Mano

Voiced by: Antonia Rey (Maria)

Maria: "Our casa is your casa... Which means what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine. All MINE."


A duo of Mexican robbers who take refuge at the Bagge household on their run from the cops. Maria then orchestrates a plan to commit a new string of thefts by shifting the blame onto Muriel. Her partner, by the way, is a disembodied hand.


  • Con Man: Maria. She takes advantage of Muriel's good nature to assume her identity, then frame her for a theft she committed.
  • Criminal Doppelgänger: Maria is a criminal who looks a little like Muriel, a fact she uses to frame her for her crimes.
  • Evil Counterpart: Invoked. Maria changes her appearance to look like Muriel to frame her.
  • Evil Hand: Mano is just a large, disembodied hand.
  • Fat Bitch: Maria is as obese as Muriel, but has none of her genuine niceness.
  • Meaningful Name: Mano is a disembodied hand, and his name is Spanish for "hand". Likewise, the duo's surname, "Ladrones", is Spanish for "thieves".
  • Outlaw Couple: Maria and Mano are a pair of married criminals.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Maria's Muriel disguise shouldn't have fooled anyone due to her beauty mark, lack of glasses, dark skin, and reddish eyes, yet everyone believes Muriel committed the crime due to Maria leaving behind several of Muriel's personal belongings at the scene of the crime.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Maria. Though her eyes are more of an orangish-red, it's still close enough to count as this trope.

    Mecha-Courage 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/courage_vs_mecha_courage.jpg
"Bow-wow."

A Do-Anything Robot with a paint job resembling Courage's fur, made by Di Lung in order to make "better dog". It does everything Courage can do and more, which makes it start taking over his life.


  • Always Someone Better: As Di Lung boasts, Mecha-Courage can beat Courage at anything. Subverted as it is a machine, and it has to run out of juice sooner or later.
  • Character Catchphrase: Its monotone 'barking': "BOW-WOW."
  • Evil Counterpart: A mechanical Courage without any of the love of the real Courage.
  • Informed Species: Looks absolutely nothing like a dog, he looks more like Roomba someone glued fake ears on.
  • Jerkass: It has no remorse for any of Courage's pain, beating him within an inch of his life. To the point where it's arguably one of the most hateful villains on the show.
  • Logical Weakness: Sure, it can probably resist a lot of things, but as pointed out above, it has to run out of energy sooner or later. Not only that, it can deal a lot of abuse, but Courage is an expert at taking it, meaning it eventually overloads itself when "fighting" him since there's nothing else it can possibly do.
  • Robot Dog: Designed to be a perfect "dog", despite barely looking like one.
  • Robot Me: A robotic counterpart to Courage. Although the only real parallels between the two are their color schemes.
  • Robot Names: Is called Mecha-Courage to distinguish itself from the real Courage.

    The Raccoon Twins 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raccoons.png

Two mischievous raccoons who terrorized Courage and the Bagges when they went camping.


  • Anti-Villain: All they really want is a parental figure to have fun with them.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: They become Courage's friends after he scares Eustace into letting them go, later retuning the favor by hunting him back.
  • The Cameo: They are seen among the audience of animals during Eustace and the Buck's game of Hunt for Knowledge in "Farmer Hunter, Farmer Hunted".
  • Dark Is Not Evil: They're pretty damn mean, but not evil.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: They're definitely jealous of Courage's bond with Muriel, which is part of why they kidnap her to stay with them. The trope is later averted when Courage saves them from Eustace.
  • Identical Twin ID Tag: Their eye colours. One has orange eyes and the other has blue.
  • Nightmare Fetishists: They enjoy scary movies.
  • Rascally Raccoons: Their pranks are a bit more mean-spirited than is normal, but it fits.
  • Ridiculously Cute Critters: Especially when they're watching a movie with Muriel.
  • Shout-Out: Possibly to the Twins from Peter Pan, who were both dressed as raccoons. Their designs are this to Avery, a racoon from a rather obscure Dilworth short made for preschoolers (yes, you read right).

    Velvet Vic 

Voiced by: John R. Dilworth

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vv_2.jpg

"Groovy-o, daddy-o!"


An old singer whom Eustace was a big fan of. His spirit is trapped in a vinyl record, and he's looking for someone to take his place.


