Claw is a former knight of Barkingburg. He is one of the main antagonists of the Rescue Knights sub-series, alongside the Duke of Flappington. He debuted in the Season 8 episode, "Rescue Knights: Quest for the Dragon's Tooth".
Bio
Claw is a Doberman pup who was once on his way to becoming Barkingburg’s greatest knight. But, hungry for power, he defied Barkingburg’s most important law —Never disturb a dragon— and captured a giant reptile for himself to ride. As punishment, Claw’s knighthood was taken away.
Personality
Claw is arrogant, headstrong, and sneaky. Disgruntled by his de-knighting after his failure to follow the rules of Barkingburg, he selfishly desires to become the only knight after the PAW Patrol are knighted. While generally self-serving, he's not above working with others, like when he sided with Duke of Flappington. He tends to get upset easily, especially when his pup-pack fails to work properly or Sparks doesn't listen to him. Interestingly, Claw is not above begging if he believes it'll help him get what he wants, and he tends to play the puppy dog eyes routine to help with this (unfortunately for him, it rarely works, if at all). Lastly, Claw's also been shown to have a clumsy side.
Appearance
Claw is a black and brown-furred Doberman Pinscher. He has blueish-green eyes, a black nose, and long and narrow pointy ears. When in his Rescue Knights attire, he wears a grey and black knight helmet with purple highlights, alongside a purple and grey suit of armor with a grey pup-pack. The armor around his front paws also features three spikes each. And much like the PAW Patrol pups, he also has a pup tag on his armor, though his has a crack through it, representing his corrupt knight status.
Claw has never been seen without his armor, thus it's unknown what he looks like without it.
Attires
Here are Claw's various attires throughout the series.
Pup Tag
Like all of the PAW Patrol pups, Claw has his own pup tag, which has a cracked silver crown on it to signify his former role as a knight of Barkingburg.
Pup Pack
Claw's pup pack contains a pincer that often malfunctions.
Dragon
Instead of a vehicle, Claw rides on his dragon, Sparks, in a brown saddle with a velvet seat on the inside, a metallic border around the top and bottom, and his pup tag's symbol on the outside. The saddle is attached to a strap that wraps around Sparks.
