THEME BREAK GODZILLA

I know Riff Raff is the baddie turning that guy upside down & shaking out all his loose change during one theme break vodeo. But is the monster beating up the city in the other TBV supposed to be a named character? Namely the red haired one? Or is he a generic made up for the short? I remembered thinking he was awesome, & the music flowed well with it.Was he in an episode?

Also, what kind of animal was Riff Raff supposed to be? Another dog? A wolf? If I remember, he seemed to have a genuine underworldliness about him. Like a mob boss.

There's only 1 Yogi Bear. They tried a 2nd time, & they made a Booboo!HeyeyeyhEY!

From what I can remember, I think that monster was only used at the beginning of certain Underdog episodes(themesong and all)and never in any actual episodes.

As to what animal Riff Raff was, I think he was a wolf, and a nefarious one at that. I always felt that gangster bosses such as Al Capone and other shady criminal type figures were the inspiration for his character.

The giant monster is sort of in an episode. Some people from another planet sent a man from their planet to Earth with Underdog giving him two things: a pill and a pendant. The alien gives the pendant to Underdog, which causes him to become dizzy whenever he stands up. The alien then takes the pill that turns him into a giant. The giant in the episode had lighter, shorter hair and wore a vest instead of a jacket like the one in the break.
