Zenberu Gugu

Zenberu Gugu (ゼンベル・ググー) is the chieftain of one of the five lizardmen tribes, the Dragon Tusk Tribe. He was amongst the few surviving lizardmen whom fought against Cocytus himself.

Appearance
Zenberu has the appearance of a humanoid crocodile. He is quite tall, exceeding 2.3 meters when standing, which makes him rival in height with the fifth Floor Guardian, Cocytus. His body, covered by several scars, gives the impression that he is a veteran to battle. His most bizarre feature is his asymmetrical arms. Similar in trait with a fiddler crab, his right arm is especially more thicker and muscular when compared to his left. His left arm’s ring finger and pinky are completely gone. On his chest is the traveler insignia burned in the form of a two headed snake.

Personality
Zenberu is quite blunt and to the point in verbal conversation. Having no need for formalities and niceties of diplomacy he seems to favor strength and duels to solve disputes. When he talks, his teeth clash together, making it difficult for others to discern whether he is being casual or threatening. In battle, however, he is calm and collective, preferring to wait out his opponent and then strike. While he is considered a battle maniac, he always honors his promises with friends and foes alike.

Background
Zenberu Gugu leads the Dragon Tusk lizardmen tribe. Every few year's the Patriarch is chosen through a test of strength within the tribe and Zenberu has proven himself to be the strongest within the Dragon Tusk tribe. He is a unique figure in lizardmen culture, as in the past he was originally a traveler like Zaryusu.

During his travels, he once settled in the Dwarf Kingdom in one of their underground cities and had acquired a vast amount of knowledge of their culture in the process.

Before the resource war in the Wetlands, Zenberu once fought the Chief of Sharp Edge Tribe and was defeated. This defeat encouraged him to become a traveler so as to see new sights and get stronger. During his travels in the mountains he encountered a dwarf and formed an amiable relationship. Before the two parted ways, the dwarf bequeathed Zenberu his steel halberd.

Zenberu then return to the Wetlands, and managed to be accepted back into his tribe. Despite his past as a traveler he managed to rise to the top of the tribal hierarchy, no doubt using his new-found strength and experience from his travels.

The Lizard Man Heroes Arc
When Zaryusu and Crusch Lulu visit the Dragon Tusk tribe to form an alliance, Zenberu immediately challenges Zaryusu, the wielder of Frost Pain to a duel. Losing the ferocious duel, they have a celebration and Zenberu tries and fails to convince Zaryusu to become the new chief of Dragon Tusk.

Before the onset of the first undead invasion, Zenberu journeyed together with Zaryusu and Crush to the Green Claw Village. After the tribes unanimously decided to dissolve all tribal lines to form the Lizardmen Alliance, Zenberu became a member of the chieftain elite unit. He was instrumental in obtaining victory for the the Alliance by acting as a living shield for Zaryusu to get close enough to deal the final blow on Iguva=41.

The next day after the undead army was defeated, another soon appeared right at the Alliance's doorstep. Zenberu joined the tribal chieftains and a band of other brave lizardmen in a fight against Cocytus. He was summarily beheaded and killed.

The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
Some time after the subjugation of the lizardmen, Zenberu was among the lizardmen that were resurrected. He was present in Nazarick along with a few other lizardman including Zaryusu Shasha doing some training when the worker groups invaded the tomb. While Hamsuke and Erya Uzruth fought against each other, he and his fellow lizardmen mostly just observed the match from a distance.

The Craftsman of Dwarf Arc
When Ainz Ooal Gown came with his entourage to the Lizardmen's village, Zenberu was recruited to act as a guide to the Dwarf Kingdom. During the expedition, Zenberu had difficulty recalling his exact path due to the terrain and his memory. In order to haste the journey, Ainz asked Zenberu to pinpoint the entrance to the dwarven city that Zenberu stayed over a years ago.

Abilities and Powers
In brute force Zenberu is most likely the strongest of all the lizardmen. He prefers to fight unarmed, using his claws to rip apart his enemies. In armed combat he wields an enormous halberd made of metal with a length close to three meters. A length that ordinary lizardmen would require two arms just to lift but Zenberu is able to lift it in relative ease with only his right.

While he seemingly effortlessly wields this huge weapon, he has no real weapon skills and so it's main role is to deceive the enemy, making them underestimate the lizardman martial abilities. Zenberu is not a warrior by profession but a monk that fights utilizing Ki to enhance his natural physical abilities.

Racial Classes

 * Lizard Man (5)

Job Classes

 * Fighter (1)
 * Monk (10)
 * Single Brawler (1)
 * Ki Master (1)

Active

 * Natural Steel Weapon: Using his Ki, Zenberu is able to harden certain body parts— such as claws and fangs to make them as strong as metal. With the proper training one can use this attack to pierce even adamantium, but the Dragon Tusk chief is not at that level yet. The most he can pierce is steel.
 * Massive Resistance: A skill of monks, granting the ability to reduce magical damage by dispersing the Ki from one’s body in an instant. This is a skill Zenberu learned from his traveler days, after he lost to Frost Pain's 'Icy Burst' attack.

Passive

 * Steel Skin: Similar to 'Natural Steel Weapon', this ability is more defensive in which it allows a monk to turn his entire body as tough as steel. Using this ability make him virtually invulnerable to even the slashes of Frost Pain.

Main Equipment

 * Steel Halberd: A parting gift he received from a dwarf comrade. Made of pure steel, with a length of three meters the lizardman monk uses this weapon to batter his opponents to pulp.
 * Ring of Sustenance
 * Flight Necklace

Zaryusu Shasha
Upon meeting the traveler from Green Claw, Zenberu challenged him to a duel to see if he was worthy of wielding the Frost Pain. He admitted his defeat realizing the wounds inflicted by Zaryusu made him a worthy foe. His respect for Zaruysu is great enough to a point where he even attempted the young traveler to take his place as Dragon Tusk's chief.

Crusch Lulu
When he first met Crusch in her bush disguise and as a result he began to playfully call her 'Plant Monster'. This infuriates her to a degree where she acts sarcastic with him, viewing him as a simple buffoon. However Zenberu is oblivious to this even mistaking her remarks as praises.

Shasryu Shasha
Zenberu, after meeting the Green Claw chieftain, challenged Shasryu Shasha to a duel during the initial chieftain introductions in order to see who was stronger. Much to his delight Shasryu agreed but asked to postpone their duel, until after the scouts that returned gave their report of the enemy's movements.

Cocytus
Zenberu commented that Cocytus was a nice guy due to his consideration in giving those that came to fight against him a chance to back away.

Ainz Ooal Gown
Though loyal to his new master, Zenberu was hesitant to guide his liege to the Dwarf Kingdom in fear that he would bring war to his comrades there. He was willing to disobey orders and risk death than betray his dwarven comrades. However, he was reassured by Ainz's sincere vow that his visit was solely for diplomatic purposes.

Trivia

 * When Iguva=41 came to the Dragon Tusk Tribe, Zenberu was napping so he was unable to seriously assess the situation.
 * Zenberu's favorite food is mud crab.
 * He was later revived by Ainz after he was killed by Cocytus in a battle by the request of Zaryusu.
