Terry Bogard originates in the development of Capcom's fighting game Street Fighter (1987), for which developers Hiroshi Matsumoto and Takashi Nishiyama created a concept for a Caucasian man wearing a leather jacket; the concept was not used in Street Fighter, as they decided to make the main playable character a dougi-clad karateka name Ryu instead. They still wanted to use this concept in a game; after their move to SNK, they implemented him in Fatal Fury: King of Fighters (1991) as a playable character.{{cite book|publisher=Udon|title=SF25: The Art of Street Fighter|year=2014|isbn=978-1927925195}} His inclusion in Street Fighter 6 was done since Nishiyama had created the first Street Fighter during his time at Capcom and believed adding him alongside Mai Shiranui would fit in the game. However, all of Terry's special moves were created by Capcom designers. Terry and Street Fighter character Ken Masters have had past dialogue between them, so they were very conscious of their relationship when they created them.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.famitsu.com/article/202406/7728|title=『スト6』ベガ、テリー、不知火舞、エレナが登場するYear2インタビュー。ベガは肉体も中身も正真正銘のベガ本人。エレナのヒーリングについては中山D「安心してください」|magazine=Famitsu|access-date=September 5, 2024}}

One of the earliest thoughts about Terry's personality was that he is a calm man despite seeking revenge. In the making of the series, Terry and his brother Andy were characterized as the heroic leads, contrasting with the comical Joe Higashi. For the release of the Fatal Fury 3 game, Terry was quickly added because of his popularity with fans. When it came to his moves, SNK had different ideas and altered the special moves he could perform.{{cite web|author=blackoak|url=http://shmuplations.com/fatalfury3/|title=Fatal Fury 3 – 1995 Developer Interview|publisher=Shmuplations|access-date=September 30, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191001014227/http://shmuplations.com/fatalfury3/|archive-date=October 1, 2019|url-status=live}} While Terry has an easygoing personality, he is fueled with the thirst of revenge with killing Geese Howard in most games. However, in Real Bout Fatal Fury, revenge is not necessarily Terry's absolute goal, as is clear from the fact that he instinctively reaches out to Geese, who is supposed to be Jeff's enemy.{{cite web|url=https://note.com/ureshino_te/n/n55aa8ab1bf3e|title=【SNK 】解釈違い【KOF】|website=Note|author=Ureshino, Akihiko|date=March 25, 2023 |access-date=September 12, 2024}} Real Bout Fatal Fury, was made to end the conflict between Terry and his nemesis, Geese Howard. Ureshino believes Terry had no intention of killing Geese and getting revenge, and at most he just wanted to defeat Geese and make Jeff apologize after he died. Ureshino thinks Terry's feelings were expressed when he instinctively reached out his hand to Geese as he was falling off the building. However, Geese refused even that, and selfishly ended his life, abandoning the future of Billy Kane and the connections he had built up.{{cite web|url=https://note.com/ureshino_te/n/n1214d0fbc63a|title=【SNK】帝王の死【餓狼】|website=Note|date=June 11, 2023 |access-date=August 29, 2024}}

Although Terry and fellow fighter Blue Mary get along, SNK writer Akihiko Ureshino does not see the two as a romantic couple but instead as a friendly relationship comparable to Robert Garcia and Yuri Sakazaki from Art of Fighting or Athena Asamiya and Sie Kensou from Psycho Soldier because Blue Mary is in doubts about her late boyfriend killed by Geese. However, Ureshino has shown a desire to promote Terry and Mary's relationship in Fatal Fury or The King of Fighters.{{cite web|url=https://note.com/ureshino_te/n/nf6b05c04f317|title=【SNK】テリマリはべり【餓狼】|date=February 5, 2024 |language=Japanese|access-date=September 9, 2024}} Terry has been popular with the SNK staff to the point multiple individuals worked on his character's movesets during location tests of Real Bout Fatal Fury 2.{{cite web |url=https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2017/03/27/the-untold-stories-behind-the-games-of-ps4s-fatal-fury-battle-archives-vol-2-out-tomorrow-on-ps4/ |title=The untold stories behind the games of Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Vol.2, out tomorrow on PS4 |date=March 27, 2017 |publisher=PlayStation Blog |access-date=March 28, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170327175936/https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2017/03/27/the-untold-stories-behind-the-games-of-ps4s-fatal-fury-battle-archives-vol-2-out-tomorrow-on-ps4/ |archive-date=March 27, 2017 |url-status=live }}

