History Characters / CourageTheCowardlyDogMajorRecurringVillains

* ChewToy: Somewhat. What makes his appearances entertaining to watch despite him being an awful person, is the fact that he usually gets just enough time to say his catchphrase and then suffer some either cartoony or outright lethal injury.

* LeanAndMean: A skinny Chinese-American {{Jerkass}}.

* CharacterCatchphrase: "This is ''GREAT!''"

* CharacterCatchphrase: "This is ''GREAT!''"

* HeroicCaninesVillainousFelines: The villainous feline to Courage's heroic canine, he's the most recurring threat in the series as well.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After spending the latter half of "Klub Katz" forcing Muriel and Eustace to fight each other after turning them into machines, he's forced to run for his life when, after Courage turns himself into a helicopter and saves Muriel, the Eustace-wrecking-ball turns on him after discovering Katz stole his chair. This is notably the only moment in the entire series where Katz [[NotSoStoic actually panics]].
* ImplacableMan: He's extremely durable and seemingly never gets exhausted, judging by the handball game he plays with Courage.

* ObviouslyEvil: Courage can easily see how evil he is; and for all of Katz's [[FauxAffablyEvil polite demeanor]], he rarely makes that much of an effort to hide how sinister he is.

* WickedCultured: He enjoys the finer things in life such as literature, tea, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and murder.]]

The very first monster to disturb the Main Characters' house. In the pilot, he harasses the chickens out in their henhouse and he is thwarted after he accidentally shoots himself via a mirror from Courage. He would later return, albeit as a cooked chicken, in a later episode where he looks for a new head. It is revealed later he had a wife and a kid with 3 heads.

* TheCameo: In "The Transplant" and "Aqua-Farmer".
* CaptainErsatz: [[WordOfGod According to John Dilworth]], the Chicken is inspired by Feathers [=McGraw=] from the WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit short ''WesternAnimation/TheWrongTrousers'', a similarly mute, enigmatic bird with nefarious intent.

* FeatheredFiend: One of the evilest chickens you could ever meet.

* AntiVillain: He just wants to save his species.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler: All he really wanted was to resurrect his friends.]]
* EvilBrit: He has a British accent. [[spoiler:The evil part is subverted in that he only wants to revive his friends.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is deep. [[spoiler:The evil part of this one is also subverted when his true intentions are revealed.]]

* InstantIceJustAddCold: "The first frozen snowman... not too shabby!"

* ImplacableMan: Is extremely durable and seemingly never gets exhausted, judging by the handball game he plays with Courage.

* ObviouslyEvil: Courage can easily see how evil he is, and for all Katz's [[FauxAffablyEvil polite demeanor]], he rarely makes that much of an effort to hide how sinister he is.

* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: A [[AxCrazy psychopathic]] [[CatsAreMean cat]] with a creepy fixation on killing his victims in rather gruesome ways.

* CaptainErsatzt: [[WordOfGod According to John Dilworth]], the Chicken is a reference to Feathers [=McGraw=] from the WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit short ''WesternAnimation/TheWrongTrousers]], a similarly mute, enigmatic bird with nefarious intent.

* CaptainErsatzt: [[WordOfGod According to John Dilworth]], the Chicken is a reference to Feathers McGraw from the [[WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit]] short ''WesternAnimation/TheWrongTrousers]], a similarly mute, enigmatic bird with nefarious intent.

* ShoutOut: [[WordOfGod According to John Dilworth]], the Chicken is a reference to Feathers McGraw from the [[WesternAnimation WallaceAndGromit]] short ''WesternAnimation/TheWrongTrousers]], a similarly mute, enigmatic bird with nefarious intent.

* DirtyCoward: One of the few times Katz’s shows any emotion is when he’s the one in danger. This is seen best in "Klub Katz", as he drops all his smug sadism when Wrecking Ball!Eustace turns on him after realizing he stole his chair, desperately begging and bargaining with him in a bid to save his own skin.

* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: A [[AxCrazy psychopathic]] [[CatsAreMean cat]] with a creepy fixation with killing his victims in rather gruesome ways.
* ObviouslyEvil: Courage can easily see how evil he is, and for all Katz's polite demeanor he rarely makes that much of an effort to hide how sinister he is.

* LeanAndMean: A skinny {{Jerkass}}.

* DitzyGenius: While he's revealed to be [[BookSmart a mechanical expert]], and can be [[StreetSmart manipulative at times]], he also doesn't know how to properly [[{{Pun}} watch where he's going]].

* AsianRudeness: He speaks with a Chinese accent and loves to hurl insults at people.

[[caption-width-right:200:''"Hello, welcome to Klub Katz, I'm Katz..."'']]

* {{Catchphrase}}:

* CatsAreMean: He's a cat and easily the most evil character on the show. And naturally, he hates dogs with a passion.
* CatsAreSnarkers: "Pity..."

* TheComicallySerious: Most of the time he is unusually serious but even he can contrast with the silliness of a situation like saying his Catchphrase with difficulty while being crushed under a door.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He's usually very calm no matter what happens to him. Courage slams a door on top of him? [[{{Catchphrase}} "I wish you hadn't done that."]]

* {{Catchphrase}}:

* {{Catchphrase}}: "This is ''GREAT!''"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Watch where you're going, [[YouFool ya fool]]!"

* DrivenByEnvy: If he's not committing crimes for sheer [[ForTheEvulz sadistic enjoyment]], then this is the main motivation behind his crimes. In "Katz Kandy", he attempts to turn Muriel into taffy because she always beats him in the Nowhere Sweet-Stuff contest, and in "Katz Under the Sea", he attempts do demolish a SUB Standards Inc. submarine because they get more customers than Katz Submarine Cruise.

* NeverMyFault: Again, his catchphrase is almost always used when he's the one not paying attention. At one point, he’s standing aimlessly in the middle of the road and doesn’t get out the way of a semi-truck who promptly runs him over - he still has the gall to shake his fist at it and tell it to watch where it’s going while crushed in half with tire tracks. Another point has Eustace call him out on it via BorrowedCatchprace.

* NotMeThisTime: Every now and then, he'll say his catchphrase in situations he had no real control over, such as being already trapped in flypaper when Courage lands on him, or a dragon stomping on his car before he even came out of the grocery store.

A French duck that disguises himself as many jobs but is actually a thief that steals riches from his victims. After his debut his plans are more towards getting revenge on Courage while at the same time trying to steal stuff. He always seems to escape capture every time, and repeats "They have not seen the last of...Le Quack".

* FurryReminder: In "Katz Kandy", he sits like an actual cat during his staring contest with Courage.

* ArchEnemy: By virtue of being the most recurring villain and one who frequently targets Courage and/or the Bagges personally, he functions as Courage's most personal foe.

* {{Jerkass}}: He manages to be a bigger one than even as Eustace, as very rude to everyone he interacts with.
