Dewey, Huey, Louie and Scrooge in the 1987 series.

This article includes a list of characters from the Disney DuckTales animated franchise, including the original 1987 series and the 2017 reboot series, as well as one theatrical movie and a variety of additional spin-off media merchandise, including video games (most notably DuckTales and its updated remake DuckTales: Remastered) and comics. Prior to the series, many of the characters appeared in the Uncle Scrooge comic book stories, in particular the ones created by Carl Barks.

Main characters

Scrooge McDuck

Scrooge McDuck (voiced by Alan Young in the 1987 series, DuckTales the Movie, and DuckTales: Remastered; David Tennant in the 2017 series) is the richest duck in the world, a distinguished citizen of Duckburg, Calisota, and the main protagonist of the oringal series, originally created by Carl Barks for his 1947 story "Christmas on Bear Mountain".

In the 1987 series, Scrooge is constantly seeking ways to further increase his wealth (his favorite pastime appears to be treasure hunting), and to avoid losing it. He is a self-made billionaire who left Scotland in his youth and came to America with his Number One Dime, eventually establishing his home in McDuck Manor and erecting his famous Money Bin. He sports a blue jacket with red cuffs and a red collar. Pat Fraley provided the voice for the younger Scrooge in flashback episode "Once Upon a Dime".

In the 2017 series, Scrooge's Scottish background, the Money Bin, and the Number One Dime remains the same, and he is a well known as a seasoned "adventure-capitalist". In his younger days he used to conduct adventures with his nephew Donald and niece Della joining him. However – Della's disappearance led to Donald cutting his relationship with Scrooge, and Scrooge losing the spark for adventure. Ten years later, as seen in the pilot episode, Scrooge regains his energy when he is reunited with Donald and introduced to his grand-nephews for the first time. The reboot sees him wearing a red jacket with visible pockets and black cuffs and collar, as per his comic book appearance.

Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck

Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck (voiced by Russi Taylor in the 1987 series, DuckTales the Movie, and DuckTales: Remastered; Danny Pudi, Ben Schwartz and Bobby Moynihan, respectively, in the 2017 series) are nephews of Donald Duck through his sister Della, and the grand-nephews of Scrooge. They were originally created for the comics by Ted Osborne and Al Taliaferro in 1937.

In the 1987 series, the triplets are sent to Scrooge to stay with him, while Donald leaves to join the navy. All three tend to be playful and mischievous, while also being devoted members of the Junior Woodchucks scouts. They are identical in appearance and personality, and wear identical outfits – a cap and jumper – with the only difference between each of them being the color of their clothing: Huey wears red, Dewey wears blue, and Louie wears green. The introduction of this scheme by DuckTales was adapted for later use in future animations that featured the triplets. Avery Schreiber provided the voice for the adult Huey, Dewey and Louie in a possible future scenario in the episode "Duck to the Future".

In the 2017 series, Huey (short for Hubert), Dewey (Dewford), and Louie (Llewelyn) are depicted as slightly older preteens, and given distinct appearances, voices and personalities – Huey is the eldest of the triplets and the smartest of the group, a devoted Junior Woodchuck wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and cap; Dewey, wearing a blue long-sleeved T-shirt, is both the most adventurous and the most sensitive of the siblings, as well as the one most eager to find out whatever happened to their mother Della; and Louie, dressed in a green hoodie, is the youngest of the trio, the most money-obsessed and laid-back brother, jokingly described as the "evil triplet". Although all three are mischievous and sneaky around Donald, they are wide-eyed admirers of Scrooge's fortune and the legends of his adventures. Initially, the trio are sent to stay with Scrooge while Donald attends a job interview during the premiere episode, but after renewing Scrooge's spirit for adventure (and Dewey accidentally wrecking their houseboat), Donald and the nephews move into McDuck Manor and accompany him on his new adventures.

Webby Vanderquack

Webbigail "Webby" Vanderquack (voiced by Russi Taylor in the 1987 series, DuckTales the Movie, and DuckTales: Remastered; Kate Micucci in the 2017 series) is the granddaughter of Mrs. Beakley and created for the DuckTales show.

