## Personalities

The Dark Animals are the exact opposite of The Animals, while The Animals are kindness, friendship, kindness and represent good, the Dark Animals are the exact opposite, they are aggressive, they are evil, diabolical, arrogant, vindictive and spiteful, outside violent. They are a representation of the evil and evil negative feelings of The Animals themselves and because of their appearance with The Animals, some may confuse them with The Animals, like Mike Jeffery confused them with The Animals, only the detail it's just that he didn't realize that the evil "The Animals" wear bracelets and chains, which makes it easy to differentiate between them and The Animals. of his own interest as Mike Jeffery, until he reveals the Dark Animals' evil intentions in episode 9. The villains' goal is very clear that they want to become the most sadistic, aggressive and evil criminals in all of London and the world, as Dark Eric says so in his last line in episode 15. Once they achieve their diabolical deeds, they celebrate with songs, however if people like Jeffery turn against him or The Animals spoil their plans, they can show themselves much more psychopathic and sadistic, as they are. They seem to enjoy killing, committing crimes and pride themselves on being a gang of criminals who want to kill, steal and destroy and take away the peace of the citizens of London, even though they are identical to The Animals.

In the form of wolves in the second season of The New Adventures of The Animals Series. They become more sadistic and highly power-hungry when they control an army of wolves once they stole Hilton's magic wand and turn British citizens into wolves, showing once again that their cruel personality knows no bounds and that they act on their own to achieve power and ambition. This power-hungry side of the villains, shows how competent they are and that they can actually be a threat even to other villains in the series

They are temporarily healers only in The Dark Animals Miniseries, but their dark magic disappears permanently in Episode 4, the final episode of the Miniseries.

However, it is revealed that the ''crush'' the Dark Animals had on The Dark Angels was only fleeting and they are more than willing to use their love just to fulfill some of their needs, also in episode 37, they say that their feelings for the Dark Angels, at least of love, they no longer exist and they make fun of the loving obsession that their female versions feel for them and that their relationship with them is only friendship and partnership.

They are the most evil, competent, and vicious villains in the franchise.

In episode 41, they are seen flirting and seducing Gloria Pinshead, an Afro-British woman for being rich and although they have been attracted to and enjoy being lovers with married or dating women, yet the Dark Animals show no interest in falling in love, although flirting and seducing is also a form of love, but in their case, it was in a treacherous and manipulative way.

In episode 41, they are seen as manipulative, as they manage to seduce and flirt with Gloria Pinshead, a married but wealthy black woman, to start an affair with her and become her mistress, in order to get money.

They are extremely insensitive and sadistic, as everyone calls Jimmy ''cuckold'' for the fact that his wife Gloria cheated on him with the Dark Animals, and they take sadistic pleasure in mocking Jimmy after his wife's betrayal.

From that, they liked the idea of being lovers of married women or who are in a relationship between boyfriends so that they destroy couples relationships or even a possible love relationship between The Animals and women in future episodes.

The personality of the Dark Animals as The Dark Elves is the same, except that they are more mischievous, faster and with intelligence to steal Christmas gifts and spread misery and despair at Christmas, however characteristics such as arrogance and revenge are still present in this form. They intend to steal Christmas presents and using Santa Claus's magic cane, they also intend to temporarily make people who love Christmas hate it like they did with Hilton temporarily.

At the end of episode 93, to episode 94, it shows that The Dark Animals have actually started to fall in love with the Dark Angels, however their passion for them is temporarily fleeting, even though at this certain point they have actually fallen in love with the Dark Angels.

However, in episode 96, they mention that their passion for the Dark Animals, shown in episode 95, was fleeting (although it was shown to be truly romantic, but temporary), as this implied that the Dark Animals, although they had crushes on them, they in fact never truly loved their female versions, despite them wanting them as their allies. In episode 96, they mention that they prefer to sacrifice the ''love'' they feel for them, which is a ''passing love'' that is, not true, than evil, as they are not willing to sacrifice evil, but are willing to sacrifice love, as even in episode 95, they are seen mocking The Animals' romantic feelings, showing that they still mock the romantic feelings and love of other people like The Animals, despite them also having a ' 'temporary love'' by the Dark Angels, shown in episode 94.

All members of the Dark Animals were born evil (perhaps with the exception of Dark Barry, even though he is their apprentice), as they like to torment and make the lives of The Animals hell for no reason, even if they are unable to carry out their diabolical plans like: usurp The Animals' place and take their fans and force their fans to listen to their music or take over the world. The Dark Animals seem to delight and enjoy killing people, whether they are disaffected or not. They try to kill The Animals several times just for pleasure and fun, showing their purely evil personality. Dark Eric mentions in episode 100 that he and his friends take pleasure in trying to kill The Animals which is fun for them.

They also love their pets, the Dark Snakes (described by Eric that they are the faithful snakes of the Dark Animals), but when they discovered that their pets could talk, they fell in love with them even more, as they could help in their evil plans, although initially they were surprised that their pets could talk.

