'''Max''', also known as the '''Droogle Leader''', is a [[Fanon:Droogle|Droogle]] created by [[User:GuyThatExists|GuyThatExists]] based on a cut enemy from a beta version of [[Drawn to Life]]. He appears in the [[:Category:Fanfiction|short stories]] ''[[Fanon:Blank Slates|Blank Slates]]'' as one of the main antagonists, ''[[Fanon:Blank Slates 3|Blank Slates 3]]'' as a secondary protagonist, and in ''[[Fanon:GenericChallenge (One-Shot)|GenericChallenge]]'',  ''[[Fanon:Self-Awareness|Self-Awareness]]'', ''[[Fanon:Salem Rose Pt. 1|Salem Rose Pt. 1]]'', and ''[[Fanon:Blank Slates 2|Blank Slates 2]]'' as a cameo.

He was the instigating member of the coup against [[Fanon:Joseph Tringali|Jospeh Tringali]], but he was defeated and sentenced to being the informational text in [[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]]. He was later attacked by [[Fanon:Salem Rose|Salem Rose]] and ran away from the [[Developer's Grove]], hiding out in the [[Forest Gate|Forest]] with [[Deadwood]] and [[Samuel]]. He would later return to The Void and help lead the Droogle Army in the fight against [[Fanon:Tombstone|Tombstone]]. He would later be forcibly evacuated back to Deadwood.

== {{Icon|Tower}} Appearance ==
The Droogle Leader is a tan, dog-like Droogle with a rectangular head. He wears silver armor on his legs and arms and a golden chestplate. He also wears a golden helmet with a red feather, and he carries a sword with him at all times.

=={{Icon|Book}} Story ==
===''[[Fanon:Blank Slates|Blank Slates]]''===
The Droogle Leader is first seen when [[Mildew]] gets sent into the [[Developer's Grove]], and he stabs [[Fanon:Alana/Stories|Alana]] with [[Fanon:Droogle Leader's Sword|his sword]] to send her back into [[Fanon:The Void|The Void]]. For some time, he and the other Droogles continue to send Alana back into the void. Later on, he, along with the rest of the Droogles, send [[Fanon:Joseph Tringali|Joe Tringali]], [[Fanon:David Franco|David Franco]], and Mildew back to the void, allowing them to gain control of the Grove. He then begins to rally the Droogles and chants in tongues in order to rotate the entire world 45 degrees.

Eventually, [[Fanon:Jinxy|Jinxy]], [[Fanon:Drakon|Drakon]], and the [[Fanon:Droogle Killer|Droogle Killer]] fall into the [[Fanon:Shadow Hole|Shadow Hole]] and arrive in the Grove, causing the Droogle Leader to call for an assault. However, as he talks with Drakon about their plan, the Droogle Killer kills Drakon, allowing Jinxy to steal the Droogle Leader's sword and send the Droogle into the void.

As he pops into the void, he and the other Droogles begin to panic until [[Fanon:Willham|Willham]] silences them and asks for their leader. When the Droogle Leader is outed by his subordinates, both Willham and [[Fanon:Shadow Mari|Shadow Mari]] grab him and fly into the Shadow Hole, closing it once and for all. Back in the Grove, Willham and Shadow Mari turn the Droogle Leader over to Joe and Franco, leaving Joe to leave him in charge of the progress checks in [[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]].

===''[[Fanon:Self-Awareness|Self-Awareness]]''===
The Droogle Leader is seen again when [[Aly]] sneaks into the Dev Grove, and he tries to help recover her memories. When he and the Joe can't help her, they send her back to the void using the Droogle Leader's Sword.

===''[[Fanon:Salem Rose Pt. 1|Salem Rose Pt. 1]]''===
The Droogle Leader is next seen arguing with Joe about a hypothetical Two Realms Village, with the Droogle Leader holding firm in his beliefs that they don't need to create a new village, as the three current villages already have enough tension between them. [[Miles]] snuck around him undetected, stabbing himself with the Droogle Leader's Sword. When the sword falls to the ground, both Joe and the Droogle Leader turn around to look at it. Joe jokingly asks if they gave the Droogles psychic powers, and the Droogle Leader denies that he moved the sword.

When [[Fanon:Salem Rose|Salem Rose]], a corrupted version of Miles, appears in the Dev Grove again, the Droogle Leader takes a break from his job in [[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]] to investigate him and his [[Fanon:Time Machine|Time Machine]]. Salem Rose holds the Droogle Leader hostage with [[Shadow]], forcing him to show Salem Rose the sword. The Droogle Leader complies, and when Salem Rose vanishes, the Droogle Leader takes his sword and runs off into the woods around the Grove.

===During ''[[Fanon:Blank Slates 2|Blank Slates 2]]''===
After hiding in the woods for a bit, the Droogle Leader thinks he hears [[Fanon:Salem Rose|Salem Rose]] returning, so he lunges at him with [[Fanon:Droogle Leader's Sword|his sword]]. However, he misses and ends up falling through the [[Wishing Well]] and landing in [[Rapoville]] in [[Fanon:GuyThatExists' Timeline#2010|2010]]. Once there, he retreated into the [[Forest Gate]], where he began living inside [[Deadwood]] for a few years. While living in the forest, he also becomes friends with [[Samuel]], and he tells the two of them his history and the history of [[Fanon:The Void|The Void]]. After hearing about The Void, they urge the Droogle Leader to return, so he stabs himself with [[Fanon:Droogle Leader's Sword|his sword]], sending him back to The Void, where he is found by [[Fanon:Mill|Mill]] outside the [[Fanon:Guardians' HQ|Guardians' HQ]].

