- The Beagle Boys are a repugnant group of thugs from the Scrooge McDuck universe. They are a gang of criminals who constantly try to rob Scrooge McDuck. Their introduction and first appearance was in Terror of the Beagle Boys, in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #134, although in this story they only appear in the last frame and have no lines. They appear again in the next issue in a similar fashion, in The Big Bin on Killmotor Hill. They first get a more prominent role in the later story Only a Poor Old Man. They also appeared as villains in the Disney animated series Ducktales.
- The Beagle Boys are a gang of criminals who constantly try to rob the extremely wealthy Scrooge McDuck. They first appeared in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #134, in the Carl Barks comic Terror of the Beagle Boys. When not serving as the central threats, the Beagle Boys often appear as henchmen for Flintheart Glomgold, Magica De Spell, or Pete.
- In the comics, the Beagle Boys never fought superheroes, rather acting as antagonists for Scrooge McDuck as thieves and ne'er-do-wells.
- The Beagle Boys were originally created by Carl Barks, and made their first appearance in the 10-page story The Terror of the Beagle Boys (WDC #134) that was first published in November 1951. Although the Beagle Boys are only shown very briefly on the last page of this story, it is implied that Scrooge has known about them for a long time. The first story to feature the Beagle Boys in a major role is Only a Poor Old Man from March 1952, which serves as a template for virtually all future Beagle Boys appearances, and establishes them as a serious threat to Scrooge's fortune.
- 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.
- Often the band is led by his mother, Ma Beagle. Beagle Boys has many relatives who are brothers and cousins, and they all devote themselves to the delinquency, except one of the cousins who is honored, and it is considered to be the black sheep of the family. Often they conspire together with other villains like Magica De Spell, Peg Leg Pete, Madam Mim or are contracted for John D. Rockerduck. In the series Duck Tales, as in the tales of cómic, they try to steal the fortune from Scrooge McDuck.
