Courage the Cowardly Dog/Characters

The Courage series tend to not have many Sympathetic characters except for Muriel and Courage himself (And some minor monsters that have a sad backstory). Most characters are either major Jerkasses, legitimately scary, or just rather stupid.

Courage
Serves as the titular character who is a pink and black spotted dog (of no known specific breed) who saves his owners Muriel and Eustace from all the creatures. No matter if they're Nightmare Fuel, Uncanny Valley, or just plain weird.


 * Adorkable
 * Amazing Technicolor Wildlife
 * Amusing Injuries: Courage takes a lot of pain in many episodes (most notable perhaps in Mecha-Courage), but he's usually okay, and even laughing (albeit as if slapped silly).
 * Animal Reaction Shot: At almost everything he finds scary it instantly cuts to him scream with his mouth open. Different things happen during the screams each time so that each scream doesn't get repetitive.
 * Anti-Hero (Type I): Though just barely. Would be a straight hero, and often is, if not for his massive cowardice.
 * Badass
 * Badass Adorable
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: "I know something fishy is going on, or my name is (insert random weird name). And it's not!"
 * Butt Monkey
 * The Cassandra
 * Captain Obvious: In the early episodes. Though he got better as the first season went on, this probably contributed to him becoming a Speech-Impaired Animal in later seasons.
 * Catch Phrase: Several. ("The things I do for love..." for example.)
 * Civilized Animal
 * Cool Pet
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
 * Deadpan Snarker: When he can talk.
 * The Determinator: No matter how terrified he is or how powerful his opponent may be, Courage will never back down. Best exemplified in the battle with Mecha-Courage.
 * Dogs Are Dumb: Inverted. Courage is one of the smartest characters in the show.
 * Evil-Detecting Dog
 * Fanservice: The extremely gratuitous close-up shot that the bare soles of his feet get when said feet start transforming into kangaroo ones in "The Transplant".
 * Gag Nose: With a zigzag on it.
 * Genre Savvy: He KNOWS when something's wrong.
 * Gonk: He often becomes one of these whenever his (often nasty) teeth are being shown off.
 * Heroic Dog
 * Humanlike Foot Anatomy
 * Keet
 * Large Ham
 * Loyal Animal Companion: No matter how scared Courage gets in an episode, he lists Muriel's safety over his own.
 * Lovable Coward: Strangely subverted as he seems to prove his name more then the Cowardly part of the title. Therefor, he's more like a...
 * Cowardly Lion
 * Meaningful Name: Despite all his screaming he doesn't run away when his owners are in trouble.
 * "Courage is not having no fear. Courage is fighting and overcoming your fears."
 * Narrative Shapeshifting: Mainly uses this to try to tell a story to Muriel or Eustace. It is unknown if this is just an ability Courage is able to do, as it's mainly used for laughs. But on rare occasions he uses it to get himself out of a jam
 * Parental Abandonment: Rather a sad story, revealed in the last episodes of the series when
 * Silent Snarker: In his non-speaking moments.
 * Speech-Impaired Animal: Subverted in the early days of the show, where he spoke more freely usually. Due to perhaps Executive Meddling he played it more straight later.
 * Talking Animal: He was very talkative during the first season. But afterwards the creators decided to try and make him not quite as chatty and mostly saying one liners now and then.
 * Voluntary Shapeshifting
 * Wild Take: Frequently.

Muriel Bagge
A sweet old lady of Scottish descent who found Courage abandoned by an alley and took him home. She is constantly in danger from the things that come to Nowhere but she always smiles at some point during the episode. And she loves Eustace despite his Jerkass personality. She also loves using vinegar in all of her cooking, and in an early episode picked up playing the sitar and also has a fondness for tea.


