His design is mostly the same as in Trolls and Trolls Holiday. A minor change is that he was given actual eyebrows, whereas he only has a browline-like cloud formation in the 3D animation. The stripes on his socks were also switched to a red color and are of equal width, as well as more separated from each other.
- Splits
In several episodes starting from "Rainbowmageddon", Cloud Guy splits himself into three. The two additional splits have the same appearance as him, but with accessories. One has a green and white cap, and the other has a red bonnet, a black mustache, and a black handkerchief on the bottom of his body.

Personality[]
Cloud Guy is a random Cloud who likes to mess around and not sit in the sky all day like normal clouds should. He states he gets bored hanging around in the sky all day, so he looks for random mischief to cause, with Branch normally getting the blunt of his antics. In "Bye Bye Bunker", he calls himself "an agent of chaos".
He enjoys harassing, teasing, frustrating, annoying and pranking Branch. In Trolls: TrollsTopia, this was extended to other Trolls to the point that he celebrated "Annoyversaries", which are anniversary days dedicated to him harassing his "favorite Trolls". He is not above emotional manipulation and is very witty and clever in how he behaves and acts with his pranks and teasing. Despite this, he is very kind and has tried to help Branch and Poppy get to Bergen Town.
Throughout the TV series in general, however, it was shown that Cloud Guy does in fact care for the Trolls he bothers such as how his antics pushed Branch out of his comfort zone to help him improve his friendships and become a better Troll, got Holly Darlin' to try new things instead of devoting so much time to her cutie pageants, and so on.
Relationships[]
Branch[]
Cloud Guy often gets on Branch's nerves, as seen in Trolls when he kept telling him to high-five him, yet when Branch did he would always move his hand away before Branch could. He would then give a remark like "Too slow!".
In many episodes of Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, Cloud Guy attempts to annoy Branch for the sake of getting a rise from him and because he finds it fun, even in moments where they agreed together on certain things and when Branch temporarily decided to give up over caring about what he does in "Apple of My Ire". Thus, Branch ends up being the butt of Cloud Guy's jokes.
Queen Poppy[]
Unlike Branch, Poppy appears to think that Cloud Guy is fun and is only being silly. She tends to laugh at his jokes, but acknowledges why he targets Branch, whom she tries to reason with on Cloud Guy.
Unfortunately, in the TV series, Poppy is basically Cloud Guy's enabler, in that whenever someone manages to put Cloud Guy in his place he makes a show of being sad that gets Poppy to guilt-trip them to apologize and make amends with Cloud Guy, who then reveals that his sadness was just an act. Poppy never seems to learn or realize about Cloud Guy's duplicity and emotional manipulation.
Other Trolls[]
In the Trolls: TrollsTopia episode "Cloud Control", Cloud Guy was revealed to also annoy Trolls of other Tribes, including Laguna Tidepool of the Techno Trolls, Lownote Jones of the Funk Trolls, Holly Darlin' of the Country Trolls, and Dante Crescendo of the Classical Trolls. Whenever he is not annoying Branch, it became likely that he will be probably off annoying them. Apparently, he also tries to annoy Val Thundershock, but without apparent success, as she seems to not mind about him. However, it is unknown if this is true, or just a part of an elaborate prank that both of them plan to play on Branch and the other four.
While Branch's reason to be annoyed is his sourpuss nature, the others vary. Laguna is very serious, but unable to resist a prank due to her inability to resist testing a hypothesis, which makes her an easy target. Lownote Jones is considered to be cool by other Trolls, so Cloud Guy's reason to go after him is to make him lose his cool. Dante's reason appears to be him (Dante) wanting to outwit him (Cloud Guy). Meanwhile, Holly's is based on her determination to work hard to succeed, in which Cloud Guy makes her fail and in turn get her angry at him. In all cases, his goal is to make the Trolls he taunts annoyed and angry at him.
But in truth, infuriating as he very often is, Cloud Guy's antics and harassing behavior is subtly geared towards helping his favorite trolls, such as pushing Branch out of his comfort zone to improve his friendships and become a better troll, winning Holly's cutie pageants so she would stop obsessing over them and try new things, and so on.
Thus, as deceitful and underhanded as he is, Cloud Guy does in fact have good intentions even though he utterly enjoys annoying others.
Skills & Abilities[]
He has most normal Cloud abilities and also exists outside of normal causality.
In Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, Cloud Guy was shown to be able to control weather clouds, and was a expert on rainbows. He was also shown to split himself into three and reassemble himself. He would create rain when scared by Branch (a joke on "wetting himself in fear"). Him breaking into Branch's bunker is owed to his ability to reassemble himself from small modules of cloud. He mostly used his abilities to constantly prank Branch.
Trolls World Tour opens on Cloud Guy riding through the sky on a giant dog with dogs for hands. He assures the audience he "goes for this sort of thang," while generally gesturing to the dog-dog. This is not elaborated upon, as Cloud Guy is next seen in the climactic musical number of the film, looking directly into the camera and breakdancing in his socks.
Cloud Guy is a masterful actor and manipulator. He often enacts convoluted schemes to prank or trick his favorite Trolls, such as acting depressed to the get them to admit they care for him and appreciate him (in song form, when they sang In Your Own Way). Apparently incapable of prolonged sincerity, he is always working towards some mischievous (but ultimately benign) ulterior motive. In the Trolls: TrollsTopia episode "Merry Cloudmas", Cloud Guy is shown to experience significant emotional distress (for real this time) due to his inability to resist compulsive mischief. The Trolls must coach Cloud Guy in normalcy and teach him self-control skills so he can carry out a genuine act of kindness without somehow subverting it. Additionally, he is unable to trick or phase Val Thundershock.
By Trolls: TrollsTopia, he seems to be able to warp reality at will, but only to annoy people.