According to Yasuyuki Oda, the phrase The King of Fighters is commonly associated with Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami than Fatal Fury characters. As a result, the new tournament was dubbed "Maximum Mayhem King of Fighters" to give a new tension to associate Terry. Though Terry was created as the lead for all the games, his adoptive son Rock Howard was designed as the new lead character of the Fatal Fury series by Nobuyuki Kuroki in 1998. Both he and Yasuyuki Oda wondered what type of hero would succeed Terry Bogard in Garou: Mark of the Wolves.{{cite web|url=https://web.facebook.com/wasabi.tenpura/posts/1064562730263119 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/facebook/100001282079158/1064562730263119 |archive-date=2022-02-26 |url-access=limited|title=Nobuyuki Kuroki|publisher=Facebook|date=January 17, 2016|accessdate=September 9, 2017}}{{cbignore}} Rock's character and entire personality served as the main basis for the game. This led to the creation of supporting characters like B. Jenet or Terry Bogard's redesign.{{cite web|url=https://shmuplations.com/garou/|website=Shmuplations|access-date=September 15, 2024|title=Yasuyuki Oda - Planner|archive-date=July 1, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240701173427/https://shmuplations.com/garou/|url-status=live}} Terry became a famous character thanks to KOF and Fatal Fury which earned his fame in Smash. In the Smash games, he became depicted as famous and cultural figure, and he has many different jobs. Ureshino describes the Garou Terry as a childish adult who is lazy most of the time and believes that in a sequel he might be given a more mature personality. When the 35-year-old Terry appeared in KOF: Maximum Impact 2 under the name "Wild Wolf", his character story naturally followed this, and he also earned a living by giving lectures and writing essays, while at the same time showing a fatherly side, worrying about Rock's future, who has been forced to join in his wandering life. His earlier life with Rock is portrayed as similar to the Sakazaki family from Art of Fighting as they are comically worried about their money and fighting style at the same time.{{cite web|url=https://note.com/ureshino_te/n/n8c4eac9d36dc|title=【SNK】テリニキ【餓狼】|date=March 15, 2022 |language=Japanese|access-date=September 9, 2024}}

The King of Fighters game was created with the idea of having Terry fighting against Ryo Sakazaki, the lead character from the Art of Fighting series.{{cite magazine|title=Previews: The King of Fighters XII|magazine=Game Informer |page=14 |date=April 2009 |issn=1067-6392|publisher=GameStop Corporation |issue=192}} The King of Fighters protagonist Kyo Kusanagi was also created with this in mind.{{cite web| url=http://kofaniv.snkplaymore.co.jp/english/character/index.php?num=kyo| title=Kyo Kusanagi Official Profile| publisher=King of Fighters 10th Anniversary Official Website| access-date=March 24, 2008| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080410025630/http://kofaniv.snkplaymore.co.jp/english/character/index.php?num=kyo| archive-date=April 10, 2008| url-status=live| df=mdy-all}} Though Terry does not have a major role in the Maximum Impact series other than revenge with Billy Kane over Geese's death in Real Bout, game designer Falcoon created the new lead Alba Meira to be Terry's KOF counterpart.{{cite web|author=Falcoon |url=http://www.snkplaymore.jp/blog/falcoon/archives/2006/02/ |title=February 2006 Entries |work=Falcoon Blog - KOF Maximum Impact 2 Develo-Diary |accessdate=February 21, 2008 |language=Japanese}} SNK said that Terry's great popularity among players made him one of the most used characters for every installment of the series.{{cite journal|journal=Retro Gamer|issue=187|page=26|publisher= Various|year=2018|asin=B07MGHY9GZ|title=40 Years of SNK}} For The King of Fighters XV, when the staff was finishing Team Hero, creative director Eisuke Ogura wanted to use Terry because he is a disciple of Tung, just like newcomers Meitenkun and Shun’ei. He thought he would be in the best position to watch over them. However, in the end we chose Benimaru Nikaido as a proposal from fellow busy character Kyo Kusanagi, as Benimaru is just good enough to take care of others whereas Kyo was requested by fellow fighter Chizuru Kagura join her team. In the end, Ogura was glad with this decision.{{cite web|url=https://gamingsym.in/interview-with-eisuke-ogura-for-the-release-of-the-fighting-game/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220308163549/https://gamingsym.in/interview-with-eisuke-ogura-for-the-release-of-the-fighting-game/|archive-date=March 8, 2022|access-date=September 6, 2024|title=Interview with Eisuke Ogura for the release of the fighting game|work=Gamingsym |date=February 28, 2022}}

