Courage the Cowardly Dog

Courage is the main protagonist of the Courage the Cowardly Dog series. He appeared in the 184th episode of Death Battle, Scooby-Doo VS Courage the Cowardly Dog, where he fought against Scooby-Doo from the Scooby-Doo series.
==History==
Abandoned as a pup when his parents were sent to space by a crazed veterinarian, Courage was found and adopted by the kind-hearted Muriel, who lives in the middle of Nowhere with her grumpy and greedy husband, Eustace Bagge. Unfortunately, creepy stuff happens in Nowhere, and it always seems to find its way to Courage and his new home. But no matter what, Courage will always push past his otherwise cowardly nature to rescue the owner he loves so much... and Eustace, too.
