**Tusky Husky** (better known as **Tusky** or **Driller**) is a major character in the Enchanted Pup franchise. Like his teammates, he has superhuman powers. He's capable of retracting a tooth-like drill, allowing him to dig into that too's strong for his teammates to handle.

## Background

Tusky lived on a planet where animals could grow long teeth in the form of a drill. The species of the unnamed planet went under the name of Drillers who were known as the only species to have a tooth that is the most powerful and unbreakable substance in the universe. Tusky spent his time on his home planet training, making his tooth more stronger so that nothing can break his tooth. At some point in his life, Tusky was given an opportunity to work and live with the Dog Star Patrol. He accepted the opportunity and became an official member of the patrol dedicating his life to protecting defenseless planets from Mechanikat.

### Development

Tusky Husky is based off the character with the same name from the cartoon series, *Krypto the Superdog* and the comics. During his childhood, Tusky was one of Elkwood's favorite characters. He wrote several fan-fiction stories that featured him and the Dog Stars. In the Enchanted franchise, Tusky's family and backstory will be further explained, along with his teammates'.

### Personality

Tusky is one of the Dog Stars who's always excited and loves fighting crime with each other. Not only does Tusky embrace his powers but he adores them. Being the only dog to have the strongest tooth, Tusky seems to have an inflated ego, by boasting about his abilities and how it has saved others from Mechanikat. Doing that can often lead to confrontations between his teammates, notably the male ones (except Krypto, Streaky and Bathound). Tusky is shown to have a kind heart as he wishes to help his people and protect his family. He does seem to have a soft side for his teammates, rather than boasting about his powers. Tusky seems to be very affectionate of others, as shown with his friendship with Hansel. He was very fond of him, as shown when the latter gave him a nickname that Tusky seems to like.

### Physical appearance

Tusky is a slender and slightly muscular Siberian Husky with blue fur. He has a white muzzle and underbelly. His tail seems to be curled and has a red nose.

### Powers and abilities

#### Powers

* **Tooth Retraction:** Tusky's prominent ability is being able to retract a driller tooth from and back into his mouth and use it for whatever he needs it for.
	+ **Tooth Drilling:** Tusky's long tooth is in the form of a drill and he uses it for drilling into substances that his teammates can't break into.
	+ **Durability:** Tusky's tooth is indestructible and cannot be broken or destroyed.

#### Weaknesses

* **Tooth pain:** If Tusky is having intense tooth pain or has a disease that involves teeth, it'll be impossible for him to use his driller tooth. If he tries and uses his tooth in that state, the pain will worsen and it'll lead to the tooth growing weaker and eventually falling out.

## Appearances

### The Enchanted Pup: The Series

#### The Enchanted Pup meets Krypto

Before the events of the episode, the Dog Stars are battling Mechanikat for a memory chip that contains the blueprints for a doomsday device. Tusky manages to get ahold of the memory drive and uses his tooth driller to destroy it. As the Dog Stars retreated back to their ship, Mechanikat vows vengeance and how he'll do everything he can to retrieve the memory chip.

Mechanikat has his trusted henchman, Snooky go over to the Metro City Science fair to steal a memory retrieving machine from the inventor, Hansel. Snooky steals the invention and retreats back to his master's spaceship. Krypto and Streaky who witnessed Snooky's theft, brings Hansel aboard the Dog Stars spaceship where he meets each of them. They then take off to Mechanikat's ship and infiltrate it. However, Hansel accidentally sets off a booby trap and it gets them captured in a cage.

Mechanikat appears and drains the Dog Stars of their powers by using his neutralizer. He then tells the Dog Stars, his plan to regain the blueprints, construct the doomsday device and use it to take over the galaxy, starting with planet Earth. Just as Mechanikat left the control room, Hansel manages to retrieve the neutralizer and restore the Dog Stars' powers. Mechanikat discovers this and orders the Catbots to attack them. The Cat Bots are defeated, Mechanikat is stripped of his memory and Hansel regains his invention.

Back aboard, Brainy awards Hansel with a medal for his heroism and he accepts the offer to become an official Dog Star. They fly back to planet Earth to Metro City where Hansel wins the science fair.
