducing Machine enlarges a strawberry that starts to roll after them, they agree that running would be the best idea, so they do.
* FireForgedFriends: They become friends with Prince Arin when they get captured by and escape from the Mudblups together. After they offer to put off their treasure hunt to help find his sister, he calls their friendship the best treasure he ever had.
* FreudianTrio:
** Grubby: Sometimes the Id (in everyday life when he'd rather just relax and eat), sometimes the Superego (when he's reluctant to go adventuring)
** Gimmick: Sometimes the Superego (when he'd rather take the time to think and study), sometimes the Id (when he'll act impulsively for his pride and science).
** Teddy: Always the Ego who mediates between their extremes.
* AFriendInNeed: They're always willing to help a friend.
* GoKartingWithBowser: In "Win One for the Twipper" and the Wizardweek arc, they compete against Tweeg and L.B. in sporting events.

* HumanLadder: They do this whenever they have to reach a high place, such as escaping from the Mudblup dungeon to a hole in the surface.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: They rarely miss when shooting slingshots with Grubby's root stew. They shoot down whole squadrons of Gutang flying machines this way.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Whenever they use the Reducing Machine, they shrink down to the size of a bug and have amazing adventures.
* IndyEscape: In "The Faded Fobs", they run away from a giant rolling strawberry.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Gimmick is decades older than Teddy and Grubby.
* InterspeciesFriendship: An Illiop, an Octopede, and a Perloon. They also befriend many other races.
* KeepTheReward: When Arin offers them a reward for helping save his sister, they turn it down, since they didn't do it for a reward. Arin insists, though, that they at least keep the Crystals.
* LandSeaSky: Teddy was raised in a country house where his family grew food (land), Grubby is an Octopede, who are natural sailors (sea), and Gimmick designed, built, and commands the Airship (sky).
* LivingMuseumExhibit: In Ying, the Sorcerer's forces capture them as specimens for their zoo. Gimmick is billed as "Gimmick the Great" where his intelligence is treated like an attraction, Grubby joins "the Amazing Octopedes", and Teddy replaces the Sorcerer's star attraction, an Illiop who escaped years ago.
* MadeASlave: In "Beware of the Mudblups", the Mudblups capture them and force Grubby to work in the kitchen and Teddy and Gimmick to mine coal.
* MeaningfulName: Teddy is a bear-like Illiop and based on a teddy bear, Grubby resembles the larva (or ''grub'') of insects, and Newton Gimmick is a scientist (like Isaac Newton) whose inventions are his gimmicks.
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: When one of their own is in danger, they refuse to abandon each other. In "Beware of the Mudblups", after Teddy and Gimmick escape, they go back to save Grubby as soon as they can.
* NurseWithGoodIntentions: In "Tweeg Gets the Tweezles", L.B. brings them to help his sick boss. All Tweeg gets is a bad taste from Grubby's soup and burns from Gimmick's mustard plaster.
* OddFriendship: They're all very different but the closest of friends:
** Teddy and Grubby: Teddy is daring and seeks out adventure, while Grubby is somewhat cowardly and would rather avoid it.
** Teddy and Gimmick: One is a FarmBoy who prefers to learn by going out into the world, while the other is a scientist who led a quiet life for many years before the series just tinkering away in his lab.
** Grubby and Gimmick: Gimmick is a brilliant scientist but somewhat absent-minded, while Grubby's more of a down-to-earth but BookDumb everyman.
* OhCrap: They get this reaction whenever they realize they're in trouble, such as when the Airship is going to crash in the first episode or when the cave roof is about to collapse in the second episode.
* OnlyThePureOfHeart: As the reassembled medallion says, "Only the pure of spirit may find the Treasure of Knowledge". In the live-action special, Teddy speculates that whoever wrote it wanted someone like them to take the Crystals.
* OutOfFocus: All three have speaking roles in every episode, but they don't appear much in "Tweeg's Mom", which focuses on the villains.
* PaperThinDisguise: In "Tweeg Joins M.A.V.O.", they just put on hats and aprons to infiltrate M.A.V.O,. and no one realizes Teddy is an Illiop until his disguise falls off. DoubleSubverted when Gimmick recognized two Mudblups were really Teddy and Grubby in disguise as a prank... not because of two Mudblups having furry feet or eight legs, but because [[spoiler:Mudblups hate daylight and these two Mudblups were out in daylight without sunglasses]].
* PoorCommunicationKills: In "Tweeg Joins M.A.V.O.", Teddy and Grubby think Tweeg stole the Crystal Book (so does Tweeg), but Gimmick knows it's his book ''All About Fobs''. They could have avoided a lot of trouble if they mentioned the books by name.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: While it's played straight for most of the series, it gets averted once. When M.A.V.O. succeeds in collecting all the Crystals, the dark sides of all of Teddy's friends' personalities are brought to the fore, causing them to abandon him when he needs them most. This results in Teddy having to go on a mission alone.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: An adventurous FarmBoy with ChronicHeroSyndrome, a [[BrutalHonesty brutally-honest]] CowardlyLion BigEater, and an AbsentMindedProfessor inventor with a SpeechImpediment.
* RegularCharacter: They're the only three characters to appear in every episode.
* TheRival: Tweeg constantly sees them this way and enjoys competing against them.
* SaveTheVillain: They will do this out of Teddy's desire to help everyone. It works in Teddy's favor when saving L.B. means that the latter owes him later.
* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: When they get captured by the M.A.V.O. pirates, Quellor offers them great wealth if they hand over the Crystals, but they refuse because you can't put a price on the Crystals.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: After Teddy connects his half of the medallion with the other half, the inscription reads "Only the Pure of Spirit May Find the Treasure of Knowledge." This leads the heroes to discover that said treasure is not the adjoining room full of gold and jewels but six Crystals. Arin suggests that the Crystal were probably meant for the Trio all along.
* SecurityCling: When Grubby and Gimmick are startled by Old Beanly's waking reaction in "King Nogburt's Castle", Gimmick jumps in Teddy's arms and Grubby climbs on top of Teddy.
* SignatureTeamTransport: The Airship is their easy-to-recognize way of getting around.
* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: In "The Lemonade Stand", Tweeg puts on a disguise and becomes a SnakeOilSalesman who convinces everyone that he's selling a Tweezle remedy. In the next episode, to get everyone's money back, the Trio disguise themselves, make Tweeg think they have a machine that can turn colored water into precious stones, and trick him into buying it.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Because the show is an AnimatedMusical, they break into song all the time for no reason. Most of their songs are from one of the cassette tapes.
* TrueCompanions: They're as close and family and will do anything for each other.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: During the Great Grundo Ground Race, they must sneak into the Mudblup cave to get some more coal. The footprints they leave behind make the other contestants think they're supposed to go in there, and they get attacked by Mudblups.
* WalkingTheEarth: Subverted. It starts out this way, with Teddy and Grubby prepared to do it, but they return to Gimmick's house at the end of each adventure.
* WeirdnessMagnet: At the end "Leekee Lake", Teddy concludes that they are this because ever since they found the Crystals, the most peculiar things seem to happen to them.
* WeNeedADistraction: In "The Rainbow Mine", when Teddy is in Tweeg's medicine wagon, Gimmick and Grubby distract L.B. long enough for Teddy to sneak out unseen.

* LandInTheSaddle: In "The Day Teddy Met Grubby", while trying to stop a stampede of animals, he and Aruzia jump and land on a pair of running bareback Cloppids.
* LastNameBasis: The members of M.A.V.O. sometimes just call him "Ruxpin".
* TheLeader: He leads the Trio on their adventures.
* LetsGetOutOfHere: Says this to Grubby word for word when they're attacked by a pack of Bounders in the first episode.
* LiteralCliffhanger:
** In "The Rainbow Mine", after Rainbow Falls turns into rapids and he gets swept away over the falls, he grabs a dangling root, hanging on until Wooly rescues him.
** Not an actual cliff, but near the end of "Captured", he is still hanging on for life from the bottom of the ''Eclipse''. This time, he plummets.
* LuredIntoATrap: In "Fugitives", when M.A.V.O. captures the Hermit by mistake, they use him as bait to lure Teddy into a trap.
* LyingToProtectYourFeelings: He often tells white lies to avoid hurting someone's feelings, mostly when he doesn't want to tell Grubby that his root recipes taste terrible. Later, it extends to the Hermit's "chewy vegetable" (underwater plants).
* NeverSayDie: When Teddy falls from the ''Eclipse'', everyone obviously thinks he's dead, but he's only called "gone" or something similar. The characters do say "die" on occasion, but generally only when they worry that someone ''might'' die in the future.
* NiceGuy: Teddy is kind, caring, and friendly to everyone, even a villain like Tweeg.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: When Teddy plummets hundreds of feet from the sky at the end of "Captured", you can't blame anyone for thinking he didn't survive. He only lives thanks to the river's SoftWater and the Hermit who saves him and nurses him back to health.
* NotSoForgottenBirthday: In his BirthdayEpisode, he spends the day thinking that Grubby forgot his birthday. When the Trio set out to Mizley Meadows, their other friends meet up with them to celebrate. It turns out that Grubby had remembered and organized a surprise party.
* OddNameOut: Unlike Grubby and Gimmick, Teddy's name does not start with a G.
* OnlyFriend: He was the Hermit's only friend until he convinced the Hermit to come back with him and meet his friends. The Hermit was shy and stayed away from people for years, making an exception for Teddy because the Hermit saved Teddy's life.
* PlatonicKissing: At his birthday party, Leota gives him a kiss on the cheek.
* PositiveFriendInfluence: His niceness is a good influence over everyone he befriends. Those who start out hostile to him and his companions often become their friends thanks to him. It's put to the test when everyone falls under M.A.V.O.'s HatePlague, and Teddy has to keep his friends working together.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Only [[BewareTheNiceOnes Teddy]] can turn "Can you and I be friends?" into one of these before taking on all of M.A.V.O. single-handedly.
* RedIsHeroic: Part of his clothes are red. Teddy's not exactly an action hero, but, as stated before in BewareTheNiceOnes, he took all of M.A.V.O. by himself in one chapter.
* ReluctantWarrior: In "The Third Crystal", he says violence isn't the answer even though he used it against Quellor in "Tweeg Joins M.A.V.O." and some Gutangs in "In the Fortress of the Wizard". He only uses violence when he has no choice.
* RescueReversal: Twice in the series he ends up getting captured while trying to save a friend: First, while trying to save Gimmick and the Octopedes from the Ying Zoo, only to have them cause a jailbreak and break him out, and once where he tries to save the Hermit from M.A.V.O.
* SecretLegacy: His people were once [[spoiler:a great civilization that owned the Crystals and created a lot of advanced ancient technology, but lost all of this when the Gutangs took over the Hard-to-Find City]], forcing the Illiops to leave for Rillonia and eventually be reduced to simple village people.
* SeeTheInvisible: While under the power of the Third Crystal in "Fugitives", he leaves a trail of footprints in the snow.
* SlipperySkid: When Leekee Lake is frozen over, he's able to cross it if he walks carefully, but when he tries to run on the ice, he only slips and falls.
* SoftWater: After falling hundreds of feet from the ''Eclipose'', a river breaks his fall and saves his life.
* TheStrategist: Teddy is usually the one who comes up with the plan to solve a problem, save someone, or defeat the villain, and he can generally come up with plans right on the spot.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: In "The Rainbow Mine", when trapped in a cave of rising water, Teddy rips out a large stalactite with his bare hands to use as a lever. Normally, they'd need Wooly to do something like that.
* TakeAThirdOption:
** When Tweeg kidnaps Fuzz, Gimmick resigns himself to Tweeg's demands that he leave the valley, while Grubby suggests they go punch Tweeg in the nose to get Fuzz back. Teddy realizes that neither plan is the answer, so he comes up with a third option: use the Invisibility Crystal on themselves.
** When Leota and the Woodsprites are under M.A.V.O.'s evil spell and refuse to do their part in the plan, Gimmick claims that Teddy's plan won't work without them. But Teddy comes up with a new plan: [[spoiler:sneak into M.A.V.O., trick them into knocking one of the Crystals loose to end the spell, then wait for Leota's team to change their mind and get the others]].
* TalkingInYourSleep: After being rescued from the river, he occasionally babbles about the Crystals and Quellor while sleeping tucked under a blanket.
* TantrumThrowing: The phony body extender that Tweeg sells him keeps bopping him on the head and gives him such a headache that he throws it away in anger.
* TeamDad: Acts like one to the Trio, despite Gimmick being so much older. He looks out for his friends, and whenever Grubby and Gimmick get into an argument, he settles things like a father disciplining his children.
* TechnicalPacifist: While Teddy doesn't like hurting others, he will if pushed hard enough. He's knocked down M.A.V.O. members on more than one occasion, but his actions are always non-lethal. Even the Gutangs he shoots down always parachute to safety.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Strawberries. He outright says he loves them in the book "The Story of the Faded Fobs" and enjoys every time he goes out to pick them. In the live-action special, a strawberry is how he gets rid of the aftertaste of Grubby's roasted roots.
* TranslatorBuddy: Sometimes acted as one for Gimmick's SesquipedalianLoquaciousness, such as explaining to Grubby what "combustible" means.
* TwoMenOneDress: In "The Ying Zoo", he and Grubby briefly disguise themselves as a single monster by wrapping themselves in a blanket until Grubby's IllTimedSneeze gives them away.
* UtilityBelt: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", he starts wearing a belt with pockets to carry the Crystals, which works better than the bag he used to use.
* WalkThePlank: Quellor and the M.A.V.O. pirates force him to do this when they capture him. Since their ship is an airship, that makes it even more dangerous.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: He's a teenager (15-16 based on the live-action special), but he's usually more levelheaded and practical than most of his friends.
* XanatosGambit: He pulls one on Tweeg in "The Rainbow Mine". When the Trio convince Tweeg that they have a machine that can turn Rainbow Falls water into precious stones, [[BatmanGambit Teddy predicts that Tweeg will buy it for whatever they ask]]. But the Trio have had Rainbow Falls dammed up. And when Tweeg tries to recall the Tweezle remedy, the Grunges tell him they've found other uses for the stuff. All paths lead to the same conclusion: Tweeg has to buy back the Tweezle remedy for as much as his customers are willing to hold out for.
* XanatosSpeedChess: He's good at adjusting his plans in a moment's notice. In "The New M.A.V.O. Member", when Quellor's pet spots them, it keeps them from getting close enough to implant the last fake Crystal, so Teddy uses his slingshot to shoot it into place. In "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when the Woodsprites won't help because of the evil spell, he comes up with a new plan and sneaks past the guard by pretending to be a monster in an Illiop costume.
* AdaptationalBadass: Teddy rarely has to face real danger in the books. While he's not exactly an action hero, the cartoon has a lot more action and genuinely dangerous villains, so he shows off what he can do more often.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Starting with a treasure hunt in the first episode, he becomes one as he discovers more ancient artifacts and uncovers his people's lost history.
* AllLovingHero: Teddy is very nice and friendly to everyone he sees. He's even willing to help out Tweeg and L.B., despite how often they cause trouble for him and his friends.
* BadassAdorable: Teddy is basically a giant teddy bear, but he's no slouch when it comes to facing danger.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Teddy wears a shirt and shorts, but no shoes. He mentions in "The Faded Fobs" that Illiops don't normally wear shoes.
* BatmanGambit: He knows Tweeg well enough that in "The Rainbow Mine", he rightly predicts what Tweeg will do, based on his greed, so the Trio can get back all the money Tweeg cheated out of everyone.
* BearsAreBadNews: Played with. The same prophecy that states putting the Crystals in M.A.V.O.'s walls will bring about an age of darkness also warns that an Illiop will be able destroy the organization. The appearance of Teddy along with Crystals' reemergence is a cause of worry to the evil organization.
* BearyFriendly: Nice, caring, and friendly to everyone. The opening line from the first cassette tape says it all: "Hi. My name is Teddy Ruxpin. Can you and I be friends?"
* BerserkButton: He's a NiceGuy to everyone, but do not threaten or harm his friends.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite being one of the most soft-spoken characters in the series, Teddy is able to take on M.A.V.O. all by himself and win.
* BigDamnReunion: In the final five-episode arc, [[spoiler:he and his parents are officially reunited when Burl gets his memory back and they go home to Ilana]].
* BlowingARaspberry: While facing M.A.V.O. in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", he does this to goad Trudge into charging at him, [[spoiler:knocking one of the Crystals out of the Great Ring]].
* BratsWithSlingshots: He's a teenager whose weapon of choice against the Gutangs is a slingshot with a spoonful of Grubby's root stew in it.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Teddy Ruxpin is an "Illiop". The Brazilian-Portuguese translation calls them bears anyway.

* ChekhovsGun: In "Teddy's Quest", rope is one of the things mentioned in his backpack for his trip to Leekee Lake. It turns out to be really important because it allows him to save L.B.'s life.
* ChekhovsSkill: "The Day Teddy Met Grubby" reveals that his mother taught him how to grow vegetables, and when it looks like someone is stealing their potatoes, they set up a booby trap. Both skills get used in the next episode: to start a peanut farm at the castle, and to set up a trap for a spy.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: He always feels the need to help someone whether it's his problem or not. Unfortunately, this often lands him and his friends in danger.

* DeathGlare: Yes, believe it or not, Teddy of all people delivers one to his best friend Grubby in "The Wooly What's-It" when Grubby tries to stay behind eating instead of helping deal with a windstorm.
* {{Determinator}}: Teddy always refuses to give up, even when the odds are stacked against him. When his friends succumb to the evil of M.A.V.O.'s spell and refuse to help, he decides to just keep going alone.
* DiscreetDiningDisposal: He, Gimmick, and Arin end up dumping the root stew Grubby made overboard the Airship (and onto Tweeg's head) because they're too nice to tell him he's a LethalChef.
* DisneyDeath: At the end of "Captured", he falls from the ''Eclipse'', which is hundreds of feet in the air. His friends spend a couple of episodes thinking he died. He only lives because of SoftWater.
* DivingSave: In "The Faded Fobs", he jumps toward Grubby and Gimmick and shoves them out of the way of the giant strawberry.
* TheDreaded: Believe it or not, he's this to the denizens of the Land of Ying. Upon discovering their quarry to be an Illiop, some monster thugs turned and ran. He's also this for M.A.V.O., as their legend that states an Illiop will cause their downfall. Gains some credence when he proves unaffected by their HatePlague after the succeed in taking all the crystals.
* EurekaMoment:
** Once Teddy regains the real map that Tweeg left on the airship in the previous episode, he tells Gimmick and Grubby that the old lady that came on the ship really was Tweeg in disguise.
** When Fuzz is kidnapped, he suddenly realizes the perfect way to get him back: use the Third Crystal to sneak in and scare away Tweeg and L.B.
* ExposedToTheElements: Averted during the snowy season, but when Grundo is under M.A.V.O.'s evil spell, he walks through the cold wind in his usual light tunic and shorts.
* FakingTheDead: In "Thin Ice", he pretends to commit suicide through a hole in the ice to escape M.A.V.O. The Fourth Crystal lets him breathe underwater until he enters the Hermit's lair.
* FarmBoy: The Ruxpins grow vegetables at their cottage out in the country. At first Teddy seemed happy there, but when he discovered the treasure map, he had a desire to go adventuring. Along the way, he discovers the lost legacy of his people.
* FatalFlaw: His willingness to help others and do the right thing always seems to land him in trouble, dragging Grubby and Gimmick along. In one episode, M.A.V.O. decides that an Illiop's loyalty is his weakness.

* TheHeart: He's easily the moral center of the Trio and their allies. In fact, he's possibly the Heart for all of Grundo.
* HeroProtagonist: He's the central character who is always doing good deeds and going on adventures.
* TheHerosJourney: It's called ''The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin'' for a reason. He goes through the main stages of the Hero's Journey throughout the series, culminating with a return home.
* HeroVsVillainDuet: Teddy and Quellor sing a duet called "No Place To Go" while they're both imprisoned in MAVO's Dungeon with, Teddy lamenting that while locked up, he's unable to help his friends, cheer people up, or explore whereas Quellor is angry he can't spread darkness, kick a [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Fob]] and make it yelp, or be cruel to his grandmother. Funnily enough while they do react to each other's verses, they manage to keep the harmony through the whole song and don't break down into any sort of insults.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Grubby.
* HiddenDepths: "The Day Teddy Met Grubby" reveals that he can play the flute, and also reveals his skills at gardening and building booby traps, both of which are used in the next episode. Later episodes show that his skills extend to piloting a submarine, playing Grungeball catcher, and more.

* SecretLegacy: His people were once [[spoiler:a great civilization that owned the Crystals and created a lot of advanced ancient technology, but lost all of this when the Gutangs took over the Hard-to-Find City]], forcing the Illiops to leave for Rillonia and eventually be reduced to simple village people.
* SeeTheInvisible: While under the power of the Third Crystal in "Fugitives", he leaves a trail of footprints in the snow.

** When Tweeg kidnaps Fuzz, Gimmick resigns himself to Tweeg's demands that he leave the valley, while Grubby suggests they go punch Tweeg in the nose to get Fuzz back. Teddy realizes that neither plan is the answer, so he comes up with a third option: use the Invisibility Crystal on themselves.

* TantrumThrowing: The phony body extender that Tweeg sells him keeps bopping him on the head and gives him such a headache that he throws it away in anger.
* TeamDad: Acts like one to the Trio, despite Gimmick being so much older. He looks out for his friends, and whenever Grubby
* TechnicalPacifist: While Teddy doesn't like hurting others, he will if pushed hard enough. He's knocked down M.A.V.O. members on
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Strawberries. He outright says he loves them in the book "The Story of the Faded Fobs" and enjoys every time he goes out to pick them. In the live-action special, a strawberry is how he gets rid of the aftertaste of Grubby's roasted roots.

* XanatosGambit: He pulls one on Tweeg in "The Rainbow Mine". When the Trio convince Tweeg that they have a machine that can turn Rainbow Falls water into precious stones, [[BatmanGambit Teddy predicts that Tweeg will buy it for whatever they ask]]. But the Trio have had Rainbow Falls dammed up. And when Tweeg tries to recall the Tweezle remedy, the Grunges tell him they've found other uses for the stuff. All paths lead to the same conclusion: Tweeg has to buy back the Tweezle remedy for as much as his customers are willing to hold out for.
* XanatosSpeedChess: He's good at adjusting his plans in a moment's notice. In "The New M.A.V.O. Member", when Quellor's pet spots them, it keeps them from getting close enough to implant the last fake Crystal, so Teddy uses his slingshot to shoot it into place. In "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when the Woodsprites won't help because of the evil spell, he comes up with a new plan

* AgonyOfTheFeet: He complains that his feet hurt from so much hiking at the start of the first episode. Then at the dance in "Grubby's Romance", one of the dancers steps on his foot in high heels. As Teddy put it, "You do have a lot of feet to worry about."
* BassoProfundo: He has a very deep voice and sings in the bass range.
* BeingWatched: In "Guests of the Grunges", while hiking through the Jungle with No Name, Grubby says he gets the feeling they're being watched. They are...by a bunch of curious little Fobs.

* ButtMonkey: He tends to be the victim of slapstick in the series.

* DeadpanSnarker: He makes a lot of witty remarks and is a lot more sarcastic than his friends.

* FastTunneling: Grubby and Gimmick dig a tunnel out of their M.A.V.O. cell very quickly. The only reason it didn't get them to safety was because Gimmick thought that they were beyond the walls of M.A.V.O. They weren't.

* InsistentTerminology: Grubby is fond of reminding people that the appendages normally thought of as his hands are actually two of his eight feet.
* InterspeciesRomance: Briefly has one with a caterpillar named Karen while shrunk by Gimmick's Reducing Machine. It doesn't end happily because he becomes big again and she joins the migration after turning into a butterfly.

* JabbaTableManners: While under M.A.V.O.'s evil spell, his appetite is so turned up that he gorges madly and messily.

* LiteralCliffhanger: After [[EarthquakesCauseFissures an earthquake causes a fissure]] in the Great Desert he falls in and clings to a rock.

* SlipperySkid: When the Trio escapes a DoorJam in "The Faded Fobs", Grubby lands on some of Tweeg's cannonballs and tries awkwardly to keep from slipping and falling.

* ScienceHero: His biggest weapon for solving problems is science. On several occasions, the Trio wouldn't have managed to save the day without his inventions.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He tends to talk in complicated, scientific terms.

* AccidentalKidnapping: In "One More Spot", he tries to catch some bugs to study for a school assignment, but he accidentally kidnaps the Trio while they're shrunk to bug-size.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: In the books and live-action special, his body is a solid purple color, whereas in the cartoon, his beard, hands, and belly are a much lighter shade than the rest of him.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Briefly, when he first joins Leota's classes, the other students only laugh at him when he misunderstands a question. They eventually stop doing this as Wooly adjusts to school.
* AngryFistShake: He'll sometimes shake his fists in the air when a villain angers him, such as the Gutangs firing on his friends.
* ApologizesALot: Whenever he accidentally does something wrong, he apologizes, even if there are other things to worry about (see SkewedPriorities below).
* AppropriatedAppellation: Wooly's name comes from what others described him as being after he accidentally stranded himself near the Rainbow Falls; a "wooly whatsit". The Snowzos are an obscure species to the other inhabitants of Grundo anyway, but being dyed by the Rainbow Falls made him unrecognizable.
* ArrowCatch: In "Through Tweeg's Fingers", he catches an arrow fired by the Gutangs and throws it at one of their planes, smashing its propeller apart.
* AudienceSurrogate: He's like a stand-in for children watching the show because he has a lot to learn in school and looks at it with a childlike naivete.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he becomes so tired of being big and clumsy that he asks the Trio to shrink him to Elf-size so he can be like his classmates. Unfortunately, he's also lost his strength and prowess.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Wooly wouldn't hurt a fly, but woe to anyone who hurts one of his friends.
* BigDamnHeroes: He has a knack for this. Since he's so big and heavy, he can't go on the airship and has to ''walk'' wherever Teddy and friends are going while the others fly ahead. This is a good way of HoldingBackThePhlebotinum because Wooly's so strong and tough he can generally wipe the floor with any of the bad guys -- when he shows up at the destination, it's generally when the others have already been through several hardships that they had to solve without him. More then once, he comes to the rescue at the very last minute, when the others are in serious trouble, and all seems lost.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: He's a Snowzo, a species of cat-tailed yeti-like creatures who dwell in the cold regions of Grundo. In fact, he strayed from the group when he was a child and got lost, and ended up being dyed his trademark pink color because he took to drinking from and bathing in the Rainbow Falls.
* TheBigGuy: When he opts to join the Trio on a mission, he adds some much needed brawn to back them up.
* BigHeartedBigfoot: Snowzos are based on the yeti (large, furry bipeds who live in the cold regions of the world), and few people are more big-hearted than Wooly.
* BigShutUp:
** After putting out a fire, the Elves and Woodsprites restart the feud that led to it, so Wooly shuts them up with a big "BE QUIET!"
** When everyone falls under M.A.V.O.'s HatePlague, Teddy tries to stop Grubby, Gimmick, and Wooly from arguing only to receive a collective "Oh, shup up, Teddy!"
* BullyHunter: He won't stand by when he sees someone (usually Tweeg) picking on someone weaker.
* CaringGardener: He's a friendly guy who grows a lot of his own food at his house. In "Harvest Feast", his harvest becomes all kinds of food for the castle banquet.
* {{Catchphrase}}: He almost always says "Hiya" instead of "Hello" or "Hi".
* ChekhovsGun: He finds a shiny red rock at the top of Rainbow Falls in "The Faded Fobs". A few episodes later, it gives Teddy the solution to get back all the money Tweeg cheated out of everyone.
* ClimbingTheCliffsOfInsanity: He's good at climbing cliffs. In the live-action special, it was stated that the Treacherous Mountains were believed to be impossible to climb, but Wooly does it.
* CurbStompBattle: After climbing the Treacherous Mountains, Wooly decides to destroy many of the Gutang Flying Machines with ease.
* CuteGiant: He towers over the other good guys, but he looks like a purple cross between a gorilla and a teddy bear.
* DisneyDeath: In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains", he jumps on the last of the Gutang planes and forces it to crash-land. When the heroes find him, they mourn him for a moment before he turns out to be alive.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: He's so strong that sometimes he clumsily breaks things. In "Elves and Woodsprites", he becomes so fed up with being so big and clumsy that he asks the Trio to shrink him with the Reducing Machine.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: The Wizard is so startled by his appearance that he slams his door in Wooly's face, making him fall on his butt.
* FaceOfAThug: When the Trio and Arin meet him for the first time, they think he's a dangerous monster. But when he learns that they're searching for a kidnapped princess, he reveals himself to be a GentleGiant.
* FlowersOfRomance: On his way to visit Princess Aruzia, whom he has a crush on, he picks some flowers for her in the Jungle with No Name. These flowers turn out to be the antidote for King Nogburt's illness.
* GentleGiant: Despite his immense size and strength, he's actually a very gentle and friendly being.
* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: He knows that bad people do bad things but doesn't understand why. As he puts it, "Why would anybody kidnap a princess? That's bad!"
* GoThroughMe: In "Autumn Advneture", he blocks one of the M.A.V.O. goons from attacking Teddy, making him bounce backwards off his belly.
* HeavyVoice: Inverted. When he is shrunk by Gimmick's Reducing Machine, he gets a higher, squeakier voice. Strangely, it never happens when anyone else shrinks.
* HelpImStuck: In "The Rainbow Mine", he lands rear-end into the mouth of the cave that Rainbow Falls comes out of.
* HeroicSacrifice: He does one in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains" by jumping on a Gutang plane and making it crash-land before it can shoot his friends. Fortunately, he survives.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He calls himself dumb several times in "The Wooly What's-It". It turns out that he's just undereducated, and he gets over it once he starts to catch up with the rest of Leota's students.
* HumbleHero: Wooly is very helpful to everyone but modest about it too. In "Through Tweeg's Fingers", when the characters thank him for the medicinal flowers he brought them, he modestly says he didn't grow them, just pick them.
* IAmSong: "What is a Wooly What's-It", sung by the Trio, is all about who he is and what he's like.
* IChooseToStay: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", after he is reunited with his own kind, he decides to stay in Grundo, although he promises to come and visit.
* ImplausibleBoardingSkills: He does some impressive feats on his skateboard during Wizardweek, including jumping over Trembley Fault.
* ImprovisedClothes: To infiltrate M.A.V.O. and rescue Grubby and Gimmick, Leota makes him a monster costume out of cotton candy.
* TheInfiltration: Teddy and Leota dress him up in a monster costume and have him pretend to be interested in joining M.A.V.O. so he can sneak in and free Grubby and Gimmick from the M.A.V.O. dungeon.
* InterspeciesAdoption: He's a Snowzo who is implied to have been raised by Fobs.
* InterspeciesRomance: He's implied to have a crush on Princess Aruzia. Whether she's aware of it or not is unclear, although she still sees him as a very dear friend.
* KeepTheReward: When Arin offers him a reward for helping save his sister, Wooly says he's already been rewarded: he got kissed by a princess.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Often, an instrumental version of the chorus of "What's a Wooly What's-It" will play while he's seen on the show.
* LiteralCliffhanger: After Prince Arin turns into the Iron Warrior, and he and Wooly have a tumble, they roll over the end of a cliff with Wooly clinging to a branch and the Iron Warrior clinging to Wooly's tail. After the branch gives, they fall into the water.
* MathematiciansAnswer: In math class, when Leota asks how much a hundred trees plus a hundred trees is, Wooly says, "A forest."
* MissingChild: There's a legend of a young Snowzo who vanished many years ago, and it turns out to be Wooly.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Snowzos live north of the land of Ying, but Wooly grew up in Grundo, so he doesn't share most of his race's aversion to warmth.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: When the Gutang plane he's on crashes, his friends briefly believe that he died, thinking no one could have survived the impact. It turns out that Wooly's [[SuperToughness just that tough]].
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Makes one to Bognostroclum while pretending to be a monster wanting to join M.A.V.O. Bognostroclum says that members can only join at the right time and place, but Wooly picks him up and says, "Do I get to join your club, or do you want to be a door knocker from now on?"
* PapaWolf: Threaten a child or one of his friends and he'll make you sorry. Tweeg discovers this the hard way any time he tries to do a bad deed when Wooly's around.
* PrehensileTail: "The Rainbow Mine" reveals that he can grasp things with his tail.
* PurpleIsPowerful: He's purple and possesses enormous amounts of strength.
* QuestForTheRest: In "One More Spot", Wooly's bothered by the fact that he doesn't know what kind of creature he is, and he's working to figure it out. Eventually, he meets his own kind: the Snowzos.
* RampJump: In the final race of Wizardweek, after Tweeg cuts down the suspension bridge behind him, Wooly is forced to jump across Trembley Fault on his skateboard.
* RealAfterAll: Gimmick spent most of "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos" claiming that Snowzos aren't real. Not only are they real, but Gimmick has been friends with one for months.
* ReallyFondOfSleeping: Wooly likes taking naps for fun.
* SimplemindedWisdom: Wooly is undereducated at first and a bit slow, but he does show moments of worldliness.
* SkewedPriorities: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", while playing Grungeball, he's so concerned about the fact that he broke the bat that he forgets to run to first base.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Invariably fouls up the plans of the villains somehow when he gets involved. Like the time he accidentally convinced M.A.V.O that Tweeg had been trying to oust Quellor and take over for himself.
* SquareCubeLaw: Inverted. In his normal size, he's got SuperStrength, but when he's shrunk by the Reducing Machine, he seems proportionately weaker.
* SuperStrength: Even for his size, Wooly is capable of remarkable feats of strength. It's implied that his muscle is denser than most creatures.
* SuperToughness: After his fall at the end of the Gutang battle, he survives crashing a plane, proving that even an impact like that can't kill him.
* SupremeChef: Wooly's a great cook and is happy to prepare something when his friends pop over. In "Harvest Feast", he cooks enough of a feast to fill a banquet.
* TechnicalPacifist: Just like Teddy and Arin, any time he resorts to violence, it's non-lethal. But grabbing or throwing around someone who makes him angry? Sure.
* TemporarilyExaggeratedTrait: When M.A.V.O.'s spell of darkness casts over Grundo, it happens to most of Teddy's friends. In Wooly's case, his love for naps is turned up to not wanting to do anything else.
* ThatsNoMoon: In "The Rainbow Mine", when he gets stuck in the Rainbow Falls cave entrance, the Trio mistakes him for a big rock.
* TrampolineTummy: In "The Crystal Book", he lets some Fobs use his belly as a trampoline.
* UndyingLoyalty: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him, the Crystal says that loyalty is a key trait of his. And he's certainly loyal to his friends.
* UnskilledButStrong: He's the strongest of the good guys but can be a bit clumsy with it.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In "Escape from M.A.V.O.", when he sees his friends (really the Anythings) appear to split into AnimateBodyParts, he just tells them to quit fooling around.
* VagueAge: Wooly lives along and takes care of himself, but he often looks at the world like a young child and attends Leota's class with kids.
* VerbalTic: Often goes "Blblblblblbl!" when talking.
* WeaponizedBall: In "Tweeg joins M.A.V.O.", after collecting some of Tweeg's cannonballs to return to him, he throws them at M.A.V.O. Headquarters, breaking right through the stone walls.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Mudblups. In "Autumn Adventure", the Fobs claim that Wooly's not afraid of anything, but to him, the Trio's Mudblup costumes are so convincing that he's terrified of them.

