⌓ ʿʿ GORILLAZ ˳

Murdoc has been frequently depicted as the perpetuator of constant abuse towards Gorillaz bandmate 2-D, although this abuse appears to have stopped (or, at the very least, greatly reduced) in recent years following his incarceration in late 2017. Murdoc's personality can be defined by pride, depravity, sadism, cynicism, and misanthropy, and he's been shown to be consistently rude and sarcastic towards the people around him. He is perpetually angry and bitter and often takes it out on his peers. Murdoc has an off-colour sense of humour and has displayed a tendency towards controversial behaviour. In the G-Bite short Fancy Dress, he is shown wearing a Nazi uniform for a photoshoot (though he claimed to not be aware what the uniform represented), and on some occurrences during Phase 2, his Winnebago has been shown displaying a Confederate flag, despite him not being an American. He can be very talkative in interviews, and has a habit of going on long tangents and rants. He has a history of being a womaniser, described as being "a rent-a-quote misogynist who speaks without a taste filter", but has since developed into a self-described feminist and environmentalist.

2-D has consistently been depicted as a soft and gentle person, the kind who "would never hurt a fly", but also as extremely passive and easily distracted, being often described (mostly by Murdoc) as behaving akin to a lobotomized person (though he has never actually got one). This led him to suffer intense bullying throughout his childhood and become Murdoc's preferred target when committing his physical and psychological abuse from Phases 1 to 3 (as Russel was significantly stronger than him and Noodle was still a mere child). He has, however, been shown to be able to stand up for himself when needed, such as while being held captive for the shooting of the On Melancholy Hill music video and when confronting Murdoc after the band's reunion in Phase 4 or his return in Phase 5.

Noodle has shown herself to be very pensive and reflective over the years, often contemplating on the state of the world around her, a trait shared with fellow bandmate Russel, especially in interviews promoting the band's second studio album, Demon Days, which she wrote mostly all by herself. She is generally introverted and usually most at peace when residing in her own space. She started as a timid person during Phase 1, as she was still a kid and not yet too familiar with the English language and celebrity life, but became more confident in her public appearances as time went on. Although Noodle is generally reserved and collected, she has sometimes displayed occasional irritability and impatience when interacting with some of the other band members, especially as a teenager. Having her privacy invaded has been proven to be a major pet peeve. For 'Phase 3, Noodle was completely silent and did not speak a word of dialogue, even after reuniting with the other band members in late 2010, as she was still recovering from her recent traumatic experiences, mostly involving The Black Clouds.

Russel is a very level-headed and calm individual, but he is unafraid to make fun of / laugh with his bandmates.
