Kyouhukou

Kyouhukou (恐怖公, きょうふこう) is an Area Guardian of the Black Capsule (黒棺, ブラック・カプセル) on the 2nd Floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Appearance
Kyouhukou's appearance is that of a 30cm tall cockroach standing on its two legs with its head facing forward. He wears a bright red cape decorated with luxurious golden threads around the edge and a tiny golden crown on top of his head. He possesses a sceptre with a pure white gem embedded at the end, which he is often seen holding with his front leg.

Personality
Kyouhukou's personality displays a hint of nobility like his attire would suggest. He speaks politely and overall seems to think of himself as a noble gentleman. He is considered open-minded when he was willing to hear out a person's circumstance even if it means rejecting their help later. In a way, Kyouhukou is somewhat reasonable to Nazarick residents like Hamsuke who he helped when she got lost.

Background
According to the author Maruyama, Kyouhukou's room has a trap that targets characters with a female exterior and forcibly teleports them to the roach pit.

The Undead King Arc
Cocytus noticed his friend Kyouhukou was not present at the guardians' meeting on the 6th Floor. He was informed that the meeting was only for the Floor Guardians. Later, Ainz asked for the Floor Guardians to report the changes in Nazarick to the Area Guardians, including Kyouhukou.

The Search for Hamusuke Arc
Kyouhukou encountered Hamsuke on the 2nd Floor, when she accidentally entered the Black Capsule after being frightened away by the undead. Seeing that she was lost, the cockroach gave her one of his subjects to guide her to the 6th Floor.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc
Kyouhukou was mentioned by Mare and Aura as the one who tortured Hilma into revealing all of Eight Fingers' secrets. Later on, the siblings would bring the remaining executive members of Eight Fingers to him, so that he may interrogate them.

The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
Kyouhukou greets Gringham and his comrade in his domain, the Black Capsule. The cockroach engages them in a polite conversation, telling them where they were and answering their questions, until they try to negotiate their escape, and in turn, Kyouhukou finds this humorous. Seeing that his subjects have been committing cannibalism to survive, and an opportunity for fresh meat, the cockroach gives the order to devour the two workers.

Quotes

 * (To two members of Heavy Masher): "Ah, I apologize. This one is Kyouhukou, the one entrusted with this territory from Ainz-sama. Please to meet your acquaintance."
 * (To two members of Heavy Masher): "Of course, that would be something you wish for. But even if you do leave this room, you are currently on the 2nd Floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. I must advise you that it would be extremely difficult to return above ground."
 * (To two members of Heavy Masher): "This one already has everything one could wish for in its hand. I doubt you would be able to provide what I desire."
 * (To two members of Heavy Masher): "But you seem to be confused as to why I was thanking you earlier, so I wish to provide you with an explanation. You see, my subjects are getting tired of cannibalism. To you, who will be the food that will serve as the solution, I give my thanks once again."
 * (To two members of Heavy Masher): "It may be unfortunate for you two, but now it is time to have you for dinner."
