Goose

Goose is a character from Marvel Comics who appears in Captain Marvel and The Marvels.
==Background==
Goose is a Flerken from the planet of the same name, despite her outward appearance. As such, she possesses abilities beyond that of Earth cats, the most notable one being the ability to swallow anything and keep it stored inside her belly. After making her way to Earth, she became Carol Danvers' pet, and once she returned to Earth as Captain Marvel, she helped her and Nick Fury in their battle against the Kree. After Carol departed for space to live with the Skrulls, Goose became Fury's pet.
Goose is notable because she is responsible for clawing off Fury's left eye with a nasty incurable scar. Fury's statement in Captain America: The Winter Soldier ("the last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye") most likely indicates his anger and bitterness about being deceived by the Kree, and his intent to never let himself be deceived by evildoers again.
Goose is also notable for retrieving the Tesseract so that it would be once again in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s custody.

Goose appears in this film owned by Mar-Vell and is taken in by Nick Fury while on a mission. When Mar-Vell is killed, Fury takes ownership of Goose until the "cat" scratches his eye out, making him become blind in one eye and become fearful of the creture. Talos then informs Fury, Maria Rambeau and Carol Danvers that Goose is only disguised as a cat and is actually a creature known as a flerken. Sometime later, Fury adopts the flerken and keeps it will him throughout his adventures in space and earth.

Goose reappears in this film now owned by Captain Marvel and joins her on her journey's throughout space. When Carol gets entangled with Kamala Khan, Goose appears in front of the teenager, whom is horrorfied to see Goose eat someone who is associated with Dar-Benn and she explains what Goose has done when she is teleported back home to her parents, where she panics. Goose then spits out the people it ate, much to the horror of Kamala's family.
Goose is then mentioned in a flashback set in 2020, when Maria Rambeau asked Carol to take Goose as Maria had learnt her cancer had returned and didn't have much time left to live. However, Carol refused to take care of the "cat" as she believed Maria was able to beat the cancer a second time. Maria mentioned to Carol that Goose wasn't a cat and it was just until "Monica got back", until Carol reminded Maria that Monica wouldn't return as she had blipped two years earlier. 
While Carol is dealing with Dar-Benn with Kamala and Monica Rambeau, Goose is kept on Fury's ship with Kamala's family, where it birth's hundreds of Flerken's. 
Following Dar-Benn defeat and demise, Goose is reunited with Captain Marvel and back in her care.