  • Affably Evil: Despite being responsible for Muriel's brief imprisonment, he seems to genuinely like Eustace.
  • Amazing Technicolor Population: He has light purple skin.
  • Character Catchphrase: He frequently says "DRAAAAAGSVIIIILE..." whenever something bad happens.
  • Disco Dan: He seems to come from a long time ago, probably the mid-20th century, when Eustace was young.
  • Evil Redhead: He is pretty ruthless, which may explain why Shirley imprisoned him.
  • Logical Weakness: His curse seems to be tied to a specific song, so changing the medium (vinyl to CD) doesn't seem to affect it as long as it's played during his concert.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: His spirit was sealed within one of his records, and he wants to escape by having someone take his place in imprisonment, focusing on Muriel because of her piano skills.
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: Always dressed for a concert.
  • Slasher Smile: He always has this big and unnatural grin, which makes him look both fake and unctuous, especially when he imprisons old ladies to save his skin.
  • Totally Radical: He speaks entirely in 1950s hepcat slang such as "Dragsville" and "Groovy-yo, daddy yo!"

    The Storm Goddess and Duncan 

Voiced by: Ashley Albert (Storm Goddess)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stormgodness.jpg
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/duncan.png

"He's MY dog, and that's that!"


A weather goddess who lost her dog, Duncan. She mistakes Courage for her lost pet, and chaos ensues.


  • Anti-Villain: The Storm Goddess is only antagonistic because she wants her lost pet back. Otherwise, she isn't really malicious.
  • Argument of Contradictions: When Muriel objects to her taking Courage for herself, they get into an argument over who he belongs to that devolves into them just shouting "MINE!" back and forth.
  • Blow You Away: She can cause windstorms when angered.
  • Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: When the Storm Goddess tries to dognap Courage, Muriel isn't afraid to argue with her over him. This while the goddess' storm is becoming stronger to the point of causing a localized hurricane.
  • Dogs Are Dumb: Duncan, who is seen mindlessly licking the God Bone and doesn't seem much less mindless when he gets over it.
  • Evil Redhead: Not really evil, just very stubborn.
  • Fiery Redhead: She is definitely very short-tempered.
  • Identical Stranger: Resembles the show's Parachute Girl. The cartoon really liked reusing character designs.
  • Impossibly Delicious Food: The God Bone, which no dog can resist licking.
  • Jerkass Gods: She tears through the Bagge farmhouse in search of her dog, with no regard to who gets hurt in the process.
  • Lean and Mean: The goddess and Duncan are both exceptionally thin and not very nice.
  • Noodle People: Has skinny limbs and torso much like the Parachute Girl, who she greatly resembles.
  • Personal Raincloud: Follows her around everywhere, and changes the weather it produces depending on her mood. Makes sense, considering she's a storm goddess.
  • Physical God: She is of course an anthropomorphic weather deity.
  • Replacement Goldfish: She's distraught over Duncan's disappearance but is willing to take Courage as a suitable replacement.
  • Reused Character Design: She is blatantly the Parachute Lady with different colors and clad in a toga.
  • Sassy Black Woman: Not a traditional example, but she's very argumentative.
  • Weather Manipulation: She can control the weather.

    The Sandman 

Voiced by: Paul Schoeffler

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sadman.jpg

"I bring deep, sandy sleep to the world, and yet... I can't sleep..."


The bringer of sleep and dreams. However, he has so much difficulty trying to sleep that even his herd of sheep can't help him anymore, so he chooses to take Muriel's sleep literally from under her nose.


  • Amazing Technicolor Population: He has blue-gray skin.
  • Badass Cape: A high-collared affair that looks really cool when he flies with it.
  • Comically Missing the Point: When Courage discovers the Sandman stole Muriel's sleeping sand, he refuses to let the Sandman go to sleep until he returns it to Muriel by blocking the Sandman from his bed. Sandman complains the bed's not big enough for both of them. Ironically, the bed looks really big and seems to have more than enough area for both of them in such a scenario.
  • Domino Mask: A classic, eyes-whited-out version. Who he'd need to protect his identity from is an open question.
  • Evil Brit: Subverted. He's not evil, he just wants to be able to sleep.
  • Lean and Mean: Very thin and the antagonist of his episode. But he's not a bad guy; he just really wants to get some sleep.
  • Noodle People: It's particularly notable when he flies, and his whole body flaps in the wind like a limp noodle.
  • Pointy Ears: Much like everything else on him, really. It's meant to give him a fey, elfin look.
  • Public Domain Character: He's The Sandman himself.
  • The Sleepless: His scheme is mainly because he can't sleep himself. Turns out the reason he lost his natural ability to sleep was because he lost his teddy bear. When Courage finds it by pure luck, the Sandman returns Muriels sleep.
  • Smug Snake: He comes off this way when Courage meets him, mostly because he's a little pissed that he was woken up from his first sleep in years.