In the 1987 series, she is characterized as younger than the nephews, despite being the same size. She is a tenderhearted girl who is always seen carrying her "Quacky-Patch" doll. Her love for animals is a recurring theme, be it penguins, koalas, dinosaurs, or even the Yeti. Webby is typically wearing a pink shirt and a large hairbow, she is usually rather timid, and often has difficulties being accepted by the boys, although she is also a capable Junior Woodchuck scout.

In the 2017 series, Webby is around the boys' age and smarter and somewhat of a tom boy, with her character wearing a pink and blue sweater vest, a purple skirt, and a smaller hairbow on her right-side. She is revealed to be an enthusiastic adventure fan and Clan McDuck historian who idolizes Donald Duck as one of the greatest adventurers of all time. Having spent most of her life sheltered from the outside world by her grandmother (among the activities withheld from her prior to her befriending Huey, Dewey and Louie are theme park visits and sledding), Webby's curiosity drives her towards new experiences as the nephews' arrival in McDuck Manor finally causes Beakley to allow her more freedom. While the boys find her slightly intimidating upon their first meeting, they soon accept her as a close friend, and her optimism and energy often help encourage them.

Launchpad McQuack

Launchpad McQuack (voiced by Terry McGovern in the 1987 series, DuckTales the Movie, and DuckTales: Remastered; Beck Bennett in the 2017 series) is Scrooge's pilot, and an original DuckTales character. He is an able flyer, but is somewhat incompetent and rarely ever lands a plane safely, usually crashing them and walking away without injury.

In the 1987 series, he uses the motto "If it has wings, I can crash it". He is introduced in the third part of the pilot episode, but has been Scrooge's pilot since his early youth. He is of Irish descent and his ancestor Rhubarb McQuack played an important role in the American Civil War, and prior to the series Launchpad used to perform with his parents and sister as the stunt pilot team "The Flying McQuacks". Aside from being a pilot, he is also a Junior Woodchuck scout leader. His physical appearance is somewhat heroic, with his clothing being similar to that of early era pilots, including a leather cap with flight goggles, an aviation scarf, and a brown flight jacket with light brown pants. The character later appeared as a main character in Disney's Darkwing Duck.

In the 2017 series, Launchpad initially works for Scrooge as his limo driver, before being placed in charge of piloting various craft including the airplane "The Sunchaser", which becomes his signature vehicle. While his physical appearance is the same as his 1987 counterpart, he wears an outfit resembling that of private commercial pilots from the 40s/50s, including a baseball cap, a bomber jacket with a fur lined collar, a green undershirt, and white slacks. The goofy aspects of the character have been enhanced, often giving Launchpad the role of a comic relief. He is a jew, and he has proven to be popular with the girls – a running gag includes him hooking up with ex-girlfriends while the other ducks goes on adventures.

Bentina Beakley

Mrs. Bentina Beakley (voiced by Joan Gerber in the 1987 series and DuckTales the Movie; Wendee Lee in DuckTales: Remastered; Toks Olagundoye in the 2017 series) is the housekeeper and nanny of the household, and the maternal grandmother of Webby. Like her granddaughter, Beakley is an original DuckTales character.

In the 1987 series, she is shown as a gentle woman of upper middle age, sweet on her granddaughter, and typically wearing a purple dress and large white apron over her front and having two hair pins to maintain her hairstyle. She is hired by Scrooge as a nanny for the nephews in the third part of the pilot episode, not asking for any payment other than a shelter for herself and Webby. She has been in the line of work for a long time, and used to take care of the young Prince Greydrake, and she has proven to be a capable opera singer.

In the 2017 series, her character is more down-to-earth than the other residents of McDuck Manor, often offering advice to Scrooge and the ducklings. She is much more resourceful than the 1987 version, and has worked for Scrooge for years prior to the series' start. Her backstory includes a career as an agent for the secret espionage organisation S.H.U.S.H., where her codename was "Agent 22" and through which she first met Scrooge. Though her physical appearance is similar to her 1987 counterpart, with clothing similar to a nanny, and an apron around her waist, she is taking offense at being treated as her employer's secretary, and has proven to possess an impressive strength. Her nationality is also changed to British. After years of being overprotective of Webby, the nephews' arrival causes her to agree to let her granddaughter be a part of Scrooge's adventures. Donald refers to her as "Mrs. B" and the two do not get along at first though when the kids are kidnapped by the Beagle Boys they join forces and eventually gain respect for each other, albeit Donald is uncomfortable with the revelation that Beakley is a trained spy. Initially Beakley also dislikes Webby's friend Lena, regarding her as a bad influence, but after Lena saves her life she becomes more accepting. Beakley's relationship with Scrooge's butler Duckworth is frosty, due to him criticizing her housework.

