History Characters / DuckTales2017MinorAntagonists

* TheRedBaron: He's known as the "Scourge of the River Styx". In Greek mythology, Styx is the river that separates the world of the living and the dead, which implies he was already a GhostPirate when he got the title.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Besides not having the crocodile-like skutes and feet (the toes were fairly long rather than elephantine, and there should be two clawless outer toes that dangled off the ground) of a real ''Triceratops'', she has underdeveloped brow horns that point forwards. In real life, the brow horns develop first, pointing backwards as juveniles and then curving forwards as they grew. Still, she is more accurate than the original Tootsie.

* SuddentlyVoiced: While in the main series Hecka never spoke during her one appearance, she does speak in the EPCOT World Showcase Adventure attraction.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: She is the first living prehistoric dinosaur to appear in the show.

* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: He has magenta fur with a yellow underside.

* MixAndMatchCritters: He is half-rhino and half-gorilla

* XenophobicHerbivore: He chases after the Ducks and Kit upon coming across them.

* StockDinosaurs: Her genus is the iconic ceratopsian ''Triceratops''. Her ''species'', however, may be a subversion, as she more closely resembles a ''Triceratops prorsus'' rather than the better-known ''Triceratops horridus''.

* StockDinosaurs: Her genus is the iconic ceratopsian ''Triceratops''. Her ''species'', however, may be a subversion, as noted above.

[[caption-width-right:350: Briar(left) and Bramble (right).]]
-> '''Voiced By''': Creator/TaraStrong (Briar), Creator/AndreaLibman (Bramble)

Two friendly, pastel-colored Kelpies who act as quasi-guides on a mystical golf course. Don't take them up on their offers for rides if you value your life.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: They both wear hats but nothing else, as opposed to the HalfDressedCartoonAnimal ducks and fully-dressed dogfaces.
* AffablyEvil: They are a friendly pair, but their main goal is to trick people into going for a swim with them so they can drown them. And they are very, very persistent, to the point it becomes a RunningGag throughout the episode.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: They look like pink and purple ponies, though they're actually Kelpies.
* BadLiar: They frequently make flimsy lies to try and drown the ducks after Webby exposes them.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: They try to invoke this trope on themselves to hide the fact they are Kelpies.
* GracefulLoser: Despite their taunting and threats throughout the episode, once the Ducks win the golf game, they congratulate them on being the only ones who’ve ever succeeded, and present them with a trophy. [[RunningGag And offer a]] [[DeadlyEuphemism “victory swim”]] before departing without a fuss.
* HarmlessVillain: They are really, really bad at being evil.
* MeaningfulName: Their names are based on plants that can cause harm to anyone if touched. Thankfully, just like the murder ponies themselves, they're easy to avoid [[ObviouslyEvil because of how blatantly harmful they are.]]
* MercyKill: They try to invoke this when its revealed the mists of the realm will [[TakenForGranite turn the mortal ducks to stone]], claiming the ducks will be better off letting the kelpies drown them. No one takes them up on the offer, of course.
* MyLittlePhony: They are blatant ''Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration4'' [[{{Expy}} expies]] put there just for fun. They even have two of [[ParodyAssistance the same voice actresses]], in a rather elaborate CastingGag; Briar (the pink one) is voiced by Creator/TaraStrong, while Bramble (the purple one) is voiced by Creator/AndreaLibman. This is a reference to how Creator/AndreaLibman was originally supposed to voice Twilight Sparkle (the purple one), while Creator/TaraStrong was originally supposed to voice Pinkie Pie ([[ColourfulThemeNaming ...Guess]]), even though in the actual show they got the roles the other way around (here, though, Libman uses her Fluttershy voice).
* OffscreenTeleportation: They constantly pop out from nowhere to try luring Scrooge and company to the water (so they could drown everyone) and even manage to follow everyone to the "real" world to give them a golden trophy for completing the mythical golf course. (And to make a final attempt at drowning everyone.)
* ObliviouslyEvil: It's questionable if they even really understand why trying to drown people is bad, given how friendly they are otherwise. In their words it is simply what they generally do.
* RunningGag: They keep dropping by to invite everyone to join them in the water (so they can drown them).
* SpottingTheThread: They pull a very convincing act to pass themselves as ponies, but their wet manes was all that Webby needed to correctly identify them as Kelpies.
* ThemeNaming: Their names both begin with "Br", and they're also both named after thorny plants that are commonly found in Scotland.
* VoiceChangeling: They (or at least Briar) are capable of mimicking the voices of others.