Terry was designed to fit an American hero, sharing blond hair and represent the country's flag through his clothing which includes red, blue and white, making him easy to recognize. This also includes references to superheroes often seen in Japanese series like mecha protagonists and echo a rise of popularity. The SNK staff described his original design as "the most macho, stand-out, original Terry". Youchiro Soeda was in charge of the animation of most of the characters in the first Fatal Fury.{{cite tweet |last=Soeda|first=Youchiro|user=SOESOE_329|number=1169583321812066304 |date=September 5, 2019 |title=テリー・ボガートのスマブラ参戦で、餓狼伝説が話題になっていて嬉しいです 餓狼伝説1は、私がゲーム開発に関わった初めての作品だったりします|language=Japanese|access-date=November 3, 2019}} His original appearance was made with the intention that he did not look like a martial artist, contrasting the looks of his brother Andy.{{cite web|url=https://in.ign.com/the-king-of-fighters-xv/161242/feature/the-history-and-enduring-legacy-of-terry-bogard|title=The History and Enduring Legacy of Terry Bogard|website=IGN|date=June 23, 2021 |access-date=September 22, 2024}} His appearance evolves across Fatal Fury; there were two rejected sketches. One involved a design with cowboy boots, a tattoo, and a pendant he had received from an unidentified woman.

In XII, his classic outfit was used to remain true to his origins, while color editing was made in order to make him look like Pokemon character Ash Ketchum as a gag.{{cite web|url=https://game.snk-corp.co.jp/official/kof-xiii/blog/archives/2012/02/post_59.html|title=コンテスト結果発表①|work=SNK|access-date=September 15, 2024}} For The King of Fighters XIV, the artists found Terry's new appearance challenging to the point it was remade four times along with changes by his motion actor.{{Cite book | year= 2016 | title=The King of Fighters XIV artbook| page=33 | publisher=Atlus}} Yusuke Amano was the character designer for Terry in this title which he enjoyed due to his personal experience with Terry ever since he played as him in his childhood.{{cite web|url=https://www.arcadeattack.co.uk/yusuke-amano-snk/|work=Arcade Attack|access-date=August 10, 2020|title=Yusuke Amano (SNK) – Interview|date=March 13, 2020|archive-date=November 8, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108055910/https://www.arcadeattack.co.uk/yusuke-amano-snk/|url-status=live}} With Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters eventually moving from 2D visuals to 3D, the staff was careful to keep his original image intact for gameplay and visual needs.

In Mark of the Wolves, Terry was redesigned with a "cool" look by the SNK staff because they thought his previous appearance had become outdated.{{cite web|url=http://www.siliconera.com/2018/07/30/snk-developers-talk-about-how-some-of-the-classic-arcade-games-were-made/|title=SNK Developers Talk About How Some Of The Classic Arcade Games Were Made|publisher=Siliconera|access-date=July 30, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180731062217/http://www.siliconera.com/2018/07/30/snk-developers-talk-about-how-some-of-the-classic-arcade-games-were-made/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter|archive-date=July 31, 2018|url-status=live}} Yasuyuki Oda was in charge of this version of Terry with respect to the game design. Regardless of major changes to Terry's most unique traits, SNK wanted to keep the original stars drawn in the back of his jacket. Another reason for the change of clothing was to symbolize Terry's more peaceful personality now displayed in Mark of the Wolves.{{cite journal|journal=Retro Gamer|issue=187|page=11|publisher= Various|year=2018|asin=B07MGHY9GZ|title=40 Years of SNK}} The King of Fighters 2003 and The King of Fighters XI feature the "Mark of the Wolves" design.{{cite web|url=http://kofaniv.snkplaymore.co.jp/english/history/history.php?num=kof2003|title=King of Fighters 2003|publisher=The King of Fighter 10th anniversary website|access-date=January 24, 2009|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090303231947/http://kofaniv.snkplaymore.co.jp/english/history/history.php?num=kof2003|archive-date=March 3, 2009}}{{cite web|url=http://kofaniv.snkplaymore.co.jp/history/history.php?num=kofxi|title=King of Fighters XI|publisher=The King of Fighter 10th anniversary website|access-date=January 24, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081218130004/http://kofaniv.snkplaymore.co.jp/history/kofxi_story/index.php?num=garou|archive-date=December 18, 2008|url-status=live}} In Maximum Impact and Maximum Impact 2 Terry wears both recurring outfits which bothered Ureshino. This is mostly due to the age difference Terry and Rock has as Terry is 24 years old in Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters but 35 in Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Meanwhile, Rock is only 17 Garou: Mark of the Wolves, making the time gap in Maximum Impact not fitting. As a result, even if Rock stands next to him, they look more like brothers than stepfather in KOF. That is why Ureshino feel uncomfortable when the two of them talk in demo scenes and the like. As a result, SNK solved this discomfort by setting Maximum Impact in an alternate timeline where Geese Howard is already dead, making it nearly the Garou: Mark of the Wolves timeline.{{cite web|url=https://note.com/ureshino_te/n/nf6b05c04f317|title=あと３日！|language=Japanese|access-date=September 9, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604132349/http://www.snkplaymore.jp/blog/ureshino/archives/2006/04/post_38.html|archive-date=June 4, 2011}} Meanwhile, XV has Terry in Fatal Fury 2 design as regular and in his Garou design as DLC.

