==Appearances==
==="Hollow Crown"===
Poultrus III made his first appearance in "Hollow Crown," shortly before Christmas in the year 700. He was a member of the Great Plot, a secret attempt between Poultrus, Cottontail IX of Leprolia, Horatio V of Equine Isle, and Jacquetta Lazoy of Felexa to investigate the potential illegal militarization of Vulpus and take action against Queen Vixen VII, who was soon to be coronated under the Harmonious Crown. At the time, Poultrus was the second-longest-serving living Cartonian monarch with a reign of 32 years. They were unable to uncover anything suspicious and did not intervene with the Harmonious Coronation of Vixen VII in Vulpus on January 1, 701. 
===War===
Poultrus III returned in "Suddenly the Skies Darkened" at a dark time in Gallix's history. Surrounded on all sides by Vulpus and Cervidium, Gallix was forced to join the Summer Sun to avoid making enemies of its enormous and powerful neighbors. Poultrus reluctantly agreed to the alliance under the terms that Galligasque chickens would not be called upon to enter the war, and that the monarchy's sovereignty would be upheld. Both were agreed to, but the Summer Sun reneged on their promises in September 709. They issued a harsh conscription notice that would force all chickens between the ages of 16 and 30 to fight in the trenches. Poultrus, usually a weak-willed monarch, made the bold choice to send his troops to defect into Leprolia and join the Granite Bloc. He was aided in this plot by Bentley Connelly of Canis and Cottontail IX of Leprolia. Unfortunately, the plan was discovered. In November, Vulpus and Cervidium invaded Gallix and occupied the Kingdom. Poultrus was pressured under duress to abdicate and become subservient to Vulpus and Cervidium. On November 14, in a live broadcast, Poultrus's apology was rejected by Vixen VII and Stag Ellis. Poultrus was beheaded by the Vixen Queen. His wife and daughter were murdered by Stag Ellis. The monarchy was abolished, Gallix ceased to exist, and the Galligasque territory was split between Vulpus and Cervidium. 
==Character==
===Namesake===
Poultrus's name is derived from the word "poultry" referring to chickens. His surname, Petukinau, is based on the Russian word "петух" (petukh) for rooster.
==Trivia==
*The third season episode "Truth Will Out" makes a reference to the brutal public murder of the King of Gallix, though he is unnamed. This foreshadowed event played out in "Suddenly the Skies Darkened."
