However, Della's disappearance led to Donald cutting off his relationship with his uncle, and Scrooge losing the spark for adventure.

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.

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.

. 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.

Her sons grew up without knowing their mother and the first season sees the ducklings – initially Dewey and Webby - investigating her disappearance.

, November 2017) The triplets eventually find out that days before they hatched, Della - a passionate pilot and aspiring astronaut - took off with a spaceship built by Scrooge; the ''Spear of Selene''. 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 '' Donald's Nephews''.

. Ma has more experience than her boys, and always takes charge when she is around. The 1987 version is introduced in "Robot Robbers", and plays major roles in "Super DuckTales", where she celebrates her birthday, and "The Bride Wore Stripes", where she poses as Scrooge's wife to gain access to his money.
In the 2017 series, Ma manages a junkyard, as seen in her debut in "Daytrip of Doom!". This version is also portrayed as being much more callous and contemptuous when it comes to her sons compared to the original. In "McMystery at McDuck McManor!", it is revealed that she attempted to steal the deed to Duckburg from Scrooge after he stole it from her "poor, defenseless" Grandpappy Beagle. In "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!" and "The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!", the Beagles temporarily took Fort Duckburg and called it "Beagleburg" before Scrooge took the deed back and Ma took control of the Beagles from her father, Pappy Beagle.

politics of the 1980s, Glomgold was rewritten to be of Scottish 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 wake 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 CFO, and later the chairman of the board of directors, with his clones as his fellow members. Following the Moonlander invasion and the Ducks finding Finch's journal, Bradford secretly plots to eliminate Scrooge and his family and collect several artifacts that his grandmother never found in order to finally rid the world of adventuring. 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. After the Ducks found a loophole in the contract, saying that "family is the greatest adventure of all", Bradford is defeated, as well as turned into a non-anthropomorphic vulture by Magica, who now keeps him as her pet. * Black Heron (voiced by