-> '''Voiced By''': Creator/JackMcBrayer
A monster that preteen Donald and Della, as well as a time-traveling Dewey, encounter on Christmas Eve.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: The show cuts any mention of cannibalism.
* CrazyJealousGuy: A non-romantic example towards Scrooge. [[spoiler: He was desperate to maintain his friendship with Scrooge no matter the morality of the situation, and Scrooge inadvertently caused his transformation by stranding him in the past.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: In this series, wendigos are poor, unfortunate souls transformed out of despair. [[spoiler:This one was so desperate to stay friends with Scrooge and lonely after being abandoned by him that he became this form.]]
* FunWithHomophones: "Wendigo" is pronounced similar to "When'd he go?", [[spoiler: a clue to the monster's true identity]].
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: He has green, glowing, pupil-less eyes.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: [[spoiler: Scrooge stranded him in the past, leaving him alone for decades.]]
* GruesomeGoat: He's a monster whose head and horns are distinctly goat-like.
* HornsOfVillainy: He has large, goat-like horns.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: More specifically, friends who won't leave.
* KillerGorilla: His body proportions are similar to a gorilla's, and he can drop down in a PrimalStance.
* TheKrampus: While unrelated to the Wendigo myth, the Wendigo here has a few similarities to Krampus, being a humanoid goat-monster hunting children in a ChristmasEpisode.
* MixAndMatchCritters: He looks like a cross between a goat (head and horns), a gorilla (torso, arms and legs), a lion (mane, claws and tail) and a tyrannosaur (feet, jaws and teeth).
* MonsterModesty: The wendigo is naked except for a loincloth, [[spoiler: in stark contrast to the NiceSuit worn the the Ghost of Christmas Past]].
* MorphicResonance: His GlowingEyesOfDoom [[spoiler:are the same shade of green as the Ghost of Christmas Past's magic]].
* PokemonSpeak: He seems to be shouting his own name. [[spoiler: He's actually asking "when'd he go?" about Scrooge.]]
* RunningOnAllFours: He can run on all fours due to his ape-like body.
* TopHeavyGuy: He has ape-like body proportions with a large chest, long arms and short legs.
* TragicMonster: Although he looks and acts like a terrifying monster, [[spoiler:he's actually the Ghost of Christmas Past who's been desperately searching for Scrooge for decades]].
* WasOnceAMan: Or rather, [[spoiler: ghost-cricket]].
* {{Wendigo}}: The series' version resembles a goat-man with GlowingEyesOfDoom, sharp teeth, claws, and three-toed feet like a theropod dinosaur.

[[caption-width-right:350:"THIS IS RUMBLE FOR RAGNAROK, OOOOONE HUUUUUNDREEEEED!!!"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KristoferHivju
The World-Eating Serpent: a famous wrestler of Valhalla who challenges the champions of Earth every ten years.