->'''First appearance:''' "Beware of the Mudblups"
The son and eldest child of King Nogburt. The Trio first met him while they were being held captive by the Mudblups. He has a very gung-ho attitude and often has to be reined in by the more cool-headed characters. He also transforms into a metal monster called the "Iron Warrior" when he consumes Vitamin Z. He is an Illiper, one of a humanoid race with very blunted muzzles.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: In the books and live-action special, his body is a solid purple color, whereas in the cartoon, his beard, hands, and belly are a much lighter shade than the rest of him.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Wooly wouldn't hurt a fly, but woe to anyone who hurts one of his friends.
* BigDamnHeroes: He has a knack for this. Since he's so big and heavy, he can't go on the airship and has to ''walk'' wherever Teddy and friends are going while the others fly ahead. This is a good way of HoldingBackThePhlebotinum because Wooly's so strong and tough he can generally wipe the floor with any of the bad guys -- when he shows up at the destination, it's generally when the others have already been through several hardships that they had to solve without him. More then once, he comes to the rescue at the very last minute, when the others are in serious trouble, and all seems lost.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: He's a Snowzo, a species of cat-tailed yeti-like creatures who dwell in the cold regions of Grundo. In fact, he strayed from the group when he was a child and got lost, and ended up being dyed his trademark pink color because he took to drinking from and bathing in the Rainbow Falls.
* TheBigGuy: When he opts to join the Trio on a mission, he adds some much needed brawn to back them up.
* BigHeartedBigfoot: Snowzos are based on the yeti (large, furry bipeds who live in the cold regions of the world), and few people are more big-hearted than Wooly.
* BigShutUp:
** After putting out a fire, the Elves and Woodsprites restart the feud that led to it, so Wooly shuts them up with a big "BE QUIET!"
** When everyone falls under M.A.V.O.'s HatePlague, Teddy tries to stop Grubby, Gimmick, and Wooly from arguing only to receive a collective "Oh, shup up, Teddy!"
* BullyHunter: He won't stand by when he sees someone (usually Tweeg) picking on someone weaker.
* CaringGardener: He's a friendly guy who grows a lot of his own food at his house. In "Harvest Feast", his harvest becomes all kinds of food for the castle banquet.
* {{Catchphrase}}: He almost always says "Hiya" instead of "Hello" or "Hi".
* ChekhovsGun: He finds a shiny red rock at the top of Rainbow Falls in "The Faded Fobs". A few episodes later, it gives Teddy the solution to get back all the money Tweeg cheated out of everyone.
* ClimbingTheCliffsOfInsanity: He's good at climbing cliffs. In the live-action special, it was stated that the Treacherous Mountains were believed to be impossible to climb, but Wooly does it.
* CurbStompBattle: After climbing the Treacherous Mountains, Wooly decides to destroy many of the Gutang Flying Machines with ease.
* CuteGiant: He towers over the other good guys, but he looks like a purple cross between a gorilla and a teddy bear.
* DisneyDeath: In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains", he jumps on the last of the Gutang planes and forces it to crash-land. When the heroes find him, they mourn him for a moment before he turns out to be alive.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: He's so strong that sometimes he clumsily breaks things. In "Elves and Woodsprites", he becomes so fed up with being so big and clumsy that he asks the Trio to shrink him with the Reducing Machine.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: The Wizard is so startled by his appearance that he slams his door in Wooly's face, making him fall on his butt.
* FaceOfAThug: When the Trio and Arin meet him for the first time, they think he's a dangerous monster. But when he learns that they're searching for a kidnapped princess, he reveals himself to be a GentleGiant.
* FlowersOfRomance: On his way to visit Princess Aruzia, whom he has a crush on, he picks some flowers for her in the Jungle with No Name. These flowers turn out to be the antidote for King Nogburt's illness.
* GentleGiant: Despite his immense size and strength, he's actually a very gentle and friendly being.
* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: He knows that bad people do bad things but doesn't understand why. As he puts it, "Why would anybody kidnap a princess? That's bad!"
* GoThroughMe: In "Autumn Advneture", he blocks one of the M.A.V.O. goons from attacking Teddy, making him bounce backwards off his belly.
* HeavyVoice: Inverted. When he is shrunk by Gimmick's Reducing Machine, he gets a higher, squeakier voice. Strangely, it never happens when anyone else shrinks.
* HelpImStuck: In "The Rainbow Mine", he lands rear-end into the mouth of the cave that Rainbow Falls comes out of.
* HeroicSacrifice: He does one in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains" by jumping on a Gutang plane and making it crash-land before it can shoot his friends. Fortunately, he survives.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He calls himself dumb several times in "The Wooly What's-It". It turns out that he's just undereducated, and he gets over it once he starts to catch up with the rest of Leota's students.
* HumbleHero: Wooly is very helpful to everyone but modest about it too. In "Through Tweeg's Fingers", when the characters thank him for the medicinal flowers he brought them, he modestly says he didn't grow them, just pick them.
* IAmSong: "What is a Wooly What's-It", sung by the Trio, is all about who he is and what he's like.
* IChooseToStay: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", after he is reunited with his own kind, he decides to stay in Grundo, although he promises to come and visit.
* ImplausibleBoardingSkills: He does some impressive feats on his skateboard during Wizardweek, including jumping over Trembley Fault.
* ImprovisedClothes: To infiltrate M.A.V.O. and rescue Grubby and Gimmick, Leota makes him a monster costume out of cotton candy.
* TheInfiltration: Teddy and Leota dress him up in a monster costume and have him pretend to be interested in joining M.A.V.O. so he can sneak in and free Grubby and Gimmick from the M.A.V.O. dungeon.
* InterspeciesAdoption: He's a Snowzo who is implied to have been raised by Fobs.
* InterspeciesRomance: He's implied to have a crush on Princess Aruzia. Whether she's aware of it or not is unclear, although she still sees him as a very dear friend.
* KeepTheReward: When Arin offers him a reward for helping save his sister, Wooly says he's already been rewarded: he got kissed by a princess.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Often, an instrumental version of the chorus of "What's a Wooly What's-It" will play while he's seen on the show.
* LiteralCliffhanger: After Prince Arin turns into the Iron Warrior, and he and Wooly have a tumble, they roll over the end of a cliff with Wooly clinging to a branch and the Iron Warrior clinging to Wooly's tail. After the branch gives, they fall into the water.
* MathematiciansAnswer: In math class, when Leota asks how much a hundred trees plus a hundred trees is, Wooly says, "A forest."
* MissingChild: There's a legend of a young Snowzo who vanished many years ago, and it turns out to be Wooly.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Snowzos live north of the land of Ying, but Wooly grew up in Grundo, so he doesn't share most of his race's aversion to warmth.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: When the Gutang plane he's on crashes, his friends briefly believe that he died, thinking no one could have survived the impact. It turns out that Wooly's [[SuperToughness just that tough]].
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Makes one to Bognostroclum while pretending to be a monster wanting to join M.A.V.O. Bognostroclum says that members can only join at the right time and place, but Wooly picks him up and says, "Do I get to join your club, or do you want to be a door knocker from now on?"
* PapaWolf: Threaten a child or one of his friends and he'll make you sorry. Tweeg discovers this the hard way any time he tries to do a bad deed when Wooly's around.
* PrehensileTail: "The Rainbow Mine" reveals that he can grasp things with his tail.
* PurpleIsPowerful: He's purple and possesses enormous amounts of strength.
* QuestForTheRest: In "One More Spot", Wooly's bothered by the fact that he doesn't know what kind of creature he is, and he's working to figure it out. Eventually, he meets his own kind: the Snowzos.
* RampJump: In the final race of Wizardweek, after Tweeg cuts down the suspension bridge behind him, Wooly is forced to jump across Trembley Fault on his skateboard.
* RealAfterAll: Gimmick spent most of "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos" claiming that Snowzos aren't real. Not only are they real, but Gimmick has been friends with one for months.
* ReallyFondOfSleeping: Wooly likes taking naps for fun.
* SimplemindedWisdom: Wooly is undereducated at first and a bit slow, but he does show moments of worldliness.
* SkewedPriorities: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", while playing Grungeball, he's so concerned about the fact that he broke the bat that he forgets to run to first base.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Invariably fouls up the plans of the villains somehow when he gets involved. Like the time he accidentally convinced M.A.V.O that Tweeg had been trying to oust Quellor and take over for himself.
* SquareCubeLaw: Inverted. In his normal size, he's got SuperStrength, but when he's shrunk by the Reducing Machine, he seems proportionately weaker.
* SuperStrength: Even for his size, Wooly is capable of remarkable feats of strength. It's implied that his muscle is denser than most creatures.
* SuperToughness: After his fall at the end of the Gutang battle, he survives crashing a plane, proving that even an impact like that can't kill him.
* SupremeChef: Wooly's a great cook and is happy to prepare something when his friends pop over. In "Harvest Feast", he cooks enough of a feast to fill a banquet.
* TechnicalPacifist: Just like Teddy and Arin, any time he resorts to violence, it's non-lethal. But grabbing or throwing around someone who makes him angry? Sure.
* TemporarilyExaggeratedTrait: When M.A.V.O.'s spell of darkness casts over Grundo, it happens to most of Teddy's friends. In Wooly's case, his love for naps is turned up to not wanting to do anything else.
* ThatsNoMoon: In "The Rainbow Mine", when he gets stuck in the Rainbow Falls cave entrance, the Trio mistakes him for a big rock.
* TrampolineTummy: In "The Crystal Book", he lets some Fobs use his belly as a trampoline.
* UndyingLoyalty: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him, the Crystal says that loyalty is a key trait of his. And he's certainly loyal to his friends.
* UnskilledButStrong: He's the strongest of the good guys but can be a bit clumsy with it.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In "Escape from M.A.V.O.", when he sees his friends (really the Anythings) appear to split into AnimateBodyParts, he just tells them to quit fooling around.
* VagueAge: Wooly lives along and takes care of himself, but he often looks at the world like a young child and attends Leota's class with kids.
* VerbalTic: Often goes "Blblblblblbl!" when talking.
* WeaponizedBall: In "Tweeg joins M.A.V.O.", after collecting some of Tweeg's cannonballs to return to him, he throws them at M.A.V.O. Headquarters, breaking right through the stone walls.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Mudblups. In "Autumn Adventure", the Fobs claim that Wooly's not afraid of anything, but to him, the Trio's Mudblup costumes are so convincing that he's terrified of them.

->'''First appearance:''' "Beware of the Mudblups"
The son and eldest child of King Nogburt. The Trio first met him while they were being held captive by the Mudblups. He has a very gung-ho attitude and often has to be reined in by the more cool-headed characters. He also transforms into a metal monster called the "Iron Warrior" when he consumes Vitamin Z. He is an Illiper, one of a humanoid race with very blunted muzzles.

* AccidentalKidnapping: In "One More Spot", he tries to catch some bugs to study for a school assignment, but he accidentally kidnaps AdaptationDyeJob: Most of them have yellow skin in the Trio while they're shrunk to bug-size.
* AdaptationalDyeJob:books. In the books and live-action special, his body is a solid purple color, whereas in the cartoon, his beard, hands, and belly are a much lighter shade than the rest of him.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Briefly, when he first joins Leota's classes, the other students only laugh at him when he misunderstands a question. They eventually stop doing this as Wooly adjusts to school.

* NamedByTheAdaptation: None of the Grunges have names in the books except for Louie, the Wizard's assistant, and Boomer, one of the Surf Grunges. The cartoon gives several of them names.

* GentleGiant: Despite his immense size

* GoThroughMe: In "Autumn Advneture", he blocks one of the M.A.V.O. goons from attacking Teddy, making him bounce backwards off his belly.
* HeavyVoice: Inverted. When he is shrunk by Gimmick's Reducing Machine, he gets a higher, squeakier voice. Strangely, it never happens when anyone else shrinks.
* HelpImStuck: In "The Rainbow Mine", he lands rear-end into the mouth of the cave that Rainbow Falls comes out of.
* HeroicSacrifice: He does one in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains" by jumping on a Gutang plane and making it crash-land before it can shoot his friends. Fortunately, he survives.

* HumbleHero: Wooly is very helpful to everyone but modest about it too. In "Through Tweeg's Fingers", when the characters thank him for the medicinal flowers he brought them, he modestly says he didn't grow them, just pick them.

* InterspeciesAdoption: He's a Snowzo who is implied to have been raised by Fobs.
* InterspeciesRomance: He's implied to have a crush on Princess Aruzia. Whether she's aware of it or not is unclear, although she still sees him as a very dear friend.
* KeepTheReward: When Arin offers him a reward for helping save his sister, Wooly says he's already been rewarded: he got kissed by a princess.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Often, an instrumental version of the chorus of "What's a Wooly What's-It" will play while he's seen on the show.

* MissingChild: There's a legend of a young Snowzo who vanished many years ago, and it turns out to be Wooly.

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: When the Gutang plane he's on crashes, his friends briefly believe that he died, thinking no one could have survived the impact. It turns out that Wooly's [[SuperToughness just that tough]].
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Makes one to Bognostroclum while pretending to be a monster wanting to join M.A.V.O. Bognostroclum says that members can only join at the right time and place, but Wooly picks him up and says, "Do I get to join your club, or do you want to be a door knocker from now on?"
* PapaWolf: Threaten a child or one of his friends and he'll make you sorry. Tweeg discovers this the hard way any time he tries to do a bad deed when Wooly's around.
* PrehensileTail: "The Rainbow Mine" reveals that he can grasp things with his tail.
* PurpleIsPowerful: He's purple and possesses enormous amounts of strength.
* QuestForTheRest: In "One More Spot", Wooly's bothered by the fact that he doesn't know what kind of creature he is, and he's working to figure it out. Eventually, he meets his own kind: the Snowzos.
* RampJump: In the final race of Wizardweek, after Tweeg cuts down the suspension bridge behind him, Wooly is forced to jump across Trembley Fault on his skateboard.
* RealAfterAll: Gimmick spent most of "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos" claiming that Snowzos
* CastOfSnowflakes: The Grunges all have similar facial anatomy, but their features come in different shapes and designs. Each Grunge also has a distinct outfit and hair.

* ReallyFondOfSleeping: Wooly likes taking naps for fun.
* SimplemindedWisdom: Wooly is undereducated at first and a bit slow, but he does show moments of worldliness.
* SkewedPriorities: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday",
* {{Demihuman}}: While Illipers might be a HumanSubspecies, Grunges are something else. Humans don't have antennae, two-toed feet, or those oversized noses, but apart from that, the Grunges could almost pass for humans. They also tend to have more body hair, snaggleteeth, and warts.
* FourFingeredHands: Literally, but they also have just two big toes on each foot.
* LifeOfTheParty: Grunges love to dance, play music, and party.
* LovableJock: A Grunge's favorite game is Grungeball,

* SeriousBusiness: Grunges take their hobbies very seriously. They love music and dance, Jungle Grunges can get touchy about the
* SpannerInTheWorks: Invariably fouls up the plans of the villains somehow when he gets involved. Like the time he accidentally convinced M.A.V.O that Tweeg had been trying to oust Quellor
* SquareCubeLaw: Inverted. In his normal size, he's got SuperStrength, but when he's shrunk by the Reducing Machine, he seems proportionately weaker.
* SuperStrength: Even for his size, Wooly is capable of remarkable feats of strength. It's implied that his muscle is denser than most creatures.
* SuperToughness: After his fall at the end of the Gutang battle, he survives crashing a plane, proving that even an impact like that can't kill him.
* SupremeChef: Wooly's a great cook and is happy to prepare something when his friends pop over. In "Harvest Feast", he cooks enough of a feast to fill a banquet.
* TechnicalPacifist: Just like Teddy and Arin, any time he resorts to violence, it's non-lethal. But grabbing or throwing around someone who makes him angry? Sure.
* TemporarilyExaggeratedTrait: When M.A.V.O.'s spell of darkness casts over Grundo, it happens to most of Teddy's friends. In Wooly's case, his love for naps is turned up to not wanting to do anything else.
* ThatsNoMoon: In "The Rainbow Mine", when he gets stuck in the Rainbow Falls cave entrance, the Trio mistakes him for a big rock.
* TrampolineTummy: In "The Crystal Book", he lets some Fobs use his belly as a trampoline.
* UndyingLoyalty: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him, the Crystal says that loyalty is a key trait of his. And he's certainly loyal to his friends.
* UnskilledButStrong: He's the strongest of the good guys but can be a bit clumsy with it.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In "Escape from M.A.V.O.", when he sees his friends (really the Anythings) appear to split into AnimateBodyParts, he just tells them to quit fooling around.
* VagueAge: Wooly lives along and takes care of himself, but he often looks at the world like a young child and attends Leota's class with kids.
* VerbalTic: Often goes "Blblblblblbl!" when talking.
* WeaponizedBall: In "Tweeg joins M.A.V.O.", after collecting some of Tweeg's cannonballs to return to him, he throws them at M.A.V.O. Headquarters, breaking right through the stone walls.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Mudblups. In "Autumn Adventure", the Fobs claim that Wooly's not afraid of anything, but to him, the Trio's Mudblup costumes

Changed line(s) 754,790 (click to see context) from:
* AmnesiaMissedASpot: He has some slight remnant memories that hint who he is. One major clue is that he knows [[spoiler:a song that Teddy's father made up for him when he was little]].
* AscendedExtra: He becomes a major character in the last two main story arcs.
* BearyFriendly: He's a nice guy who saves Teddy from drowning in the river in his first appearance.
* BigDamnReunion: When he finally remembers that he is [[spoiler:Teddy's father, the two of them sing a song called "Together Again", and then he is reunited with his wife in the next episode]].
* BlankSlate: When Gimmick tries to use the Crystal Stethoscope on him, it reveals no personality traits. This is what happens when you have your memories erased by the Black Box.
* BoundAndGagged: M.A.V.O. wraps him up in chains while he's kept prisoner at Eleanor's house.
* CanonForeigner: He did not appear in the books and cassette tapes.
* TheCaretaker: After he saves Teddy from drowning in the river, he takes care of him and nurses him back to health while Teddy drifts in and out of consciousness.
* DependingOnTheWriter: In-universe example. There are all kinds of stories floating around about him because no one has met him in person before. "Some say he's a monster with huge glowing eyes, or a fish, or a Fob, or a sneaky M.A.V.O. spy..."
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:He was captured by M.A.V.O., had his memory erased, and got sent to the Ying Zoo. Even after escaping, he couldn't return to his family due to having lost his memory, so he ended up living in Leekee Lake.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's just called the Hermit of Leekee Lake because no one knew his name. Teddy addresses him as Mr. Hermit.
* GaleForceSound: When he and Teddy say goodbye to Zeb and Maple, Zeb tells him to speak up. He shouts at him, blowing him backwards because Zeb's a tiny Elf.
* GoodParents: [[spoiler:Even before he remembered he was Teddy father, he was always good to him, even being a PapaWolf.]]
* GutFeeling: In "Fugitives", he tells Teddy that they should approach Gimmick's house cautiously, saying he has a hunch that something's wrong. He was right because M.A.V.O. was guarding the house.
* HappilyMarried; [[spoiler:To Ilana. He would have returned if he remembered she existed. When they reunite, all is well between them.]]
* TheHermit: It's what everyone calls him because he keeps to himself.
* HostageMacGuffin: After M.A.V.O. accidentally kidnaps him instead of Teddy, they use him as bait, knowing one Illiop will always save another. It gets Teddy captured.
* HouseSquatting: He doesn't own his lair. He just found it. It was built by an old civilization on his island, but since no one used it anymore, he settled there.
* IAmSong: The characters sing a song about him and his legend, but the lyrics make it clear that no one knows for sure what he is. So, more of an "I Might Be" Song.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Like Teddy, he does not fall under M.A.V.O.'s evil spell when they have the Crystals, suggesting that Illiops are immune to it. Maybe this is why M.A.V.O. fears them.
* InTheHood: Early on, he would keep the hood of his robe up to make him seem mysterious. He stops wearing it when he begins to open up to Teddy.
* IntrepidMerchant: [[spoiler:Before he lost his memory, he was a trader and adventurer who traveled around trading his herbs for both food and medicine. He never came back after M.A.V.O. captured him.]]
* ItsQuietTooQuiet: In "Fugitives", when he and Teddy reach Gimmick's Valley, he says that when everything seems fine like it does then, that's just when things go wrong.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The Seventh Crystal did this to him, although he is hinted to have some trace memories.
* LethalChef: He cooks very sticky food from underwater plants that Teddy finds hard to digest. Like with Grubby's root recipes, Teddy pretends to like it.
* LivingLegend: [[spoiler:In Rillonia, he's become such a famous explorer that they hold a special day in his honor.]]
* TheMedic: One of his skills is healing. In his first appearance, he nurses Teddy back to health and gives him a homemade healing potion. [[spoiler:He gets it from his old life as a trader when he worked with a lot of herbs.]]

* AshFace: When using a flame or rocket to start a race in Wizardweek, this usually happens to him.
* TheBarnum: While not as unscrupulous as his brother, the Wizard of Grundo does fool his customers and charges a lot for his services. Though he does genuinely try to make his customers happy and satisfied.
* BigBrotherBully: He's older than the Sorcerer, and the two hate each other and call each other insulting nicknames.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: The symbol on his hat is a stylized W for "Wizard".

* EmbarrassingNickname: The Sorcerer calls him "Stinky". He has one for the Sorcerer too, "Bucky".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When Teddy says that "the poor princess" needs their help, he says "''Poor'' princess? Forget it!" Gimmick clarifies that Aruzia is a rich but unfortunate princess, so the Wizard changes his mind and lets them in. And that's all you need to know about him.
* EurekaMoment: In "Wizardweek", after his destroyed amusement park left him broke and depressed, hearing the word "festival" gives him a brilliant idea: hold a sports festival to honor himself and charge admission fees.

* {{Facepalm}}: Does this when Louie misunderstands him over their radio in his first appearance.
* FakeWizardry: The Wizard does this as a schtick to attract customers. His "magic eye" is just a movie projector screen, but the technology is so rare and obscure that it's easy to fool people. Despite his fakery, all the information he provides is as true as he can make it.
* GoodCounterpart: Compared to his brother, he's a much nicer person despite being similarly greedy. While the Sorcerer of Ying makes money by exploiting people in his zoo, the Wizard genuinely tries to entertain and help people.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's greedy and only seems to care about money, but he does have morals that his brother lacks. During Teddy's DisneyDeath, he mourns Teddy, and in the penultimate episode, [[spoiler:he officiates L.B. and Buffy's wedding]].

* ActuallyThatsMyAssistant: While disguised as painters in the castle, Queen Lillibet calls Tweeg L.B.'s assistant instead of the other way around because she thinks L.B. is doing a better job.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: They are introduced in the fourth book and tape ''Tweeg and the Bounders''. In the animated series, they are there from the start.
* AdultsDressedAsChildren: In "The Lemonade Stand", they disguise themselves as two little boys selling lemonade, dressing in old-fashioned sailor boy outfits. Tweeg is way taller than the Trio, but everyone is fooled anyway.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: Tweeg takes and L.B. gives. Tweeg makes L.B. do all the hard work and heavy lifting around the tower and puts off paying him as much as possible, yet L.B. never resigns.
* AmbiguousSyntax: When Tweeg thinks he's sick he says to L.B., "Call me a doctor!" "Okay, Twip. You're a doctor."
* ArtsyBeret: They wear berets as part of their disguise as painters to sneak into King Nogburt's castle.
* AscendedExtra: They only appear in a few of the books, but they appear in all but a few episodes of the series. Tweeg's desire to join M.A.V.O. is just mentioned in the books to give him a motive, but in this series, it's an ongoing story arc. L.B. also has character development, and his relationship Buffy is a subplot.
* AshFace: This tends to happen to them, but mostly to Tweeg, when the cannon doesn't fire properly.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: They don't often show it, but L.B. goes for help when Tweeg gets the Tweezles, goes to Ying to find him and bring him home, and later saves him from Quellor's henchmen when they tie him up. They also give each other holiday gifts, and [[spoiler:Tweeg also gives L.B. a wedding present when L.B. marries Buffy]].
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: This is how they see things. It's why Tweeg dreams of being a great villain and why L.B. sweet-talks his girlfriend with disgusting metaphors.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Tweeg, a Troll/Grunge hybrid, is a few times taller than L.B., a Bounder.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: When Tweeg's cannon fails to fire a cannonball, they (but mostly Tweeg) are prone to getting blasted backwards
* BoxedCrook: After Tweeg and L.B. fail Quellor, they're made prisoners, but they're the only ones at M.A.V.O. who have dealt with Teddy, so when Quellor gives them a chance to make up for their mistakes, they jump at the chance. Unfortunately, they Teddy and don't recover the Crystals, so it's back to scrubbing floors for them.
* BrainsAndBrawn: Tweeg describes their relationship this way in "Teddy and the Mudblups". Tweeg does the planning (badly), L.B. does the pulling (begrudgingly).
* BumblingHenchmenDuo: Once they begin working for Quellor, they become this. They were always a bumbling duo, but before, one was the other's henchman.
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: They constantly argue and annoy each other, but both have admitted that it's not the same when the other is not around.
* ChariotPulledByCats: L.B., a bounder, usually pulls Tweeg in his wagon.
* CheatersNeverProsper: No matter how many times they lie and cheat, they never seem to come out on top. It's occasionally subverted. In "Air and Water Races", Tweeg comes up with an idea to sabotage the competition by sewing them into their sleeping bags, allowing his team to get first, second, and third place in the synchronized swimming contest.
* CirclingBirdies: The "seeing stars" variant tends to happen to Tweeg when he gets knocked on the head. L.B. gets it too on occasion.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Tweeg's Mom" mostly focuses on them, while the Trio appear very little in the episode.
* DressedToPlunder: In "Captured", they briefly get to join the M.A.V.O. pirates dressed in pirate clothes.
* {{Expy}}: Tweeg and L.B. are expies of [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Dick]] [[WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines Dastardly and Muttley]]. L.B. occasionally laughs like Muttley, and Tweeg not only has his DickDastardlyStopsToCheat moments but he once said [[BorrowedCatchphrase "Drat, drat, and double drat"]].

* MacGuffinBlindness: In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains"¸ they dismiss the Crystals that the Trio found as worthless pieces of glass, thinking that the real treasure is the room full of gold that they left behind. Double-subverted in "Grubby's Romance". Once they take a closer look at the Crystals, they think that they might be valuable...because they look like diamonds.
* MasterOfDisguise: Disguises seem to be the one thing they're always good at. From old ladies to little boys to smooth-talking businessmen, their ability to fool people knows no bounds.
* OhCrap: They get this reaction when something goes wrong. For example, when they follow the Trio into a cave in
* RobeAndWizardHat: Always wears a blue robe and pointed blue hat with white suns, moons, and stars all over.
* SiblingRivalry: He and the Sorcerer take this to the next level. The Wizard opens a theme park called Wizardland right across the way from the Sorcerer's own attraction the Ying Zoo, and the two constantly compete for customers.
* SloganYellingMegaphoneGuy: He uses a megaphone to announce the attractions at Wizardland to draw his brother's customers away.
* SpeechImpediment: He is a Perloon, but instead of a stutter like Gimmick and Eunice, he talks with a slight lisp.
* SquashedFlat: In "Wizardland", when
* PaperThinDisguise: Tweeg, being a unique hybrid, has a very distinct appearance, but people hardly ever see through
* SweetTooth: He admits that he has
* TrashTalk: He and
* PluckyComicRelief: Tweeg's failed schemes and L.B.'s snark provide a lot of humor in
* PetTheDog: Both are known
* WizardBeard: He has a white beard like a lot of wizards, although
*
* RegularCharacter: In the animated series, they are only absent from a handful of the sixty-five episodes.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: They are both each other's favorite target for derogatory remarks.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: They constantly insult and annoy each other, making you wonder why they put up with the situation for so long.
* UnexpectedSuccessor: Both briefly serve as the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O., but neither of them sees it coming. The rules say that the Supreme Oppressor must always possess the Black Box, so just getting a hold of it puts them into the position.
* VillainDecay:
* VitriolicBestBuds: Emphasis on the vitriolic part. Despite their bickering, they stick together.
* WorkingOnTheChainGang: During their time as M.A.V.O. prisoners, they get chained together at the ankles and are forced to clean M.A.V.O. Headquarters.
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Any time L.B. gets Tweeg's name right, it means something. He says it to Tweeg's face twice in the series: once when Tweeg thinks

Tweeg was the Trio's first antagonist. He wants more than anything to be accepted into the Monsters and Villains Organization, but he's just not evil enough.

