Characters

Other T.U.F.F. agents (besides the main characters) made appearances throughout the series; however, most of these agents have no speaking roles yet.

T.U.F.F.

Physiologically, the buttocks enable weight to...

    . Keswick's DNA analyzation shows that Dudley is the "perfect mix of every breed of dog known to man." Since each breed of dog has a special trait, (Bloodhound's sensitive nose, Greyhound's speed, German Shepherd's bravery and a "splash" of Billy Goat which cannot be explained, even by Keswick) Dudley's overall "natural" skills makes him a formidable agent. Dudley is also quite gluttonous and childish which often is displayed by his lack of self control whenever he's hungry. However, despite his eccentric personality; his bravery and natural skills are an asset to T.U.F.F. in times of need. His catchphrase is "Hi gee gee," and he often speaks it whenever he's ready to jet out of the area. In "Thunder Dog," he's shown to be afraid of thunder, but quickly overcomes it with Kitty's help. However, it is also revealed he's afraid of the dentist

    ) - is T.U.F.F.'s number one agent and is Dudley's partner and best friend. Skilled in various fighting styles and use of firearms, short tempered, and easily startled, this feline is a force to be reckoned with. Not much is known about her past yet; but a few episodes mention that her birthdays as a child have been horrendous, and she spent eight years in Secret Agent College. Being a cat, she naturally fights with Dudley on various occasions; usually in kiddish slap fights as if they were siblings. However, as the episodes progressed, she warms up more and more to Dudley as he presents his courage, skill, and respect for her and T.U.F.F. and they later become heartfelt friends. She often wears a black spy suit over her white turtle neck, white boots, a white hairband, and white gloves-although she has been seen in other various disguises. In "Forget Me Mutt," it reveals that she has a crush on a Water Delivery Guy.

 and eats any bug he sees, a trait used against him several times. His relationship with D.O.O.M. seems rather strained, since he tends to work separately from the others and once planned for them and T.U.F.F. to destroy each other. He said he wanted to go to D.O.O.M.'s weekly ice cream socials, but he's never invited. As a running gag, he often tries to wear a pair of special glasses or goggles, only to have his eyes go around or through them. He can sometimes be very random when disguised. (i.e. In "Internal Affairs," he tells the soldiers semper fi and to remember the Alamo.) Oddly, whenever the story has him needing to use a disguise for a long time as a major plot point, his voice is never disguised, despite him being able to disguise it during the short disguises in other episodes. Another oddity is that Dudley can never tell when or what the Chameleon is diguised, despite the dog having the sensitive nose of a bloodhound.

Bat is suggested to be blind, although he occasionally does his job exactly as told, implying that he has some vision and he is apparently slightly smarter than Owl.
