* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Lord Dragaunus]], ArchEnemy of the Ducks, is a reptilian foe with only one desire in life--[[EvilOverlord putting every civilization he sees under his iron rule]]. Invading Puckworld, Dragaunus has his drones ravage cities and has its inhabitants enslaved. Making his way to Earth after losing his base on Puckworld, Dragaunus repeatedly orchestrates schemes which would allow him to conquer the planet--with him wanting the destruction of entire cities to cow humanity into submission. Dragaunus is also the benefactor of some villains, providing more trouble for the Ducks--with one instance almost ending with the Ducks suffering a conscious dissection. Dragaunus is also an [[BadBoss abusive master to his allies]]--with him subjecting one to [[AndIMustScream eternal imprisonment in dimensional limbo]]. In the series finale, Dragaunus attempts to open a dimensional rift to free his species from their interdimensional prison to grant him the opportunity to subject the entire universe to his despotic delusions.