* AdaptationalHeroism: He is ''much'' nicer than his Norse counterpart.
* AdaptationalVillainy: A weird example. He's a WellIntentionedExtremist at worst, since the warriors of Valhalla want Ragnarök to happen. However, though he did play a part in Ragnarök in the original myth, he was not meant to eat the world. The world would end in fire, and Jormungandr would die by a MutualKill with Thor.
* AnthropomorphicTransformation: His true form is a gigantic snake coiled around the world. To fight on even ground with enemies, he assumes the form of a BeastMan.
* AttentionWhore: He loves his role as the beloved People's Champion, and his biggest fear is losing the crowd's support - which happens to him at the end of the episode.
* BrokenPedestal: He becomes this to Valhalla after he beats up Dewey and gloats about it, causing the crowd to become appalled that he would ever do that to a child far weaker than him.
* CombatPragmatist: He is not above using underhanded tactics to win a fight, as seen when Mrs. Beakley and Webby were beating him.
* {{Face}}: He's a beloved wrestling champion of Valhalla.
* FangsAreEvil: He has a pair of fangs like a venomous snake.
* {{Foil}}: Serves as one to Zeus, even though they have not shared an episode. While both are gods that share an antagonistic relationship with the Ducks, Zeus is a SoreLoser who caused most of his own people to walk out on him, while Jormungandr is a GracefulLoser NobleDemon who is beloved by the people of Valhalla.
* FurryReminder: ''Scaly'' Reminder. He hisses and flicks his tongue when the triplets anger him.
* GracefulLoser: After Dewey defeats him, Jormungandr just vows to fight him again in the next match before going back to encircle the world. He also seemed more annoyed by Scrooge's role as the {{heel}} than the fact that he always defeats him.
* GreenAndMean: He has green scales and eyes, and though he is a beloved champion, he still wants to bring the end of the world.
* HellishPupils: His true form has vertical slit-pupils fitting for a snake. In his humanoid form, his pupils become slitted when riled up.
* LargeHam: As expected from a pro wrestler. He has a bombastic voice, loves to strike heroic poses and bask in the crowd's cheers.
* MaliciousMonitorLizard: While technically a snake, he resembles an anthropomorphic monitor lizard in his mundane form due to having four limbs.
* NobleDemon: Jormungandr may want to bring the end of the world, but he honors the rules of wrestling, taking up the form of a human-sized snake-person for the fight and returning to encircle the world after he loses the match.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: His sclera are green like his scales rather than white. Justified in that he's meant to be "part snake, part man", rather than simply an anthropomorphic snake standing in for a human.
* PrehensileTail: He can use this tail to grab and constrict, which he does to Dewey in their match.
* SmugSnake: He is ''literally'' a snake that loves being the people's champion.
* SnakePeople: His mundane form is described as "half-snake, half-man", though oddly for this trope, he has legs, which makes him look more like a LizardFolk.
* SnakesAreSinister: He's a world-eating serpent who threatens to destroy Earth if he wins the wrestling match.
* SssssnakeTalk: Surprisingly for a serpentine character, he averts this.
* TokenMinority: He's the only anthropomorphic non-avian reptile to appear in the show.
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: He does this to Dewey while beating up the young duck, which makes him lose the crowd's support and his {{Face}} status.
* UnseenNoMore: He was first alluded to by Scrooge in "Last Christmas!"
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Jormungandr is the beloved people's champion that the deceased Vikings of Valhalla love, as in their view him winning just means everyone on Earth will be able to join them in Valhalla after dying a "glorious" death. From Earth's point of view, however, he's a monster who will bring the end of the living world if he wins. By the end of the episode, however, he loses his popularity among the Valhalla crowd too due to being too mean to an underdog like Dewey, not respecting the boy's determination, etc.
* WouldHurtAChild: He has no problem with beating up a much weaker child like Dewey and gloat in his face. However, this makes him lose his {{Face}} status and turns the audience against him.

