List of DuckTales characters

This article includes a partial list of characters from the animated series DuckTales. Many of them previously appeared in the Uncle Scrooge comic book series and other media pertaining to the Disney Duck universe.

McDuck household

• Scrooge McDuck - The richest duck in the world and the main protagonist, Scrooge is constantly seeking ways to further increase his wealth, and to avoid losing it. The only thing Scrooge values more than money is his family. Voiced by Alan Young.
• Huey Duck, Dewey Duck and Louie Duck - Identical triplets, and Scrooge's grand nephews. Usually clothed in identical outfits that only differed in color - each of the three wore a specific color. All voiced by Russi Taylor.
  • Huey Duck (red clothes) - Huey serves as the leader of the trio and is very skilled at playing marbles.
  • Dewey Duck (blue clothes) - Dewey is arguably the most clever of the three and he also tends to serve as leader more often than Huey.
  • Louie Duck (green clothes) - Louie is probably the most creative thinker of the bunch.
• Webbigail "Webby" Vanderquack - Female child who secretly wants to be accepted as the fourth "nephew". Voiced by Russi Taylor.
• Mrs. Bentina Beakley - Maid/Nanny of the household, and maternal grandmother to Webby. Voiced by Joan Gerber.
• Duckworth the Butler - Scrooge's longtime, no-nonsense butler/chauffeur. Despite having "Duck" in his name, Duckworth is actually an anthropomorphic dog. He worked for Scrooge even before the nephews moved in. He is also Scrooge's chauffeur and errand boy on occasion. Duckworth used to be Scrooge's only household servant until Scrooge hired Mrs. Beakley. He usually appears as a supporting character. His only starring roles on the show were Duckworth's Revolt and Take Me Out of the Ballgame. He first appeared in the pilot episode of DuckTales. Duckworth is a jack-of-all-trades in the McDuck mansion, making him an important member of Scrooge's staff. Voiced by Chuck McCann.
• Bubba the Caveduck - a young caveduck that Scrooge adopted in the second season of the show. He stowed away in Gyro's Time Machine. After the introduction of Gizmoduck later in the second season, the character was dropped from the series almost entirely. Voiced by Frank Welker.
• Tootsie the Triceratops - Bubba's pet Triceratops who stowed away with Bubba.

Friends

• Launchpad McQuack - Scrooge's pilot. An able flyer, Launchpad can scarcely set a plane down without a massive crash, yet has survived numerous crashes without injury; he is also easily capable of aerial feats bordering on the impossible. As shown in "The Golden Goose (Part II)," he can actually land a plane safely. Later appeared on Darkwing Duck. Voiced by Terry McGovern.
• Gyro Gearloose - An inventor who often works for Scrooge, designing anything from relocation rays ("The Money Vanishes") to time machines ("Time Is Money"). Despite being duped once in a while by the Beagle Boys, Gyro is generally extremely clever and resourceful. Often his inventions help drive an episode's plot, as they do not always work as designed—when anyone besides Gyro attempts to use them! However, the relocation ray does work too well for the Beagle Boys in "The Money Vanishes," as they trick Scrooge into spraying his money for a nonexistent bug. Huey, Dewey, and Louie end up saving the day using the same ray. Voiced by Hal Smith.
• Doofus Drake - A friend of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and Launchpad's sidekick. Generally speaking, Doofus is a rather dim-witted and clumsy character, with a positive attitude as insatiable as his appetite. He exhibits hero worship for Launchpad, which frequently borders on the delusional. (The relationship between Doofus and Launchpad in many ways mirrors that of Launchpad and Scrooge.) Doofus is also marked by his strong moral compass, best demonstrated in the episode "Superdoo!", in which he uses paranormal powers to save the Junior Woodchucks from catastrophe, only to voluntarily relinquish them for the sake of hard work and friendship. Voiced by Brian Cummings.
• Glittering Goldie - Scrooge's sweetheart. An original Carl Barks character from the comic "Back to the Klondike," Goldie's origins are as a music hall singer in Dawson. After Scrooge catches Goldie in an attempt to rob him of his recent gold poke, she repays the debt by helping him to work his claim at White Agony Creek. Over the next several months, the two fall in love. Though necessarily kept apart by career and distance (and also Scrooge's bachelor qualities, necessarily preserved to keep his character eccentric!), he and Goldie often cross paths, reaffirming their affection for each other through their strong personalities and resulting adventures. Voiced by Joan Gerber.
• Fenton Crackshell, also known as Gizmoduck - Scrooge's accountant (as himself) and personal bodyguard (as Gizmoduck), hired by Scrooge in the show's second season. He can count at a blazing speed, but he generally is incompetent with almost everything else. Furthermore, his regular dogged attempts to rectify his mistakes tends to make things worse until he ultimately succeeds. He exhibits a remarkably different personality in his role as Gizmoduck, as his high-powered suit gives him courage to make daring decisions and act as a strong leader and a hero. Makes a few guest appearances on Darkwing Duck. Voiced by Hamilton Camp.
• Mrs. Crackshell - Fenton's couch-potato mother. Voiced by Kathleen Freeman.
• Gandra Dee - Fenton's girlfriend. Voiced by Miriam Flynn.
• Mrs Featherby - Scrooge's secretary.
• Gladstone Gander - Scrooge's distant nephew who is, much to Scrooge's annoyance, unfailingly lucky. Only appearing in three episodes ("Dime Enough for Luck," "Sweet Duck of Youth," and "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. McDuck"), Gladstone is far better known in the comic books. Voiced by Rob Paulsen.

