**Barry the Boomnade**, also known as (**the**) **Boomerang Grenade**, is the third part of the Holy Trollity of KBism and in a sense, the holy spirit of the trinity. He is both an iconic and deified figure in the League's lore, alongside his father, Matt Bradley, and his son, Lord KB (Bradders). In the physical world, he takes the form of a knitted hand grenade plushie with a sulking face on it and is the mascot of his father's YouTube/Facebook channels. His creator, Matt Bradley, is the only known individual who can talk to Barry for an extensive period of time (as far as we know), as it's believed one has to be heavily under the influence of drugs such as DMT, or have chronic schizophrenia. The followers of the Holy Trollity of KBism (also known as Boomnadeism or Barryism) are named after him, known as Boomnades. Over time, Barry was eventually adopted as the (unofficial) mascot of the LOM. In early 2022, the Discord server would have emojis of different coloured Barrys, representing everyone on the server, even including Pride Barrys, otherwise known as LGBarryTs, made by Poppy. They would also create custom miniature Barry figures for the main members of the LOM in late 2022.

He first came into being when Matt and his son, Lord KB, were playing a game together. When Matt suddenly threw a grenade, he had hoped it would hit the enemy, but instead hit the wall and bounced back towards himself. Upon noticing he messed up, Matt would shout "**OOOHHH SHITTT**" and then blew to pieces. When his son would ask him what had occurred, Matt's only response would be "**HA!** **I boomeranged**", and thus the legend of Barry the Boomerang Grenade was born. One of his most iconic moments would be when during a Boomerang Grenade video (though oddly posted on the LOMCast YouTube channel), Barry would have something important to tell Matt, sharing with him that he does not believe a certain state holds any legitimacy to be official state. Matt however would rebuke this statement of Barry's, calling him retarded.

### In D&D

Barry is also a canonical figure in the LOM's D&D continuity, the Velmaverse. In the final session of the D&D campaign, Tomb of Annihilation, Barry was sent down in the form of a meteorite to squash the balor that was destroying the city of Port Nyanzaru. However, in defeating the balor, the city was almost fully destroyed in the process. After the dust had settled, the survivors of the city, now named 'Port Nyanzaru II: Electric Zookaloo', would carve inside of the great meteor and build a great temple in the name of KBism, naming it 'St Barry's Basilica' and adopted KBism as their dominant religion, calling themselves Boomnades, in honour of Barry.
