**Terry Bogard** (テリー・ボガード, *Terī Bogādo*) is the main protagonist of the *Fatal Fury* series. He has appeared in every ***Fatal Fury*** and ***King of Fighters*** game, and is one of the characters of choice to symbolize the company in crossover games, merchandise and publicity. He appears to fit many Japanese stereotypes for an American character in appearance, personality and speech (his in-game vocabulary is usually limited to American colloquialisms, such as "Okay!" and "Hey, c'mon, c'mon!").

Terry Bogard is the elder brother of Andy Bogard. Both of them were orphan childs adopted by Jeff Bogard. He is often referred to as the "**Legendary Hungry Wolf**" (from *Garou Densetsu*, meaning "Legend of the Hungry Wolf"). He has a pet monkey named Ukee (the previous mascot of SNK before Terry). He has a knack for scoring in basketball, which explains the creation of his Power Dunk move. His official nickname is "**The Legendary Wolf**" (伝説の狼, *Densetsu no Ookami*). and "**South Town Hero**" (サウスタウンヒーロー, *Sausu Taun Hīrō*).

## Powers

* **Sense:** Terry can sense the presence of people nearby.
* **Ergokinesis:** Terry has an incredible power of energy, that he uses when gathering chi energy from Gaia.
	+ **Gather Chi:** Terry can gather chi energy from Gaia, the mother-earth.
	+ **Power Wave:** Terry can fire a projectile of energy that travels through the ground, or form an explosive area-of-effect strike known as *Round Wave*.
		- **Power Geyser:** By punching the ground, Terry can make a more powerful version of the Power Wave, creating a massive geyser of energy coming from below the ground. He can either summon extra rows of geysers with a single punch, punch a few more times for one extra each, or wave his fist around to create more in one setting.
	+ **Energy Attacks:** Terry can use chi energy to increase the damage of his normal attacks.
		- **Burn Knuckle/Quick Burn:** Terry can surround his fist in energy to deliver a fierce punch.

* **Adaptability:** Due to his training in various fighting techniques, Terry can adapt with any opponent he faces.
* **Resilience:** Terry can take a lot of punishment when fighting brutish opponents like Wolfgang Krauser and Grant.
* **Survival:** Terry lived and grew up on the mean streets of Southtown and other parts of the USA where survival was an everyday battle.

## Fighting Style

Terry uses a mixture of boxing, karate, kung fu, kickboxing and street fighting moves to create a very unique fighting style, mixed in with chi techniques learned from his Hakkyokuseiken master, Tung Fu Rue. He had also learned martial arts directly from his adoptive father, Jeff Bogard. Other sources state his fighting experience was also gained from brawling on the streets for years to hone proper techniques for himself, where he tested out varying methods of fighting to his tastes.

Terry is an all-around fighter, with extensive knowledge of many martial arts techniques. He uses many variations of punches, such as hooks and uppercuts and can also kick with ease. A majority of his techniques have a "power naming" motif, via *Power Wave*, *Power Drive*, *Power Shoot* and *Power Geyser*. Two of his signature moves, the *Crack Shoot* and *Power Dunk*, were inspired by Terry's love for basketball, in which the latter move was enhanced in The King of Fighters XIV and was renamed the "*Star Dunk Volcano*".

In later years, Terry also developed a technique that ties into his wolf motif, named the *Buster Wolf*. He also in a few instances, creates a technique that has the same input scheme as Geese's *Deadly Rave* (as a possible tribute), known as the *Rising Beat*, which first debuted in *SvC Chaos*. Terry also pays tribute to Geese's son Rock by having his own version of his stronger-version *Shine Knuckle*, the *Rising Force* (which acts as his HSDM/MAX2DM).
