When tracked down for their final encounter she claims to have worked out ''why'' he has magic and offers to reveal things Sips does not know or had forgotten. Sips ignores the offer and the secrets die along with her.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfPUcG3oCmXEYgdFuwlFh8w Dingo Doodles]]'' is an animation channel hosted by Dingo, the founder of ''[[http://www.electricbunnycomics.com/View/Comic/221/DnD+NPC+dilemma Electric Bunny Comics]]''. Inspired by the likes of ''WebAnimation/PuffinForest'' and ''WebAnimation/AnimatedSpellbook'', Dingo creates animated stories based around her personal life as well as her ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' campaign, titled "Fools' Gold". Initially beginning in October 2017, Dingo quickly garnered a lot of popularity, much to her shock. Her channel and her web comic can be found in the links above.

----
!!''Dingo Doodles'' provides examples of:

* AbsurdPhobia: Dingo herself has a bit of a bad history with water. How bad a history? Her mother once had to fight a kicking and screaming 10 year old Dingo for ''35 minutes'' to get into a canoe.
* ActionGirl: The two female characters in the Fools' Gold campaign, Erina and Gothi.
** Not to mention the villain of the first five episodes, Quinn-Ora.
* {{Adorkable}}: Dingo, especially in the early videos, had a tendency to stumble over some of her words, which just endeared a lot of people to her. And then there was the time she got excited over the Humblewood campaign kickstarter, in which she started to freak out over the bird characters. Needless to say, her initial awkwardness and excitability have had many people consider her one of the most adorable Website/YouTube creators out there.
* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Sips sang drunken karaoke so badly, in Dingo's eyes, that he kickstarted the apocalypse by waking up the Tarrasque that was sealed away under the town of Alchemist Quarry.
* AllJustADream: The Halloween episode. The mansion the group was trapped in is real, as are the scars from the fights they got into, but the event itself was a magically induced dream that Sips, Erena, and Gothi all shared. They decide to destroy the mansion with the giant mech dragon just to be sure.
* AlphaBitch: Quinn-Ora, the villain of the first five episodes of Fools' Gold.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Erina can come across as this. In episode 8, she practically leaps at the chance to flirt with the baron to act as a distraction for the rest of the party, while in episode 9 she specifically states her intention to date the (female) Abby. It can still be considered ambiguous, since in both cases something else could be thought of as the main reason for her actions. With the baron, helping the party with something she seems to find fun could be what she's really thinking about rather than actually trying to get anywhere with him, while with Abby it should be kept in mind she's a 3 foot tall anthropomorphic red panda that everyone finds adorable, so wanting to keep her around could be considered a natural impulse.
* AmbiguousSpecies: Sneeze is Sips’ best and oldest friend, and no one, not even the DM, knows what he is.
* AnArmAndALeg: Sips gains sentience and magic powers by having his right arm cut off and replaced with a crocodile hand.
* AndTheAdventureContinues: Quinn-Ora was defeated, but Sneeze was dead, so now Sips and Gothi have to go on a quest to get Sneeze's soul back.
* AnythingButThat: Sips tries to convince Erina against calling Mr. Wizardly to help them figure out how to get Sneeze's soul out of a crystal. When Erina ignores him, Sips just screams.
* AxCrazy: Sips has a bit of a temper. This conversation between him and Erina involving an NPC named Belmont pretty much sums it up.
-->'''Sips:''' I knew I should have murdered him.\\
'''Erina:''' You think you should murder everyone all the time.\\
'''Sips:''' I should listen to my instinct more.
* BackFromTheDead: This is Sips' and Gothi's main goal from Episode 6 onwards, bringing back Sneeze, who was killed in the final battle with Quinn-Ora.
* BadassTransplant: Sips' arm might be cursed, detrimental to solidly predictable casting and seems to eat away at his alignment[[spoiler:, identity and, arguably, sanity]], but it ''did'' [[UpliftedAnimal awaken]] him and also gave him his awesome sorcerer abilities in the first place...
