==Main characters== ===Scrooge McDuck=== {{Main|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, the uncle of Donald Duck and Della Duck, the grand-uncle of Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck, and the main protagonist of the original series and the 2017 reboot 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.<ref name="Once Upon a Dime" /> 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".<ref name="Once Upon a Dime" /><ref name="Cotter" />

In the 2017 series, Scrooge's Scottish heritage, the Money Bin, and the Number One Dime remain the same, but he is well known as a seasoned "adventure capitalist" and CEO of McDuck Enterprises. Born in Glasgow, Scotland in the mid-19th century and getting rich during the Klondike Gold Rush in the 1890s, his decreased aging has been explained by him spending time "stuck in a timeless demon dimension".<ref name="The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains!" /> In his younger days he used to conduct adventures with his nephew Donald and niece Della joining him.<ref name="Woo-oo!">{{cite episode|title=Woo-oo!|series=DuckTales|airdate=August 12, 2017|season=1|number=1}}</ref> However, Della's disappearance led to Donald cutting off his relationship with his uncle, and Scrooge losing the spark for adventure.<ref name="The Great Dime Chase!">{{cite episode|title=The Great Dime Chase!|series=DuckTales|airdate=September 23, 2017|season=1|number=3}}</ref><ref name="The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" /> Ten years later, as seen in the pilot episode, Scrooge regains his energy when he is reunited with Donald and introduced to his grandnephews for the first time.<ref name="Woo-oo!" /> The reboot sees him wearing a red jacket with visible pockets and black cuffs, spats, and collar, as per his comic book appearance. According to Frank Angones, several lines involving Scrooge using Scottish slang or dialogue are improvised by Tennant, who is also Scottish, to provide an accurate depiction of Scottish people.<ref name="Improvisation">{{cite tweet|last=Angones|first=Frank|user=FrankAngones|date=2019-12-07|title=We gave Arturo and Bernardo plenty of room to improvise culturally appropriate dialogue and slang.

===Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck=== {{Main|Huey, Dewey, and Louie}} '''Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck''' (all voiced by Russi Taylor in the 1987 series, ''DuckTales the Movie'', and ''DuckTales: Remastered''; Danny Pudi, Ben Schwartz and Bobby Moynihan in the 2017 series, respectively) are the sons of Della Duck, the nephews of Donald Duck, the grand-nephews of Scrooge McDuck and friends of Webby. They were originally created for the comics by Ted Osborne and Al Taliaferro in 1937.

In the 1987 series, the boys are sent to Scrooge to stay with him, while Donald leaves to join the navy.<ref name="Don't Give Up the Ship" /> 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 voiced the adult Huey, Dewey and Louie in a possible future scenario in the episode "Duck to the Future".<ref name="Duck to the Future">{{cite episode|title=Duck to the Future|series=DuckTales|airdate=December 1, 1987|season=1|number=52}}</ref><ref name="Cotter" />

In the 2017 series, Huey, Dewey, and Louie (short for Hubert, Dewford, and Llewellyn) are slightly older, and each have different appearances, voices, and personalities - Huey, wearing a red polo shirt and cap, is the intelligent older brother and a devoted Junior Woodchuck; Dewey, wearing a blue T-shirt with a light blue long-sleeved T-shirt underneath, is the adventurous, courageous and sensitive middle brother, and the one most eager to find out what happened to their mother Della; and Louie, wearing a green hoodie, is the laid-back, money-obsessed younger brother and a resourceful schemer, 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 boys are sent to stay with Scrooge while Donald attends a job interview during "Woo-oo!",<ref name="Woo-oo!" /> but after renewing Scrooge's spirit for adventure and Dewey accidentally wrecking their houseboat, Donald and the boys move into McDuck Manor and accompany him on his new adventures. Della had initially wanted to name her sons "Jet, Turbo, and Rebel" respectively; but Donald came up with their current names in her absence.<ref name="Nothing Can Stop Della Duck!"/>

===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 a friend of Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck who, like them, also refers to Scrooge as "Uncle Scrooge".