    Computer Virus 

Voiced by: Arnold Stang

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p_3.jpg

"I'm sick, and now I gotta deal with you!?"


A sentient malware program who plagues the Computer one day and takes Muriel hostage inside the virtual world.


  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: It forces the Computer to digitize Muriel so he'll have someone who can possibly help him with his sickness.
  • Anti-Villain: The virus isn't evil, it's just looking to cure itself from a harsh flu and is running out of ideas after the artichoke syrup soup Muriel was looking for didn't help. The problem is that he's SO desperate that he's resorted to kidnapping Muriel and won't let her go unless he finds a solution that works for him (and isn't leeches).
  • Bizarre Alien Biology: His body is a string of binary arranged and merged into a worm-like form.
  • Expy: Resembles Mustafa al Bacterius from "Mission to the Sun". He's even voiced by the same person.
  • Gag Nose: His nose is bulbous.
  • Gonk: He has a comically ugly countenance.
  • Irony: Despite being a sentient computer virus whose sole reason for existing is for infecting other computers, he's come down with an actual illness.
  • Orcus on His Throne: After escaping with Muriel in his grasp, he spends the rest of the episode laying down on his chair and sneezing.
  • Picky Eater: Apparently doesn't like to eat something if it's "organic".
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Vinegar is his favorite, which is fortunate when he is informed what the gelatin given to him is made of.
    Computer Virus: Vinegar? Why didn't you say so? I love vinegar!

    The Valkyries and the Trolls 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/valkyries_7.png

Two opposing factions met by the Bagges in their trip to Norway. The Valkyries are engaged in war with the Trolls, but their sister Brunhilde is missing and a series of coincidences lead them into thinking Muriel is their sister.


  • Anti-Villain: The Valkyries only want their sister back to fight in the war they're a part of, and the Trolls seem to be mostly trying to defend themselves, only trying to eat Courage for dinner after thinking he's a spy from the Valkyries.
  • Brawn Hilda: All of them are Norse women with large builds. Being opera singing Valkyries, this is to be expected.
  • Character Catchphrase: "Yo-to-ho!" for the Valkyries.
  • Grossup Close Up: A detailed closeup is given of one of the Valkyries' fist after she slams through the vacation house Muriel's in. She has some nice Knuckle Tattoos, though (the letters of "LOVE").
  • Leitmotif: As expected, "Ride of the Valkyries" serves as their theme music.
  • Musical Episode: Played with. The Valkyries sing their lines and the whole thing plays out like a Norse-inspired opera take on Romeo and Juliet (with a much happier ending), except no one else in the episode sings their lines like the Valkyries. The one other character who sings is the Troll that Brunhilde is in love with, to show how much he truly loves her, and the rest of the cast only joins in when the conflict is settled.
  • Power of Love: Courage stepping in as a minister to marry the Troll King and Brunhilde in front of their fellows settles the dispute on the spot and erases their animosity.
  • Star-Crossed Lovers: Brunhilde and the Troll King, who are supposed to be mortal enemies. They truly do love each other, but their respective clans are engaged in war with one another, so Brunhilde had to hide away with the King so they could be together.
  • Shout-Out: The Norweigian Blue.
  • Stout Strength: The Valkyries are thick, round, and with the strength of ten men.
  • Toothy Bird: The Norweigian Blue.

    Conway the Contaminationist 

Voiced by: Peter Fernandez

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/conway.png

"Live longer! Live better!"


An elderly man who claims that he extended his lifespan through terrible hygiene. He attempts to get Eustace and Muriel to adopt his lifestyle, but it makes the family miserable instead.


