Courage the Cowardly Dog

Courage, also known as Stupid Dog, Dog, Nigel and Dear Boy, is the titular main protagonist of the Courage the Cowardly Dog series.
== Charactah Account ==
Courage is a pink and black spotted dog (of no known specific breed) who saves his owners Muriel and Eustace from all the creatures.
Courage, as the show's title suggests, is an extremely cowardly and anxious dog frightened easily by almost anything. Despite this, when he or his owners are in the complete face of danger, he will stop at nothing to save them.
Though he is willing to risk his own life to protect Muriel at all costs, his irrationality sometimes causes others to doubt his intuition. Courage has been presented as an almost entirely selfless character, working to benefit others with usually little to no regard for his own well being and risking his own life dozens of times simply to assure his owner's safety.

== Trivia ==
* Courage is one of seven characters (the others being Muriel, Eustace, Shirley, Dr. Vindaloo, the Computerand Katz) to appear in every season.
** He and Muriel are the only characters to be seen in every episode (as Eustace was not seen or heard in "Cajun Granny Stew").
* Courage spoke coherent English quite often in the first season, but from the second season onwards his dialogue became increasingly limited to gibberish, mumbling, and screams, only coherently speaking occasionally. According to his voice actor Marty Grabstein, this was a deliberate decision.
* Courage's breed is often the subject of debate. Most sources say that he is a beagle (just like Snoopy from Peanuts), but others claim that he is a mutt or some sort of terrier.
* Courage is the only character (besides Katz and Le Quack) who ever speaks directly to the audience. The frequency with which he does so (nearly every episode) makes it one of his trademark characteristics.
** Courage has many sounds that he's known for, such as his strange laugh at the end of some episodes.
* During Courage's first flashback in Remembrance of Courage Past, his mother reveals his father's name when she calls him as he was playing with Courage.
* Courage's favorite food is chicken dumplings ("Remembrance of Courage Past").
* Courage is good at making shadow puppets as shown in "The Hunchback of Nowhere".
* Courage can lay 14-Karat golden eggs as shown in Muted Muriel.
* Courage made a cameo in the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes crossover episode, Crossover Nexus, as one of the heroes defeated by Strike. He also makes a cameo as a stone statue.
* According to Grabstein himself, there was difficulty casting the character.
** Associate producer Risa Neuwirth said 350 actors auditioned for the role before Grabstein was cast.
* Courage returns as one of the two titular main protagonists in the crossover direct-to-video film Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog.
