The Cockroaches' goals vary from episode to episode. The Cockroaches are even stated to find Oggy's house 'much too clean for their tastes.' They also seem cognizant of the fact that they are in a cartoon they sometimes look directly at the viewer(s). On a lesser note, they are shown to be incredibly slovenly as they are prone to making messes. However, they do care about him because without Oggy, the roaches will feel lonely. The trio likes to play impractical jokes on Oggy. It should be safe to say their favorite target is Oggy (who they also have a peculiar relationship with). They have even taken vehicles for joyrides, like a dump truck, train, firetruck, and planes ('Rock 'n Roll Altitude', 'Panic in the Air', and 'First Flight'), and sometimes they have pretty ambitious plans such as stealing a pile of bills from a mint or kidnap a mermaid for cash, especially Joey. The cockroaches love stirring up trouble everywhere they go.

Some good epitome of these nasty mixtures are The Patient and Now You See Me, Now You Don't!ДЇor a more in depth description of each Cockroach, see: Joey, MarkyВ and Dee Dee'sВ pages.

At times, the trio mix nasty mixtures in food such as sweat of a sock, chilli juice, garlics, vinegar and also underwear. Together, their main characteristics are to steal food or some things from Oggy. Dee Dee's characteristic is to eat all the time while Marky is a charmerВ and Joey is the planner in the cockroach trio.
