Richard

Richard is a recurring character of the Puppet Pals franchise, as well as one of the former antagonists of the Bob the Builder spinoff series, Spud the Scarecrow. He is a cat with an Australian accent who is Bert's best friend.

He was one of Steve the Killcrow's former henchmen, along with Bert and Trevor until all three of them redeem themselves and betray Steve at the end of the Spud the Scarecrow series.

Richard and Bert both look similar to Pilchard and Bert except that they have different colours and Richard and Bert actually speak in human language while Pilchard and Bird speak in cat and bird language.

Appearance
Richard looks just like Pilchard except for the fact that Pilchard is blue and Richard is green. Richard has black eyes, whiskers and stripes just like Pilchard.

Personality
Richard started off as antagonistic, homicidal and vicious as he was willing to help his boss, Steve commit crimes such as murder. In the last episode of the Spud the Scarecrow series, Richard, along with Bert and Trevor betray Steve because they have had enough of being abused by Steve. Richard, Bert and Trevor later apologize to everyone who lives at Bobsville for trying to kill them and for helping Steve commit crimes.

Despite being a villain, Richard is nicer than Steve as he, along with his best friend, Bert both seem to be reluctant to kill Pilchard and Bird as Richard, Bert, Pilchard and Bird are all good friends. Richard and his best friend, Bert also act reasonable, caring and sympathetic and are both genuinely concerned for other people's safeties.
