Personality
Rigby can be best described as a "wild teenager", even though he is well past his teenage years. He becomes frustrated, frightened, confused or sad all too easily.

However, Rigby hates his bozomen, as he tried to kill Pops with his fear of giving speeches, saved Muscle Man from drowning, saved everyone from a pack of evil hotdogs, and got angry at Pops when he was taking wrestling to far and hurting Mordecai. He also felt bad for Benson after he said he was going to lose his job.

Abilities
Can fly, does something, is rich :):):):):):)

Rigby appears to be very fast, acrobatic, sneaky and lazy. He and Mordecai managed to catch up to Gary's truck in Free Cake, which makes him very fast, or the truck very slow. He is a lot faster than Mordecai, because he can run on all fours when in a hurry. However, Rigby isn't very strong, as he is always beaten by Mordecai in a game called "Punchies." He had lost to Mordecai, Muscle Man, Pops, & Skips (who sent him to the hospital -from a helicopter for some reason- with a left fractured butt cheek) in the game. He is, although, good at Rock, Paper, Scissors as he beats Mordecai almost every time at it. He later manages to get revenge on everyone except Mordecai (and also some random bystanders) by mastering "The Death Punch" from the art of Death Kwon Do. He seems to have gotten a little bit stronger in "Meat Your Maker," in which he carries Mordecai's body when he was unconscious due to Rigby having breaking the thermostat in the meat locker. Rigby also demonstrated quick-thinking in that episode, by spraying the hot dogs with yellow mustard after he realized that the evil hot dogs enjoyed the taste. Rigby is afraid of horror movies as seen in "Ello Gov'nor" but is fine in "Grave Sights". Due to his somewhat immature nature, Rigby is prone to overly dramatic reactions to the simplest of events. Often, these reactions are characterized by his "Shark Face" expression, in which he raises both arms above his head, and turns his nose upwards, causing his eyes to appear to move to either side of his head, somewhat resembling a shark; and his signature "STOP TALKING!!!" or "SHUT UP!!!" whenever somebody tries to correct or lecture him. Between him and Mordecai, he is the most irresponsible, and he often tries to skip work and disobey Benson's orders. Rigby never finished high school as revealed in "More Smarter."

Skills/Habits/Traits
Rigby has shown a variety of abilities/habits throughout the series:


 * Rock, Paper, Scissors Master - Rigby is extremely adept at this game. Ever since the pilot episode, he has always beaten Mordecai (except in A Bunch of Baby Ducks and The Best VHS in the World where he lost to Mordecai).
 * Enhanced Speed - Being a raccoon, Rigby is most likely the fastest of the group, seeing as how he can outrun others. He has used his speed in various situations, such as retrieving The Cover to The Book of Park Records and momentarily escaping from the jaws of Snowballs in Appreciation Day.
 * Light Sleeper - In many episodes Rigby is shown to be a light sleeper. In the episode, Ello Gov'nor, he saw the entire movie without falling asleep. Mordecai was deep asleep while Rigby was awoken at night in Really Real Wrestling. This could be due to the fact that Rigby is nocturnal (like all raccoons).
 * Vocalists - In This Is My Jam and Video Game Wizards, Rigby can sing clearly and appropriately. However, in "Karaoke Video", he sings off-tune with Mordecai, probably because they were both singing not caring what their voices sound like.
 * Sharp Claws - He has sharp claws (like all racoons) and he used them in Ello Gov'nor to attack the young employee who he thought was a haunted British taxi.
 * Sharp Teeth - He has sharp teeth (like all racoons) and has used them in High Score to attack Garrett Bobby Ferguson and The Best VHS in the World to attack Mordecai.
 * Light-Hearted - Rigby gets frightened much more easily than Mordecai, particularly during horror movies. In Ello Gov'nor, it was mentioned that Rigby once had to be walked to the bathroom every night for a week, yet rented another horror movie in spite of this, incurring a string of hallucinations throughout the rest of the episode. In Death Bear, Rigby was the only one who wasn't afraid of going inside Death Bear's real cage.
 * Slacking Off - Rigby and Mordecai both have a tendency of slacking off from work, thus causing Benson to yell at them to stop slacking off. This is seen in almost every episode.
 * Hamboning - Rigby says that hamboning will save a person's life someday. It seems to work for him. In fact, in the episode Exit 9B, Rigby yells "Hamboning!" several times to get Benson to snap out of his trance, thus saving Mordecai and his life from the excavator that Benson was about to crush them with.
 * Strength - Rigby has shown signs of getting stronger. In The Night Owl, when Mordecai and Rigby get in a fight with Muscle Man and High Five Ghost, he seems to handle himself. He has also carried people who are heavier than him, like Muscle Man and Mordecai. In The Best VHS in the World, he also showed signs of strength by slapping Mordecai in the face, kicking in the groin, etc. Then again, this could have been due to the events of Muscle Man's training in Muscle Mentor.
 * Fearful - It is seen in many episodes (as in Ello Gov'nor) that Rigby is afraid of scary movies, and some villains that he and Mordecai face. However, in Death Bear, Rigby was the only one who wasn't afraid of going into the real bear cage.
 * Egg-Allergenic - Rigby is extremely allergic to eggs, as seen in Eggscellent, where Rigby ate so many eggs that he actually went into a coma because of it.
 * Skilled Liar - Mordecai proves to be a better liar than him many times, though he is still a good liar.
 * Careless - Rigby can't even feed himself, as said by Mordecai in the quote " Dude, you cant even feed yourself" then admitted by Rigby saying "Good point" in"A Bunch of Baby Ducks".
 * Stealing - As shown in few episodes he steals things like The Power

