Boog (Open Season)

Boog is the main protagonist of the Open Season franchise. Despite him getting irritated right away at the start of being brought to the wild. He's a laid-back grizzly bear, and becomes the best friend of a dimwitted deer named Elliot protecting him at all costs from danger from a dangerous hunter named Shaw who he untied from his truck.
== Why He's Great ==
* Is a likeable, and relatable character for people to connect to adapting to new changes in their life.
* He learns to enjoy the life of the wild, instead of being domesticated around civilization.
* Becomes best friends with Elliot after previously disliking for the causing him to get sent to the wild.
* Even though he was the cause of flooding the dam, and all the forest animals including himself in the rapids got dropped down to the hunting grounds. He apologized for it, and encouraged the animals to fight back against the hunters becoming their leader.
* Defeated Shaw after thinking Elliot died getting shot, and instead of maiming him like grizzlies do in real life. Tied him up with his gun attached so no more animals would get shot.
* Despite being given the opportunity to go back home with his owner Beth. He instead decided to stay in the forest with his new friends, especially Elliot.
* He cares for his friends, and is loyal to them, especially when Mr. Weenie got captured by his owners. Went on an adventure with his friends to get him back.
* Proves himself to be brave in confrontation, despite being cowardly at times, and conquered his fear of the werewolf, but instead having to defeat Shaw again.
== Bad Qualities ==
* His best friend is completely idiotic at times, and he constantly puts up with him on a daily basis, despite Elliot being a bad friend towards him because of his dimwittedness.
* In the third film the writers broke his character of doing exactly what Elliot did in the first movie of driving a shopping cart into the mini mart.