While making SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, SNK staff noted that because Terry was one of the company's most popular characters, his inclusion in the game was necessary even if he had to be redesigned as a woman; this incarnation has feminine clothing options including a variant of his original outfit wherein the FATAL FURY logo on his cap is changed to read "FATAL CUTiE", a cheerleader outfit, and steampunk-inspired clothes. This was not the first time SNK had featured a female version of Terry in a game: in 2003's SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos, he is magically transformed by the Darkstalkers character Demitri Maximoff.{{cite web |url=https://nlab.itmedia.co.jp/nl/articles/1808/03/news089.html |title=「テリー・ボガード」が女体化！？ 「SNKヒロインズ」に参戦決定 |language=ja |date=2018-08-03 |website=IT Media |access-date=2020-10-02 |archive-date=2020-07-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200723113127/https://nlab.itmedia.co.jp/nl/articles/1808/03/news089.html |url-status=live }}

Starting with Fatal Fury: The King of Fighters until Neo Geo Heroes: Ultimate Shooting Terry was voiced by Satoshi Hashimoto who also voiced fellow playable character Kim Kaphwan. When he was replaced, Hashimoto said he was happy that his roles were widely recognized by fans and that he highly enjoyed Terry's character.{{cite tweet |last=Hashimoto|first=Satoshi |author-link=Satoshi Hashimoto|user=3104shHoney|number=976404309033103362 |date=March 21, 2018 |title=テリー・ボガード、キム・カッファン、ファイヤーコンボイ… 沢山のキャラをやったわけではないが、沢山の人が自分の声を覚えていてくれて思い入れを持ってくれてる事に驚き感動した。今もテリーは宝物です。 パッワァ～・ケイッザーー！|language=Japanese|access-date=October 13, 2019}} Takashi Kondō replaced Hashimoto for The King of Fighters XIV onward and was very aware of his character's popularity.{{cite tweet |last=Kondō|first=Takashi|author-link=Takashi Kondō|user=vivo_tktk|number=1016337481631858689 |date=July 9, 2018 |title=おめでとう、テリー！|language=Japanese|access-date=October 13, 2019}} Kondo first met the character through his childhood when playing the video games that feature him.

For the three animated adaptations of Fatal Fury, the character's role was left to Kazuyoshi Nishikori. In the English dubs of the three works, Terry is voiced by Mark Hildreth.

Early in SNK Heroines development, the female Terry was meant to still have a masculine voice, but the decision was reversed following disapproval from the game's sound designers. Despite fears over the voice actresses' deliveries, in the end SNK felt Terry managed to fit in with the cast.{{cite web|url=http://www.siliconera.com/2018/09/07/snk-heroines-tag-team-frenzy-devs-on-making-the-female-terry-fatal-cutie-bogard/|title=SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy Devs On Making The Female Terry "Fatal Cutie" Bogard|date=September 7, 2018|publisher=Siliconera|access-date=September 7, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180908015806/http://www.siliconera.com/2018/09/07/snk-heroines-tag-team-frenzy-devs-on-making-the-female-terry-fatal-cutie-bogard/|archive-date=September 8, 2018|url-status=live}} Amano believed that SNK was able to explore a more humanistic take on the character through SNK Heroines.

Terry's fighting style was designed by SNK to make him look cool. It was simply called "Street Fighting" in reference to how Terry improvises his moves and often gives them similar names. For the release of Fatal Fury 3 Terry's air move {{nihongo|Rising Tackle|ライジングタックル}} was removed in exchange for the {{nihongo|Power Dunk|パワーダンク}}. The Power Dunk was better for the team even though it closely resembled the Rising Tackle and balance the Power Rave. Another of Terry's most iconic early moves is called the {{nihongo|Power Wave|パワーウェイブ}}, where he generates a massive geyser of energy by punching the ground. Designer Nobuyuki Kuroki said there were several rejected versions of this move, but one of them was used in a later Fatal Fury game, Real Bout Fatal Fury Special.{{cite tweet |author=Nobuyuki Kuroki|user=NobuyukiKuroki|number=974056438493364226 |date=March 14, 2018 |title=Happy Birthday Terry!