Donald Duck

Donald Duck (voiced by Tony Anselmo in the 1987 series and the 2017 series) is a signature Disney character, originally debuting in the 1934 animated short "The Wise Little Hen".

In the 1987 series, his appearance was deliberately downplayed, in order to give more focus to Scrooge and the boys. After leaving his nephews with Scrooge in order to serve with the US Navy, he makes occasional appearances while crossing paths with the rest of the Ducks during their adventures. In the first-season finale, he returns to Duckburg to serve as best man at Scrooge's wedding to Millionara Vanderbucks. He is not seen in the later seasons.

In the 2017 series, Donald's role is significantly increased to involve him in the adventures of Scrooge and his nephews, which included changing a part of the background between him and his uncle. In the reboot, he, Della, and Scrooge used to adventure together, until Della's disappearance caused Donald to cut off contact with Scrooge, not speaking to him for the next decade and raising Della's children in her absence. However, ten years later, as seen in the pilot episode, when Donald discovers his nephews plan to be alone to cause some mischief with their houseboat, he reluctantly reunites with Scrooge in order to get him to babysit the boys. After a mishap leads him to becoming involved in a new adventure with Scrooge (and losing him his houseboat), Donald agrees to move his family to McDuck Manor while still trying to maintain his independence. In addition to increasing his appearance, the reboot also sees him wearing the black sailor suit that he wears in many of the comics upon which the show is based. Like in the comics, Donald's main character traits are his bad luck and short temper, while he's also struggling to be a good parent figure to his nephews. Don Cheadle briefly provides an alternate voice for Donald in the season one finale "The Shadow War!", while original series star Russi Taylor voices the young Donald in "Last Christmas!".

Supporting characters

Appearing in both series

Duckworth the Butler

Duckworth the Butler (voiced by Chuck McCann in the 1987 series, DuckTales the Movie, and DuckTales: Remastered; David Kaye in the 2017 series) is Scrooge's longtime, no-nonsense butler, the jack-of-all-trades of McDuck Manor, and an important member of Scrooge's staff, created for the DuckTales series. Despite having "Duck" in his name, he is actually an anthropomorphic dog.

In the 1987 series, he worked for Scrooge even before the nephews moved in, and was Scrooge's only household servant until the hiring of Mrs. Beakley. He first appears in the first part of the pilot episode, and appears as a supporting character throughout the series, serving both as butler and chauffeur. He plays a bigger part in the episode "Duckworth's Revolt", where he and the nephews get abducted by aliens, and in the episode-segment "Take Me Out of the Ballgame", where he acts as the temporary coach of the Junior Woodchuck baseball team.

In the 2017 series, Duckworth died years prior to the series' beginning and was mentioned to be the only one who throws Scrooge a party. After accidentally being summoned back to the world of the living by Black Arts Beagle in the episode "McMystery at McDuck McManor!", he rescues Scrooge from Black Arts, Glomgold, Mark Beaks, and Ma Beagle by ejecting them in the form of a shadowy demon. His ghost has since returned to his duties as Scrooge's faithful butler.

Gyro Gearloose

Gyro Gearloose (voiced by Hal Smith in the 1987 series; Chris Edgerly in DuckTales: Remastered; Jim Rash in the 2017 series) is a skilled inventor, originally created by Carl Barks in 1952. His inventions often help drive an episode's plot, as they do not always work as designed.

In the 1987 series he is a mild-mannered, although somewhat absent minded, man who often works for Scrooge, designing anything from time machines to relocation rays. He makes his first appearance in the third part of the pilot episode. Despite being duped once in a while by the Beagle Boys, Gyro is generally extremely clever and resourceful.

