The Space Chicken is an alien chicken that resembles an Earth chicken except for his two red eyes and blue waddle. The Space Chicken appeared in the first Courage the Cowardly Dog short, "The Chicken from Outer Space". He was also the first antagonist that victimized Eustace and Muriel Bagge and the first antagonist that Courage had to face.
The arrival of the Space Chicken was first observed by Courage while he was resting on the front porch of the Bagge residence after being frightened away by Eustace's Mask. The Space Chicken was still within his spaceship landing it in front of the Bagge residence in full view for Courage. Though Courage immediately informed the couple about the Space Chicken's arrival, the two were surprised when they saw nothing at the front porch. Unbenknownst to everyone, it was during Courage's alert to the Bagge couple when the Space Chicken performed his plans, which was to replace every chicken in the Bagge's chicken coop.
The Space Chicken succeeded in eliminating all the other chickens from the coop, but not before Courage witnessed the act. Being afraid as usual, Courage immediately ran towards the Bagge's once again in order to warn them of the Space Chicken. Instead of informing them, however, Courage took Muriel to the coop.
The Space Chicken was recognized by Muriel as an ordinary chicken, from which she took some of his eggs. The Space Chicken's eggs were unlike Earth chicken eggs as they would turn any human who consumes it into the Space Chicken's species. Eustace fell victim to this, however, which stopped Muriel from eating any amount of it.
Courage was more than determined to rescue Muriel from the transformed Eustace, but was hindered by the Space Chicken himself, who challenged Courage to a series of challenges. Fortunately, Courage was able ot best him at every turn. Angered, the Space Chicken decided to simply shoot Courage with a laser beam. This backfired, though, when the beam missed and was reflected hitting the Space Chicken in the process. This resulted with the Space Chicken being cooked and headless. Afterwards, Courage shot the fully transformed Eustace with the same laser beam, which turned him into ash.
The chicken appears later as a headless, featherless brown chicken wearing blue wellington boots. He looks more drastically changed from his first appearance, telling Courage that he was zapped with his own laser weapon and lost his head and feathers. He gains Eustace's head, voice and personality.
