Hand is an enigma, starting and guiding the story, creating all of its elements, and the playing field itself. He creates the situation and is responsible for all of the things that hinder Dood’s eventual success. He is rarely or never overtly malicious in his choices of what to add or subtract from Dood's world. Usually, his assistance appears to be quite helpful. It is only in the resulting chaos that we begin to understand his true intentions, and realize that ultimately he may not have Dood's best interests in mind.

At times, Dood may think he is in control, but the reality is that Hand controls everything. If not directly, then by influencing the actions of those who are on the page at the time. He often seems to be testing Dood. Setting up mazes for him to run through, and observing his reaction to different stimuli. Maybe the world that Hand creates is all just an elaborate experiment, the results of which Hand will use to better understand the world?

More likely, Hand is just doodling for his own entertainment. He enjoys screwing around with this little character and seeing how he responds. Hand may be just an animator with a bent sense of humor and too much time on his hands
