Michael Tucker and Mrs. Tucker are Grady and Emily's parents. They appear in the fourteenth book in the Goosebumps series, The Werewolf of Fever Swamp as well as its television adaptation.
History
Mr. and Mrs. Tucker are a pair of scientists who move their family to Fever Swamp to see how swamp deer from South America take to Florida swamp weather. While they both enjoy the locale, their kids Grady and Emily aren't fond of it. After Grady has a run in with a weird Swamp Hermit, he tries to tell his dad about it, but Mr. Tucker says to pay no mind to the hermit. Grady begins to hear stories about werewolves, but his parents believe to be superstition brought on by the swamp fever that Fever Swamp is named after.
Grady soon finds a stray dog named Wolf that he wants to keep, but his parents aren't too fond of the idea. Overtime, animals around the Tucker house begin to be killed, including some of the swamp deer. Mr. and Mrs. Tucker blame Wolf and threaten to send the dog off to be killed, but Grady stops it from happening. Grady soon learns that it was his friend Will Blake who was the culprit, as Will was actually a werewolf. After Will is chased off by Wolf, everything goes back to normal, and Grady is allowed to keep Wolf. However, unbeknownst to the rest of his family, Grady and Wolf go out every night to howl as they have now become werewolves.
