Eustace Bagge

Eustace is a cruel, bad-tempered and nasty old farmer who is married to the kind-natured Muriel - he is an antagonist to Courage the Cowardly Dog throughout the series and is basically a big bully who constantly calls Courage "stupid" - mistreats him and loves to scare him: often his cruelty earns him a bop on the head by Muriel and he is also regularly maimed or tortured by the many ghosts and ghouls that haunt Courage.
