Appearance

Chomei takes the shape of a blue, armour-plated rhinoceros beetle. Six of its seven tails splay out like green insect wings tipped in orange, with a single true tail among them, all sprouting from the end of its abdomen. A helmet-like skull shrouds its eyes, letting only an orange glow show through, and a large horned crest rises from its back behind the head. Six armoured legs carry it, three to a side, and pincers frame a mouth full of sharp teeth. Long ago, at its creation, it existed in a wholly green larval form with seven full tails and red eyes.

Personality

Chomei carries a sunny, carefree disposition, introducing itself as Lucky Seven Chomei in a nod to its seven tails and the good fortune long tied to that number, and it scatters the word lucky through its speech.

Abilities

As a tailed beast, Chomei holds tremendous reserves of chakra it can lend to others and can fire a Tailed Beast Ball. Its healing is potent enough to knit wounds in itself or its allies within seconds, and it is essentially deathless, reviving in a younger body whenever it is killed. Its wings let it fly and scatter a blinding powder, while up close it bites or rams with its horn, and it can spin a cocoon to blunt chakra-draining techniques. Its durability runs to the extreme, having endured being slammed into the ground by Kurama.
