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.

She is hired by Scrooge as a nanny for the nephews in the third part of the pilot episode, not asking for any payment other than a shelter for herself and Webby. She has been in the line of work for a long time and used to take care of the young Prince Greydrake, and she has proven to be a capable opera singer.

Her nationality has also been changed to British. After years of being overprotective of Webby, the nephews' arrival causes her to agree to let her be a part of Scrooge's adventures. Donald and Della refer to her as "Mrs. B". Beakley and Donald did not get along at first; though when the kids are kidnapped by the Beagle Boys, they join forces and eventually gain respect for each other. Initially, Beakley also dislikes Webby's friend Lena, regarding her as a bad influence, but after Lena saves her life she becomes more accepting of her.

. In the 1987 series, his appearance was deliberately downplayed to give more focus to Scrooge and the boys. After leaving his nephews with Scrooge to serve with the US Navy, he makes occasional appearances while crossing paths with the rest of the Ducks during their adventures. In the first-season finale, he returns to Duckburg to serve as best man at Scrooge's wedding to Millionara Vanderbucks. He is not seen in the later seasons. In the 2017 series, Donald's role is significantly increased to involve him in the adventures of Scrooge and his nephews, which included changing a part of his background with his uncle. In the show, he, Della, and Scrooge used to adventure together, until Della's disappearance caused Donald to cut off contact with Scrooge; not speaking to him for the next decade and raising Della's children in her absence. However, ten years later, as seen in the pilot episode, when Donald discovers his nephews' plan to be alone to cause some mischief with their houseboat, he reluctantly reunites with Scrooge to get him to babysit the boys. After a mishap leads him to becoming involved in a new adventure with Scrooge, and losing his houseboat, Donald agrees to move his family to McDuck Manor while still trying to maintain his independence. In addition to increasing his appearance, the reboot also sees him wearing the black sailor suit that he wears in many of the comics upon which the show is based. Like in the comics, Donald's main character traits are his bad luck and short temper, while he is also struggling to be a good parent figure to his nephews. In "Whatever Happened to Donald Duck?!", it is revealed that his anger stemmed from a fear that the world was out to get him and that no one could understand him. After Della had the boys and taking anger management counseling with Jones, he channeled his anger into protecting his nephews like they were his kids.

When she got caught in a cosmic storm, Scrooge tried to guide her through it, but contact with the ''Spear'' was lost. Donald, blaming Scrooge for Della's disappearance, cut off all contact with his uncle and raised the triplets by himself, while Scrooge spent years trying to find his niece until his board of directors cut the expenses. In "The Shadow War!", she is shown to be alive and well, though stranded on the Moon and unable to contact Earth. Her fate following the crash is seen in season two – having lost her left leg, she built a prosthetic replacement and she managed to survive using Gyro's Oxy-Chew gum, which provided her with oxygen, water and nutrients, along with her skills as a former Junior Woodchuck. Ten years after the crash she encountered the hidden Lunar civilization of the Moonlanders. She is eventually able to return to Earth, unaware that the Moonlanders have declared war on Earth and that her spaceship has left Earth with Donald on board, and is reunited with her family (except Donald, until the events of "Moonvasion!"). In the series finale, "The Last Adventure!", it is revealed that Bradford told Della about the ''Spear of Selene'' to undermine Scrooge. As seen in "Last Christmas", Della and Donald lived with Scrooge at McDuck Manor during their childhood and when annoyed with his sister, Donald used to insult Della by calling her "Dumbella", a reference to her name in the 1938 animated short ''

descent for ''DuckTales''. In the 1987 series, he first appears in the second part of the pilot episode, and typically comes up with schemes to earn money at Scrooge's expense to surpass Scrooge as the world's richest duck. In addition to his ''DuckTales'' role, Glomgold also makes a cameo appearance in the ''

