Von Goosewing wears an outfit similar to that of Sherlock Holmes, with a pair of spats and spectacles. He often resides and flies a dirigible with "VG" on it, though on occasion is seen living in other places, such as a cave, a mountainside, or even his own house in '[[Incredible Shrinking Duck|The Incredible Shrinking Duck]]'. The symbol on his dirigible resembles [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Mouse_(1981_TV_series) Danger Mouse]'s badge from ''Danger Mouse'' (1981), another British animated television series produced by Cosgrove Hall Films for Thames Television. | Von Goosewing wears an outfit similar to that of Sherlock Holmes, with a pair of spats and spectacles.

When not inventing some new machine or contraption with which to hunt vampires, he relies on an old-fashioned blunderbuss, which is loaded with a wooden stake (although, curiously, it will sometimes fire laser beams). Here and there he does manage to make an invention that works, but is never successful with its execution. | He is a terrible scientist, often getting injured by his own inventions.

Von Goosewing appears to have (or have had) an assistant named [[Heinrich]], who never appears in the show. There are two common theories for why this is -- one being that he is a figment of Von Goosewing's imagination, and the other being that Heinrich is a former assistant that quit without Von Goosewing noticing. | Von Goosewing appears to have (or have had) an assistant named [[Heinrich]], who never appears in the show.