  • Ambiguously Evil: It's not entirely clear if he thinks his lifestyle is actually working for the Bagges or realizes that he's killing them and simply doesn't care.
  • Ambiguously Human: His appearance and his lifestyle are positively alien, but there's nothing else to suggest that he's anything but a very strange-looking human with an odd body chemistry.
  • Bald of Evil: He doesn't have much hair on his head.
  • Bizarre Human Biology: The guy has a point about living longer with his lifestyle: He claims to be 193 years old. He even required sludge to drink to fully recover from his plane crash injuries. The problem is that when he tries to make other people adapt to his way of living, he doesn't seem to realize such a lifestyle only benefits him and him alone.
  • Character Catchphrase: "Live long like Conway!"
  • Charlie Brown Baldness: He has a few odd strands of hair here and there.
  • Con Man: Maybe. It's not clear if he thinks his lifestyle is actually beneficial to others, or is just a freeloader who loves being dirty.
  • Evil Old Folks: A 193-year-old man who's Ambiguously Evil.
  • Evil Sounds Raspy: His voice is very raspy.
  • The Noseless: His nose seems to have rotted off a long time ago.
  • Obliviously Evil: He means well, he's just not aware of the harm his lifestyle causes to other people.
  • The Pig-Pen: Obviously, Conway loves rolling in filth and thinks any form of cleanliness or hygiene is abhorrent.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: He insists that being completely filthy all the time is healthy for you (or so he claims).

    Professor Mean 

Voiced by: John R. Dilworth

"An intruder?! Well, I guess it's CURTAINS for you!"


A diminutive scientist who built a machine capable of creating a giant energy "curtain" that sweeps across Nowhere and makes anyone it touches a mean, cruel person.


  • Acquired Poison Immunity: Neither Courage nor Muriel are affected by the Cruelty Curtain, the former due to Muriel's fabric softener making him feel warm and cozy on his own, and the latter for her inherent goodness. Too bad Eustace is also immune to the Kindness Curtain later on due to being such a huge Jerkass.
  • Energy Weapon: The eponymous "Curtain of Cruelty", a huge energy wall that sweeps across the land and makes people and animals become cruel and mean-spirited.
  • For the Evulz: The Professor doesn't seem to have any major objective other than making people become as miserable as himself.
  • Good Colors, Evil Colors: The Cruelty Curtain is a hard, vivid pink, while the Kindness Curtain that Courage ends up creating is a soft, tender blue.
  • Hate Plague: Any living creature touched by the Curtain becomes mean-spirited and hateful, bringing harm to others just because they can (an environment Eustace naturally uses to his advantage). Only a few select people are immune to it (Courage because of Muriel's home-made fabric softener, and Muriel herself due to her inherent Incorruptible Pure Pureness).
  • Heel–Face Turn: Mean gets the first taste of the newly-created Kindness Curtain and feels the happiest and kindest he's been in years. It even leads to him becoming mayor.
  • Mad Scientist: A small, cruel scientist who wants people to be as cruel as he is.
  • Reused Character Design: Has the same design as Floyd.

    The Bullfrogs 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_buffo.png
King Buffo

King Buffo: "Need water. Find... NEW pond!"


A tribe of bullfrogs led by their king, Buffo. After their pond dries up, they take over the Bagges' home and forces them to make a new pond.


  • Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Buffo and the smart frog wear nothing but a crown and glasses respectively.
  • Achilles' Heel: They're rather forceful, cruel frogs, but they're still frogs. They won't resist a chance to launch their tongues to catch flies, even if it's on something like fly paper. As for Buffo, intimidating as he is, he's nothing without his subjects.
  • The Brute: One of the frogs is a buff thug that enforces Buffo's will, even being the one to turn Eustace and Muriel into obedient frog-like drones.
  • Hulk Speak: Buffo doesn't seem to have good grammar.
    Buffo: You! Dig pond! Now!
  • Overly-Long Tongue: They're frogs, so this is a given. It's also what does the tribe in by the end.
  • Reptiles Are Abhorrent: These amphibians are not very pleasant.
  • Smart People Wear Glasses: One of the frogs wears glasses and is more intelligent and articulate than the others.
  • To Serve Man: The frogs decide to roast Muriel and Eustace over a fire, as petty revenge over humans eating frog legs.
  • You No Take Candle: Buffo speaks in sentence fragments.

    Tulip and her Worm 

Voiced by: B. J. Ward

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tulip.png

"Oh, wormy! I've missed you, you runaway worm, you!"


A giant alien girl who lost her pet worm, which is naturally at the Bagges' farm listening to Courage's tuba. It eats Muriel when agitated, which forces Courage to take it back home to its owner to save his own.