* BalefulPolymorph: The swamp village of Alchemist Quarry, besides being a town where everything is magical, is home to a number of people that Quinn-Ora has turned into anthropomorphic animals. She tried the same thing on Sips in the past, and he is understandably [[{{Understatement}} a little upset]] about it.
** Also, Sips accidentally curses Gorthan into a Ythrak for a while. It actually lets him save the day at one point.
* BerserkButton: When it comes to Sips, just about anything to do with Quinn-Ora will set him off. But, anybody else messing with Sneeze? Hoo, boy...
** Gothi may be the most level-headed of the group, but if you so much as THINK about hurting Jawbone, she will end you.
** Erina tends to coast through life with few blow-ups of her own (she mainly causes other people to want to go nuclear on her). But, don't try to obliquely tell her who she can or cannot date. Her beeswax. Not yours.
* BigBad: Quinn-Ora for the first five episodes of Fools' Gold. In the backstory they also fought Gresh, a green dragon who had spent years extorting the city of Bundariko.
* BigBallOfViolence: The battle between the party's dragon mech and the dragon Gresh, since Dingo does ''not'' have time to animate it.
* BigEater: Sips and Sneeze gorge themselves on what they think is an extravagant feast.
* BigFun: Though we only see him for a little bit before he gets turned into a monster thanks to Sips, the crystal golem Gorthan gives off this vibe, considering he's also the largest of the group.
* BittersweetEnding: Episode 5 of Fools' Gold. Quinn-Ora is defeated, Sips' curse is removed, but Sneeze is very dead.
* BornUnlucky: Sips. Simply put, if anything can go wrong, you can guarantee Sips will be the one it happens to.
* ButtMonkey: Sips, again.
** Poor Jack just can't seem to catch a break either.
* TheCameo: Puffin Forest as the disembodied voice in the Halloween episode.
** There are other [=YouTubers=] who cameo on Dingo's channel, mostly as collabs to talk about their own adventures, like {{WebVideo/PuffinForest}}, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jo Cat.
* ChaoticGood: According to Dingo, the party is this ''at best''.
* CharacterClassSystem: The Fool's Gold campaign uses Dungeons and Dragons', with a few modifications due to Homebrew. 3rd edition, which they play, was particularly infamous for its ludicrous amount of classes.
** While Sips is not officially confirmed as a sorcerer until the ninth video, all of his powers point to him being a Wild Magic Sorcerer even before then.
** Gothi is confirmed as a Druid in episode 7, with Jawbone as her Animal Companion.
** Julian is implied to be something similar to an artificer of some kind.
** Erina is confirmed to be a spellcaster, eventually, but her exact class is unknown. Her love of Seduction and reliance on charisma suggest she may be a Bard. Episode 12 confirms her to be [[spoiler:a homebrew "magical girl" class that Dingo refuses to release the build for because it's "OP as f***"]].
** Gorthan and Sneeze are unknown, but Sneeze's mannerisms and love of crime imply a Rogue of some kind.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Gothi was one before Ohio Jack stabbed her with a crystal. She was constantly distracted, her potions weren't very trustworthy, and several other quirks.
-->'''Dingo:''' She had, like, 28 ducks.\\
'''Gothi:''' Heh. I stole them!
* ContraltoOfDanger: Quinn-Ora rarely ever raises her voice, speaking with a calm, low, deep tone.
* CrystalSpiresAndTogas: Emphasis on the "crystal" part for the Foreclaimers, who used [[PowerCrystal Power Crystals]] for pretty much anything.
* CursedWithAwesome: Sips' new arm gives him the ability to cast magic spells and gives him sentience. Too bad it also slowly turns him into a reptilian monstrosity and his magic has a tendency to go wild.
* DeadpanSnarker: Really, just about everyone has something sarcastic to say for any given situation. It makes sense for Sips, as he's a cynical monkey boy, but not so much for [[GenkiGirl Erina]] or [[TeamMom Gothi]].
