Smogtaur

**Dwayne** is a main character in *The Enchanted Pup* franchise. He is the eldest son of Giselle and Robert Pup and the oldest brother of Sierra, Charles and Hansel. A weredog with a love for weightlifting and bodybuilding, Dwayne was blessed with superhuman strength.

## Background

Born into the Pup family, Dwayne is the eldest son of Robert and Giselle and the oldest brother of Sierra, Charles and Hansel. In addition to being the nephew of Bloodmoon, Wolfgang, Luna, Burnskin, Eddie, Angel, Blackmane, Blacktail and Dalila, Dwayne is also the cousin of Archibald, Artie, Stella, Brodi, Adam, Ace, Timmy, Runt, Martin, Abigail and Karen. Dwayne was born shortly after his Grandpa Odin and Grandma Jade passed away. He is also Sebastian's second-youngest cousin as well and the third grandchild of the Pups.

On the night of Dwayne's eighth birthday, he was blessed with Supernatural Strength. Dwayne tested his new ability by lifting the Greek God, Zeus. With Dwayne's strength being equally as powerful as Zeus', Robert took his son to Mount Olympus to be trained since his power can be unstable if not trained. Throughout the years, Dwayne became an older brother to a sister and two brothers. On the occasions, his parents went absent, Dwayne would serve as his younger siblings' caretaker. Dwayne was particularly close with Sierra as they were both trained on Olympus.

Dwayne's magical power was pivotal to the EverRealmian community as he would assist the citizens with jobs that are too heavy for them to do. Dwayne was very close with his cousin, Ace whom he affectionally referred to as his "Gym Buddy" as the two canines had powers that involved physical fitness.

One day, King Blacktail and Queen Dalila, the rulers of EverRealm mysteriously died, leaving Blacktail's stepbrother to rise as king. Upon his coronation, he outlawed magic with the punishment being death. Robert and Giselle feared for their children's safety and felt that it would be best to leave EverRealm, immediately. Robert made private plans to take his family off EverRealm so they could practice their powers in peace. While taking his family on a tour through the museum he works at, a mysterious fire breaks loose and nothing could put it out. Before the building exploded, Robert and Giselle were relocated to another planet and the Pup children were taken to live on planet Snowi with its ruler, Prince Marley. To further secure her children's safety, Giselle used her magic to alter her children's memories, making them think they lived in the palace as servants and not as monarchs.

### Personality

Hansel describes Dwayne as the toughest member of the Pup Family. Dwayne is hardworking, determined and takes joy in his work. Similar to Hansel, whenever someone needs help, innocent civilians rely on Dwayne for his help. Both his family and royal subjects depend on Dwayne because of his super strength. Dwayne appreciates the praise and kindness from the citizens when he helps them with a task. While Dwayne's ability isn't as appreciated as Hansel's, Dwayne is grateful for his power and promised himself that he would never take it for granted. While appearing menacing and scary, Dwayne is shown to be an introvert. Like his cousins, Artie and Timmy, Dwayne does not enjoy being the center of attention and rather be in the background. Despite this, Dwayne is sociable and doesn't just get along with the entire family but with everyone in town.

While Charles is distant with Hansel in the first film (up until the climax), Dwayne plays the role of a supportive brother figure for Hansel. Along with Sierra, Dwayne uses his power to help those in need and for fun on special occasions. Dwayne always encourages Hansel to follow his dreams and never loses his patience with him. Being an introvert, Dwayne forms steady and healthy relationships with his family members, preferably the younger members. Next to Sierra and Marley, Dwayne served as a conscience for Charles when he would enforce strict rules to Hansel. In the beginning, Hansel never understood why Charles was distant with him but Dwayne explained to Hansel that Charles took the changes in their lives differently than the rest of the family. Dwayne simply suggested that Hansel gave Charles space as he needed time to cope with his childhood trauma. This shows the wisdom and experience Dwayne gained from his parents by being the first born child until the arrival of his younger siblings.