  • Amazing Technicolor Population: Being an alien, she has vivid blue skin.
  • Anti-Villain: Neither Tulip nor her worm are villains. Tulip is just an alien child and the Worm is, for all intents and purposes, an animal that doesn't know any better.
  • Bizarre Alien Biology: Tulip looks like a photorealistic human girl except for having blue skin, fully white hair and actual flowers growing off the top of her head. Her pet worm, meanwhile, looks like a giant earthworm with a wide mouth full of teeth, a streamlined digestive system (with salt and pepper to season the food), a blue body and a tiny "head" where its eyes are.
  • Evil Brit: Tulip has a British accent and, while not really evil, she does nearly kill Muriel and Courage as they board the teddy bears' spaceship to go home.
  • Meaningful Name: Actual tulips stick out of her hair.
  • Music Soothes the Savage Beast: The worm is soothed by tuba music, which is how Courage comes across it on their property. It wiggles its little head (and then its whole massive body) happily when it has music to listen to.
  • Nonstandard Character Design: Tulip is designed more photorealistically than the other characters in the show, looking exactly like a normal human girl minus the skin and flowers.
  • Pet Monstrosity: The giant flesh-eating worm is Tulip's tiny pet.

    Teddy Bears 

Voiced by: Jon Adams (Lead Teddy)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bears_8.jpg

"Questions FIRST! Sheesh!"


Tulip's two other "pets" who have come to Earth to retrieve her main pet, the blue worm.


  • Anti-Villain: They're not evil, one of them is just a trigger-happy idiot. And they do have a good reason to be a little on edge; the worm they're looking for is pretty dangerous.
  • Dumb Muscle: The one who keeps frying before asking.
  • Flying Saucer: They pilot their flying saucer quite well. Well enough to instruct Courage to fly one immediately.
  • Jerkass: Not very polite, as mentioned by Muriel
  • Laser Blade: The bazooka one of them uses acts like this.
  • Pintsized Powerhouse: They're literally the size of teddy bears to humans, but they're smaller than Tulip's fingertips.

    Mondo the Magician 

Voiced by: Paul Schoeffler

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mondo_the_alien.png

"Tricks? I don't do tricks! I do magic!"


A hideous monster disguised as a human magician who tried to take Muriel as his bride.


  • Alliterative Name: His name and occupation begin with the same letter.
  • Badass Boast: "Get real, kid! I'm the greatest magician in the world!"
  • Badass Cape: In his disguise, he wears an awesome cape.
  • Broken Pedestal: Courage, a budding magician, initially idolizes him. When his true form and desires are revealed, Courage is horrified.
  • Evil Sorcerer: He puts a curse on Muriel for his own selfish desires.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: His voice gets considerably deeper when his true form is revealed.
  • Forced Transformation: He casts a spell that turns Muriel into another monster of his own species. He also later turns Dr. Vindaloo into lettuce. In the end, Courage defeats Mondo by turning him into a rabbit.
  • Gonk: His true appearance is horrifying. And that's really saying something in a series like this one.
  • Human Disguise: When he introduces himself, Mondo looks like a tall, handsome man with tan skin. It soon turns out that he's actually wearing a rubber suit, and his true form looks very disgustingly inhuman.
  • Lizard Folk: His true appearance is that of an ugly reptilian creature.
  • Magicians Are Wizards: He's a Las Vegas-style stage magician, but carries around a bag of powder that lets him perform real magic.
  • Smug Snake: His downfall comes about because he underestimated Courage so severely that he just leaves his magic powder out where anyone can use it.
  • Studded Shell: His shell is spiky.
  • Trapped in TV Land: Mondo magically traps Eustace inside his own TV set, leaving him at the mercy of whatever show was currently on the air.

    The Rattlesnake 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snake.jpg

Voiced by: Paul Schoeffler

"Mmm... Babies...! I looove babies."


A rattlesnake accidentally awoken by Courage who wants to eat three baby birds they were tasked with watching over by the babies' mother.


  • Eats Babies: He tries to eat three baby birds.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eyes are red.
  • Snakes Are Sinister: He's a snake who tries to eat three baby birds while Courage and Muriel are looking after them.
  • Sssssnake Talk: Averted. He never emphasizes his S's with hissing, the hissing is a separate sound effect that mixes in with his speech.

    The Fishionary 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fishtionary.png

"I'm here to offer you the opportunity to return from wence you came."