* AccidentalAimingSkills: The first time his cannon hits something, he was aiming for Gimmick's house as usual, but instead he hits Mrs. Maggotheart's collection wagon. The other time, he's trying to take the Airship out of the final Wizardweek race, but he ends up hitting his mother's vehicle.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: It's a RunningGag. He's had boxes, cannonballs, and other things land on his foot in "The Faded Fobs", "Sign of a Friend", "The Crystal Book," In "The Black Box", and "A Race to the Finish".
* AintTooProudToBeg: On several occasions, he's willing to get down on the floor and beg Quellor or his mother to have mercy.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: When Tweeg zaps himself by the Black Box, he doesn't act villainous anymore.
* AmusingInjuries: Tweeg falls victim to a lot of these. Sometimes he's HoistByHisOwnPetard, sometimes L.B. puts it on him, and sometimes things just happen.
* AmusinglyAwfulAim: Tweeg regularly bombards Newton Gimmick's house with a cannon from his tower. However, Tweeg's aim is so bad that there is a neat, clean ring of cannonballs all around Newton's house.
* AnythingButThat: The worst possible fate imaginable to him is being locked in a room with the M.A.V.O. dues collector.
* BaitAndSwitchComment: He does this twice in "The Great Grundo Ground Race". Before the race starts, he says, "I've never challenged Mummy before. I'm afraid it might upset her." [...] "Upset her when I leave her sucking dust at the finish line!" Later, when L.B. helps him escape the capture of Quellor's henchmen, he says, "I never thought I'd thank you for anything, L.B." [...] "So I won't."
* BalconyEscape: He climbs out his window down his balcony at one point, so he won't have to face Mrs. Maggotheart when she comes over. The rope breaks.
* BaldOfEvil: He's a villain who's bald. It's not clear why. Both his parents have a head full of hair, yet a cross between their races doesn't.
* BareHandedPuppetry: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he dresses his hand as an Elf named Tweegle and draws on a face so he can cause trouble in the Elf and Woodsprite Village.
* BecauseISaidSo: His usual response when L.B. asks why he has to do a certain task.
* BerserkButton: Cannot ''stand it'' when people mess up his name. Of course, L.B. loves to deliberately do this just for kicks.
* BetrayalByOffspring: He sells his own mother out to the Mudblup King so he and L.B. can escape from prison.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite his status as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, Tweeg has twice nearly managed to start a war; once between the formerly friendly Elves and Woodsprites, and again between M.A.V.O. and the Gutangs. His actions were only stopped at the last minute both times.
* BigBadEnsemble: Part of one along with Quellor, the Mudblup King, the Sorcerer, and the Gutangs. All are independent villains of each other.
* BigDamnReunion: [[spoiler:In "Father's Day", he reunites with his father when his father comes to meet him.]]
* BlankSlate: After he's had his memory erased by the Black Box, he is left with no thoughts and no personality. When Gimmick tries to use the Crystal Stethoscope on him, it doesn't register any personality traits at all.
* BlessedWithSuck: Being a cross between a Troll and a Grunge has its problems. He has his mother's evil morals but his father's skills, so he can't be both happy and successful.
* BlowingARaspberry: In the Wizardweek ground race, after the Elves and Woodsprites fix his sabotage, he blows them one in frustration.
* {{Bouncer}}: During L.B.'s reign as Supreme Oppressor, he becomes the new gatekeeper and is forced to deal with the riffraff of monsters that try to come in.
* BoundAndGagged:
** In "Uncle Grubby", when he's put on trial at M.A.V.O., he's chained up in court. He's then gagged so he can't defend himself because no M.A.V.O. trial is a fair one.
** In "Winter Adventure", Quellor's henchmen come to his tower and tie him up so they can get his gold formula. They skip the gag, though, because then he can't tell them what they want him to know.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: He often monograms his things with a big T for Tweeg.
* BuffySpeak: When he has some catapults built for war with the Gutangs, he calls them "springy things". When L.B. clarifies that they're called catapults, Tweeg thinks he's thinking of caterpillars.
* CaptivityHarmonica: Plays one after being thrown in the M.A.V.O. dungeon. After being fed up with being locked up, he throws it in frustration.
* CardCarryingVillain: Or card-carrying villain wannabe. In Grundo, villains usually refer to themselves as villains, including Tweeg.
* CatchYourDeathOfCold: After being caught in a sudden downpour in his burned-down house, his next scene has him sneezing under a blanket with his feet in hot water.
* TheChewToy: He never seems to stop being a source of comedic pain.
* ClassyCane: In some of his disguises, he dresses as a gentleman holding an old-fashioned cane.
* ClothingDamage: Notable for how it's accomplished. After accidentally blasting himself with the black box, the now mindless Tweeg wanders off from the Hard to Find City in a ditzy daze. Next time we see him, the collar of his robe is missing, the sleeves are in tatters, and his ankles are exposed due to the damage being out in the wild has done.
* ComplimentBackfire: Eleanor sets him up to fall for this. When she accuses him of calling her a liar, he denies that, but then, she gets offended by the notion that she's ''not'' a liar.
* ConMan: Swindling and cheating are explicitly in the M.A.V.O. list of required bad deeds. He does manage to do this in a couple of episodes, although he gets his comeuppance.
* ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his recipe for making gold out of buttermilk.
* CoolCrown: In a couple of {{Imagine Spot}}s, he fantasizes about wearing a royal crown. He actually gets one when he becomes the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O. for a while.
* CranialEruption: In "Thin Ice", when he opens the door while Mrs. Maggotheart is hammering a poster to it, she accidentally bops him on the head and gives him one.
* CreepyCrossdresser: He's a MasterOfDisguise, and a few of his disguises involve him dressing as a woman.
* CripplingTheCompetition: During a Grungeball game, when his team is losing bigtime, he tricks the Grunges into eating plants that give them awful stomachaches, and in Wizardweek, the only reason his team wins one event is he makes sure the other players can't get out of bed.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: His alleged gold recipe only ever comes out with buttermilk donuts. L.B. eventually figures out that he and the Bounders could make money if they started selling the donuts and only abandon the idea when L.B. thinks that the formula has worked. But even if selling donuts occurred to Tweeg, he probably wouldn't do it. Running an honest business wouldn't score any points with M.A.V.O.
* DastardlyWhiplash: Tweeg is known to wear a black outfit and moustache in his schemes, and is an {{Expy}} of Dick Dastardly.
* {{Determinator}}: You've got to give him credit. He sure doesn't give up his dream.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: After crossing a bridge during a race, Tweeg stopped to destroy it and even waited to see how the Wooly What's-It would cross it. And he wasn't even on the lead.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He does this all the time.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He decides to go to war against the Gutangs when their ambassador says that they can't afford the new subscription rate of ''True Villainy''.
* DisappearedDad: Well, sort of; Tweeg's father Elroy didn't so much "disappear" as he got divorced from (kicked out by) Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, who retained custody of their son. Tweeg knew he was still alive, but never met up with him until episode 61, "Father's Day"; they do get on very well, but, ultimately, Tweeg has too much of his mother in him and he ultimately leaves his dad in shame.
* DisguisedInDrag: Sometimes he disguises himself as a woman, including his first disguise ever in "In the Fortress of the Wizard".
* TheDoorSlamsYou: Another RunningGag. Eleanor did it in "Tweeg's Mom" and "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups",
* DoWrongRight: He pulls this on himself, knowing getting into M.A.V.O. means successfully filling a list of bad deeds. L.B. says that since he always fails at that, maybe he could try doing right wrong!
* DramaticDrop: In Wizardweek, while trying to make a magic potion, L.B. catches him by surprise and makes him drop and break the beaker.
* DrunkWithPower: After he becomes the Supreme Oppressor, he goes so mad with power that he actually declares war on the Gutangs. This time, he goes so far that L.B. betrays him and helps Quellor get back into power.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Tweeg desperately wants to be taken seriously as a villain, but nobody gives him even the slightest credit. Even his own minions mock him. To his ''face''.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: To Tweeg, anyway; his full name is actually Jack W. Tweeg. We never do find out what the "W" stands for, so it is possible he also has an EmbarrassingMiddleName.
* EmbarrassinglyPainfulSunburn: While lying on the beach in one episode, he ignores his father's advice to put on some lotion and gets a terrible sunburn on his nose.
* EmbodimentOfVice: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him in disguise, the Crystal says the trait he embodies is greed.
* EntertaininglyWrong: When he spies on the Trio, sees that they're cooking something with buttermilk and flour, and remembers how L.B., who is a jerk and a troublemaker to him, hasn't gotten any money from him in ages, he concludes that L.B. must have sold his gold recipe to Gimmick. The Trio are just baking cookies.
* EpicFlail: He tries to use a flail in "The Crystal Book", but he accidentally breaks his mother's mirror with it and drops it on his foot. So, EpicFail of Epic Flail.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Zig-zagged. He outright says that he loves her in "Tweeg's Mom". For the rest of the series, it's questionable whether what he feels for her is genuine love, although he still wants to make her proud.
* EvilGenius: He calls himself all the time, although the genius part is questionable at best.
* EvilIsPetty: He does all kinds of petty things, such as belittling his employees, refusing to thank people who help him, and not brushing his teeth. It's established in-universe that to be a proper villain, you have to do both major and minor bad deeds.
* EvilKnockoff: In "Win One for the Twipper", he becomes one for Newton Gimmick called Winston Tweeter, wearing the exact same outfit and even having the same stutter.
* EvilLaugh: He often does this when he's happy or thinks he's being clever.
* FaintInShock: At the end of his trial in "Double Grubby", M.A.V.O. gives him a second chance to complete his checklist, but to make sure he does it right, they assign L.B. as his supervisor, which makes him faint.
* FakingAmnesia: After getting his memory restored by the Black Box in "The Big Escape", he pretends to still have amnesia for a little while to take advantage of Eleanor and L.B.
* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: He actually manages to cheat Grundo's people out of a lot of money with his Rainbow Falls water scheme, but the Trio trick him into giving the money back by making thinking he'll be even richer.
* ForgotToMindTheirHead: While working his Wizardweek chariot, L.B. calls out to him, causing him to bump his head under the chariot.
* FreudianExcuse: Tweeg sings a song about how his mother always abused him as a child and made him into the rotten guy he is today.
* GetOut: Tells this to the Bounders when he thinks that L.B. leaked out his gold formula to the Trio.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Sometimes, L.B. will make a suggestion and Tweeg will pretend he thought of it himself, such as giving everyone the Tweezles and selling a fake cure in "The Lemonade Stand".
* GoldFever: If there's gold to be had, he's got to have it. He blows a lot of his money on buying buttermilk and flour because he thinks he has a recipe for turning it into gold.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Once, he lifts his robe to reveal orange boxers with white spots.
* GotMeDoingIt: In "In the Fortress of the Wizard" and "The Medicine Wagon", after hearing L.B. call him "Tweek" or "Tweeze" too many times, he accidentally calls himself that.
* GrapesOfLuxury: After he is declared the new Supreme Oppressor, the first thing he orders after having Quellor locked up is for Mrs. Maggotheart to peel grapes for him to eat.
* {{Greed}}: He'll do anything if it means getting rich. In "The Crystal Book", Gimmick's new invention the Crystal Stethoscope reveals that greed is a key trait of his.
* GreenAndMean: He's bright green and a villain. He gets it from his Troll mother.
* GreenEyedMonster: Tweeg's vendetta against Gimmick is solely due to the fact that Gimmick is a brilliant inventor and creates many marvelous inventions, whilst Tweeg's perpetual quest to create a formula that will turn buttermilk into gold has never succeeded.
* HairTriggerAvalanche: When he fires his cannon in the winter, the noise causes an avalanche that buries him and his tower.
* HarmlessLadyDisguise: For his first disguise in the show, he dresses as a little old lady and asks for their help. The Trio don't suspect the disguised Tweeg, though they admit that "she" is a little strange.
* HatesTheirParent: While he wants to make her proud, you can't call it affection. When he realizes his mother was in a dream he had, he calls it a nightmare.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: In "Father's Day", Tweeg actually considers giving up on villainy and committing to the Surf Grunge lifestyle he actively enjoys... but, upon seeing his father's championship winnings, he can't resist his mother's training and steals them. When his dad catches him out with them, Tweeg gives them back in shame at hurting his dad and then returns to his tower, resigning himself to villainy.
* HighHopesZeroTalent: All he really wants to be is a great villain like his mother, but since his talents come from his father's side, he's not very good at villainy.
* HiddenDepths: When reunited with his father, after being given an opportunity to practice, Tweeg turns out to be a natural surfer.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Often, it's his own fault that his schemes fail because he doesn't think things through. Once he tries to use the Black Box against Quellor, only to erase his own memories because he doesn't know how to aim it.
* {{Hypochondria}}: During the Tweezle episode, he turns red with blue spots. Okay, viable reason to think you're sick. But then he starts to think he's getting other symptoms that he never had like a fever. At the end of the episode, he and the Trio sing a song about how your attitude can affect how healthy you feel.
* IAmSong: "The Black Box", he sings "I'm Tweeg" which is basically him singing about what his name is and the proper way to say it. The next episode, he gets another called "I'm the Supreme Oppressor".
* ICantLookGesture: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge ransack his tower looking for the gold formula, he scrunches his eyes and tries to look away.
* IHaveYourWife: He kidnaps Fuzz, Gimmick's pet Fob, and leaves a threatening note saying that if the Trio don't leave the valley by sundown, they'll never see him again.
* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: When he sees the result of Gimmick PalatePropping L.B., he complains, "Why am I always pulling things out of your mouth? I'm a villain, not a dentist."
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: He's not called the world's worst shot for nothing. He's so terrible at aiming his cannon that Gimmick outright states the safest place to be when Tweeg starts shooting is right where he's aiming for. He's even taken to writing "return to Tweeg" on all his cannonballs because he loses that many of them.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: For all his antagonistic role, Tweeg just... isn't a very good villain. Even InUniverse, his "enemies" see him as more of a nuisance than an actual threat. Episode 61 actually implies Tweeg would really be happier if he gave villainy up, but he can't think of anything else to do with himself.
* InaneBlabbering: After he has his memories erased, he can only babble at first. He's gradually able to speak coherently, but he still knows nothing until his memories are returned.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", Tweeg comes to the conclusion that since snowballs are sparkly, and so are the Crystals, this means the Crystals are made of snow.
* InsistentTerminology: In "The Crystal Book", he tells his mother he's not whining. He's whimpering.
* InsultBackfire: When Bognostroclum pulls a BaitAndSwitchComment that ends with insulting him, Tweeg responds that he has no time for flattery. And during the Wizardweek parade, when the crowd boos Tweeg, he takes it to mean they love him.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Tweeg hates the fact that M.A.V.O. has been hunting him like a common villain. Because he's not common, he's a ''master'' villain!
* TheKlutz: He's a real bungler in what he does and tends to be a victim of amusing injuries.
* LadiesAndGerms: He introduces his phony rainmaking machine by saying "Illipers and Perloons, Grundonians and Nogburtniks".
* LampshadeWearing: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", after he sneaks into Gimmick's house, he puts on a lampshade and pretends to be a lamp so he won't be noticed.
* LastNameBasis: Everyone calls him Tweeg. In fact, even his own parents don't call him Jack, though they often affectionately call him Tweegie.
* LateToTheRealization: Sometimes he takes a minute to realize something. For example, in the live-action special, L.B. has to tell him multiple times while he's busy feeling sorry for himself that the Airship is landing.
* LeanAndMean: He's tall, thin, and villainous.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he tricks the Elves and the Woodsprites into fighting, since the M.A.V.O. list of bad deeds includes starting a fight between perfectly good friends. He tries it again between Gimmick and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups", but Teddy solves the disagreement quickly.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Inverted. Not only does he prefer to take after his mother, but he also goes by her last name. Grunges don't have last names, though, so Elroy took Eleanor's when they married.
* LiteralMinded: When Louie visits Tweeg's lemonade stand, he orders a lemonade "on the rocks". Tweeg shrugs and dumps some lemonade on the ground.
* LivingMuseumExhibit: The Sorcerer's minions find him without his memory and deliver him to their boss, who presents him as "The Troll-Grunge with No Brain."
* LyingFingerCross: In "Wizardweek", when Teddy wishes him good luck, he crosses his fingers behind his back while he wishes him the same.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Not only does L.B. do it to Tweeg, Tweeg also does it to Teddy, calling him such names as "Teddy Dustbin" or "Teddy Rucksack".
* ManipulativeBastard: He can be this when he wants to be. He manages to manipulate the Mudblup King into letting him go by making the king think Eleanor will marry the king, and later manipulates Quellor into letting him keep his memory in exchange for the (fake) gold formula.
* MathematiciansAnswer: When Quellor asks if he acquired the Crystals by stealing or treachery, Tweeg just gives a nervous "Yes." Quellor is pleased with this answer.
* MedicineShow: In "The Medicine Wagon", he opens one to sell his phony Tweezle remedy, even getting the Bounders to do a song and dance number like a commercial.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: It's never revealed what the W stands for.
* NeverMyFault: Whenever one of his plans doesn't work, he insists that it must be L.B.'s fault.
* NoListeningSkills: He never listens to L.B. has a helpful suggestion and just brushes off L.B.'s warning that things will go wrong.
* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, is a Troll, whilst his father, Elroy, is a Surf Grunge.
* NonPromotion: Eleanor, in a rare moment of kindness, recommends Tweeg for the new keeper of the gate. Tweeg is thrilled at first because it means he's an important member of M.A.V.O. but comes to hate it when he realizes how much work it involves.
* NoSenseOfDirection: When he and L.B. fall from the ''Eclipse'' and land in the water, he insists that they're swimming in the right direction to land. The shore is right behind them without them even knowing it.
* NosyNeighbor: He's always using his telescope to spy on Gimmick's house from up in his tower, thinking that Gimmick is up to something.
* NotQuiteDead: After the ''Eclipse'' sinks into the water, Quellor wonders if Tweeg went down with it. The next scene is a shot of him and L.B. swimming away.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Although he never succeeds at doing anything too villainous, Tweeg also has a fairly ruthless streak. He actually ''sold his own mother'' to the Mudblup King as a bride in return for a trunk full of gems[[note]]although he knew the King was in love with his mother, and she herself was willing to go along with it once Tweeg thought to bribe her[[/note]], and once abducted Gimmick's pet Fob, Fuzz, in order to blackmail Gimmick into leaving the valley.
* OldTimeyBathingSuit: He wears a blue-and-yellow-striped one in "Air and Water Races".
* OpportunisticBastard: He loves to seize any opportunity that pops up to get rich or commit an evil deed. Unfortunately, he doesn't think long-term, just focusing on the opportunity itself, so it rarely goes well.
* TheParanoiac: He's got more than enough criteria to count:
** NeverMyFault: He blame others, mostly L.B., when one of his plans goes wrong while [[GladIThoughtOfIt taking credit for L.B.'s good ideas]].
** [[JadeColoredGlasses Suspiciousness / Cynicism]]: He's very suspicious of the Trio, assumes that they're out to get him, and believes that he has to lie and cheat to get what he wants.
** {{Jerkass}}: He rarely cares about anyone but himself.
** [[{{Narcissist}} Self-Importance]]: He thinks he's a genius and that it's his destiny to be the richest and greatest villain in Grundo.
** ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his gold formula.
* PatchworkKids: He's half-Troll, half-Grunge and looks it. He has the tall, humanoid build of a Grunge but has his mother's green Troll skin. And while he follows his mother's morality, he gets his father's talents.
* PieInTheFace: When M.A.V.O. finally gets the Crystals, the monsters are so happy that they have fun throwing pies around the meeting room. One hits Tweeg.
* PlotAllergy: Complains when he gets covered in strawberry juice that strawberries give him a rash.
* PolkaDotDisease: Subverted. He wakes up one morning having turned red with blue dots all over and thinks he has this. L.B. calls the condition the Tweezles. After the Trio try to help him, they figure it out that skin only changed because he drank Rainbow Falls water.
* PowderGag: In "Double Grubby", when his cannon misfires, the ball lands on the flour bag L.B. stole and leaves him covered with flour. It makes him look like an Illiop.
* ThePrankster: He turns into one in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball". When forced to greet party guests at the door, he does so with practical jokes. Apparently, M.A.V.O.'s spell of evil even made him be a better bad guy.
* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: He wears a dark purple robe. The ambiguity of purple is fitting for a guy who [[EvilWearsBlack wants to be a villain]] but [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain never quite makes it]].
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: This sometimes happens him when he fires his cannon. Since he lives at the top of a tower, he's prone to riding his cannon backwards down his long spiral staircase.
* RemovingTheRival: One of his favorite tactics in a competition is this. During a Grungeball game, he gives some of the other team a stomachache, allowing his own team to catch up, and in Wizardweek, the only event his team won was the synchronized swimming because he sabotaged all the other teams.
* ReplacedWithReplica: In "Winter Adventure", the Bounders help him escape Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge by replacing him with a dummy.
* TheRival: He sees his relationship with Gimmick as this, though they play it straighter during sporting events when they compete against each other.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: He's green and wears purple. At one point, it's revealed that he wears orange underwear, completing the set.
* ShamedByAMob: [[spoiler:After L.B. gives his wedding vows to Buffy]], Tweeg says, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." The guests glare at him angrily.
* SharpDressedMan: Some of his disguises have him dressed in a suit and tie to look like a respectable businessman.
* SissyVillain: He's really skinny, crossdresses multiple times in the series, and has a voice that sounds like it never aged properly.
* SlipperySkid: In "King Nogburt's Castle", he runs onto his balcony, steps on one of his cannonballs, and rolls and crashes right through his railing.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He calls himself an EvilGenius, but he's not nearly as smart (or for that matter as evil) as he thinks he is. The times when he actually knows what he's doing in his schemes are few and far between.
* SmugSnake: A villain who thinks he's way better than he really is. He often looks smug until his plans turn sideways.
* SnakeOilSalesman: One of his favorite ways to get quick cash, either by selling dubious knickknacks imagined problems or a largely harmless "cure-all" potion that gives its drinkers spots.
* SodaCanShakeup: After stealing Grubby's root beer recipe and selling it as "Villain Up", the customers want a little more fizz. So shakes a whole barrel of it as much as he can, and it explodes, splashing everyone.
* SpeechImpediment: When dressed as a little boy selling lemonade, he uses a fake impediment to make him sound more childish, somewhere between a mild lisp and mild ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
* StaircaseTumble: He's prone to falling down his staircase. And since he lives at the top of the tower with a long, spiraling stone staircase, it's a long and painful fall.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Any time he looks like he's going to succeed doesn't last long. At one point, he becomes Supreme Oppressor, only to lose the spot by the end of the next episode.
* StickyFingers: Stealing is one of the things he has to do to join M.A.V.O. When he visits his mother and she opens her safe, he snatches a ruby. She catches him in the act but comments that he's got the right idea.
* StupidestThingIveEverHeard: He says just this about [[spoiler:L.B.'s wedding vows to Buffy]], which are really just a piece of bad poetry. The other guests give Tweeg a DeathGlare.
* SurferDude: He tries to adopt this lifestyle to bond with his father and picks up the slang quickly, although he eventually goes back to being a villain.
* TakingCandyFromABaby: This is on the checklist of bad deeds for someone who wants to join M.A.V.O. He even forces L.B. to stand in for a baby for practice. At one point, he does steal candy from baby Fobs, but Wooly was there at the time and angrily forces him to give it back.
* TallyMarksOnThePrisonWall: While locked up in "Autumn Adventure". It's parodied because he's actually marking off the minutes.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Apart from the Rainbow Falls lemonade fiasco, he hides a special plant that causes a belly ache in some hot dogs and tricks the Grunges into eating them.
* TemptingFate: In "Beware of the Mudblups", he swears he'll get the best of Gimmick one day. "May I be struck from above if I don't." He immediately gets struck by some root stew that was dumped overboard the Airship.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: In some episodes, he announces it, such as in "Tweeg Gets the Tweezles" when he says he feels a song coming on.
* ThatsAnOrder: When he forces L.B. to scrape the slime off the bottom of the ''Eclipse'', he says that he's ordering and not asking him to do it.
* ThisMeansWar: During his brief reign as the Supreme Oppressor, he says this to the Gutang Ambassador.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Despite his many failures, occasionally, he manages to actually do something nasty that works. In "Teddy and the Mudblups", he sells out his own mother to the Mudblup King, which is a triple whammy for his checklist of bad deeds.
* TrappedTheWrongTarget: When he finds out that there's a reward for capturing Teddy, he tries to find him with a net. He hears someone coming and catches L.B. by mistake.
* TheUnFavourite: He's actually an only child, and he still manages to be this in his mother's eyes.
* UngratefulBastard: One episode had Tweeg believing he had some horrible disease. The Trio, at L.B.'s request, came to the tower to help and offered folk remedies. Finally, Gimmick figured out that Tweeg had been drinking water from Rainbow Falls. Rather than be thankful his "disease" is just a temporary discoloration, Tweeg throws a fit, demanding Gimmick and company leave his tower and accusing them of using this as an opportunity to torture him and learn his secrets.
* WalkingDisasterArea: He's such a bungler that you can count episodes where he doesn't cause disaster on one hand.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Part of the reason Tweeg is driven to become a great villain is to make his mother proud. Even little things like hearing her call him "son" fill him with joy.
* WhosLaughingNow: When he briefly becomes the new Supreme Oppressor, he basks in it by getting back at others, throwing Quellor in the dungeon and forcing Mrs. Maggotheart to feed him GrapesOfLuxury.
* WingdingEyes: After he has his memory erased, he has spirals or circles around his pupils.
* WordSchmord: In "The Black Box", Tweeg says "Screwdriver Schmewdriver" because what L.B. stole is more important than the tool he needed before.
* XanatosSpeedChess: When he quickly changes their cover from portrait painters to housepainters to infiltrate the castle, he explains to L.B. that part of being a good villain is adjusting your plans.
* YoureInsane: When M.A.V.O. is short on funds and Mrs. Maggotheart suggests selling M.A.V.O.'s gold and jewels, then-Supreme Oppressor Tweeg calls her a nut.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: It's a RunningGag. He's had boxes, cannonballs, and other things land on his foot in "The Faded Fobs", "Sign of a Friend", "The Crystal Book," In "The Black Box", and "A Race to the Finish".
* AintTooProudToBeg: On several occasions, he's willing to get down on the floor and beg Quellor or his mother to have mercy.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: When Tweeg zaps himself by the Black Box, he doesn't act villainous anymore.
* AmusingInjuries: Tweeg falls victim to a lot of these. Sometimes he's HoistByHisOwnPetard, sometimes L.B. puts it on him, and sometimes things just happen.
* AmusinglyAwfulAim: Tweeg regularly bombards Newton Gimmick's house with a cannon from his tower. However, Tweeg's aim is so bad that there is a neat, clean ring of cannonballs all around Newton's house.
* AnythingButThat: The worst possible fate imaginable to him is being locked in a room with the M.A.V.O. dues collector.
* BaitAndSwitchComment: He does this twice in "The Great Grundo Ground Race". Before the race starts, he says, "I've never challenged Mummy before. I'm afraid it might upset her." [...] "Upset her when I leave her sucking dust at the finish line!" Later, when L.B. helps him escape the capture of Quellor's henchmen, he says, "I never thought I'd thank you for anything, L.B." [...] "So I won't."
* BalconyEscape: He climbs out his window down his balcony at one point, so he won't have to face Mrs. Maggotheart when she comes over. The rope breaks.
* BaldOfEvil: He's a villain who's bald. It's not clear why. Both his parents have a head full of hair, yet a cross between their races doesn't.
* BareHandedPuppetry: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he dresses his hand as an Elf named Tweegle and draws on a face so he can cause trouble in the Elf and Woodsprite Village.
* BecauseISaidSo: His usual response when L.B. asks why he has to do a certain task.
* BerserkButton: Cannot ''stand it'' when people mess up his name. Of course, L.B. loves to deliberately do this just for kicks.
* BetrayalByOffspring: He sells his own mother out to the Mudblup King so he and L.B. can escape from prison.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite his status as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, Tweeg has twice nearly managed to start a war; once between the formerly friendly Elves and Woodsprites, and again between M.A.V.O. and the Gutangs. His actions were only stopped at the last minute both times.
* BigBadEnsemble: Part of one along with Quellor, the Mudblup King, the Sorcerer, and the Gutangs. All are independent villains of each other.
* BigDamnReunion: [[spoiler:In "Father's Day", he reunites with his father when his father comes to meet him.]]
* BlankSlate: After he's had his memory erased by the Black Box, he is left with no thoughts and no personality. When Gimmick tries to use the Crystal Stethoscope on him, it doesn't register any personality traits at all.
* BlessedWithSuck: Being a cross between a Troll and a Grunge has its problems. He has his mother's evil morals but his father's skills, so he can't be both happy and successful.
* BlowingARaspberry: In the Wizardweek ground race, after the Elves and Woodsprites fix his sabotage, he blows them one in frustration.
* {{Bouncer}}: During L.B.'s reign as Supreme Oppressor, he becomes the new gatekeeper and is forced to deal with the riffraff of monsters that try to come in.
* BoundAndGagged:
** In "Uncle Grubby", when he's put on trial at M.A.V.O., he's chained up in court. He's then gagged so he can't defend himself because no M.A.V.O. trial is a fair one.
** In "Winter Adventure", Quellor's henchmen come to his tower and tie him up so they can get his gold formula. They skip the gag, though, because then he can't tell them what they want him to know.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: He often monograms his things with a big T for Tweeg.
* BuffySpeak: When he has some catapults built for war with the Gutangs, he calls them "springy things". When L.B. clarifies that they're called catapults, Tweeg thinks he's thinking of caterpillars.
* CaptivityHarmonica: Plays one after being thrown in the M.A.V.O. dungeon. After being fed up with being locked up, he throws it in frustration.
* CardCarryingVillain: Or card-carrying villain wannabe. In Grundo, villains usually refer to themselves as villains, including Tweeg.
* CatchYourDeathOfCold: After being caught in a sudden downpour in his burned-down house, his next scene has him sneezing under a blanket with his feet in hot water.
* TheChewToy: He never seems to stop being a source of comedic pain.
* ClassyCane: In some of his disguises, he dresses as a gentleman holding an old-fashioned cane.
* ClothingDamage: Notable for how it's accomplished. After accidentally blasting himself with the black box, the now mindless Tweeg wanders off from the Hard to Find City in a ditzy daze. Next time we see him, the collar of his robe is missing, the sleeves are in tatters, and his ankles are exposed due to the damage being out in the wild has done.
* ComplimentBackfire: Eleanor sets him up to fall for this. When she accuses him of calling her a liar, he denies that, but then, she gets offended by the notion that she's ''not'' a liar.
* ConMan: Swindling and cheating are explicitly in the M.A.V.O. list of required bad deeds. He does manage to do this in a couple of episodes, although he gets his comeuppance.
* ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his recipe for making gold out of buttermilk.
* CoolCrown: In a couple of {{Imagine Spot}}s, he fantasizes about wearing a royal crown. He actually gets one when he becomes the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O. for a while.
* CranialEruption: In "Thin Ice", when he opens the door while Mrs. Maggotheart is hammering a poster to it, she accidentally bops him on the head and gives him one.
* CreepyCrossdresser: He's a MasterOfDisguise, and a few of his disguises involve him dressing as a woman.
* CripplingTheCompetition: During a Grungeball game, when his team is losing bigtime, he tricks the Grunges into eating plants that give them awful stomachaches, and in Wizardweek, the only reason his team wins one event is he makes sure the other players can't get out of bed.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: His alleged gold recipe only ever comes out with buttermilk donuts. L.B. eventually figures out that he and the Bounders could make money if they started selling the donuts and only abandon the idea when L.B. thinks that the formula has worked. But even if selling donuts occurred to Tweeg, he probably wouldn't do it. Running an honest business wouldn't score any points with M.A.V.O.
* DastardlyWhiplash: Tweeg is known to wear a black outfit and moustache in his schemes, and is an {{Expy}} of Dick Dastardly.
* {{Determinator}}: You've got to give him credit. He sure doesn't give up his dream.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: After crossing a bridge during a race, Tweeg stopped to destroy it and even waited to see how the Wooly What's-It would cross it. And he wasn't even on the lead.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He does this all the time.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He decides to go to war against the Gutangs when their ambassador says that they can't afford the new subscription rate of ''True Villainy''.
* DisappearedDad: Well, sort of; Tweeg's father Elroy didn't so much "disappear" as he got divorced from (kicked out by) Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, who retained custody of their son. Tweeg knew he was still alive, but never met up with him until episode 61, "Father's Day"; they do get on very well, but, ultimately, Tweeg has too much of his mother in him and he ultimately leaves his dad in shame.
* DisguisedInDrag: Sometimes he disguises himself as a woman, including his first disguise ever in "In the Fortress of the Wizard".
* TheDoorSlamsYou: Another RunningGag. Eleanor did it in "Tweeg's Mom" and "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups",
* DoWrongRight: He pulls this on himself, knowing getting into M.A.V.O. means successfully filling a list of bad deeds. L.B. says that since he always fails at that, maybe he could try doing right wrong!
* DramaticDrop: In Wizardweek, while trying to make a magic potion, L.B. catches him by surprise and makes him drop and break the beaker.
* DrunkWithPower: After he becomes the Supreme Oppressor, he goes so mad with power that he actually declares war on the Gutangs. This time, he goes so far that L.B. betrays him and helps Quellor get back into power.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Tweeg desperately wants to be taken seriously as a villain, but nobody gives him even the slightest credit. Even his own minions mock him. To his ''face''.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: To Tweeg, anyway; his full name is actually Jack W. Tweeg. We never do find out what the "W" stands for, so it is possible he also has an EmbarrassingMiddleName.
* EmbarrassinglyPainfulSunburn: While lying on the beach in one episode, he ignores his father's advice to put on some lotion and gets a terrible sunburn on his nose.
* EmbodimentOfVice: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him in disguise, the Crystal says the trait he embodies is greed.
* EntertaininglyWrong: When he spies on the Trio, sees that they're cooking something with buttermilk and flour, and remembers how L.B., who is a jerk and a troublemaker to him, hasn't gotten any money from him in ages, he concludes that L.B. must have sold his gold recipe to Gimmick. The Trio are just baking cookies.
* EpicFlail: He tries to use a flail in "The Crystal Book", but he accidentally breaks his mother's mirror with it and drops it on his foot. So, EpicFail of Epic Flail.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Zig-zagged. He outright says that he loves her in "Tweeg's Mom". For the rest of the series, it's questionable whether what he feels for her is genuine love, although he still wants to make her proud.
* EvilGenius: He calls himself all the time, although the genius part is questionable at best.
* EvilIsPetty: He does all kinds of petty things, such as belittling his employees, refusing to thank people who help him, and not brushing his teeth. It's established in-universe that to be a proper villain, you have to do both major and minor bad deeds.
* EvilKnockoff: In "Win One for the Twipper", he becomes one for Newton Gimmick called Winston Tweeter, wearing the exact same outfit and even having the same stutter.
* EvilLaugh: He often does this when he's happy or thinks he's being clever.
* FaintInShock: At the end of his trial in "Double Grubby", M.A.V.O. gives him a second chance to complete his checklist, but to make sure he does it right, they assign L.B. as his supervisor, which makes him faint.
* FakingAmnesia: After getting his memory restored by the Black Box in "The Big Escape", he pretends to still have amnesia for a little while to take advantage of Eleanor and L.B.
* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: He actually manages to cheat Grundo's people out of a lot of money with his Rainbow Falls water scheme, but the Trio trick him into giving the money back by making thinking he'll be even richer.
* ForgotToMindTheirHead: While working his Wizardweek chariot, L.B. calls out to him, causing him to bump his head under the chariot.
* FreudianExcuse: Tweeg sings a song about how his mother always abused him as a child and made him into the rotten guy he is today.
* GetOut: Tells this to the Bounders when he thinks that L.B. leaked out his gold formula to the Trio.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Sometimes, L.B. will make a suggestion and Tweeg will pretend he thought of it himself, such as giving everyone the Tweezles and selling a fake cure in "The Lemonade Stand".
* GoldFever: If there's gold to be had, he's got to have it. He blows a lot of his money on buying buttermilk and flour because he thinks he has a recipe for turning it into gold.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Once, he lifts his robe to reveal orange boxers with white spots.
* GotMeDoingIt: In "In the Fortress of the Wizard" and "The Medicine Wagon", after hearing L.B. call him "Tweek" or "Tweeze" too many times, he accidentally calls himself that.
* GrapesOfLuxury: After he is declared the new Supreme Oppressor, the first thing he orders after having Quellor locked up is for Mrs. Maggotheart to peel grapes for him to eat.
* {{Greed}}: He'll do anything if it means getting rich. In "The Crystal Book", Gimmick's new invention the Crystal Stethoscope reveals that greed is a key trait of his.
* GreenAndMean: He's bright green and a villain. He gets it from his Troll mother.
* GreenEyedMonster: Tweeg's vendetta against Gimmick is solely due to the fact that Gimmick is a brilliant inventor and creates many marvelous inventions, whilst Tweeg's perpetual quest to create a formula that will turn buttermilk into gold has never succeeded.
* HairTriggerAvalanche: When he fires his cannon in the winter, the noise causes an avalanche that buries him and his tower.
* HarmlessLadyDisguise: For his first disguise in the show, he dresses as a little old lady and asks for their help. The Trio don't suspect the disguised Tweeg, though they admit that "she" is a little strange.
* HatesTheirParent: While he wants to make her proud, you can't call it affection. When he realizes his mother was in a dream he had, he calls it a nightmare.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: In "Father's Day", Tweeg actually considers giving up on villainy and committing to the Surf Grunge lifestyle he actively enjoys... but, upon seeing his father's championship winnings, he can't resist his mother's training and steals them. When his dad catches him out with them, Tweeg gives them back in shame at hurting his dad and then returns to his tower, resigning himself to villainy.
* HighHopesZeroTalent: All he really wants to be is a great villain like his mother, but since his talents come from his father's side, he's not very good at villainy.
* HiddenDepths: When reunited with his father, after being given an opportunity to practice, Tweeg turns out to be a natural surfer.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Often, it's his own fault that his schemes fail because he doesn't think things through. Once he tries to use the Black Box against Quellor, only to erase his own memories because he doesn't know how to aim it.
* {{Hypochondria}}: During the Tweezle episode, he turns red with blue spots. Okay, viable reason to think you're sick. But then he starts to think he's getting other symptoms that he never had like a fever. At the end of the episode, he and the Trio sing a song about how your attitude can affect how healthy you feel.
* IAmSong: "The Black Box", he sings "I'm Tweeg" which is basically him singing about what his name is and the proper way to say it. The next episode, he gets another called "I'm the Supreme Oppressor".
* ICantLookGesture: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge ransack his tower looking for the gold formula, he scrunches his eyes and tries to look away.
* IHaveYourWife: He kidnaps Fuzz, Gimmick's pet Fob, and leaves a threatening note saying that if the Trio don't leave the valley by sundown, they'll never see him again.
* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: When he sees the result of Gimmick PalatePropping L.B., he complains, "Why am I always pulling things out of your mouth? I'm a villain, not a dentist."
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: He's not called the world's worst shot for nothing. He's so terrible at aiming his cannon that Gimmick outright states the safest place to be when Tweeg starts shooting is right where he's aiming for. He's even taken to writing "return to Tweeg" on all his cannonballs because he loses that many of them.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: For all his antagonistic role, Tweeg just... isn't a very good villain. Even InUniverse, his "enemies" see him as more of a nuisance than an actual threat. Episode 61 actually implies Tweeg would really be happier if he gave villainy up, but he can't think of anything else to do with himself.
* InaneBlabbering: After he has his memories erased, he can only babble at first. He's gradually able to speak coherently, but he still knows nothing until his memories are returned.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", Tweeg comes to the conclusion that since snowballs are sparkly, and so are the Crystals, this means the Crystals are made of snow.
* InsistentTerminology: In "The Crystal Book", he tells his mother he's not whining. He's whimpering.
* InsultBackfire: When Bognostroclum pulls a BaitAndSwitchComment that ends with insulting him, Tweeg responds that he has no time for flattery. And during the Wizardweek parade, when the crowd boos Tweeg, he takes it to mean they love him.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Tweeg hates the fact that M.A.V.O. has been hunting him like a common villain. Because he's not common, he's a ''master'' villain!
* TheKlutz: He's a real bungler in what he does and tends to be a victim of amusing injuries.
* LadiesAndGerms: He introduces his phony rainmaking machine by saying "Illipers and Perloons, Grundonians and Nogburtniks".
* LampshadeWearing: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", after he sneaks into Gimmick's house, he puts on a lampshade and pretends to be a lamp so he won't be noticed.
* LastNameBasis: Everyone calls him Tweeg. In fact, even his own parents don't call him Jack, though they often affectionately call him Tweegie.
* LateToTheRealization: Sometimes he takes a minute to realize something. For example, in the live-action special, L.B. has to tell him multiple times while he's busy feeling sorry for himself that the Airship is landing.
* LeanAndMean: He's tall, thin, and villainous.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he tricks the Elves and the Woodsprites into fighting, since the M.A.V.O. list of bad deeds includes starting a fight between perfectly good friends. He tries it again between Gimmick and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups", but Teddy solves the disagreement quickly.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Inverted. Not only does he prefer to take after his mother, but he also goes by her last name. Grunges don't have last names, though, so Elroy took Eleanor's when they married.
* LiteralMinded: When Louie visits Tweeg's lemonade stand, he orders a lemonade "on the rocks". Tweeg shrugs and dumps some lemonade on the ground.
* LivingMuseumExhibit: The Sorcerer's minions find him without his memory and deliver him to their boss, who presents him as "The Troll-Grunge with No Brain."
* LyingFingerCross: In "Wizardweek", when Teddy wishes him good luck, he crosses his fingers behind his back while he wishes him the same.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Not only does L.B. do it to Tweeg, Tweeg also does it to Teddy, calling him such names as "Teddy Dustbin" or "Teddy Rucksack".
* ManipulativeBastard: He can be this when he wants to be. He manages to manipulate the Mudblup King into letting him go by making the king think Eleanor will marry the king, and later manipulates Quellor into letting him keep his memory in exchange for the (fake) gold formula.
* MathematiciansAnswer: When Quellor asks if he acquired the Crystals by stealing or treachery, Tweeg just gives a nervous "Yes." Quellor is pleased with this answer.
* MedicineShow: In "The Medicine Wagon", he opens one to sell his phony Tweezle remedy, even getting the Bounders to do a song and dance number like a commercial.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: It's never revealed what the W stands for.
* NeverMyFault: Whenever one of his plans doesn't work, he insists that it must be L.B.'s fault.
* NoListeningSkills: He never listens to L.B. has a helpful suggestion and just brushes off L.B.'s warning that things will go wrong.
* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, is a Troll, whilst his father, Elroy, is a Surf Grunge.
* NonPromotion: Eleanor, in a rare moment of kindness, recommends Tweeg for the new keeper of the gate. Tweeg is thrilled at first because it means he's an important member of M.A.V.O. but comes to hate it when he realizes how much work it involves.
* NoSenseOfDirection: When he and L.B. fall from the ''Eclipse'' and land in the water, he insists that they're swimming in the right direction to land. The shore is right behind them without them even knowing it.
* NosyNeighbor: He's always using his telescope to spy on Gimmick's house from up in his tower, thinking that Gimmick is up to something.
* NotQuiteDead: After the ''Eclipse'' sinks into the water, Quellor wonders if Tweeg went down with it. The next scene is a shot of him and L.B. swimming away.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Although he never succeeds at doing anything too villainous, Tweeg also has a fairly ruthless streak. He actually ''sold his own mother'' to the Mudblup King as a bride in return for a trunk full of gems[[note]]although he knew the King was in love with his mother, and she herself was willing to go along with it once Tweeg thought to bribe her[[/note]], and once abducted Gimmick's pet Fob, Fuzz, in order to blackmail Gimmick into leaving the valley.
* OldTimeyBathingSuit: He wears a blue-and-yellow-striped one in "Air and Water Races".
* OpportunisticBastard: He loves to seize any opportunity that pops up to get rich or commit an evil deed. Unfortunately, he doesn't think long-term, just focusing on the opportunity itself, so it rarely goes well.
* TheParanoiac: He's got more than enough criteria to count:
** NeverMyFault: He blame others, mostly L.B., when one of his plans goes wrong while [[GladIThoughtOfIt taking credit for L.B.'s good ideas]].
** [[JadeColoredGlasses Suspiciousness / Cynicism]]: He's very suspicious of the Trio, assumes that they're out to get him, and believes that he has to lie and cheat to get what he wants.
** {{Jerkass}}: He rarely cares about anyone but himself.
** [[{{Narcissist}} Self-Importance]]: He thinks he's a genius and that it's his destiny to be the richest and greatest villain in Grundo.
** ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his gold formula.
* PatchworkKids: He's half-Troll, half-Grunge and looks it. He has the tall, humanoid build of a Grunge but has his mother's green Troll skin. And while he follows his mother's morality, he gets his father's talents.
* PieInTheFace: When M.A.V.O. finally gets the Crystals, the monsters are so happy that they have fun throwing pies around the meeting room. One hits Tweeg.
* PlotAllergy: Complains when he gets covered in strawberry juice that strawberries give him a rash.
* PolkaDotDisease: Subverted. He wakes up one morning having turned red with blue dots all over and thinks he has this. L.B. calls the condition the Tweezles. After the Trio try to help him, they figure it out that skin only changed because he drank Rainbow Falls water.
* PowderGag: In "Double Grubby", when his cannon misfires, the ball lands on the flour bag L.B. stole and leaves him covered with flour. It makes him look like an Illiop.
* ThePrankster: He turns into one in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball". When forced to greet party guests at the door, he does so with practical jokes. Apparently, M.A.V.O.'s spell of evil even made him be a better bad guy.
* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: He wears a dark purple robe. The ambiguity of purple is fitting for a guy who [[EvilWearsBlack wants to be a villain]] but [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain never quite makes it]].
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: This sometimes happens him when he fires his cannon. Since he lives at the top of a tower, he's prone to riding his cannon backwards down his long spiral staircase.
* RemovingTheRival: One of his favorite tactics in a competition is this. During a Grungeball game, he gives some of the other team a stomachache, allowing his own team to catch up, and in Wizardweek, the only event his team won was the synchronized swimming because he sabotaged all the other teams.
* ReplacedWithReplica: In "Winter Adventure", the Bounders help him escape Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge by replacing him with a dummy.
* TheRival: He sees his relationship with Gimmick as this, though they play it straighter during sporting events when they compete against each other.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: He's green and wears purple. At one point, it's revealed that he wears orange underwear, completing the set.
* ShamedByAMob: [[spoiler:After L.B. gives his wedding vows to Buffy]], Tweeg says, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." The guests glare at him angrily.
* SharpDressedMan: Some of his disguises have him dressed in a suit and tie to look like a respectable businessman.
* SissyVillain: He's really skinny, crossdresses multiple times in the series, and has a voice that sounds like it never aged properly.
* SlipperySkid: In "King Nogburt's Castle", he runs onto his balcony, steps on one of his cannonballs, and rolls and crashes right through his railing.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He calls himself an EvilGenius, but he's not nearly as smart (or for that matter as evil) as he thinks he is. The times when he actually knows what he's doing in his schemes are few and far between.
* SmugSnake: A villain who thinks he's way better than he really is. He often looks smug until his plans turn sideways.
* SnakeOilSalesman: One of his favorite ways to get quick cash, either by selling dubious knickknacks imagined problems or a largely harmless "cure-all" potion that gives its drinkers spots.
* SodaCanShakeup: After stealing Grubby's root beer recipe and selling it as "Villain Up", the customers want a little more fizz. So shakes a whole barrel of it as much as he can, and it explodes, splashing everyone.
* SpeechImpediment: When dressed as a little boy selling lemonade, he uses a fake impediment to make him sound more childish, somewhere between a mild lisp and mild ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
* StaircaseTumble: He's prone to falling down his staircase. And since he lives at the top of the tower with a long, spiraling stone staircase, it's a long and painful fall.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Any time he looks like he's going to succeed doesn't last long. At one point, he becomes Supreme Oppressor, only to lose the spot by the end of the next episode.
* StickyFingers: Stealing is one of the things he has to do to join M.A.V.O. When he visits his mother and she opens her safe, he snatches a ruby. She catches him in the act but comments that he's got the right idea.
* StupidestThingIveEverHeard: He says just this about [[spoiler:L.B.'s wedding vows to Buffy]], which are really just a piece of bad poetry. The other guests give Tweeg a DeathGlare.
* SurferDude: He tries to adopt this lifestyle to bond with his father and picks up the slang quickly, although he eventually goes back to being a villain.
* TakingCandyFromABaby: This is on the checklist of bad deeds for someone who wants to join M.A.V.O. He even forces L.B. to stand in for a baby for practice. At one point, he does steal candy from baby Fobs, but Wooly was there at the time and angrily forces him to give it back.

