[[folder: Dag]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_53265.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/DavidKoechner

A cruel and carnivorous coyote.

----
* AxCrazy: He's a psychopathic "lady killer" in his own words. Not only does he keep parts of the corpses of his prey to use as trophies, he clearly gets a kick out of killing other animals. It's subtly implied that not even humans are safe from him, as he tells Otis that, if he breaks their deal, he and his pack will slaughter everyone in the farm, the farmer being presumably included.
* BigBad: The leader of the coyote pack that is terrorizing the farm. Naturally, he is also the most cunning and dangerous of them all.
* DirtyCoward: Dag prefers to sic his pack on others and waits for an opportunity to sneak attack others when they don't see him coming. He also begs and cowers for his life the moment things go south for him.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The very first thing he does in the movie is sneaking into the chicken coop with his pack and terrorizing the hens with his chain, which is decorated with the legs of his previous victims, all while sadistically chuckling. All of it demonstrates just how [[AxCrazy murderous and out of his mind he really is]].
* KickTheDog: If killing Ben and mocking Otis about it wasn't bad enough, he also tries to eat Maddy just because she called him a "meaner".
* KnightOfCerebus: The comedic tone of the film drops like a rock whenever he appears, not helped by his sadistic demeanour.
* ThoseWilyCoyotes
* WouldHurtAChild: He certainly wasn't going to spare Maddy just because of her young age.