A fish who tries to "convert" the Bagges into living life as sea creatures for her own personal benefit.


  • Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: She wears a headscarf.
  • Faux Affably Evil: She seems polite and friendly, but it's a facade hiding her self-righteousness and hypocrisy.
  • Fish People: She is a talking fish from an Underwater City.
  • Hypocritical Humor: In the beginning, she said that acting like a human was "uncivilized", but towards the end, she was seen sitting on a chair and watching TV.
  • Slasher Smile: Her default expression, oddly enough. It's a big hint that she's not a nice as she seems.
  • Smug Snake: She has the audacity to send the Bagges off to be "civilized" and then move into their house and lounge around.
  • Straw Hypocrite: It's implied that she just wanted Eustace, Muriel, and Courage out of the house so that she could live there herself.

    Mr. Nasty 

Voiced by: Arthur Anderson

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_nasty.png

"Hello, idiots. I'm home!"


The living embodiment of Eustace's meanness, made possible by a magic camera used by Benton Tarantella.


  • Amazing Technicolor Population: He's Eustace with blue skin and dark-tinted glasses.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: Eustace follows Mr. Nasty to star in their own TV show at the end of the episode. Eustace, enjoying the money earned from his counterpart's popularity, dared him to "take your best shot". The response?
    Mr. Nasty: "Your agent hates you, too. He just negotiated you a great, big cut! And your agent's taking 95%!" (Proceeds to take Eustace's money bags which makes him cry.)
  • Cool Shades: He wears sunglasses, which are made to look like Eustace's glasses, no less.
  • Enemy Without: He's Eustace's meanness in physical form.
  • Eviler than Thou: An eviler clone who makes the original Eustace look like a Boy Scout.
  • The Heartless: The living embodiment of all of Eustace's nastiness.
  • Humanoid Abomination: He sort of looks human, but he's really an artificial being who came out from a TV. He's also covered in a blue aura.
  • Jerkass: He's even worse than the original Eustace, which is saying something given that Eustace was already a pretty mean guy.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Thought Eustace was a Jerkass? This guy's even worse considering that his meanness is so over the top that he makes Eustace look like a saint in comparison.
  • Lean and Mean: Just like Eustace, he's a skinny Jerkass who's mean to everyone he interacts with, but worse.
  • Lantern Jaw of Justice: He has a large chin, minus the justice.
  • Laughably Evil: While he's extremely cruel to everyone around him, many of his insults are hilarious.
    Mr. Nasty: Stupid dumb stupid idiot stupids! (to Muriel) Toadstool! Slug! Lousy sack o' week-old haggis!
  • Meaningful Name: It's all he is, a nasty person with not even the slight hint of humanity Eustace can occasionally show.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When Benton Tarantella is more interested in Courage's nastiness in what appears to be dumping Muriel into a pit of quicksand, Mr. Nasty storms off for being ignored.
  • Sinister Shades: He wears a darker version of Eustace's Scary Shiny Glasses.

    Mega-Veg's Mutant Plants 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/plants.jpg

Mutant vegetables created by a phamaceutical company that turns the Bagge farm into an isolated simulation dome when Eustace blindly calls them for a free, repeating food source.


  • Achilles' Heel: Their taste for human flesh also extends to sweat, which they apparently can't resist. Sniffing Eustace's sweat on themselves makes them get into a feeding frenzy that has them eat each other into mush.
  • Beware My Stinger Tail: The tomatoes are infused with hornets and can fly in formation while sporting sharp stingers. Eustace's face is left completely swollen from their attack.
  • Bullet Seed: The mutated pea pods can shoot out their seeds as projectiles.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: The Mega-Veg businessman that signs the Bagges up for the dome experiment also seals them inside, fully aware of what his "product" can do to them.
  • It Can Think: Despite having animal DNA in their composition, they're smart enough to handle stoves and human appliances to cook their prey. The tomatoes can also dress for winter.
  • Leitmotif: A corrupted version of Edvard Grieg's "Morning Mood", when the real thing isn't being played instead.
  • Man Eating Plants: Rather ironic, considering that they're mutated from common edible plants.
  • Mix-and-Match Critters: The vegetables are infused with several different animal DNA strands, including hornets, pythons and piranhas.
  • More Teeth than the Osmond Family: The pea pods and lettuce batches have several rows of sharp teeth to eat human flesh with.

