Premise
The series is set in the kingdom of Udrogoth during the Middle Ages. It centers on Dave (voiced by Danny Cooksey), a powerful, yet cowardly, barbarian who lives with his fashionable and self-centered older sister Candy (voiced by Erica Luttrell) and feisty younger sister Fang (voiced by Tress MacNeille). His parents, Throktar and Glimia, are the king and queen of Udrogoth but are away "fighting evil" across the world (though they sometimes communicate via a magic crystal ball or cauldron) and have left Candy in charge of the kingdom as princess regent, while Dave is supposed to defend the kingdom (since he is the biggest). Together the three siblings, along with their gluttonous and mildly incompetent "wizard" uncle Oswidge (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson), are left to run and protect the kingdom from the comical, yet villainous and devious, Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy (voiced by Paul Rugg), as well as from other enemies and dangers.
