The Fiendish Organization for World Larceny, better known as FOWL (sometimes spelled "F.O.W.L."), is a global criminal organization bent on world domination. FOWL was created by Dr. Nogood, but after his demise it was led by the High Command. The organization is the biggest headache of SHUSH and Darkwing Duck has several of its agents in his rogue gallery for either his intended target or agents he helped arresting. F.O.W.L.'s leadership lies in the hands of the shadowy High Command, a trinity whose identities are carefully kept secret. They run the organization mercilessly in regards to any victims of their schemes as well as their own agents if their boasts and paycheck outdo their deeds.
