Gyro Gearloose is a fictional chicken created by The Walt Disney Company who originally appeared in the comic books as a friend of Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck and anyone who is associated with them. He is the son of Fulton Gearloose.
He is Duckburg's most famous inventor. Even though his inventions don't always work the way he wants them to his intentions are always good. Gyro is often assisted by his (Little) Helper who is a small robot with a light bulb for a head. He appears as a semi regular on DuckTales.
Some of Gyro's relatives include his father Fulton Gearloose, his grandfather Ratchet Gearloose, and Newton Gearloose, his nephew. In some stories Gyro's primary rival is Emil Eagle although he is also antagonized by the Beagle Boys and Magica De Spell.
Gyro Gearloose is one of the many Duckburg inhabitants originally created by Carl Barks.
In the DuckTales cartoon series, Hal Smith supplied Gyro's voice.
