Perry the Platypus, codenamed Agent P, is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Candace Flynn) of the Disney Channel animated series Phineas and Ferb.
He is the pet platypus of the Flynn-Fletcher family, but is also secretly a high ranking and specialized agent of the O.W.C.A., and his main mission is protecting the Tri-State Area from Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, an evil scientist, though very affable and friendly deep down, who always tries to conquer or spread mayhem across the Tri-State area in a daily basis.
He was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.

What Makes Him Near Pure Good?[]

This surprises Doof who oblivious about it.
- He busts his cover to protect Phineas and Ferb from Perry the Platyborg.

What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
- In the "O.W.C.A Files" episode, he appears to be pretty arrogant towards his partners, specially Doof, sometimes even acting jerkishly. Although this may because they were not very good at doing their mission and he was adjusting to not being a lone wolf, making this a minor prevention.
- While it is justified to protect her from potential danger, he helped Doofenshmirtz in an attempt to scare Vanessa during her camp trip with her friends, so she would go home.