Disabilities

 * Strength - Rigby has rarely shown signs of strength and he is only beaten other people at punchies in several episodes. Even Pops can beat Rigby at punchies. This is caused several problems such such as in Death Punchies almost killing Mordecai and himself in a hole of lava just so he could be player one in Dig Champs and in Over The Top when Skips killed him from arm wrestling.


 * Bad Video Gamer - Rigby has only ever won at video gaming in several episodes. This was first seen in It's Time when Rigby beat Mordecai probably because Mordecai was too fustrated to play video games. This happens again in Bet to Be Blonde when the loser of a video game has to face having blond hair for a week. Rigby cheats by unplugging Mordecai's controller and covering his tracks with a pile of clothing. In Temp Check, he possibly has the same skill level as Doug in Temp Check as they both defeated each other in a fighting game. This has also led to a problem once in Video Game Wizards when Rigby keeps continuously pestering Mordecai about entering him instead of Skips. In spite of these, he seems to have beaten Mordecai in a game once in Jinx though it is most likely because of luck than skill. He was also the one to discover The Hammer's weakness in Rage Against the TV.
 * Claustrophobic - As seen in Terror Tales of the Park II story The Wallpaper Man he can't stay on confined spaces or he'll panic then he is going to stop breathing

Mordecai
Rigby and Mordecai have been best friends since they were 5 years old, (ex. Don ), and went to Junior High School together. They are constantly getting into trouble together. However, they have been known to fight once in a while (ex.Death Punchies, The Unicorns Have Got to Go, Do Me a Solid, More Smarter), eventually making up in the end, often because they would otherwise perish or allow others to. They slack off until they see Benson or Skips coming, but tend to do work together to prove that they are hard working (ex. Appreciation Day). The duo also have lots in common such as snacking on food like chocolate cake, playing video games, and bowling (ex. Brain Eraser). They both refer to each other as "dude", and, though slightly less commonly, "bro" and share the same catchphrases, "hmm-hmm" and "ohhhh". He sometimes teases Mordecai about his crush on Margaret. Sometimes he will get punched by Mordecai if he does something wrong or stupid like trying to make Mordecai look like a fool. However, Mordecai can be guilty of causing hardship for Rigby due to his egotistical ways, even though Rigby can bring it upon himself. Rigby can be egocentric towards Mordecai, in "The Unicorns Have Got To Go," he betrayed Mordecai when he ganged up with the unicorns. In "Meat Your Maker," he got himself and Mordecai trapped in the meat locker and broke the thermostat. The cold temperature would then caused Mordecai to go unconscious. In many episodes (Ex. Brain Eraser), Rigby assists Mordecai in getting rid of a problem, usually trying multiple things before he finally gets Mordecai's problem solved. Rigby relies on Mordecai for help when he creates a situation; the majority of the time Mordecai with the help of Skips, saves the park. Despite conflicts, they still share a strong friendship, which is the basis for resolving many conflicts in-show. In some episodes it shows that Rigby really cares about Mordecai. In "Meat Your Maker," when Rigby broke the thermostat in the meat locker, Mordecai passed out and Rigby thought that he "died" and he sounded like he was about to cry over his "death." In "Just Set Up The Chairs," when Mordecai went to the shed to get the rest of the chairs, the Destroyer of Worlds nearly killed him. Rigby, expressing a deep sense of worry for his best friend, hastily defeated the gigantic video game monster.

