| “ | To all intelligent lifeforms across space... I am Emperor Buggler, this universe's new ruler. As the first stage of this intergalactic conquest, I have taken the liberty of seizing control of the five main planets in the Starry Sky Solar System. Before long, the planets that all of you inhabit shall too meet the same fate. If you value your lives, bow down and accept me as your ruler. If you disagree, then of course you're always free to challenge my faithful followers, the Five Dastardly Bombers, to battle... If you have the courage and strength to do so, of course... Hahahahaha! | „ |

Buggler (also known as Buglear or Bagura) is the main antagonist of the Bomberman franchise.
He is one of White Bomberman's most commonly faced villains and arguably his archenemy, first appearing in Bomberman '94 and becoming the main antagonist of many Bomberman titles since then.
In Super Bomberman R, he is voiced by Kotaro Nakamura in the Japanese version, and Michael Rhys in the English dubbed version.
Appearance[]
In classic games, Buggler was an old blue alien who was bald with a grizzly beard, a red B in his forehead, and a monocle in his left eye. He wears blue overalls with white clothing underneath, black shoulder pads, a red cloak with purple in front, a black belt, blue gloves, and blue shoes. In Super Bomberman R, he is now human in appearance with a more heavily armored suit. The iris on his left eye is gray and he has a creepy permanent smile showing his teeth and disturbingly his sharp triangular canines.
Personality[]
In the games, Buggler is without a doubt, quite evil. Buggler has his eyes set on universal hegemony and the destruction of the Bomberman Bros, doing it even when a brain is all that is left of him. In Super Bomberman R, he broadcasts his desire to conquer the universe to all planets, giving them the choice of bowing down to him or being wiped out. He also proclaims that as long as people are evil, he will return to cause trouble.
Biography[]
Appearing to be an elderly man, Buggler is also a scientist, as is evident by his official title of "Professor Buggler", he created many evil Bombermen and is a brilliant (if mad) scientist whose origins appear to lay deep within the mysteries of space and time.