* TheUnFavourite: He's actually an only child, and he still manages to be this in his mother's eyes.
* UngratefulBastard: One episode had Tweeg believing he had some horrible disease. The Trio, at L.B.'s request, came to the tower to help and offered folk remedies. Finally, Gimmick figured out that Tweeg had been drinking water from Rainbow Falls. Rather than be thankful his "disease" is just a temporary discoloration, Tweeg throws a fit, demanding Gimmick and company leave his tower and accusing them of using this as an opportunity to torture him and learn his secrets.
* WalkingDisasterArea: He's such a bungler that you can count episodes where he doesn't cause disaster on one hand.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Part of the reason Tweeg is driven to become a great villain is to make his mother proud. Even little things like hearing her call him "son" fill him with joy.

* AintTooProudToBeg: On several occasions, he's willing to get down on the floor and beg Quellor or his mother to have mercy.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: When Tweeg zaps himself by the Black Box, he doesn't act villainous anymore.

* BaitAndSwitchComment: He does this twice in "The Great Grundo Ground Race". Before the race starts, he says, "I've never challenged Mummy before. I'm afraid it might upset her." [...] "Upset her when I leave her sucking dust at the finish line!" Later, when L.B. helps him escape the capture of Quellor's henchmen, he says, "I never thought I'd thank you for anything, L.B." [...] "So I won't."
* BalconyEscape: He climbs out his window down his balcony at one point, so he won't have to face Mrs. Maggotheart when she comes over. The rope breaks.
* BaldOfEvil: He's a villain who's bald. It's not clear why. Both his parents have a head full of hair, yet a cross between their races doesn't.

* BigDamnReunion: [[spoiler:In "Father's Day", he reunites with his father when his father comesWizard forgot to meet him.]]
* BlankSlate: After he's had his memory erased by the Black Box, he is left with no thoughts and no personality. When Gimmick tries to use the Crystal Stethoscope on him, it doesn't register any personality traits at all.

* BlowingARaspberry: In the Wizardweek ground race, after the Elves and Woodsprites fix his sabotage, he blows them one in frustration.
* {{Bouncer}}: During L.B.'s reign as Supreme Oppressor, he becomes the new gatekeeper and is forced to deal with the riffraff of monsters that try to come in.
* BoundAndGagged:
** In "Uncle Grubby", when he's put on trial at M.A.V.O., he's chained up in court. He's then gagged so he can't defend himself because no M.A.V.O. trial is a fair one.
** In "Winter Adventure", Quellor's henchmen come to his tower and tiebuy him up so they can get his gold formula. They skip the gag, though, because then he can't tell them what they want him to know.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: He often monograms his things witha big T for Tweeg.

* CaptivityHarmonica: Plays one after being thrown in the M.A.V.O. dungeon. After being fed up with being locked up, he throws it in frustration.

* TheChewToy: He never seems to stop being a source of comedic pain.present.
*ClassyCane: In some IntrepidReporter: While Louie works for a wizard instead of his disguises, the press, he dresses as a gentleman holding otherwise acts like an old-fashioned cane.
* ClothingDamage: Notable for how it's accomplished. After accidentally blasting himself with the black box, the now mindless Tweeg wanders off from the Hard to Find City in a ditzy daze. Next time we see him, the collar of his robe is missing, the sleeves are in tatters,news reporter, adventuring out and his ankles are exposed due to the damage being out in the wild has done.
* ComplimentBackfire: Eleanor sets him up to fall for this. When she accuses himgetting footage of calling her a liar, he denies that, but then, she gets offended by the notion that she's ''not'' a liar.

* ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his recipe for making gold out of buttermilk.
* CoolCrown: In a couple of {{Imagine Spot}}s, he fantasizes about wearing a royal crown. He actually gets one{{Leitmotif}}: A slow, old-fashioned sounding bluesy piece plays when he becomes the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O. for a while.

* CreepyCrossdresser: He's a MasterOfDisguise, and a few of his disguises involve him dressing as a woman.
* CripplingTheCompetition: During a Grungeball game, when his team is losing bigtime, he tricks theMySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Most Grunges into eating plants are wild, fun-loving party animals who don't do a lot of work. Louie is more serious and focused on his job.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Louie points out how the Wizard and the Sorcerer, as much as they hate each other, are alike in thatgive them awful stomachaches, they'll both do anything for money.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: After Wizardland falls apart andin Wizardweek, leaves the only reason Wizard broke, Louie suggests throwing a party to cheer him up, and they could invite his team wins one event is he makes sure the other players can't get out of bed.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: His alleged gold recipe only ever comes out with buttermilk donuts. L.B. eventually figures outbrother. He realizes too late that he and the Bounders could make money if they started selling the donuts and only abandon the idea shouldn't have said that last part when L.B. thinks the Wizard gets depressed again.
* ServileSnarker: He sometimes copes with his job as the Wizard's put-upon assistant by making snarky remarks.
* ThoseMagnificentFlyingMachines: He rides around on a pedal-powered helicopter thatthe formula has worked. But even if selling donuts occurred to Tweeg, he probably wouldn't do it. Running an honest business wouldn't score any points with M.A.V.O.
can carry huge loads.
*DastardlyWhiplash: Tweeg is known to wear a black outfit and moustache in his schemes, and is an {{Expy}} of Dick Dastardly.
* {{Determinator}}: You've got to give him credit. He sure doesn't give up his dream.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: After crossing a bridge during a race, Tweeg stopped to destroy it and even waited to see how the Wooly What's-It would cross it. And he wasn't even on the lead.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He does this all the time.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He decides to go to war against the Gutangs when their ambassador says that they can't afford the new subscription rate of ''True Villainy''.
* DisappearedDad: Well, sort of; Tweeg's father Elroy didn't so much "disappear" as he got divorcedUnstoppableMailman: Apart from (kicked out by) Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, who retained custody of their son. Tweeg knew he was still alive, but never met up with him until episode 61, "Father's Day"; they do get on very well, but, ultimately, Tweeg has too much of his mother in him and he ultimately leaves his dad in shame.
* DisguisedInDrag: Sometimes he disguises himself as a woman, including his first disguise ever in "In the Fortress of the Wizard".
* TheDoorSlamsYou: Another RunningGag. Eleanor did it in "Tweeg's Mom" and "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups",
* DoWrongRight: He pulls this on himself, knowing getting into M.A.V.O. means successfully filling a list of bad deeds. L.B. says that since he always fails at that, maybe he could try doing right wrong!
* DramaticDrop: In Wizardweek, while trying to make a magic potion, L.B. catches him by surprise and makes him drop and break the beaker.
* DrunkWithPower: After he becomes the Supreme Oppressor, he goes so mad with power that he actually declares war on the Gutangs. This time, he goes so far that L.B. betrays him and helps Quellor get back into power.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Tweeg desperately wants to be taken seriously as a villain, but nobody gives him even the slightest credit. Even his own minions mock him. To his ''face''.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: To Tweeg, anyway; his full name is actually Jack W. Tweeg. We never do find out what the "W" stands for, so it is possible he also has an EmbarrassingMiddleName.
* EmbarrassinglyPainfulSunburn: While lying on the beach in one episode, he ignores his father's advice to put on some lotion and gets a terrible sunburn on his nose.
* EmbodimentOfVice: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him in disguise, the Crystal says the trait he embodies is greed.
* EntertaininglyWrong: When he spies on the Trio, sees that they're cooking something with buttermilk and flour, and remembers how L.B., who is a jerk and a troublemaker to him, hasn't gotten any money from him in ages, he concludes that L.B. must have sold his gold recipe to Gimmick. The Trio are just baking cookies.
* EpicFlail: He tries to use a flail in "The Crystal Book", but he accidentally breaks his mother's mirror with it and drops it on his foot. So, EpicFail of Epic Flail.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Zig-zagged. He outright says that he loves her in "Tweeg's Mom". For the rest of the series, it's questionable whether what he feels for her is genuine love, although he still wants to make her proud.
* EvilGenius: He calls himself all the time, although the genius part is questionable at best.
* EvilIsPetty: He does all kinds of petty things, such as belittling his employees, refusing to thank people who help him, and not brushing his teeth. It's established in-universe that to be a proper villain, you have to do both major and minor bad deeds.
* EvilKnockoff: In "Win Onejob for the Twipper", he becomes one for Newton Gimmick called Winston Tweeter, wearing the exact same outfit and even having the same stutter.
* EvilLaugh: He often does this when he's happy or thinks he's being clever.
* FaintInShock: At the end of his trial in "Double Grubby", M.A.V.O. gives him a second chance to complete his checklist, but to make sure he does it right, they assign L.B. as his supervisor, which makes him faint.
* FakingAmnesia: After getting his memory restored by the Black Box in "The Big Escape", he pretends to still have amnesia for a little while to take advantage of Eleanor and L.B.
* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: He actually manages to cheatWizard, Louie is also Grundo's people out of a lot of money with his Rainbow Falls water scheme, but the Trio trick him into giving the money back by making thinking he'll be even richer.
* ForgotToMindTheirHead: While working his Wizardweek chariot, L.B. calls out to him, causing him to bump his head under the chariot.
* FreudianExcuse: Tweeg sings a song about how his mother always abused him as a child and made him into the rotten guy he is today.
* GetOut: Tells this to the Bounders when he thinks that L.B. leaked out his gold formula to the Trio.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Sometimes, L.B. will make a suggestion and Tweeg will pretend he thought of it himself, such as giving everyone the Tweezles and selling a fake cure in "The Lemonade Stand".
* GoldFever: If there's gold to be had, he's got to have it. He blows a lot of his money on buying buttermilk and flour because he thinks he has a recipe for turning it into gold.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Once, he lifts his robe to reveal orange boxers with white spots.
* GotMeDoingIt: In "In the Fortress of the Wizard" and "The Medicine Wagon", after hearing L.B. call him "Tweek" or "Tweeze" too many times, he accidentally calls himself that.
* GrapesOfLuxury: After he is declared the new Supreme Oppressor, the first thing he orders after having Quellor locked up is for Mrs. Maggotheart to peel grapes for him to eat.
* {{Greed}}: He'll do anything if it means getting rich. In "The Crystal Book", Gimmick's new invention the Crystal Stethoscope reveals that greed is a key trait of his.
* GreenAndMean: He's bright green and a villain. He gets it from his Troll mother.
* GreenEyedMonster: Tweeg's vendetta against Gimmick is solely due to the fact that Gimmick is a brilliant inventor and creates many marvelous inventions, whilst Tweeg's perpetual quest to create a formula that will turn buttermilk into gold has never succeeded.
* HairTriggerAvalanche: When he fires his cannon in the winter, the noise causes an avalanche that buries him and his tower.
* HarmlessLadyDisguise: For his first disguise in the show, he dresses as a little old lady and asks for their help. The Trio don't suspect the disguised Tweeg, though they admit that "she" is a little strange.
* HatesTheirParent: While he wants to make her proud, you can't call it affection. When he realizes his mother was in a dream he had, he calls it a nightmare.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: In "Father's Day", Tweeg actually considers giving up on villainy and committing to the Surf Grunge lifestyle he actively enjoys... but, upon seeing his father's championship winnings, he can't resist his mother's training and steals them. When his dad catches him out with them, Tweeg gives them back in shame at hurting his dad and then returnsmail carrier. Thanks to his tower, resigning himself to villainy.
* HighHopesZeroTalent: All he really wants to be is a great villain like his mother, but since his talents come from his father's side, he's not very good at villainy.
* HiddenDepths: When reunited with his father, after being given an opportunity to practice, Tweeg turns out to be a natural surfer.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Often, it's his own fault that his schemes fail because he doesn't think things through. Once he tries to use the Black Box against Quellor, only to erase his own memories because he doesn't know how to aim it.
* {{Hypochondria}}: During the Tweezle episode, he turns red with blue spots. Okay, viable reason to think you're sick. But then he starts to think he's getting other symptoms that he never had like a fever. At the end of the episode, he and the Trio sing a song about how your attitude can affect how healthy you feel.
* IAmSong: "The Black Box", he sings "I'm Tweeg" which is basically him singing about what his name is and the proper way to say it. The next episode, he gets another called "I'm the Supreme Oppressor".
* ICantLookGesture: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge ransack his tower looking for the gold formula, he scrunches his eyes and tries to look away.
* IHaveYourWife: He kidnaps Fuzz, Gimmick's pet Fob, and leaves a threatening note saying that if the Trio don't leave the valley by sundown, they'll never see him again.
* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: When he sees the result of Gimmick PalatePropping L.B., he complains, "Why am I always pulling things out of your mouth? I'm a villain, not a dentist."
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: He's not called the world's worst shot for nothing. He's so terrible at aiming his cannon that Gimmick outright states the safest place to be when Tweeg starts shooting is right where he's aiming for. He's even taken to writing "return to Tweeg" on all his cannonballs because he loses that many of them.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: For all his antagonistic role, Tweeg just... isn't a very good villain. Even InUniverse, his "enemies" see him as more of a nuisance than an actual threat. Episode 61 actually implies Tweeg would really be happier if he gave villainy up, but he can't think of anything else to do with himself.
* InaneBlabbering: After he has his memories erased,helicopter, he can only babble at first. He's gradually able to speak coherently, but he still knows nothing until his memories are returned.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", Tweeg comes to the conclusion that since snowballs are sparkly, and so are the Crystals, this means the Crystals are made of snow.
* InsistentTerminology: In "The Crystal Book", he tells his mother he's not whining. He's whimpering.
* InsultBackfire: When Bognostroclum pulls a BaitAndSwitchComment that ends with insulting him, Tweeg responds that he has no time for flattery. And during the Wizardweek parade, when the crowd boos Tweeg, he takes it to mean they love him.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Tweeg hates the fact that M.A.V.O. has been hunting him like a common villain. Because he's not common, he's a ''master'' villain!
* TheKlutz: He's a real bungler in what he does and tends to be a victim of amusing injuries.
* LadiesAndGerms: He introduces his phony rainmaking machine by saying "Illipers and Perloons, Grundonians and Nogburtniks".
* LampshadeWearing: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", after he sneaks into Gimmick's house, he puts on a lampshade and pretends to be a lamp so he won't be noticed.
* LastNameBasis: Everyone calls him Tweeg. In fact, even his own parents don't call him Jack, though they often affectionately call him Tweegie.
* LateToTheRealization: Sometimes he takes a minute to realize something. For example, in the live-action special, L.B. has to tell him multiple times while he's busy feeling sorry for himself that the Airship is landing.
* LeanAndMean: He's tall, thin, and villainous.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he tricks the Elves and the Woodsprites into fighting, since the M.A.V.O. list of bad deeds includes starting a fight between perfectly good friends. He tries it again between Gimmick and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups", but Teddy solves the disagreement quickly.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Inverted. Not only does he prefer to take after his mother, but he also goes by her last name. Grunges don't have last names, though, so Elroy took Eleanor's when they married.
* LiteralMinded: When Louie visits Tweeg's lemonade stand, he orders a lemonade "on the rocks". Tweeg shrugs and dumps some lemonade on the ground.
* LivingMuseumExhibit: The Sorcerer's minions find him without his memory and deliver him to their boss, who presents him as "The Troll-Grunge with No Brain."
* LyingFingerCross: In "Wizardweek", when Teddy wishes him good luck, he crosses his fingers behind his back while he wishes him the same.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Not only does L.B. do it to Tweeg, Tweeg also does it to Teddy, calling him such names as "Teddy Dustbin" or "Teddy Rucksack".
* ManipulativeBastard: He can be this when he wants to be. He manages to manipulate the Mudblup King into letting him go by making the king think Eleanor will marry the king, and later manipulates Quellor into letting him keep his memory in exchange for the (fake) gold formula.
* MathematiciansAnswer: When Quellor asks if he acquired the Crystals by stealing or treachery, Tweeg just gives a nervous "Yes." Quellor is pleased with this answer.
* MedicineShow: In "The Medicine Wagon", he opens one to sell his phony Tweezle remedy, even getting the Bounders to do a song and dance number like a commercial.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: It's never revealed what the W stands for.
* NeverMyFault: Whenever one of his plans doesn't work, he insists that it must be L.B.'s fault.
* NoListeningSkills: He never listens to L.B. has a helpful suggestion and just brushes off L.B.'s warning that things will go wrong.
* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, is a Troll, whilst his father, Elroy, is a Surf Grunge.
* NonPromotion: Eleanor, in a rare moment of kindness, recommends Tweeg for the new keeper of the gate. Tweeg is thrilled at first because it means he's an important member of M.A.V.O. but comes to hate it when he realizes how much work it involves.
* NoSenseOfDirection: When he and L.B. fall from the ''Eclipse'' and land in the water, he insists that they're swimming in the right direction to land. The shore is right behind them without them even knowing it.
* NosyNeighbor: He's always using his telescope to spy on Gimmick's house from up in his tower, thinking that Gimmick is up to something.
* NotQuiteDead: After the ''Eclipse'' sinks into the water, Quellor wonders if Tweeg went down with it. The next scene is a shot of him and L.B. swimming away.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Although he never succeeds at doing anything too villainous, Tweeg also has a fairly ruthless streak. He actually ''sold his own mother'' to the Mudblup King as a bride in return for a trunk full of gems[[note]]although he knew the King was in love with his mother, and she herself was willing to go along with it once Tweeg thought to bribe her[[/note]], and once abducted Gimmick's pet Fob, Fuzz, in order to blackmail Gimmick into leaving the valley.
* OldTimeyBathingSuit: He wears a blue-and-yellow-striped one in "Air and Water Races".
* OpportunisticBastard: He loves to seizeget any opportunity that pops up mail to get rich or commit an evil deed. Unfortunately, he doesn't think long-term, just focusing on the opportunity itself, so it rarely goes well.
* TheParanoiac: He's got more than enough criteria to count:
** NeverMyFault: He blame others, mostly L.B., when one of his plans goes wrong while [[GladIThoughtOfIt taking credit for L.B.'s good ideas]].
** [[JadeColoredGlasses Suspiciousness / Cynicism]]: He's very suspicious of the Trio, assumes that they're out to get him, and believes that he has to lie and cheat to get what he wants.

** ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his gold formula.
* PatchworkKids: He's half-Troll, half-Grunge and looks it. He has the tall, humanoid build of a Grunge but has his mother's green Troll skin. And while he follows his mother's morality, he gets his father's talents.
* PieInTheFace: When M.A.V.O. finally gets the Crystals, the monsters are so happy that they have fun throwing pies around the meeting room. One hits Tweeg.
* PlotAllergy: Complains when he gets covered in strawberry juice that strawberries give him a rash.
* PolkaDotDisease: Subverted. He wakes up one morning having turned red with blue dots all over and thinks he has this. L.B. calls the condition the Tweezles. After the Trio try to help him, they figure it out that skin only changed because he drank Rainbow Falls water.
* PowderGag: In "Double Grubby", when his cannon misfires, the ball lands on the flour bag L.B. stole and leaves him covered with flour. It makes him look like an Illiop.
* ThePrankster: He turns into one in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball". When forced to greet party guests at the door, he does so with practical jokes. Apparently, M.A.V.O.'s spell of evil even made him be a better bad guy.
* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: He wears a dark purple robe. The ambiguity of purple is fitting for a guy who [[EvilWearsBlack wants to be a villain]] but [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain never quite makes it]].
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: This sometimes happens him when he fires his cannon. Since he lives at the top of a tower, he's prone to riding his cannon backwards down his long spiral staircase.
* RemovingTheRival: One of his favorite tactics in a competition is this. During a Grungeball game, he gives some of the other team a stomachache, allowing his own team to catch up, and in Wizardweek, the only event his team won was the synchronized swimming because he sabotaged all the other teams.
* ReplacedWithReplica: In "Winter Adventure", the Bounders help him escape Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge by replacing him with a dummy.
* TheRival: He sees his relationship with Gimmick as this, though they play it straighter during sporting events when they compete against each other.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: He's green and wears purple. At one point, it's revealed that he wears orange underwear, completing the set.
* ShamedByAMob: [[spoiler:After L.B. gives his wedding vows to Buffy]], Tweeg says, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." The guests glare at him angrily.
* SharpDressedMan: Some of his disguises have him dressed in a suit and tie to look like a respectable businessman.
* SissyVillain: He's really skinny, crossdresses multiple times in the series, and has a voice that sounds like it never aged properly.
* SlipperySkid: In "King Nogburt's Castle", he runs onto his balcony, steps on one of his cannonballs, and rolls and crashes right through his railing.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He calls himself an EvilGenius, but he's not nearly as smart (or for that matter as evil) as he thinks he is. The times when he actually knows what he's doing in his schemes are few and far between.
* SmugSnake: A villain who thinks he's way better than he really is. He often looks smug until his plans turn sideways.
* SnakeOilSalesman: One of his favorite ways to get quick cash, either by selling dubious knickknacks imagined problems or a largely harmless "cure-all" potion that gives its drinkers spots.
* SodaCanShakeup: After stealing Grubby's root beer recipe and selling it as "Villain Up", the customers want a little more fizz. So shakes a whole barrel of it as much as he can, and it explodes, splashing everyone.
* SpeechImpediment: When dressed as a little boy selling lemonade, he uses a fake impediment to make him sound more childish, somewhere between a mild lisp and mild ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
* StaircaseTumble: He's prone to falling down his staircase. And since he lives at the top of the tower with a long, spiraling stone staircase, it's a long and painful fall.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Any time he looks like he's going to succeed doesn't last long. At one point, he becomes Supreme Oppressor, only to lose the spot by the end of the next episode.
* StickyFingers: Stealing is one of the things he has to do to join M.A.V.O. When he visits his mother and she opens her safe, he snatches a ruby. She catches him in the act but comments that he's got the right idea.
* StupidestThingIveEverHeard: He says just this about [[spoiler:L.B.'s wedding vows to Buffy]], which are really just a piece of bad poetry. The other guests give Tweeg a DeathGlare.
* SurferDude: He tries to adopt this lifestyle to bond with his father and picks up the slang quickly, although he eventually goes back to being a villain.
* TakingCandyFromABaby: This is on the checklist of bad deeds for someone who wants to join M.A.V.O. He even forces L.B. to stand in for a baby for practice. At one point, he does steal candy from baby Fobs, but Wooly was there at the time and angrily forces him to give it back.
* TallyMarksOnThePrisonWall: While locked up in "Autumn Adventure". It's parodied because he's actually marking off the minutes.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Apart from the Rainbow Falls lemonade fiasco, he hides a special plant that causes a belly ache in some hot dogs and tricks the Grunges into eating them.
* TemptingFate: In "Beware of the Mudblups", he swears he'll get the best of Gimmick one day. "May I be struck from above if I don't." He immediately gets struck by some root stew that was dumped overboard the Airship.

* ThatsAnOrder: When he forces L.B. to scrape the slime off the bottom of the ''Eclipse'', he says that he's ordering and not asking him to do it.
* ThisMeansWar: During his brief reign as the Supreme Oppressor, he says this to the Gutang Ambassador.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Despite his many failures, occasionally, he manages to actually do something nasty that works. In "Teddy and the Mudblups", he sells out his own mother to the Mudblup King, which is a triple whammy for his checklist of bad deeds.
* TrappedTheWrongTarget: When he finds out that there's a reward for capturing Teddy, he tries to find him with a net. He hears someone coming and catches L.B. by mistake.
* TheUnFavourite: He's actually an only child, and he still manages to be this in his mother's eyes.
* UngratefulBastard: One episode had Tweeg believing he had some horrible disease. The Trio, at L.B.'s request, came to the tower to help and offered folk remedies. Finally, Gimmick figured out that Tweeg had been drinking water from Rainbow Falls. Rather than be thankful his "disease" is just a temporary discoloration, Tweeg throws a fit, demanding Gimmick and company leave his tower and accusing them of using this as an opportunity to torture him and learn his secrets.
* WalkingDisasterArea: He's such a bungler that you can count episodes where he doesn't cause disaster on one hand.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Part of the reason Tweeg is driven to become a great villain is to make his mother proud. Even little things like hearing her call him "son" fill him with joy.
* WhosLaughingNow: When he briefly becomes the new Supreme Oppressor, he basks in it by getting back at others, throwing Quellor in the dungeon and forcing Mrs. Maggotheart to feed him GrapesOfLuxury.
* WingdingEyes: After he has his memory erased, he has spirals or circles around his pupils.
* WordSchmord: In "The Black Box", Tweeg says "Screwdriver Schmewdriver" because what L.B. stole is more important than the tool he needed before.
* XanatosSpeedChess: When he quickly changes their cover from portrait painters to housepainters to infiltrate the castle, he explains to L.B. that part of being a good villain is adjusting your plans.
* YoureInsane: When M.A.V.O. is short on funds and Mrs. Maggotheart suggests selling M.A.V.O.'s gold and jewels, then-Supreme Oppressor Tweeg calls her a nut.Grundo.
* TheAnnouncer: He takes the role of announcer at a Grungeball game and during Wizardweek.
* AscendedExtra: He and the Wizard appear more in the cartoon than in the books and have major roles in some episodes.

* ExtraExtraReadAllAboutIt: One of his
*

* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: When Tweeg zaps himself by the Black Box, he doesn't act villainous anymore.
* AmusingInjuries: Tweeg falls victim to a lot of these. Sometimes he's HoistByHisOwnPetard, sometimes L.B. puts it on him, and sometimes things just happen.
* AmusinglyAwfulAim: Tweeg regularly bombards Newton Gimmick's house with a cannon from his tower. However, Tweeg's aim is so bad that there is a neat, clean ring of cannonballs all around Newton's house.
* AnythingButThat: The worst possible fate imaginable to him is being locked in a room with the M.A.V.O. dues collector.
* BaitAndSwitchComment: He does this twice in "The Great Grundo Ground Race". Before the race starts, he says, "I've never challenged Mummy before. I'm afraid it might upset her." [...] "Upset her when I leave her sucking dust at the finish line!" Later, when L.B. helps him escape the capture of Quellor's henchmen, he says, "I never thought I'd thank you for anything, L.B." [...] "So I won't."
* BalconyEscape: He climbs out his window down his balcony at one point, so he won't have to face Mrs. Maggotheart when she comes over. The rope breaks.
* BaldOfEvil: He's a villain who's bald. It's not clear why. Both his parents have a head full of hair, yet a cross between their races doesn't.
* BareHandedPuppetry: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he dresses his hand as an Elf named Tweegle and draws on a face so he can cause trouble in the Elf and Woodsprite Village.
* BecauseISaidSo: His usual response when L.B. asks why he has to do a certain task.
* BerserkButton: Cannot ''stand it'' when people mess up his name. Of course, L.B. loves to deliberately do this just for kicks.
* BetrayalByOffspring: He sells his own mother out to the Mudblup King so he and L.B. can escape from prison.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite his status as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, Tweeg has twice nearly managed to start a war; once between the formerly friendly Elves and Woodsprites, and again between M.A.V.O. and the Gutangs. His actions were only stopped at the
* BigBadEnsemble: Part of one along with Quellor,
* BigDamnReunion: [[spoiler:In "Father's Day", he reunites with his father when his father comes
* BlankSlate: After he's had his memory erased by the Black Box, he is left with no thoughts and no personality. When Gimmick tries to use the Crystal Stethoscope on him, it doesn't register any personality traits at all.
* BlessedWithSuck: Being a cross between a Troll and a Grunge has its problems. He has his mother's evil morals but his father's skills, so he can't be both happy and successful.
* BlowingARaspberry: In the Wizardweek ground race, after the Elves and Woodsprites fix his sabotage, he blows them one in frustration.
* {{Bouncer}}: During L.B.'s reign as Supreme Oppressor, he becomes the new gatekeeper and is forced to deal with the riffraff of monsters that try to come in.
* BoundAndGagged:
** In "Uncle Grubby", when he's put on trial at M.A.V.O., he's chained up in court. He's then gagged so he can't defend himself because no M.A.V.O. trial is a fair one.
** In "Winter Adventure", Quellor's henchmen come to his tower and tie
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: He often monograms his things with
* BuffySpeak: When he has some catapults built for war with the Gutangs, he calls them "springy things". When L.B. clarifies that they're called catapults, Tweeg thinks he's thinking of caterpillars.
* CaptivityHarmonica: Plays one after being thrown in the M.A.V.O. dungeon. After being fed up with being locked up, he throws it in frustration.
* CardCarryingVillain: Or card-carrying villain wannabe. In Grundo, villains usually refer to themselves as villains, including Tweeg.
* CatchYourDeathOfCold: After being caught in a sudden downpour in his burned-down house, his next scene has him sneezing under a blanket with his feet in hot water.
* TheChewToy: He never seems to stop being a source of comedic pain.
*
* ClothingDamage: Notable for how it's accomplished. After accidentally blasting himself with the black box, the now mindless Tweeg wanders off from the Hard to Find City in a ditzy daze. Next time we see him, the collar of his robe is missing, the sleeves are in tatters,
* ComplimentBackfire: Eleanor sets him up to fall for this. When she accuses him
*
* ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his recipe for making gold out of buttermilk.
* CoolCrown: In a couple of {{Imagine Spot}}s, he fantasizes about wearing a royal crown. He actually gets one
*
* CreepyCrossdresser: He's a MasterOfDisguise, and a few of his disguises involve him dressing as a woman.
* CripplingTheCompetition: During a Grungeball game, when his team is losing bigtime, he tricks the
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Louie points out how the Wizard and the Sorcerer, as much as they hate each other, are alike in that
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: After Wizardland falls apart and
* CutLexLuthorACheck: His alleged gold recipe only ever comes out with buttermilk donuts. L.B. eventually figures out
* ServileSnarker: He sometimes copes with his job as the Wizard's put-upon assistant by making snarky remarks.
* ThoseMagnificentFlyingMachines: He rides around on a pedal-powered helicopter that
*
* {{Determinator}}: You've got to give him credit. He sure doesn't give up his dream.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: After crossing a bridge during a race, Tweeg stopped to destroy it and even waited to see how the Wooly What's-It would cross it. And he wasn't even on the lead.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He does this all the time.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He decides to go to war against the Gutangs when their ambassador says that they can't afford the new subscription rate of ''True Villainy''.
* DisappearedDad: Well, sort of; Tweeg's father Elroy didn't so much "disappear" as he got divorced
* DisguisedInDrag: Sometimes he disguises himself as a woman, including his first disguise ever in "In the Fortress of the Wizard".
* TheDoorSlamsYou: Another RunningGag. Eleanor did it in "Tweeg's Mom" and "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups",
* DoWrongRight: He pulls this on himself, knowing getting into M.A.V.O. means successfully filling a list of bad deeds. L.B. says that since he always fails at that, maybe he could try doing right wrong!
* DramaticDrop: In Wizardweek, while trying to make a magic potion, L.B. catches him by surprise and makes him drop and break the beaker.
* DrunkWithPower: After he becomes the Supreme Oppressor, he goes so mad with power that he actually declares war on the Gutangs. This time, he goes so far that L.B. betrays him and helps Quellor get back into power.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Tweeg desperately wants to be taken seriously as a villain, but nobody gives him even the slightest credit. Even his own minions mock him. To his ''face''.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: To Tweeg, anyway; his full name is actually Jack W. Tweeg. We never do find out what the "W" stands for, so it is possible he also has an EmbarrassingMiddleName.
* EmbarrassinglyPainfulSunburn: While lying on the beach in one episode, he ignores his father's advice to put on some lotion and gets a terrible sunburn on his nose.
* EmbodimentOfVice: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him in disguise, the Crystal says the trait he embodies is greed.
* EntertaininglyWrong: When he spies on the Trio, sees that they're cooking something with buttermilk and flour, and remembers how L.B., who is a jerk and a troublemaker to him, hasn't gotten any money from him in ages, he concludes that L.B. must have sold his gold recipe to Gimmick. The Trio are just baking cookies.
* EpicFlail: He tries to use a flail in "The Crystal Book", but he accidentally breaks his mother's mirror with it and drops it on his foot. So, EpicFail of Epic Flail.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Zig-zagged. He outright says that he loves her in "Tweeg's Mom". For the rest of the series, it's questionable whether what he feels for her is genuine love, although he still wants to make her proud.
* EvilGenius: He calls himself all the time, although the genius part is questionable at best.
* EvilIsPetty: He does all kinds of petty things, such as belittling his employees, refusing to thank people who help him, and not brushing his teeth. It's established in-universe that to be a proper villain, you have to do both major and minor bad deeds.
* EvilKnockoff: In "Win One
* EvilLaugh: He often does this when he's happy or thinks he's being clever.
* FaintInShock: At the end of his trial in "Double Grubby", M.A.V.O. gives him a second chance to complete his checklist, but to make sure he does it right, they assign L.B. as his supervisor, which makes him faint.
* FakingAmnesia: After getting his memory restored by the Black Box in "The Big Escape", he pretends to still have amnesia for a little while to take advantage of Eleanor and L.B.
* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: He actually manages to cheat
* ForgotToMindTheirHead: While working his Wizardweek chariot, L.B. calls out to him, causing him to bump his head under the chariot.
* FreudianExcuse: Tweeg sings a song about how his mother always abused him as a child and made him into the rotten guy he is today.
* GetOut: Tells this to the Bounders when he thinks that L.B. leaked out his gold formula to the Trio.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Sometimes, L.B. will make a suggestion and Tweeg will pretend he thought of it himself, such as giving everyone the Tweezles and selling a fake cure in "The Lemonade Stand".
* GoldFever: If there's gold to be had, he's got to have it. He blows a lot of his money on buying buttermilk and flour because he thinks he has a recipe for turning it into gold.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Once, he lifts his robe to reveal orange boxers with white spots.
* GotMeDoingIt: In "In the Fortress of the Wizard" and "The Medicine Wagon", after hearing L.B. call him "Tweek" or "Tweeze" too many times, he accidentally calls himself that.
* GrapesOfLuxury: After he is declared the new Supreme Oppressor, the first thing he orders after having Quellor locked up is for Mrs. Maggotheart to peel grapes for him to eat.
* {{Greed}}: He'll do anything if it means getting rich. In "The Crystal Book", Gimmick's new invention the Crystal Stethoscope reveals that greed is a key trait of his.
* GreenAndMean: He's bright green and a villain. He gets it from his Troll mother.
* GreenEyedMonster: Tweeg's vendetta against Gimmick is solely due to the fact that Gimmick is a brilliant inventor and creates many marvelous inventions, whilst Tweeg's perpetual quest to create a formula that will turn buttermilk into gold has never succeeded.
* HairTriggerAvalanche: When he fires his cannon in the winter, the noise causes an avalanche that buries him and his tower.
* HarmlessLadyDisguise: For his first disguise in the show, he dresses as a little old lady and asks for their help. The Trio don't suspect the disguised Tweeg, though they admit that "she" is a little strange.
* HatesTheirParent: While he wants to make her proud, you can't call it affection. When he realizes his mother was in a dream he had, he calls it a nightmare.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: In "Father's Day", Tweeg actually considers giving up on villainy and committing to the Surf Grunge lifestyle he actively enjoys... but, upon seeing his father's championship winnings, he can't resist his mother's training and steals them. When his dad catches him out with them, Tweeg gives them back in shame at hurting his dad and then returns
* HighHopesZeroTalent: All he really wants to be is a great villain like his mother, but since his talents come from his father's side, he's not very good at villainy.
* HiddenDepths: When reunited with his father, after being given an opportunity to practice, Tweeg turns out to be a natural surfer.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Often, it's his own fault that his schemes fail because he doesn't think things through. Once he tries to use the Black Box against Quellor, only to erase his own memories because he doesn't know how to aim it.
* {{Hypochondria}}: During the Tweezle episode, he turns red with blue spots. Okay, viable reason to think you're sick. But then he starts to think he's getting other symptoms that he never had like a fever. At the end of the episode, he and the Trio sing a song about how your attitude can affect how healthy you feel.
* IAmSong: "The Black Box", he sings "I'm Tweeg" which is basically him singing about what his name is and the proper way to say it. The next episode, he gets another called "I'm the Supreme Oppressor".
* ICantLookGesture: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge ransack his tower looking for the gold formula, he scrunches his eyes and tries to look away.
* IHaveYourWife: He kidnaps Fuzz, Gimmick's pet Fob, and leaves a threatening note saying that if the Trio don't leave the valley by sundown, they'll never see him again.
* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: When he sees the result of Gimmick PalatePropping L.B., he complains, "Why am I always pulling things out of your mouth? I'm a villain, not a dentist."
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: He's not called the world's worst shot for nothing. He's so terrible at aiming his cannon that Gimmick outright states the safest place to be when Tweeg starts shooting is right where he's aiming for. He's even taken to writing "return to Tweeg" on all his cannonballs because he loses that many of them.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: For all his antagonistic role, Tweeg just... isn't a very good villain. Even InUniverse, his "enemies" see him as more of a nuisance than an actual threat. Episode 61 actually implies Tweeg would really be happier if he gave villainy up, but he can't think of anything else to do with himself.
* InaneBlabbering: After he has his memories erased,
* InsaneTrollLogic: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", Tweeg comes to the conclusion that since snowballs are sparkly, and so are the Crystals, this means the Crystals are made of snow.
* InsistentTerminology: In "The Crystal Book", he tells his mother he's not whining. He's whimpering.
* InsultBackfire: When Bognostroclum pulls a BaitAndSwitchComment that ends with insulting him, Tweeg responds that he has no time for flattery. And during the Wizardweek parade, when the crowd boos Tweeg, he takes it to mean they love him.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Tweeg hates the fact that M.A.V.O. has been hunting him like a common villain. Because he's not common, he's a ''master'' villain!
* TheKlutz: He's a real bungler in what he does and tends to be a victim of amusing injuries.
* LadiesAndGerms: He introduces his phony rainmaking machine by saying "Illipers and Perloons, Grundonians and Nogburtniks".
* LampshadeWearing: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", after he sneaks into Gimmick's house, he puts on a lampshade and pretends to be a lamp so he won't be noticed.
* LastNameBasis: Everyone calls him Tweeg. In fact, even his own parents don't call him Jack, though they often affectionately call him Tweegie.
* LateToTheRealization: Sometimes he takes a minute to realize something. For example, in the live-action special, L.B. has to tell him multiple times while he's busy feeling sorry for himself that the Airship is landing.
* LeanAndMean: He's tall, thin, and villainous.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he tricks the Elves and the Woodsprites into fighting, since the M.A.V.O. list of bad deeds includes starting a fight between perfectly good friends. He tries it again between Gimmick and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups", but Teddy solves the disagreement quickly.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Inverted. Not only does he prefer to take after his mother, but he also goes by her last name. Grunges don't have last names, though, so Elroy took Eleanor's when they married.
* LiteralMinded: When Louie visits Tweeg's lemonade stand, he orders a lemonade "on the rocks". Tweeg shrugs and dumps some lemonade on the ground.
* LivingMuseumExhibit: The Sorcerer's minions find him without his memory and deliver him to their boss, who presents him as "The Troll-Grunge with No Brain."
* LyingFingerCross: In "Wizardweek", when Teddy wishes him good luck, he crosses his fingers behind his back while he wishes him the same.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Not only does L.B. do it to Tweeg, Tweeg also does it to Teddy, calling him such names as "Teddy Dustbin" or "Teddy Rucksack".
* ManipulativeBastard: He can be this when he wants to be. He manages to manipulate the Mudblup King into letting him go by making the king think Eleanor will marry the king, and later manipulates Quellor into letting him keep his memory in exchange for the (fake) gold formula.
* MathematiciansAnswer: When Quellor asks if he acquired the Crystals by stealing or treachery, Tweeg just gives a nervous "Yes." Quellor is pleased with this answer.
* MedicineShow: In "The Medicine Wagon", he opens one to sell his phony Tweezle remedy, even getting the Bounders to do a song and dance number like a commercial.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: It's never revealed what the W stands for.
* NeverMyFault: Whenever one of his plans doesn't work, he insists that it must be L.B.'s fault.
* NoListeningSkills: He never listens to L.B. has a helpful suggestion and just brushes off L.B.'s warning that things will go wrong.
* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, is a Troll, whilst his father, Elroy, is a Surf Grunge.
* NonPromotion: Eleanor, in a rare moment of kindness, recommends Tweeg for the new keeper of the gate. Tweeg is thrilled at first because it means he's an important member of M.A.V.O. but comes to hate it when he realizes how much work it involves.
* NoSenseOfDirection: When he and L.B. fall from the ''Eclipse'' and land in the water, he insists that they're swimming in the right direction to land. The shore is right behind them without them even knowing it.
* NosyNeighbor: He's always using his telescope to spy on Gimmick's house from up in his tower, thinking that Gimmick is up to something.
* NotQuiteDead: After the ''Eclipse'' sinks into the water, Quellor wonders if Tweeg went down with it. The next scene is a shot of him and L.B. swimming away.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Although he never succeeds at doing anything too villainous, Tweeg also has a fairly ruthless streak. He actually ''sold his own mother'' to the Mudblup King as a bride in return for a trunk full of gems[[note]]although he knew the King was in love with his mother, and she herself was willing to go along with it once Tweeg thought to bribe her[[/note]], and once abducted Gimmick's pet Fob, Fuzz, in order to blackmail Gimmick into leaving the valley.
* OldTimeyBathingSuit: He wears a blue-and-yellow-striped one in "Air and Water Races".
* OpportunisticBastard: He loves to seize
* TheParanoiac: He's got more than enough criteria to count:
** NeverMyFault: He blame others, mostly L.B., when one of his plans goes wrong while [[GladIThoughtOfIt taking credit for L.B.'s good ideas]].
** [[JadeColoredGlasses Suspiciousness / Cynicism]]: He's very suspicious of the Trio, assumes that they're out to get him, and believes that he has to lie and cheat to get what he wants.
** {{Jerkass}}: He rarely cares about anyone but himself.
** [[{{Narcissist}} Self-Importance]]: He thinks he's a genius and that it's his destiny to be the richest and greatest villain
** ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his gold formula.
* PatchworkKids: He's half-Troll, half-Grunge and looks it. He has the tall, humanoid build of a Grunge but has his mother's green Troll skin. And while he follows his mother's morality, he gets his father's talents.
* PieInTheFace: When M.A.V.O. finally gets the Crystals, the monsters are so happy that they have fun throwing pies around the meeting room. One hits Tweeg.
* PlotAllergy: Complains when he gets covered in strawberry juice that strawberries give him a rash.
* PolkaDotDisease: Subverted. He wakes up one morning having turned red with blue dots all over and thinks he has this. L.B. calls the condition the Tweezles. After the Trio try to help him, they figure it out that skin only changed because he drank Rainbow Falls water.
* PowderGag: In "Double Grubby", when his cannon misfires, the ball lands on the flour bag L.B. stole and leaves him covered with flour. It makes him look like an Illiop.
* ThePrankster: He turns into one in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball". When forced to greet party guests at the door, he does so with practical jokes. Apparently, M.A.V.O.'s spell of evil even made him be a better bad guy.
* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: He wears a dark purple robe. The ambiguity of purple is fitting for a guy who [[EvilWearsBlack wants to be a villain]] but [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain never quite makes it]].
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: This sometimes happens him when he fires his cannon. Since he lives at the top of a tower, he's prone to riding his cannon backwards down his long spiral staircase.
* RemovingTheRival: One of his favorite tactics in a competition is this. During a Grungeball game, he gives some of the other team a stomachache, allowing his own team to catch up, and in Wizardweek, the only event his team won was the synchronized swimming because he sabotaged all the other teams.
* ReplacedWithReplica: In "Winter Adventure", the Bounders help him escape Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge by replacing him with a dummy.
* TheRival: He sees his relationship with Gimmick as this, though they play it straighter during sporting events when they compete against each other.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: He's green and wears purple. At one point, it's revealed that he wears orange underwear, completing the set.
* ShamedByAMob: [[spoiler:After L.B. gives his wedding vows to Buffy]], Tweeg says, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." The guests glare at him angrily.
* SharpDressedMan: Some of his disguises have him dressed in a suit and tie to look like a respectable businessman.
* SissyVillain: He's really skinny, crossdresses multiple times in the series, and has a voice that sounds like it never aged properly.
* SlipperySkid: In "King Nogburt's Castle", he runs onto his balcony, steps on one of his cannonballs, and rolls and crashes right through his railing.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He calls himself an EvilGenius, but he's not nearly as smart (or for that matter as evil) as he thinks he is. The times when he actually knows what he's doing in his schemes are few and far between.
* SmugSnake: A villain who thinks he's way better than he really is. He often looks smug until his plans turn sideways.
* SnakeOilSalesman: One of his favorite ways to get quick cash, either by selling dubious knickknacks imagined problems or a largely harmless "cure-all" potion that gives its drinkers spots.
* SodaCanShakeup: After stealing Grubby's root beer recipe and selling it as "Villain Up", the customers want a little more fizz. So shakes a whole barrel of it as much as he can, and it explodes, splashing everyone.
* SpeechImpediment: When dressed as a little boy selling lemonade, he uses a fake impediment to make him sound more childish, somewhere between a mild lisp and mild ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
* StaircaseTumble: He's prone to falling down his staircase. And since he lives at the top of the tower with a long, spiraling stone staircase, it's a long and painful fall.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Any time he looks like he's going to succeed doesn't last long. At one point, he becomes Supreme Oppressor, only to lose the spot by the end of the next episode.
* StickyFingers: Stealing is one of the things he has to do to join M.A.V.O. When he visits his mother and she opens her safe, he snatches a ruby. She catches him in the act but comments that he's got the right idea.
* StupidestThingIveEverHeard: He says just this about [[spoiler:L.B.'s wedding vows to Buffy]], which are really just a piece of bad poetry. The other guests give Tweeg a DeathGlare.
* SurferDude: He tries to adopt this lifestyle to bond with his father and picks up the slang quickly, although he eventually goes back to being a villain.
* TakingCandyFromABaby: This is on the checklist of bad deeds for someone who wants to join M.A.V.O. He even forces L.B. to stand in for a baby for practice. At one point, he does steal candy from baby Fobs, but Wooly was there at the time and angrily forces him to give it back.
* TallyMarksOnThePrisonWall: While locked up in "Autumn Adventure". It's parodied because he's actually marking off the minutes.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Apart from the Rainbow Falls lemonade fiasco, he hides a special plant that causes a belly ache in some hot dogs and tricks the Grunges into eating them.
* TemptingFate: In "Beware of the Mudblups", he swears he'll get the best of Gimmick one day. "May I be struck from above if I don't." He immediately gets struck by some root stew that was dumped overboard the Airship.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: In some episodes, he announces it, such as in "Tweeg Gets the Tweezles" when he says he feels a song coming on.
* ThatsAnOrder: When he forces L.B. to scrape the slime off the bottom of the ''Eclipse'', he says that he's ordering and not asking him to do it.
* ThisMeansWar: During his brief reign as the Supreme Oppressor, he says this to the Gutang Ambassador.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Despite his many failures, occasionally, he manages to actually do something nasty that works. In "Teddy and the Mudblups", he sells out his own mother to the Mudblup King, which is a triple whammy for his checklist of bad deeds.
* TrappedTheWrongTarget: When he finds out that there's a reward for capturing Teddy, he tries to find him with a net. He hears someone coming and catches L.B. by mistake.
* TheUnFavourite: He's actually an only child, and he still manages to be this in his mother's eyes.
* UngratefulBastard: One episode had Tweeg believing he had some horrible disease. The Trio, at L.B.'s request, came to the tower to help and offered folk remedies. Finally, Gimmick figured out that Tweeg had been drinking water from Rainbow Falls. Rather than be thankful his "disease" is just a temporary discoloration, Tweeg throws a fit, demanding Gimmick and company leave his tower and accusing them of using this as an opportunity to torture him and learn his secrets.
* WalkingDisasterArea: He's such a bungler that you can count episodes where he doesn't cause disaster on one hand.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Part of the reason Tweeg is driven to become a great villain is to make his mother proud. Even little things like hearing her call him "son" fill him with joy.

* WingdingEyes: After he has his memory erased, he has spirals or circles around his pupils.
* WordSchmord: In "The Black Box", Tweeg says "Screwdriver Schmewdriver" because what L.B. stole is more important than the tool he needed before.
* XanatosSpeedChess: When he quickly changes their cover from portrait painters to housepainters to infiltrate the castle, he explains to L.B. that part of being a good villain is adjusting your plans.
* YoureInsane: When M.A.V.O. is short on funds and Mrs. Maggotheart suggests selling M.A.V.O.'s gold and jewels, then-Supreme Oppressor Tweeg calls her a nut.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Occasionally, when Tweeg is actually listening to L.B. for a change, he'll admit that L.B., for all of his insults and complaints, has a point. For example, when Tweeg gets a load of gold in "Through Tweeg's Fingers", L.B. points out he may not get a chance to show it to Quellor once Eleanor sees the gold.

* LoveAtFirstSight: He once claimed that he fell for Buffy from the moment he laid eyes on her.

* MaliciousMisnaming: Frequently gets Tweeg's name wrong on purpose, calling him things like Twizzle or [[HaveAGayOldTime Twink]], to annoy and irritate him. This often prompts Tweeg to angrily spell his name out loud. It occasionally extends to other characters too. He once called Teddy Ruxpin "Teddy Fishfin", Gimmick "Limerick", and Quellor "Queelor". Even King Nogburt himself is not immune, as he's called him "King Nogburl/Nogburn/Nosebleed".
* MisspellingOutLoud: In "The Third Crystal", when Tweeg once again clarifies that his name is spelled T-W-E-E-G, L.B. retorts that "It'll be M-U-D-D mud."

Quellor agrees. But to Quellor, that job amounts to being a maid for all of M.A.V.O. Headquarters. L.B. decides that Quellor treats him worse than Tweeg ever did, so he decides to get his own boss and his old job back.

* MyBelovedSmother: His mother means well but is way too controlling when it comes to [[spoiler:planning his wedding to Buffy]].

* NumberTwo: Among the Bounders, he's Tweeg's second in command.
* OfficialCouple: Buffy is his girlfriend [[spoiler:and eventual wife]].
* OnlySaneMan: To Tweeg's crew. Tweeg is an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, and the other Bounders are not very bright.

* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's tiny compared to Tweeg, but he can pull Tweeg's wagon with Tweeg in it.
* PrehensileTail: Because L.B. doesn't have hands, he sometimes uses his stubby tail as a hand, although he prefers to use his mouth.

