Appearance

Shaped like a mandrill that walks on two legs, this alien wears a long-sleeved top whose two chest pockets sit above a dark band running along the collar and down each arm. The trousers and boots are cut to match. In hand he keeps a club, its tip sharpened and a face cut into the wood.

Personality

Conceited to the core, the alien casts himself as a being above others and backs the claim with an IQ he says reaches 300, a number he waves at anyone he hunts. Each victory feeds his vanity. He looks down on humanity as savage and dim, yet will adjust that judgment for anyone who surprises him, which is why he praised Momo for evading transformation as long as she did. Calling him stupid sets him off, and oddly the word monkey insults him just as much. He still owned up to being puzzled by how she slipped his opening throw. Nearly every remark he makes closes with bro, and deeper into the brawl he begins adding ook.

History

At Kami High the alien triggers Empty Space and sets down his Territory Can, intending to convert the whole student body into walking cans he can later study. Momo and Okarun alone avoid the change, so he hunts them, opening on Momo in her classroom. She dodges his first canned strike at the last second and bats away the rest with her psychic hands, telling him off for littering. On the rooftop he baits the pair into wrecking the can, and Okarun, trying to outsmart him, is flung into it and turned to a can. The device, he reveals, only transforms whoever tries to break it by touch. Momo later taunts him into fury, bragging her mind beats his, and he rains cans down on her. Bleeding as she shields herself, she reveals she steered him into knocking out the pillar bracing the rooftop can, dropping the structure and smashing his weapon. Unwilling to lose, he lunges with his staff, only for Okarun in Turbo Granny form to headbutt him out of the building.
