List of DuckTales characters

This article includes a list of characters from the Disney DuckTales animated franchise, including the original 1987 series and the 2017 reboot series, as well as one theatrical movie and a variety of additional spin-off media merchandise, including video games (most notably DuckTales and its updated remake DuckTales: Remastered) and comics. Prior to the series, many of the characters appeared in the Uncle Scrooge comic book stories, in particular the ones created by Carl Barks.

Scrooge McDuck (voiced by Alan Young in the 1987 series, DuckTales the Movie, and DuckTales: Remastered; David Tennant in the 2017 series) is the richest duck in the world, a distinguished citizen of Duckburg, Calisota, the uncle of Donald Duck and Della Duck, the grand-uncle of Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck, and the main protagonist of the original series and the 2017 reboot series, originally created by Carl Barks for his 1947 story "Christmas on Bear Mountain".

In the 1987 series, Scrooge is constantly seeking ways to further increase his wealth (his favorite pastime appears to be treasure hunting), and to avoid losing it. He is a self-made billionaire who left Scotland in his youth and came to America with his Number One Dime, eventually establishing his home in McDuck Manor and erecting his famous Money Bin. He sports a blue jacket with red cuffs and a red collar. Pat Fraley provided the voice for the younger Scrooge in flashback episode "Once Upon a Dime".

In the 2017 series, Scrooge's Scottish heritage, the Money Bin, and the Number One Dime remain the same, but he is well known as a seasoned "adventure capitalist" and CEO of McDuck Enterprises. Born in Glasgow, Scotland in the mid-19th century and getting rich during the Klondike Gold Rush in the 1890s, his decreased aging has been explained by him spending time "stuck in a timeless demon dimension". In his younger days he used to conduct adventures with his nephew Donald and niece Della joining him. However, Della's disappearance led to Donald cutting off his relationship with his uncle, and Scrooge losing the spark for adventure. Ten years later, as seen in the pilot episode, Scrooge regains his energy when he is reunited with Donald and introduced to his grandnephews for the first time. The reboot sees him wearing a red jacket with visible pockets and black cuffs, spats, and collar, as per his comic book appearance.
According to Frank Angones, several lines involving Scrooge using Scottish slang or dialogue are improvised by Tennant, who is also Scottish, to provide an accurate depiction of Scottish people.

Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck (all voiced by Russi Taylor in the 1987 series, DuckTales the Movie, and DuckTales: Remastered; Danny Pudi, Ben Schwartz and Bobby Moynihan in the 2017 series, respectively) are the sons of Della Duck, the nephews of Donald Duck, the grand-nephews of Scrooge McDuck and friends of Webby. They were originally created for the comics by Ted Osborne and Al Taliaferro in 1937.

In the 1987 series, the boys are sent to Scrooge to stay with him, while Donald leaves to join the navy. All three tend to be playful and mischievous, while also being devoted members of the Junior Woodchucks scouts. They are identical in appearance and personality, and wear identical outfits – a cap and jumper – with the only difference between each of them being the color of their clothing: Huey wears red, Dewey wears blue, and Louie wears green. The introduction of this scheme by DuckTales was adapted for later use in future animations that featured the triplets. Avery Schreiber voiced the adult Huey, Dewey and Louie in a possible future scenario in the episode "Duck to the Future".

In the 2017 series, Huey, Dewey, and Louie (short for Hubert, Dewford, and Llewellyn) are slightly older, and each have different appearances, voices, and personalities - Huey, wearing a red polo shirt and cap, is the intelligent older brother and a devoted Junior Woodchuck; Dewey, wearing a blue T-shirt with a light blue long-sleeved T-shirt underneath, is the adventurous, courageous and sensitive middle brother, and the one most eager to find out what happened to their mother Della; and Louie, wearing a green hoodie, is the laid-back, money-obsessed younger brother and a resourceful schemer, jokingly described as the "evil triplet". Although all three are mischievous and sneaky around Donald, they are wide-eyed admirers of Scrooge's fortune and the legends of his adventures. Initially, the boys are sent to stay with Scrooge while Donald attends a job interview during "Woo-oo!", but after renewing Scrooge's spirit for adventure and Dewey accidentally wrecking their houseboat, Donald and the boys move into McDuck Manor and accompany him on his new adventures. Della had initially wanted to name her sons "Jet, Turbo, and Rebel" respectively; but Donald came up with their current names in her absence.

Webbigail "Webby" Vanderquack (voiced by Russi Taylor in the 1987 series, DuckTales the Movie, and DuckTales: Remastered; Kate Micucci in the 2017 series) is the granddaughter of Mrs. Beakley and a friend of Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck who, like them, also refers to Scrooge as "Uncle Scrooge".