 * Blind Without'Em: Shown in "Muriel Meets Her Match".
 * Captain Oblivious
 * Catch Phrase: "Oh my".
 * Cool Old Lady: Once successfully defeated KATZ when he was strangling Courage.
 * Owner In Distress: She is commonly the only reason Courage goes so far to try to beat the many villians that attack the Middle of Nowhere.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Sometimes around Eustace.
 * The Ditz: Although she means well, she seems to not be that very smart and never seems to expect all the horrible things that head toward their house.
 * Fat Girl
 * Fat Idiot: Especially in Muriel Blows Up.
 * Friend to All Living Things
 * Funny Afro
 * Granny Classic
 * Genre Blind
 * Housewife
 * Kindhearted Simpleton: Although she is (usually) at least smarter than Eustace.
 * Literal Metaphor Old Couple: With Eustace. Probably one of the only notable ones of Western Animation
 * Mama Bear
 * Multiple Choice Past: Currently, Muriel has white hair from old age. Whenever a younger version of Muriel appears, her hair color is never the same; it has been shown brown (in a flashback), red (in what was either a painting or photo), blonde (in a dream sequence), and even white (when she was actually turned into a child)!
 * Opaque Lenses
 * Parental Substitute: To Courage, of course.
 * Rolling Pin of Doom: Her Weapon of Choice.
 * Sesquipedalian Smith
 * Too Dumb to Live: Most of the time, though she does have her moments of clarity (ex. Family Business).
 * Took a Level in Jerkass:
 * Trrrilling Rrrs: Does this sometimes.

Eustace Bagge
A self-proclaimed farmer that tends to be grumpy and isn't really a nice guy to anyone. He thinks he can fix anything and grow anything but this is never the case. He also has a greed for money. Although early on with no backstory whatsoever he seems to deserve what happens to him in each of the episodes when you learn he didn't have that great of a childhood with a non-loving mom and a always better Big Brother he turns into more a Jerkass Woobie and depending who you are you may actually feel sorry for the guy.


 * Adult Child: He's basiclly a Bratty Half-Pint in an old man's body.
 * Anti-Hero: Type I, see Freudian Excuse.
 * Anti-Villain: Type II
 * Anti Role Model
 * Asshole Victim
 * Bald of Evil: He's very embarassed about his hair loss.
 * Berserk Button: Cheating him out of money, and messing with his hat, chair, or truck.
 * Big Bad: He's this in an episode wherein he assembles a team consisting of himself, Katz, the foot fungus gangsters, the queen of the black puddle, and the weremole in an attempt to kill Courage, luring him into that situation by holding Muriel hostage above a boiling pot.
 * Non-Action Big Bad: While the rest of his Five-Bad Band is attempting to kill Courage, he just watches from the sidelines.
 * Big Eater
 * Blind Without'Em
 * The Bully
 * Captain Oblivious
 * Catch Phrase: "Stupid Dog!", "Ow, Wicket!", "Big deal", etc.
 * Eustace apparently has the greatest amount of catchphrases than any other character in the show, possibly in all of Western Animation.
 * Chew Toy
 * Cool Mask: That he uses to scare Courage
 * Four Eyes, Zero Soul
 * Freudian Excuse: And how. His mother is much worse than he is and his brother was The Ace and rubbed it in his face his entire life (his brother's entire life that is). The end of "The Curse Of Shirley" has his 'true self' shown to him by a mirror (well it was broken but considering it was supposedly magic). What was it? . No wonder he's so screwed up.
 * Get Rich Quick Scheme: Tries this many times, never works out for him.
 * Gonk: He is downright-freakishly skinny and has a chin (not to mention a pair of feet) that is much larger than it should be.
 * Greed: Many episodes have him obtaining (only to lose it later), wanting, or basically bathing in money he found.
 * Grumpy Bear
 * Grumpy Old Man: Should be obvious with what he does for most of the series.
 * It's All About Me
 * Jerkass
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Although it never shows anywhere else, the ending of "The Curse of Shirley" where another hallucination caused by the curse has him see Courage as himself as a young boy with no hat. And in a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming gives him the hat and undoes the curse.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Except in "Curse Of Shirley" and "Demon in the Mattress".
 * Lack of Empathy
 * Lantern Jaw of Justice
 * Lazy Bum
 * Lazy Husband
 * Lean and Mean
 * Literal Metaphor Old Couple: With Muriel.

