Zoukingu
[Zou or King]
General Information Type: Elephant Spirit
Gender: Male
Age: 500
Appearance:
- Face/head: The breed of elephant that Zou is from is known as the 'emperor race' of the elephant spirit realm, due to this the normal elephant features are different in that the head of the elephant spirit has four large, curved tusks on each side of its main trunk and three trunks instead of the normal one. Normal large elephant ears can be found on either side of the spirit's head as its aged grey skin shows the marks of battle as several large and small scars can be seen. Lastly are a pair of jade green eyes found within.
- Body: Zou's body is one that is designed to stand on two legs instead of a four, having a slightly humanoid style body. The elephant has four long, muscular arms with four fingers on each that are a mixture of claw and hoof. The spirit has a muscular torso and tree trunks for legs as the feet of the spirit are similar to that of normal elephant feet having wide feet for better stability and four toes. In total size the creature is twenty five meters in height with its arms being lanky at nearly twenty meters on their own.
- Notable Features: Four arms, four large tusks, and three trunks for starters and a number of old battle scars found throughout the spirit's body from a lifetime of battle.
- General: The elephants stern speaking method is one that gives the spirit the intimidation factor when combined with the spirit's tall stature and unique features, causing him to give off an air that commands respect of those below him. While he doesn't consider himself to be a god like spirit, he does draw upon his roots as a royal member of the elephant realm's ruling family feeling above others. This causes for him to be a rather proud beast and sporting a bit of an ego, always ensuring that those around him know of his background and not standing for someone that wishes to trample upon that pride. When not interaction with others the spirit can normally be found meditating on the art of battle or praying to the Gods, retaining his rather religious ideals from when he was a young elephant before being pulled away from his home realm. When push comes to shove, Zou will gladly erase an opponent from existence that dares to challenge him or his new master. Sometimes considered to be a ruthless, evil spirit that is not to be taken lightly by anyone unless they wish to meet a swift death due to the life it has lived while sealed within the mysterious wall of Juu. Though the beast is starting to transition out of the ruthlessness after having been freed from its binds within the wall now serving under Zao's command, its personality and outlook on life shifting and changing as it is able to live a different life than before.
- Hopes/Dreams: Being freed from the bonds of the labyrinth, the creature wishes to see the human realm and the other spirt realms before ultimately returning to his own home realm and family, having dreams of becoming the Elephant Emperor.
- Fears: Being sealed away as he was before, preferring death over that life again.
- Combat Mentality: The elephant spirit's combat style revolves around fighting at close range with one or more opponents using his shield to defend and multiple swords to attack simultaneously or the elephant will go full offense using all the swords at his disposal and slinging the shield onto his back.

GenjutsuShow
Place them here
A fate that almost caused for the now old elephant to contemplate ending his own life but his pride of being a royal blood elephant was to strong in the end and as fate would have it the spirit would have an encounter with two Suna shinobi attempting to make their way into Juu through the old labyrinth nearly two hundred years after the disappearance of those who sealed him within that place. After a fierce battle with the two, the shinobi known to him only as Zao broke the binding formation by using a binding formation of his own. Though he still serves under a human, this one he feels is rather different from those who brought him to the human realm first and ultimately he hopes to be able to return to the realm of elephants after serving this young man...