In the 2017 series, debuting in the episode "The Great Dime Chase!", Gyro is still good natured, but more arrogant, sassy, rather impatient, and lacking basic social skills to the point of needing prompt cards for basic conversation (even having been described as a "mad scientist" by the producers of the show). He heads Scrooge's Research and Development department, working in a secret lab under the Money Bin. A running gag involves Gyro's personal war with a faulty vending machine.

The Little Bulb is an invention of Gyro; a small (non-speaking) humanoid robot with a lightbulb for a head. In the original comic books he is named Little Helper and was created by Carl Barks in 1956.
In the 1987 series his appearance is downplayed, often appearing as a minor comic relief.
In the 2017 series Little Bulb is introduced in the episode "The Great Dime Chase!" as Gyro's new invention who malfunctions and turns himself into a giant money-collecting robot. Later, in "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!", his design is copied by Mark Beaks for his B.U.D.D.Y. drone as a result of an unauthorized crowd sourcing by Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera.

Doofus Drake

Doofus Drake (voiced by Brian Cummings in the 1987 series; John Gemberling in the 2017 series) is an acquaintance of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and an original DuckTales character.

In the 1987 series he is the nephews' friend and neighbor, a devoted Junior Woodchuck scout, 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. Doofus is also marked by his strong moral compass, best demonstrated in the episode "Superdoo!", in which he uses newly acquired superpowers to save the Junior Woodchucks from catastrophe only to voluntarily relinquish them for the sake of hard work and friendship. He debuts in the episode "Where No Duck Has Gone Before", and appears throughout the first season, with a final, non-speaking, cameo appearance in "Super DuckTales".

In the 2017 series, Doofus debuts in the episode "Day of the Only Child!", and has been reimagined as a spoiled brat who lets his money control his personality and forces his mom and dad (voiced by Tara Platt and Yuri Lowenthal) to serve as his butler and maid. When Louie, seeing the benefits of having a rich friend, tries to befriend him, Doofus rapidly grows deeply possessive of him, even trying to have him locked up inside his mansion.

Mrs. Featherby / Mrs. Quackfaster

Mrs. Featherby (1987) or Mrs. Quackfaster (2017) (voiced alternately by Tress MacNeille, Joan Gerber, Susan Blu, and June Foray in the 1987 series; June Foray in DuckTales the Movie; Susanne Blakeslee in the 2017 series), named Miss Quackfaster in the original comic books, was created by Barks in 1961, as Scrooge's faithful secretary.

In the 1987 series she is Scrooge's mild-mannered and capable, albeit somewhat gossipy, secretary. She is seen in "Dinosaur Ducks" (voiced by MacNeille), "Hero for Hire" (voiced by Gerber), "Super DuckTales" (non-speaking), "Blue Collar Scrooge" (voiced by Blu), and finally (voiced by Foray) in "Beaglemania" and "Yuppy Ducks". Additionally, she also appears in DuckTales the Movie (voiced by Foray).

In the 2017 series, debuting in the episode "The Great Dime Chase!", she is the archivist of Scrooge's personal archive, having served him for the last 50 years. Dedicated to the point of obsession, she is perfectly willing to terrorize the ducklings if they refuse to heed her bizarre set of rules.

Goldie O'Gilt

Goldie O'Gilt, a.k.a. Glittering Goldie (voiced by Joan Gerber in the 1987 series; Allison Janney in the 2017 series) is Scrooge's longtime love interest, and an original Carl Barks character from the 1952 comic book story "Back to the Klondike".

In the 1987 series, she first appears in the episode based on and named after the Barks story, where her origins as a music hall singer in Dawson is shown. She reappears in the episodes "Scroogerello", as a figment of Scrooge's dream, "'Till Nephews Do Us Part", interrupting Scrooge's wedding to Millionara Vanderbucks, and "Ducky Mountain High", where Scrooge and Glomgold fight for Goldie's property only to see Goldie walking out on top.

In the 2017 series, she first appears in the episode "The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains!", as Scrooge's former girlfriend, partner, and rival, outcunning both Glomgold and Scrooge. While she admittingly "always loved gold more than she loved Scrooge", the pair's mutual affection and respect go deep.