* PungeonMaster: He loves making puns, usually to mock Tweeg.
* RefuseToRescueTheDisliked: Downplayed. He doesn't exactly refuse, but he's reluctant to rescue Tweeg when he falls into a pit of quicksand. He comes around when Tweeg even offers to finally pay him, but it's all for nothing when Quellor's thugs come along and pull him out.
* RememberedTooLate: In "Wizardweek", when Tweeg tries to launch himself from a catapult, he says that this time, he's accounted for both height and wind direction. "What else is there?" L.B. thinks he forgot a factor and only remembers what it is after Tweeg is launched: distance!
* RousingSpeech: Double-subverted. When he acts as a coach to the Mudblup Mashers Grungeball team, the "pep talk" he gives is anything but encouraging. But for some reason, it does give them the confidence to go out and win. As L.B. says, Mudblups are really stupid.
* RunningOnTheSpot: Near the end of "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when Quellor threatens to throw him in the dungeon for usurping his position, he does this while trying to run away, giving Quellor enough time to kick him out the window.
* SelfDeprecation: He admits to himself that he can't be all that smart if he willingly works for someone like Tweeg.
* ShoutOut: He makes several of them.
** When a cannon misfire causes Tweeg to get splattered with flour, L.B. says, "Now, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That%27s_Entertainment! that's entertainment]]."
** While he and Tweeg are M.A.V.O. prisoners and Tweeg is forced to load the ''Eclipse'' with cargo, L.B. says to [[Theatre/ShowBoat "tote these bales onto that barge."]]
** When he decides to FaceDeathWithDignity while sinking into a frozen lake, he looks back on his life and says [[Creator/FrankSinatra "I did it my way".]]
* SignatureLaugh: A wheezing laugh, often heard when Tweeg suffers from amusing misfortune.
* SillyLoveSongs: At the M.A.V.O. costume ball, he sings one for his girlfriend called "Your Rotten Heart, Your Ugly Face". To a villain, it's flattery, but to everyone else, the things he compares her to in the song make it seem like a silly way to be romantic.
* SlaveToPR: After he lets Teddy go from M.A.V.O., he makes it clear that he means "Don't mention it" literally because he has a reputation to uphold.
* StatusQuoIsGod: No matter what happens in the series, even if they're separated for a few episodes, he always manages to go back to working for Tweeg.
* TuftOfHeadFur: Some Bounders have a head full of hair, but L.B. just has a tuft of pink hair around the base of his horn.
* UseYourHead: Tweeg tells him to do this to help him move a treasure chest in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains". Just before L.B. makes contact, the treasure disappears, and he sends Tweeg flying backwards instead.
* VillainousValor: Although L.B's status as "evil" is arguable, he does have a fairly strong code of honor. He made sure to repay Teddy for saving his life when he got the chance, even if the decision was an unpopular one.
* WaddlingHead: Well, hopping head, but same thing. A Bounder is just a large head with a pair of legs and a tail sticking out the back.
* WavingSignsAround: In "Teddy's Quest", he and the Bounders are so fed up with Tweeg putting off their paychecks for so long that they start a protest at the tower, waving signs, demanding that he finally pay them.
* WhosLaughingNow: After being put upon and abused for so long, he pulls this on Tweeg twice in the series. When Quellor demands that Tweeg complete the M.A.V.O. checklist of bad deeds by the next initiation day, L.B. is made his supervisor to make sure he does it. Now Tweeg has to do what he says, and L.B. takes full advantage of it. Then when L.B. becomes Supreme Oppressor, he makes Tweeg do humiliating tasks like delivering party invitations.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: L.B. is terrified of ''Fobs'. You know, those cute little rainbow-hued fluffy guys? That's like being afraid of a declawed kitten.
* WinOneForTheGipper: In the episode appropriately titled "Win One for the Twipper", he gives a villainous version to the Mudblup Mashers. It gives them confidence, but it doesn't work because the other team is just too good for them. The Mashers only catch up when Tweeg sabotages the competition.
* YouDontWantToCatchThis: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge grab Tweeg and try to take him back to Quellor, L.B. saves him by telling them that Tweeg has a fatal, contagious disease called Woofinpoof disease. This scares them away.
* AffablyEvil: L.B.'s a villain but not really a bad guy. Ironically, the only one he's really mean to is his boss. At least he and Teddy manage to get along late in the series.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: In "The Hard to Find City", Tweeg responds to L.B.'s smart remark by stepping on his foot.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: L.B. ransacks Gimmick's house so he can steal the Crystals for Tweeg.

* RememberedTooLate: In "Wizardweek", when Tweeg tries to launch himself from a catapult, he says that this time, he's accounted for both height and wind direction. "What else is there?" L.B. thinks he forgot a factor and only remembers what it is after Tweeg is launched: distance!

Now Tweeg has to do what he says, and L.B. takes full advantage of it. Then when L.B. becomes Supreme Oppressor, he makes Tweeg do humiliating tasks like delivering party invitations.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: L.B. is terrified of ''Fobs'. You know, those cute little rainbow-hued fluffy guys? That's like being afraid of a declawed kitten.
* WinOneForTheGipper: In the episode appropriately titled "Win One for the Twipper", he gives a villainous version to the Mudblup Mashers. It gives them confidence, but it doesn't work because the other team is just too good for them. The Mashers only catch up when Tweeg sabotages the competition.
* YouDontWantToCatchThis: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge grab Tweeg and try to take him back to Quellor, L.B. saves him by telling them that Tweeg has a fatal, contagious disease called Woofinpoof disease. This scares them away.

* IWarnedYou: Tweeg never seems to listen to L.B.'s warnings that something is going to go wrong.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Occasionally, when Tweeg is actually listening to L.B. for a change, he'll admit that L.B., for all of his insults and complaints, has a point. For example, when Tweeg gets a load of gold in "Through Tweeg's Fingers", L.B. points out he may not get a chance to show it to Quellor once Eleanor sees the gold. Tweeg agrees and decides to skip his mother's house and go straight to Quellor.
* LadiesAndGerms: He says "Ladies and gentlemonsters" in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball".
* TheLeader: Of the Bounders. His initials stand for "Lead Bounder".
* LimaSyndrome: After Tweeg kidnaps Fuzz and locks him in a cage, he comes to like the little guy. This is mainly because Fuzz enjoys trolling Tweeg
* LiteralMinded: In "Double Grubby", L.B. thinks a cat burglar means someone who steals cats.
* LoveAtFirstSight: He once claimed that he fell for Buffy from
* MakesUsEven: During his brief reign as Supreme Oppressor, M.A.V.O. captures him. He orders them to let him go to pay him back for saving his life, making them even.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Frequently gets Tweeg's name wrong on purpose, calling him things like Twizzle or [[HaveAGayOldTime Twink]], to annoy and irritate him. This often prompts Tweeg to angrily spell his name out loud. It occasionally extends to other characters too. He once called Teddy Ruxpin "Teddy Fishfin", Gimmick "Limerick", and Quellor "Queelor". Even
* MisspellingOutLoud: In "The Third Crystal", when Tweeg once again clarifies that his name is spelled T-W-E-E-G, L.B. retorts that "It'll be M-U-D-D mud."
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: In "The Hard to Find City", after getting sick of Tweeg going mad
* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: In "Harvest Feast", then Gimmick takes the king for
* WhatsUpKingDude: They treat commoners like Teddy, Grubby, and
* MusicalNumberAnnoyance: He sometimes gets annoyed when Tweeg bursts into song. In "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains", when Tweeg feels a song coming on, L.B. wishes he had hands so he could cover his ears.
* MyBelovedSmother: His mother means well but is way too controlling when it comes to [[spoiler:planning his wedding to Buffy]].
* MyNewGiftIsLame: Just about
* NobleDemon: He may be on the villains' side, but he's got a sense of honor. During his M.A.V.O. reign, after he remembers how Teddy saved him from drowning, he declares that he owes him, so he orders the monsters to let him go.
* NotInMyContract: In "Sign of a Friend", when forced to help Tweeg practice taking candy from a baby, L.B. complains that playing babies isn't in his contract.
* NotSoFinalConfession: When he thinks he's going to down in icy water, he declares "Buffy, I...I love you! I never told you, and I'm sorry!" She's not actually there to hear it, but the sentiment is there. He's just trying to get his regrets off his chest while he's
* NumberTwo: Among the Bounders, he's Tweeg's second in command.
* OfficialCouple: Buffy is his girlfriend [[spoiler:and eventual wife]].
* OnlySaneMan: To Tweeg's crew. Tweeg is an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, and the other Bounders are not very bright.
* PersonalMook: To Tweeg. The Bounders work for him, but L.B.'s his right-hand Bounder.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's tiny compared to Tweeg, but he can pull Tweeg's wagon with Tweeg in it.
* PrehensileTail: Because L.B. doesn't have hands, he sometimes uses his stubby tail as a hand, although he prefers to use his mouth.
* PunchClockVillain: L.B. isn't really evil. For the most part he just wants to be entertained and have fun, he just has a moral bar that's lower than most people.
* PungeonMaster: He loves making puns, usually to mock Tweeg.
* RefuseToRescueTheDisliked: Downplayed. He doesn't exactly refuse, but he's reluctant to rescue Tweeg when he falls into a pit of quicksand. He comes around when Tweeg even offers to finally pay him, but it's all for nothing when Quellor's thugs come along and pull him out.
* RememberedTooLate: In "Wizardweek", when Tweeg tries to launch himself from a catapult, he says that this time, he's accounted for both height and wind direction. "What else is there?" L.B. thinks he forgot a factor and only remembers what it is after Tweeg is launched: distance!
* RousingSpeech: Double-subverted. When he acts as a coach to the Mudblup Mashers Grungeball team, the "pep talk" he gives is anything but encouraging. But for some reason, it does give
* RunningOnTheSpot: Near the end of "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when Quellor threatens to throw him in the dungeon for usurping his position, he does this while trying to run away, giving Quellor enough time to kick him out the window.
* SelfDeprecation: He admits to himself that he can't be all that smart if he willingly works for someone like Tweeg.
* ShoutOut: He makes several of them.
** When a cannon misfire causes Tweeg to get splattered with flour, L.B. says, "Now, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That%27s_Entertainment! that's entertainment]]."
** While he and Tweeg are M.A.V.O. prisoners and Tweeg is forced to load the ''Eclipse'' with cargo, L.B. says to [[Theatre/ShowBoat "tote these bales onto that barge."]]
** When he decides to FaceDeathWithDignity while sinking into a frozen lake, he looks back on his life and says [[Creator/FrankSinatra "I did it my way".]]
* SignatureLaugh: A wheezing laugh, often heard when Tweeg suffers from amusing misfortune.
* SillyLoveSongs: At the M.A.V.O. costume ball, he sings one for his girlfriend called "Your Rotten Heart,
* SlaveToPR: After he lets Teddy go from M.A.V.O., he makes it clear that he means "Don't mention it" literally because he has a reputation to uphold.
* StatusQuoIsGod: No matter what happens in the series, even if they're separated for a few episodes, he always manages to go back to working for Tweeg.
* TuftOfHeadFur: Some Bounders have a head full of hair, but L.B. just has a tuft of pink hair around the base of his horn.
* UseYourHead: Tweeg tells him to do this to help him move a treasure chest in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains". Just before L.B. makes contact, the treasure disappears, and he sends Tweeg flying backwards instead.
* VillainousValor: Although L.B's status as "evil" is arguable, he does have a fairly strong code of honor. He made sure to repay Teddy for saving his life when he got the chance, even if the decision was an unpopular one.
* WaddlingHead: Well, hopping head, but same thing. A Bounder is just a large head with a pair of legs and a tail sticking out the back.
* WavingSignsAround: In "Teddy's Quest", he and the Bounders are so fed up with Tweeg putting off their paychecks for so long that they start a protest at the tower, waving signs, demanding that he finally pay them.
* WhosLaughingNow: After being put upon and abused for so long, he pulls this on Tweeg twice in the series. When Quellor demands that Tweeg complete the M.A.V.O. checklist of bad deeds by the next initiation day, L.B. is made his supervisor to make sure he does it. Now Tweeg has to do what he says, and L.B. takes full advantage of it. Then when L.B. becomes Supreme Oppressor, he makes Tweeg do humiliating tasks like delivering party invitations.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: L.B. is terrified of ''Fobs'. You know, those cute little rainbow-hued fluffy guys? That's like being afraid of a declawed kitten.
* WinOneForTheGipper: In the episode appropriately titled "Win One for the Twipper", he gives a villainous version to the Mudblup Mashers. It gives them confidence, but it doesn't work because the other team is just too good for them. The Mashers only catch up when Tweeg sabotages the competition.
* YouDontWantToCatchThis: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge grab Tweeg and try to take him back to Quellor, L.B. saves him by telling them that Tweeg has a fatal, contagious disease called Woofinpoof disease. This scares them away.

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His sword can slice right through solid wood.
* AngryCollarGrab: He picks up Tweeg by the collar and throws him across the room to convince him to hand over his gold formula.
* BadBoss: An interesting example. While he has all the earmarks of this, he IS the leader of an ObviouslyEvil NebulousEvilOrganisation, and this is actually expected of him in the group's bylaws.
* BigBad: He's the ''real'' antagonist behind the entire course of the show. His ambition to collect all of the crystals and generally cause mayhem is what drives most of the show's conflict.
* BigBadEnsemble: There are several independent factions of villains in the series, so he's part of one, along with Tweeg, the Sorcerer, the Mudblup King, and the Gutangs.
* BigShutUp: He prefers the word "Silence!", which he'll yell to shut up those beneath him.
* BigWhat: He tends to yell "What?!" when he hears something shocking, such as after he learns that a Crystal was stolen from an Illiop in "Tweeg's Mom".
* BillBillJunkBill: The mail-sorting version occurs in ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin'' episode "The Ying Zoo":
-->'''Quellor:''' Death threats, eviction notices, catastrophe predictions...how come I never get anything interesting?
* BreakoutVillain: Around mid-series, he replaces Tweeg as the main villain. Most fans agree that he makes a better BigBad than the latter.
* BrightIsNotGood: His outfit is partly bright gold, but he's a villain.
* BuriedAlive: In "Musical Oppressors", when he corners Teddy in a cave, he accidentally causes a rockslide that briefly buries him, though he's fine when he climbs out of it.
* CanonForeigner: Along with the other members of M.A.V.O., Quellor was created just for the animated series.
* CirclingBirdies: In "Teddy's Quest", after getting knocked out by Trudge's club, he lays on the ground unconscious, stars swirling over his head.
* CoolChair: As the Supreme Oppressor, he gets an ornate stone throne at the top of a flight of stairs where he can look down on everyone.
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes. When Tweeg promises Quellor that he won't fail him, right before klutzing out, Quellor says, "That would be a nice change."
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Surprisingly, when he threatens to erase Tweeg's memory, if Tweeg did not reveal him the secret gold-making formula. Tweeg rather logically pointed out, that if Quellor erased his memory, he would erase the formula, too.
* DismissingACompliment: In one episode, after getting tired of Bognostroclum's many creative honorifics titles for him, he tells him to knock off the cheap flattery.
* DuetOfDifferences: When he and Teddy are in the same boat, they sing the duet "All Locked Up" about how they want to get out of jail, but for opposite reasons: [[TheHero Teddy]] has a desire to do good for everyone, while [[BigBad Quellor]] wants out so he can bring evil.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's the most treacherous and feared villain in Grundo, and it's his goal to spread evil throughout the land, but he's also proud of the business relationship that M.A.V.O. has with the Gutangs, and when Tweeg declares war against the Gutangs for petty reasons, he's disgusted. Quellor may be the Supreme Oppressor, but he earned it by [[DoWrongRight doing wrong right]].
* EvilIsHammy: Quellor talks as big as he looks.
* EvilLaugh: Unlike Tweeg, who's just a wannabe, his deep evil laugh sounds really frightening.
* EvilOverlord: As the Supreme Oppressor of the Monsters and Villains Organization of Grundo, you know he's got this going on.
* EvilSoundsDeep: He has by far one of the deepest voices of any character in the series.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: Not only is his voice deep, it's raspy too, and he's the BigBad.
* FantasticHonorifics: Bognostroclum loves coming up with creative evil honorifics for him like "Your Gruesomeness", "Your Vileness", "Your Wickedness", "Your Nastiness", etc.
* FlatYes: Delivers one to the Sorcerer in "The Big Escape" when the Sorcerer asks if Quellor expects him to hand over his star attraction Tweeg.
* GeniusBruiser: He's large, strong, and physically intimidating but also a very competent leader.
* GetOut: Twice in the series--once where he discovers his henchmen lied to him about killing Tweeg, and once after hearing them ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with his orders--he gives them a furious "Out! Out! OUT!"
* AGlassInTheHand: In "The Big Escape", he crushes a goblet in his fingers.

* GoKartingWithBowser: Believe it or not, Teddy and Quellor sing a duet together when they're both trapped in M.A.V.O.'s prison. They manage not to be overtly antagonistic towards each other, though Quellor's lines lamenting not having the freedom to be an EvilOverlord do creep Teddy out.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Wears a gold hood, cape, and belt to symbolize he's the leader of M.A.V.O.
* HairTriggerTemper: Do the slightest thing to annoy him and he'll go into a rage.

* HarmlessElectrocution: In "The Big Escape", he gets so overloaded with electricity that you can see his skeleton. He's fine afterwards.
* HeroVsVillainDuet: Teddy and Quellor sing a duet called "No Place To Go" while they're both imprisoned in MAVO's Dungeon with, Teddy lamenting that while locked up, he's unable to help his friends, cheer people up, or explore whereas Quellor is angry he can't spread darkness, kick a [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Fob]] and make it yelp, or be cruel to his grandmother. Funnily enough while they do react to each other's verses, they manage to keep the harmony through the whole song and don't break down into any sort of insults.
* HiddenDepths: "The Hard to Find City" reveals that he can fly a plane.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After he briefly gives himself PsychoElectro powers, he thinks it's the perfect weapon. He never realized until it was too late that once the generator shorts out, the only one who'll get electrocuted is him.
* HornedHumanoid: He has two horns and looks like a tall humanoid.
* IControlMyMinionsThrough: He's an example of both Fear and Power. As the Supreme Oppressor, he is the leader of M.A.V.O. and holds the Black Box, a magical device that can erase your memory.

* ImprovisedWeapon: When he follows Teddy into a cave in "Musical Oppressors", he rips a stalactite out of the ceiling and uses it as a club.
* InTheHood: He always wears his hood and mask, so all we see of his face are his white eyes.
* IWantSong: "All Locked Up", a duet he shares with Teddy of all characters, is about how they both want to get out of prison, though for different reasons.
* KnightOfCerebus: Decidedly more competent than many of the other villains, things tended to get fairly serious when Quellor took part in the plot.
* LargeAndInCharge: Is easily the biggest member of M.A.V.O., though this is not the only reason he's in charge.
* LaserGuidedKarma: On his way to attack a supposedly captive and helpless Teddy, Quellor gets to be on the receiving end of his own newly acquired ShockAndAwe powers when Teddy's cage barely misses him but does nail Trudge, who is carrying Quellor's power source, severely damaging it. The resulting XRaySparks experience is poetic justice given he was probably planning to zap Teddy if he'd gotten to him.
* LetsSeeYouDoBetter: In "Leekee Lake", when an underling says he's hardly the Supreme Oppressor after he loses the Black Box, Quellor threateningly asks if he thinks he could do a better job.
* LiteralAssKicking: Kicks Drudge down a hill in frustration in "Up for Air". He also kicks L.B. out a window when he reclaims his power in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball".

* MistakenForAnImposter: In "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when he returns to the meeting hall after Teddy's escape, L.B. thinks he's someone in a Quellor costume for a party and even awards him first place for the funniest costume.
* OhCrap: When he sees the power pack for his PsychoElectro abilities begin to short out, Quellor immediately tries to escape his harness, but has no luck. The last instant before the power surge hits is a closeup of Quellor's horrified face as he realizes what's about to happen, enhanced by the fact that his normally featureless eyes have been given small pupils to emphasize his feelings. You almost feel sorry for him.
* OrderedApology: After Sludge calls Trudge fat, Quellor orders him to say he's sorry.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Zig-zagged. Before he meets Teddy, he's never seen outside of M.A.V.O. Headquarters. He'd prefer to send his henchmen to do things for himself while he stays at the Headquarters, but he's not afraid to lead the charge himself. He personally oversees the maiden voyage of the ''Eclipse'', the search for the Black Box, and the expedition to Ying.
* PetTheDog: He shows a surprising amount of affection toward his "pets", especially a unique gray one named Dweezil. He also sometimes thanks his underlings when they actually do something useful.
* PsychoElectro: Quellor attempts to gain this for an episode or two via a convoluted set of wires and a portable electricity generator. It doesn't end well.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His robe is dark purple, and he's the most powerful villain in Grundo.

* SpitTake: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", when he sees that Tweeg is still alive, he spits out his drink. It hits the Understander.
* SuperStrength: He's always been strong enough to lift and toss his underlings around, but when M.A.V.O.'s evil spell spreads through Grundo, he becomes so strong that he can rip a large stalactite out of a cave ceiling.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Most of his minions are either just plain stupid or annoying. He feels frustrated. He wonders what he did to deserve them.
* TapOnTheHead: In "Teddy's Quest", when he takes on all three of his henchmen, he gets knocked on the head by Trudge's club, making him pass out and wake up in a cell unharmed.
* TooDesperateToBePicky: While Tweeg and L.B. are M.A.V.O. prisoners, he's forced to give them another chance in "Anything in the Soup" because they're the only ones who are familiar with Teddy.
* VerbThis: When he catches L.B. trying to make off with the Black Box, L.B. feebly says he was taking out to be dry-cleaned. "I'll dry-clean you!"
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: For a basically charming series (for the most part), Quellor does give an ominous vibe.
* VillainNoLongerIdle: After he encounters Teddy face to face for the first time, he becomes a lot more proactive in M.A.V.O.'s activity. This is a turning point in the series when things start to get darker and more dangerous.
* VillainRespect: He praises Gimmick's inventiveness when his stolen plans allow M.A.V.O. to build their own airship.
* VillainSong: In his part of "All Locked Up", he sings about how he'd love to do evil as much as Teddy would do good.
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: When L.B. finds himself stuck working as his maid, Quellor says that L.B. should consider the privilege of working for him to be reward enough.
* WolverineClaws: He dons some fake long claws when he attempts to go PsychoElectro, with shocks generated from their tips.
* XRaySparks: His when his electrical power system shorts out and he gets electrocuted, he looks like a skeleton in a silhouette. This is actually the closest thing we get to seeing what he looks like under his clothes.
* YellowPurpleContrast: He wears a yellow hood, cape, and belt over a purple cloak.
* AngryCollarGrab: He picks up Tweeg by the collar and throws him across the room to convince him to hand over his gold formula.
* BadBoss: An interesting example. While he has all the earmarks of this, he IS the leader of an ObviouslyEvil NebulousEvilOrganisation, and this is actually expected of him in the group's bylaws.
* BigBad: He's the ''real'' antagonist behind the entire course of the show. His ambition to collect all of the crystals and generally cause mayhem is what drives most of the show's conflict.
* BigBadEnsemble: There are several independent factions of villains in the series, so he's part of one, along with Tweeg, the Sorcerer, the Mudblup King, and the Gutangs.
* BigShutUp: He prefers the word "Silence!", which he'll yell to shut up those beneath him.
* BigWhat: He tends to yell "What?!" when he hears something shocking, such as after he learns that a Crystal was stolen from an Illiop in "Tweeg's Mom".
* BillBillJunkBill: The mail-sorting version occurs in ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin'' episode "The Ying Zoo":
-->'''Quellor:''' Death threats, eviction notices, catastrophe predictions...how come I never get anything interesting?
* BreakoutVillain: Around mid-series, he replaces Tweeg as the main villain. Most fans agree that he makes a better BigBad than the latter.
* BrightIsNotGood: His outfit is partly bright gold, but he's a villain.
* BuriedAlive: In "Musical Oppressors", when he corners Teddy in a cave, he accidentally causes a rockslide that briefly buries him, though he's fine when he climbs out of it.

* CirclingBirdies: In "Teddy's Quest", after getting knocked out by Trudge's club, he lays on the ground unconscious, stars swirling over his head.
* CoolChair: As the Supreme Oppressor, he gets an ornate stone throne at the top of a flight of stairs where he can look down on everyone.
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes. When Tweeg promises Quellor that he won't fail him, right before klutzing out, Quellor says, "That would be a nice change."
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Surprisingly, when he threatens to erase Tweeg's memory, if Tweeg did not reveal him the secret gold-making formula. Tweeg rather logically pointed out, that if Quellor erased his memory, he would erase the formula, too.
* DismissingACompliment: In one episode, after getting tired of Bognostroclum's many creative honorifics titles for him, he tells him to knock off the cheap flattery.
* DuetOfDifferences: When he and Teddy are in the same boat, they sing the duet "All Locked Up" about how they want to get out of jail, but for opposite reasons: [[TheHero Teddy]] has a desire to do good for everyone, while [[BigBad Quellor]] wants out so he can bring evil.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's the most treacherous and feared villain in Grundo, and it's his goal to spread evil throughout the land, but he's also proud of the business relationship that M.A.V.O. has with the Gutangs, and when Tweeg declares war against the Gutangs for petty reasons, he's disgusted. Quellor may be the Supreme Oppressor, but he earned it by [[DoWrongRight doing wrong right]].
* EvilIsHammy: Quellor talks as big as he looks.
* EvilLaugh: Unlike Tweeg, who's just a wannabe, his deep evil laugh sounds really frightening.

* FlatYes: Delivers one to the Sorcerer in "The Big Escape" when the Sorcerer asks if Quellor expects him to hand over his star attraction Tweeg.
* GeniusBruiser: He's large, strong, and physically intimidating but also a very competent leader.
* GetOut: Twice in the series--once where he discovers his henchmen lied to him about killing Tweeg, and once after hearing them ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with his orders--he gives them a furious "Out! Out! OUT!"

He personally oversees the maiden voyage of the ''Eclipse'', the search for the Black Box, and the expedition to Ying.
* PetTheDog: He shows a surprising amount of affection toward his "pets", especially a unique gray one named Dweezil. He also sometimes thanks his underlings when they actually do something useful.
* PsychoElectro: Quellor attempts to gain this for an episode or two via a convoluted set of wires and a portable electricity generator. It doesn't end well.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His robe is dark purple, and he's the most powerful villain in Grundo.
* RibbonCuttingCeremony: The champagne bottle variant. When the M.A.V.O. airship is ready to launch, he smashes a bottle on it and christens it the ''Eclipse''.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: He can communicate with his pets.
* SpitTake: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", when he sees that Tweeg is still alive, he spits out his drink. It hits the Understander.
* SuperStrength: He's always been strong enough to lift and toss his underlings around, but when M.A.V.O.'s evil spell spreads through Grundo, he becomes so strong that he can rip a large stalactite out of a cave ceiling.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Most of his minions are either just plain stupid or annoying. He feels frustrated. He wonders what he did to deserve them.
* TapOnTheHead: In "Teddy's Quest", when he takes on all three of his henchmen, he gets knocked on the head by Trudge's club, making him pass out and wake up in a cell unharmed.
* TooDesperateToBePicky: While Tweeg and L.B. are M.A.V.O. prisoners, he's forced to give them another chance in "Anything in the Soup" because they're the only ones who are familiar with Teddy.
* VerbThis: When he catches L.B. trying to make off with the Black Box, L.B. feebly says he was taking out to be dry-cleaned. "I'll dry-clean you!"
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: For a basically charming series (for the most part), Quellor does give an ominous vibe.
* VillainNoLongerIdle: After he encounters Teddy face to face for the first time, he becomes a lot more proactive in M.A.V.O.'s activity. This is a turning point in the series when things start to get darker and more dangerous.
* VillainRespect: He praisesshe's Gimmick's inventiveness when his stolen plans allow M.A.V.O. love interest, though they don't say it out loud.
* TheMedic: The court physician who makes the antidote that cures King Nogburt's poisoning.
* NerdGlasses: Always wears square glasses.
* NewOldFlame: It's hinted that she and Gimmick have had a romantic relationship in the past, which they seem tobuild be rekindling after their own airship.
reunion.
*VillainSong: In his part of "All Locked Up", he sings about how he'd love to do evil as much as Teddy would do good.
SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She's a doctor who wears glasses.
*WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: When L.B. finds himself stuck working as his maid, Quellor says that L.B. should consider SpeechImpediment: She talks with the privilege of working for him same stutter as Gimmick. It's implied to be reward enough.
* WolverineClaws: He dons some fake long claws when he attempts to go PsychoElectro, with shocks generated from their tips.
* XRaySparks: His when his electrical power system shorts out and he gets electrocuted, he looks like a skeleton in a silhouette. This is actually the closest thing we get to seeing what he looks like under his clothes.
* YellowPurpleContrast: He wears a yellow hood, cape, and belt over a purple cloak.common among Perloons.
* AngryCollarGrab: He picks up Tweeg by
*
* BigBad: He's the ''real'' antagonist behind the entire course of the show. His ambition to collect all of the crystals and generally cause mayhem is what drives most of the show's conflict.
* BigBadEnsemble: There are several independent factions of villains in the series, so he's part of one, along
* BigShutUp: He prefers the word "Silence!", which he'll yell to shut up those beneath him.
* BigWhat: He tends to yell "What?!" when he hears something shocking, such as after he learns that a Crystal was stolen from an Illiop in "Tweeg's Mom".
* BillBillJunkBill: The mail-sorting version occurs in ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin'' episode "The Ying Zoo":
-->'''Quellor:''' Death threats, eviction notices, catastrophe predictions...how come I never get anything interesting?
* BreakoutVillain: Around mid-series, he replaces Tweeg as the main villain. Most fans agree that he makes a better BigBad than the latter.
* BrightIsNotGood: His outfit is partly bright gold, but he's a villain.
* BuriedAlive: In "Musical Oppressors", when he corners Teddy in a cave, he accidentally causes a rockslide that briefly buries him, though he's fine when he climbs out of it.
* CanonForeigner:
*
* CoolChair: As the Supreme Oppressor, he gets an ornate stone throne at the top of
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes. When Tweeg promises Quellor that he won't fail him, right before klutzing out, Quellor says, "That would be a nice change."
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Surprisingly, when he threatens to erase Tweeg's memory, if Tweeg did not reveal him the secret gold-making formula. Tweeg rather logically pointed out, that if Quellor erased his memory, he would erase the formula, too.
* DismissingACompliment: In one episode, after getting tired of Bognostroclum's many creative honorifics titles for him, he tells him to knock off the cheap flattery.
* DuetOfDifferences: When he
*
* EvilIsHammy: Quellor talks as big as he looks.
* EvilLaugh: Unlike Tweeg, who's just a wannabe, his deep evil laugh sounds really frightening.
* EvilOverlord: As the Supreme Oppressor of the Monsters and Villains Organization of Grundo, you know he's got this going on.
* EvilSoundsDeep: He has by far one of the deepest voices of any character in the series.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: Not only is his voice deep, it's raspy too, and he's the BigBad.
* FantasticHonorifics: Bognostroclum loves coming up with creative evil honorifics for him like "Your Gruesomeness", "Your Vileness", "Your Wickedness", "Your Nastiness", etc.
* FlatYes: Delivers one to the Sorcerer in "The Big Escape" when the Sorcerer asks if Quellor expects him to hand over his star attraction Tweeg.
* GeniusBruiser: He's large, strong, and physically intimidating but also a very competent leader.
* GetOut: Twice in the series--once where he discovers his henchmen lied to him about killing Tweeg, and once after hearing them ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with his orders--he gives them a furious "Out! Out! OUT!"
* AGlassInTheHand: In "The Big Escape", he crushes a goblet in his fingers.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Near the end of "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball" when he approaches L.B. to reclaim his title of Supreme Oppressor, his eyes turn a glowing yellow to show L.B. how screwed he is.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Believe it or not, Teddy and Quellor sing a duet together when they're both trapped in M.A.V.O.'s prison. They manage not to be overtly antagonistic towards each other, though Quellor's lines lamenting not having the freedom to be an EvilOverlord do creep Teddy out.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Wears a gold hood, cape, and belt to symbolize he's the leader of M.A.V.O.
* HairTriggerTemper: Do the slightest thing to annoy him and he'll go into a rage.
* HappinessIsMandatory: According to Bognostroclum, there's actually a rule in the M.A.V.O. handbook that the Supreme Oppressor must have at least fifteen minutes of fun per day.
* HarmlessElectrocution: In "The Big Escape", he gets so overloaded with electricity that you can see his skeleton. He's fine afterwards.
* HeroVsVillainDuet: Teddy and Quellor sing a duet called "No Place To Go" while they're both imprisoned in MAVO's Dungeon with, Teddy lamenting that while locked up, he's unable to help his friends, cheer people up, or explore whereas Quellor is angry he can't spread darkness, kick a [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Fob]] and make it yelp, or be cruel to his grandmother. Funnily enough while they do react to each other's verses, they manage to keep the harmony through the whole song and don't break down into any sort of insults.
* HiddenDepths: "The Hard to Find City" reveals that he can fly a plane.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After he briefly gives himself PsychoElectro powers, he thinks it's the perfect weapon. He never realized until it was too late that once the generator shorts out, the only one who'll get electrocuted is him.
* HornedHumanoid: He has two horns and looks like a tall humanoid.
* IControlMyMinionsThrough: He's an example of both Fear and Power. As the Supreme Oppressor, he is the leader of M.A.V.O. and holds the Black Box, a magical device that can erase your memory.
* IDontPayYouToThink: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", when they're trying to replicate Tweeg's gold formula, and Sludge has his doubts about the recipe, Quellor says, "I do not require you to think."
* ImprovisedWeapon: When he follows Teddy into a cave in "Musical Oppressors", he rips a stalactite out of the ceiling and uses it as a club.
* InTheHood: He always wears his hood and mask, so all we see of his face are his white eyes.
* IWantSong: "All Locked Up", a duet he shares with Teddy of all characters, is about how they both want to get out of prison, though for different reasons.
* KnightOfCerebus: Decidedly more competent than many of the other villains, things tended to get fairly serious when Quellor took part in the plot.
* LargeAndInCharge: Is easily the biggest member of M.A.V.O., though this is not the only reason he's in charge.
* LaserGuidedKarma: On his way to attack a supposedly captive and helpless Teddy, Quellor gets to be on the receiving end of his own newly acquired ShockAndAwe powers when Teddy's cage barely misses him but does nail Trudge, who is carrying Quellor's power source, severely damaging it. The resulting XRaySparks experience is poetic justice given he was probably planning to zap Teddy if he'd gotten to him.
* LetsSeeYouDoBetter: In "Leekee Lake", when an underling says he's hardly the Supreme Oppressor after he loses the Black Box, Quellor threateningly asks if he thinks he could do a better job.
* LiteralAssKicking: Kicks Drudge down a hill in frustration in "Up for Air". He also kicks L.B. out a window when he reclaims his power in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball".
* LookBehindYou: He tries to pull this on Trudge when his henchmen betray him. He didn't count on it causing a PlankGag.
* LostMyAppetite: In "The Great Grundo Ground Race", after he complains that his breakfast is moving and Trudge deals with it by smashing it with his club to, Quellor says this.
* MagicEnhancement: After all the Crystals are in the great ring and M.A.V.O.'s HatePlague spreads across Grundo, Quellor is even stronger than usual.
* MasterSwordsman: He handles his sword with great expertise, although we only see it used on non-living objects.
* MistakenForAnImposter: In "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when he returns to the meeting hall after Teddy's escape, L.B. thinks he's someone in a Quellor costume for a party and even awards him first place for the funniest costume.
* OhCrap: When he sees the power pack for his PsychoElectro abilities begin to short out, Quellor immediately tries to escape his harness, but has no luck. The last instant before the power surge hits is a closeup of Quellor's horrified face as he realizes what's about to happen, enhanced by the fact that his normally featureless eyes have been given small pupils to emphasize his feelings. You almost feel sorry for him.
* OrderedApology: After Sludge calls Trudge fat, Quellor orders him to say he's sorry.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Zig-zagged. Before he meets Teddy, he's never seen outside of M.A.V.O. Headquarters. He'd prefer to send his henchmen to do things for himself while he stays at the Headquarters, but he's not afraid to lead the charge himself. He personally oversees the maiden voyage of the ''Eclipse'', the search for the Black Box, and the expedition to Ying.

