McViper Family

The McVipers are a family of petty western thieves in America. They primarily consist of longface Dognoses.
== History ==
The McVipers are first known of, as the two brothers Haggis and Snake-eyes working for Murdo MacKenzie in 1882, and tried to steal his award-winning bull the following year.The Buckaroo of the Badlands
One of those two brothers (supposedly Haggis) ended up having three children, whom all moved to Goldopolis, and became a notorious local gang by 1909.The Empire-Builder from Calisota By 1965, of those three brothers, only Copperhead remained in the now delapidated city.Mystery of the Ghost Town Railroad
Although Copperhead was supposed to be the last of the family, two others seem to be around. In 1949, Snake Eyes (supposedly Snake-eyes' son by an Anthropomorphic Cat) had gotten into dishonest sportsmanship, primarily Frog Jumping Contest, and participated in one held in Duckburg.The Great Duckburg Frog-Jumping Contest And in 1967, Snake McViper (an anthropomorphic pig) owned a ranch with a gang of dishonest cowrustlers stealing cattle from Scrooge's Two-Bar-S Ranch.
== Members ==
* Haggis McViper and Snake-Eyes McViper (possibly twins) (~1852 - 1882+)
* Copperhead McViper (~1882 - 1965+)
* Snake McViper
* Snake Eyes McViper (Jr.?) 
== Behind the Scenes ==
The first time a McViper was used, was in the 1949 Carl Barks story The Great Duckburg Frog-Jumping Contest. It is unclear if the other characters with the McViper name were intended to be relatives, or if Barks only reused the same name twice.
The family was reused by Don Rosa for two of his stories, in an attempt to further explain the rivalry Scrooge has with the criminal family.
