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.
