Pillbug Devil
CharacterThe Pillbug Devil embodies the pillbug and serves Public Safety as a hunter in Tokyo Special Division 6. A minor foe in the Aging Devil arc, this armored, antenna-headed devil is torn apart by Pochita almost the instant it steps up to defend its unit.
Appearance
Built largely like a man dressed in Public Safety's standard hunter uniform, the Pillbug Devil carries a head whose upper half is pure pillbug, fronted by a pair of long, jointed antennae. Seven rigid, hinged plates sheathe the backs of its hands.
Personality
Details of its character are scarce, but it reveals a protective streak, throwing itself between its colleagues and Pochita.
History
During the Aging Devil arc, the devil is called in to guard the leader of Special Division 6 after Pochita has already torn through the Centipede Devil, the Stag Beetle Devil, and another unnamed devil. It urges its allies to take cover behind it, but the gesture proves futile: Pochita rips both it and its superior to shreds at once. Its one notable trick is a set of armored plates worn as arm guards, a defense that buckles the moment Pochita cuts through it. Otherwise it commands only the powers common to any devil.
