Conch King
CharacterThe Conch King was a powerful summon called upon by Kandachi, a shelled beast that fought at its master's command. Its strength troubled even the Sannin Jiraiya before Naruto Uzumaki's Big Ball Rasengan brought both summon and summoner down.
Appearance
Despite the name, the Conch King is not a single shell but a creature built from three joined segments. Only its tail end takes the spiral shape of a conch, while the other two portions echo an oyster and a giant clam. Its design appears to draw on the sazae-oni, a shell spirit out of Japanese folklore.
Abilities
Formidable enough to give even Jiraiya real trouble, the beast acted on Kandachi's orders and could form hand seals of its own. It loosed volleys of spikes at several foes at once, lashed out with whip-like tongues to bind or slay its target, and wove a distinctive genjutsu that froze an enemy in place, a fog-prison illusion potent enough to leave a Sannin helpless. By venting air from its underside, it could also rise off the ground and hover.
History
The Conch King entered the fight alongside its summoner Kandachi, and the pair were ultimately overwhelmed when Naruto Uzumaki struck them with his Big Ball Rasengan.