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Quinn-Ora is the main villain for the first arc of Fools' Gold.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Quinn-Ora is killed by Erina throwing her through an open one-way portal to the Elemental Plane of Fire. Since she's a pretty high level spell caster, it's not unlikely that she can Plane Shift out of there. If the heat doesn't kill her first, which it very well might have; her clothes and equipment were switched for Gothi's (Gothi isn't a habitual planes traveller with all the wearable bells and whistles and, on top of that, all of Quinn-Ora's creeptastic stuff that maybe could protect her wound up on Gothi), she was out for the count and was already just clinging to her HP thanks to Sips' beat-down of her. Yet, maybe she could have got ''exceedingly'' lucky...
* DueToTheDead: The party ends up paying 21,000 gold to get a scroll that can bring Sneeze back. Mind you, this is almost all of their funds.
* ExpressiveMask: Gothi, especially in episodes 9 and 10 when Sips bought her a fancier mask for a party. Despite her normal mask appearing to be nothing but a slab of wood, her eyes and sometimes eyebrows are perfectly visible.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When it becomes clear the Mech Dragon won't start up in time too recover, Julian recognizing he's about to die, remains relatively serine as he races towards his death noting he lived a fulfilling life.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Sips forgot that he had the ''Locate Object'' spell, and could use it to track down his missing hand (the spell has limited range, so he couldn't use it until he knew Quinn-Ora was within 400 feet, plus 40 feet per level Sips is above second).
* GenderBender: An option on Dingo's random curse table (because of course it is) which Wizardly is subjected to. Being a 20th level wizard, (s)he should be able to just polymorph themselves back to normal, but that's [[FirstLawOfGenderBending never brought up]], likely due to RuleOfFunny.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: Erina feeds Sips a Bloodmoon Berry as a prank. It activates his SuperpoweredEvilSide, causing mass chaos, panic and ''looming'' plot.
-->'''Erina:''' I thought it would be funny!
* GrumpyOldMan: Mr. Wizardly to a T.
** Though Erina thinks he's [[CoolOldGuy not so grumpy]].
* HairTriggerTemper: Sips, again.
* HeroicSacrifice: Sneeze allows himself to be killed by Quinn-Ora to save Sips.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: The Bearon. Even after the Fool's Gold party has caused large scale chaos and death and/or destruction ''twice'' in Rascam alone, he still sends them on a ''diplomatic'' mission.
* HumongousMecha: The group has a giant mech dragon they found in one of the Foreclaimers' ruined temples.
* HypocriticalHumor: Once Sips wakes up after getting his hand reattached, it is revealed that Sips' right iris has changed into a crocodiles iris. Erina, the magical girl in the party (who is confirmed to be a reference to [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Jojo]], calls him weeb trash for this.
* IAteWhat: While exploring a haunted mansion, the group gets separated from Sneeze and Jawbone. When they find Sneeze, he's gorging himself on an extravagant banquet that Sips joins in on. It's only afterwards that they learn they were eating rotten, maggot-filled meat.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Erina is shown fighting with a pair of metal spheres almost like shot puts.
** As a Druid, Gothi using her faithful Jawbone in battle to double-team is always cool, no question about it. However, what about all those ducks she used to have? Um...
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Not so much "Interrogation" as it is "make your death as painful as possible", but Sips spends most of the final battle with Quinn-Ora gutting her and breaking her arm.
** Sneeze also has a pair of switchblades ready for in case they have to do something like this.
* {{Jerkass}}: Sips meanders across a jerkass spectrum of his own: from being a fairly playful JerkassWithAHeartOfGold much of the time (especially where Gothi and Sneeze are concerned) to a vanilla all-rounder with more than a few hints of JerkassWoobie (distrusting, insulting and/or wishing to stab/electrocute strangers on general principle when he feels they're deliberately impeding him or when he feels the need to hide insecurity) to going [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk extra heavy on the jerk spice]] when running across people like the overly bombastic Belmont or the extremely apathetic Mr Wizardly or any given nemesis... to becoming an outright bloodthirsty murder-machine with absolutely no ability to discern friend from foe (when his curse has hit him particularly hard).
