History Characters / WallaceAndGromit

* KarmicButtMonkey: Nothing ''ever'' goes right for Victor Quartermaine, especially during the climax. Aside from failing to poach the Were-Rabbit, he also gets sprayed in the face with weed killer, knocked into a cotton candy machine, and finally stuffed into a Were-Rabbit suit before getting chased away by an angry mob. Of course, given what a nasty person he is, all this happens after he's done something to deserve it.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her comment about changing rabbit's minds leads to the events of the movie to take place.

* OnlySaneMan: Surprisingly. He's definitely hammy and an asshole, but he's not stupid.

* HeroesWantRedheads: She is a redhead and Wallace falls for her.

* CivilizedAnimal: He's usually depicted as walking upright, and is capable of creating and operating complex machinery. Generally he's shown to be ''significantly'' more shrewd and sensible than his master. However, despite all of this, everyone treats him the same as you treat ''any'' dog. He has both a room in the house and a kennel in the yard, and walks on two or four legs as the plot requires. He's also been shown to eat from a dog dish or at a human table on different occasions.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: He has SuperStrength and is incredibly fast. He's also a transformed Wallace.

* BaitAndSwitch: His introduction has him walking up to Wallace's window behind him in a menacing manner with a mean expression and tense music, but it's then shown he's very polite and just wants to place a honey order.

%%* ViolentGlaswegian:

* BitchInSheepsClothing: He opens up a fundraiser on the claims of rebuilding a dog shelter. It's actually a scam to swindle money out of the townsfolk and use actual strays as labor for the rides.

* BigEater: In the third chapter, she proudly beats Major Crum in a pie eating contest (in a most ladlylike fashion, of course!).

%%* BrokenPedestal

* DisproportionateRetribution: She lost her job as the Bake-o-Lite bakery spokeswoman when she became too heavy to use the balloon featured in all their commercials. Because of this, [[spoiler: she decides to murder a baker's dozen worth of bakers to punish all bakers for producing the rich foods that she got fat eating.]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler: Being eaten alive by crocodiles at the zoo, after she weighs down the balloon on which she's attempting to escape. Thankfully GoryDiscretionShot is in play.]]
* FatBitch: She's very hefty and is also [[spoiler:a petty and twisted SerialKiller]].
* FatComicRelief: [[spoiler: Though one of the darkest villains in the series, they still manage to make a fair amount of humor concerning her weight problem.]]

%%* KarmicDeath

* SerialKiller: [[spoiler: She was responsible for the deaths of twelve bakers, all for a petty reason, no less]].

* StartOfDarkness: Piella being forced to do all those promotional stunts with bakers and their confections, utterly destroyed her figure. Her treasured career followed soon after. [[spoiler: Now she lives only to exact vengeance on all bakers.]]

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Possibly caused by her VillainousBreakdown, she still thinks that the Bake-O-Lite balloon could carry her away despite her increase weight. This becomes her undoing as unfortunately not only was the balloon being weighed down by her, but it's descending right into a ''crocodile enclosure'']].
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: As more and more interruptions get in the way of Piella completing her baker’s dozen, her veneer of sanity begins to flake away with it. By the end, Piella is reduced to ranting and raving at the duo while attempting to escape on her Bake-O-Lite balloon, and when it inevitably fails to support her weight she falls to her death in complete denial of her detriment.]]

!!Grand Adventures characters

* {{Bookworm}}: He seems to have a significant interest in encyclopaedic, classical and philosophical literature. In addition to ''Electronics for Dogs'', his bookshelves feature titles such as ''Kites'', ''Sticks'', ''Sheep'', ''Penguins'', ''Rockets'', ''Bones'', and ''Stars'', while he is seen reading ''The Republic'' and ''Literature/CrimeAndPunishment''.
* BullyingTheDragon: Often the recipient. Nearly every villain sees Gromit as a mere scapegoat or hypotenuse to their big scheme, and tries to frame him or otherwise drive him out of the way as their first course of action, often in a very KickTheDog manner. Gromit is pretty much always the main reason their plans are foiled, often supplying them a humiliating comeuppance on top as payback for everything they put him through.

* LazyBum: In "Shopper 13", Wallace builds an automated trolley to do his groceries for him. However, when the trolley drops an edam cheese in the front yard, Wallace orders Gromit to retrieve it by sending out Shaun who obviously just eats it. Instead of just going out to grab the cheese, Wallace then orders Gromit to take care of it but Gromit refuses.

* NotSoStoic: Despite his lack of facial expressions, he's not immune to stress as seen during his heist at the museum, where he's seen sweating profusely when things get more difficult that he planned such as when his teleguided claw misses the diamond or when it fell of it or when the ceiling malfunction causes Wallace to smip and activates the alarm. Despite this he still manages to keep his nerves enough to regain control of the situation and of escaping with the diamond.

A mysterious machine resembling a 1940s coin-operated cooking range which lives on the moon and stops visitors from littering. Deep down, it really wants to go to Earth so that it can become a skier. After Wallace and Gromit arrive on the moon, it first attempts to crash their picnic, but after realizing they came from Earth in a rocket attempts to hitch a ride back with them. Unfortunately, its [[TheVoiceless inability to communicate]] means Wallace thinks that it's trying to kill him and Gromit and they take off without him. Luckily, the end to its story isn't all bad, as it manages to construct skis out of scrap metal from Wallace's rocket and now goes skiing among the moon's cheese dunes.

* TheVoiceless: No dialogue whatsoever.

* EvilCounterpart: To Gromit. Both of them are [[IntellectualAnimal Intellectual Animals]] who [[TheVoiceless never say a word]]. However, Gromit is unshakably loyal to Wallace, while Feathers [[spoiler: only befriends Wallace as a means of getting rid of Gromit and using Wallace as a means of stealing a priceless diamond.]]

* TheVoiceless: Feathers does not speak.

* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler: Discovering the Were Rabbit is Wallace, who has been gaining Lady Tottington's affections, only makes him even more vehement about blowing its brains out.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: He's extremely snobby and stuffy, never passes any opportunity to mock Wallace, particularly for his humane pest control methods, [[spoiler: and doesn't hesitate to try and kill the Were-Rabbit when he realises it's actually Wallace.]]

* KarmicButtMonkey: Nothing ''ever'' goes right for Victor Quartermaine, especially during the climax. Aside from failing to poach the Were-Rabbit, he also gets sprayed in the face with weed killer, knocked into a cotton candy machine, and finally stuffed into a Were-Rabbit suit before getting chased away by an angry mob. Of course, given what a nasty person he is, all this happens after he's done something to deserve it.

* TheUnfettered: Preston, already TheStoic to a creepy level, is completely cold-blooded about rustling and mincing sheep, framing an innocent dog for it, and even throwing his guilt ridden owner into the mincer to keep her quiet, all for the sake of his own dog food franchise. Justified as [Preston is a malfunctioning robot whose only focus is to make profit to pay off his late owner's debts.

* ContinuityNod: An odd case in that pretty much ''every single'' line of dialogue spoken by him is a quote taken either from earlier in ''The Curse of the Were-Rabbit'', or from one of the three shorts preceding it.

* ADogNamedDog: It resembles an old-timey gas cooker, which is the name it's been given in most media since.

* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: It seems to view itself as a police officer, keeping the moon safe and clean from what it perceives as vandalism and littering. Towards the end, its goal becomes to reach Earth and become an alpine skier.
