Vladimir Goudenov Grizzlikof

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vladimir Goudenov Grizzlikof is a fictional character featured in Disney's animated television series Darkwing Duck. His middle name is possibly a reference to Boris Godunov, Tsar of Russia from 1598 to 1605 or perhaps simply a Russian-ized version of "good enough", as opposed to Rocky and Bullwinkle's nemesis Boris Badenov, or "bad enough". Grizzlikof is the Russian-accented anthropomorphic bear who is the chief agent of S.H.U.S.H., answering directly to director J. Gander Hooter. A tall and stocky, no-nonsense, by-the-book individual, Grizzlikof adheres slavishly to S.H.U.S.H. standard procedure regarding pretty much everything, and has clashed on numerous occasions with the well-meaning but ultimately egotistical Darkwing Duck, whom he feels is a bad influence on S.H.U.S.H.'s agents. He is extremely strong. In the episode Dirty Money when he was angry that Darkwing would get the case, he grabbed him by the neck with both hands, lifted him up, and shook him back and forth. Launchpad McQuack also noted (probably exaggeratingly) that Grizzlikof "picks his teeth with a crowbar". However, in the same episode he did tear apart a briefcase with his teeth (not realizing it belonged to director Hooter). Also in that episode he refused to let Darkwing and Laucnchpad do their jobs the way they wanted to. He wanted them to follow S.H.U.S.H. procedure. When they didn't, he exterminated their association with S.H.U.S.H. and threatened to send them to prison if they interfered with the case in any way.

Grizzlikof sometimes says words out of place, for example he called an obstacle course an "obstinate" course, and "you have done better than I 'expectorated'" instead of "expected"

However, for all his faults Grizzlikof is, deep down, a good person, and very loyal to S.H.U.S.H., a fact revealed in the episode The Darkwing Squad, when he went so far as to feign letting Steelbeak persuade him to join F.O.W.L. in order to try and destroy the Fiendish Organization of World Larceny from within. Even Darkwing has admitted that he likes "Grizz" on at least one occasion, after Grizzlikof had left the room. Grizzlilkof was voiced by the late Ron Feinberg.