In the 1987 series, Webby visually resembles April, May, and June from the Disney comics. 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,<ref name="Cold Duck" /> koalas,<ref name="Back Out in the Outback" /> dinosaurs,<ref name="Dinosaur Ducks" /> or even the Yeti.<ref name="Lost Crown of Genghis Khan" /> Webby is typically wearing a pink shirt and a large bow on her head, she is usually rather timid, and often has difficulties being accepted by the boys,<ref name="Bustle">{{cite web|url=https://www.bustle.com/p/webby-vanderquack-has-a-bigger-role-in-the-ducktales-reboot-representing-adventurous-girls-everywhere-74642|title=Webby Vanderquack Has A Bigger Role In The 'DuckTales' Reboot, Representing Adventurous Girls Everywhere|first=Jack|last=O'Keeffe|publisher=Bustle|date=August 2, 2017 |access-date=July 15, 2018}}</ref> although she is also a capable Junior Woodchuck scout.<ref name="Merit-Time Adventure" />

In the 2017 series, Webby is around the boys' age, being an intellectual nerd and somewhat of an athletic genius, with her character wearing a pink shirt with a blue sleeveless sweater vest, a purple skirt, and a smaller bow on the side of her head. She is also an enthusiastic adventure fan and Clan McDuck historian who idolizes Scrooge and Donald as two of the greatest adventurers of all time.<ref name="LATimes">{{Cite news|url=http://www.imes.com/entertainment/herocomplex/la-et-hc-ducktales-d23-expo-20170715-story.html|title='DuckTales' clip shows a whole new Webby Vanderquack|last=Brown|first=Tracy|date=July 16, 2017|work=Los Angeles Times|access-date=November 9, 2017|language=en-US|issn=0458-3035}}</ref> Having spent most of her life sheltered from the outside world by her grandmother, Webby's curiosity drives her towards new experiences as the boys' 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 surrogate sister, as her optimism and energy often help encourage them.<ref name="LATimes" /><ref name="Bustle" /> In the series finale "The Last Adventure!", it is revealed that Webby is actually a clone of Scrooge originally named "'''April'''", and was created by F.O.W.L. to find the Papyrus of Binding for them until she was rescued and raised by Beakley. Upon learning of this, Scrooge happily accepts Webby as his daughter.<ref name="The Last Adventure!">{{cite episode|title=The Last Adventure!|series=DuckTales|airdate=March 15, 2021|season=3|number=69}}</ref>

===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 pilot, but is somewhat incompetent and rarely ever lands a plane safely, usually crashing them and walking away without injury.<ref>{{cite web|last=Cronin |first=Brian |url=https://www.cbr.com/ducktales-talespin-launchpad-mcquack/ |title=Was TaleSpin Originally Going to Star Launchpad McQuack? |publisher=CBR |date=March 4, 2018 |access-date=April 23, 2020}}</ref>

In the 1987 series, Launchpad uses the motto "If it has wings, I can crash it". He is introduced in the third part of the pilot episode,<ref name="Three Ducks of the Condor" /> but has been Scrooge's pilot since his early youth.<ref name="Launchpad's First Crash" /> He is of Irish descent and his ancestor Rhubarb McQuack played an important role in the American Civil War,<ref name="Launchpad's Civil War">{{cite episode|title=Launchpad's Civil War|series=DuckTales|airdate=October 20, 1987|season=1|number=27}}</ref> and prior to the series Launchpad used to perform with his parents and sister as the stunt pilot team "The Flying McQuacks".<ref name="Top Duck" /> Aside from being a pilot, he is also a Junior Woodchuck scout leader.<ref name="Superdoo">{{cite episode|title=Superdoo!|series=DuckTales|airdate=October 9, 1987|season=1|number=20}}</ref><ref name="Merit-Time Adventure" /> 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. He later crossed over 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 comic relief. Like his 1987 incarnation, Launchpad is a Junior Woodchuck scout leader.<ref name="Day of the Only Child!">{{cite episode|title=Day of the Only Child!|series=DuckTales|airdate=June 30, 2018|season=1|number=16}}</ref><ref name="Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks!"/> He is also an avid fan of the ''Darkwing Duck'' show-within-a-show (an allusion to his role in the original ''Darkwing Duck'' series), as evidenced by a bobblehead and a series of video tapes he owns as well as his watching the show with the family.<ref name="Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!" /><ref name="The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" /><ref name="The Shadow War!" /><ref name="Friendship Hates Magic!" />