-> '''Strongbeard voiced by:''' Creator/JohnDiMaggio

A group of Norse deities in Jormungandr's wrestling team, including Strongbeard, Hecka and Fenrir.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In Myth/NorseMythology, Fenrir and Jormungandr are enemies to Asgard, Odin having both of them imprisoned because he foresaw them causing Ragnarok, while he gave Hel her realm to keep her out of the way. The whole ''point'' of Valhalla was to amass an army of capable warriors to fight them (and by extension, the various giant races that antagonize Asgard). Here, Jormungandr, Fenrir and Hel's {{Expy}} "Hecka" are all on the same team, the episode framing Ragnarok as something the fallen warriors are craving would happen.
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Fenrir shows a lot of dog-like behaviour, such as drinking from a bowl with his name on it. When Dewey tries to feed him a lollipop, the crowd calls him out for [[ArtisticLicenceAnimalCare feeding candy to a dog]]. It's mostly justified, as wolves ''are'' canines very closely related to domestic dogs.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Fenrir is smart enough to participate in wrestling and know a few moves, particularly taking advantage of Webby's CutenessProximity to throw her out of the ring. He later agrees (through barks) with Strongbeard and Hecka in helping Dewey even the odds against Jormungandr.
* BackForTheFinale: Strongbeard makes a cameo in the GrandFinale as one of [[spoiler:F.O.W.L.'s prisoners]].
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They do not seem to view Ragnarok as a bad thing, as it allows the people of Earth to die a glorious death. They are definitely honorable though and generally respect the rules of wrestling.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: Hecka is quite clearly supposed to be the show's version of the Norse goddess of death, Hel, whose name has been changed for sounding too much like "hell".
* CreepyCrows: The Valhalla champion Hecka is a one-eyed (because she has a half-dead face) raven with a macabre gimmick, with necromantic energy flowing around her. She's based on (or is the actual Duck-verse equivalent of) the Norse death goddess Hel, although ravens are more associated with Odin, who famously has one eye.
* EvenTheDogIsAshamed: Fenrir shows his disapproval at Jormungandr beating up the much weaker Dewey, just like everyone else, and agrees with his teammates that they should make the fight fair for the duck.
* EverybodyHasStandards: They may be {{Blood Knight}}s that are looking forward to {{the end of the world|AsWeKnowIt}}, but they are also known for their sense of honor. Jormungandr is the {{Face}} and the hero of their narrative, but they turn on him when [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown he starts drawing out his fight with Dewey just to beat on him]].
--> '''Strongbeard''': This is not the Norse way.
* EverybodyHatesHades: Played with. The death goddess "Hecka" looks creepy and she is in a wrestling team whose goal is to destroy Earth, but she is a wrestling {{Face}} whom the Valhallan audience ''loves''. She is also shown to be more honorable than Jormungandr, as she apparently disapproves of him toying with the much weaker Dewey.
* {{Face}}: They are on the same team as the beloved people's champion Jormungandr, and the Valhalla audience cheers on them.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Played with. The second Ragnarok team's wolf is named Fenrir, and has a water dish labeled "Fenny."
* FullBoarAction: Strongbeard is an anthropomorphic boar. He's a boisterous fighter who charges into battle, fitting the AnimalStereotype about boars.
* FurryConfusion: Fenrir, unlike the other champions, is not anthropomorphized at all - he's a giant wolf that [[AllAnimalsAreDogs behaves like a dog]]. This is despite anthropomorphic wolves being frequent background characters in the show.
* GoshDangItToHeck: Hecka's name is a comically bowdlerized version of "Hela" or "Hel", whom she is based on.
* ManlyFacialHair: As [[MeaningfulName implied by his name]], Strongbeard has a large braided beard. Besides indicating its wearer's manliness, the beard itself is powerful in its own right, being able to [[PrehensileHair curl into fists]] and be used in a fight, as well as granting superhuman strength to those who touch it.
* NobleDemon: Assuming they understand the full implications of destroying the world more than the audience does. They are fine with such destruction, and may even bend the rules when fighting, but at the same time won't abide a battle in which the opponent has no chance of winning and is mocked for it.
* PerpetualFrowner: Hecka never smiles in her appearance.
* PrehensileHair: Strongbeard has a magic beard that he can curl into fists and fight with.
* ShoutOut: To pro wrestling:
** Hecka's costume and elaborate entrance are an homage to [[Wrestling/TheUndertaker The Undertaker]]; she even does The Undertaker's famous "zombie sit-up" spot.
** Strongbeard's massive, muscular frame, long hair and pastel-colored ring gear gives him a similar look to the Wrestling/UltimateWarrior.
* TagTeam: Hecka and Fenrir are explicitly called one.
* TeamPet: Fenrir is the only non-anthropomorphic animal in the wrestling team.
* TheVoiceless: Hecka never speaks during the episode.

