Biography
Don't deal with the Devil Red Guy!
The Red Guy was originally introduced as "The Devil" in the pilot episode for Cow and Chicken, "No Smoking". He took residence in Hell with the sole purpose of spreading evil and "bad stuff" all over the world. The Devil kidnapped Chicken after seeing him smoking and tricked him to go to the underworld so he can torture him forever. Cow, Chicken's little sister, rescued him under her SuperCow alter-ego and foiled the Devil from his malicious plan.
In subsequent appearances of the series, the Red Guy had no traces of his original persona; save for his vaguely devil-like appearance, and his three-headed pet dog Cerberus. He instead adopted numerous roles to trick Cow and Chicken in his evil schemes.

Development
The Red Guy—originally based on the devil archetype—was added to the series because creator David Feiss saw him as the key to the show, and felt that it added "that extra element of chaos."[1]
