Burning Spice Cookie!

Appearance:

Burning Spice Cookie is a vision of raw strength: he is a very tall, hulkingly muscular Cookie with a massive upper body and reasonably thick legs, giving him a top-heavy build. His dough is a rose-terracotta tone peppered with umber tattoos like tiger stripes. His hungry eyes, poised under a furrowed brow and lined in black, curling lashes, burn with fire in jasmine slit pupils and cooler red sclerae. Below lies a wicked grin of sharp teeth set in tarnished gold. Sinuous brands border his eyes symmetrically in pointed fronds as another sits at his forehead, acting as the base to his two grand antennae. They erupt in stinging tongues of flame and likely represent his twisted divinity and power, as they come from his Ajna chakra (Sanskrit: आज्ञा), where Shiva (Sanskrit: शिव) has his third eye. Burning Spice Cookie's hair is exceedingly long and drags on the ground beneath him. Its matted mass is an all-encompassing void of black compared to his otherwise fiery tones and sprawls away in wild strands. The Great Destroyer wears little clothing and armor, conveying his confidence with such a lack of protection. His chest is bare save for his fire red, triangular Soul Jam, being emblematic of his status as a Beast and signaling to all his strength. It is flanked by fiendish, heath markings similar to those on his face. The one true garment on Burning Spice Cookie is a pītāmbari (Sanskrit: पीताम्बर) dhoti (Hindi: धोती), a silken, saffron yellow cloth attributed to Vishnu (Sanskrit: विष्णु)/Krishna (Sanskrit: कृष्ण) in Shaivism (Sanskrit: शैवसम्प्रदाय); it wraps his legs and is accompanied by a separate, ruby red waistband-loincloth hemmed with orange and secured with a golden buckle. Any extra adornment on his body is scant—a single bracelet coils around his left wrist and two slight plates of armor with a single spike each sit on his shoulders, all three elements being rendered in pale gold.

Appearance (2):

His weapon of choice is a menacing parashu (Sanskrit: paraśu) that stands even taller than its wielder. Its double blades curve like searing flames—one larger than the other—and stem from a red-hot starburst insignia. These blades can be shattered and restored at the Destroyer's will, seeming to be made from pure energy (or at least representing Burning Spice Cookie's power over Change). The axe's base is a long shaft with numerous sharp bevels, while the entire weapon glows with hellish heat and takes the colors of warm igneous rock and flowing magma.

Personality:

As the Beast of Destruction, Burning Spice Cookie's behavior exemplifies such, with his first act upon regaining a physical form being sending an army after the Golden Cheese Cookie, current owner of his Soul Jam. Most of his quotes express his hatred for boredom and peace while showing his deep lust for carnage.

Skills:

In exchange of his own lifeforce, Burning Spice Cookie releases his inner God of Destruction, dispelling debuffs and gaining the Berserker buff. While transformed, he will become immune to all debuffs except for Curse and will absorb the ATK of the three allies (targets Cookies first) with the highest ATK. Burning Spice Cookie will gain the Spice Rampage buff depending on the target of his basic attacks and will gain the Enrage buff after reaching a certain threshold. After, he will slam down the ground with his great axe, dealing damage with the final blow. The axe will create a pool of lava for a certain period of time and deal periodic damage. Enemies' ATK SPD and ATK are reduced in the lava, while the Sarcophagus of Gold and summons receive a great amount of damage. The Great Destroyer, Burning Spice Cookie, activates Firestorm periodically, inflicting Burn to all targets (excluding Safeguarded Cookies) and providing CRIT% and CRIT DMG buffs for his allies. Additionally, he applies The Destroyer's Gaze debuff on the enemy Cookie with the highest ATK. Upon entering the battle, Burning Spice Cookie applies the Revelry of Flames buff on Fire-type allies, which increases their ATK and DMG Resist by the number of Burn stacks. Additionally, Burning Spice Cookie's CRIT% increases according to the number of nearby targets with Burn. When hit by Water-type attacks for a certain number of times, a Burn debuff is removed. If Burning Spice Cookie is defeated, he becomes Immortal for a certain period of time and dispels debuffs.

Some facts:

Burning Spice Cookie is the first, and currently only, Cookie that can inflict a debuff ( Status Burn Element FireBurn) on his own allies. Burning Spice Cookie's loading screen trivia states, "The Wild Spices worship the Great Destroyer out of fear. But what if... they desire something more...?" While Burning Spice Cookie's original Virtue was localized as "Change", the original Korean text uses the term "역사" (yeogsa), which more directly translates as "History". The initial version of Burning Spice Cookie's angry story sprite included in the official Cookie Run: Kingdom fankit contained leftover revision notes. The notes, overlaid near Burning Spice Cookie's legs, read, "용쿠랑 발 높이 맞춰주세요," which translates into English as "Level the height of Yongku's feet." Notably, "Yongku" is a common nickname for GingerBrave in Korean-speaking circles. The "Recruit Adventurers" subpage of the 3rd Anniversary of Cookie Run: Kingdom website, being published on January 5th, 2024 at around 2:00 pm GMT +9, accidentally included far more information on Beast-Yeast and the Faerie Kingdom than was intended. Here, Burning Spice Cookie, alongside Silverbell Cookie, Mercurial Knight Cookie, Elder Faerie Cookie, and the other Beast Cookies, was revealed. This content was swiftly removed and reinstated on the site's main page about 4 days later with slight changes. In this early reveal, Burning Spice Cookie was referred to as "Red Spice Cookie." Out of all Cookies, Burning Spice Cookie has the longest Skill description with 265 words in total.