 * Strong Family Resemblance
 * This Is My Chair
 * Too Dumb to Live
 * Neutral Selfish
 * Took a Level in Jerkass: In "Ball of Revenge".
 * Took a Level in Badass: In "Katz Kandy" he actually defends Muriel and puts up a fight with Katz.
 * The Unfavorite
 * Villain Protagonist: By the end of the series, he's pretty much this.
 * Villainous Glutton: A rare skinny example.

The Computer
A Jerkass helper who Courage commonly goes to for advice on stopping the Big Bad of the episode. His advice for the most part works well, but his insults and sarcastic vibes gets contempt from Courage.


 * A Day in the Limelight: "Mega Muriel the Magnificent", "Hard Drive Courage".
 * A.I. Is a Crapshoot
 * Anti-Hero: Type 2.
 * British Stuffiness
 * Catch Phrase: "You Twit".
 * Character Blog: He has a Twitter account, You Twits.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Snarky Inanimate Object
 * Everything's Better with Bob: 2+5=BOB
 * Freak-Out: In "Hard Drive Courage", when he gets the virus.
 * Insufferable Genius: His arrogance almost matches the size of his database at times, especially in "Mega Muriel The Magnificent" (in which he possesses Muriel just to prove that robots are better than humans).
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As the end of his episode 'Mega Muriel The Magnificent' would suggest.
 * Magical Database: Seems to have everything to know on how to help Courage defeat the monsters that invade their home.
 * The Mean Brit
 * Smug Snake: A heroic example.

Di Lung
A guy of extremely-heavily implied Chinese descent that makes small cameos in episodes where he almost runs into Courage (usually in his car) and says his catchphrase.

"Di Lung: I'm gonna make a satellite fall, ya FOOL!"
 * All There in the Script: He's never referred to by name, though his name is known.
 * Amusing Injuries: One of numerous ways in which the show punishes him for how much of a douche he is.
 * Arrogant Kung Fu Guy: Especially when he brags about how "invincibly superior" Mecha-Courage supposedly is to Courage in "Courage VS Mecha-Courage"; he isn't entirely wrong about that, however.
 * Asian and Nerdy
 * Asian Drivers: Especially when he parks his car all the way across an open road in "Hothead".
 * Asian Rudeness
 * Asian Speekee Engrish: He can speak English pretty decently for the most part, but his grammar can be a bit off at times.
 * A Day in the Limelight: "Courage vs. Mecha Courage", "Courage The Fly", and "Squatting Tiger, Hidden Dog".
 * Annoying Laugh
 * Asshole Victim: Good luck finding a Courage the Cowardly Dog character who deserves getting his/her car blown up (and being hit by a truck, and being publicly humiliated in his own home country, and being crushed by a giant starfish, and only appearing for about five seconds in most of his episodes) more than this guy...
 * Big Fancy House: He uses the TV show that he stars in to show off his beautiful new mansion in "Campsite Of Terror".
 * Bilingual Bonus: His real name is Big Dragon.
 * Brainy Brunette
 * Breakout Character
 * Card-Carrying Villain: In "Courage VS Mecha-Courage" and "Squatting Tiger, Hidden Dog".
 * Catch Phrase: "Watch where you're going, ya foo'!"
 * The Chew Toy: Somewhat. What makes his appearances entertaining to watch (despite him being an awful person) is the fact that he usually gets just enough time to say his catchphrase and then suffer some kind of either cartoony or outright lethal injury.
 * Colony Drop: He attempts to use this tactic on Courage's house in "Courage The Fly".