** Mr Wizardly: a consummate JerkWithAHeartOfJerk who is up there with Squidward when it comes to complete apathy and a disregard for others' emotional toes (even when getting paid). There's a reason why he and Sips don't get alternative along.
* KillItWithFire: Quinn-Ora is tossed into a one-way portal to the Elemental Plane of Fire.
* MagicalGirl: Erina.
** Though we don't see her do a lot of magical girl stuff. Or at least, we haven't yet.
* MeaningfulName: Mr. Wizardly... [[CaptainObvious He's a wizard]].
** Stout, the barkeeper of Bundariko. Also the mayor. According to Dingo, he is one hundred percent a walking pun.
* MistakenForGay: Trans, actually. But yeah, after Wizardly touches Sips' cursed arm, its wild magic turns him into a woman. Sips immediately vocally supports her on what he assumes to be Wizardly coming out when he wakes up.
* MyNaymeIs: Quinn-Ora's named is spelled... Like that, instead of something reasonable like Kinora, Cinora or Qinora.
* MysteriousPast: Gothi’s backstory is teased through the videos from episode 2 onwards. Even after it is revealed in her eponymous episode "Gothi" that [[spoiler: she is a Foreclaimer]], it is still unknown what she looks like behind her wooden mask. We do see one eye when it breaks a little in episode 10.
* NearDeathExperience: One of Dingo's earliest videos was her talking about a few of these that she's had. In order:
** Choking on a lollipop at the age of 3. Why? Because when her dad told her not to talk or it might get stuck in her throat, she looked at him and said "Okay". Her dad had to flush it out with a hose, which Dingo originally refused to have done because she had always been told "Don't drink from the hose".
** At age 5, she was on a field trip that involved a hike up a mountain. When it was time to go down, Dingo decided to run as fast as she could, which resulted in her tripping. It was only because the teacher managed to grab her just in time that Dingo didn't fall off a cliff into pointy rocks of death.
** Also at age 5, while sledding, Dingo got buried under a pile of 13 year old kids. The only reason she didn't suffocate was because one of the older kids pulled her out.
* NiceHat: Erina sports one.
* NoodleIncident:
** Dingo calls the 5e spell ''Dancing Lights'' the "Bane of [her] existence". No elaboration.
*** [[spoiler: It's eventually revealed near the start of Fools' Gold that Sips' magic going Wild and turning into a Permanent Dead Magic Zone spell when casting Dancing Lights is what released the Tarrasque.]]
** Dingo won't explain why there are sheep inside the soul gem in episode 7, other than "they got what they deserved".
* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: In the aforementioned "Near-Death Experience" video, Dingo had this to say when she was buried under a bunch of older kids.
--> '''Dingo:''' No joke, the thought going through my head at that moment was "So this is how I die? I'm okay with this."
* OffScreenMomentOfAwesome: Episode 7 of the Fools Gold campaign tells of the epic battle between the party in their mech-dragon versus the dragon Gresh, which Dingo refuses to animate because she is one woman so get off her back.
* OffWithHisHead: Sneeze lets himself be decapitated by Quinn-Ora to save Sips.
* OhCrap: Often combined with a LittleNo for this group as "Oh no." Usually when they realize someone failed an important save or Sips curses someone without meaning to. Or the GM realizes the implications of something that just happened.
* OurElvesAreBetter: Played with. Jack, the NPC archaeologist that accompanies the party, certainly seems to think this applied to the Precursors. [[spoiler: It's played much straighter once they are revealed to be elves empowered by [[PowerCrystal crystals charged with sunlight]], and that Gothi is one of the few that remain.]]
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Vashinco, the vampire casino owner in episode 11, is pretty standard. Drinks blood, can cast Dominate Person by looking into their eyes. He can, however, go in the sunlight, as long as he regularly drinks blood.
