DR. REGINALD BUSHROOT

First Appearance: Darkwing Beyond #14

Dimension: Limbo

Allegiance: Neutral

Reginald Bushroot was once a normal duck employed at St. Canard University. He worked as a Botanist alongside others, including Rhoda Dendron. While Dendron was kind to him, two others took great joy in bullying him. It also doesn’t help that the Dean wasn’t interested in his work. While in theory it could end world hunger, he can’t profit off of it if it’s successful. Despierate, Reginald decides to test the experiment on himself.

His intention was to make it so animals can use photosynthesis to sustain themselves and after doing it on himself it worked. But doing so turned him into a half plant/half duck creature. He scared Dendron and was taunted by his other peers, but in his means to escape he found out he can talk to and control plants. Using this, originally wanting to do good, he used his newfound powers to get revenge on the people who forced him down this path.

When he found out that Dr. Dendron still thinks highly of her, this began his never ending quest to find someone he can spend time with (minus that one time he made counterfeit money). Eventually, he would be successful in creating a son in the form of a seedling. He was going to happily retire until Nega Duck forced him to become part of the Fearsome Five. Seeing no choice, he sent the Seedling to Dr. Dendron with a letter of apology as he became part of Nega Duck’s group.

He still enjoyed his time there, after all he was with four others who share similar sentiments on their current situation, but with Nega Duck in charge it would likely lead to their doom. And on one fateful day, it did. The explosion that took out Darkwing destroyed every single piece of Bushroot. He was gone forever. He now resides in limbo where the fight to go to Paradise of Hades begins for him.

Fun Fact:

My favorite Part of the Ducktales Reboot Darkwing Duck episode was when both Darkwing and Launchpad said the same thing I did about Bushroot.

Art dump time again ^^ some were requests from my insta story

I was reminded of an old drawing I made of Reginald Bushroot, back in February 2021.

So I tried to look up sad songs and get some inspiration. But sometimes I forget how I do things and I've been fixing a few details. And the power outages aren't helping me much right now.

I also wanted to show how I make my drawings, the images weren't very centered now that I see them properly haha

My drawing of the year 2021

Happy Patrick's Day!

Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is celebrated on March 17 and is the Day of Ireland and Irish Culture. Anyway, here are pictures from the Duckverse of our favorite green-suited, Irish-related characters and leprechauns and four-leaf clovers. May all the luck follow you!

Happy Ireland Day everyone! Feel free to like and reblog this if you're a fan of these characters in green!

"I'll be up day-walking, back from the dead for you."

I got way too inspired when listening to this song and Bushroot didn't leave my mind.

Duckvember: Mourning Duck

You can never go back to the way things were, that chapter in your life is over. It’s okay to mourn the loss of who you used to be. But recognize that you’re still here. 

You survived.

IDK IF THIS IS HIS FINAL DESIGN BUT

Other sketch and ramble:

I'm rollin with more flytrap design aspects, like the petals on his head are mostly cream colored but fade to lavender in the center of the flower up top.

While the red n green looks fun I can't refuse the purp instead 'cause it just doesn't feel like him without it. I tried to mimic the flowers as close as possible but as u can see he cut his own bangs.