'' episode "In Like Blunt", along with the Beagle Boys and Magica De Spell. In the 2017 series, debuting in "Woo-oo!", he runs Glomgold Industries and makes his fortune through personal branding; preferring to develop his products as cheaply as possible. In this series, Glomgold is characterized as comically unhinged, to the point where other characters do not take his schemes very seriously. Additionally, his aversion towards Scrooge is both personal and professional, as he does not shy away from attempting to kill him and willingly shows up at his

to celebrate his death. In "The Ballad of Duke Baloney!", after recovering from amnesia caused by the events of "The Shadow War!", it is revealed that Glomgold's birth name was "Duke Baloney", and that he was born and raised in South Africa. After meeting Scrooge, who refused to pay him properly for polishing his shoes in an attempt to teach him self-reliance and hard work, he changed his name to "Flintheart Glomgold" and swore to beat Scrooge in every way possible, including becoming the world's richest duck and proving himself as "the most Scottish" between them. After Glomgold gets his memory back, he makes a bet with Scrooge and, throughout season two, they compete to become the richest duck in the world by the end of the year, with the winner getting the loser's company. In "GlomTales!", Glomgold forms an alliance with several of Scrooge's greatest enemies and Louie in a last ditch effort to win the bet. He seemingly wins after Louie convinces the other villains to pool their resources with Glomgold's, but he ends up losing everything to Louie because "Flintheart Glomgold" is not his real name and he signed a contract stating everything would revert to his partner, Louie, forcing him to escape from the angry villains after they turn on him. Despite what happened, he returns in "Moonvasion!" to help Scrooge defeat the Moonlanders with one of his insane schemes since General Lunaris had a counter for all of Scrooge's plans, and trick him into returning his company to him. The name "Duke Baloney" is derived from "the Duke of Baloni", a one-time-only character created by Carl Barks three years prior to Glomgold, and the first character described by Barks as "the second-richest duck in the world".

. Magica is convinced that the dime has magic powers that will help her to gain world domination. In the 1987 series, she makes her first appearance in "Send in the Clones", living on a distant island inside a volcano in the shape of her head. She speaks with an Eastern European accent, and is often assisted by her brother Poe, who was trapped in the shape of a non-anthropomorphic raven. While she mostly appeared in the show's first season, she makes one final appearance in the season three episode, "The Unbreakable Bin". In the 2017 series, she is "a vile sorceress with a mysterious, ancient grudge against Clan McDuck" who was trapped in a shadowy form. Throughout season one, Magica pressures her "niece" Lena into gaining the Ducks’ trust so she can steal the Number One Dime and regain her corporeal form. When Lena eventually attempts to come clean, Magica grows strong enough from an approaching eclipse to possess Lena's body and prevent her from doing so. Magica's past is revealed in the season's finale "The Shadow War!": Fifteen years ago, Scrooge sealed her physical form in a pocket dimension within his Number One Dime. At the last second though, she used a spell to create Lena from a part of her shadow, thus remaining in contact with the outside world. In the present, empowered by the eclipse, Magica regains her physical form and traps Scrooge in his Number One Dime while exacting her revenge by attacking Duckburg. After a climactic battle in Scrooge's Money Bin, Magica is defeated by the Ducks and rendered powerless, forcing her to escape. In "A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!", she returns to haunt Lena and the kids in their dreams using a telepathic helmet as Lena has part of her powers, but was ultimately foiled after Lena destroys her helmet. In "GlomTales!", while forced to work as a birthday party magician, Magica joins Glomgold's alliance to destroy Scrooge and his family, only to be defeated once again. In "The Phantom and the Sorceress", Webby, Lena, and Violet come to Magica for help in training Lena to use her magic to stop the Phantom Blot, which Magica reluctantly agreed to due to his vendetta against her for destroying his village. Once the Phantom Blot was defeated, Magica regained her powers, but is driven off by Lena. In "The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!", it is revealed that she and Poe once ruled a village together until they first encountered and fought Scrooge and she accidentally turned Poe into a raven, who flew off after Scrooge refused to stop him. Magica tried to find Poe, but was unable to and swore revenge against Scrooge.