    Elisha and Eliza Stitch 

Voiced by: Fran Brill

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stitch_9.png
"Weave, believe, belong! Weave, believe, belong! Leave the circle never! Weave the quilt forever!"

A mysterious pair of Siamese twins who try to get Muriel to join their quilt club. And by "join their club" we mean "become a part of their magic quilt for all eternity".


  • Ambiguously Human: They look human-ish, but they've been around unchanged since at least prehistoric times and have the ability to sew human women into their demonic quilt, which calls into question as to what they really are.
  • And I Must Scream: They trick women into getting embroidered on their quilt for eternity. The end of the episode has their positions reversed, with all of their victims freed while the twins are imprisoned within their quilt.
  • Character Catchphrase: "How badly do you want to belong?"
  • Conjoined Twins: Two heads who share the same body.
  • Con Artist: Their "quilt club" is really a demonic quilt that wants to assimilate people into itself.
  • Creepy Twins: Conjoined twins who are both evil.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: Their process of tricking Muriel into joining their "club" is identical to that of someone luring someone else into becoming a member of a Cult.
  • Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Both of them are textbook examples of creepy people with dark hair and pale skin, complete with Raven Hair, Ivory Skin.
  • Finishing Each Other's Sentences: Multiple times in a single sentence, in fact. It's part of their twin motif.
  • For the Evulz: Their magic quilt doesn't seem to serve any really purpose; they're just doing it because they can. Although them trapping souls into the quilt might also be to preserve their immortality.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: They become trapped in their own magic quilt after Courage gets Muriel and the other women out.
  • Immortality Immorality: Have been trapping women inside their magical quilt throughout all of human history, possibly to maintain their immortality, seeing as the symbol they require to do this apparently represents everlasting life. Their oldest known victim is a cavewoman.
  • Lean and Mean: Their torso is a double-wide, but individually they're both rather skinny.
  • Meaningful Name: Quilters called "Stitch".
  • Monster Misogyny: A rare example where the "monster" is also female, all of their victims are women and they're never shown going after men.
  • Multiple Head Case: A single body with a conjoined torso and two heads that are "sisters".
  • Really 700 Years Old: They've been around since prehistoric times.
  • Single-Minded Twins: They share the same body, so that's hardly surprising.
  • Theme Twin Naming: Their names are extremely similar, save for one or two letters.
  • Thin Chin of Sin: They're a pair of ungodly thin, pale-skinned Conjoined Twins whose eeriness is supported by their pencil-thin chins.
  • Undignified Death: More like Undignified Defeat. After being imprisoned inside their own magic quilt, they are used as a tissue by Eustace. The twins can only watch in horror as Eustace prepares to blow his nose on them.
  • Wicked Witch: While it's never outright stated, their status as spooky old women with magical powers that they use for evil purposes certainly implies that they're this.
  • Wise Old Folk Façade: They make polite conversation with Muriel when she asks about their quilt club, but then shoot down her attempts to prove herself worthy of joining the club. When the Stitch Sisters finally allow Muriel into the club, it turns out that the whole thing is a ruse to steal the souls of master quilters and prolong the Stitch Sisters' lives.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chief_wicky_wicky.png

A tribal chief who makes the Bagges's vacation to a tropical island difficult.


  • Affably Evil: He's not evil, he just wants to throw Muriel into the volcano to appease his volcano god. Once he becomes convinced that there is no volcano god, he sends them home and offers them a boar as an apology.
  • Amazing Technicolor Population: He and the rest of the island natives are blue.
  • Appease the Volcano God: Has the Bagges come to his island so he can throw Muriel into the volcano.
  • The Cloudcuckoolander Was Right: It turns out there is a Volcano God, but he wasn't the reason the volcano was acting up. Otto was tampering with it to drive the natives off the island away.
  • Fat Bastard: He tricks the Bagges into a vacation on his island just so he can throw Muriel into the volcano. Although, he's not the worst guy in the world; he's only doing it to save his island, and apologizes once the whole thing is over.
  • Fat Idiot: When the volcano starts going, he jumps to the conclusion that he has to offer it a human sacrifice. It has no basis in island tradition, and there's no indication that has ever worked before, that's just how his mind works.
  • Hulk Speak: He doesn't say some of the words when speaking since he is not the brightest crayon in the box.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: Does not wear a shirt.