While not stated in the film, Dwayne has gone through a lifetime of anxiety. He has lived with the insecurity of being judged simply by his size and appearance rather than the person he is. Dwayne's reasons for doing chores for the EverRealmians is to gain their respect, appreciation, trust and most of all, love. Even though, Dwayne receives praise from the EverRealmians, he feels that isn't enough and wants more from the EverRealmians. At some point in his life, Dwayne realized that he doesn't need love from complete strangers, he needs the love and acceptance from his family as they're the people who love Dwayne for who he is.

### Physical appearance

Dwayne is a tall, slender and muscular were-dog with brown fur. He has blue eyes. As part of the EverRealmian culture, Dwayne wore a white shirt with a grey coat and brown leather pants. To symbolize his super strength, Dwayne wears chains around his wrists which tells the tale of how a werewolf freed itself from chains by using his strength.

### Powers and abilities

Dwayne was given the ability of Supernatural Strength. He is capable of lifting heavy or large items like boulders, barrels of fruit or a pile of bricks with ease. After the birth of his younger siblings and cousins, Dwayne was declared the most powerful grandchild of the Pup family as his strength can overpower enemies. Since his blessing, Dwayne's strength has been used to do hours of manual labor such as carrying luggage, construction, mechanics and training people at the city's gyms. Dwayne's strength allows him to carry humans, animals, aliens and even gods. For instance, he lifted Zeus completely off the floor through his finger. He even carried a cursed and dying Jordan up a mountain. Unlike many of the Pups who struggle to suppress and control their abilities, Dwayne has little to no problem with keeping his power in check.

Dwayne's strength also granted durability. He can withstand extremely powerful attacks that would be fatal to an EverRealmian. However, this doesn't make him indestructible as he still can be hurt by certain attacks and dark spells that can weaken him.

## Appearances

### The Enchanted Pup

Dwayne is seen in the Snowi Palace enjoying his breakfast along with Marley and his siblings. Shortly after breakfast, while Hansel and Buzzy are playing a game of ball, he discovers a squirrel who apparently represents the element air and it flies back to EverRealm by transforming into a twister. Fascinated by this, he tells his siblings about this. While Sierra and Dwayne are intrigued by the story, Charles brushes this off as nonsense and orders his brother to never go to EverRealm, calling it a dangerous place for people with magic. Unbeknownst to the Pup children, Marley takes Hansel to EverRealm with his spaceship to find the squirrel who symbolically sent him a message. He also orders his servants to keep his whereabouts a secret.

Hours later, Dwayne, Sierra and Charles worry about Hansel's prolonged absence and use a machine to locate Hansel's current location and it tracks him to EverRealm. Believing that Hansel is in danger, they take a spaceship to EverRealm. Once they arrive, they spot Hansel over at the Windy Holm. Charles scolds Hansel for disobeying his orders and attempts to take him back home to Snowi but Hansel told Charles that he needs to meet up with the squirrel who is known as the Wind Spirit and a secret admirer who claims to have met up in the past. Dwayne and Sierra convince Charles to give Hansel, a chance which he reluctantly does. Hansel's secret admirer lives in the kingdom of Elkwood which is located through Pawpaw Forest. While traveling through the forest, they run into the Twin Paw, a clan of aliens that were restricted to the forest after Wolfgang became king. They don't allow outsiders in the forest but Hansel insists that they would let him pass, claiming that he's connected to the elemental spirits of the universe. Suddenly, the fire spirit attacks the Twin Paw's houses. Hansel freezes the fires but the Twin Paw is made at him because they believe that he called the spirits over to destroy their houses. Jordan kicks Hansel and his family out of the forest and threatens to kill them if they come back.

With there being no chance of getting through the forest, Adam contacts his father's bodyguard, Kirby to get Hansel through the forest and to Elkwood without being seen by the Twin Paw. While Adam got Kirby, Dwayne and the others got Hansel ready for his date. Later that night, Hansel was ready for his date with his secret admirer. Dwayne and the others wished him luck as he departed from the cave. Hours later, Hansel returned from his date who was Queen Amber of Elkwood. Hansel told the gang that his date with Amber was wonderful. The gang then went to sleep for the night.

