Poe De Spell, better known as either Poe or Mr. Poe, is a fictional character from the Walt Disney Company, created exclusively for DuckTales and voiced by Frank Welker.

Poe is the brother and familiar of the witch Magica De Spell, who was somehow transformed into a non-anthropomorphic raven. How exactly he got this way was never explained in the series. Although Magica has various transformation spells at her disposal, she is unable to turn Poe back into an anthropomorphic duck. In the episode Send in the Clones, Magica explained that she needed the power of Scrooge McDuck's Number One Dime to restore Poe to his normal self.

Because Poe used to be an anthropomorphic duck, he is capable of speech and can interact with the other characters. In addition to having his name be a reference to the Edgar Allen Poe poem The Raven, Poe often ends his sentences with the word "nevermore".

Poe's role in the Scrooge McDuck universe is actually fairly limited, as he never made any appearances outside of DuckTales. On top of that, Poe only appeared in some of the episodes featuring Magica, and rarely did anything to advance the plot. Poe's most notable role was in the episode Magica's Shadow War, in which a trapped Magica sent him out to find help in one scene.

Poe is not to be confused with Ratface, Magica's pet raven, who appears in the Uncle Scrooge comic books.