Villains

• Flintheart Glomgold - Scrooge's arch-rival, the main antagonist of the series, and the second-richest duck in the world. Glomgold often comes up with schemes to earn more money, often at Scrooge's expense, in order to surpass Scrooge and capture the title of World's Richest Duck. According to an essay in one of the Gladstone Comics , early Barks sketches for Scrooge and Glomgold show remarkable similarities, especially in temperament. While the comics originally depicted Glomgold as a native of South Africa, his origin was changed to Scottish descent just like Scrooge. -- Voiced by Hal Smith.
• The Beagle Boys - Large family of dogs, who are constantly trying to rob banks or Scrooge's Money Bin.
  • Ma Beagle - The mother of the gang, Ma has more experience than her boys, and always takes charge when she's around. -- Voiced by June Foray.
  • Bigtime Beagle - Short beagle with a lot of cunning. -- Voiced by Frank Welker.
  • Burger Beagle - Dimwitted beagle who is constantly hungry. -- Voiced by Chuck McCann.
  • Bouncer Beagle - Usually serves as a set of muscles for the group. -- Voiced by Chuck McCann.
  • Baggy Beagle - Dopey beagle who dresses in baggy clothes. -- Voiced by Frank Welker.
  • Bankjob Beagle - Burly beagle who runs the show when Bigtime or Ma are not around. -- Voiced by Peter Cullen.

  • Bebop/Bugle Beagle - Lanky beagle with a passion for music. -- Voiced by Brian Cummings.
  • The Beagle Brats are a younger version of The Beagle Boys. They are either their sons or nephews.
  • The Beagle Babes were female cousins of The Beagle Boys. Their names were Boom-Boom, Bouffant and Babydoll.

• Magica De Spell - A powerful witch who is constantly after Scrooge's Number One Dime. -- Voiced by June Foray.
  • Poe De Spell - Magica's brother and familiar, Poe was somehow transformed into a non-anthropomorphic raven, and cannot be turned back by conventional magic. -- Voiced by Frank Welker.

• Black Pete - A classic Disney villain, Pete made a few infrequent appearances in the first season. There are multiple Petes, as they all have different experiences with Scrooge, and because two of them were from different time periods. -- Voiced by Will Ryan.

• Merlock - A powerful and evil sorcerer who, with a green talisman, can transform into various (non-anphropomorphic) animals. He once possessed the magic lamp of Gene the genie, and by combining it with the talisman he gained unlimited wishes, including his own immortality, the sinking of Atlantis, the destruction of Pompeii and the invention of anchovy pizza. He only appeared as the main villain in the movie, in which he sought to regain the lamp. -- Voiced by Christopher Lloyd.

• The Phantom Blot - A villain who was originally created for the Mickey Mouse comic strip as the antagonist of a 1939 serial entitled "Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot." In DuckTales, The Blot only appeared in the episode "All Ducks on Deck." -- Voiced by Frank Welker.

• El Capitan - A former captain who is insane for treasure. Appears in the five-part pilot episode of DuckTales. Indirect hints are given that he is in fact a 400 year old Spanish galleon Captain who is kept alive solely by gold fever; furthermore he is even more of a greedy miser than Scrooge McDuck or even Flintheart Glomgold can ever be - he sinks his own raised treasure ship by accident to retrieve a single golden coin. -- Voiced by Jim Cummings.

Others

• Donald Duck - Though a core member of the family, Donald had his time in the animation spotlight and was deliberately downplayed in DuckTales! to give more focus to Scrooge and the boys. At the beginning of the series, Donald leaves Huey, Dewey and Louie in his Uncle Scrooge's care while he serves with the Navy. Donald is sometimes mentioned when the main characters receive mail and pictures from him and is an occasional guest star for an episode. This usually happens when Scrooge and the boys are abroad in a foreign country or at sea, and they are expected to run into Donald. - Voiced by Tony Anselmo.

• Quacky McSlant - Another background character with no lines, Quacky always sports a titled neck, and a sweater with a Q on it.

However he would be destroyed when Launchbad dumped water on him with his plane. -- Voiced by Peter Cullen.
• Djinni - The gluttonous spirit of a magic lamp who forced Scrooge and Glomgold into a never-ending race over his leadership. This occurred because Djinni started to enjoy the luxuries of the McDuck mansion too much. Not to be confused with Genie from the movie.