** [[LightmareFuel The walking pun is also darkly punny]]: a classic horror creature is a bloodsucking casino owner and Eastern European mobster who isn't exactly hiding, what with being Mr Hammer Horror Set, Esq. Or is Konami. Take your pick of Evil; bad-to-know, rich, open, banal and/or systemic. Also... hilariously, majorly and ''scarily'' [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth outgunned]].
* {{Precursors}}: The Fool's Gold campaign has some, known as the Foreclaimers. The party has been hired to search for their artifacts. [[spoiler: Some are actually still around, unless Gothi is an isolated case.]]
* PutOnABus: Gorthan and Julian had to leave because their players had a baby. Presumably through adoption or childbirth, but knowing this party, stealing one is a possibility.
* {{Railroading}}: Weirdly played with, as Jack (played by the GM) wanted the group to ignore the mech marching off towards Rascam (controlled by the GM) and the players refuted Jack by noting that the mech was ''obviously'' a plot hook leading them that way, away from the ruins plot for a while. So the GM was ''offering'' for them to not take the plot hook, and they refused hard to save a town they liked.
* RandomNumberGod: It's a recounted homebrew [=D&D=] campaign, so... Yeah -- memorably devastating/ awesome dice rolls comes with the turf. But, Sips' entire build just adds to the degree of significance that dice charts hold.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Occurs for the Fool's Gold campaign, where Julian and Gorthan had to be written out because their players had a baby and that took up all their time.
* RememberTheNewGuy: While locked up in jail with Jack, Sips tells Erina to go find Sneeze, who hadn't been mentioned before. Erina spends a good 30 seconds talking about this.
* RentAZilla: The Tarrasque, per D&D standard. Although Dingo described it more in terms of PhysicalGod.
* RescuedFromTheUnderworld: Episode 6 revolves around Gothi and Sips freeing Sneeze's soul from the crystal it had been imprisoned in.
* RetiredBadass: Mr. Wizardly is a 20th level former adventurer (the highest level in D&D) who is just done, and now sends adventurers on quests he doesn’t want to bother with.
* ShoutOut: Erina is explicitly stated to be a [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure JoJo reference.]] Most noticeable in episode 8, where she flirts in anime terms and outright references the anime that inspired her.
* StealthPun: Old Gothi had a [[Creator/DwayneJohnson pet rock named Dwayne]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Old!Gothi had a thing for potatoes.
* {{Troll}}:
** Erina clearly enjoys messing with Sips. This leads to the trouble of episode 10, after she ends episode 9 with something she "thought would be funny" and very much goes wrong.
** In Erina's defence, Sips trolls her all the time, too. They practically communicate in snark, pranks and with the proceeds of crime. For instance... one Acid Splash to the face is a failed will save plus an illusion; two is for the sheer lulz.
* UnluckilyLucky: The whole party, mostly thanks to Sips' wild surges. (Not to mention the more general intervention of the [[RandomNumberGod God of Failed Will Saves]]). But, they often manage to make it work for them in some way (mainly because Felix goes ballistic finding a way to salvage the disaster, on top of the players' quick thinking). You get good at noticing potential opportunity within disasters when enough happen to you.
* UpliftedAnimal: Sips is a normal animal that, thanks to his transplanted arm, was subjected to the ''Awaken'' spell.
* TheVoiceless: Sneeze has no tongue, so he can't talk. And yet, somehow, Sips knows what he's trying to say.
* WhatDidIDoLastNight:
** Sips has a moment of this when he sobers up after his apocalyptic karaoke session. [[spoiler: Gothi has an [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]] version when she has a Foreclaimer crystal inserted into her abdomen, asking Sips about what she did for the 'several years' her crystal was missing.]]
** Sips has another one after [[spoiler:Erina accidentally reactivated his curse and he went on a murderous rampage]].
* WhipItGood: Quinn-Ora's main weapon is a group of severed hands with whips attached to each finger.
* WildMagic: Thanks to his curse, Sips can't control his magic, and it has a certain percentile chance of going wild. Which it loves to do at the most inopportune times.
