Dick Dastardly, is the living embodiment of the definition of the word dastardly. Characterized by underhandedness and treachery. As well as cowardly.
He has been participating in the Wacky Races from the beginning. His entry, the Mean Machine, is the fastest, best armored, and the most armed vehicle in the race. He should be the reigning champion, however, his own schemes to sabotage other racers usually costs him the win. He takes perverse joy in watching people die, especially when they fall prey to the gaping mass of the undead.
He travels with his dog Muttley, a vicious beast of an animal with no fear of man or creature.