) is a high-ranking Moonlander and an exclusive character to the 2017 series. In season two, he encounters Della during her decade on the Moon. While initially appearing kind and understanding, he is secretly resentful of the Earth due to his father's fear of the planet and the Moon literally living in the Earth's shadow, and intends to one day assert the Moon's dominance over Earth's people. After Della fixes the ''Spear of Selene'' and returns to Earth, Lunaris deceives his people into thinking that Della is their enemy, and declares war on Earth. When Donald accidentally ends up on the Moon, Lunaris takes him captive. While overseeing preparations for the invasion, Lunaris' second-in-command Penumbra works against him to foil his plans, but he catches onto her quickly and stops her before she can destroy his rocket fleet. Though he nearly catches Donald, the determined duck manages to escape to Earth in Lunaris' prototype rocket, leading the Moonlander to believe he could not have survived. In the season's finale, "Moonvasion!", Lunaris launches his invasion while developing countermeasures for any plan Scrooge could devise and using a planetary engine to force the Earth to revolve around the Moon. However, due to an unpredictable scheme by Glomgold, he is defeated by the Ducks and Penumbra, leaving his engine adrift in Earth's orbit as its new moon. While the Moonlanders' civilization was created for the 2017 series, it is inspired by the Moon Stage of the ''

'' and '' DuckTales: Remastered'' video games. The soundtrack of the Moon Stage is also used in several of the show's Moon-based scenes – most notably as a lullaby sung by Della in the episode "Whatever Happened to Della Duck?!" and "Moonvasion!" alongside Louie, who reveals Donald learned the song and sung it to the triplets while Della was missing.

Their members included Dr. Nogood, Odd-Duck, Bruno Von Beak, and Feathers Galore. F.O.W.L. was later reworked for the ''Darkwing Duck'' animated series, appearing as recurring antagonists opposed by the spy agency S.H.U.S.H. In the 2017 series, F.O.W.L. was founded in the 1960s by Bradford Buzzard and Black Heron after S.H.U.S.H. rejected Bradford’s proposal to rein in the world's chaos by taking it over. The organization is introduced during a flashback to the 1960s, when Mrs. Beakley (then known as Agent 22), teams up with Scrooge as part of a S.H.U.S.H. assignment to prevent F.O.W.L. from obtaining the gummiberry juice potion needed to create an army of super soldiers. Following the Moonlander invasion, F.O.W.L. decides that Scrooge and his family are too much of a risk to their organization and the world, and starts planning to eliminate them.

In his youth, Bradford accompanied his grandmother, Isabella Finch, on her adventures as the first Junior Woodchuck, but grew to despise them due to the various dangers they posed, so he dedicated his life to containing the world's chaos by ridding it of adventuring. Years later, Bradford came to work as an accountant for S.H.U.S.H., where he proposed to have the organization control and prevent chaos by taking over the world, but was rejected, so he co-founded F.O.W.L. alongside Black Heron to achieve his goal instead. After seeing Scrooge as a threat, Bradford infiltrated McDuck Enterprises so that he can bring an end to Scrooge's adventuring ways while serving as the company's

After Taurus Bulba went rogue, Bradford was forced to reveal his connection to F.O.W.L., but he kept his ambition to obtain the artifacts. In the series finale, "The Last Adventure!", Bradford attempts to defeat Scrooge by forcing him to sign an anti-adventuring contract and throwing the artifacts into an artificial black hole, while also sacrificing Heron and his clones in the process.

She is later revealed to be a cyborg after experimenting on herself and an agent of F.O.W.L. Despite this, she maintained her relationship with Fenton and eventually decided to leave F.O.W.L., only to be caught by Bradford and imprisoned in the Library of Alexandria. She was later rescued by Fenton and the Ducks.

