Tripod

Tripod is a Dalmatian puppy and Lucky's main rival in the Bark Brigade. He only appears in 101 Dalmatians: The Series. Presumably named for being the only puppy with three legs, Tripod is a very athletic, calm and hard-working puppy. He is seen to be a bit of a perfectionist, as in "Full Metal Pullet", and frequently contends with Lucky in several . He was voiced by Toran Caudell.

101 Dalmatians: The Series Edit
Tripod is the only recurring puppy in the series who has not been in any of the movies or the original book, and he also has the most speaking roles compared to the other minor pups. According to the, "Dalmatian Vacation Part One: Road Warriors", he is not one of Pongo and Perdita's original fifteen puppies, and was one of the adopted 84.

Despite having three legs, he is very athletic, considerably more so than the other Dalmatians. He is Lt. Pug's  member of the Bark Brigade, and takes his brigade very seriously. According to "Mall Pups", he is captain of the brigade. Lucky sees him as his rival until the episode "Lucky All Star", after they help Roger pull his car out of the mud. After that, he usually hangs around Lucky and the other pups. Originally, he was quite cocky; however, after becoming more friendly with Lucky, this aspect of him starts to vanish. There has never been an explanation behind his missing leg, though it's suggested that he was either in an accident and it was amputated, or it was a birth defect.
