Dwayne is a secondary character and one of the main antagonists of the Moto Pups sub-series, alongside Hubcap and Gasket. He made his first appearance in Season 7's "Moto Pups: Pups vs. the Ruff-Ruff Pack".
Bio
Dwayne is a biker and one of three members of the Ruff-Ruff Pack who likes who to cause what the pack refers to as "wheel" trouble upon Hubcap's orders. Though he is a loyal member of the pack, he tends to bail out of situations he finds to be "too ruff-ruff".
Personality
When antagonizing civilians or dealing with the Moto Pups, Dwayne appears quite serious and will not say much outside of chanting the pack's catchphrase. Despite this, Dwayne is not as mean as the other two members of the pack. When he is not causing trouble, the Great Dane seems to smile more and enjoy hanging out with Hubcap and Gasket (when the two are not fighting anyways).
Dwayne is also the least serious of the three, as evident of the time he believed they were all going to Adventure Bay for sandwiches instead of causing some trouble. Furthermore, Dwayne has been shown to be the most cautious of the pack, as he often tries to warn Hubcap of things that might be too dangerous or reckless (predictably, his warnings go ignored).
Dwayne also has a more friendly yet silly side to him, especially when compared to the other two. When the Pack raided Mayor Humdinger's hideout in Foggy Bottom in "Moto Pups: Pups Save the Kitties", the Great Dane genuinely had fun playing with the Kitten Catastrophe Crew, and even wanted to take said cats with him when they had to bail upon the PAW Patrol's arrival. Furthermore, when Mayor Goodway tried to infiltrate the Pack as a new member in the hopes of changing them from bad to good in "Moto Pups: Pups Save a Moto Mayor", Dwayne immediately befriended her and even tried to offer "membership cards" to both Goodway and Chickaletta. And in his final appearance in season 7, when the Pack found themselves in trouble and were rescued by Chase, Dwayne had no qualms with acting friendly towards the German Shepherd and even gave him the nickname "Brave Blue Puppy".
Although Dwayne might be a bad pup, he's got a softer side that makes him one of the least-villainous antagonists in the series.
Appearance
Dwayne is a Great Dane, having light brown fur with tan-colored paws, as well as brown eyes, long drooping ears, and buck teeth. He has a short and somewhat skinny tail, as well as the usual pink paw pads found on most canines in the series. True to his breed, he is also quite tall, which makes him the tallest pup to appear in PAW Patrol thus far. His hind legs also have a somewhat realistic, digitigrade-look to them, which is much different than any other pup that's currently appeared in the TV series.
His main piece of clothing is his dark brown biker jacket. It has ripped sleeves with white tips, a poorly-sewed on patch featuring his pack's logo on the left side of his chest, a single zipped-up pocket on the right, and an unbuttoned top collar with a single grey button. Dark threading can be seen around any of the jacket's seams. Underneath all of this, he wears a pale yellow shirt.
Alongside his jacket, Dwayne also wears fingerless gloves on his front paws, which shares the same color. Most of the time, he is also seen wearing a dark grey biker helmet, which features a chin strap, three grey spikes on top, and black-rimmed goggles (the latter of which also has a strap that matches the color of the jacket, albeit with light threading instead). On his back is a pup pack, which is dark blue, has more spikes (two), and a black tire skid mark graphic.
Similar to Hubcap and Gasket, Dwayne lacks a pup tag, possibly due to the three being strays.

Pup Pack
Dwayne's pup pack includes a gripper claw just like Hubcap's. He uses it to grab things and create trouble.
Vehicle
Dwayne is often seen driving the Ruff-Ruff Pack's main vehicle; a two-wheeled "Cruiser" motorcycle. It is equipped with a one-wheeled sidecar on the right side, which is usually reserved for Hubcap. The pack's logo is featured on both sides. It is also equipped with a pincer arm on the back, similar to the one Rocky uses with his pup pack, only larger. The vehicle itself has a somewhat dirty and unkempt appearance.