Ludwig Von Drake

Ludwig Von Drake (voiced by Corey Burton in the 1987 series and the 2017 series) is an established Disney character, appearing in several Disney animation productions beginning in 1961. Often referred to as Donald's uncle, he is usually described as scientist and self-proclaimed universal expert.

In the 1987 series, he only makes one appearance, as a psychiatrist treating Launchpad in the episode "The Golden Fleecing".

In the 2017 series he debuts in "From the Confidential Case Files of Agent 22!", appearing in a flashback segment set in 1968. By that time, he was the resourceful director of international spy organization S.H.U.S.H., which are usually fighting F.O.W.L. ("Fiendish Organization for World Larceny"). F.O.W.L. first appeared in an episode of the 1987 series (where the "F" stands for "Foreign") and later recurred on Darkwing Duck, which also introduced S.H.U.S.H. (although without Von Drake).

Gladstone Gander

Gladstone Gander (voiced by Rob Paulsen in the 1987 series; Paul F. Tompkins in the 2017 series) is Donald's cousin, debuting in Carl Barks' "Wintertime Wager" from 1948. Much to his relatives' annoyance, he is unfailingly lucky.

In the 1987 series he foremost appears in the episodes "Dime Enough for Luck", where Magica tries to use his good luck to steal Scrooge's Number One Dime, but he is also seen bidding at an auction in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. McDuck" and he makes non-speaking cameo appearances in "Sweet Duck of Youth" and "'Till Nephews Do Us Part".

In the 2017 series he is introduced in the episode "The House of the Lucky Gander!", living in the Macau-like city Macaw where he is a prisoner of Toad Liu Hai until Scrooge is able to free him. In the first-season finale, he is shown to have returned to Duckburg.

Downy and Fergus McDuck

Downy and Fergus McDuck (voiced by June Foray and Don Messick in the 1987 series; Ashley Jensen and Graham McTavish in the 2017 series) are Scrooge's parents. While the mother and father of Scrooge occasionally have appeared or been referred to in the comics, the names Downy and Fergus were created for their appearances in Don Rosa's 12-part comic book series "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck".

In the 1987 series, Scrooge's parents are simply referred to as "MacMama" and "MacPapa", and they appear in flashbacks in the episode "Once Upon a Dime", were they are shown living as farmers in a small cottage. They are also alluded to in the episode "The Curse of Castle McDuck".

Initially in the 2017 series, Downy and Fergus only appear in portraits at McDuck Manor, after which they make their proper debut in "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!". Due to magical druid stones used by Scrooge to rebuild their ancestral castle in order for his parents to move back in there, Downy and Fergus have turned immortal, and the castle is only accessible to the rest of the world once every fifth year. Scrooge and Fergus' relationship is shown to be a conflicted one, while Downy happily greets her visiting family.

Along with Scrooge's parents, the 2017 series pilot also refers to several additional members of Clan McDuck and the Duck family, including Scrooge's grandfather Dingus and sister Matilda, and Donald's parents Hortense (sister of Scrooge and Matilda) and Quackmore. Several additional ancestors are referred to in "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!", and further evolved upon in the tie-in book "DuckTales: Solving Mysteries and Rewriting History!”. Their physical appearances and much of their character traits are taken from "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" and related work.

Bubba the Caveduck

Bubba the Caveduck (voiced by Frank Welker in the 1987 series and DuckTales: Remastered) is a young caveduck that Scrooge adopts. The character was originally pitched by Tad Stones as "Bubbaduck".

In the 1987 series, he first appears in the five-part episode "Time Is Money", which opens season two. He arrives in current time after hiding in Gyro's time-machine the Millennium Shortcut, and quickly befriends Huey, Dewey and Louie. To accommodate Bubba, Scrooge builds a replica of his original habitat on the McDuck Manor property, and eventually he starts attending the same school class as the triplets.

In the 2017 series, he has been confirmed to appear in season two.