''; Omid Abtahi in the 2017 series) is a Middle Eastern acquaintance of the Ducks, created for ''DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp''. In the 1987 series, Dijon debuted in the movie, as an inept thief with kleptomania, working for the wizard Merlock. Thereafter, he returns for three of the last five episodes of the series. In the episode "Attack of the Metal Mites", he is seen working for Glomgold, and in the two-part series finale "The Golden Goose", he is reunited with his estranged brother, Poupon. In the 2017 series, he is re-imagined as a jackal and a fierce adventurer named Faris D'jinn – an ally of Scrooge, noted for being the descendant of an actual genie. He debuts in "Treasure of the Found Lamp!", when he looks for his lost lamp that was passed between Gladstone, Doofus, and Ma Beagle after it was part of a garage sale overseen by Duckworth's ghost. During the Moonlander invasion, Djinn was seen with Amunet and the living mummies fighting the Moonlanders in Egypt.

Gene the Genie

Gene the Genie (voiced by Rip Taylor in ''DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp''; Jaleel White in the 2017 series) is the genie of the movie's title lamp. As such, he is targeted by the evil sorcerer, Merlock, but eventually ends up becoming a real boy and a friend of the kids of McDuck Manor. In the 2017 series, Gene was trapped in the Lost Lamp of Collie Baba ever since the year 1990. In "Quack Pack!", amidst the Ducks' search for the lamp, Donald wished for a normal family life, which Gene obliged by erasing the Ducks' memories and sending them into a 1990s sitcom. While the Ducks went through the motions of an episode plotline, Gene made "guest appearances" in commercials and as a photographer. The Ducks eventually realized what happened to them and demand Gene send them back, but he reveals that only Donald can undo the wish since he was the one who made it. Despite Donald initially refusing to do so and the wish fighting to maintain itself when the Ducks tried to escape, Donald is convinced to use his second wish to undo the first, and uses his last wish for a framed family photo. Following this, Gene remains behind in his treasure cavern before he is kidnapped by F.O.W.L. and eventually rescued by the Ducks.

Poe De Spell

Poe De Spell (voiced by

in the 1987 series; Martin Freeman in the 2017 series) is Magica's brother and familiar, always seen in the shape of a non-anthropomorphic raven, and assisting her in three episodes. In Poe's debut episode, "Send in the Clones", it is stated that he was somehow permanently transformed into a raven and cannot be turned back by conventional magic. His name is a reference to author Edgar Allan Poe, and Poe often ends his stanzas with the word "nevermore", quoting the poem "The Raven". Poe appears in a flashback in the 2017 series episode "The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!" Unlike his 1987 counterpart, Poe is initially presented as an anthropomorphic duck instead of a raven and was Magica's twin brother. Together with her, Poe ruled over a small village and terrorized its people, keeping Magica in check and making sure she did not go overboard with her magic. During a battle with the De Spells, Scrooge riled up Magica to the point of ignoring her brother's warnings, resulting in her accidentally transforming Poe into a non-verbal, non-anthropomorphic raven. Despite Magica begging for help, Scrooge allowed Poe to fly out of a broken window, never to be seen again. A grieving Magica swore vengeance against Scrooge and merged Poe's discarded amulet with her own to form her staff.

* Admiral Grimitz (voiced by

) – The navy commander on the aircraft carrier that Donald is a midshipman on.

