10* CartoonCreature: Despite being referred to as a coyote, he barely resembles one. In the first two seasons he was earless, and even then in the third season he has round ears instead of pointy ones.
11* HappyHarlequinHat: Though his hat is pure red and combined with a poncho-like garment.
12* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As cocky and sarcastic and as hot-blooded as he is, he's a very caring and kind-hearted character.
13* KidAppealCharacter: He is the childish and the funloving one.
14* MeaningfulName: Named after yoyo toy, which fits in his bouncy nature.
15* RedOniBlueOni: Red, as fiery natured Yoyo is to more calm Doc Croc.
16* VagueAge: Yoyo is clearly younger than Doc Croc, but it is hard to determine is he adolescent or a young adult. It also doesn't help that he has a very childish voice in the German dub. Although, considering the fact that he is allowed to drink wine multiple times throughout the series, it should be safe to assume that he is at the very least an adult.

32* InsistentTerminology: Averted; while he does introduce himself as '''"Doctor Croc"''' he doesn't insist being called by that title.
33* IronicName: His name ''Croc'' is just a shortened from the word "''crocodile''", which as animals [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile are fearsome]] and large. Meanwhile Doc Croc is pretty small and a friendly lizard.
34* ALizardNamedLiz: Averted; his name is shortened from a "''crocodile''" and while he is a reptitle he is not related to crocodiles.
35* LovableLizard: One reason might be because he was originally a plush toy.
