- "Razzle! Dazzle! Oh, look how much you haven't grown - still fun-sized! You taking care of my wittle girl? You better be..."
- ―Lucifer Morningstar, to Razzle and Dazzle
Razzle and Dazzle are two small demons who serve the Royal Family of Hell and are often with Charlie Morningstar as her personal bodyguards. They are supporting characters who made their debut in the Hazbin Hotel pilot.
In "The Show Must Go On", Dazzle is killed by Lute, leaving Razzle as the sole survivor of the pair.
Appearance
Razzle and Dazzle have similar red fur, long black horns, yellow eyes with red irises, similar suits, and red bow ties. However, Razzle has more pink fur and his eyes are reptilian-like with thin vertical pupils, while Dazzle's fur is more scarlet and his eyes are larger, with his pupils being round and circular.
Both possess dragon-like wings, and their tails are long with the end shaped into a point. Their "hands" have close resemblance to hooves, and their cheeks have pink spots, as well as what appear to be freckles located beside their eyes. Razzle appears to have a normal looking tongue, while Dazzle has a more snake-like one.
Razzle's fur is a light shade of red, while the stripe going down his snout is darker red in comparison, whereas Dazzle's fur is the exact opposite: dark red with the stripe on his snout being a lighter shade of red.
Pilot
The only change in their designs after the pilot is that their legs were not smooth and their tongues were normal shaped.
Full Demon
In their full demonic forms they both appear as western-style dragons with a red horn on their snout and large white teeth. They also lose their pupils. Razzle's bowtie turns black while Dazzle's is still red.
Personalities
According to Vivziepop, they have distinct personalities, with one being goofier than the other.[1] There are, however, similar traits they seem to share as well, including being mischievous and loyal to Charlie, and logically to the rest of her family. They also may have a sweet tooth, as they are first seen enjoying doughnuts together. They also appear to like playing music, which was shown when they jumped to the chance to play the piano when Charlie started singing in the pilot.
In "Dad Beat Dad", they do not react to Lucifer's warning about keeping Charlie safe, implying they do not understand language beyond their names. In "Hello Rosie!", they show their loyalty to Charlie, comforting her and even becoming protective of her when Alastor tries to make a deal with her. In "The Show Must Go On", they join Charlie in the fight against the Exorcists after she calls for them, and Razzle is visibly upset by Dazzle's death.
Abilities
- Flight - Razzle and Dazzle can fly with the wings they have on their backs.
- Demon transformation - Similar to the demons who have a "full demon" form, Razzle and Dazzle are shown to have stronger forms when angered, or when there's a threat to Charlie.[2][3]
Skillset
- Musical talent - Both Razzle and Dazzle can sing, as they are shown providing a background choir during Charlie's song.
- Piano-playing - At least Razzle appears to be capable of playing the piano, which he does in the aforementioned song.

"Dad Beat Dad"

They are later seen flying away above the bar, and Dazzle briefly appears in Hell's Greatest Dad as Lucifer sings "usually I charge a sacrificial lamb".
"Hello Rosie!"
The pair comfort Charlie while she is crying in bed, with Dazzle holding a box of tissues. Though initially passive when Alastor arrives, after he asks Charlie to make a deal, they growl at him and Charlie stops them. When Charlie accepts the deal, the resulting explosion knocks Razzle away and throws Dazzle behind the couch.
"The Show Must Go On"
After Adam vaporizes Sir Pentious, Charlie calls down Razzle and Dazzle and she begins to transform into her full demon form, then Razzle and Dazzle transform into their own as well. In their demonic forms, Razzle was being ridden by Charlie while Dazzle by Vaggie. As they charge at Adam and Lute in the sky, Lute slices Dazzle's wing off and stabs him in the chest, causing him to plummet into the hotel with Vaggie, where she impales him to his death. Meanwhile, Adam knocks Charlie off Razzle.
When the new Hazbin Hotel is built, a statue resembling the full demonic form of Dazzle is added at the hotel entrance in tribute to Dazzle's sacrifice. Razzle can be seen flying beside the statue in his normal form.

In the Hotel foyer after Vox and Velvette arrive, Razzle is flying around and then is followed by a VoxTek drone, which he tries to get away from. He then watches as the VoxTek 150-Inch Deluxe Television is dropped into the Hotel, with the drone still hovering behind him.

Later, Razzle and KeeKee are on the couch comforting Charlie as she breathes into a paper bag, then he looks concerned for her as she keeps trying to call Lilith, before Vox calls her. After the call, Razzle and KeeKee see Emily's portal appear, but KeeKee looks unamused.
Razzle then sits behind Cherri as Vaggie explains who Rooster is, then is flying nearby to Emily as Charlie begins to sing about the future. He then raises his arms with the rest of the Hotel group as they declare that they can stop the Vees.
As Sera sings about the future, an image of Dazzle being killed by Lute is seen.

Razzle is in the circle with the Hotel group as they make a plan to stop Vox.
