Fox
Fox is very sly as he tries to trick Mouse into going to his underground house so that he can eat him. Despite that, he gets scared very easily as shown when Mouse told him that The Gruffalo's favourite food is roasted fox and when he saw that The Gruffalo is actually real all along. He also has an allergy to dandelions as shown when he sneezes every time he gets near them. Unlike Owl and Snake, in The Gruffalo's Child filmd adaption, he's the only villain to realize that The Gruffalo's Child is a gruffalo like her father and got scared by her immediately despite her young age.

Snake
Snake is shown to be sneaky and very determined to eat the mouse like Fox and Owl. Out of the three predators despite his fear of the Gruffalo, Snake is shown to be sadistic when he grins evilly at The Gruffalo's Child as he tricks her into going to the frozen lake in an attempt to drown her.

Personalities
Fox, Owl and Snake are very sneaky and tries to trick Mouse into coming to their homes to eat them, though Mouse quickly figure out their intentions by imagining them. They revealed to be cowards when Mouse describes The Gruffalo's features to them and what his favourite food is which makes them run off in fright. They run off in fright again when they saw that The Gruffalo is real after all. In the sequel adaption, Snake is revealed to be sadistic when he tricks the Gruffalo's Child into going to the icy lake in an attempt to drown her as evidenced by smiling evilly at The Gruffalo's Child's predicament.

The Gruffalo
Fox first appears when some dandelions (which were blown off by the mouse) flew into his underground house and make him sneeze which wakes him up. He sniffs the mouse's scent and follow him into the wood and into a field of dandelions which makes him sneezed again which caught Mouse's attention although Fox quickly hides in the dandelions. Fox catches up and step on Mouse's tail to stop him then attempts to trick Mouse by inviting him to have lunch in his home, although Mouse quickly figure out his true plans by imagining it and polity refuses. He told Fox that he's having lunch with a gruffalo instead which puzzles him and ask of what the creature is. Mouse describes what features the gruffalo has, which makes Fox a little frightened and nervously ask him where he's meeting the gruffalo. Mouse replies that he's meeting by the rocks nearby and that his favourite food is roasted fox, which terrifies Fox and he said goodbye to Mouse before running off, scared, unaware that the gruffalo is made up and that Mouse tricks him to avoid getting eaten.

Owl makes his appearance when he saw Mouse crossing a tree trunk across the stream from a tree and flew down
