The Chickens From Outer Space,[1] also known as the Space Chickens, are creatures that appear in Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall and its fan revivals. They are a chicken-like species of intergalactic conquerors who had set their sights on the Earth long before Lord Fuse. They are defeated time and time again, however, by Courage. Their commanding officer is General Tso.[1] However, they are currently stranded in Nowhere after crash-landing on the Earth, where they are attacked by Fusion eggplants that they have mistaken for the native Mutant Eggplants.[2]
History[]
Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall[]
Before FusionFall[]
Before Lord Fuse came to the Earth, a large group of Chickens From Outer Space found their ship pulled helplessly from space by a UFO magnet located in Nowhere, and were forced to crash near Courage's house.

The Past[]
General Tso, a Chicken From Outer Space, from OpenFusion.
After the arrival of Planet Fusion, with Lord Fuse determined to keep everyone on the Earth grounded, the Chickens From Outer Space had no way of returning to their home planet. As their agents spread around the world, they would appear on the shores of Bravo Beach, the forest of Acorn Flats, or around Offworld Plaza. Other Chickens from Outer Space would assist the war effort against Planet Fusion on Earth by helping selling items to the people in the war.
As if being stranded on Earth was not enough, the Chickens From Outer Space found themselves constantly under attack by the Mutant Eggplants of Nowhere. In reality, the Mutant Eggplants were actually Fusion Monsters, but the Chickens From Outer Space could not tell the difference, leading to a constant conflict between the alien poultry and the mutated botany. Thanks to the efforts of the Avatar though, the Chickens From Outer Space came to realize that the Mutant Eggplants never meant them harm, and that their true enemy was Fuse.

Origin[]
The Chicken From Outer Space, from Courage the Cowardly Dog.
The Chickens From Outer Space originate from the 1999 American animated comedy horror television series Courage the Cowardly Dog. In that media, they are recurring antagonists in the show. An alien race that greatly resembles terrestrial Earth chickens, they are known for their hostility and thirst for vengeance. The most infamous of them is the Space Chicken, the first known foe that Courage encountered in Nowhere.
When the Space Chicken first appeared on Earth and victimized Muriel and Eustace, Courage fought him, during which the Space Chicken literally got turned into a headless and cooked chicken with his own laser pistol. The Space Chicken later returned in the same state to get revenge on Courage and take his head as a replacement for his. However, Courage stopped him again and destroyed him for good. Later, the Space Chicken's wife had their mutant son seek retribution against Courage to restore their honor, or stay away from home. When they could not defeat Courage though, Courage let them fake his death so they could fool their mother and return home.