[[folder:Ponce de Leon]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"I've always said that youth was wasted on the young, so ''give me yours.''"]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/NestorCarbonell

An infamous conquistador known for his discovery of the [[FountainOfYouth Fountain of the Foreverglades]]. In the present day, he works as a hotel manager who tricks his guests into giving up their youth to keep himself young forever.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the 1945 Donald Duck comic ''Mystery of the Swamp'', Ponce de León was portrayed as a grebe. In this version, he's a lion.
* AxCrazy: He's willing to chop up anyone with a sword if they interfere with his schemes.
* BerserkButton: He won't let ''anyone'' take some of the youth, trying to slice them open if they do.
* CatsAreMean: He's a lion who runs a dark business. As if Disney didn't have enough evil lions.
* CompositeCharacter: He appears to be a cross between two of Disney's most (in-)famous villainous lions. He is scrawny, yellow-furred, and fully-anthropomorphic like [[WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973 Prince John]], but he also has the pointed snout, dark mane, protruding claws, and manipulative nature of [[Franchise/TheLionKing Scar]].
* ConsummateProfessional: Despite the fact the resort is used to lure in victims, he takes his job running it very seriously.
* EvilColonialist: An odd variation of this trope in that his present-day villainy has nothing to do with his colonialism. He is a conquistador who runs a resort to lure in teenagers and tourists so he can steal their youth for himself.
* EvilIsPetty: After draining the triplets of their youth, he was planning to charge them for the inner tube he used to trap them.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: He ages to death, then his body disintegrates. Make of that what you will.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: While his RealLife counterpart was a ruthless and greedy man due to his crimes against the Indigenous people of the Americas, this portrayal of Ponce De Leon takes it a step further by robbing unsuspecting people of their youth for ''centuries''.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He ages to death in the very pool he used to drain youth from anyone who swims in it, namely teenagers.
* KarmicDeath: After spending over 500 years draining the life out of who knows how many innocent people, he's ultimately reduced to nothingness after falling in his own pool.
* LifeDrinker: An interesting variation of this trope. Ponce uses the fountain's waters as a way of maintaining his life expectancy by having unsuspecting guests swim in it only for him to drink the youth-infused water afterwards.
* ALizardNamedLiz: A lion named de Leon.
* MasterSwordsman: He's an expert sword fighter even in the present era.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: His body disintegrates after spending too much time in the pool. The only thing that is left behind is his key necklace.
* NoImmortalInertia: He ages into nothing after having 500 years of stolen youth sapped away from him by his own pool.
* PragmaticVillainy:
** He does filter the pool water before drinking it, though this is only for his own benefit.
** He dutifully fulfills his job at the resort and provides a good service. This is however only so he can lure in more victims as it would give his hotel a better reputation.
* ProfessionalKiller: Heavily implied considering that he's been keeping himself young for hundreds of years at the expense of pushing his guests to their elderly years as he robs them of their youth.
* RapidAging: He dies this way after falling into his own youth-sucking pool, not helped by having stolen youth for centuries.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: It's revealed that the hotel manager and de Leon are one and the same. After discovering the fountain and learning the water requires young people to touch it before it can grant youth when consumed, he's spent the past 500 years tricking people into swimming in it so he can take their youth and be young forever.
* ShownTheirWork: This is one of the few works to remember Ponce de Leon wasn't exactly a benevolent man.
* TheSociopath: Does not care about anyone, except his own life.
* VillainousBreakdown: He goes into a mad, sword-swinging rage when he finds out that Scrooge and Goldie had taken some of the youth water.
* WouldHurtAChild: He traps the triplets in a closet and intends to turn them into old people so they can't stop, or even remember, his sinister schemes. He even planned to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking charge them for an inflatable tube rental]].

[[folder:Crownus]]
[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/titan_89.png]]

A titan released by Storkules after being manipulated by Zeus.