* AffablyEvil: She's usually very soft-spoken for a M.A.V.O. member, although she has her limits.
* BastardUnderstudy: She acts devoted to her superiors and the cause for a long time. She really wants to be the Supreme Oppressor, but she's willing to take her time and work behind the scenes. Late in the series, she gets tired of M.A.V.O. failing to find Teddy Ruxpin, so when everything is in place, the gloves come off and she takes over.
* BigShutUp: Delivers one of these in "Fugitives" when she gets fed up with listening her fellow M.A.V.O. women, yelling "SILENCE!"
* CunningLinguist: The legends of M.A.V.O. are carved in the stone walls of the meeting hall. Most people can't read them, so the Understander's job is to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin understand them]].
* {{Determinator}}: After she takes over M.A.V.O., she decides to put all of the organization's resources toward capturing Teddy.
* DragonAscendant: Briefly declares herself the new Supreme Oppressor, even though she doesn't have the Black Box. Ironically, she loses her position to ''another'' Dragon Ascendant, L.B., when he ''does'' have the Black Box.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: She's one of Quellor's most high-ranking servants, but she has her own motivations beyond her job. She wants Quellor's position, but we don't learn this until late in the series.
* {{Determinator}}: After she takes over M.A.V.O., she decides to devote all of their resources to finding Teddy Ruxpin and refuses to give up.
* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: She's only ever called by her title. This confuses Tweeg a bit in "Thin Ice" when the M.A.V.O. positions get reshuffled and she's no longer the Understander.
* EvilCripple: She's got a hunched back and can't walk very well. Still plenty evil.
* EvilGenius: Her job is knowing the legends and secrets of the Monsters and Villains Organization.
* EvilOldFolks: She might be the oldest member of M.A.V.O.
* EvilSoundsDeep: For a woman, she has a low, almost masculine-sounding voice, due to her voice actor being male.
* FingerExtinguisher: She blows out a candle in "Teddy's Quest" by pinching the flame in her fingers.
* GracefullyDemoted: When L.B. gets ahold of the Black Box and is declared the new Supreme Oppressor, she doesn't argue, since she's afraid of the Black Box just like everyone else. She goes back to being the Understander.
* IWantThemAlive: After Quellor dispatches his minions get Teddy dead or alive, she argues that they need him alive to get the Crystals. Quellor doesn't listen, so she conspires behind his back. After she takes over and puts out a wanted poster for Teddy, it says, "Wanted Alive".
* IWarnedYou: She suggested to Quellor that the Crystals that Tweeg brought them might be fake and is happy to remind him that they turned out to be just salt.
* ManipulativeBastard: She pulls the strings on Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge to manipulate them into helping her usurp Quellor's spot.
* MsExposition: This is literally part of her job: to explain M.A.V.O.'s goals and legends and what's so important about them.
* NoNameGiven: She's only called the Understander. When she moves up and Eleanor takes her spot, Tweeg finds it a bit confusing in "Thin Ice" when Mrs. Maggotheart tells him what's what.
* OnlySaneWoman: Surrounded by idiots, jerkasses, and power-mad tyrants, she's easily the most stable and sensible person at M.A.V.O.

* GreenAndMean: She's got sickly green skin and is particularly nasty.
* HateSink: Is probably the most despicable character in the series. She makes Tweeg looks like a boy scout.

* AintTooProudToBeg: When Quellor finds out that they lied to him about killing Tweeg, they're all willing to beg for him to spare their lives.
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Their names rhyme: Sl'''udge''', Dr'''udge''', and Tr'''udge'''. It extends to Drudge's family (see below).
* BackhandedApology: After Quellor orders Sludge to apologize for calling Trudge fat, Sludge just says, "I'm sorry you're so fat". Trudge is dumb enough to accept this.
* BlameGame: In "Autumn Adventure", when Quellor learns that they lied about killing Tweeg, they try to blame each other for coming up with the idea.
* TheBrute: They're all super-strong villains but not too bright.
* CarryABigStick: Trudge is usually seen carrying around a huge club as his weapon.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Sludge is blue, Drudge is green, and Trudge is tan.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: They do this a lot. When Quellor gives them orders and asks them if they have any questions, they ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with the topic.
* CranialEruption: In "Thin Ice", when Sludge insults Eleanor, she angrily throws her hairbrush at him and gives him a bump on the head.
* DeadpanSnarker: Drudge. He gets some of the wittiest lines of any M.A.V.O. member. When visiting Tweeg's house, he says, "For a guy who knows how to make gold, he sure lives cheap."
* DeathFakedForYou: When they fail to capture Tweeg in "A Race to the Finish", they stick some slime mold in a bottle and present it to Quellor, claiming that it's a pulverized Tweeg.
* DecoyDamsel: When M.A.V.O. accidentally kidnaps the Hermit of Leekee Lake instead of Teddy, they have Sludge dress up as the Hermit in a dungeon cell and grab Teddy when he tries to rescue the Hermit.
* TheDitz: Trudge. The other two are dumb but not quite as clueless as him.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Though they appear as early as "The Mushroom Forest", they started as generic henchmen and didn't even have names for a few episodes. As they started to appear more, they gained distinct personalities: Sludge the fiercest and the leader, Drudge the slightly more sensible DeadpanSnarker, and Trudge the strongest and dumbest.
* TheDogBitesBack: How the Understander gets them to go along with her coup, she points out Quellor's BadBoss tendencies and offers them better positions under her rule.
* DumbassHasAPoint: Sometimes, they make good points. In "Leekee Lake", Sludge suggests recruiting Drudge's cousin for deep water salvage. Quellor likes the idea. In "Winter Adventure", when Tweeg is caught and tied up, Trudge points out that they'll never get any answers from Tweeg if they gag him. In "Teddy's Quest", Drudge sees a flaw in the Understander's scheme: they can't take over if Quellor has the Black Box.
* DumbMuscle: All three qualify as far as M.A.V.O. is concerned, but Trudge serves as this for the group itself, being both the strongest and the dumbest of the trio. He's actually powerful enough that he accidentally knocks out Quellor himself when he turns around.
* EliteMooks: As Quellor's personal henchmen, they rank a cut above most mooks in M.A.V.O.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Drudge has a family in Ying that he seems to be fond of.
* ExtremeOmnivore: When Drudge was a kid, he ate his cousin's coloring book.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Drudge has a cousin named Dredge, the son of his Auntie Smudge and Uncle Grudge.
* FieryRedhead: Sludge has deep, crimson hair and the worst temper of the three.
* ForgotToMindTheirHead: It happens to Sludge while they're tearing apart Tweeg's tower for the gold formula and his head is in a cupboard.
* GeniusDitz: Drudge knows how to manipulate a reluctant relative into helping him, has been to school (someplace called Troll Tech), and is one of the only characters in the whole series to see through a PaperThinDisguise when he recognizes Teddy in his Mudblup costume.
* GoldfishPoopGang: Not really quirky enough for [[QuirkyMinibossSquad the other trope]], but they tend to show up a lot to cause trouble for the good guys.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Sludge and Drudge usually fight barehanded, although they did once briefly grab a sword and a mace respectively to use.
* GreenAndMean: Drudge is a dull shade of green.
* IAmBigBoned: When Sludge complains about Trudge being fat, Trudge insists that he is "husky".
* InterrogationByVandalism: In "Winter Adventure", the three of them come to Tweeg's tower demanding his formula for turning buttermilk into gold. When he doesn't hand it over, they tie him up and throw everything around the room. Tweeg can hardly stand to watch.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Drudge once calls Teddy "Teddy Dustbin", a name Tweeg once used.
* ManipulativeBastard: Believe it or not, Drudge. He gets his cousin Dredge to go along with M.A.V.O.'s plan by threatening him, first by bringing up Dredge's mom and then the Supreme Oppressor's Black Box.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Less due to any lack of desire to be evil and more down to their sheer stupidity.
* TheNapoleon: Sludge is the smallest but also the bossiest and most short-tempered of the three.
* NoodleIncident: Drudge once mentioned in passing that he was kicked out of Troll Tech.
* OhCrap: In "Autumn Adventure", they realize they're in big trouble when Quellor sees Tweeg still alive. Later in the same episode, they think they've caught the Trio in their Mudblup costumes, only to realize too late that they're real Mudblups.
* OnlySaneByComparison: Drudge is by a small margin the smartest and most sensible of the three, but compared to the rest of M.A.V.O., he's still an idiot.
* OrderedApology: Quellor orders Sludge to apologize for calling Trudge fat.
* OutfitDecoy: When Teddy goes to rescue the Hermit from the M.A.V.O. dungeon, he sees someone in a cell in the Hermit's rope, hood up, facing the back of the cell. It turns out to be Sludge in disguise.
* PlankGag: In one episode, while trying to make Tweeg's gold recipe, Quellor tells them to stand aside. Trudge turns around and knocks Quellor into the mixture with his club.
* PsychopathicManchild: All three are dangerous brutes and will pummel their enemies mad, but they have the mentality of children. When Quellor announces that they're going to the Ying Zoo, Drudge responds like an eager child.
* RealMenWearPink: Sludge wears pink armor.
* RememberTheNewGuy: They're not really introduced. They appear suddenly in "The Mushroom Forest" without even explaining who they are.
* RingRingCRUNCH: In "Winter Adventure", when the alarm clock in Tweeg's tower wakes them up, Sludge smashes it with his fist.
* SavageSpikedWeapons: In "Teddy's Quest", Drudge snatches a mace off a suit of armor to fight Quellor. It fit him being one of {{The Brute}}s.
* SelfDeprecation: When Drudge calls his cousin too stupid to be dishonest, he says it's a family trait.
* SimpletonVoice: They all sound this way at times, but mostly Trudge.
* SinisterSchnoz: Trudge has about the hugest nose in the show.
* TerribleTrio: They're three nasty but ineffective villains who are hardly ever seen one without the others. Sludge is the aggressive leader, Drudge is OnlySaneByComparison, and Trudge is the DumbMuscle of the three.
* VillainsOutShopping: When Quellor announces that they're going to the Ying Zoo to get Tweeg, Drudge is excited about going to the zoo. They also briefly join the good guys in a costume parade.
* VitriolicBestBuds: They don't always get along, but they stick together anyway.

* AscendedExtra: He and Louie appear more in the cartoon than in the books and have major roles in some episodes.
* AshFace: When using a flame or rocket to start a race in Wizardweek, this usually happens to him.
* TheBarnum: While not as unscrupulous as his brother, the Wizard of Grundo does fool his customers and charges a lot for his services. Though he does genuinely try to make his customers happy and satisfied.
* BigBrotherBully: He's older than the Sorcerer, and the two hate each other and call each other insulting nicknames.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: The symbol on his hat is a stylized W for "Wizard".
* CoolOldGuy: Wooly thinks he's this. While he only seems to care about money, he does act like one at times.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The Wizardweek arc focuses more on him when he throws a sports festival to bring in money.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: In "To the Rescue", when Wooly knocks it on his door, he knocks it over right onto the Wizard and leaves him SquashedFlat.
* EmbarrassingNickname: The Sorcerer calls him "Stinky". He has one for the Sorcerer too, "Bucky".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When Teddy says that "the poor princess" needs their help, he says "''Poor'' princess? Forget it!" Gimmick clarifies that Aruzia is a rich but unfortunate princess, so the Wizard changes his mind and lets them in. And that's all you need to know about him.
* EurekaMoment: In "Wizardweek", after his destroyed amusement park left him broke and depressed, hearing the word "festival" gives him a brilliant idea: hold a sports festival to honor himself and charge admission fees.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone in Grundo calls him the Wizard. His name hasn't been revealed.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Sure, he's a greedy deceiver who only helps people if they pay, but unlike his evil brother, he never harms anyone, is fair to his customers, and the information he sells is true.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Literature/LandOfOz the Wizard of Oz]]. Both are fake wizards living in a fantasy country, using ordinary devices to pass themselves off as powerful wizards. There is even a ShoutOut to it when he says [[Film/TheWizardOfOz "That's a horoscope of a different color."]]
* {{Facepalm}}: Does this when Louie misunderstands him over their radio in his first appearance.
* FakeWizardry: The Wizard does this as a schtick to attract customers. His "magic eye" is just a movie projector screen, but the technology is so rare and obscure that it's easy to fool people. Despite his fakery, all the information he provides is as true as he can make it.
* GoodCounterpart: Compared to his brother, he's a much nicer person despite being similarly greedy. While the Sorcerer of Ying makes money by exploiting people in his zoo, the Wizard genuinely tries to entertain and help people.
* IAmSong: Wooly and Leota sing a song all about who he is and what he does in "To the Rescue".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's greedy and only seems to care about money, but he does have morals that his brother lacks. During Teddy's DisneyDeath, he mourns Teddy, and in the penultimate episode, [[spoiler:he officiates L.B. and Buffy's wedding]].
* KnowledgeBroker: His main source of income is providing information for a fee. While he uses deceit to pass it off as magic, at least the information is as accurate as he's able to give.
* LadiesAndGerms: Says "Ladies and gentlemonsters" when speaking to the monsters of Ying.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's not particular about who he helps if he gets paid.
* PhonyPsychic: The Wizard is an unusual subversion. While he's something of a con artist, the information he presents to his customers is true. He claims the images he shows are the results of his magic, but they're just footage filmed by Louie.
* PointyEars: His ears are pointy, a feature that most Perloons seem to lack.
* QuarrelingSong: In "Wizardland", he and his brother sing a song that is basically a debate about who's got the better tourist attraction.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he only works for money, he's a fair judge or umpire when he oversees sporting events.
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: He fires a cannon to start the Great Grundo Ground Race and gets recoiled backwards.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Always wears a blue robe and pointed blue hat with white suns, moons, and stars all over.
* SiblingRivalry: He and the Sorcerer take this to the next level. The Wizard opens a theme park called Wizardland right across the way from the Sorcerer's own attraction the Ying Zoo, and the two constantly compete for customers.
* SloganYellingMegaphoneGuy: He uses a megaphone to announce the attractions at Wizardland to draw his brother's customers away.
* SpeechImpediment: He is a Perloon, but instead of a stutter like Gimmick and Eunice, he talks with a slight lisp.
* SquashedFlat: In "Wizardland", when he declares his new theme park open for business, the customers trample all over him and leave him flat. He's back to normal in his next scene.
* SweetTooth: He admits that he has one in "Tweeg the Vegetable" when he tries some donuts from L.B.
* TrashTalk: He and the Sorcerer enjoy doing this to each other. And they use megaphones to do it.
* WizardBeard: He has a white beard like a lot of wizards, although shorter than most.
* WizardClassic: While he's not a real wizard, he looks and acts the part as much as he can. He wears a robe, pointed hat, and white beard and lives in a fortress in the wilderness.

* ChariotPulledByCats: L.B., a bounder, usually pulls Tweeg in his wagon.

* {{Expy}}: Tweeg and L.B. are expies of [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Dick]] [[WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines Dastardly and Muttley]].

* GoKartingWithBowser: In "Win One for the Twipper" and the Wizardweek arc, they compete against the Trio in sporting events.

Double-subverted in "Grubby's Romance". Once they take a closer look at the Crystals, they think that they might be valuable...because they look like diamonds.
*NiceGirl: When she discovers Grubby has been MasterOfDisguise: Disguises seem to be the one sneaking thing they're always good at. From old ladies to little boys to smooth-talking businessmen, their ability to fool people knows no bounds.
* OhCrap: They get this reaction when something goes wrong. For example, when they follow the Trio into a cave in the Great Desert, they realize they're in trouble when they see Mudblups coming.
* PaperThinDisguise: Tweeg, being a unique hybrid, has a very distinct appearance, but people hardly ever see through his disguises unless he takes them off. But L.B. takes the cake. All he has to do is put on a hat and people are fooled.
* PluckyComicRelief: Tweeg's failed schemes and L.B.'s snark provide a lot of humor in the show. Both serve as each other's ButtMonkey, and they're the focus of comedic subplots of several episodes.

* WorkingOnTheChainGang: During their time as M.A.V.O. prisoners, they get chained together at the ankles and are forced to clean M.A.V.O. Headquarters.

* ArtsyBeret: They wear berets as part of their disguise as painters to sneak into King Nogburt's castle.

Tweeg's desire to join M.A.V.O. is just mentioned in the books to give him a motive, but in this series, it's an ongoing story arc. L.B. also has character development, and his relationship Buffy is a subplot.
* AshFace: This tends to happen to them, but mostly to Tweeg, when the cannon doesn't fire properly.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: They don't often show it, but L.B. goes for help when Tweeg gets the Tweezles, goes to Ying to find him and bring him home, and later saves him from Quellor's henchmen when they tie him up.

The other time, he's trying to take the Airship out of the final Wizardweek race, but he ends up hitting his mother's vehicle.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: It's a RunningGag. He's had boxes, cannonballs, and other things land on his foot in "The Faded Fobs", "Sign of a Friend", "The Crystal Book," In "The Black Box", and "A Race to theSurf Grunges. No surfing challenge Finish".
* AintTooProudToBeg: On several occasions, he's willing to get down on the floor and beg Quellor or his mother to have mercy.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: When Tweeg zaps himself by the Black Box, he doesn't act villainous anymore.

* AmusinglyAwfulAim: Tweeg regularly bombards Newton Gimmick's house with a cannon from his tower. However, Tweeg's aim istoo great so bad that there is a neat, clean ring of cannonballs all around Newton's house.
* AnythingButThat: The worst possible fate imaginable to him is being locked in a room with the M.A.V.O. dues collector.

* BalconyEscape: He climbs out his window down his balcony at one point, so he won't have to face Mrs. Maggotheart when she comes over. The rope breaks.
* BaldOfEvil: He's a villain who's bald. It's not clear why. Both his parents have a head full of hair, yet a cross between their races doesn't.
* BareHandedPuppetry: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he dresses his hand as an Elf named Tweegle and draws on a face so he can cause trouble in the Elf and Woodsprite Village.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite his status as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, Tweeg has twice nearly managed to start a war; once between the formerly friendly Elves and Woodsprites, and again between M.A.V.O. and the Gutangs. His actions were only stopped at the last minute both times.
* BigBadEnsemble: Part of one along with Quellor, the Mudblup King, the Sorcerer, and the Gutangs. All are independent villains of each other.
* BigDamnReunion: [[spoiler:In "Father's Day", he reunites withTweeg his father when he his father comes to meet him.]]
*CanonForeigner: Didn't appear BlankSlate: After he's had his memory erased by the Black Box, he is left with no thoughts and no personality. When Gimmick tries to use the Crystal Stethoscope on him, it doesn't register any personality traits at all.
* BlessedWithSuck: Being a cross between a Troll and a Grunge has its problems. He has his mother's evil morals but his father's skills, so he can't be both happy and successful.
* BlowingARaspberry: In the Wizardweek ground race, after the Elves and Woodsprites fix his sabotage, he blows them one in frustration.
* {{Bouncer}}: During L.B.'s reign as Supreme Oppressor, he becomes the new gatekeeper and is forced to deal with the riffraff of monsters that try to come in.
* BoundAndGagged:
** In "Uncle Grubby", when he's put on trial at M.A.V.O., he's chained up in court. He's then gagged so he can't defend himself because no M.A.V.O. trial is a fair one.
** In "Winter Adventure", Quellor's henchmen come to his tower and tie him up so they can get his gold formula. They skip the gag, though, because then he can't tell them what they want him to know.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: He often monograms his things with a big T for Tweeg.
* BuffySpeak: When he has some catapults built for war with the Gutangs, he calls them "springy things". When L.B. clarifies that they're called catapults, Tweeg thinks he's thinking of caterpillars.
* CaptivityHarmonica: Plays one after being thrown in theoriginal book M.A.V.O. dungeon. After being fed up with being locked up, he throws it in frustration.
* CardCarryingVillain: Or card-carrying villain wannabe. In Grundo, villains usually refer to themselves as villains, including Tweeg.
* CatchYourDeathOfCold: After being caught in a sudden downpour in his burned-down house, his next scene has him sneezing under a blanket with his feet in hot water.
* TheChewToy: He never seems to stop being a source of comedic pain.
* ClassyCane: In some of his disguises, he dresses as a gentleman holding an old-fashioned cane.
* ClothingDamage: Notable for how it's accomplished. After accidentally blasting himself with the black box, the now mindless Tweeg wanders off from the Hard to Find City in a ditzy daze. Next time we see him, the collar of his robe is missing, the sleeves are in tatters, andtape series.
his ankles are exposed due to the damage being out in the wild has done.
*CollectorOfTheStrange: He collects rocks ComplimentBackfire: Eleanor sets him up to fall for this. When she accuses him of calling her a liar, he denies that, but then, she gets offended by the notion that she's ''not'' a liar.
* ConMan: Swindling andother things cheating are explicitly in the M.A.V.O. list of required bad deeds. He does manage to do this in a couple of episodes, although he finds gets his comeuppance.
* ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his recipe for making gold out of buttermilk.
* CoolCrown: In a couple of {{Imagine Spot}}s, he fantasizes about wearing a royal crown. He actually gets one when he becomes the Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O. for a while.

head and gives him one.
* CreepyCrossdresser: He's a MasterOfDisguise, and a few of his disguises involve him dressing as a woman.
* CripplingTheCompetition: During a Grungeball game, when his team is losing bigtime, he tricks the Grunges into eating plants that give them awful stomachaches, and in Wizardweek, the only reason his team wins one event is he makes sure the other players can't get out of bed.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: His alleged gold recipe only ever comes out with buttermilk donuts. L.B. eventually figures out that he and the Bounders could make money if they started selling the donuts and only abandon the idea when L.B. thinks that the formula has worked. But even if selling donuts occurred to Tweeg, he probably wouldn't do it. Running an honest business wouldn't score any points with M.A.V.O.
* DastardlyWhiplash: Tweeg is known to wear a black outfit and moustache in his schemes, and is an {{Expy}} of Dick Dastardly.
* {{Determinator}}: You've got to give him credit. He sure doesn't give up his dream.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: After crossing a bridge during a race, Tweeg stopped to destroy it and even waited to see how the Wooly What's-It would cross it. And he wasn't even on the lead.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He does this all the time.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He decides to go to war against the Gutangs when their ambassador says that they can't afford the new subscription rate of ''True Villainy''.
* DisappearedDad:He left Well, sort of; Tweeg's father Elroy didn't so much "disappear" as he got divorced from (kicked out by) Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, who retained custody of their son. Tweeg knew he was still alive, but never met up with him until episode 61, "Father's Day"; they do get on very well, but, ultimately, Tweeg has too much of his wife mother in him and son he ultimately leaves his dad in shame.
* DisguisedInDrag: Sometimes he disguises himself as along time ago woman, including his first disguise ever in "In the Fortress of the Wizard".
* TheDoorSlamsYou: Another RunningGag. Eleanor did it in "Tweeg's Mom" and "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups",
* DoWrongRight: He pulls this on himself, knowing getting into M.A.V.O. means successfully filling a list of bad deeds. L.B. says that since he always fails at that, maybe he could try doing right wrong!
* DramaticDrop: In Wizardweek, while trying to make a magic potion, L.B. catches him by surprise and makes him drop and break the beaker.
* DrunkWithPower: After he becomes the Supreme Oppressor, he goes so mad with power that he actually declares war on the Gutangs. This time, he goes so far that L.B. betrays him and helps Quellor get back into power.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Tweeg desperately wants to be taken seriously as a villain, but nobody gives him even the slightest credit. Even his own minions mock him. To his ''face''.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: To Tweeg, anyway; his full name is actually Jack W. Tweeg. We never do find out what the "W" stands for, so it is possible he also has an EmbarrassingMiddleName.
* EmbarrassinglyPainfulSunburn: While lying on the beach in one episode, he ignores his father's advice to put on some lotion and gets a terrible sunburn on his nose.
* EmbodimentOfVice: When Gimmick uses the Crystal Stethoscope on him in disguise, the Crystal says the trait he embodies is greed.
* EntertaininglyWrong: When he spies on the Trio, sees that they're cooking something with buttermilk and flour, and remembers how L.B., who is a jerk and a troublemaker to him, hasn't gotten any money from him in ages, he concludes that L.B. must have sold his gold recipe to Gimmick. The Trio are just baking cookies.
* EpicFlail: He tries to use a flail in "The Crystal Book", but he accidentally breaks his mother's mirror with it and drops it on his foot. So, EpicFail of Epic Flail.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Zig-zagged. He outright says that he loves her in "Tweeg's Mom". For the rest of the series, it's questionable whether what he feels for her is genuine love, although he still wants to make her proud.
* EvilGenius: He calls himself all the time, although the genius part is questionable at best.
* EvilIsPetty: He does all kinds of petty things, such as belittling his employees, refusing to thank people who help him, and not brushing his teeth. It's established in-universe that to be a proper villain, you have to do both major and minor bad deeds.
* EvilKnockoff: In "Win One for the Twipper", he becomes one for Newton Gimmick called Winston Tweeter, wearing the exact same outfit and even having the same stutter.
* EvilLaugh: He often does this when he's happy or thinks he's being clever.
* FaintInShock: At the end of his trial in "Double Grubby", M.A.V.O. gives him a second chance to complete his checklist, but to make sure he does it right, they assign L.B. as his supervisor, which makes him faint.
* FakingAmnesia: After getting his memory restored by the Black Box in "The Big Escape", he pretends to still have amnesia for a little while to take advantage of Eleanor and L.B.
* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: He actually manages to cheat Grundo's people out of a lot of money with his Rainbow Falls water scheme, but the Trio trick him into giving the money back by making thinking he'll be even richer.
* ForgotToMindTheirHead: While working his Wizardweek chariot, L.B. calls out to him, causing him to bump his head under the chariot.
* FreudianExcuse: Tweeg sings a song about how his mother always abused him as a child and made him into the rotten guy he is today.
* GetOut: Tells this to the Bounders when he thinks that L.B. leaked out his gold formula to the Trio.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Sometimes, L.B. will make a suggestion and Tweeg will pretend he thought of it himself, such as giving everyone the Tweezles and selling a fake cure in "The Lemonade Stand".

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: In "Father's Day", Tweeg actually considers giving up on villainy and committing to the Surf Grunge lifestyle he actively enjoys... but, upon seeing his father's championship winnings, he can't resist his mother's training and steals them.

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: He's not called the world's worst shot for nothing. He's so terrible at aiming his cannon that Gimmick outright states the safest place to be when Tweeg starts shooting is right where he's aiming for. He's even taken to writing "return to Tweeg" on all his cannonballs because he loses that many of them.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: For all his antagonistic role, Tweeg just... isn't a very good villain. Even InUniverse, his "enemies" see him as more of a nuisance than an actual threat. Episode 61 actually implies Tweeg would really be happier if he gave villainy up, but he can't think of anything else to do with himself.

* LeanAndMean: He's tall, thin, and villainous.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he tricks the Elves and the Woodsprites into fighting, since the M.A.V.O. list of bad deeds includes starting a fight between perfectly good friends. He tries it again between Gimmick and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups", but Teddy solves the disagreement quickly.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Inverted. Not only does he prefer to take after his mother, but he also goes by her last name. Grunges don't have last names, though, so Elroy took Eleanor's when they married.

* MaliciousMisnaming: Not only does L.B. do it to Tweeg, Tweeg also does it to Teddy, calling him such names as "Teddy Dustbin" or "Teddy Rucksack".

* MathematiciansAnswer: When Quellor asks if he acquired the Crystals by stealing or treachery, Tweeg just gives a nervous "Yes." Quellor is pleased with thisabout answer.

* NotQuiteDead: After the ''Eclipse'' sinks into the water, Quellor wonders if Tweeg went down with it. The next scene is a shot of him and L.B. swimming away.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Although he never succeeds at doing anything too villainous, Tweeg also has a fairly ruthless streak. He actually ''sold his own mother'' to the Mudblup King as a bride in return for a trunk full of gems[[note]]although he knew the King was in love with his mother, and she herself was willing to go along with it once Tweeg thought to bribe her[[/note]], and once abducted Gimmick's pet Fob, Fuzz, in order to blackmail Gimmick into leaving the valley.
* OldTimeyBathingSuit: He wears a blue-and-yellow-striped one in "Air and WaterRaces", Eleanor says Races".
* OpportunisticBastard: He loves to seize any opportunity that pops up to get rich or commit an evil deed. Unfortunately, he doesn't think long-term, just focusing on the opportunity itself, so it rarely goes well.

* PlotAllergy: Complains when he gets covered in strawberry juice that strawberries give him a rash.

* PowderGag: In "Double Grubby", when his cannon misfires, the ball lands on the flour bag L.B. stole and leaves him covered with flour. It makes him look like an Illiop.
* ThePrankster: He turns into one in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball". When forced to greet party guests at the door, he does so with practical jokes. Apparently, M.A.V.O.'s spell of evil even made him be a better bad guy.

the synchronized swimming because he sabotaged all the other teams.
*SelfMadeMan: With ReplacedWithReplica: In "Winter Adventure", the Bounders help him escape Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge by replacing him with a dummy.

