Muriel Bagge is the deuteragonist of the series Courage the Cowardly Dog. A Scottish elderly woman, Muriel is the kind and sweet owner of Courage, as well as the industrious wife of Eustace Bagge. Though she is the show's damsel-in-distress, Muriel is also an excellent cook and refuses to tolerate any nonsense or misbehavior - she employs her weapon of choice (a rolling pin) to smack Eustace whenever he scares, teases, abuses, or otherwise mistreats Courage.