It eventually became his stronger Desperation Move in Fatal Fury 2 under the name of {{nihongo|Power Geyser|パワーゲイザー}}, while in The King of Fighters '95 he obtained the simpler "Power Dunk" to make him more mobile should the Power Geyser failed. In Garou, Terry has a new move called the {{nihongo|Buster Wolf|バスターウルフ}}. Oda said its original name was actually "God Geyser Twin", but he did not find it fitting for the Showa period when the move was added. In 2019, Oda noted that one of Terry's most popular techniques is the Buster Wolf.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/snk_oda/status/1169950666028023809|title=テリーのスマブラ発表後ちょっぴりbuster wolfが話題になってるようなので、初期案の設定を貼っときます。バスターウルフもそうですが元の名前も昭和臭がすごくて若気の至りです。#garou #mow #kof #terry|publisher=Twitter|access-date=September 7, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190907073842/https://twitter.com/snk_oda/status/1169950666028023809|archive-date=September 7, 2019|url-status=live}} Before performing the Buster Wolf, Terry says in English "Are you Okay?" as reference to the staff's reaction to Jurassic Park: The Ride. The design required a certain amount of ruggedness, but Oda was careful to keep him from looking too old-fashioned. Regarding his moves, Oda put together his kit with the intention of producing the "ultimate version of Terry". For this game, the intent was to make 35-year-old Terry feel a little more subdued, so he paid attention to those areas. but, he still somersaults when he jumps, and goes into a full sprint when he dashes, so he hasn't really lost a step. He hopes Terry maintains his good health for more games.

When The King of Fighters was announced, Terry was quickly added into the franchise by the SNK staff, who noted "his popularity skyrocketed!" His development was overseen by many designers who "fretted over various aspects of his character". In retrospect the SNK staff noted he "became the powerhouse, getting a super punch cancel move added to his arsenal and becoming the fearsome character he is today".{{cite web|url=http://kofaniv.snkplaymore.co.jp/english/character/index.php?num=terry|title=Terry Bogard|publisher=The King of Fighter 10th anniversary website|access-date=March 23, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160410014712/http://kofaniv.snkplaymore.co.jp/english/character/index.php?num=terry|archive-date=April 10, 2016|url-status=live}} The ability to cancel the second hit of his standing punch move was added by one of the game's designers two hours before submitting the game's mask ROM.

Game designer Masahiro Sakurai said he wanted to show the original appeal of Terry in Super Smash Bros. when including him in the game. Sakurai preferred using his Fatal Fury 2 design in Smash as he believes it is one of the most recognizable ones, most notably in the 1990s. In doing so, Terry was made to automatically look at his opponents in one-on-one fights, including jumps where the character spins. He was designed to be slower than most characters. A new move known as the Somersault Kick was created for Smash although the original moves were also retained. An airbased variation of his original projectile technique, the Power Wave, was also used to balance the character. In order to accommodate his full moveset, Terry is the only character who has different side special moves depending on whether the player inputs left or right, and can use Desperation Moves if his health reaches a critical point rather than as his Final Smash, which is a completely new move melding together his different Desperation Moves.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK3VltKv3JI&t=2405s |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/yK3VltKv3JI| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|title=Super Smash Bros.

Terry Bogard is the central character in a trilogy of Japanese animated Fatal Fury films. Two of them were original video animations (OVA) while the third was a theatrical release where his character is voiced by Shōnentai lead singer Nishikiori Kazukiyo in the Japanese originals and Mark Hildreth in the English dubs. The first two OVAs, 1992{{'}}s Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf and 1993{{'}}s Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle loosely follow the storylines of their respective games, while the third theatrical film, 1994{{'}}s Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, features an original storyline. The first OVA introduces a new love interest for Terry named Lily McGuire, an orphan raised by Geese Howard. Lily is killed by Geese during the first OVA, but she appears in both sequels as a spirit who guides Terry.{{cite AV media |date = 1992 |title = Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf |type= VHS |publisher = Viz Video}}{{cite AV media |date = 1993 |title = Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle |type= VHS |publisher = Viz Video }} The theatrical film introduced a new love interest for Terry named Sulia.
