History Characters / DuckTales2017TheMcDuckDuckExtendedFamily

* AnimalLover: Matilda has a full grown [[SeldomSeenSpecies emu]] for a pet and she has a variety of emu-themed trinkets in her room.

* {{Flanderization}}: In his first appearance he at first seems to resent Scrooge for "cursing" him, in which the castle that Scrooge built for them also made them unable to leave while making them immortal. His difficulties with Scrooge also is centered around Scrooge leaving home too young and hardly seeing them afterwards, as well as sympathizing with "Donald" for the way Scrooge treats him and accusing Scrooge of not taking care of his family. Then when Scrooge calls him out on not being there for him as a kid, realizes he is repeating he same mistakes his own dad made and that attitude is making Scrooge less likely to visit he starts to mellow out. In his second appearance, however, he is upset that the castles magic is fading and has the compulsive need to blame Scrooge whenever something bad happens, even when it was someone else's fault. It seems to just be because thats the way [=McDuck=] fathers and sons act with each other.

* ParentalFavoritism: He considers his daughters more reliable than his son, whom he has a distant disposition with. This is mainly because his daughter spends more time at the castle and takes care of them while she's there while Scrooge is away either on adventures or running his business. He even calls her first when the magic of the caslte starts fading when it was Scrooge who bought it in the first place and has more experience dealing with magic.

** He returns in a more significant role for the season 2 finale, [[spoiler: as his good luck leads to him discovering Della, Donald,and the kids stranded on an island, and plays a part in stopping Lunaris's plans.]]
** He is also present in the season 3 finale, [[spoiler: at Webby's (fake) birthday party.]]

** He also [[spoiler: knows that he ought to leave when "awkward family drama" is happening between other people, as seen in "The Last Adventure!"]]

** Both the season 2 and season 3 finale shows that he and Fethry [[OddFriendship actually get along quite well]]. In the season 3 finale, he [[spoiler: even uses a "look, twenty dollars!" excuse to take Fethry out of a situation that he'd indavertedly made awkward for Donald, Daisy and Della.]]

* AmbiguousDisorder: A lot of Fethry's "weirdness" implies some sort of neurodivergency ([[SharedFamilyQuirks in many ways similar to Huey]]).

* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler: During season 2 finale, he rides his giant shrimp friend with Gladstone to save Della, Donald and the kids. He also ends up taking them to Duckburg to destroy Lunaris's ship.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: In ''Moonvasion'', [[spoiler: he arrives on Mitzi with Gladstone to rescue his cousins and the kids from a desert island.]]

* NiceHat: A green bowler cap.

* NiceHat: A red knitted hat that he never takes off. He explains that he's just following the advice of the Junior Woodchuck Guide - "a warm head breeds warm, healthy thoughts."

His difficulties with Scrooge also is centered around Scrooge leaving home too young and hardly seeing them afterwards and he starts to mellow out, as well as accusing him of not taking care of their family in general sympathizing with "Donald" for the way Scrooge treats him.

* JerkassRealization: Scrooge blowing up at him that he never needed his help is when Fergus finally realizes how badly he's screwed up as parent and he becomes better.

* ParentsAsPeople: He was secretly ashamed that he was never able to properly provide for Scrooge the way he would've liked and was forced to teach him to be self-reliant when Scrooge was just a kid. Fergus regretted it because Scrooge learned it too well and spent most of his life away from home.
* ParentalFavoritism: He considers his daughters more reliable than his son, whom he has a distant disposition with.

* UngratefulBastard: Scrooge paid for Castle [=McDuck=] to be rebuilt, inadvertently granting Fergus and his wife immortality in the process, neither of which Fergus has ever shown one shred of gratitude for.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: He and Downy are both still alive as a result of Scrooge utilizing mystic druid stones in the reconstruction of Castle [=McDuck=] cursing them with immortality. Fergus isn't all that happy about his son's gift.

* GenerationXerox: He's a carbon copy of Scrooge in terms of looks and especially his grumpiness. In fact his relationship with his son has eerie parallels with the estranged one Scrooge has with Donald. What are Fergus' first words upon seeing a cab carrying his son and extended family?
-->"[[IronicEcho Jettison that jalopy from my driveway this instant, you deadbeat!]]"