===''[[Fanon:Blank Slates 3|Blank Slates 3]]''===
Two years later, the Droogle Leader is still hiding out from the [[Fanon:Droogle|Droogle]] army in the [[Fanon:Guardians' HQ|Guardians' HQ]], and asks [[Fanon:Violet|Violet]] for more clarification about the [[Fanon:Tree King|Tree King]]'s campaign and the [[Fanon:Shadow Village|Shadow Village]]. This agitates Violet, but they eventually give the Leader the information he wanted. During this conversation, [[Fanon:Tombstone|Tombstone]] attacks the [[Fanon:Drawn to Life Village|Drawn to Life Village]], so Violet and the Droogle Leader mobilize to fight it. The Droogle Leader also sends a message to the other [[Fanon:Four Guardians|Guardians]] and screeners telling them to help fight.

When they arrive, Violet helps defeat Tombstone, and the two of them meet up with [[Fanon:Lambert|Lambert]], who asks where the other Guardians were. The Droogle Leader watches as the other Guardians return from their meeting with [[Aly]] and asks the group why Tombstone had to be contained, asking where [[Fanon:Willham|Willham]] was. However, before they can discuss how to get Willham's attention, they watch as [[Fanon:Gingerfre (GuyThatExists)|Gingerfre]] and the [[Shadow]] army revitalize Tombstone, and the fighters retreat to the [[Fanon:Two Realms Plains|Two Realms Plains]].

Once there, the Droogle Leader reconnected with his partner in the Droogle army - the [[Fanon:Droogle Countess|Droogle Countess]]. She reveals to him that the Droogles had all thought [[Fanon:Salem Rose|Salem Rose]] had killed him. He tries to deflect what he had actually done in the meantime, and she calls him out on it, so he explains what he had done during the events of ''[[Fanon:Blank Slates 2|Blank Slates 2]]''. [[Fanon:Mill|Mill]] and the Countess both tell him that what he had done had consequences, not telling him that Deadwood was only able to send Miles to The Void due to what the Droogle Leader had told Deadwood. However, they do ask him if he was changed and wasn't planning on running away anymore. He promises that he would fix his mistakes however, and promises to help defeat Tombstone.

Later, the Droogle Leader leads the Droogle army into the fight in the Shadow Village, reintroducing himself to them. During the battle, they attacked Tombstone's legs, defeating small amounts of Shadow. After the fight was over and Tombstone had collapsed into a wave, the Droogle Leader and Droogle Countess worked with [[Fanon:Sandal|Sandal]] and [[Fanon:Abyss|Abyss]] to rescue deceased Droogles from Tombstone and absorb some of its Shadow. However, once Tombstone was reformed, the Leader and the Countess survive and sit outside the village, watching as Tombstone encases it in a bubble.

Back in the Guardians' HQ, the Droogle Leader joined a meeting with the Countess, mayors, Guardians, screeners, and leaders of other factions in The Void, all discussing how to face Tombstone. Though he didn't speak up during the meeting, he would join [[Fanon:Crawler's LARPing Group|Crawler's LARPing Group]], [[Fanon:Cecil's Militia|Cecil's Militia]], and the Shadow army in traveling to the [[Fanon:Baki Temple|Baki Temple]] to gather more items to fight Tombstone with. While there, they met with [[Fanon:Hans|Hans]] and each gained specially made [[Fanon:God Rays|God Ray Armor]]. On the way back to HQ from the Temple, the Droogle Leader, the Droogle Countess, Abyss, and [[Fanon:Sorcerer|Sorcerer]] all spoke about the Tree King escaping and joining Cecil's Militia. They then formulated a plan to stop the Tree King in case he began to attack them.

Once they arrive, they are unable to put their plan into motion before the Tree King is killed, though they do notice the Two Realms Plains getting enveloped by Tombstone, drastically lowering morale. The Leader and Countess attempt to rally their troops, but to no avail, watching many of the Droogles [[Fanon:Mantra|ascend]] into the [[Developer's Grove]]. Their ranks diminished, the Droogle Leader continued to lead the smaller Droogle army in the final fight against Tombstone, fighting its main body throughout the fight. 

During the fight, the army, using their God Ray armors and charms, continued to attack Tombstone's legs. At one point, Tombstone swung the [[Fanon:Droogle Killer|Droogle Killer]]'s skeleton towards the Droogle army, but it was stopped by [[Fanon:Apprentice|Apprentice]] and [[Fanon:SuperRapo|SuperRapo]]. Later in the fight, the Droogle Leader, along with the majority of the combatants, is captured by Tombstone, forcing [[Fanon:Temte Mapleleaf|Temte Mapleleaf]] to use her abilities to eject them all from The Void.

The Droogle Leader, alongside the Countess, Pot, and the rest of the Droogle army, are ejected into the [[Forest Gate|forests outside Rapoville]], where they come face to face with Samuel, [[Fanon:Robigo|Robigo]], and a deceased Deadwood. After seeing the deceased Deadwood, the Droogle Leader finally understands the ramifications of his prior visit to the tree, understanding that he was the reason Salem Rose was able to enter The Void in the first place, and he begins to break down.

{{Quote|text=Well, right before any of that happened, Two Realms released.

=={{Icon|Question}} Trivia==
