Bucko Bigbones

Bucko Bigbones is a march hare of the North Mountains. He is "king" of a massive group of hares, hedgehogs and moles. Lord Brocktree meets up with Bucko because he thinks he could use his army to win back Salamandastron. Brocktree challenges Bucko in a wrestling contest, only to be knocked out on the king's first strike. After that, Dotti gets angry at Bucko because he denies that Dotti is a "fatal beauty". She challenges him to a fight, which he denies. Dotti gets aggravated and forces Bucko to fight her. Bucko declares a 3 day contest for the crown after Dotti calls him a coward.

The fight consists of 3 challenges, one each day; The bragging, where the two beasts try to outbrag each other. The rules are no physical contact. Dotti wins by making Bucko so angry that he lashes out at Dotti. The haremaid ducks and avoids the attack, but King Bucko's paw touches her shoulder, therefore breaking the rules.

The second contest is the feasting, which goes on from sunrise to sunset. The victor is the person who is still eating at sunset, or if the other Contestant yields to the other. Dotti wins by eating continuosly, and only drinking mint tea, while the king gulps down litres of wine. Eventually the wine makes him fall asleep, making Dotti win.

The third contest is the fighting, which is the most important part of the contest, as it determines which hare picks up the crown. Bucko has grown wary of Dotti's tricks so he is very cautious. Bucko brings his paws down on Dotti, but she ducks and kicks Bucko's foot, much to the approval of the audience. Bucko then charges at Dotti, who falls on her back and kicks out at the king's stomach, winding him. Slowly, he gets up. He fell, lashing out at Dotti as he collapsed. Dotti jumped back to the log boundary, out of the way of the king. A loud crash sounds as Bucko hits the logs. Dotti is crowned as queen of Bucko's hordes, but she gives the crown and the sceptre to Lord Brocktree.
