Here’s Perplexus, the Riddler’s pet fox and animal bad guy that Krypto and Ace the Bat Hound could’ve contend with on the Krypto the Superdog series. I always thought if there was an animal baddie representing the Riddler on the show it would probably be a fox, since there’s always this imagery of foxes being crafty, sly, and cunning. So what better animal to represent riddles, tricks, puzzles, and games.
When I sketched him out, I tried to base him on some Hanna Barbera aesthetics since the whole show was based off the classic Hanna Barbera designs. I looked at some foxes from HB and found this one fox character from one episode of Oggy Doggie and Doggie Daddy that Oggy was chasing. I was going to base him on Fibber Fox from Yakky Doodle, but I thought the Oggy fox had a better design. The only trait I took from Fibber was the zig zag fur lines on his cheeks and tail. I also made his tail resemble a question mark, and made the question mark on his cane look like his fox tail for my personal touch.
I guess if I had to cast an Ocean Studios voice actor (who were mostly cast on the Krypto series.) as Perplexus the Riddle Fox, I would go with Ian James Corlett, since I feel he would've made a great addition to the Krypto the Superdog series.

Awesome idea! Personally, I gave the Riddler a pet raccoon as a pet, (and Two Face in my idea has twin foxes as pets), but this idea works!
Thank you. Yeah, latter on I might try to draw Mr Freeze's pet polar bears as Krypto and Ace bad guys in Hanna Harbera aesthetics next.
That sounds cool. I'm just glad this show is still getting love, despite it being obscure. You know? I had an idea for a sequel series/reboot. I probably won't ever write it, or at least unless I find the time, but if you want, I could share it via note? I'm asking as I don't want to just info dump on your page or anything. Just thought I would ask first.
Sounds interesting. But for me I hope they do a revival for the original series.
He would work if it had a sister series that I would call "Man-Bat".
Instead of being Kirk Langstrom, it would be an unexpected loser.
