In the vast and complex epic of our Mahakavya Mahabharat, the concept of a "useless" character can be subjective, as each character contributes to the narrative in some way. But still I feel that Chitrangad had not much importance in the epic, he doesn't contribute much to the plot except of being the elder son of Satyavati and Shantanu.

Ambika and Ambalika were useless characters

To vote karo na us option ko
1. Satyavati's two sons. I don't even remember their names. They're that much unimportant. One lesson they taught to mankind was not all children of kings are worthy enough for the throne. This is important in today's world too. For example, A good doctor's son/daughter may not necessarily be a good doctor too.
2. Ambika and Ambalika. The only big thing they did was giving birth to Dhritarashtra and Pandu respectively.
3. 98 children of Dhritarashtra.
4. Most of the children of the Pandavas
Oh this is a poll thread? I hadn't noticed that

I don't think Vikarna (third Kaurava) can be called useless
He was the only one to openly support Draupadi that angered Karna to disrobe Draupadi. If not for that probably things might not have escalated so much
P.S. I deliberately didn't put Kaurava/Pandava/Karna children in the option because except for their names and their heroics in war we know very little of them. They were there because they existed

I feel the same too
But Mahabharat was a Itihas so whosoever existed had to be mentioned irrespective of their importance in main set of events but for us we could check who contributed more in our area of interest
Could you explain your rationale for putting the options you did in the poll? For instance, I'm not sure how Nakul could be deemed irrelevant..

I don't think he had much of an individual contribution. He is mostly mentioned along with Sahdev and he is the one who did most things among them.
I don't think his absence would have made much difference.
Again here the characters mentioned are those who are responsible to do something not the ones who just happened to be there since they were
