A gentlemanly racer in the Turbo Terrific who's extremely strong but also very vain, and he often boasts about the virtues of his high-tech race car - which regularly falls to pieces seconds after he praised it. He is fond of Penelope and often helps her.

* CaptainErsatz: Of [[Series/TheMunsters Herman Munster and Grandpa]] - a big phlegmatic FrankensteinsMonster and a creepy little vampire.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite their macabre nature, they're actually among the racers who are more likely to help their competitors out of trouble. Justified in that the Creepy Coupe is behind only the Convert-a-Car and the Mean Machine in terms of resources; Pat Pending will usually help everyone else with gusto and ease, whereas Dick Dastardly, well, won't.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: The Crimson Haybailer is this in the Dreamcast/[=PS2=] game. It's always hovering just off the ground -- like the other racers temporarily can when using a power-up that grants flight -- so it has minimal traction, but can easily circumnavigate terrains such as deep water to clear gaps and use shortcuts. It also gets a power-up that causes it to temporarily land and drive on the ground; the polar opposite to all the other cars.

* LightningBruiser: In the Dreamcast/[=PS2=] game, the Mean Machine is among the fastest vehicles and has great acceleration -- along with a good spread of weapons -- but had the worst handling.

* ObviouslyEvil: [[SmugSnake Smug]] grin, stereotypical [[DastardlyWhiplash villainous mustache]], and [[CardCarryingVillain his car of choice is the]] ''[[CardCarryingVillain Mean]]'' [[CardCarryingVillain Machine]] -- Dastardly [[DownplayedTrope isn't "evil" per se]], but he's clearly not a good guy.
* OnlySaneMan: ZigZagged in bizzare fashion -- compulsive cheating aside, Dastardly and Muttley are the most likely to [[HowIsThatEvenPossible note the ludicrousness of other racer's antics]], see through lame tricks like the Ant Hill Mob's [[PaperThinDisguise Paper-Thin Disguises]], and point out that everyone ''else'' is technically cheating too.

Added DiffLines:

* PunnyName: Their car, the "Chuggabug", is a play on words of the "Doodlebug", a colloquial term for improvised tractors made out of old cars, popular during the 1940's due to [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo the war]] making factory-produced tractors in short supply. Much like Doodlebugs, the Chuggabug appears to be an older Ford Model-T or similar car with a custom body in place of its chassis.

* SpeechImpairedAnimal: Muttley's mutterings, giggles and growls are probably the TropeCodifier. Although he occasionally has a few moments of speaking, notably in "Mish Mash Missouri Dash", when Dastardly instructs him to put the Mean Machine back together, after his trademark {{Anguish}} grumbling, he begins muttering in the style of the song "Dem Bones", "Grrrrseddasassarassa, Da side bolt connected to da front bolt... da front bolt connected to da back bolt... da back bolt connected to da neck bolt... da rrrr...."
