The Beagle Boys

The Beagle Boys are a group of criminals frequently hired by Flintheart Glomgold or even Magica De Spell to steal Scrooge McDuck's fortune or Number One Dime. Sometimes, they break out of jail of their own accord and attempt to steal Scrooge's fortune alone.

The Beagle Boys were given names and different personalities. The usual character combination is Bigtime, Burger and Bouncer, and sometimes Baggy or Babyface, Bebop and Bankjob. Other known names are Bomber, Blitzkrieg, Bombshell, Bankroll, and Brainstorm. Their leader is usually Bigtime, Bankjob, or their mother, Ma Beagle. In other words, the letter B is the first initial of all Beagle Boys' handles except Megabyte, the brains of the bunch. An interesting note regarding Ma Beagle is: whenever she is involved, she is often the only Beagle to escape successfully.

Ma Beagle has a previous generation of sons that appear in Once Upon A Dime. Their names are Butch (Chuck McCann) and Wild Bill (William Callaway), and the third one is unnamed (Michael Rye). These are the first Beagle Boys Scrooge McDuck meets on his adventures.

In the episode The Status Seekers, there are three Blueblood Beagle Boys named Bonaparte, Bicep, and Bearnaise, staying at the posh Club Fed Penitentiary. Interestingly, the three have striking resemblances to Bigtime, Bouncer, and Burger. They assist Charles Upstart III in seeking out the Mask of Kufululu.

The Beagle Boys also have three female cousins, the Beagle Babes, and several young nephews called the Beagle Brats.
