Ruff Trigger: The Vanocore Conspiracy

The player takes on the role of Ruff Trigger (voiced by David Gasman), an anthropomorphic canine bounty hunter sent to rescue tiny creatures known as "piglots" who crashed on a foreign planet. Later, it is revealed that the piglots were created to infiltrate peoples' homes under the guise of being pets before transforming and attacking them.^[2]

The player can use different weapons to battle enemies, which are unlocked throughout the game. A key mechanic involves rescuing and transporting piglots, which unlocks minigames.^[3]

In the second level, Ruff becomes a werewolf after ingesting a substance that was used to transform the piglots. In this form, he has increased speed and strength, but cannot use weapons.^[2][4]

Ruff Trigger has several bosses, namely Armageddon, the scientist who created the piglots. Some bosses cannot be damaged normally and must be defeated using piglots.^[5]