The next morning, Hansel received a letter from a sparrow from the Twin Paw that invites him to a battle in the forest, in a few days. Unbeknownst to the gang, Wolfgang ordered Jordan to battle and kill Hansel, so his plans and reign will be secured. Kirby offered to help train Hansel for the fight and he did. A few days later, Hansel was successfully trained for the fight. In Pawpaw Forest, Dwayne and the others sat in top row of the stands and rooted for Hansel. Hansel proved to be a skilled fighter as he battled Jordan. However, during the fight, Jordan lunged at Hansel but ends falling off the waterfall to his death. Fortunately, Hansel saves his life with help from the water spirit. Jordan and the Twin Paw then realize that they were wrong about Hansel and cheers for him as the hero of the forest. Dwayne and the others carries Hansel back to the cave in triumphant. In the cave while celebrating Hansel's victory, a vicious monster known as the Smogtaur attacks the gang and chases them out of the cave, through the forest and to Elkwood where the gang decides to lay low.

The Smogtaur manages to find the gang and chases them into a small kingdom known as Lakeville, ruled by King Buttons, the ruler of the Honeybears, he initially doesn't allow Hansel and his family into the kingdom until he learns that he saved Buzzy, a former member of the Honeybears. Touched by Hansel's kindness, he welcomes them into his kingdom and into his castle. Meanwhile, while the gang were settling in, Wolfgang used his magic to put the Rhino Guards under an evil spell to attack and kill Amber and Hansel. Fortunately, Hansel and Amber's son, Yukon saves Amber from the Rhino Guards and defeats them for now. They escape the kingdom and follows the Earth spirit's trail to their residence. The gang then finds a sign and then takes that path. However, once they got to the top of the mountain, there was nothing up there. An angry Charles berates Hansel for running a wild goose chase. Hansel and Charles get into another argument with Hansel wishing that Charles would listen and then Charles disowning Hansel as his brother. Dwayne is shocked and disappointed at what Charles said. Before Hansel could say anything else, Wolfgang, the royal guards and the Smogtaur attacks the gang and reveals that he created that fake sign. Wolfgang puts magic-proof cuffs on Hansel's hands to keep him from using his magic, sedates him and throws him off a cliff, much to the gang's horror. Afterwards, Dwayne and the others are taken back to the palace to be imprisoned for their crimes.

Unbeknownst to Dwayne and the others, Hansel survived the fall and has made to the Elementals' residence, the Gold Volcano with Buzzy, Bradley. Inside the volcano, Rocky reveals to Hansel that Wolfgang was the one who murdered the royal family in order to gain power over the kingdom. He also learns that Wolfgang is his paternal uncle and that he's related to the Oceanmane family. Now knowing the truth, Hansel convinces the Elementals to help him defeat Wolfgang restore magic to the kingdom. In the dungeon, Dwayne and the gang mourn the apparent loss of their beloved family member. Fortunately, Hansel infiltrates the palace and frees his family from the dungeon cell and reveals the truth to the gang. Dwayne happily embraces Hansel once he is freed from the dungeon cell. By exploring Wolfgang's room, they learn that Wolfgang plans to overthrow the Greek Gods of Mount Olympus and rule the universe as an all-powerful god. By using Marley's spaceship, they fly to Mount Olympus where they discover that Wolfgang has unleashed an army of living natural disasters has taken the Gods as hostages. Hansel saves Zeus and Dr. Stone restores the Gods' superhuman powers. Hansel and Cerberus manage to defeat Thawe, Ozone and Lavar by using their magic and Bradley uses his superhuman abilities to defeat Valanche. The Smogtaur is about to attack the gang but fortunately, Hansel tames the beast by using his ice magic. An enraged Wolfgang attacks Hansel for ruining his plans.

During the battle, Hansel uses the Olympian Staff to strip Wolfgang of his godly power, resulting in his death. Zeus uses his magic to revive Jordan and helps Hansel locate his parents who have been relocated to the Great Bay State. Dwayne and the Pup Children reunite with their parents and return to EverRealm to assume their roles as EverRealm's beloved monarchs. As for Dwayne, he becomes the new general of the Deer Guard after Kirby marries Sierra and became a monarch.
