The Chicken from Outer Space is the show's first villain, introduced by the pilot episode of the same name. His eggs are unlike regular chicken eggs as they have red spots with a red yolk, are mutagenic and whoever eats them will turn into one. In his first appearance, he tries to take over the farm, he lays eggs in the chicken coop which were eaten by Eustace and ends up being shot by his own laser gun, turning into a headless roast chicken. He later returns in "The Revenge of The Chicken from Outer Space" where he wants to use a plunger to rip off Courage's head and put it on his roasted body. He ends up ripping off Eustace's head and tries to destroy Courage but is then blown up in his space ship when a rocket blasts into it. In "Son of the Chicken from Outer Space", his three-headed son is sent to Earth to avenge him and kill Courage. Unfortunately, like their father, they are no match for the timid dog and fear that they will never be able to go home until Courage is dead. Feeling sympathy for them, Courage helps them by taking fake pictures to make it look like they succeeded in killing him and fool their mother into thinking that their mission was a success.