* SnakeOilSalesman: One of his favorite ways to get quick cash, either by selling dubious knickknacks imagined problems or a largely harmless "cure-all" potion that gives its drinkers spots.
* SodaCanShakeup: After stealing Grubby's root beer recipe and selling it as "Villain Up", the customers want a little more fizz. So shakes a whole barrel of it as much as he can, and it explodes, splashing everyone.
* SpeechImpediment: When dressed as a little boy selling lemonade, he uses a fake impediment to make him sound more childish, somewhere between a mild lisp and mild ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
* StaircaseTumble: He's prone to falling down his staircase. And since he lives at the top of the tower with a long, spiraling stone staircase, it's a long and painful fall.

* ThisMeansWar: During his brief reign as the Supreme Oppressor, he says this to the Gutang Ambassador.

* TheUnFavourite: He's actually an only child, and he still manages to be this in his mother's eyes.
* UngratefulBastard: One episode had Tweeg believing he had some horrible disease. The Trio, at L.B.'s request, came to the tower to help and offered folk remedies. Finally, Gimmick figured out that Tweeg had been drinking water from Rainbow Falls. Rather than be thankful his "disease" is just a temporary discoloration, Tweeg throws a fit, demanding Gimmick and company leave his tower and accusing them of using this as an opportunity to torture him and learn his secrets.
* WalkingDisasterArea: He's such a bungler that you can count episodes where he doesn't cause disaster on one hand.

* AmusinglyAwfulAim: Tweeg regularly bombards Newton Gimmick's house with a cannon from his tower. However, Tweeg's aim is
* AnythingButThat: The worst possible fate imaginable to him is being locked in a room with the M.A.V.O. dues collector.

* BalconyEscape: He climbs out his window down his balcony at one point, so he won't have to face Mrs. Maggotheart when she comes over. The rope breaks.

* BigDamnReunion: [[spoiler:In "Father's Day", he reunites with

* {{Bouncer}}: During L.B.'s reign as Supreme Oppressor, he becomes the new gatekeeper and is forced to deal with the riffraff of monsters that try to come in.
* BoundAndGagged:
** In "Uncle Grubby", when he's put on trial at M.A.V.O., he's chained up in court. He's then gagged so he can't defend himself because no M.A.V.O. trial is a fair one.

* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: He often monograms his things with a big T for Tweeg.

* TheChewToy: He never seems to stop being a source of comedic pain.

* CutLexLuthorACheck: His alleged gold recipe only ever comes out with buttermilk donuts. L.B. eventually figures out that he and the Bounders could make money if they started selling the donuts and only abandon the idea when L.B. thinks that the formula has worked.

* DoWrongRight: He pulls this on himself, knowing getting into M.A.V.O. means successfully filling a list of bad deeds. L.B. says that since he always fails at that, maybe he could try doing right wrong!

The Trio are just baking cookies.
* EpicFlail: He tries to use a flail in "The Crystal Book", but he accidentally breaks his mother's mirror with it and drops it on his foot. So, EpicFail of Epic Flail.

* EvilGenius: He calls himself all the time, although the genius part is questionable at best.
* EvilIsPetty: He does all kinds of petty things, such as belittling his employees, refusing to thank people who help him, and not brushing his teeth. It's established in-universe that to be a proper villain, you have to do both major and minor bad deeds.
* EvilKnockoff: In "Win One for the Twipper", he becomes one for Newton Gimmick called Winston Tweeter, wearing the exact same outfit and even having the same stutter.
* EvilLaugh: He often does this when he's happy or thinks he's being clever.
* FaintInShock: At the end of his trial in "Double Grubby", M.A.V.O. gives him a second chance to complete his checklist, but to make sure he does it right, they assign L.B. as his supervisor, which makes him faint.

* GrapesOfLuxury: After he is declared the new Supreme Oppressor, the first thing he orders after having Quellor locked up is for Mrs. Maggotheart to peel grapes for him to eat.
* {{Greed}}: He'll do anything if it means getting rich. In "The Crystal Book", Gimmick's new invention the Crystal Stethoscope reveals that greed is a key trait of his.
* GreenAndMean: He's bright green and a villain. He gets it from his Troll mother.
* GreenEyedMonster: Tweeg's vendetta against Gimmick is solely due to the fact that Gimmick is a brilliant inventor and creates many marvelous inventions, whilst Tweeg's perpetual quest to create a formula that will turn buttermilk into gold has never succeeded.

When his dad catches him out with them, Tweeg gives them back in shame at hurting his dad and then returns to his tower, resigning himself to villainy.
* HighHopesZeroTalent: All he really wants to be is a great villain like his mother, but since his talents come from his father's side, he's not very good at villainy.
* HiddenDepths: When reunited with his father, after being
* GoodParents: [[spoiler:When he returns, he

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He didn't seem to realize how bad his wife was until she hit his BerserkButton.
* HumbleHero: He's a legend among surfers and made a lot of money from it, but
* {{Hypochondria}}: During the Tweezle episode, he turns red with blue spots. Okay, viable reason to think you're sick. But then he starts to think he's getting other symptoms that he never had like a fever. At the end of the episode, he and the Trio sing a song about how your attitude can affect how healthy you feel.
* IAmSong: "The Black Box", he sings "I'm Tweeg" which is basically him singing about what his name is and the proper way to say it. The next episode, he gets another called "I'm the Supreme Oppressor".
* ICantLookGesture: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge ransack his tower looking for the gold formula, he scrunches his eyes and tries to look away.
* IHaveYourWife: He kidnaps Fuzz, Gimmick's pet Fob, and leaves a threatening note saying that if the Trio don't leave the valley by sundown, they'll never see him again.
* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: When he sees the result of Gimmick PalatePropping L.B., he complains, "Why am I always pulling things out of your mouth? I'm a villain, not a dentist."
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: He's not called the world's worst shot for nothing. He's so terrible at aiming his cannon that Gimmick outright states the safest place to be when Tweeg starts shooting is right where he's aiming for. He's even taken to writing "return to Tweeg" on all his cannonballs because he loses that many of them.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: For all his antagonistic role, Tweeg just... isn't a very good villain. Even InUniverse, his "enemies" see him as more of a nuisance than an actual threat. Episode 61 actually implies Tweeg would really be happier if he gave villainy up, but he can't think of anything else to do with himself.
* InaneBlabbering: After he has his memories erased, he can only babble at first. He's gradually able to speak coherently, but he still knows nothing until his memories are returned.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In "Wooly and the Giant Snowzos", Tweeg comes to the conclusion that since snowballs are sparkly, and so are the Crystals, this means the Crystals are made of snow.
* InsistentTerminology: In "The Crystal Book", he tells his mother he's not whining. He's whimpering.
* InsultBackfire: When Bognostroclum pulls a BaitAndSwitchComment that ends with insulting him, Tweeg responds that he has no time for flattery. And during the Wizardweek parade, when the crowd boos Tweeg, he takes it
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Tweeg hates the fact that M.A.V.O. has been hunting him like a
*
* LadiesAndGerms: He introduces his phony rainmaking machine by saying "Illipers and Perloons, Grundonians and Nogburtniks".
* LampshadeWearing: In "Teddy and the Mudblups", after he sneaks into Gimmick's house, he puts on a lampshade and pretends to be a lamp so he won't be noticed.
* LastNameBasis: Everyone calls him Tweeg. In fact, even his own parents don't call him Jack, though they often affectionately call him Tweegie.
* LateToTheRealization: Sometimes he takes a minute to realize something. For example, in the live-action special, L.B. has to tell him multiple times while he's busy feeling sorry for himself that the Airship is landing.
* LeanAndMean: He's tall, thin, and villainous.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: In "Elves and Woodsprites", he tricks the Elves and the Woodsprites into fighting, since the M.A.V.O. list of bad deeds includes starting a fight between perfectly good friends. He tries it again between Gimmick and Grubby in "Teddy and the Mudblups", but Teddy solves the disagreement quickly.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Inverted. Not only does he prefer to take after his mother, but he also goes by her last name. Grunges don't have last names, though, so Elroy took Eleanor's when they married.
* LiteralMinded: When Louie visits Tweeg's lemonade stand, he orders a
* MundaneObjectAmazement: He finds rocks and shells
*
* LyingFingerCross: In "Wizardweek", when Teddy wishes him good luck, he crosses his fingers behind his back while he wishes him the same.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Not only does L.B. do it to Tweeg, Tweeg also does it to Teddy, calling him such names as "Teddy Dustbin" or "Teddy Rucksack".
* ManipulativeBastard: He can be this when he wants to be. He manages to manipulate the Mudblup King into letting him go by making the king think Eleanor will marry the king, and later manipulates Quellor into letting him keep his memory in exchange for the (fake) gold formula.
* MathematiciansAnswer: When Quellor asks if he acquired the Crystals by stealing or treachery, Tweeg just gives a nervous "Yes." Quellor is pleased with this
* MedicineShow: In "The Medicine Wagon", he opens one to sell his
*
* NeverMyFault: Whenever one of his plans doesn't work, he insists that it must be L.B.'s fault.
* NoListeningSkills: He never listens to L.B. has a helpful suggestion and just brushes off L.B.'s warning that things will go wrong.
* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: Tweeg's mother, Eleanor, is a Troll, whilst his father, Elroy, is a Surf Grunge.
* NonPromotion: Eleanor, in a rare moment of kindness, recommends Tweeg for the new keeper of the gate. Tweeg is thrilled at first because it means he's an important member of M.A.V.O. but comes to hate it when he realizes how much work it involves.
* NoSenseOfDirection: When he and L.B. fall from the ''Eclipse'' and land in the water, he insists that they're swimming in the right direction to land. The shore is right behind them without them even knowing it.
* NosyNeighbor: He's always using his telescope to spy on Gimmick's house from up in his tower, thinking that Gimmick is up to something.
* NotQuiteDead: After the ''Eclipse'' sinks into the water, Quellor wonders if Tweeg went down with it. The next scene is a shot of him and L.B. swimming away.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Although he never succeeds at doing anything too villainous, Tweeg also has a fairly ruthless streak. He actually ''sold his own mother'' to the Mudblup King as a bride in return for a trunk full of gems[[note]]although he knew the King was in love with his mother, and she herself was willing to go along with it once Tweeg thought to bribe her[[/note]], and once abducted Gimmick's pet Fob, Fuzz, in order to blackmail Gimmick into leaving the valley.
* OldTimeyBathingSuit: He wears a blue-and-yellow-striped one in "Air and Water
* OpportunisticBastard: He loves to seize any opportunity that pops up to get rich or commit an evil deed. Unfortunately, he doesn't think long-term, just focusing on the opportunity itself, so it rarely goes well.
* TheParanoiac: He's got more than enough criteria to count:
** NeverMyFault: He blame others, mostly L.B., when one of his plans goes wrong while [[GladIThoughtOfIt taking credit for L.B.'s good ideas]].
** [[JadeColoredGlasses Suspiciousness / Cynicism]]: He's very suspicious of the Trio, assumes that they're out to get him, and believes that he has to lie and cheat to get what he wants.
** {{Jerkass}}: He rarely cares about anyone but himself.
** [[{{Narcissist}} Self-Importance]]: He thinks he's a genius and that it's his destiny to be the
** ConspiracyTheorist: He frequently suspects that the good guys are conspiring against him, usually to steal his gold formula.
* PatchworkKids: He's half-Troll, half-Grunge and looks it. He has the tall, humanoid build of a Grunge but has his mother's green Troll skin. And while he follows his mother's morality, he gets his father's talents.
* PieInTheFace: When M.A.V.O. finally gets the Crystals, the monsters are so happy that they have fun throwing pies around the meeting room. One hits Tweeg.
* PlotAllergy: Complains when he gets covered in strawberry juice that strawberries give him a rash.
* PolkaDotDisease: Subverted. He wakes up one morning having turned red with blue dots all over and thinks he has this. L.B. calls the condition the Tweezles. After the Trio try to help him, they figure it out that skin only changed because he drank Rainbow Falls water.
* PowderGag: In "Double Grubby", when his cannon misfires, the ball lands on the flour bag L.B. stole and leaves him covered with flour. It makes him look like an Illiop.
* ThePrankster: He turns into one in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball". When forced to greet party guests at the door, he does so with practical jokes. Apparently, M.A.V.O.'s spell of evil even made him be a better bad guy.
* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: He wears a dark purple robe. The ambiguity of purple is fitting for a guy who [[EvilWearsBlack wants to be a villain]] but [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain never quite makes it]].
* RecoiledAcrossTheRoom: This sometimes happens him when he fires his cannon. Since he lives at the top of a tower, he's prone to riding his cannon backwards down his long spiral staircase.
* RemovingTheRival: One of his favorite tactics in a competition is this. During a Grungeball game, he gives some of the other team a stomachache, allowing his own team to catch up, and in Wizardweek, the only event his team won was
*
* TheRival: He sees his
* SecondaryColorNemesis: He's green and wears purple. At one point, it's revealed that he wears orange underwear, completing the set.
* ShamedByAMob: [[spoiler:After L.B. gives his wedding vows to
* SharpDressedMan: Some of his disguises have him dressed in a
* SissyVillain: He's really skinny, crossdresses multiple times in the series, and has a voice that sounds like it never aged properly.
* SlipperySkid: In "King Nogburt's Castle", he runs onto his balcony, steps on one of his cannonballs, and rolls and crashes right through his railing.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He calls himself an EvilGenius, but he's not nearly as smart (or for that matter as evil) as he thinks he is. The times when he actually knows what he's doing in his schemes are few and far between.
* SmugSnake: A villain who thinks he's way better than he really is. He often looks smug until his plans turn sideways.
* SnakeOilSalesman: One of his favorite ways to get quick cash, either by selling dubious knickknacks imagined problems or a largely harmless "cure-all" potion that gives its drinkers spots.
* SodaCanShakeup: After stealing Grubby's root beer recipe and selling it as "Villain Up", the customers want a little more fizz. So shakes a whole barrel of it as much as he can, and it explodes, splashing everyone.
* SpeechImpediment: When dressed as a little boy selling lemonade, he uses a fake impediment to make him sound more childish, somewhere between a mild lisp and mild ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
* StaircaseTumble: He's prone to falling down his staircase. And since he lives at the top of the tower with a long, spiraling stone staircase, it's a long and painful fall.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Any time he looks like he's going to succeed doesn't last long. At one point, he becomes Supreme Oppressor, only to lose the spot by the end of the next episode.
* StickyFingers: Stealing is one of the things he has to do to join M.A.V.O. When he visits his mother and she opens her safe, he snatches a ruby. She catches him in the act but comments that he's got the right idea.
* StupidestThingIveEverHeard: He says just this about [[spoiler:L.B.'s wedding vows to Buffy]], which are really just a piece of bad poetry. The other guests give Tweeg a DeathGlare.
* SurferDude:
* TakingCandyFromABaby: This is on the checklist of bad deeds for someone who wants to join M.A.V.O. He even forces L.B. to stand in for a baby for practice. At one point, he does steal candy from baby Fobs, but Wooly was there at the time and
* TookTheWifesName: Everyone calls
* TallyMarksOnThePrisonWall: While locked up in "Autumn Adventure". It's parodied because he's actually marking off the minutes.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Apart from the Rainbow Falls lemonade fiasco, he hides a special plant that causes a belly ache in some hot dogs and tricks the Grunges
* TemptingFate: In "Beware of the Mudblups", he swears he'll get the best of Gimmick one day. "May I be struck from above if I don't." He immediately gets struck by some root stew that was dumped overboard the Airship.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: In some episodes, he announces it, such as in "Tweeg Gets the Tweezles" when he says he feels a song coming on.
* ThatsAnOrder: When he forces L.B. to scrape the slime off the bottom of the ''Eclipse'', he says that he's ordering and not asking him to do it.
* ThisMeansWar: During his brief reign as the Supreme Oppressor, he says this to the Gutang Ambassador.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Despite his many failures, occasionally, he manages to actually do something nasty that works. In "Teddy and the Mudblups", he sells out his own mother to the Mudblup King, which is a triple whammy for his checklist of bad deeds.
* TrappedTheWrongTarget: When he finds out that there's a reward for capturing Teddy, he tries to find him with a net. He hears someone coming and catches L.B. by mistake.
* TheUnFavourite: He's actually an only child, and he still manages to be this in his mother's eyes.
* UngratefulBastard: One episode had Tweeg believing he had some horrible disease. The Trio, at L.B.'s request, came to the tower to help and offered folk remedies. Finally, Gimmick figured out that Tweeg had been drinking water from Rainbow Falls. Rather than be thankful his "disease" is just a temporary discoloration, Tweeg throws a fit, demanding Gimmick and company leave his tower and accusing them of using this as an opportunity to torture him and learn his secrets.
* WalkingDisasterArea: He's such a bungler that you can count episodes where he doesn't cause disaster on one hand.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Part of the reason Tweeg is driven to become a great villain is to make his mother proud. Even little things like hearing her call him "son" fill him with joy.
* WhosLaughingNow: When he briefly becomes the new Supreme Oppressor, he basks in it by getting back at others, throwing Quellor in the dungeon and forcing Mrs. Maggotheart to feed him GrapesOfLuxury.
* WingdingEyes: After he has his memory erased, he has spirals or circles around his pupils.
* WordSchmord: In "The Black Box", Tweeg says "Screwdriver Schmewdriver" because what L.B. stole is more important than the tool he needed before.
* XanatosSpeedChess: When he quickly changes their cover from portrait painters to housepainters to infiltrate the castle, he explains to L.B. that part of being a good villain is adjusting your plans.
* YoureInsane: When M.A.V.O. is short on funds and Mrs. Maggotheart suggests selling M.A.V.O.'s gold and jewels, then-Supreme Oppressor Tweeg calls her a nut.

* LoveAtFirstSight: He once claimed that he fell for Buffy from the moment he laid eyes on her.

This often prompts Tweeg to angrily spell his name out loud. It occasionally extends to other characters too. He once called Teddy Ruxpin "Teddy Fishfin", Gimmick "Limerick", and Quellor "Queelor". Even King Nogburt himself is not immune, as he's called him "King Nogburl/Nogburn/Nosebleed".
* MisspellingOutLoud: In "The Third Crystal", when Tweeg once again clarifies that his name is spelled T-W-E-E-G, L.B. retorts that "It'll be M-U-D-D mud."
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: In "The Hard to Find City", after getting sick of Tweeg going mad with power, he makes a deal with Quellor: he'll help him get back into power if he can become his "right-hand Bounder". Quellor agrees. But to Quellor, that job amounts to being a maid for all of M.A.V.O. Headquarters. L.B. decides that Quellor treats him worse than Tweeg ever did, so he decides to get his own boss and his old job back.

* MyNewGiftIsLame: Just about everyone brings a gift to [[spoiler:his and Buffy's wedding]], but a lot of it looks like unwanted junk to him.

* NumberTwo: Among the Bounders, he's Tweeg's second in command.
* OfficialCouple: Buffy is his girlfriend [[spoiler:and eventual wife]].

* PungeonMaster: He loves making puns, usually to mock Tweeg.
* RefuseToRescueTheDisliked: Downplayed. He doesn't exactly refuse, but he's reluctant to rescue Tweeg when he falls into a pit of quicksand. He comes around when Tweeg even offers to finally pay him, but it's all for nothing when Quellor's thugs come along and pull him out.
* RememberedTooLate: In "Wizardweek", when Tweeg tries to launch himself from a catapult, he says that this time, he's accounted for both height and wind direction. "What else is there?" L.B. thinks he forgot a factor and only remembers what it is after Tweeg is launched: distance!
* RousingSpeech: Double-subverted. When he acts as a coach to the Mudblup Mashers Grungeball team, the "pep talk" he gives is anything but encouraging. But for some reason, it does give them the confidence to go out and win. As L.B. says, Mudblups are really stupid.

* SignatureLaugh: A wheezing laugh, often heard when Tweeg suffers from amusing misfortune.
* SillyLoveSongs: At the M.A.V.O. costume ball, he sings one for his girlfriend called "Your Rotten Heart, Your Ugly Face". To a villain, it's flattery, but to everyone else, the things he compares her to in the song make it seem like a silly way to be romantic.
* SlaveToPR: After he lets Teddy go from M.A.V.O., he makes it clear that he means "Don't mention it" literally because he has a reputation to uphold.
* StatusQuoIsGod: No matter what happens in the series, even if they're separated for a few episodes, he always manages to go back to working for Tweeg.

* UseYourHead: Tweeg tells him to do this to help him move a treasure chest in "Escape from the Treacherous Mountains". Just before L.B. makes contact, the treasure disappears, and he sends Tweeg flying backwards instead.

* WhosLaughingNow: After being put upon and abused for so long, he pulls this on Tweeg twice in the series. When Quellor demands that Tweeg complete the M.A.V.O. checklist of bad deeds by the next initiation day, L.B. is made his supervisor to make sure he does it. Now Tweeg has to do what he says, and L.B. takes full advantage of it. Then when L.B. becomes Supreme Oppressor, he makes Tweeg do humiliating tasks like delivering party invitations.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: L.B. is terrified of ''Fobs'. You know, those cute little rainbow-hued fluffy guys? That's like being afraid of a declawed kitten.
* WinOneForTheGipper: In the episode appropriately titled "Win One for the Twipper", he gives a villainous version to the Mudblup Mashers. It gives them confidence, but it doesn't work because the other team is just too good for them. The Mashers only catch up when Tweeg sabotages the competition.
* YouDontWantToCatchThis: When Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge grab Tweeg and try to take him back to Quellor, L.B. saves him by telling them that Tweeg has a fatal, contagious disease called Woofinpoof disease. This scares them away.

* BeachKiss: In "On the Beaches", [[spoiler:after L.B. proposes to Buffy, they kiss and are struck by a wave, which makes their kiss seem more powerful]].
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason why he manages to become a FriendlyEnemy to Teddy is because Teddy treated him a lot nicer than any villain ever did. Teddy even saved his life.
* BeleagueredAssistant: L.B. is constantly put upon, cleaning house, pulling the wagon, and basically doing whatever his boss tells him to. Rarely does Tweeg show any appreciation for what he does, let alone even pay him. L.B. grumbles but never seems to quit.
* BenevolentBoss: L.B. during his brief run as the head of M.A.V.O., his first (and only) major order is to hold a massive party and invite all members across Grundo to attend. He is also this to the gang of Bounders, even going using his wedding present to give them the backpay they're owed from Tweeg when he could have easily kept it.
* BerserkButton: L.B. constantly puts up with getting insulted and abused by Tweeg, but in "Anything in the Soup", when Tweeg insult L.B.'s girlfriend, that is going too far.

* BlowingARaspberry: Does this to Eleanor in "Tweeg's Mom" after she calls him an overgrown tomato.

->'''Tweeg:''' There must be something I can do wrong! What am I doing right?\\

* DudeWheresMyReward: L.B. often complains about how Tweeg doesn't pay him for months at a time. Then, after

* FriendlyEnemy: He works for Tweeg, but he doesn't really consider Gimmick or the others to be his actual enemies; [[PunchClockVillain he's simply doing his job]]. Late in the series, it's implied that he and Teddy could actually be friends if L.B. wasn't working for a villain.
* TheGadfly: Mostly towards Tweeg. He makes wisecracks at his expense because he loves to get a rise out of him.
* GettingTheBoot: After he gets caught trying to steal the Black Box in "Octopede Sailors", he's thrown out the M.A.V.O. Headquarters door and lands in the mud.
* GooGooGetup: In "Sign of a Friend", when Tweeg needs to practice taking candy from a baby, he forces L.B. to put on a bonnet and sit in a pram.
* HandyFeet: Bounders ''can'' do this, but they rarely do because it's hard for them to stand on one foot. Mostly, they use their mouths or horns to hold things.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Occasionally, when Tweeg is actually listening to L.B. for a change, he'll admit that L.B., for all of his insults and complaints, has a point. For example, when Tweeg gets a load of gold in "Through Tweeg's Fingers", L.B. points out he may not get a chance to show it to Quellor once Eleanor sees the gold.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's the most treacherous and feared villain in Grundo, and it's his goal to spread evil throughout the land, but he's also proud of the business relationship that M.A.V.O. has with the Gutangs, and when Tweeg declares war against the Gutangs for petty reasons, he's disgusted. Quellor may be the Supreme Oppressor, but he earned it by [[DoWrongRight doing wrong right]].

* GeniusBruiser: He's large, strong, and physically intimidating but also a very competent leader.
* GetOut: Twice in the series--once where he discovers his henchmen lied to him about killing Tweeg, and once after hearing them ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with his orders--he gives them a furious "Out! Out! OUT!"

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Near the end of "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball" when he approaches L.B. to reclaim his title of Supreme Oppressor, his eyes turn a glowing yellow to show L.B. how screwed he is.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Believe it or not, Teddy and Quellor sing a duet together when they're both trapped in M.A.V.O.'s prison. They manage not to be overtly antagonistic towards each other, though Quellor's lines lamenting not having the freedom to be an EvilOverlord do creep Teddy out.

* HairTriggerTemper: Do the slightest thing to annoy him and he'll go into a rage.

* HeroVsVillainDuet: Teddy and Quellor sing a duet called "No Place To Go" while they're both imprisoned in MAVO's Dungeon with, Teddy lamenting that while locked up, he's unable to help his friends, cheer people up, or explore whereas Quellor is angry he can't spread darkness, kick a [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Fob]] and make it yelp, or be cruel to his grandmother. Funnily enough while they do react to each other's verses, they manage to keep the harmony through the whole song and don't break down into any sort of insults.
* HiddenDepths: "The Hard to Find City" reveals that he can fly a plane.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After he briefly gives himself PsychoElectro powers, he thinks it's the perfect weapon. He never realized until it was too late that once the generator shorts out, the only one who'll get electrocuted is him.
* HornedHumanoid: He has two horns and looks like a tall humanoid.
* IControlMyMinionsThrough: He's anold friend example of Teddy's. Their friendship must both Fear and Power. As the Supreme Oppressor, he is the leader of M.A.V.O. and holds the Black Box, a magical device that can erase your memory.
* IDontPayYouToThink: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", when they're trying to replicate Tweeg's gold formula, and Sludge has his doubts about the recipe, Quellor says, "I do not require you to think."
* ImprovisedWeapon: When he follows Teddy into a cave in "Musical Oppressors", he rips a stalactite out of the ceiling and uses it as a club.
* InTheHood: He always wears his hood and mask, so all we see of his face are his white eyes.
* IWantSong: "All Locked Up", a duet he shares with Teddy of all characters, is about how they both want to get out of prison, though for different reasons.
* KnightOfCerebus: Decidedly more competent than many of the other villains, things tended to get fairly serious when Quellor took part in the plot.
* LargeAndInCharge: Is easily the biggest member of M.A.V.O., though this is not the only reason he's in charge.
* LaserGuidedKarma: On his way to attack a supposedly captive and helpless Teddy, Quellor gets to be on the receiving end of his own newly acquired ShockAndAwe powers when Teddy's cage barely misses him but does nail Trudge, who is carrying Quellor's power source, severely damaging it. The resulting XRaySparks experience is poetic justice given he was probably planning to zap Teddy if he'd gotten to him.
* LetsSeeYouDoBetter: In "Leekee Lake", when an underling says he's hardly the Supreme Oppressor after he loses the Black Box, Quellor threateningly asks if he thinks he could do a better job.
* LiteralAssKicking: Kicks Drudge down a hill in frustration in "Up for Air". He also kicks L.B. out a window when he reclaims his power in "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball".
* LookBehindYou: He tries to pull this on Trudge when his henchmen betray him. He didn't count on it causing a PlankGag.
* LostMyAppetite: In "The Great Grundo Ground Race", after he complains that his breakfast is moving and Trudge deals with it by smashing it with his club to, Quellor says this.
* MagicEnhancement: After all the Crystals are in the great ring and M.A.V.O.'s HatePlague spreads across Grundo, Quellor is even stronger than usual.
* MasterSwordsman: He handles his sword with great expertise, although we only see it used on non-living objects.
* MistakenForAnImposter: In "M.A.V.O. Costume Ball", when he returns to the meeting hall after Teddy's escape, L.B. thinks he's someone in a Quellor costume for a party and even awards him first place for the funniest costume.
* OhCrap: When he sees the power pack for his PsychoElectro abilities begin to short out, Quellor immediately tries to escape his harness, but has no luck. The last instant before the power surge hits is a closeup of Quellor's horrified face as he realizes what's about to happen, enhanced by the fact that his normally featureless eyes have beena given small pupils to emphasize his feelings. You almost feel sorry for him.
* OrderedApology: After Sludge calls Trudge fat, Quellor orders him to say he's sorry.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Zig-zagged. Before he meets Teddy, he's never seen outside of M.A.V.O. Headquarters. He'd prefer to send his henchmen to do things for himself whileback because he stays at the Headquarters, but he's not afraid to lead the charge himself. He personally oversees the maiden voyage of the ''Eclipse'', the search for the Black Box, and the expedition to Ying.
* PetTheDog: He shows a surprising amount of affection toward his "pets", especially a unique gray one named Dweezil. He also sometimes thanks his underlings when they actually do something useful.
* PsychoElectro: Quellor attempts to gain this for an episode or two via a convoluted set of wires and a portable electricity generator. It doesn'tknow Grubby at first.

* MrExposition: [[spoiler:When the TrioPurpleIsPowerful: His robe is dark purple, and Burl return to Rillonia, he tells them that the village is having a Burl Ruxpin Day in honor of Teddy's father even though the villagers don't know that Burl is back yet.]]
* StarstruckSpeechless: He has trouble speaking whenhe's thrilled the most powerful villain in Grundo.
* RibbonCuttingCeremony: The champagne bottle variant. When the M.A.V.O. airship is ready tomeet [[spoiler:Teddy's legendary father Burl]].launch, he smashes a bottle on it and christens it the ''Eclipse''.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: He can communicate with his pets.
* SpitTake: In "Teddy Ruxpin's Birthday", when he sees that Tweeg is still alive, he spits out his drink. It hits the Understander.
* SuperStrength: He's always been strong enough to lift and toss his underlings around, but when M.A.V.O.'s evil spell spreads through Grundo, he becomes so strong that he can rip a large stalactite out of a cave ceiling.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Most of his minions are either just plain stupid or annoying. He feels frustrated. He wonders what he did to deserve them.
* TapOnTheHead: In "Teddy's Quest", when he takes on all three of his henchmen, he gets knocked on the head by Trudge's club, making him pass out and wake up in a cell unharmed.
* TooDesperateToBePicky: While Tweeg and L.B. are M.A.V.O. prisoners, he's forced to give them another chance in "Anything in the Soup" because they're the only ones who are familiar with Teddy.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: For a basically charming series (for the most part), Quellor does give an ominous vibe.
* VillainNoLongerIdle: After he encounters Teddy face to face for the first time, he becomes a lot more proactive in M.A.V.O.'s activity. This is a turning point in the series when things start to get darker and more dangerous.
* VillainRespect: He praises Gimmick's inventiveness when his stolen plans allow M.A.V.O. to build their own airship.
* VillainSong: In his part of "All Locked Up", he sings about how he'd love to do evil as much as Teddy would do good.
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: When L.B. finds himself stuck working as his maid, Quellor says that L.B. should consider the privilege of working for him to be reward enough.
* WolverineClaws: He dons some fake long claws when he attempts to go PsychoElectro, with shocks generated from their tips.
* XRaySparks: His when his electrical power system shorts out and he gets electrocuted, he looks like a skeleton in a silhouette. This is actually the closest thing we get to seeing what he looks like under his clothes.

* AngryCollarGrab: He picks up Tweeg by the collar and throws him across the room to convince him to hand over his gold formula.

* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Drudge and Dredge's names are almost identical.
* CanonForeigner: Didn't appear in the original book and tape series.

Then, when he tries to stop the Sub-Water Boat, Teddy presses a button that releases an even bigger shock.
* HybridMonster: Based on his appearance and relationship to Drudge, he must be the offspring of a Troll and some kind of cephalopod-like monster.
* KnottyTentacles: While he's chasing Teddy around the wreck of the ''Eclipse'', he sticks two of his tentacles through the portholes, causing Teddy to tie them in a knot.
* NervesOfSteel: Subverted. While M.A.V.O. is waiting for Dredge to come back up, Quellor suggests that he might have met his match down there. Drudge denies this and states the trope name exactly. Just then, Dredge leaps out of the water in terror.
-->'''Quellor:''' Nerves of steel, eh?\\

* OddNameOut: He's the only known member of his family whose name doesn't rhyme. His parents are Smudge and Grudge, and his cousin is Drudge.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: The reason Dredge is reluctant to help his cousin? When they were kids, Drudge ate his coloring book! Even after all these years, Dredge hasn't forgiven him.
