Zenberu Gugu

Occupation

Chieftain of Dragon Tusk Traveler (Formerly)

Appearance

Zenberu Gugu has the appearance of a humanoid crocodile. He is quite tall, exceeding 2.3 meters when standing, which makes him rival in height with the 5th Floor Guardian, Cocytus. His body, covered by several scars, gives the impression of a veteran of battle. His most bizarre feature is his asymmetrical arms. Similar in trait with a fiddler crab, his right arm is especially more thick and muscular when compared to his left. His left arm’s ring finger and pinky are completely gone. On his chest is the crimson "traveler" insignia burned in the form of a two-headed snake.

Personality

Zenberu Gugu is quite blunt and to the point in verbal conversation. Having no need for formalities and niceties of diplomacy he seems to favor strength and duels to solve disputes. When he talks, his teeth clash together, making it difficult for others to discern whether he is being casual or threatening. In battle, however, he is calm and collective, preferring to wait out his opponent and then strike. While he is considered a battle maniac, he always honors his promises with friends and foes alike.

Background

Before the resource war in the Wetlands, Zenberu once fought the Chief of Sharp Edge Tribe and was defeated. This defeat encouraged him to become a traveler so as to see new sights and get stronger. According to Zenberu, he had climbed up and down slopes and peaks of the Azerlisia Mountains to find where the Dwarves were located at, spending a month in his fruitless search for them. It was only until when he was about to give up on his quest that he first encountered a Dwarf who came out to explore the surface. After that, various things happened, and he earned the Dwarves’ trust and was brought to their city. In a way, he was rescued by a dwarf and formed an amiable relationship with him. Zenberu settled in Feo Raidho and had acquired a vast amount of knowledge of dwarven culture in the process. Along the way, he had learned martial arts in the Dwarven city. Zenberu left once he gained enough confidence in himself and returned to the Lizardman village.[1] Before departing, his dwarf friend bequeathed Zenberu a steel halberd. Zenberu then return to the Wetlands, and managed to be accepted back into his tribe. Despite his past as a traveler, he managed to rise to the top of the tribal hierarchy, no doubt using his new-found strength and experience from his travels. Zenberu Gugu now leads the Dragon Tusk lizardmen tribe. Every few years the Patriarch is chosen through a test of strength within the tribe and Zenberu has proven himself to be the strongest within the Dragon Tusk tribe. He is a unique figure in lizardmen culture, as in the past he was originally a traveler like Zaryusu Shasha.

Abilities and Powers

In brute force, Zenberu Gugu is most likely the strongest of all the lizardmen. Zenberu is not a warrior by profession, but a monk that fights utilizing Ki to enhance his natural physical abilities. He prefers to fight unarmed, using his claws to rip apart his enemies. In armed combat, he wields an enormous halberd made of metal with a length close to three meters. A length that ordinary lizardmen would require two arms just to lift, but Zenberu is able to lift it in relative ease with only his right. While Zenberu seemingly effortlessly wields this huge weapon, he has no real weapon skills and so it's main role is to deceive the enemy, making them underestimate the lizardman martial abilities. Racial Classes Lizard Man (5) Job Classes Fighter (1) Monk (10) Single Blow (1) Ki Master (1) Skills Natural Steel Weapon: Using his Ki, Zenberu is able to harden certain body parts— such as claws and fangs to make them as strong as metal. With the proper training one can use this attack to pierce even adamantite, but the Dragon Tusk chief is not at that level yet. The most he can pierce is steel. Resistance Massive: A skill of monks, granting the ability to reduce magical damage by dispersing the Ki from one's body in an instant. This is a skill Zenberu learned from his traveler days, after he lost to Frost Pain's 'Icy Burst' attack. Steel Skin: Similar to 'Natural Steel Weapon', this ability is more defensive in which it allows a monk to turn his entire body as tough as steel. Using this ability make him virtually invulnerable to even the slashes of Frost Pain. Main Equipment Steel Halberd: A parting gift he received from a dwarf comrade. Made of pure steel, with a length of three meters the lizardman monk uses this weapon to batter his opponents to pulp. Ring of Sustenance Flight Necklace (formerly)

"I can roughly guess what you plan to say. However, we only believe in strength. Unsheathe your sword." (To Zaryusu and his tribesmen): "Oh...then let me taste defeat with satisfaction! Hear me well! If I were to die in this battle, he will be your tribe chief! There will be no objections to this!" (To Zaryusu): "You really do like her to the point that no medicine can save you." (To himself about Zaryusu): "Incredible! No wonder he is the master of Frost Pain! The strongest male lizardman amongst all lizardmen!" (To Zaryusu): "Is that so? Then remember this, friends who drink together will become buddies, that is the teaching of the dwarves. There might not be much time left, but we should start our talks soon. Am I right, Zaryusu Shasha?" (To Zaryusu): "Yeah, I guessed as much, there are no guarantees in war. If someone assured victory without knowing the strength of the adversaries, I would beat him up and tell him to stop bullshitting." (To Snap Grasp): "Thank you, giant crab. I will not eat mud crabs for a long time as thanks." (To Ainz about the Dwarf Kingdom): "In addition, if you launch a surprise attack and begin their extermination after I lead you there, I pray you will forgive me for taking up arms against you."

Zenberu's favorite food was mud crab, but after fighting alongside Crusch's Snap Grasp, swore never to eat it ever again. When the undead messenger came to the Dragon Tusk Tribe, Zenberu was napping so he was unable to seriously assess the situation.[34] Zenberu was the first lizardman to visit the Dwarf Kingdom. The English translation has him named as Zenbel. In the Web Novel, it is stated by the author that Zero would be able to defeat Zenberu.[35]
