Burgurgular

Burgurgular is a recurring character in the Dadish games. He first appears as the first boss in Dadish 1, and later as a temporary ally in Dadish 2.

Role in Dadish 1
Burgugurlar appears as the first boss in the game, encountered in stage 10, the final stage of Abaro Woods.

Dialogue
Dadish: Oh, hello! What’s your name?

Burgurgular: I AM BURGURGULAR, THIRD HENCHMAN TO LORD DURNAK!

Dadish: What a nice name! Hi Burgurgular, I’m Dadish! I’m actually looking for my kids, you haven’t happened to have seen any smaller radishes around here have you?

Burgurgular: YOU WILL NEVER REACH LORD DURNAK! PREPARE TO DIE!

Dadish: So, uh, is that a no?

Battle
Burgurgular simply walks back and forth within the boss arena, which has a ledge on either side. At the base of each ledge is a spike pit covered by a few radish blocks. Pushing the button on a ledge will cause the corresponding blocks to disappear, and Burgurgular will fall into the spikes when he reaches the pit, taking damage. A new button will appear on the other ledge, and Burgurgular will be defeated after touching spikes three times. Once defeated, he will release a key, and his body can be jumped on to reach it, allowing Dadish to save the nearby baby radish.

Role in Dadish 2
After defeating Hot 'N' Tasty, Dadish will encounter Burgurgular instead of the usual baby radish. He informs Dadish that he has given up on being evil thanks to therapy and a sensible bedtime, and asks for help finding his lost hat. Dadish agrees to help, hops on top of Burgurgular, and he breaks through the wall of the office.

Herbejo Meadow, Koto Swamp, and and Fantomo Temple each have a level featuring Burgurgular. In these levels, Dadish begins by jumping onto Burgurgular, who walks automatically. The player controls Burgurgular's jumps, and he can jump further than Dadish can. At the end of the level, Dadish dismounts him, and can more normally. After the Burgurgular level in Fantomo Temple, the two find Burgurgular's hat. He is happy to have it again, revealing that he had stolen it, and goes off to do more crimes, revealing that he had not actually changed his ways.

At the end of the credits, Burgurgular lands in the radish patch, and Possum appears from under his hat before he walks away.

Trivia

 * Burgurgular is the first non-Dadish character who is playable during the main story.
 * Burgurgular says he stole his hat from a rapping dog, referring to PaRappa the Rapper, who always wears a very similar hat.
 * It is implied that Possum is responsible for Burgurgular's lost hat, since it was sitting on a ledge above where the hat is found, and is seen in his hat during the credits.
