 > The Dark Animals are on the streets again (The New Adventures of The Animals, official and canon series)

## Appearance

Dark Dave has the same appearance as his original self, having black hair, green eyes, a nose and Caucasian (white) skin, the difference being due to his outfit. He wears a black jacket, a yellow shirt, black pants, his lanyard/necklace is yellow and black, his bracelets are black and yellow, and his sneakers are black and yellow.

## Personality

In the second two of The Animals Series, where Dark Dave has his first appearance, Dark Dave was shown to be incompetent, clumsy and very absent-minded, not trying ability to try to kill The Animals, and often angering Dark Eric for his incompetence, but during his absence until the end of the third season Dark Dave changed his personality, from absent-minded and incompetent, to a vengeful, spiteful, evil, cruel and more sinister person than he was before. He also developed more intelligence, being able to invent objects, weapons or anything that benefits the Dark Animals' evil plans like as disintegrator weapon, Dark Dave also became more sneaky, and extremely aggressive after he was captured at the end of the third season.

He gains an extra personality, after turning into a wolf he becomes a predator with an evil killer instinct, as he tries to help Dark Eric kill The Animals, while he continues with his inventions, such as trying to fix the disintegrator weapon to bring them back. to normal, as Dark Dave already considers the idea of helping Dark Eric steal Hilton's magic wand, should his attempt to fix his powerful disintegrator weapon fail.

Dark Dave is also very mysterious, during his absences he always works on some invention to help the Dark Animals' evil plans, showing that Dave is competent and currently effective, showing how much his personality has evolved and changed from incompetent and useless (in the beginning) for sinister and very evil (currently).

In one of the episodes, Dark Dave admitted that his former persona was "stupid" and that he had become more serious and cruel in his current persona.

He was probably the first to meet the Dark Angels during one of his absences, probably between episode 25 and 26 (since Dark Erica later mentions that the only one who hasn't been rude to her and her friends is Dark Dave, when he met them) and is the only one of the Dark Animals who was not rude to the Dark Angels, it shows that Dark Dave towards girls is polite and gentlemanly, although he encourages them to be mean and bad like him and his friends.

His relationship with Dark Davina is very strong, unlike the other Dark Animals, he seems to have respect and education for her, although he loves her, Dark Dave can also cheat on her with another. He is the only member of the Dark Animals who treats the Dark Angels well, although he can also be overbearing with them.Dark Dave is regarded as one of the most charismatic and polite villains in the franchise, if not the only polite villain, he is also one of the most treacherous and manipulative villains.

Furthermore, his love for Davina has also ended. Now, what he feels for her is just friendship and companionship and she also became his subordinate. Now, Dave has become more sadistic, cruel, psychopathic, as well as being more evil due to abandoning his creations to become a dangerous and evil murderer. He, like his friends, was born evil, although initially he was a bit clumsy, and a little distracted, and was in fact the least evil of the Dark Animals, in The Animals Series. However, upon his return in The New Adventures of The Animals, Dave became more cruel, vengeful, more arrogant, more villainous and extremely psychopathic. Now, his level of cruelty has increased, as in the eighth season, he gives up being the ''inventor'' of the Dark Animals to become homicidal like his friends and carry out murders/attempted murders like trying to kill The Animals for fun. He loves his pets Nora and Duffy, who, like magical talking snakes, are proud of them and that they can help in his cruel plans.

In the eighth season, he gives up being the creator of inventions and becomes a homicidal, merciless murderer like his friends, trying to kill The Animals just for fun and pleasure. Only, Dark Davina, the female version of him, becomes the scientist of the Dark Angels.

Dave after abandoning his inventions, he became more merciless, ruthless and murderous, in addition to being more cruel, in one of the episodes ''Dave's Killing'', we see that he takes sadistic pleasure in killing people like his friends, showing his murderous and violent side, showing no mercy even to victims who begged Dave not to kill them, showing that he has the merciless blood of his friends who kill without compassion.
