Donkey is the deuteragonist of the Shrek franchise. He is the deuteragonist of Shrek and Shrek 2, one of the two tritagonists of Shrek the Third, and the tritagonist of Shrek Forever After. He is Shrek's best friend, Dragon's husband, and the Dronkeys' father. Because he talks (seemingly without end), Shrek's catchphrase became "DONKEY!"
