~~The '''Bruce''' is a [[wikipedia:Penguin~~|penguin]]-like [[Neopet]]. Named after, and originally based on, [[wikipedia:Bruce Forsyth|Bruce Forsyth]], the Bruce has been redesigned several times, first from a photograph to a caricature of ''Bruce Forsyth'', and then to a penguin-like creature, retaining only the bow tie from its first incarnation. This was timed to coincide with the introduction of [[Terror Mountain]] on November 16, 2000. Despite their appearance, Bruces are generally good at sports and love to dance, compete in winter games, and eat cold food. They originally came from the snow-covered Terror Mountain region.

~~Bruces love showing off their remarkable sense~~ of ~~balance by skating~~, dancing and ~~generally being good at sports~~. ~~Originally from~~ the ~~snowy land~~ of [[~~Terror Mountain~~]], Bruces can be ~~found all over Neopia~~, ~~even~~ in the ~~[[Lost Desert]]~~.

The '''Bruce''' (named for [[wikipedia:Bruce Forsyth|Bruce Forsyth]], see [[Bruce#Old_designs|below]]) is a species of [[wikipedia:Penguin|penguin]]-like [[Neopet]]. Native to [[Terror Mountain]], Bruces have a strong tolerance for cold weather. They are competitive Neopets that excel at dancing and [[wikipedia:winter sport|winter sport]]s like [[wikipedia:ice skating|ice skating]].

Bruce are dressed in large [[wikipedia:bow-tie|bow-tie]]s and usually have a [[wikipedia:cowlick|cowlick]] crest on the top of their heads. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of Light.

==Battledome==

In the [[Battledome]], Bruces take 20% less damage from water attacks. They also have 6 species [[abilities]]:

*''Bruce Slide'' - Attack: none; Defence: 0 - 4 x Water; available from level 1;

*''Bruce Jive'' - Attack: 2 x Light; Defence: none; available from level 1;

*''Bruce Thump'' - Attack: 2 - 3 x Air, 2 - 3 x Water; Defence: none; available from level 1;

*''Bruce Snow Shield'' - Attack: unknown; Defence: unknown; available on Bruce Day only;

*''Bruce Flap'' - Attack: 2 x Physical; Defence: none; available on Bruce Day only;

*''Bruce Blizzard'' - Attack: 2 x Water, 2 x Air; Defence: unknown; available Bruce Day only.

There are also twelve pieces of [[battledome equipment|equipment]] that can only be used by an Bruce.

==Old designs==

The Bruce originally wasn't a penguin-based Neopet, but was based on real world entertainer Bruce Forsyth. It originally appeared as a sepia photograph of him, before it was redrawn, still in his image. Concerned that this design "didn't really fit in with the theme", the Bruce was redesigned on 16 November 2000 into its penguin incarnation. This would undergo some later redraws but the design itself remains virtually unchanged today.
