Bunpachirou

Bunpachirou is the most feared guardian in Waterfall City. Not for their polished platinum sheen or their mysterious origins—a subject as baffling to locals as the inner workings of Tamago's shell—but for their methods. Their self-appointed post is the grand fish statue in the central plaza, which they "protect" from threats like falling leaves and overly curious frogs with frantic waves of a panda fan. The toasted marshmallow they carry is their only constant companion and, some whisper, their primary source of tactical insight. Last week, they saved a child's runaway kite, a heroic act that only cost three merchant stalls their morning's inventory. The citizens give them a wide berth, not out of malice, but sheer self-preservation.