===Bentina Beakley=== '''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), commonly named Mrs. Beakley by others, is the housekeeper and nanny of the household, and the maternal grandmother of Webby. Like her granddaughter, Webby, Beakley is an original ''DuckTales'' character.

In the 1987 series, Beakley is seen as a gentlewoman of upper middle age, sweet on her granddaughter, Webby and typically wearing a purple dress and large white apron over her front and having two hairpins 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.<ref name="Three Ducks of the Condor" /> She has been in the line of work for a long time and used to take care of the young Prince Greydrake,<ref name="Jungle Duck">{{cite episode|title=Jungle Duck|series=DuckTales|airdate=November 25, 1987|season=1|number=53}}</ref> and she has proven to be a capable opera singer.<ref name="Maid of the Myth" />

In the 2017 series, Beakley 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 her 1987 counterpart and has worked for Scrooge for years before the series' had started. Her backstory includes a career as Agent, later Director, 22 of the secret espionage organization S.H.U.S.H., through which she first met Scrooge and adopted his clone, April, as Webby Vanderquack, which led to her retiring as a spy.<ref name="From the Confidential Case Files of Agent 22!" /><ref name="The First Adventure!">{{cite episode|title=The First Adventure!|series=DuckTales|airdate=November 16, 2020|season=3|number=63}}</ref><ref name="The Last Adventure!" /> Though her physical appearance is similar to her 1987 counterpart, with clothing similar to a nanny, and an apron around her waist, she takes offense at being treated as her employer's secretary, and has proven to possess impressive strength.<ref name="The Great Dime Chase!" /> Her nationality has also been changed to British. After years of being overprotective of Webby, the nephews' arrival causes her to agree to let her be a part of Scrooge's adventures.<ref name="Woo-oo!" /> Donald and Della refer to her as "Mrs. B". Beakley and Donald did 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.<ref name="Daytrip of Doom!" /> Initially, Beakley also dislikes Webby's friend Lena, regarding her as a bad influence, but after Lena saves her life she becomes more accepting of her.<ref name="Terror of the Terra-firmians!" /> Beakley's relationship with Scrooge's butler Duckworth is frosty, due to him criticizing her housework.<ref name="McMystery at McDuck McManor!" />

===Donald Duck=== {{Main|Donald Duck}} '''Donald Duck''' (voiced by Tony Anselmo) is a signature Disney character, originally debuting in the 1934 animated short "The Wise Little Hen", the nephew of Scrooge McDuck, the older twin brother of Della Duck, and the uncle of her sons Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck.

In the 1987 series, his appearance was deliberately downplayed to give more focus to Scrooge and the boys.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.avclub.com/article/iducktalesi-invented-a-new-animated-wonderlandthat-92324 |title=DuckTales invented a new animated wonderland—that quickly disappeared|first=Emily|last=VanDerWerff|publisher=The A.V.

He is not seen in the later seasons, so it is assumed that he was serving the navy full-time or they didn't allow him to go ashore anymore. In the original show Donald wears clothing resembling his current attire but has some minor differences such as the accents on his sleeves are red, he has no bow tie and he wears a white navy sailor hat.

