Deudeen

Deudeen is the het ship between Clawdeen Wolf and Deuce Gorgon from the Monster High fandom.

Monster High: The Movie
When Clawdeen Wolf attends Monster High as a freshmen, Deuce Gorgon had decided to walk away from the path he was going down and broke up with his long time girlfriend, Cleo de Nile. So when Deuce saw Clawdeen stand up to Cleo to defend herself and her friend, he was impressed and walked up to her. After Frankie pointed out that an attractive monster was staring at her. Clawdeen points out that he is a Gorgon after seeing one of his snakes, and Deuce knowing how other monsters feel about his kind reassures Clawdeen that he isn't that kind of Gorgon. Explaining that he has a no bite rule and the glasses he wears keeps his eyes from turning anyone to stone, to make Deuce feel good about his glasses Clawdeen says that they are a good look for him; before the two exchange names. From how nice Deuce was to them Clawdeen was surprised to learn that he used to date Cleo. Hearing Deuce say that he is trying not to be who he used to be has Clawdeen knowing what he meant by that. Having to hide who she really was in the human world and hopes to find a place she can belong in the monster one. As history class started Deuce gives Clawdeen kind smile, before they focus on the lesson. Because Clawdeen is trying to hide the fact that she is secretly half human, it was hard seeing Deuce and the other monsters she got to know agreeing with the monster view of humans being the enemy.

Deuce hears that Clawdeen was picked to give a speech at the founder's day dinner to honour her mother and the fact that he normally helps out that those events, he offers to give Clawdeen a hand with her speech. He also wanted to see if Clawdeen would like to hang out with him. Instead of giving him an answer Clawdeen takes off, from notices that he triggers the emotions that brings her human side out and had to get away from him before her secret could be exposed. As she tells Frankie this and wasn't sure how Deuce could trigger her "fight or flight response," Frankie subjects that it could be due to Clawdeen developing feelings for him. An answer she didn't expect and denies having any kind of feelings for him, while Frankie starts to lists the things that might have attracted Clawdeen to him. Clawdeen makes herself clear that she only sees Deuce as a friend and tries to get everyone else to stop saying that she likes him. After that Clawdeen kept her distance from Deuce.

Learning that Draculaura's powder spell needs snake venom as the last ingredient, Clawdeen decides to get some from Deuce's snake hair. With it being a safer option, despite her worrying that it might not be easy with her planning to require some without his knowledge. When Clawdeen approaches Deuce she makes it appear like she wants to take him up on his offer to work on his speech. To give them privacy to work on it, Deuce brings her to the swamp he finds peaceful and can gather his thoughts. As they talk about Clawdeen's mum Deuce mentions that he is the first of his family to attend Monster High and how Gorgons being the unloved monsters nearly led him down a dark path, so he decided to make a change in figure out who he is. Clawdeen recommends that he could try running for student council, feeling that he has an interest in the field, but Deuce feels that no one would vote for a Gorgon. This got Clawdeen to say that she would and if he wants it he should go for it, while believing in who he is rather than what people expect of him. As the song "I Can Trust You" has Deuce expresses his thoughts and how he feels that he can trust her, Clawdeen tries to sneak some venom from him before getting roped into the song. After the song ends Clawdeen decides to simply ask Deuce for the venom and he agrees to, saying that all she has to do is ask. Even though she couldn't share the reason why she needs it. Talking to her friends about Deuce afterwards gets her to realise that she has in fact fallen for him and everyone else agrees that Deuce is into her too.

After Clawdeen sends an SOS to Cleo for help, she informs Deuce who gets the students at the Founder's Dinner to help him save Clawdeen and her friends from Mr. Komos (aka Edward "Eddy" Hyde Jr.). As the three finally escape the mausoleum Deuce arrivals just in time to help Clawdeen carry Draculaura, she warns him of Komos's ability as Clawdeen explains what happened to her friend. Seeing Komo about to harm Clawdeen, Deuce tells him to leave her alone, before trying to stop Komos with his deadly stone starring stare, but Hyde Jr. ends up stealing his powers and uses them on him. After Komos knocks Deuce down and Clawdeen goes to his side, he says that he finally got to look into her eyes before the stone transformation was complete. Feeling that she has lost Deuce causes Clawdeen to turn into her human form. Cloe realises that this gives Clawdeen an advantage over Komos and hands her phone over to her, so she can get justice for Deuce. Turning his new stone stare against him and his defeat has the stole powers return to their rightful owners, as well as reviving Deuce. Who sees Clawdeen in her human form and still expects her, as the two embrace one another.

When it appeared that Clawdeen's exposed secret was going to have her be expelled from Monster High, the school decides to change their view on true monster hearts and allow her to stay. Seeing Clawdeen expect who she is and to no longer hide either of her two sides, Deuce decides to run for student council like they talked about. Clawdeen was happy to hear this as he shares his news with her.

Monster High: The Movie 2
Sadly, just as they could've started their second year as a couple, Deuce had to leave Monster High to find himself.

Fanon
Deudeen is seen as one of the main ships of the live-action films of Monster High. Loyal fans of the previous generations of the franchise, however, tend to rival Deudeen with Cleuce. With Cleo de Nile being Deuce's long-time girlfriend in Gens 1 and 2. Before the movie series aired, some had simply shipped Clawdeen x Deuce for fun, with them being friends in all three Gens. Just as there are those who rather ship Deuce with Cleo, there is another group who think that he should be with Clawd Wolf. While Clawdeen is shipped with Draculaura or any of her friends.

Although the 2022 Gen 3 series has similar character plot point elements that were used in the live-action films, like Clawdeen's human/werewolf hybrid heritage and Deuce breaking up with Cleo, the rebooted series mostly has the two has friends. Clawdeen has hinted that she has a crush on someone, but the identity of her crush wasn't revealed and there are suggestions that she might have lost interest in this person. Fans of the live-action films have wondered if her mysterious crush could have been Deuce, while other groups have their own theories on the subject.

On AO3, the ship has 19 fanfics.
