Guhl

Guhl claims no permanent shape. When called upon, it gathers nearby water and molds a body from it, typically a rounded blob balanced atop reedy stalks that rise from a pool at its feet. Where water is plentiful, such as during a downpour, its mass can fuse with its twin into one swollen form; where water is scarce, it drifts about as small floating orbs stripped of their stalks. Its true anchor is a humble plastic bottle cap. Hō and Ban keep these caps on water bottles at Ban's right hip, and tipping out the water before dropping a cap into the puddle lets the Doll build its liquid frame around it.

Silent and without expression, Guhl still shows unwavering loyalty to its masters and will even heed the twin who does not own it. It has no reluctance about maiming or killing, and by Ban's account the pair itched to unleash their full savagery on Ichigo Kurosaki's group. That obedience has a limit, though: should one twin be knocked out cold, the Doll grows sluggish and unresponsive to the survivor's commands, sometimes freezing in place through even life-threatening danger no matter how urgently it is ordered to act.

Command over water is Guhl's whole arsenal. It bends the liquid in its bottles and any drawn from the surroundings, including rain, which strengthens it, and it can course through a building's plumbing to strike from unexpected places across a wide stretch. Since almost nothing but its crest is solid, a slash or blow only opens a gap that fresh water immediately fills, making the Doll maddening to pin down. It hurls spheres and long coiling ropes of water to scatter and pressure foes, swallows victims whole to smother or drown them, and can even force water in through a target's nose and mouth to rip them apart from within. Guhl and its counterpart normally answer to their own masters yet can pilot each other's Doll, a trait unique among the Bount. Heat is the reliable counter: fire evaporates whatever water it touches, and a large enough blaze can set the whole body back until it rebuilds.
