'''Bruce''' is a [[cranky]] [[deer]] [[villager]] in the {{SER}}. He first appeared in {{NL}} and has appeared in all subsequent games. He is the only cranky deer in the series. His name may be derived from "bruise," a type of injury, which may reference the "tough" nature of cranky villagers. His name could also be a reference to the original Norwegian name of the goats in [[wikipedia:Three Billy Goats Gruff|The Three Billy Goats Gruff]], Bruse. His catchphrase is also likely a reference to Three Billy Goats Gruff, "Gruff" being the name of [[Gruff|another cranky villager]].

__TOC__

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
[[File:Bruce NL.png|thumb|left|80px|Artwork of Bruce from {{NL|short}}.]]
Bruce is a blue deer with a large light blue facial marking, starting at his muzzle before forking into three stripes that reach the top of his head. He also has a light blue belly, which is mostly covered by his clothing. His antlers are smooth horns, like those seen on [[goat]] villagers, that are striped with medium and dark yellow. The insides of his ears are orange and he has dark blue hooves.

===Personality===
{{Pers|cranky}}

Bruce is a cranky villager, meaning he is mature, bitter and adult-like. He appears somewhat rude at first, but is very reliable and friendlier when befriended. He gets along well with most [[snooty]] and [[lazy]] villagers and other cranky neighbors, but will sometimes offend [[smug]] and [[peppy]] villagers unintentionally, as he does not clearly understand their lifestyle. Bruce has a harsh sense of humor, but is very hospitable and kinder once the [[player]] enters his home.