Fenton Crackshell (-Cabrera)

Fenton Crackshell (1987) or Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera (2017), a.k.a. Gizmoduck (voiced by Hamilton Camp in the 1987 series; Eric Bauza in DuckTales: Remastered; Lin-Manuel Miranda in the 2017 series) is an everyday office clerk who accidentally becomes robotic superhero Gizmoduck. The Gizmoduck character was originally pitched by Tad Stones as "Roboduck" (inspired by the movie "RoboCop"), alongside "Bubbaduck" (which evolved into Bubba the Cave Duck) and "Spaceduck" (who never made it to the show), and made his debut in the second season.

In the 1987 series, Fenton doubles as Scrooge's accountant (as himself) and his personal bodyguard (as Gizmoduck), hired by Scrooge in the five-part story "Super DuckTales". 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. He makes a few guest appearances in Darkwing Duck.

In the 2017 series, he is re-imagined as a Latin American intern working under Gyro, and debuts in the episode "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!". While the character remains similar to the 1980s version, this version is more of an optimist. After receiving the Gizmoduck suit, Fenton is hired by Scrooge to guard Duckburg as the armored superhero.

M'Ma Crackshell / M'Ma Cabrera

M'Ma Crackshell (1987) or M'Ma Cabrera (2017) (voiced by Kathleen Freeman in the 1987 series; Selenis Leyva in the 2017 series) is Fenton's mother.

In the 1987 series, she is a couch potato who spends most of her time in her trailer home, watching soap operas in her bathrobe. She debuts alongside her son in the first episode of the five-part story "Super DuckTales".

In the 2017 series, she is reimagined as a no-nonsense Latina police officer. While living an active life, and is deeply concerned with her son's well-being, she is also a devoted telenovela fan, as seen in her debut in "Who Is Gizmoduck?!". She makes non-speaking appearances in "The Shadow War!" and "Storkules in Duckburg!", where she is seen preventing crimes.

Exclusive to the 1987 series

• Admiral Grimitz (voiced by Peter Cullen impersonating John Wayne) – Admiral Grimitz is the navy commander on the aircraft carrier that Donald is a midshipman on. He always gets annoyed at Donald's accident-prone stunts, and likes to play with military equipment that makes things "go kablooey". His name is a spoof of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. After making a non-speaking cameo appearance in the first part of the pilot episode, he makes his proper debut in "Sphinx for the Memories", and returns alongside Donald throughout season one.
• Tootsie (vocal effects by Frank Welker) – Tootsie is Bubba's pet Triceratops, arriving in present time with him.
• Gandra Dee (voiced by Miriam Flynn) – Gandra Dee is Fenton's girlfriend. Her name is a pun on the actress Sandra Dee. Following her introduction in the five-part episode "Super DuckTales", she reappears in "Metal Attraction", "The Big Flub", and "The Duck Who Knew Too Much".