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 his background with his uncle. In the show, he, Della, and Scrooge used to go on their adventures 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.<ref name="The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" /> 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 to get him to babysit the boys.<ref name="Woo-oo!" /> After a mishap leads him to becoming involved in a new adventure with Scrooge, and losing 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 and has some features similar to his 1930s appearance, the white accents, the four buttons and the white sailor hat. Like in the comics, Donald's main character traits are his bad luck and short temper, though he is also trying to be a good parent figure to his nephews. In "What Ever Happened to Donald Duck?!", it is revealed that his anger stems from a fear that the world was out to get him and that no one could understand him. After Della had the boys and taking anger management counseling with Jones, he channeled his anger into protecting his nephews like they were his sons.<ref name="What Ever Happened to Donald Duck?!" /> Additionally, Don Cheadle provides an alternate voice for Donald in "The Shadow War!"<ref>{{cite AV media|url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hXx3lsorQWw|title=DuckTales: Don Cheadle IS Donald Duck {{!}} Comic-Con 2018 Exclusive {{!}} Disney Channel|publisher=Disney Channel|date=July 20, 2018|type=Video|via=YouTube}}</ref><ref name="The Shadow War!" /> and "Quack Pack!"<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.dgepress.com/disneyxd/shows/ducktales/episodes/quack-pack/ |title=Quack Pack! |publisher=Dgepress.com |access-date=April 23, 2020|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200321034053/https://www.wdtvpress.com/disneyxd/shows/ducktales/episodes/quack-pack/|archive-date=March 21, 2020}}</ref><ref name="Quack Pack!">{{cite episode|title=Quack Pack!|series=DuckTales|airdate=April 4, 2020|season=3|number=48}}</ref> while Russi Taylor and Cristina Vee voice the young Donald in "Last Christmas!" and "The First Adventure!" respectively.<ref name="Last Christmas!" /><ref name="The First Adventure!" /> Chris Diamantopoulos also provided an alternate voice for Donald in "Moonvasion!"<ref name="Moonvasion!" /> when the sailor imitated a voice for a melon he found to keep himself from going insane.

==Main antagonists== ===The Beagle Boys=== {{Main|Beagle Boys}} '''The Beagle Boys'''{{anchor|Beagle Boys}} are a large family of dogs who constantly try to rob banks or Scrooge's Money Bin and the show's most frequently appearing antagonists. They were originally created by Carl Barks in 1951, and given individual names, looks, and personalities for their ''DuckTales'' incarnation.

The 1987 series version of the Beagle Boys, introduced in the five-part pilot,<ref name="Don't Give Up the Ship" /> includes seven main Beagle Boys, with four of them appearing throughout the series:

* '''Bigtime Beagle''' (voiced by Frank Welker in the 1987 series and ''DuckTales: Remastered''; Eric Bauza in the 2017 series<ref name="EW170608"/>) – A short, cunning beagle who is second-in-command of the Beagle Boys and leads when his Ma is not around. In the 2017 series, he debuts in "Daytrip of Doom!"<ref name="Daytrip of Doom!" /> and is the leader of "the Original Classics". This version is far more dimwitted than the original and is always trying to win Ma Beagle's approval by pulling off grand schemes that go horribly awry.<ref name="Daytrip of Doom!" /><ref name="The Golden Armory Of Cornelius Coot!">{{cite episode|title=The Golden Armory Of Cornelius Coot!|series=DuckTales|airdate=September 6, 2019|season=2|number=43}}</ref> * '''Burger Beagle''' (voiced by Chuck McCann in the 1987 series and ''DuckTales: Remastered''; Eric Bauza in the 2017 series<ref name="EW170608"/>) – A dimwitted yet happy-go-lucky beagle who is constantly hungry. In the 2017 series, he debuts in "Daytrip of Doom!"<ref name="Daytrip of Doom!" /> and is a member of the Original Classics. While this version simply grunts, he is slimmer and more intelligent than his '80s counterpart. * '''Bouncer Beagle''' (voiced by Chuck McCann in the 1987 series and ''DuckTales: Remastered''; Eric Bauza in the 2017 series<ref name="EW170608"/>) – A hefty beagle who usually serves as a set of muscles for the group. In the 2017 series, he debuts in "Daytrip of Doom!",<ref name="Daytrip of Doom!" /> and is a member of the Original Classics. This version is now the same size as the 1987 series' Bankjob. * '''Baggy Beagle''' (voiced by Frank Welker in the 1987 series and ''DuckTales: Remastered'') – A dopey beagle who dresses in baggy clothes and is most likely the least intelligent member of the group. Unlike Bigtime, Burger and Bouncer, Baggy did not appear in the 2017 series. * Alongside Bigtime, Burger, Bouncer, and Baggy, the first season of the 1987 series also included three additional main Beagle Boys, who each appear in a handful of episodes before making their final, non-speaking, appearance in "Super DuckTales":<ref name="Full Metal Duck" /> ** '''Bankjob Beagle''' (voiced by Peter Cullen) – A burly beagle who runs the Beagle Boys when Bigtime and Ma are not around.<ref name="Hero for Hire" /><ref name="Robot Robbers" /><ref name="Time Teasers" /> ** '''Babyface Beagle''' (voiced by Terry McGovern) – A small and clean-shaven beagle who dresses like a little kid with a distinctive propeller beanie.<ref name="Hero for Hire" /><ref name="Send in the Clones" /><ref name="Robot Robbers" /><ref name="Time Teasers" /> ** '''Bugle Beagle''' (voiced by Brian Cummings) – A lanky beagle with a passion for music and poetry who is also sometimes called '''Bebop'''.<ref name="Hero for Hire" /><ref name="Time Teasers" /><ref name="Scroogerello" /> :In the 2017 series, Babyface, Bankjob, and Bugle belong to a previous generation of Beagles led by Grandpappy Beagle, as seen in "Last Christmas!", in which the trio make a minor, non-speaking appearance.<ref name="Last Christmas!" />