Exclusive to the 2017 series

* Lena Sabrewing (voiced by Kimiko Glenn) – A street smart and seemingly carefree teenage girl introduced in "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!", when she befriends Webby. However, she was secretly attempting to win the Ducks' trust to gain access to Scrooge's Number One Dime on behalf of her "aunt", Magica De Spell. As season one progressed, Lena became increasingly torn between her aunt's villainous schemes and her growing friendship with Webby. When Lena eventually decides to side with the Ducks, Magica grows strong enough to possess her body moments before she has the chance to tell Scrooge the truth. In the season's finale, the kids discovers that she is actually a shadow created by Magica to get revenge on Scrooge and free herself. During the final battle, Lena is able to fight against Magica, but ends up sacrificing herself to protect Webby. During season two, Lena continued to watch over Webby from the "shadow realm", and with the help of her newfound friend Violet, Webby is able to bring Lena back to the world of the living. In "A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!", Lena struggles with nightmares of becoming Magica as she is still her shadow and plans a slumber party for Webby, Violet, and the boys to keep herself awake. After accidentally trapping them in a shared dream with Magica's powers and nearly losing herself when Magica invades the dream, her friends are able to save her and foil Magica, helping her realize she does not need Magica and overcome her fears. As of season three, Lena has moved in with Violet's family and mastered her magic after training under Magica. Lena also makes minor appearances in "Moonvasion!", "The Split Sword of Swanstantine!", and "The Last Adventure!"
Lena was created for the 2017 series. Initially, to conceal Lena's connection to Magica, she was originally referred to by the placeholder name of Lena LeStrange. * Twelve Olympians, Greek gods – Old acquaintances of Donald, Della, and Scrooge. The trio is introduced in "The Spear of Selene!" when the Ducks visit Ithaquack, their home island in the Mediterranean Sea. Following this, they also make minor appearances throughout the series. ** Storkules (voiced by Chris Diamantopoulos) – The god of strength and heroes who is physically imposing, noble, and pure-hearted, but also naïve and somewhat clueless. He idolizes Donald, who finds Storkules' well-meaning gestures invasive. In season two, he moves to Duckburg to become Donald's tenant after being kicked out of his home by his father. When the Moonlanders invade, Zeus recalled Storkules to Ithaquack and forbade him to help Donald or Scrooge. After tying up Zeus off-screen, Storkules helps set the Earth back in orbit with his strength after the Moonlanders attached a planetary engine to make it revolve around the moon. ** Selene (voiced by Nia Vardalos) – The goddess of the moon, Storkules' sister and a dear friend of Della's, who named ''The Spear of Selene'' in her honor. She also appears in "Treasure of the Lost Lamp!" after Scrooge, Webby, and D'jinn visit Ithaquack. ** Zeus (voiced by Michael Chiklis) – The king of the gods and the god of thunder and hospitality as well as the brother of Hades and father of Storkules and Selene who suffers from an inferiority complex towards Scrooge. Additionally, he makes a minor appearance in "The Golden Spear!", wherein he attacks Storkules and Dewey for stealing Hermes' winged sandals. In "Moonvasion!", Zeus prevents his offspring from helping Scrooge fight the Moonlanders, but they stand up to him and tie him up off-screen to help the Ducks restore Earth. In "New Gods on the Block!", Zeus is temporarily stripped of his powers. While he eventually regains them, he accidentally casts himself to Hades' realm. : While the trio is a 2017 series creation based on Ancient Rome, Roman hero Hercules, the Moon goddess Selene, and the Greek deity Zeus, the island of Ithaquack (based on Homer's Ithaca) first appeared in the 1987 series. * Negaduck, Jim Starling / Negaduck (voiced by Jim Cummings) – An actor and the former star of the live-action superhero television series, ''Darkwing Duck'', a show-within-a-show where he played the title character. Launchpad, who grew up watching the show and considers himself its biggest fan, describes Starling as "an old school actor who did all his own stunts". While initially only appearing as the Darkwing Duck character, Starling is introduced in "The Duck Knight Returns!", as a cynical faded star who is upset to learn that McDuck Studios is rebooting the franchise and replacing him with a younger actor named Drake Mallard. As his plans to regain the role fail, he finally loses his mind and attempts to kill his successor, only to seemingly perish himself. Unbeknownst to the world, he survived and has begun plotting his revenge, now sporting a discolored costume.
The actual animated ''