Eileen
Eileen has a crush on Rigby, as revealed in Do Me a Solid.

Though in Skunked, after he angrily grabbed her by the shoulders, held her in the air and shouted at her for laughing at his 'life' against his will; he was mortified at what he did and personally apologized to her, and running off to find the Were Skunk as the last straw. And when he attacked the latter, he apologized both times, but somewhat tried to shrug it off.

Also, in Camping Can Be Cool, Rigby seems to express friendship when he complimented her for breaking Margaret's car window in order to get in, and when they were playing video games.

In the episode Terror Tales of the Park, when Rigby was a house, a picture of Eileen was on the mantel. This is fake since it was just a story told by Rigby.

Pops
Pops is a gullible and odd character. He is the son of Mr. Maellard, who runs the park. Mordecai, Rigby, or others impress him, he expresses via his signature saying, "Good show, jolly good show!" which is a stereotypical British catchphrase. Pops is very fond of Rigby, although both Mordecai and Rigby consider Pops to be an oddball, usually taking advantage of him via his naive and gentle nature. However, they do have respect for Pops, as they helped him get over his fear of giving speeches, as shown in Dizzy. He once got angry at Pops in the episode Really Real Wrestling, because Pops wrestled Mordecai for real and was hurting him, but his anger did not last very long.

Skips
Rigby appears to have great respect for Skips, because Skips fixes most of their trouble, as explained in Free Cake. Skips, in turn, has less respect and trust for Rigby, knowing it is always Rigby's shenanigans that cause most of the problems that occur in the park.

Benson
Rigby, among the duo, is shown more animosity and hate from Benson. In fact, Benson has always either shown hatred toward the duo or Rigby alone, but never toward Mordecai alone. Rigby's irresponsible and lazy nature is what usually drives Benson's hatred toward the duo.

Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost
Rigby dislikes both Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost. However, in "My Mom," he witnessed Muscle Man being friends with other people, and he started to consider him having some decency. After hanging with him, he started to warm up to his odd sense of humor, but this later dissolved after Muscle Man and his brother "pranked" both Rigby and Mordecai, leading them to hate him once again. In season 3, they become nicer and friendler to each other and help each other with problems, like in Fancy Restaurant, where Mordecai and Rigby help Mucle Man impress his girlfriend Starla's parents by helping him learn his manners. The evening soon turned into a fiasco when the staff at the restaurant attacked them for "Not being fancy". In the middle of the fight, Starla's father Herb admits that he and his wife aren't fancy either, and that they were just trying to impress him. In the end of the night, everyone goes over Wing Kingom to celebrate. In Trucker Hall of Fame, Mordecai and Rigby travel with Muscle Man to spread Muscle Dad's hat ashes at the Trucker Hall of Fame.

Margaret
Rigby is fond of Margaret, and does consider himself to be attracted to her. He did ask her out on a date in the episode "It's Time".

Doug
Doug Is Rigby's Rival Since "Temp Check"although rigby showed anger towards doug

Don
Rigby's younger brother who was introduced in the episode Don. It was revealed that Rigby is extremely jealous of his brother in many aspects: Don's attitude, how all of Rigby's friends liked him (even a little more than Rigby), as shown in his flashback where it's Rigby's sixth birthday and all of his friends paid more attention to Don rather than Rigby. However, Don confessed that he never meant to cause Rigby any grief, and that he admired his older brother greatly. (Everyone assumes that Don is the elder brother, due to his build and great height.) At the end of the episode, Don and Rigby rekindle their brotherly bond and Rigby finally gives Don some sugar (a hug).

Trivia

 * The name Rigby is of English origin. The meaning of Rigby is "ridge settlement."


 * As shown in Death Punchies, people used to call him "The One Cheek Wonder" due to seriously damaging one of his butt cheeks during a game of "punchies" against Skips.


 * Rigby is the only main character to die in season 2.


 * In the episode Don, it's revealed that he and Mordecai have known each other since Rigby was five, and in "This Is My Jam," it is revealed they went to Junior High together.


