Petruk is a character in traditional Javanese puppetry, or wayang. He is one of the four Punokawan, together with Semar (the leader/father figure), Bagong, and Gareng; Petruk acts as the middle child. They are portrayed living together as a harmonious family. . Punokawan are not present in the original Indian versions of the Mahabharata, they are thought to have been an original Javanese creation. He was originally a noble raksasa known as Bambang Pecruk Panyukilan. He was humorous yet quick to fight, enjoyed joking but a furious warrior. . The name Petruk may derive from the Arabic Fat-ruk, the first word in the Sufi creed fat-ruk kulla maa siwallahi ("leave all but Allah"). . The Punokawan, often provide comic relief in the stories they are in, but also serve to speak to the audience and convey ideas of the dalang (puppeteer), including social criticism. .