'' series originally aired from 1991 to 1992, as a Spin-off (media), spin-off of the original ''DuckTales'' series, with Launchpad as the title character's sidekick. Starling's name was chosen by the producers as a nod to voice actor, Jim Cummings, who voiced both Darkwing Duck in the original series, as well as ''DuckTales''’ Starling. Starling's altered costume notably mirrors that of arch-villain Negaduck of the animated series; a character also voiced by Cummings. Although ''DuckTales''–''Darkwing Duck'' crossover (fiction), crossover comic books have been produced, this marks the first occurrence of Darkwing in ''DuckTales'' animation. * Don Karnage (voiced by Jaime Camil) – The arrogant and vain leader of a band of sky pirates who are based on an air carrier called ''The Iron Vulture''. He is introduced in "Sky Pirates...in the Sky!", when he encountered the Ducks and swore vengeance against Dewey for upstaging him. In "GlomTales", Glomgold recruits Karnage to help him destroy Scrooge and his family, which he accepts under the condition that he can finish off Dewey, though the alliance is defeated in the end. In "The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker!", F.O.W.L. hires Karnage to find the Stone of What Was, but he runs afoul of Kit, Della, Huey, and Dewey. While his enemies get the stone, Karnage procures a small fragment of it. In the series finale "The Last Adventure!", he joins F.O.W.L. in a plot to rid the world of adventuring and faces Dewey in a dogfight until they end up crashing.
Karnage originated as the main antagonist of the 1990s animated series, ''TaleSpin''. * Fethry Duck (voiced by Tom Kenny) – Donald's energetic and rather peculiar cousin, introduced in "The Depths of Cousin Fethry!", when he serves as a caretaker at one of McDuck Enterprises' marine science stations. He is visited by Huey and Dewey, who mistake him for a scientist. However, his years of living around the marine science stations have made him an expert in adapting to underwater life and communicating with sea creatures, and the episode ends with him leaving to become an actual scientist after being reunited with his pet krill, Mitzi; who had been mutated to colossal size due to hydro-thermal vents. In "Moonvasion!", he and Mitzi team up with Gladstone to save Donald, Della, and the kids from the island before taking them back to Duckburg and help Scrooge repel the Moonlander invasion. Fethry later reappears in the comic book story "Saga of the Super-Intern!", published in the 20th issue of IDW's ''DuckTales'', where he is hired as an intern at Gyro's lab.''DuckTales'' #20

