Sugar is a minor character in the Tekken series. She is Leroy Smith's pet dog who first appeared in Tekken 7 as part of Leroy's move set and win poses.
Background[]
Sugar is an American Bully, a pit bull-type dog. Sugar is the pet of Leroy Smith and accompanies her master during battle. Leroy can summon Sugar into combat, but the dog will only attack randomly.
Other Appearances[]
Tekken: Bloodline[]
Sugar appears at Leroy's side during his entry to the third King of Iron Fist Tournament and remains with him during and after his defeat at the hands of Jin Kazama. Although she is initially aggressive towards Jin due to his fight with her master, Leroy reassures her that his opponent is no enemy.
Trivia[]
- Sugar is the second animal to be part of a character's move set. The first is Kazumi Mishima's pet tiger.
- Notably, Sugar can interact with certain projectiles such as ground-running projectiles like Hwoarang's Biker Helmet item move or Geese Howard's Reppuu Ken. If she collides with a projectile, she will continue running, but she cannot interact with the opponent, and the enemy's attack will miss her entirely if she chooses not to attack.
- Sugar's likeness was used for the Sugar Doll item in Soulcalibur VI, which was added to the game as part of the "Creation Parts F" DLC.
- In Feng's ending in Tekken 8, Sugar is shown urinating while standing with one leg raised. This is usually associated with male dogs, but was likely used as a visual shorthand.
