Don Karnage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Don Karnage is a fictional character created for the Disney animated series TaleSpin. He is an air pirate and the main enemy of Baloo, the hero of the show. His first appearance was in the pilot episode Plunder and Lightning, and he had many frequent appearances in subsequent episodes. Karnage is voiced by Jim Cummings.
While there has been much discussion over what species he is, with some suggesting that he is a fox, coyote, dingo or dog, Len Smith, the character designer for TaleSpin stated that Karnage is actually an "air wolf". [1]
Don Karnage in some ways resembles the fictional high seas pirate Ker Karraje, the character of Jules Verne's novel Facing the Flag. Similar to Karnage, Karraje also owns a huge well-equipped pirate base and is skilled in applying the latest technology in his criminal career.
