Neighbor Bud

Neighbor Bud, simply known as Bud, is a defense character and the Tritagonist of Swamp Attack. Bud is Redneck's best friend and neighbor, living in the right side with an identical house to Redneck's.

Bud made his first appearance in "Metal Dawn", pictured in an icon after opening a gift at the ending of the level, unlocking him in the process, but this depiction isn't counted due to not being a physical appearance. He attacks by range, using a shotgun, identical to Redneck's.

Physical appearance
Bud is an adult man that appears to be shorter than Redneck, the Bear and Uncle Joe but taller than Aunt Misty and Cousin Roy. His eyes are covered by a olive green cap with a white front panel. His cap also has an orange button and visor, along with a bandage in the front panel. He wears blue overalls with a pocket in the center and yellow hair and beard. His ears and nose are orange, three of his teeth are sticking out from the lower jaw and he is always seen carrying a shotgun.

Personality
Probably, Bud's personality is similar to Redneck's, being overprotective of a rotting house and liking to be alone with peace and silence. However, Bud seems to be friendlier than Redneck, even caring for him, judging how he wants to collaborate in the house's defense. He seems to like shotguns since he always uses the weapon.

Gameplay
Bud is just like Redneck before the double shotgun was unlocked. He shoots to the monsters when they enter his attack ratio, being good at aiming with the shotgun. Bud also collaborates to kill the monsters, helping with Redneck might give the monsters critical hits (double damage). It is recommended to equip Bud, considered an useful defense in terms of range attacks. Instead of being left alone defending, Bud should also be helped in occasions since some opponents are too strong to be easily killed by him. Bud is playable in Multiplayer, being controlled by the opponent of a match, and instead of a revolver like Redneck, he uses his shotgun.
