The Golden Goose is the final antagonist of the 1987 television show Ducktales. Initially, it is shown as an ancient artifact that turns objects into gold, after gaining sentience however, it would begin turning various people into gold for no clear reason.
It's Evil Ranking[]
What Makes It Heinous?[]
- After it gained sentience, it began turning several people into gold.
- It undergoes a transformation in which it shed its skin, creating the Golden Death, which began spreading around the world, turning it and everyone on it into gold.
- While the Golden Death stopped spreading once Scrooge put it back in its fountain, there's no indication it did this out of its own will.
- Its threat of omnicide is not reliant on Fridge Horror, as Poupon itself says that its actions were dooming the world to oblivion.
What Makes It Inconsistent?[]
- While it's stated that the Golden Goose is destined to turn everything to gold, especially people, its moral agency is still questionable as even when it gains sentience, it still appears to be nothing but a non-sapient animal and behaves accordingly.
- It lacks characterization as it doesn't really have a personality at all, making it a Generic Doomsday Villain.