The biggest crimes committed by The Dark Animals are without a doubt, the murders, various attempted murders and mass murder, if you take into account the people they killed mentioned by them, including killing The Animals' friends like Jimi Hendrix and even the redeemed former villain, Mike Jeffery who became their friend, after discovering he was manipulated by the evil The Animals (aka The Dark Animals)

The favorite crimes committed by the Dark Animals are: murder, attempted murder and mass murder.

Other crimes that they like to commit besides the three mentioned are theft and kidnapping, in which they also like to boast about their bad crimes. Although they boast more by committing murders (or attempted murders) against their enemies.

In the ninth season, their aggressive and violent personality is further augmented by their snake-like abilities that they gained from their magical talking snakes.

The Dark Animals have proven to be more cruel, sadistic and despicable in each season of the series. In the tenth season, they want to conquer the world and at the same time antagonize The Animals for pure fun, these goals of the Dark Animals show how evil and dangerous they are and they show no redemption or remorse to achieve their sinister goals.

## Trivia

* They may also be known as the evil The Animals or the Dark Eric gang.
* The Dark Animals, despite being pure evil villains, had their ''passionate'' moments in the series, seen in episode 95, and although they admitted that they fell in love with the Dark Angels, their love for them is a mix between manipulation and affection, what is implied is that a type of fleeting feeling that even cruel villains like them can also have, is called ''passionate aggressive in love''. Although they never attacked their female versions, they only insulted them. This type of relationship is called ''passionate aggressive in love'' or ''false lovers''.

* The Dark Animals are only original characters created by me (Stellatheanimalsbandgachastories), being they are the evil version of original The Animals and they also inspired by The Animals in their appearance, but their personality are inspired on Shadow the hedgedog from Sonic and Goku Black for Dragon Ball Super. Their personalities are also inspired from Trix witch villains from Winx Club.
* Their personality are likely inspired on Shadow from Sonic is the have a rivalry with The Animals and also both are evil characters, however Shadow is a anti hero, while The Dark Animals are villains.
* Their personality are likely inspired on Goku Black from Dragon Ball Super is the both have the same physical appearances as the protagonists (Goku Black from Goku and The Dark Animals from The Animals) and both are evil characters.
* Their personality are more likely inspired on the Trix, trio of villainous witches from Winx Club: Dark Eric is cold and evil leader like Icy, Dark Hilton and Dark John are mischievous, but calmer, seductive and manipulative as Darcy and Dark Chas and Dark Alan (mainly Dark Chas) had a aggressive, violent and sadistic personality as Stormy.

* Initially the Dark Animals would be a group of teenagers.
* Dark Barry is the only (unofficial) member of the Dark Animals who is a teenager.
* Dark Barry is inspired by the real Barry Jenkins, drummer of the new generation of The Animals and member of the Nashville Teens.
* As an associated and affiliated member of Dark Animals, Dark Barry may be the group's second drummer behind Dark John.  As he reveals that he is also a drummer.
* The Dark Animals are the only villains in this series, they will still be the main antagonists in other series such as The New Adventures of The Animals. The reason they are always the antagonists of The Animals Series franchise, is their main physical appearance with The Animals, which are the same, the only thing that changes is just the necklaces and bracelets that the Dark Animals wear and of course their inverted personality, from good to bad, making The Dark Animals the first villains to be introduced in the franchise.
* The only episodes that The Dark Animals do not appear are the first,second and twelfth (finale season 1 series) episodes of the season one. They are only introduced in the third episode of the season one.

* Dark Dave only appears in two seasons, the season two where that is his introduction and at the end of the season three, in the last episode of the season three, we saw that his traits of silly, dimwitted and a clumsy member and was replaced by his personality, he has become more cruel, vengeful and extremely meaner than he was in the season two.
* Dark Dave is also inspired by the real life Dave Rowberry (who is Price's replacement in The Animals as a pianist), in appearance, as it is possible to say that he killed Good Dave or that he managed to escape.
* After the end of the season three, Dark Dave becomes the official sixth member of the Dark Animals.
* The Animals changed their look every season. It is possible that they and even The Dark Animals appear with new looks in The New Adventures of The Animals.
* Initially, the original idea was that The Dark Animals were "twin brothers" of The Animals, but I (the owner and creator of the series) preferred to discard and make clones, evil and real versions of the bad side of The Animals, which is like twin brothers for their physical appearance.

Another characteristic that will be easy to identify The Animals from The Dark Animals, is that the villains use accessories in their outfits, in addition to the physical appearance often confusing them with the original The Animals:

* Dark Eric wears a yellow cord and dark blue bracelets.
* Dark Hilton wears a reddish-green cord and dark green bracelets.
* Dark Chas wears a purple cord and wears red bracelets (will change to dark red in the next episode of The New Adventures of The Animals).
* Dark Alan wears a reddish-purple cord and dark purple bracelets.
* Dark John wears dark orange bracelets. In the past, Dark John didn't wear a lanyard, now he wears an orange lanyard around his neck.
* Dark Dave wears yellow-black cord which is the theme of his color and yellow bracelets.
