Profile[]

Appearance[]

Blue Kappa is a blue turtle-like monster that stands upright. It has a large pointy rhino horn on its nose, and three small horns that line the longitude of its head. Blue Kappa has two arms with long pointy claws. A large spiky ball is continuously generated from a hole on the top of its back shell, which it spits out to attack Ninja. It wears a loincloth.

Abilities[]

Blue Kappa stands stationary in one location. At evenly set intervals, it generates and shoots a single spiky ball projectile in a parabolic arc at Ninja. This projectile passes through walls. Most Blue Kappa will turn direction to always face Ninja, but some Blue Kappa remain facing a fixed direction.
