Line 9:
 
* [[Dream Weaver]]: The Dreammaker is a positive example.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]
* [[The Messiah]]
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: The Dreammaker has a rather advanced dictionary at times, and [[Delusions of Eloquence|unlike Blob]], seems to get it right (...we think...).
Line 19:
* [[Big Friendly Dog|Big Friendly Dogfish]]: Very "boisterous" as the Dreammaker puts it, but very friendly overall.
** [[Angry Guard Dog|Angry Guard Dogfish]]: He is merciless to the Urpneys when they try to intrude however.
* [[Evil -Detecting Dog|Evil Detecting Dogfish]]: Sometimes able to see through the villains' plans.
* [[Silent Snarker]]
 
Line 36:
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Wears a sword on his belt in the first season, {{The [[Goggles Do Nothing]] which remains there unused}} outside the first two episodes. It disappears altogether in later episodes.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: A lot of times, the Dreamstone got stolen due to his carelessness with it, either disobeying an order from the Dream Maker or cluelessly leaving it in harm's way.
* [[Invincible Incompetent]]: Usually relied on luck or the Urpneys' bumbling to save the stone. Subverted in earlier episodes, where he leans more as a [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]].
* [[The Klutz]]: Not ''nearly'' as much as the Urpneys, but it's definitely there at times.
* [[Mr. Imagination]]: Pretty much Rufus' defining trait in the pilot, and the key reason he searched for employment from the Dream Maker. Oddly only appears in a handful of episodes later.
* [[Non -Action Guy]]: Most of the time, he has [[Badass Normal]] moments in early episodes however.
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]].
* [[The Meddling Kids Are Useless]]: Starting from the second season, Rufus became rather ineffective in stopping the Urpneys, usually relying on dumb luck or his more competant peers sorting things out [[Despite the Plan]].
Line 104:
* [[The Comically Serious]]: Though rather intimidating, his role in the show largely consists of banter with his minions, a lot of which is pretty funny.
* [[Determinator]]: He ''really'' wants the Dreamstone.
* [[Hair -Trigger Temper]]: Zordrak can switch between [[Tranquil Fury|reserved and stoic]] to [[Unstoppable Rage|earth shattering rage]] at the blink of an eye. Granted neither are particularly welcoming to his minions.
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: [[The Comically Serious|Though not]] [[Not So Above It All|without his]] [[Nightmare Retardant|own comical moments]], is a far more sinister and intimidating villain than his minions by miles, usually the odd occasion he has active involvement in a plan is indication things are going to get ''a bit'' more serious.
* [[Large Ham]]: And how.
Line 118:
* [[The Chew Toy]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: To extremes.
* [[Co -Dragons]]: Of the rivalistic sort alongside Sgt Blob to Zordrak.
* [[Comedic Sociopath]]: Enjoys torturing Blob and his men, actually thrives on the idea Zordrak will do to them what [[You Have Failed Me|he did to their predecesor]].
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: As buffoonish as he is, most of his inventions are very intricate and work exactly as are intended. It often more their mishandling by him or Blob's team that is their downfall.
Line 127:
* [[Middle Management Mook]]: Seems to be given a higher position than most of Zordrak's mooks. As a result he sees himself as superior to the other Urpneys, constantly giving orders or abusing them. All the while he is usually just as incompetant and spends the majority of spare time from making gadgets acting as Zordrak's favorite punching bag.
* [[Psycho Supporter]]: To Zordrak, when not trying to usurp his throne for himself anyway.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Equally bumbling as the rest of the Urpneys, but highly narcisstic, being "the flower of Urpney inteligence" and all.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Often lets out a big slobbery rasp after finishing a sentence.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]
Line 139:
* [[The Chew Toy]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Not as much as Urpgor, but definitely not all there.
* [[Co -Dragons]]: To Zordrak alongside Urpgor (usually rivaling each other for their master's approval).
* [[Delusions of Eloquence]]: Blob's [[Malaproper]] tendencies are most obvious when he's trying to sound intellectual and/or authoritative.
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Sgt Blob plays with this, for the large part he has all the key traits of one and frequently drives the other Urpneys mad as a result, but it is presented in a harmless slapstick manner and he does frequently convey [[Pet the Dog|a genuine camaraderie towards his cadets]].
Line 174:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[The Ditz]]
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Similar to Frizz. He also has [[Nightmare Fuel StationattendantStation Attendant|a somewhat creepier savviness]] concerning the grim potential fates any of their blunders could leave them.
* [[Iron Butt Monkey]]
* [[Lovable Coward]]: Not as much as Frizz but certainly has his moments.
* [[Minion With an F In Evil]]
* [[Nightmare Fuel StationattendantStation Attendant]]: Nug is an in-universe supplier of [[Fridge Horror]], often inadvertantly scaring Frizz stiff with his unsettling predictions of the terrible situations they end up in.