"Di Lung (talking about Mecha-Courage): Give up, dog! I win bet! New dog in town! He better than you! Better than you in every way! Better than you in every other way! No way you beat him! No way you ever beat him!"
 * Cool Car: His appears to be a red vintage Corvette...now if only he would stop wrecking it.
 * Cool Shades: His version of Eustace's Sinister Shades.
 * Dirty Coward: Especially when he gets caught "de-boning" Muriel and pretends that he was "re-boning" her.
 * Eviler Than Thou: He seems to be one of these to Eustace, complete with the glasses (of which Di Lung's are sunglasses rather than reading glasses), the chin (which is pointy while Eustace's is bulky), the incredibly abusive relationship with Courage (unlike Eustace, Di Lung attempts to actually kill Courage on a fairly regular basis whenever an episode gives him an even remotely major role in itself), the Annoying Laugh (Eustace's is a stereotypical "old man laugh" while Di Lung's is an extremely stereotypical "Asian laugh"), and even the personality (Psychopathic Manchild for both of them, with Di Lung seemingly being a Royal Brat while Eustace is just a regular Spoiled Brat due to his wife). However, Eustace is genuinely Too Dumb To Live, whereas Di Lung is an Insufferable Genius who often acts Too Dumb To Live due to how arrogant he is. Also, Di Lung and Eustace are both massive sources of Hypocritical Humor.
 * Flat Character: He is a stereotypical "rich Asian jerk" and practically nothing else.
 * Freeze-Frame Bonus: Ma Bagge's and the Dancing Rats' reactions to his catchphrase in "Scuba-Scuba Doo" and "The Nutcracker"; Ma attempts to attack him with her bare hands, while the Rats angrily glare at him.
 * Also, he and the Evil Empress briefly appear on Courage's television during Season 4's intro.
 * Funny Foreigner: He is quite-arguably an even more hilariously blatant stereotype caricature than the one that Dr. Vindaloo is.
 * Geek Physiques: He has a downright-horrifically skinny one, adding to his stereotypical Asian-ness.
 * Genius Ditz: He may generally act like a complete idiot (especially when delivering his infamous catchphrase), but when it comes to science and engineering, he is absurdly talented to say the least.
 * Gonk: Especially the version of him that is shown in Season 4's intro.
 * Gross Up Close-Up: Him showing off his eleventh toe in "Courage The Fly".
 * Hate Sink: Especially when he is a major villain of an episode.
 * Human Sacrifice: In order to contact the magic silkworm that gives the Evil Empress her powers, Di Lung ends up having to remove the bones of someone truly innocent (in other words, Muriel)...using chopsticks.
 * Hypocritical Humor: Despite his catchphrase, he's just as likely to be the one not paying attention, and/or be saying it to someone who didn't really have a choice in the matter. Sometimes, he even puts himself in harm’s way; for example, one time he stood in the middle of the street before then getting hit by a truck. Even Eustace sort of points out how incredibly hypocritical Di Lung's catchphrase often is by using it himself in the episode "Courage In The Big Stinkin' City", and in the episode "The Nutcracker", the rats whose glue trap he has somehow gotten himself stuck in even give him Death Glares in response to hearing him yell the phrase at Courage while being stuck in said glue trap. Hell, Ma Bagge nearly attacks him for how hypocritical his "Scuba Scuba Doo" usage of said phrase (telling her not to swim in the tidal wave that he is surfing in) is.
 * Ink Suit Actor: He is modeled after Tim Chi Ly (the guy who did his voice). Ironically, however, he actually looks considerably more like RiceGum.