* AllThereInTheManual: According to sources, the titan's name is "Crownus", after Kronos of Greek mythology.
* CagedInsideAMonster: Crownus being the monster in this case with a stomach clearly resembling a cage, which is where captured characters end up.
* CreepyCrows: Judging by his name and beak, he appears to be part crow.
* GettingEatenIsHarmless: The people captured by Crownus are alive and unharmed in its stomach.
* OurTitansAreDifferent: Crownus as depicted here is a monstrous giant that seems to be made of earth with plant life growing on the body. It swallows victims whole into an abdomen transparent in a way resembling cage bars. It only superficially shares the anthropomorphism of other characters, having a crow's beak.
* ShoutOut:
** Possibly, to [[Creator/{{Disney}} Disney's]] WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} since the titan appears to be some sort of ElementalEmbodiment.
** Crownus also appears to be one to Kronos from Myth/ClassicalMythology due to eating people and keeping them alive in his stomach.
* SwallowedWhole: Crownus does this to those it captures.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: The mythical Kronos was the father of Zeus, Hades and a handful of other deities. Crownus seems to be simply an ancient monster Zeus fought in the past, without any familial ties to Zeus.

!Original Antagonists

[[folder:Pixiu]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pixiu_character_image.png]]

A golden dragon sealed in stone, and one of Scrooge's dangerous artifacts.

* AdvertisedExtra: It appears in the Intro, was over-represented in promos, and is on Season 1's poster, which is impressive for a throwaway villain introduced and dealt with in the pilot.
* BackFromTheDead: Implied. ''30 Things With [=DuckTales=]'' has a brief clip of Webby riding him alongside the rest of the cast (although the canon status of those shorts is debatable), and ''The Other Bin of Scrooge [=McDuck=]'' mentions that Scrooge has "a dragon" in the titular Other Bin - which might be a different dragon, but fans ''have'' drawn their conclusions.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: It seems to be the main antagonist of the pilot, but it doesn't last halfway through the episode and the real villain turns out to be Flintheart Glomgold.
* FeatheredDragons: It has what appears to be feathery tufts.
* KilledOffForReal: Implied. The dragon's head snaps off after it's turned to stone.
* OffWithHisHead: After its petrification, Pixiu's head breaks off from its body.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: It's an Eastern dragon that has an appetite for gold, which makes Scrooge's vault a prime place for a buffet. Interestingly, the name "Pixiu" is actually derived from a completely different gold-eating creature from Chinese mythology.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: One of the few parts of its body that are not golden are a pair of ruby-red eyes, fitting for a menacing monster.
* SealedEvilInACan: It was petrified, but will awaken when a gong is struck [[RuleOfThree three times.]] Naturally, the nephews meddling around leads to it being released.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is of Chinese origin and pronounced as "pee-shoo", but uses the Pinyin Romanization.
* TakenForGranite: After being released from its seal, Pixiu is ultimately defeated by Scrooge who turns the dragon to stone again with the Medusa Gauntlet. Then its head falls off.
* WarmUpBoss: It's there to prove that Scrooge isn't a washed-up adventurer like everyone seems to think he is.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: It is killed minutes after its appearance in the pilot episode.

-> ''At the House of Lucky Fortune, you are all kings!''
->'''Voiced By''': Creator/BDWong

The floor manager of the House of Lucky Fortune, a casino in [[UsefulNotes/{{Macau}} Macaw]]. [[spoiler:And also a malevolent ancient spirit that feeds on good luck.]]