*'''Ma Beagle''' (voiced by June Foray in the 1987 series; Margo Martindale in the 2017 series<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ew.com/tv/2017/09/21/ducktales-margo-martindale/|title=Watch Margo Martindale's Ma Beagle Debut in the DuckTales reboot|first=Marc|last=Snetiker|date=September 21, 2017|publisher=Entertainment Weekly}}</ref><ref name="EW170608"/>) – The mother and leader of the gang. She was created for the original ''DuckTales'' and modeled after real-life gang leader Ma Barker.<ref name="Mental Floss" /> Ma has more experience than her boys, and always takes charge when she is around. The 1987 version is introduced in "Robot Robbers",<ref name="Robot Robbers">{{cite episode|title=Robot Robbers|series=DuckTales|airdate=September 27, 1987|season=1|number=10}}</ref> and plays major roles in "Super DuckTales", where she celebrates her birthday,<ref name="Liquid Assets"/> and "The Bride Wore Stripes", where she poses as Scrooge's wife to gain access to his money.<ref name="The Bride Wore Stripes">{{cite episode|title=The Bride Wore Stripes|series=DuckTales|airdate=November 14, 1989|season=3|number=89}}</ref> In the 2017 series, Ma manages a junkyard, as seen in her debut in "Daytrip of Doom!".<ref name="Daytrip of Doom!">{{cite episode|title=Daytrip of Doom!|series=DuckTales|airdate=September 23, 2017|season=1|number=2}}</ref> This version is also portrayed as being much more callous and contemptuous when it comes to her sons compared to the original. In "McMystery at McDuck McManor!", it is revealed that she attempted to steal the deed to Duckburg from Scrooge after he stole it from her "poor, defenseless" Grandpappy Beagle.<ref name="McMystery at McDuck McManor!" /> In "GlomTales!", her first name is mentionead as "Katherine" by Glomgold.<ref name="GlomTales!"/> In "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!" and "The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!", the Beagles temporarily took Fort Duckburg and called it "Beagleburg" before Scrooge took the deed back and Ma took control of the Beagles from her father, Pappy Beagle.<ref name="The Golden Armory Of Cornelius Coot!"/><ref name="The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!">{{cite episode|title=The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!|series=DuckTales|airdate=September 23, 2017|season=3|number=68}}</ref>

In the 2017 series, several groups of minor Beagle Boys (all voiced by Eric Bauza) appear in "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!":<ref name="The Beagle Birthday Massacre!" />

Later on in the 2017 series, additional members of the Beagle family (voiced by Eric Bauza) also appear:

* '''Black Arts Beagle''' – A Beagle Boy who dabbles in magic who appears in "McMystery at McDuck McManor!"<ref name="McMystery at McDuck McManor!" /> where he shows up at Scrooge's birthday party under his stage name "Nik Nokturne", and unintentionally brings back the ghost of Duckworth.

