King Bucko Bigbones was a mountain hare and self appointed King. He ruled over a court in the North-East part of Mossflower. Bucko was very bigheaded as he boasted a lot; he was taller than most hares and strongly built. He issued a challenge to any passing creature, to challenge him for his crown in three events: Bragging, Feasting, and Fighting.
The one to beat him was Dorothea Duckfontein Dillworthy, future General for the Long Patrol. Bucko then joined Dorothea and Lord Brocktree on the quest to liberate Salamandastron from Ungatt Trunn. As it turned out, Bucko had a score to settle with Trunn's Captain-in-Chief Karangool, who reportedly beat him with the flat of his sword when he lived in the mountains and left numerous scars, not to mention driving the march hares out of their homes. During the fight to win back Salamandastron, he swam towards a fleeing vermin ship and apparently slew Karangool, who was pushed off the ship by Ripfang. After the mountain was retaken, Bucko returned to his home, along with his mountain hares. He and Lord Brocktree figured out that Bucko could create a northern unit of the Long Patrol.
