[1.] Introduction
Hello, I am Oreno5267, this is my fifth time writing an FAQ after
having wrote my other four FAQs. Seeing and reading many FAQs of
authors, their format and writing styles, I had became intrigued as
to how they have spent time on additional changes, organizing sections,
and exploiting different games. This character FAQ is on Hirudegarn
of Budokai Tenkaichi 3 of Dragonball Z. 
English is not my first language, you have to bear with me.

[2.] Character profile: Hirudegarn
=====================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

(Note:Character profile is taken from Character Reference mode of Main menu.)

Character Reference

Voice Actor - Robert McCollum

Character Introduction

Hirudegarn is the beast that once rampaged across the planet Konats.

It was once a mere statue of a demon that watched over the planet, but an
evil wizard named Hoi used his magic to turn it into the beast, Hirudegarn.

Thanks to the hero Tapion, Hirudegarn was split into two parts, and the
halves were sealed inside the bodies of Tapion and his brother.

Tapion was also sealed inside a music box, but Hoi was able to find it,
and on Earth he brought back the beast.

Hirudegarn is every bit as strong as he appears, and has the ability to
transform into a mist, making him invulnerable to most attacks.

He does have one weakness: the sound of the legendary flute of Konats
can seal him away.

Chi-Chi's Commentary
Such gigantic monsters do exist.

[3.] Pros and cons of Hirudegarn
========--------------========
When choosing a character to play with, it is always important to keep in
mind to know what that specific character is capable in every aspect before
a match begins, there is no exception that a human player may or may not know
in order to pick a character again. Now, on to Hirudegarn's pros and cons.

Pros:
High health
Has brickwall effect
Largest giant character in the game
Cheap and inexpensive B1's, both use one blast stock

Cons:
Really high Destruction Point
His speed is even slower than those of Great Apes
Dark Eyes may be considered spammable

horns there is a red part which continues to on his back. Two black horns that
protrude from his head. Really long black tail with the tip of the tail

[7.] Custom Potara Setups
==========================
You may choose your own potaras to equip, these customs are as
to how Ultimate Gohan should be equipped.

Custom 1~

1. King Kai's Training -{4}

[8.] Red Potara Password
===============================
Red potaras are different from the ordinary potara, they will
grant enhanced power damage, ki speed rapidly rising, and health is
automatically regenerated which makes it really, really special, they
cannot be acquired by basic means like the items in the game used
to customize your fighters in 'Evolution Z'. Go to 'Data Center' from
the main menu then put the following code in 'Password Input Screen'.
Down below is the red potara password for Hirudegarn.
