Dozer

"Holy toast, I'm gonna get eaten! Need to run away!!"

- Dozer's quote when starting the prologue.

Dozer (nicknamed KK in the game's internal files) is a Cookie that first appeared in the original OvenBreak and was introduced on November 11th, 2011 as a part of the new Prologue stage introduced in the 2.0 version of the game, marking his first and only playable appearance in the game. He is notable for being the younger brother of GingerBrave.

Appearance
Dozer is a Cookie with a medium-dark tan dough color, with two small dot eyes embedded onto his face. Dozer has a gaping red mouth and running white snot through his nostrils. He wears a light cyan nightcap with teal stars on it with a yellow pompom on its end. The same color of the nightcap being used for the two simple buttons on his chest. Dozer carries a somewhat small candy cane with two shades of green on it.

Personality
Dozer is a tiresome and lazy Cookie who is easy to frighten and upset. He appears to have a somewhat slow reaction time, as suggested by his appearance in the Story of OvenBreak. Dozer has also been described as being slower than GingerBrave as well as being similar to Wimpy from Popeye by C.S. Moon, the story director for OvenBreak.

Skill
Dozer has no special ability. Though not an ability per se, he is able to survive obstacle collisions and restart close to where the player left off, though this is due to him being in a tutorial.

Story
In the Story of OvenBreak promotional comic, Dozer is seen sleeping on a plate and awakes. He gazes around his surroundings consisting of half eaten bodies of Cookies, and thinks to himself that he is dreaming. Dozer realises the gravity of the situation, and shouts and runs off to escape the fate of being eaten. Dozer later comes across a swirly lollipop known as Whirly Burly and gazes into it, which hypnotizes him and renders him unconscious; dropping and breaking Whirly Burly in the process.

The hand of the Witch's shadow is then cast over Dozer, as she grabs him and carries him. GingerBrave witnesses the event and wishes to escape. The Witch places Dozer on a wooden plank with his arms tied to his body with rope, and pursues him with a tiny stick lit on fire, with Dozer being forced to jump into a cup of milk with the corpses of several of the Witch's past victims floating in it. This event triggers GingerBrave to make his great escape, and he bolts out of the oven. Dozer is not seen again during the story.

In the Christmas stage, Dozer can be seen in the stage background on top of a snowman's top hat.

Despite Dozer making no further appearances in the story, Dozer was going to eventually be rescued by GingerBrave and become a participant in the scrapped Cookie Olympics story.

Behind the Scenes
Dozer was created by C.S. Moon and Sem Han, with C.S. Moon creating Dozer as a character for a slower and easier tutorial, not wanting to depict GingerBrave as slow. .

Dozer's English name was chosen during a Facebook contest by Amby Godwin. This attribution is provided in the game credits of OvenBreak.