 * Insufferable Genius
 * Ironic Name: Even though the English version of his name is Big Dragon, he is quite-possibly the scrawniest little rat in the entire CTCD franchise.
 * It's All About Me: To the point where he even made his own television show about himself.
 * Jerkass: Arguably the biggest one in the entire series, to the point where he even makes Eustace look like a saint at times.
 * Jerkass Has a Point: On the rare occasions where he says his catchphrase and wasn't in the way first. Not to imply that this will change the result...
 * Laser-Guided Karma: Like Eustace, he will usually pay for being a jerk.
 * Laughing Mad: His Annoying Laugh turns into this whenever he's doing it for extremely sadistic reasons.
 * Lean and Mean
 * Mad Scientist
 * Made of Iron: Almost to Eustace's and Courage's levels; for example...
 * In the episode "Hothead", he gets his Cool Car blown up while still being in it and barely even gets his hair, teeth and clothing damaged in the process; surely enough, he survives his dislodged car seat's off-screen landing as well.
 * In the episode "Courage VS Mecha-Courage", he gets run over by a truck and is still able to talk after said occurrence.
 * In the episode "Scuba-Scuba Doo", he apparently survives being presumably drowned in a massive tidal wave.
 * In the episode "Muted Muriel", he gets crushed by Shirley's Giant Starfish and is still alive in the next episode.
 * Narcissist: Revealed when "Eustace" knocks his photos of himself out of his hands in "Cabaret Courage"; heavily implied when he calls himself "perfect" while sitting on an Eiffel Tower replica in "Perfect".
 * Nightmare Fetishist: Heavily implied by how ridiculously excited he gets over getting to yank Muriel's bones out (not to mention how much he actually does, in fact, enjoy doing it) in "Squatting Tiger, Hidden Dog".
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed: He is basically RiceGum without any of the redeeming qualities.
 * No Name Given: See All There in the Script above.
 * Noodle People
 * Not Me This Time: When he surprisingly-not-completely-hypocritically yells his catchphrase at the titular water dragon in "Food Of The Dragon" as punishment for it stepping on his car and therefore making him unable to properly get his groceries back home; he still shouldn't be living in Nowhere in the first place, however.
 * Nouveau Riche: He is an outrageously stereotypical portrayal of the Asian variety of these.
 * Psychopathic Manchild: To the point where he even proudly plays with toy replicas of Eustace, Muriel and Courage while watching the actual Muriel and Courage get tortured by Eustace and Mr. Nasty in the titular Show Within a Show of "Angry Nasty People" (possibly as a Call Back to the ending of "The Great Fusilli").
 * Recurring Extra
 * Rich Bastard: He is basically a disgustingly rich version of Eustace, complete with living in a Big Fancy House.
 * Royal Brat: Heavily implied by the fact that the Good and Evil Empresses of China are his aunts.
 * Running Gags: His catchphrase and his constant wrecking of his car.
 * Show Within a Show: He makes one of these about himself so that he can steal money from his fans.
 * Sinister Shades
 * Small Name, Big Ego
 * Smarter Then He Looks: He's actually quite smart when you think that he was able to build things like Mecha-Courage or make Magic Chemicals (Even if at first he failed at making what he wanted: A Water Buffalo). He was also a former student of the "Perfect" Teacher.
 * Smart People Build Robots: He is the creator of Mecha-Courage.
 * Smug Snake: As downright-impossibly talented as Di Lung is, his talent is still utterly dwarfed by his ego.