* Really700YearsOld: Since Scrooge is around 150 in this continuity, that would make Fergus around 182![[note]]Age calculated based on the Mcduck family tree history in ComicBook/TheLifeAndTimesOfScroogeMcDuck[[/note]] {{Justified}} with the immortality-granting druid stones that Scrooge built into their castle.

* UngratefulBastard: Scrooge paid for Castle [=McDuck=] to be rebuilt, inadvertantly granting Fergus and his wife immortality in the process, neither of which Fergus has ever shown one shred of gratitude for.

* TooMuchAlike: Most of the MacDucks are hot-blooded and prideful, which no doubt causes them to clash with each other often.

** To Donald -- While Donald is an unlucky but hard-working, (relatively) NiceGuy, Gladstone is a lazy, arrogant jerk who relies on his luck to see him through any conflict.

* HonorBeforeReason: The Knight Templar treasure could've restored the family's fortunes long ago, but the [=McDuck=]'s familial distaste of "deadbeats" and "handouts" insured it's remain hidden for centuries.
* ImpoverishedPatrician: For generations the family could barely afford to live or maintain their castle or land.

* MixedAncestry: He's one of only two characters in the series to be descended from two different species, the other being [[spoiler:Bradford Buzzard (who is a quarter finch).]]

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Subverted. At first, Huey expects Bubba to be this, so he prepares replicated shelters and food from the Stone Age to make him feel more at home. To his disbelief, Bubba immediately proves to be very adaptable and masters modern technology in less than a day, plus treats an extinct dinosaur as no different than whatever megafauna he would encounter in his time. This is in stark contrast to the other time-displaced subjects that immediately turn hostile and go on a riot.

* TheNicknamer: As another contrast to Gladstone. Where Gladstone calls people by friendly if patronizing nicknames, Fethry usually calls people by their names when he actually knows those names... but when he ''doesn't'' know someone's name, he has a tendency to come up with surprisingly unimaginative nicknames for them instead of actually asking what their names are. Hence, in his first appearance he calls Huey and Dewey "Little Donalds," and in his second appearance he calls Loiue and Webby respectively "Green kid" and "Girl kid."

* {{Jerkass}}: While not as bad as his comic counterpart, he's still a selfish, lazy, smug, uncaring goose.

* AdaptationalDumbass: While his comics self was simply arrogant with no direction whatsoever, this version is shown to be even dumber than Donald, and it really shows when [[spoiler:he loses his magical luck, he doesn’t know that stores or establishments can close, and at one point he forgets how to walk, and he doesn't know how to ''turn a doorknob'']].

* JerkassRealization: Scrooge blowing up at him that he never needed his help is when Fergus finally realizes how badly he's screwed up as parent and he becomes better.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a stubborn and grumpy person, but is still good on the whole.

** It is implied that he is rather MoneyDumb and it is why he and his family where so poor in-spite of his successful lineage. The fact that his son would go onto provide for ''them'' by reclaiming their family castle likely did no favors for his ego and thus he projects his inadequacies onto Scrooge when he visits.

* {{Jerkass}}: [[spoiler:He left an elaborate treasure hunt for his son that ended in rather insulting note calling Fergus a "deadbeat" looking for a "handout" in the form of the lost family treasure.]]

* DysfunctionJunction: The family throughout the years have had difficult and cold relations with each other. In general, the triplets and Della Duck are the only universally liked members within the family. Donald has distant and cold relations with his cousins Fethry and Gladstone, he's also estranged from Uncle Scrooge, and even when they aren't estranged anymore, they still take turns insulting each other with Scrooge blatantly favoring Della over him and continuing to call him a moocher and deadbeat. The grandparents, Fergus [=McDuck=] has a distant relation with Scrooge and know little to nothing about Donald (based on how they mistake Launchpad for him) and Donald never told the nephews about them. Even the triplets owing to their distinct personalities don't always get along well with each other.

* RichesToRags: They used to be very wealthy until several misfortunes drove the family into poverty. They stay that way for generations until Scrooge came along.

* UnfortunateNames: His nickname, "Dirty" Dingus, sounds like a DoubleEntendre, something that doesn't go unnoticed by the triplets.
** In RealLife, it doesn't help that the name is very similar to ''Dirty Dingus [=McGee=]'', a legendary Music/FrankSinatra flop.