 * In "Ello Gov'nor," Rigby isn't able to watch horror movies, due to them causing him nightmares. At one point, he even had to be walked to the bathroom for a week, according to Mordecai. He also had to stop eating pancakes for a while because he was scared of the movie, Death for Breakfast (Death Bear).


 * Like most raccoons, he runs on all four limbs. However, he usually walks upright like everyone else on the show.


 * Throughout the series, Rigby is shown to be disturbingly weak, judging from the episodes where Mordecai punches or hurts Rigby leading to him hitting the ground or moaning in pain, although it could be that Mordecai is actually very strong, although Rigby is strong enough to carry Muscle Man in Muscle Mentor. He seems to have gotten a little stronger in fights ever since Muscle Mentor.  Surprisenly, it isn't known how strong Hi Five Ghost is, so Rigby might not be the weakest in the show.


 * Rigby has an alter ego, Fists, in his dreams that acts as a separate personality of Rigby as a "tough guy."


 * Rigby is the only main character to have died, as seen in It's Time, but since Father Time gave Mordecai a do-over, and hands of time are turned, he technically didn't die at all. He also died in Over the Top, but was revived by Skips when he cheated Death at an arm wrestling match.


 * Part of Don took place at Rigby's 6th birthday party, so the flashback may have took place in 1994. It is unknown if Rigby is older or younger than Mordecai, as their birthdays haven't been revealed.


 * In Meat Your Maker, he nearly killed Mordecai by breaking the thermostat in the meat locker, and almost caused Mordecai to die of hypothermia.


 * Rigby was the first character to speak in the series (not counting The Pilot).


 * The majority of the problematic situations that have taken place in the show were caused by Rigby. Those were either by accident or by selfish needs that he feels he has to fulfill.


 * In the episode More Smarter, it's revealed that Rigby dropped out of high school.


 * In More Smarter, he doesn't know a difference between a square and a rectangle.


 * Due to his immature antics, he gets into more trouble with Benson than Mordecai.


 * Rigby is weak, but in Death Punchies, he is stronger, but that was because of the death punch.


 * Unlike Mordecai, who placed an appearance before the show's pilot (2 in the AM PM), Rigby was never seen outside of the Regular Show before it started. In fact, Rigby is one of a few characters to never appear before the pilot episode along with Skips, Hi Five Ghost, and Muscle Man.


 * In Don, it's revealed that Rigby walked around naked when he was five, which resulted in Mordecai and Don doing the same because they thought it was "cool". This may be the reason why neither of them wear clothes as of now.


 * In Free Cake, Mordecai tells Rigby to stop digging in the trash, but it's raccoons' nature to do that.


 * Rigby's tail is always shown to have six brown stripes on it.


 * In the episode "In the House," he is dressed as a thief, which is fitting, since raccoons are thieves by nature.


 * Despite being an adult, the fact Rigby is half the average height of characters in the show, and is immensely dwarfed by his younger brother in height, he might have some sort of growth problem.


 * It was hinted in House Rules that Rigby won't be around in the future. This could mean he dies or he and Mordecai became distant and never see each other, although this was said by the future Mordecai who lived without rules (which he no longer does).


 * Goof: Although Mordecai and Rigby went to Junior High together, Rigby only has a 3rd grade education. Perhaps the 3rd grade education remark from Mordecai was a joke to tease Rigby.


 * Goof: It is revealed in Eggscellent that Rigby is allergic to eggs, and they cause him to go into a coma. However, in the episode Terror Tales of the Park, segment In the House, Rigby eats an egg, but does not seem to have any reaction. It may be because the segment was just a story.


 * His real name may be Riggerson, as said by The Bully in Ello Gov'nor.

 * Some people call him Rigbone or Riggs.


 * Although he is bad at video games, he beat Mordecai in the episodes It's Time and Jinx.

 * In Project Exonaut, him, Mordecai and Skips have their own exosuits.
 * Rigby's secret is that he thinks Eileen is hot without her glasses on.
 * Some of Rigby's other secrets are he likes doughnuts from the trash, he stole his neighbor's bike and threw it off the roof when he was little, he hates taking showers and kittens, he was never on the football team, he's a horrible person, and he hides Pops' shoes because he thinks it's funny when he looks for them.
 * In The Best VHS in the World, he is seen progressively getting stronger, since he was be able to punch Mordecai in the face.


 * In the episode Butt Dial, Rigby mentioned that his hands were made for swiping, which is a real fact about racoons because they like to steal things.