 * The Sociopath: He has absolutely no moral qualms. He can hurt a dog out of sadism, or horribly kill an old lady out of a desire for power (even if said power is for someone else). If he wasn't used as a background character most of the time, he would take more credit as one of the show's most utterly evil villains.
 * Totally Radical: He wears some of the coolest-looking sunglasses in the entire CTCD franchise and drives a vintage hot rod, ya FOO!
 * Sunglasses At Night: He literally does this in "Fishy Business", "The Nutcracker", and "Cabaret Courage".
 * Thin Chin of Sin: Possibly his version of Eustace's Lantern Jaw of Injustice.
 * Triangle Shades
 * Unsexy Sadist: Whenever he gets a major role in an episode; he makes Mecha-Courage beat the real Courage nearly to death for his own amusement in "Courage VS Mecha-Courage", attempts to make a satellite fall onto Courage's house (and, of course, also performs utterly horrific experiments on Courage himself) for his own amusement in "Courage The Fly", and even removes Muriel's skeleton for his own amusement in "Squatting Tiger, Hidden Dog". He also kicks Courage into a sewer for his own amusement in "Cabaret Courage".
 * You Fool!

 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Ditzy Genius
 * Dressed to Heal
 * Einstein Hair
 * Funny Foreigner
 * Mad Doctor
 * Mad Scientist
 * Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate

Eustace's Mother
Rather equally a Jerkass to her son as he is to Courage, she insults Eustace at every oppurtunity and as a contrast to her son she is nice to Courage. Occasionally she is the antagonist of a few episodes especially when it's something about helping with a company that helps with wigs.


 * Bald of Evil: Covers it up with her wig.
 * Bald Woman
 * Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: She hasn't appeared in any episodes after "Scuba Scuba Doo".
 * There's a reason for that.
 * Evil Matriarch
 * Evil Redhead: It's a wig, but whatever.
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Four Eyes, Zero Soul

 * Playing Against Type
 * Jerkass: Mainly to her son, and to Courage when he gets in the way of her plans.

 * Amazing Technicolor Wildlife
 * Anti-Hero
 * Berserk Button: Being rude to her and swindling her.
 * The Cassandra: She often outright warns Eustace not to do something, but he never listens. That's why her catchphrase is pretty much telling him I Told You So.
 * Catch Phrase: "The stupid one, he (insert action Eustace shouldn't have done here), yes?"
 * "The stupid one, he's stupid, yes?"
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Dogs Are Dumb: Inverted. She is rather intelligent.
 * Fortune Teller
 * Fully-Dressed Cartoon Animal
 * Gonk: Her extremely mismatched eyes and her quite literal "stick arms" arguably make her one of these.
 * Great Gazoo
 * Gypsy Curse: Puts these on Eustace.
 * I Told You So: "The stupid one, he (something she warned Eustace not to do but he did anyway), yes?"
 * Karmic Trickster: She's normally a rather nice person when you stay on her good side, and often helps out Courage when he asks. However, if you're mean to her, she'll put a curse on you in a heartbeat, but she'll always leave a loophole for you to get out of them.
 * The Napoleon: She is both one of the shortest characters in the series and also one of the bossiest.
 * Odd Eyed
 * Romani

Katz
A tall, skinny Anthromorphic cat that is in many episode implied to have several victims like in the motel and his island. He seems to have great skill at games such as Handball, and an expert at staring contests. He is probably the first villian to appear that can be Nightmare Fuel inducing considering his debut is the first episode after the Chicken from Outer Space pilot kinda leaves it open to what the show will get through from the start. He is also the most recurring villain on the show, appearing in a total of five episodes.

 * Humanlike Foot Anatomy
 * Knight of Cerebus: While not the only truly frightening villain in the series, he's still more serious and dark than most. An Ax Crazy Serial Killer played straight.

William
A dragon who appears in the episode "Food Of The Dragon". He devours Eustace and threatens to eat Muriel and Courage unless Courage can teach him how to fly. He chases after Courage and Muriel and discovers that (which is why he cannot fly). Oh, and he takes Eustace out of his own stomach.

Unfortunately, the government discovers her and wants possession of her- right when she's pregnant with babies.

Evil Veterinarian
Quite possibly the worst villain of the entire series, he stands out as Courage's biggest nightmare. Why? This screw-loose "vet" came up with a horrible idea back when Courage was a puppy- abduct dogs and rocket them off to the moon to make them into super breeds of space dogs. Tragically...  Many years later, the maniac doctor, albeit considerably older and balder, still continues his twisted plans... but now Muriel and Eustace get trapped in a rocket themselves.


 * Aborted Arc: Officially set up a storyline that would've brought the show's biggest question to resolution:  Cartoon Network, you cancelling bastards.
 * Bald of Evil: A huge heap of his hair falls out over the course of time since Courage grew from a pup to dog- which makes him look far scarier than we first saw him.

