Character History[]
Groovy was a Great Dane and the mascot of The Groovy Gang. He is capable of speech, but will only talk to Sonny, claiming to have no interest in speaking to anybody else because only Sonny is chosen by a evil entity known as "The Master." His voice is more Germanic, menacing and demonic, and he often advises Sonny to do terrible things to punish the wicked in the name of The Master. Given that Sonny is a drug-addled, murderous lunatic, it is very probable that he is merely hallucinating Groovy's voice, although Sonny adamantly denies this, claiming, "And this dog f**king talks, man!" Together, Groovy and Sonny had previously brutally murdered Hank and Dean Venture in an underground cavern, and dumped their battered, mutilated corpses into a dark hole.
During the Groovy Gang's second encounter with the Venture Family, Rusty Venture's latest unholy abomination, Venturestein strangled Groovy to death while Brock Samson killed Sonny and Ted. Venturestein later used one of Groovy's feet to make a shoe, planning to give it to a prostitute in exchange for sex. Groovy mentions Sonny being the hand of someone called the "The Master." The only known Venture Bros character called by that is Orpheus's Master. It is possible that Groovy may have been a demon in the shape of a dog involved with the dark arts, or maybe the Master's underling; it is possible that Groovy is an expy of one of the fierce dogs attending another 'Master' in the famous bad-film Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Notes[]
- Groovy is a parody of Scooby-Doo, but unlike the famous cartoon character, he speaks in a more intelligible manner.
- In addition to Scooby-Doo, he is a parody of Harvey, the dog of David Berkowitz's neighbor. David Berkowitz, the real-world Son of Sam killer, claimed the dog was possessed and compelled Berkowitz to commit murder (Berkowitz later admitted the claim was false).
- It is unknown if Thaddeus attempted to create a “Venturestein” out of Groovy's body.