Exclusive to the 2017 series

• Della Duck (voiced by Paget Brewster) – Della Duck is the mother of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and Donald's twin sister. Prior to the events of the series, she used to go adventuring with her brother and uncle, and just like how Donald mostly wears a sailor shirt, Della was typically sporting a pilot's outfit. Her sons grew up without knowing their mother, and the first season sees the ducklings – initially Dewey and Webby – investigating her disappearance. Thus, she only appears on photos and paintings throughout most of the first season, making her first major appearance within the franchise in a series of flashback stories in issue #2 and #3 of the DuckTales comic book. The triplets eventually find out the truth: days before they hatched, Della – a passionate pilot and aspiring astronaut – took off with a spaceship built by Scrooge: The Spear of Selene. When she got caught in a cosmic storm, Scrooge tried to guide her through it, but contact with The Spear was lost, and Della hasn't been heard from since. Donald, blaming Scrooge for Della's disappearance, cut off all contact with his uncle and raised the triplets by himself, while Scrooge spent years trying to find his niece, until his board of directors cut the expenses. In the season one finale, she is shown to be alive and well, albeit stranded on the Moon and unable to contact Earth.Flashback episode "Last Christmas!" shows her and Donald living at the McDuck Manor during their childhood, and it has Donald nicknameing her "Dumbella", which is the name used for her in the 1938 animated short Donald's Nephews.
  While the character had previously appeared in Disney comics, this is her first appearance in any animated media.
• Lena LeStrange (voiced by Kimiko Glenn) – Lena LeStrange first appears in the episode "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!" as a street smart and seemingly carefree teenage girl who befriends Webby. She's however secretly attempting to win the Ducks' trust in order to gain access to Scrooge's Number One Dime on behalf of her aunt, Magica De Spell. Though as the first season progresses, Lena becomes increasingly torn between her aunt's villainous schemes and her growing friendship with Webby. When Lena finally decides to side with the Ducks, Magica is able to possess her body, moments before she has the chance to tell Scrooge the truth. In the season one finale, the ducklings discovers that she is actually a shadow created by Magica to get revenge on Scrooge and free herself. During the final battle, Lena's able to strike back at Magica, but ends up sacrificing herself to protect Webby. Unbeknownst to everyone, however, she now exists as a manifestation of Webby's shadow due to the friendship bracelet the latter wears.
• Storkules (voiced by Chris Diamantopoulos) – Storkules is an old acquaintance of Donald's, based on the Roman hero Hercules. He is physically imposing, noble, and pure-hearted, albeit also naïve and somewhat clueless. He idolizes Donald, who finds Storkules' well-meaning gestures invasive. He is introduced in "The Spear of Selene!" where the Duck family visit his home island in the Mediterranean Sea, Ithaquack (based on Homer's Ithaca), and later moves to Duckburg to become Donald's tenant in season two.
  While Storkules is a 2017 series creation, the island of Ithaquack first appeared in the 1987 series.
• Darkwing Duck (voiced by Jim Cummings) – Darkwing Duck is the main character of a show-within-a-show, a live-action superhero television series of which Launchpad is a big fan. The character and the show were both introduced in the episode "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!", where Launchpad states that the actor portraying Darkwing Duck is "an old school actor who did all his own stunts" named Jim Starling – a reference to his voice actor Jim Cummings.
  The actual animated Darkwing Duck series originally aired 1991–1992, as a spinoff of the original DuckTales series, with Launchpad as the sidekick of the titular character. Although DuckTales–Darkwing Duck crossover comic books have been produced, this marks the first occurrence of Darkwing in DuckTales animation.
• Fethry Duck (voiced by Tom Kenny) – Fethry Duck is an energetic and rather peculiar cousin of Donald's, introduced in "The Depths of Cousin Fethry!", where he serves as janitor at one of Scrooge's marine science stations. He is visited by Huey and Dewey, who mistake him for a scientist. However, his years of living around the marine science stations made him an expert in communicating with sea life as well as surviving in the sea.
  Cousin Fethry was originally created in 1964, by comic book creators Dick Kinney and Al Hubbard.
• José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles (voiced Bernardo De Paula and Arturo Del Puerto, respectively) – José Carioca of Brazil and Panchito Pistoles of Mexico are Donald's college friends. Together they formed a band, The Three Caballeros, who used to practice in Scrooge's garage. They first appear in the episode "The Town Where Everyone Was Nice!", where the trio is reunited, and José and Panchito are introduced to the ducklings. Wanting to impress the others, José claims to be a successful travel agent and Panchito fakes being a pop star, although they are eventually revealed to be a flight attendant and birthday party performer, respectively.
  José and Panchito have appeared in several animated productions alongside Donald, starting in the 1940s feature films Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros.

Recurring antagonists

Appearing in both series

Beagle Boys

The Beagle Boys are the show's most frequently appearing antagonists; a large family of dogs, constantly trying to rob banks or Scrooge's Money Bin. They were originally created by Carl Barks in 1951, and given individual names, looks, and personalities for their DuckTales incarnation, which foremost includes:

• Ma Beagle (voiced by June Foray in the 1987 series; Margo Martindale in the 2017 series) – Ma Beagle is the mother of the gang, created for DuckTales and modelled after real-life gang leader Ma Barker. Ma has more experience than her boys, and always takes charge when she is around. She is introduced in "Robot Robbers".
  In the 2017 series, she debuts in the episode "Daytrip of Doom!". She and Glomgold share a mutual hatred of Mrs. Beakley and fondness for Duckworth.
• Bigtime Beagle (voiced by Frank Welker in the 1987 series and DuckTales: Remastered; Eric Bauza in the 2017 series) – Bigtime Beagle is a short beagle with a lot of cunning. He is second-in-command of the Beagle Boys and leads when his Ma is not around.