 * Villainous Breakdown: When Courage manages to make something that is both perfect and imperfect at the same time (perfect in that it's accepting himself and imperfect as he doesn't do as she wanted him to), she keeps shouting 'that's not perfect!' over and over, breaking her facade of control and slowly melting down to nothing.
 * Wicked Cultured

Violin Girl
Nothing is much known about the character itself, but it's one off appearance in "Big Stinkin' City" is one of those sights a Courage fan never forgets. From the back it looks like a normal girl playing Violin (Though even this is considered Uncanny Valley considering everything else around is animated). But when it turns around it has a scary looking claymation face that brings the Uncanny Valley Up to Eleven as there's realistic looks, animated background, and claymation all in one spot. Though it seems that the girl's face is not always like that, as she appears normal on a television that Eustace is watching later in the episode.


 * Creepy Child Up to Eleven
 * Demon Head: Really catches you off guard the first time you see it... (Especially if most likely as a kid you haven't seen headturn scares before).
 * Though interestingly subverted when she appears in the same episode again on Eustace's TV with a normal girl's face.
 * Eye Pop
 * Fish Eyes
 * Hair of Gold
 * Jump Scare
 * Nightmare Face
 * One-Scene Wonder
 * The Spook

The Water Dragon
A water-dwelling dragon that Courage and Muriel meet towards the end of the episode "Food Of The Dragon". He seems scary at first, but turns out to be very friendly.


 * Our Dragons Are Different: Unlike "flying dragons", water dragons can't fly, have flippers instead of wings, and eat fish instead of people.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Fish.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Fish.

Perfect Trumpet Thingy
A blue... thing that appears in the first of Courage's nightmares in "Perfect". Probably one of the series' scariest things, if not the scariest, joining the ranks of King Ramses and the Harvest Moon Spirit in terms of CGI abominations. It appears to be a warped trumpet with a horrible human face stuck on it, or possibly a deformed fetus with a horrible human face stuck on it. Currently serves as the image for the series' Nightmare Fuel page.


 * Blue Eyes
 * Buffy-Speak: It doesn't speak this way, but its name does.
 * Conspicuous CG: Like Ramses, another intentional example.
 * Fan Nickname: Its given name is a TV Tropes-official nickname, too.
 * "Fetus" or any derivation ("CGI fetus", "blue fetus") is one that can be found outside of TV Tropes.
 * Fetus Terrible: Not a normal example, but it resembles a fetus.
 * Giant Space Flea From Nowhere: There's absolutely no warning to its appearance.
 * The Grotesque
 * Humanoid Abomination: Barely on the line between this and Eldritch Abomination.
 * Hypocritical Humor: It claims that Courage is imperfect, while it is a mishmash of trumpet and... whatever- not a perfect human form.
 * Nightmare Dreams
 * One-Scene Wonder: It gets only about 10 seconds of screen time, yet is more infamous than the rest of the scary things of the series.
 * The fact he's got a character spot on this page in the first place should tell you something.
 * Our Monsters Are Weird: It's a blue, hazy, floating broken bugle with a face stuck on it, with weird tendrils attached to its head with thorns for ears and a whispery voice, often described as a "fetus." Words cannot describe it.
 * The Spook

The Blue Fish
A bizarre, blue-scaled, red-finned, green-eyed fish that appears in the bathtub to tell Courage that it's alright to be imperfect and accept his flaws as what makes him unique and beautiful.


 * Eat the Dog: Poor guy ends up being eaten for dinner. Played for Laughs- although he's now beer-battered, he's still alive and gets off a goofy laugh that basically takes the show to the point where things can't get any weirder, closing out the series poetically.
 * Green Eyes
 * One-Scene Wonder: Effectively an Aesop for the Grand Finale to give the viewers something worthwhile to go out on.
