| ~ Dr. Gerbil to the Bagges. |
Dr. Gerbil is a minor villain in Courage the Cowardly Dog. He is the main antagonist in the episode "Human Habitrail".
He was voiced by Guy Paul, minus his screams and laughs, which were provided by series creator John R. Dilworth.
History[]
In the episode, he poses as a vacuum cleaning doctor and uses a vacuum to suck up Muriel and Eustace. He then tells Courage that he'd been freed of his torment. He then puts them through all kinds of tests as an act of vengeance on humans for their mistreatment of animals. After Courage rescued Eustace and Muriel with Dr. Gerbil's vacuum, he chases Courage in a water-boat, and falls off a waterfall to his apparent doom, although later on it is revealed he survived.
Personality[]
Dr. Gerbil is a rather sly and cruel individual but comes across as a charming salesman when initially presenting himself to the Bagges. He speaks with a southern accent and dawns a checkered vest, blue bowtie and yellow hat. The devious rodent shows his true colors when he abducts Eustace and Muriel for human experimentation. He is also quite prideful, insisting on being called "Doctor" Gerbil instead of "mister". When experimenting on his subjects, Dr. Gerbil can be described as straight up diabolical, seemingly getting kicks from every test inflicted upon a subject.

Trivia[]
- Despite being one of the more comical villains in the show (horribly experimenting on humans aside), the scene where he chases Courage near the end of his eponymous episode can be considered very dramatic due to the creepy music in the background that is played during his chase and him nearly drowning after going over the waterfall.
- The song played in his lair 'It's Doc Gerbil's World' can be considered a jab at the widely-disliked song 'It's a Small World After All' that is played at Disney World as Courage is seen barely keeping himself together when listening to the song. The ride that Courage takes in Dr. Gebril's lair is even a parody of the ride at Disney World.
