The Rogelu Brothers (ルーガルーブラザーズ, Rūgarū Burazāzu), Garu and Ruga, are two vegetarian werewolves who used to steal the vegetables grown in Jack's garden.
Appearance[]
Both wolves are bipedal, with their feet resembling the paws of bears, and each foot has three claws protruding from it. Their hands, however, resemble those of humans, having five fingers, one of which being an opposable thumb, per hand, with claws acting as the distal and middle phalanxes. Large patches of fur are thick on certain areas of their bodies, though where differs between the anime and manga. They don spaulders on their shoulders with tiny skull pins attached on the fronts. They both bear sharp teeth, suggesting that they were originally carnivores that switched to vegetarian diet.
They also both have multicolored fur, Garu's fur having several shades of red and Ruga's fur having several shades of blue.
Personality[]
Etymology[]
Their surname and given names are a play on the French term "loup-garou" which means werewolf. The brothers are most likely based on a Quebec folktale with historical accounts dating back to the 18th century.
History[]
Five years after the end of the first war, the Rogelu Brothers took advantage of Jake's absence and began visiting the farm regularly to devour most of their crops. Jack would try to stop them, but every attempt failed due to his lack of courage, and the brothers would continue their pillage for a year.
One night, Jack comes out with the intent of chasing them away once and for all. The brothers taunt Jack but he holds his ground while his legs shake before charging at them with his wooden pole and plow. Garu throws a punch at Jack to push him back and continues to taunt him, but Jack gets back up to try again. The result repeats itself, and Garu says that since he needs Jack to keep growing the vegetables he won't kill him, but will kill his mother instead as a lesson. Enraged, Jack discards his farming tools and activates his Weapon ÄRM, Battle Shovel. He swings it horizontally and breaks off some of Garu's front teeth. Garu snaps and decides to kill both Jack and his mother, throwing many punches at him but Jack defends himself with his Battle Shovel. Garu manages to land an uppercut punch and send Jack flying.
Ruga walks over and reminds his brother not to kill Jack, before tossing in another vegetable into his mouth. However, Ruga's teeth break upon biting down, revealing that Babbo had been in the field the entire time disguised as one of the vegetables. Babbo angrily lunges forward into Ruga's gut, and compliments Jack on his manly bravery. Ginta yells out to announce his presence on the rooftop of the house, before slipping and falling off. Ginta tells Jack that he and Babbo had planned to assist since sundown, and reasoned that if there's two werewolves then there should be two of them as well to make it even. Ruga gets up and Ginta demands that they apologize to Jack and permanently leave. The brothers refuse, prompting Ginta to take them on. Ginta throws Babbo at Ruga and pushes him back once more, before swinging Babbo's enlarged hammer down on Garu. Jack watches in awe as Garu frustratingly swings his claws repeatedly at Ginta, who dodges each swipe with ease. Ginta declares that the two brothers are the real cowards, before dealing one last blow to Garu. Ruga attempts to make a surprise attack on Ginta, but is hit in the face by Jack's Battle Shovel, knocking him out as well. Jack realizes that his legs were no longer shaking from fear, and gained confidence in acknowledgement that he (with Ginta and Babbo) defeated the Rogelu Brothers. Babbo then proceeds to knock out their remaining fangs and claws and chases them away from the farm.
Second Great MÄR Heaven War[]
The Rogelu Brothers later made amends with Jack's mother. They help her each day with the farming and earned their food (vegetables).
In-Game Stats[]
MÄR Heaven: KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR[]
The Rogelu brothers serve as bosses in the game, however, unlike their anime/manga counterparts, they are able to use ÄRMs. Both brothers are lightning attribute.
VS. Garu[]
Jack will take on Garu first. The damage from the Ring Knife is about 40 per hit. Jack's health is 98, so three hits will definitely kill him. Use offensive ÄRMs such as "Earth Knife Ring" in succession to decide the fight in one go.
You can also stop his movement with "Earth Force" and continue attacking with ÄRMs and normal attacks.

VS. Ruga[]
Ginta will take on Ruga next. As with the Garu fight, attack all at once. Don't use "Power Stone" which increases normal attack power, but choose only offensive ÄRMs such as "Knife Stone" and "Storm Stone" to focus on damaging the enemy.
"Storm Stone" is especially recommended as it can deal continuous damage from a distance.
