Moguranmaru
CharacterMoguranmaru was a colossal mole and the personal summon of Muyami. Kitted out with sunglasses, a scarf, and a Kusagakure pouch, the burrowing beast could tunnel at speed, though it met its end during the Chunin Exams.
Appearance
Brown fur covered this oversized mole, whose tail bristled with spikes and whose long, pale claws suited a life spent underground. Its outfit was as odd as it was memorable: sunglasses, blue underwear, and a green scarf wound at the neck, from which hung an orange pouch marked with Kusagakure's emblem and roomy enough to ferry people inside.
Personality
Quiet by nature, Moguranmaru rarely made a sound. Muyami went so far as to call the creature a clean-freak.

Abilities
The mole's spiked tail doubled as a drill, boring passages through the earth, while its claws let it dig and race beneath the surface with ease. Its hide was so clean and responsive that it could feel insects clinging to it. Muyami called on Moguranmaru during the Chunin Exams, first to slip away from Team Kurenai after his squad made off with their scroll, and again to fight that same team. The rematch proved fatal, as Shino's swarm of kikaichu overran and killed the beast.
