Courage The protagonist of the show, a pink fuchsia dog, as stated in the opening credits, he was abadoned as a puppy and left in an alley, he was eventually found by a young Muriel Bagge who took him in. He is tagged as a "cowardly dog", although, whenever any supernatural forces threaten Muriel and Eustace, he usually acts as the reluctant hero. He is recognized for his trademark scream of complete terror. Courage also has the quality of never giving up. Courage also has a compassionate side, often showing kindness and friendship to monsters and creatures shunned by the rest of society. Courage speaks in standard English to the viewer, but when he wants to convey a message to the other characters of the series, he usually acts out the message while blabbering in high-pithced incoherent gibberish.
Muriel Bagge

Eustace has horrible luck, a episode typically ends leaving him in numerous predicaments. (Such as being blasted to the moon, eaten, zapped, mummified, transformed, possessed, or other misfortunes). Eustace is extremely selfish, never willing to give up his trademark red recliner to anyone. Eustace also has a very love-hate relationship with his Mother, nicknamed "Ma", Eustace will also spend hours watching his dated television set. Eustace is also bitter, and also a horrible farmer, never being able to grow one single plant. Eustace also loves money, going to great links to attain it. He is also bald, wearing a green-hat to cover up his head. "Dr. Le Quack: Amnesia Specialist" reveals that he considers Muriel to be his "slave woman". Lionel Wilson, the original voice of Eustace, died in a transition from the show's seasons.
