Colosseum Master Kruger (Japanese: コロシアムマスター ルトガー Colosseum Master Rutger) is the ninth Colosseum leader in Pokémon Battle Revolution, and the third Colosseum Master. He is the head of Courtyard Colosseum and the Pokétopia Senior Master. His rose corsage, an item found on his suit, can be unlocked by clearing Neon Colosseum. He is the only character in the games to have the Trainer classes Master Senior (Japanese: マスターシニア Master Senior) and Survival King (Japanese: サバイバルキング Survival King).

After the player wins the Pokétopia Championship, Courtyard Colosseum wil feature a 100-Trainer challenge called Survival Battle, with Kruger appearing as the opponent every ten battles (Hence the total number of Trainers including Kruger is brought down to 91). Every time he appears the number of Pokémon each Trainer has increases by one, until each Trainer has four Pokémon.