Unlike Glomgold, she is both honest and a capable businesswoman. After his return, she remains at the company as his closest associate during his year-long competition to overthrow Scrooge as the richest duck in the world, even in spite of his manic, childish behavior. She soon transfers over to McDuck Enterprises when it seems like Scrooge is going to win, but she ends up working for Louie after he gets both Scrooge and Glomgold's fortunes at the end of the competition. Following an attack by the Bombie, she snaps under the pressure and quits. As of "Let's Get Dangerous!", she became the mayor of St. Canard.
An original ''DuckTales'' character, Zan Owlson is named after series producer, Suzanna Olson. * José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles (voiced by Bernardo De Paula and Arturo Del Puerto) – Donald's college friends and fellow members of their band, The Three Caballeros, who used to practice in Scrooge's garage. They first appear in "The Town Where Everyone Was Nice!", when the trio reunites, and José and Panchito are introduced to the kids. Wanting to impress the others, José claims to be a successful travel agent and Panchito fakes being a pop star, although they are eventually revealed to be a flight attendant and birthday party performer, respectively. In "Louie's Eleven!", they attempted to infiltrate a party held by Emma Glamour alongside Donald to increase their popularity.
José and Panchito have appeared in several animated productions alongside Donald, starting in the 1940s feature films ''Saludos Amigos'' and ''The Three Caballeros''. De Paula and Del Puerto improvised several lines involving the characters' native languages to provide accurate Brazilian and Mexican depictions. * Lieutenant Penumbra (voiced by Julie Bowen) – A Moonlander and Lunaris' most trusted officer. She is fiercely protective of the moon and its people. As such, she initially perceived Della as a threat; treating her with distrust and distaste despite her repeated attempts to win Penumbra's friendship. Over time, she begins to warm up to Della and comes to disagree with Lunaris' manipulation of their people into war with Earth. After Donald ends up on the moon and gets taken prisoner, she secretly frees him so he can help her stop Lunaris by destroying his fleet; in the process discovering that her commanding officer had planned to invade Earth long before Della came. Just as she gives Donald a transmitter to warn Earth, she's subdued by Lunaris and prevented from helping Donald further. Despite what happened, she ultimately manages to send a warning to Della and later assists her and her family in disabling Lunaris' engine. Penumbra spent the following months trying to repair her ship and take her people back to the Moon, only to learn that they want to stay on Earth. While initially reluctant to do so as well, she was convinced after saving Webby and Dewey from the collapsing "Flintferris Glomwheel".
An original ''DuckTales'' creation, the character is a lesbian according to writer Sam King. * Violet Sabrewing (voiced by Libe Barer) – A book-smart girl who shares Webby's interests in the supernatural and helps bring Lena back from the shadow realm, as seen in her debut, "Friendship Hates Magic!" In "Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks!", she competes with Huey for the title of "Senior Woodchuck". The episode also reveals her fathers are a Same-sex marriage, same-sex couple named Indy and Ty Sabrewing. Violet also makes minor appearances in "Happy Birthday Doofus Drake!", "A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!", "Moonvasion!", "The Split Sword of Swanstantine!", and "The Last Adventure!" * Darkwing Duck (character), Drake Mallard / Darkwing Duck (voiced by Chris Diamantopoulos) – An up-and-coming actor who replaces Jim Starling as Darkwing Duck in McDuck Studios' reboot film. He and Launchpad form a strong friendship due to their shared love of the ''Darkwing Duck'' series. When Starling unsuccessfully attempts to kill him and the production fails, Launchpad convinces Drake to become a real-life superhero. In "Moonvasion!", Drake assists Scrooge in staging a rebellion against Lunaris and the Moonlanders' invasion and then helps Scrooge get to his manor by switching outfits with him since Drake himself was perceived as unremarkable by the aliens. As of "Let's Get Dangerous!", he moved to St. Canard and set up a secret lair to continue fighting crime. In "The Last Adventure!", he joins the Ducks in foiling F.O.W.L.'s plans to rid the world of adventuring.
Drake shares his name with that of Darkwing Duck's civilian identity in Darkwing Duck, the 1990s animated series. * B.O.Y.D. (voiced by Nicolas Cantu in season two; Noah Baird in season three) – A childlike android introduced in "Happy Birthday, Doofus Drake!" as the "Beaks Optimistic Youth Droid". After Beaks found him in a junkyard, he used B.O.Y.D. to increase his social media clout and con Doofus Drake out of millions of dollars before Louie exposed the ruse. After Louie gave the android to Doofus as a little brother, B.O.Y.D. took half of his inheritance money, allowing Doofus' parents to stand up to him. In season three, B.O.Y.D. joined the Junior Woodchucks, befriended Huey, and discovered his past. Originally, he was 2-BO, a childlike defense drone created by Gyro decades ago before his mentor, Dr. Akita, tampered with his programming and made him destroy Tokyolk before abandoning him. Despite B.O.Y.D. falling under Akita's control again in the present, Gyro reconciled with the android and helped him gain control of his programming so he can live his life like a normal child, even changing his acronym to "Be Only Yourself, Dude" to reflect this. In "The Last Adventure!", he joins the Ducks in foiling F.O.W.L.'s plans to rid the world of adventuring. * Daisy Duck (voiced by

) – The personal assistant to Emma Glamour who, much like Donald, is prone to angry outbursts. Debuting in "Louie's Eleven!", she attempts to ensure Glamour's party runs smoothly, only to get trapped in an elevator with Donald while he was helping his band, the Three Caballeros, perform at the party. They end up developing a mutual attraction for one another and work together to escape and defeat a band of criminals that infiltrated the party. They later become a couple in "New Gods on the Block!".
Daisy is Donald's longtime girlfriend in various Disney media, first introduced in the 1940 animated short ''Mr. Duck Steps Out''; with her ''DuckTales'' design taking inspiration from her appearance in ''Donald's Diary''. While she was absent from the original ''DuckTales'' series, the 2017 series' incarnation is notable in that she and Donald meet for the first time and eventually enter a relationship. She was originally set to appear in "The Infernal Internship of Mark Beaks" as Glomgold's assistant and Donald's ex-girlfriend, but the idea was scrapped due to both story purposes and perceived similarities with Donald and Scrooge's background. She was also considered to appear in an earlier draft for the season two premiere, with her characterization based on her ''Quack Pack'' incarnation, but the idea was dropped when the episode's storyline changed.
