Personality[]
Mr. Grumble leads an existence filled with misery and discontent. His dour disposition is a trait he’s famous for – if something happens, he’s the unavoidably first person to point out the flaws that could have been avoided. He spends most of his time scolding, lecturing, and grumbling about the shortcomings of the world around him.
Unfortunately, this trait causes him to become overbearing and oppressive – not everyone has the patience to deal with his pessimism. Despite this, he does have a genuine good heart, but such traits are rarely seen unless you get very close to him. He just doesn’t show it as frequently as he should, and his annoyed attitude is the first thing that people witness.
He’s a man who’s never truly happy with the situation before him and chooses to criticize over generosity. Rarely admitting his wrongs, he’s able to cultivate a certain kind of respect within his environment because of his precision and dedicated nature.
Despite his flaws, he’s not to be underestimated, because he’s willing to put the team first and work with diligence until the task is done. It’s likely that Mr. Grumble has a seldom seen and gentle soul and he’s just too afraid to show it.

Trivia[]
- There has been an occurring gag in the series finale of the second season of the 1995 TV Series, where both him and Mr. Worry get along imperfectly, leaving the latter in a lot of jeopardy since the former was being mean to him in most scenery of the episode; this might suggest that they're rivals.
