Appearance

Coribou is enormous and rounded, an egg-shaped giant who dwarfs both his brother and the rest of their crew, his bulk perched on oddly thin, spindly legs. Dark lips and shadowed rings circle his eyes, and what looks like a lizard, probably an iguana, sits atop his head as his hair, its tail draping over the right side of his face. He dresses in dark trousers and shoes with a paler shirt, the collar stained with the blood that earned his epithet.

Personality

He often seems unaware of where things actually are, having once answered his brother while facing entirely the wrong way. Jumpy by nature, he stutters and sweats constantly, hinting at a fear of Caribou, yet his loyalty never wavers; he calls his brother brosuke and stays affectionate even after Caribou abandoned the whole crew to save himself. Their late grandmother's wish that the two always stick together took firm root in him.

Abilities

Reputed as a fearsome captain, Coribou built his fame alongside Caribou by slaughtering Marines and managed to reach the Sabaody Archipelago. He proved tough enough to endure three thousand meters below the surface and return alive. For weapons he carries a shovel, used both to dig graves for his brother's so-called sinners and as a bludgeon against the G-5 Marines, and he was once seen wielding a handheld Gatling gun, though his ship was wrecked before he could fire it.
