Overview: Kikiron is an alien from a distant galaxy, who by incredible coincidence looks almost exactly like a giant Earth chicken.  His indestructible feathers allow him to fly through space, though he needs assistance breaking free of planetary gravity.  Kikiron's feet are incredibly strong - able to crush Kaiju skulls with ease and rend flesh from his opponents.  Kikiron stores projectiles inside his body, and can spew them individually or all at once for precision ranged assaults.

Origin: Kikiron is an alien gladiator who rose through the ranks of the fiercest Kaiju known across the galaxy.  With his incredible strength, surprising speed, and brilliant tactical mind, Kikiron became a champion warrior feared and idolized by all.  He specialized in low-gravity combat, showing unsurpassed skill at fighting within loose asteroid fields.  But at the height of his prowess, Kikiron was betrayed by a rival syndicate.  He was transported unconscious from his galaxy to our own, and now has no way to return.  None of the sentient Kaiju in our galaxy seem able to communicate with Kikiron, so he cannot even locate any proper Kaiju Battle leagues, or find a way to establish himself as a potent fighter, rather than a mindless beast.  Worst of all, Kikiron's fearsome appearance seems to only amuse his new opponents, so he is continuously denied the respect he had previously earned as a Kaiju champion.

Energy System: Kikiron ingests hard objects and stores them for later use as projectiles.  He does this be swiftly striking his beak against the ground, expertly plucking the hardest & most aerodynamic stones from the ground.

Ranged Combat: After ingestion, Kikiron can spew forth any number of small projectiles from his mouth.  This stream deals physical damage at range - and as such it can be used to several tactical advantages - tripping opponents, stunning them, pushing them back, or even simply pummeling them into unconsciousness.  Kikiron's powerful torso can initiate this ranged combat with very little warning - making his ranged attacks significantly harder to predict / avoid than the ranged abilities commanded by other Kaiju.

Grappling: Kikiron grapples with his powerful feet - which have incredible grasping strength.  Kikiron hoists opponents by leaving the ground and twisting them before slamming them back to the ground with his weight.

Melee Combat: Kikiron's beak is hard enough to shatter steel, and his feet can choke other Kaiju to death in moments.  In combat Kikiron is a whirling Dervish of sharp pain.  His wings, though not as strong as his feet, can be used to effectively batter opponents or parry attacks.  Kikiron also has a very high degree of mobility thanks to his mastery of subtle movements with his wings to gain altitude or avoid charges from other Kaiju.

Weaknesses: Kikiron cannot fly for extended periods of time, which means he must rely on projectile attacks to deal with airborne enemies.  He must take time to ingest new projectiles periodically, as he tends to burn through his supply in rapid order.  His feet cannot easily reach very high, so certain taller and/or flying monsters can limit his melee options.

Animation Guidelines: 
  • Personality: Kikiron is a haughty champion - think Johnny from the original Karate Kid.  He's incredibly well-trained, and his movements are precise - but the lack of respect he gets from opponents angers him, and you can see that expressed in the way he fights.  Kikiron's roar of victory is especially laden with a sense of one-upping everyone else.  Kikiron does NOT - IN ANY WAY - move or act like a chicken.  His incredibly prowess is supposed to clash with his silly appearance.
  • Combat Focus: Kikiron is shockingly effective at laying down melee beats.  He twists in the air with incredible speed - his clawed feet reach out to strike with precision.  He can flatten himself down to the ground mid-stirke, adding a layer of evasion to even his ordinary attacks.  He has an air-ground Charge attack, and limited air movement thanks to his wings.  He grapples with his feet - like Rodan.  When swinging his wings as strikes, he usually leads with the heavy edge, sweeping them around like a heavy cloak.
  • Special Considerations: We will need to take special care to make certain that Kikiron's legs are long enough - we may need to "cheat" their length inside his thighs.  We should plan to use cloth tech to build his crown and cheeks.