===Flintheart Glomgold=== {{Main|Flintheart Glomgold}} '''Flintheart Glomgold''' (voiced by Hal Smith in the 1987 series; Brian George in ''DuckTales: Remastered''; Keith Ferguson in the 2017 series<ref name="EW170608">{{cite web|url=https://ew.com/tv/2017/06/08/ducktales-exclusive-characters-cast/|title=DuckTales exclusive: Meet the new faces of Duckburg!|first=Marc|last=Snetiker|date=June 8, 2017|publisher=Entertainment Weekly}}</ref>) is Scrooge's archenemy, 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 rewritten to be of Scottish descent for ''DuckTales''.<ref name="FW">{{Cite news|url=https://thefw.com/things-you-didnt-know-about-ducktales/|title= 9 things you didn't know about 'ducktales'|last=Franks|first=Sara|date=April 18, 2013|work=The FW|access-date=July 19, 2018}}</ref>

In the 1987 series, he first appears in the second part of the pilot episode,<ref name="Wronguay In Ronguay">{{cite episode|title=Treasure of the Golden Suns (Part 2): Wronguay In Ronguay|series=DuckTales|airdate=September 18, 1987|season=1|number=2}}</ref> and typically comes up with schemes to earn money at Scrooge's expense to surpass Scrooge as the 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.<ref>{{cite episode|title=In Like Blunt|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=February 24, 1992|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=50}}</ref>

In the 2017 series, debuting in "Woo-oo!",<ref name="Woo-oo!" /> he runs Glomgold Industries and makes his fortune through personal branding; preferring to develop his products as cheaply as possible. In this series, Glomgold is characterized as comically unhinged, to the point where other characters do not take his schemes seriously. Additionally, his aversion towards Scrooge is both personal and professional, as he does not shy away from attempting to kill him and willingly shows up at his wake to celebrate his death.<ref name="The 87 Cent Solution!" /> In "The Ballad of Duke Baloney!", after recovering from amnesia caused by the events of "The Shadow War!",<ref name="The Shadow War!" /> 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 in an attempt to teach him self-reliance and hard work, he changed his name to "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" between them. After Glomgold regained his memory, he makes a bet with Scrooge and, throughout the second season, they compete to become richer by the end of the year, with the winner getting the loser's company.<ref name="The Ballad of Duke Baloney!">{{cite episode|title=The Ballad of Duke Baloney!|series=DuckTales|airdate=November 3, 2018|season=2|number=26}}</ref> In "GlomTales!", Glomgold forms an alliance with several of Scrooge's greatest enemies and Louie in a last-ditch effort to win the bet. He seemingly wins after Louie convinces the other villains to pool their resources with Glomgold's, but he ends up losing everything to Louie because "Flintheart Glomgold" is not his real name and he signed a contract stating everything would revert to his partner, Louie, forcing him to escape from the angry villains after they turn on him.<ref name="GlomTales!">{{cite episode|title=GlomTales!|series=DuckTales|airdate=September 10, 2019|season=2|number=22}}</ref> Despite what happened, he returns in "Moonvasion!" to help Scrooge defeat the Moonlanders with one of his insane schemes since General Lunaris had a counter for all of Scrooge's plans, and trick him into returning his company to him.<ref name="Moonvasion!" />

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".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://disneyducks990416671.wordpress.com/2017/07/30/duke-of-baloni-the-other-or-other-other-second/|title=Duke of Baloni, the other… or {{not a typo|other ot|her}} second richest duck|website=disneyducks990416671.wordpress.com|date=July 30, 2017}}</ref>

