Kuzenbo Lore

Kappa are devious creatures. They linger just below the surface of rivers and lakes, waiting for mortals to test the water before snatching and drowning their fleshy meal. Taken merely at their appearance and juvenile sense of humor, they could be mistaken mischievous turtle-men, almost playful in a rude sort of way, but they are dangerously strong and ruthless when submerging their prey. King among these monsters is Kuzenbo; bigger, stronger, and more cunning than the rest, but just as infantile.

Kuzenbo led his nine thousand Kappa followers to Japan, where they harried river villages and fishing boats, using their unnatural strength to pull mortals below. So clever, so hungry had the Kappa become, that Japan's army marched to fight back, but they were no match.

As the bowl-shaped indentation atop a Kappa's head is filled with water, that Kappa grows impossibly stronger - far stronger than a mortal. Yet, bound by their strange sense of honor, a Kappa must bow when bowed to, spilling their power upon the ground. It is the only known way to defeat one.

And of the countless battles Kuzenbo has fought, he was defeated only twice. Upon his second defeat at the hands of General Kiyomasa, Kuzenbo was forced to swear to never again sow strife between man and beast. A vow the Kappa King has honored ever since.

Gods, however, are fair game.

Kuzenbo Aspect

Kuzenbo Aspect Aspect of Spirits

Aspect of Spirits

Water Bowl no longer provides Damage Mitigation; instead, it causes you to spawn orbiting Kappa Spirits. Shell Spikes no longer reflects damage; instead, it causes you to throw Spirit Kappas.

Kuzenbo Lore

Kuzenbo, King of the Kappa, is a mischievous tyrant of river and lake, as cunning as he is dangerously strong. Beneath his playful antics lies a ruthless predator, one who once led thousands of kappa to terrorize mortals and dominate the waters of Japan. Bound by a strange code of honor, he was twice defeated and forced to abandon his war against humanity, though his appetite for chaos remains unchanged. Now, with gods as his prey, Kuzenbo revels in battle once more, equal parts trickster and unstoppable force. Those drawn to Kuzenbo thrive in disruption and resilience, tossing enemies aside, soaking up pressure, and turning fights into chaotic displays of control.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
