“He has a tail, a pincer on one hand and a Squid Launcher in the other. Two Sea Squids come with the set. They can be placed in two holders on his shoulders. He is black and grey in colour, with red eyes and broad shoulders. He also has two red spikes on his head and one on... More each knee pad.”

“The creepiest of barraki, a fearsome and awesome set, containing two shell-like armors, looks liking very a ray. The mouth claws are the same of all barraki. The claws of his hand are great, a good thing to use as titan's fingers, or horns, very usable. The feet are cool,... More big as the mahri Nuparu's feet. The armors and the red spikes makes this set looks more creeper than any barraki. His face have a cool painting and design. He also have a squid launcher.”
