Dave the Barbarian is the huge (about 6'11 and 3 quarters), muscular barbarian war-prince of Udrogoth who would rather knit, cook, and clean than fight evil (which is very unusual for a Barbarian). He is afraid of a lot of things, and screams a lot. At least once in an episode, he will be frightened somehow, and shriek his high-pitched, effeminate scream. Dave has a pet dragon called Faffy, which he treats like a dog or a cat. He is occasionally seen singing in the background, when he is happy. Dave the Barbarian frowns upon the sins done by the members of his family.
