'''Boulder the Lycanroc''' is a character appearing in ''The Legend of Fox the Brave''. He is a male [[Lycanroc (species)|Dusk Forme Lycanroc]] serving as a main character and occasional POV of the series. He is a close friend of [[Austin Smith]] and [[Storm the Buizel]], as well as a mentor figure to [[Lucky Smith]] and [[Tundra Smith]](when Lucky is kidnapped) during ''[[Rise of Ruin]]''. He is currently the second-in-command of [[Lucky's Resistance]], helping to guide Lucky and Tundra whenever they feel stressed about the leadership. A new remake story, called ''The First Battle'', shows a little more of his dynamic with Austin early into their friendship, given that it overhauls much of the series' old lore.</noinclude><noinclude></noinclude>{{NewInfoBox/Character

Recently, due to new lore for Dusk Lycanroc in ''The Legend of Fox the Brave'' being created, it was confirmed by the creator that Boulder will have the ability to see into the future and past sporadically as sudden visions. It is this that allows Boulder to foretell major events and see past events-thus letting him learn about the Team he fights for. However, he is upset by his powers since he just wants to be a regular Lycanroc. Dawn and Crunch are both Dusk Lycanroc as well, but do not have these powers.

Boulder has the power of foresight, a rare power granted only to Dusk Lycanroc, but is rare even there. This power allows Boulder to have sporadic visions that show him the past, present, or future, but he cannot do it on command. Additionally, it grants him a limited ability to sense people's feelings, as well as walk in dreams. But for the latter, he cannot do it on command, and must be directly touching someone as well as asleep himself.

Boulder the Lycanroc is a character appearing in The Legend of Fox the Brave. He is a male Dusk Forme Lycanroc serving as a main character and occasional POV of the series. He is a close friend of Austin Smith and Storm the Buizel, as well as a mentor figure to Lucky Smith and Tundra Smith(when Lucky is kidnapped) during Rise of Ruin. He is currently the second-in-command of Lucky's Resistance, helping to guide Lucky and Tundra whenever they feel stressed about the leadership. A new remake story, called The First Battle, shows a little more of his dynamic with Austin early into their friendship, given that it overhauls much of the series' old lore.


Appearance

As Rockruff: Boulder resembles a short non-anthropomorphic puppy with tan fur, a brown muzzle, and paws, brown-tipped floppy ears, bright blue eyes, and a pink nose. He has a white mane with rocks in it, and an inward-curling, bushy white tail and a white belly.

As Lycanroc: As Dusk Lycanroc, Boulder greatly resembles a Midday Lycanroc, but with a few obvious key differences. These are that he has orange fur, green eyes(that turn red when angry), and a much longer and thicker, mane. Boulder is rather stocky, and noticeably large for a Dusk, possibly due to his age and experience. He also has a battle-scarred pelt, and a scar slicing across his nose.

Personality

As Rockruff: Boulder is a kind-hearted, friendly soul. He is eager and innocent with a deep love for his father Finnick, who greatly contrasts from the usual portrayal of Midnight Lycanroc in the series.

As Lycanroc: Boulder is stern, firm and calm, but has a surprisingly short temper. When angered, especially in battle or when his friends or family are threatened, Boulder's eyes will become red and he will become almost feral with rage. He is very hard to calm down like this.

History

Before the Series: Boulder was born to the Poni Island Moon Pack(a Pack of Midnight Lycanroc) as the son of Finnick and his former mate Luna. Finnick already wasn't very liked in his Pack because he had more of a Midday Lycanroc's personality rather than that of a Midnight Lycanroc. When Boulder was young, Luna left and Finnick was driven from the Pack because of his reluctance to be savage in any way. The Pack leader chose to raise Boulder as his own purely to spite Finnick and teach the young pup to be savage. However, Boulder had apparently inherited his father's personality, and chose to go with Lucas when the Midday Lycanroc chose to join The Storming Alliance. Later, when Finnick joined, Lucas let him be with his true father, but Boulder continued to allow Lucas to be his adopted father.

Search for the Lost Warriors: Boulder is first seen near the edge of Lamarkie Forest, playing with Cody. When Lucas hears Lycus growling, he hurries over to block the antagonistic Midnight Lycanroc's Stone Edge attack by crouching over him and Cody with them under his belly. Later, while thinking to himself, Lucas considers Boulder more his kin than Lycus.

Return of Evil: See Return of Evil.

Shadows of Vengeance: See Shadows of Vengeance.

The Heart of a Warrior: Boulder serves as one of the POVs.

Lucas the Midday Lycanroc

Sometime before his debut in the series, Boulder was adopted by Lucas when the older Midday Lycanroc took him away from the Poni Moon Pack and became his adoptive father. When Finnick joined The Megastone Rogues to be with his son, Lucas let Boulder be with his biological father, but Boulder still considers him a father.

Dawn the Lycanroc

Boulder and Dawn are mates and love each other deeply. They have friendly arguments often, and are shown to support each other.

Trivia

Boulder is the second character to serve as a POV who isn't from the Four Worlds, as he was born in Alola, which is considered separate. The first is Austin Smith, who is from what could be considered our World.

Due to the Rule of the Worlds, Boulder is immune to the Metal Virus, as he was born in Alola

Boulder's powers are greatly inspired by those of the character Goosefeather from the Warriors book series, specifically the e-book novella Goosefeather's Curse, which explore his powers.

The scene from the Quote above(from Storm of Darkness) is a reference to a similar scene from the 1998 animated Disney movie The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, the direct-to-video sequel to its smash-hit predecessor, The Lion King.