At the last second though, she used a spell to create Lena from a part of her shadow, thus remaining in contact with the outside world.<ref name="The Shadow War!" /> In the present, empowered by the eclipse, Magica regains her physical form and traps Scrooge in his Number One Dime while exacting her revenge by attacking Duckburg. After a climactic battle in Scrooge's Money Bin, Magica is defeated by the Ducks and rendered powerless, forcing her to escape.<ref name="The Shadow War!" /> In "A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!", she returns to haunt Lena and the kids in their dreams using a telepathic helmet as Lena has part of her powers, but was ultimately foiled after Lena destroys her helmet.<ref name="A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!">{{cite episode|title=A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!|series=DuckTales|airdate=September 5, 2019|season=2|number=19}}</ref> In "GlomTales!", while forced to work as a birthday party magician, Magica joins Glomgold's alliance to destroy Scrooge and his family, only to be defeated once again.<ref name="GlomTales!"/> In "The Phantom and the Sorceress", Webby, Lena, and Violet come to Magica for help in training Lena to use her magic to stop the Phantom Blot, which Magica reluctantly agreed to due to his vendetta against her for destroying his village. Once the Phantom Blot was defeated, Magica regained her powers, but is driven off by Lena.<ref name="The Phantom and the Sorceress!">{{cite episode|title=The Phantom and the Sorceress!|series=DuckTales|airdate=September 21, 2020|season=3|number=55}}</ref> In "The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!", it is revealed that she and Poe once ruled a village together, with the latter ensuring she wasn't too impulsive with their magic. Her first encounter with Scrooge occurred here and she accidentally turned Poe into a raven, who flew off after Scrooge refused to stop him. Magica tried to find Poe, but was unable to and swore revenge against Scrooge.<ref name="The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!" />

The episode "Hotel Strangeduck" features a character named Ludwig von Strangeduck, who is a distinct character but has some resemblance to von Drake.

In the 2017 series, he is an old colleague of Scrooge's,<ref name="Raiders of the Doomsday Vault!"/> and debuts in "From the Confidential Case Files of Agent 22!", appearing in a flashback segment set in 1968 as the resourceful director of international spy organization S.H.U.S.H.<ref name="Solving Mysteries and Rewriting History!">{{cite book|title=DuckTales: Solving Mysteries and Rewriting History!|author1=Renzetti, Rob|author2=Vine, Rachel|url=https://books.disney.com/book/ducktales-solving-mysteries-and-rewriting-history/|access-date=August 11, 2018|date=July 3, 2018|publisher=Disney Press|isbn=978-1-368-00841-9|archive-date=May 27, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190527045838/https://books.disney.com/book/ducktales-solving-mysteries-and-rewriting-history/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="From the Confidential Case Files of Agent 22!">{{cite episode|title=From the Confidential Case Files of Agent 22!|series=DuckTales|airdate=July 7, 2018|season=1|number=17}}</ref><ref name="The First Adventure!" /> In the present day, Von Drake's children Corvus, Anya, and Klara have taken over some of his duties, including the management of his Arctic "doomsday vault" (inspired by the Svalbard Global Seed Vault<ref>{{cite tweet|last=Bateman|first=Madison|user=madisonbateman|number=1128405520195284992|title=I wrote today's episode of #DuckTales and it's no secret - I LOVE SEED VAULTS and their role in our changing world.

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 Don Rosa's 12-part comic book series "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck".<ref name="Life and Times">"The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" by Don Rosa, Gemstone Publishing, {{ISBN|0-911903-96-8}}</ref>

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",<ref name="Once Upon a Dime">{{cite episode |title= Once Upon a Dime|series= DuckTales|airdate= December 24, 1987 |season=1 |number=61}}</ref> where they are shown living as farmers in a small cottage. They are also alluded to in the episode "The Curse of Castle McDuck", which also mentioned the family castle being built by Scrooge's great-great-grandfather Silas McDuck, a character who makes his only appearance here.<ref name="The Curse of Castle McDuck">{{cite episode|title=The Curse of Castle McDuck|series=DuckTales|airdate=October 19, 1987|season=1|number=26}}</ref>