* AbstractEater: He feeds on [[spoiler:good luck]].
* AffablyEvil: He puts on a charming demeanor to the patrons of this house, which he keeps even after showing his true colors.
* AmphibianAtLarge: [[spoiler:He grows into a gigantic, jade-coloured form when unmasked.]]
* DomainHolder: [[spoiler:He can create physical illusions and reorder the interiors of his casino, albeit the extent of his power is limited to the said casino.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Well, a variant. He thinks all success comes from luck rather than skill and intelligence (like Scrooge) or raw [[TheDeterminator determination]] (like Donald).
* EvilSoundsDeep: Creator/BDWong gives him a Creator/GeorgeTakei-like tone.
* FatBastard: It's implied that he grew fat from [[spoiler:feeding on Gladstone's good luck, as he loses all his girth when Gladstone is replaced by Donald]].
* FrogMen: He looks like an anthropomorphic toad.
* TheGambler: He runs a casino, his magic manifests in the form of playing cards, and he likes to make bets, which is fitting for [[spoiler: a spirit of chance and fortune]].
* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:He poses as a floor-manager and a toad like cartoon animal, but he is in fact a luck vampire, the ancient spirit of chance and fortune, who feeds on the luck of his victims, and is a kind of demon from another realm]].
* JerkassGenie: The House of Lucky Fortune is full of splendor, excitement, and adventure but it's all there to get customers to keep spending and gambling, [[spoiler:and so keep them trapped in the casino for all eternity]].
* OneWingedAngel: After revealing himself to be [[spoiler:a "luck vampire", he assumes a gigantic, jade-colored form with razor-sharp teeth, towering over the ducks]].
* PunnyName: His name is a reference to a figure from Chinese myth/folklore, but also sounds like "low/high," fitting with his gambling theme.
* ShoutOut: Liu Hai is named for a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liu_Haichan Daoist "God of Wealth"]] who was often depicted carrying a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jin_Chan Jin Chan]], a golden toad on a bed of coins.
* SmugSnake: Always thinks he's in control of a situation, which allows Scrooge to trick him twice.
* SpeciesSurname: He introduces himself as Toad Liu Hai. As a Chinese character, his surname is before his given name.
* TemporaryBulkChange: [[spoiler:Liu Hai's physique is entirely dependent on whose good luck he's feeding off of. With Gladstone as his prisoner, he's stout and prosperous; when Donald takes Gladstone's place, he starves and withers away ''[[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/scroogemcduck/images/9/99/The_House_of_the_Lucky_Gander_Liu_Hai_defeated_%282%29.png within fifteen seconds]]''.]]
* TokenMinority: The only anthropomorphic amphibian seen in the show.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: As mentioned under AbstractEater, he draws strength from [[spoiler:good luck]]. Problem is, [[spoiler:Donald Duck's ''bad'' luck is practically toxic to him.]]
* ToothyBird: Or rather, Toothy Amphibian. Real frogs and toads lack teeth, but Liu Hai has a whole set of razor-sharp teeth. Justified by being a [[spoiler:luck-eating demon]] rather than an actual toad.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: In-universe, Starling is shown to resent how the younger generation doesn't care much about him, and that the events he shows up to only attract the same old crowd of nerdy thirty-somethings; when Dewey, a new face, asks for his autograph, he's overjoyed that "the kids still [love] me," and groans when he realizes it's for Launchpad, "the fainter." As such, he embraces Boorswan's darker, more cynical version of the character at first, not caring about anything other than getting himself back in the spotlight, and finally is warped so radically that he turns into Negaduck -- the complete anathema of what Darkwing stands for.

* BalefulPolymorph: He was turned into a raven after taking a reflected spell meant for his sister.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Judging by her shorter downward-facing horns, she appears to be a ''Triceratops prorsus'', rather than the better-known ''Triceratops horridus''.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: His facial markings identify him as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanner_falcon lanner falcon]].

* SeldomSeenSpecies: He's one of the few, if not the only Akita dog to appear in Western media so far.

[[caption-width-right:350:'''Liquidator:''' Introducing the Fearsome Four! Guaranteed to destroy Darkwing Duck, or your money back!]]

** Liquidator is given a TopHeavyGuy build, the original version has more of a normal build.

* NiceHat: Briar and Bramble are never seen without their tam o' shanter hats.

** The original Tootsie was based on outdated portraits of dinosaurs as giant lizard-like creatures with sprawling legs and the tail dragging on the ground.

* MorphicResonance: His raven self still has a purple SkunkStripe and HellishPupils.
