Hotdog
CharacterHotdog is a Wolf-level Mysterious Being shaped exactly like its name, a walking frankfurter that brags about drowning victims in ketchup. It never gets the chance to prove the threat, cut down the instant it appears by an irritated Tatsumaki during her rare day off.
Appearance
Living up to its name, the creature takes the form of an enormous hot dog. A sausage streaked with pale and dark condiments rests between two bun halves, each carrying a single eye, and the whole thing walks on a pair of legs with arms to match.
Personality
It barely lasts long enough to reveal a character. What little shows through is a clear appetite for killing people and an inflated confidence in its own menace, with the monster boasting that it could smother a person in ketchup until the salt intake alone finished them off.

History
Hotdog is among the swarm of monsters that crop up while Tatsumaki is trying to enjoy some time away from hero work. Arriving in town, it squares up against the C-Class Armored Chief Clerk, but Tatsumaki, tipped off by a message about the sighting, streaks over and destroys it on the spot. Venting a full day of pent-up frustration on the creature, she declares herself relieved and flies off. As a Wolf-level threat it can safely be counted among the weakest of monsters.
