* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: In ''ComicBook/ALittleSomethingSpecial'', his idea for Scrooge's "fondest wish" was a machine that could turn grass trimmings into gold, but it never made it past the drawing board. Not because it wouldn't work, but because Gyro quickly realized it'd destroy the gold market, which is the opposite of what Scrooge would want.

* CasanovaWannabe: DependingOnTheWriter to a pretty heavy degree. Creator/DonRosa certainly portrays him as such, and there are a number of Dutch stories centering around him trying and failing to impress various girls. Even in the Brazilian comic, where he has his own fixed girlfriend, he does quite a fair bit of skirt-chasing (although it never ends well for him).

* ExpressiveSkull: Despite his head being nothing but a featureless lightbulb, the filaments inside serves as a kind of "eyes" that allows Helper to make some limited expressions.



* KilledOffForReal: In ''ComicBook/TheDuckWhoNeverWas'', where he's permanently broken and Gyro no longer has the intelligence to fix him.



* RobotBuddy: With a lightbulb for a head. As revealed in one of Don Rosa's stories, he was originally just an ordinary table lamp that was exposed to the rays of Gyro's prototype "think box" used in one of Carl Barks's earliest Gyro stories, which animated him and gave him sentience. After Gyro initially gave him a set of wheels to allow him to explore a small hole leading to a cavern where all of Scrooge's money had fallen into when the foundations of his money bin gave out, he then replaced the wheels with arms and legs, and the rest is history.

Added DiffLines:

* BroughtDownToNormal: In "The Duck That Never Was", an alternate universe where Donald was never born, Gyro permanently lost his genius due to the events of "The Think Box Bollix", leaving him with average intelligence. While this not only left him unable to invent anything else ever again, forcing him to take over Grandma Duck's farm after she retired (even though he really isn't suited for manual labor), it also cost him Little Helper once it broke down, and he was no longer able to repair it.


Added DiffLines:

* ComicallySmallDemand: While Gyro's fees can be anything from a few bucks to ''tens of millions of dollars'', 99.9% of that will be the cost of materials, and his own personal fee rarely goes over $50. Money means almost nothing to him other than as means to create his inventions.


Added DiffLines:

* NonHumanSidekick: Little Helper, who was originally a table lamp belonging to Donald until it was exposed to one of Gyro's Thinking Boxes and given sentience. Gyro modified it with arms and legs, and it's served as his assistant and best friend ever since.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He's an outside observer who only sees Scrooge, Donald and the other characters during the start of their adventures, thinking they're off chasing silly legends. He's never around to see that all of it is actually real.



* NoNameGiven: While he only interacts briefly with the Duck family, not even Glomgold seems to know his name, despite hiring him.



* VagueAge: It's unclear just how old he is, but he looks incredibly ancient, and his father was at the very least around in the late 1800's, when Professor Rhutt Bettlah died during his return journey from Plain Awful.