Initially in the 2017 series, Downy and Fergus only appear in portraits at McDuck Manor,<ref name="Woo-oo!" /> after which they make their proper debut in "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!".<ref name="The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!">{{cite episode|title=The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!|series=DuckTales|airdate=August 4, 2017|season=1|number=21}}</ref> Due to Scrooge using magical druid stones to rebuild their ancestral castle so his parents could move back in there, Downy and Fergus have become immortal, and the castle is only accessible to the rest of the world once every five years. Scrooge and Fergus' relationship is shown to be a conflicted one, while Downy happily greets her visiting family.<ref name="The Fight for Castle McDuck!" />

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.<ref name="Woo-oo!" /> Several additional ancestors are referred to in "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!",<ref name="The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!" /> and further evolved upon in the tie-in book "DuckTales: Solving Mysteries and Rewriting History!”.<ref name="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''; Dee Bradley Baker in the 2017 series) is a young caveduck that Scrooge adopts. The character was originally pitched by Tad Stones as "Bubbaduck".<ref name="Cartoon Quarterly" /><ref name="AWN" />

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 Webby and the boys.<ref name="Bubba's Big Brainstorm" />

In the 2017 series, Bubba and Tootsie are introduced in "Timephoon", when Louie's latest get-rich-quick scheme involving Gyro's Time Tub causes historical people to appear in the present while sending his family to different time periods. Bubba proves to be highly adaptive, immediately adjusting to life in the future, and is implied to be the original ancestor of Clan McDuck. Meanwhile, Tootsie is re-imagined as an aggressive young dinosaur with no relationship with Bubba due to being from an earlier time period than him.<ref name="Timephoon!">{{cite episode|title=Timephoon!|series=DuckTales|airdate=September 9, 2019|season=2|number=44}}</ref>

The Gizmoduck character was originally pitched by Tad Stones as "Roboduck" (inspired by the film ''RoboCop''), alongside "Bubbaduck" (which evolved into Bubba the Caveduck) and "Spaceduck" (who never made it to the show), and made his debut in the second season.<ref name="Cartoon Quarterly">Cawley, John: ''Bear and Duck Tales — Disney Animation Comes to TV'', ''Cartoon Quarterly'' #1, Gladstone Publishing, 1988</ref><ref name="AWN">{{Cite news|url=https://www.awn.com/animationworld/tad-stones-interview-part-2|title= The Tad Stones Interview — Part 2|last=Strike|first=Joe|date=July 12, 2004|work=Animation World Network|access-date=July 9, 2018}}</ref>

Furthermore, his regular dogged attempts to rectify his mistakes tend to make things worse until he ultimately succeeds. He exhibits a remarkably different personality in his role as Gizmoduck (a dual identity only known to Scrooge and Fenton's mother), as his high-powered suit gives him the courage to make daring decisions and act as a strong leader and a hero. Aside from Fenton, other characters temporarily use the Gizmosuit, such as Launchpad,<ref name="A Case of Mistaken Secret Identity" /> M'Ma,<ref name="The Duck Who Knew Too Much" /> the boys, and Webby.<ref name="New Gizmo-Kids on the Block" /> Gizmoduck (Fenton) also makes a few guest appearances in ''Darkwing Duck''.<ref>{{cite episode|title=Just Us Justice Ducks, Part 1|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=October 2, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=20}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode|title=Just Us Justice Ducks, Part 2|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=October 3, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=21}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode|title=Tiff of the Titans|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=October 19, 1991|season=1 (ABC)|number=72}}</ref><ref name="Up, Up and Awry">{{cite episode|title=Up, Up and Awry|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=November 14, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=34}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode|title=Darkwing Doubloon|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=December 16, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=40}}</ref>

During a battle with the De Spells, Scrooge riled up Magica, causing her to ignore her brother's warnings and accidentally transform Poe into a non-verbal, non-anthropomorphic raven. Despite Magica begging for help, Scrooge allowed Poe to fly out of a broken window, never to be seen again.
