The second-in-command of the Muskrats, Trip Buckers is the best childhood friend of team captain Greg Grips. The neighborhood strongman, Buckers got the nickname 'Trip' from the penchant he has for eating the Dream Plant, a Rilean product that is normally given to birds so people can watch them fly in erratic patterns. Buckers took the job as a Muskrat blitzer to pay for more of the Dream Plant, and to raise funds to make ingesting the herb legal.

<b>[[Game 5]]</b>
It's taken a full five games before Trip Buckers was able to score any star player points. Scoring the last touchdown in a 4-0 victory, Trip seemed to be very pleased when he spiked the ball. Those down near the field could have sworn he spat out some green stuff onto the pitch.

<b>[[Game 8]]</b>
Trip Buckers has taken over the team after the early death of Captain Grips in the seventh game of the Muskrats' history. To celebrate his new captain position, Trip scored a touchdown and a casualty in a 1-1 draw against some halflings. His speed and agility are something to behold on the pitch, easily outrunning all the other humans. Trip attributes it all to the Dream Plant and decided to set up a shop in the halfling town where the match took place. Sales are expected to boom. Unfortunately, it cost the Muskrat teams some fans.