Flintheart Glomgold

Flintheart Glomgold (voiced by Hal Smith in the 1987 series; Brian George in DuckTales: Remastered; Keith Ferguson in the 2017 series) is Scrooge's arch-rival, and the second-richest duck in the world, created by Carl Barks for the 1956 story "The Second-Richest Duck". 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, due to the internationally criticized South African apartheid politics of the 1980s, Glomgold was changed into a Scottish descendant for DuckTales.

In the 1987 series, he first appears in the second part of the pilot episode, and typically comes up with schemes to earn money at Scrooge's expense, in order to surpass Scrooge and capture the title of World's Richest Duck. In addition to his DuckTales role, Glomgold also makes a cameo appearance in the Darkwing Duck episode "In Like Blunt", along with the Beagle Boys and Magica De Spell.

In the 2017 series, debuting in the hour long pilot episode "Woo-oo!", he heads Glomgold Industries and makes his fortune through personal branding, preferring to develop his products as cheaply as possible. Glomgold's aversion towards Scrooge is both personal and professional and he doesn't shy away from attempting to kill him. He and Ma Beagle also share a mutual hatred of Mrs. Beakley and fondness for Duckworth. In "The Ballad of Duke Baloney!", after recovering from amnesia caused by the events of the first season finale, it is revealed that Glomgold's birth name was "Duke Baloney", and that he was born and raised in South Africa. After meeting Scrooge, who refused to pay him properly for polishing his shoes, he adopted the name "Flintheart Glomgold" and swore to beat Scrooge in every way possible, including becoming the world's richest duck and proving himself as "the most Scottish" of them. Notably, the name "Duke Baloney" is derived from "the Duke of Baloni", a one-time-only character created by Carl Barks three years prior to Glomgold, and the first character described by Barks as "the second-richest duck in the world".

Magica De Spell

Magica De Spell (voiced by June Foray in the 1987 series and DuckTales: Remastered; Catherine Tate in the 2017 series) is a powerful Italian sorceress, created by Carl Barks in 1961, and constantly after Scrooge's Number One Dime. Magica is convinced that the dime has magic powers that will help her to gain world domination.

In the 1987 series, Magica, making her first appearance in "Send in the Clones", is living on a distant island, inside a volcano in the shape of her head. Her accent is Eastern European, and she is typically assisted by her brother Poe, who has been trapped in the shape of a raven. While mostly appearing in the show's first season, she makes one final appearance in "The Unbreakable Bin".

In the 2017 series, wearing a black halter-necked evening gown with a matching cape and finger-less evening gloves, Magica is "a vile sorceress with a mysterious, ancient grudge against Clan McDuck". First appearing in the episode "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!", while making her first speaking appearance in "Terror of the Terra-firmians!", Magica, trapped in a shadow form, pressures her "niece" Lena into infiltrating the Duck family so she can steal the Number One Dime and regain her corporeal form. When Lena eventually attempts to come clean, Magica grows strong enough from an approaching eclipse to possess Lena's body. Magicas past is revealed in the season one finale: Fifteen years prior, Scrooge sealed Magica's physical form in a pocket dimension within his Number One Dime. At the last second she had used a spell to create Lena from a part of her shadow, thus remaining in contact with the outside world. In present time, empowered by the eclipse, Magica is able to regain her physical form, and traps Scrooge in his Number One Dime while exacting her revenge by attacking Duckburg. Eventually Magica is defeated, and, rendered powerless, forced to escape.

Dijon

Dijon (voiced by Richard Libertini in the 1987 series and DuckTales the Movie) is an inept thief with kleptomania, created for DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp.

In the movie, Dijon works for the wizard Merlock, and thereafter he returns for three of the final five episodes produced for the 1987 series: in the episode "Attack of the Metal Mites" he is working for Glomgold, and in the two-part series finale "The Golden Goose" he is reunited with his estranged brother Poupon.

In the 2017 series, he has been confirmed to appear in season two.
