To'kustar

This article belongs to the Classic Continuity.

To'kustars are a species who are created during unpredictable cosmic storms.^[1][2]

Appearance

To'kustars are gigantic humanoid creatures. Their body, face, limbs, and hands are white. They have red stripes on their torso and legs, red spots on their shoulders, red stump-like feet, and a red and black blade on their head. They also have four-fingered hands, red forearms with pointed elbow blades and extremely muscular bodies.

Mutant To'kustars look similar to To'kustars but have grey and purple skin.

Evil Way Big has grey and blue skin.

Behavior

To'kustars are nonviolent beings, and so are commonly known as "gentle giants".

To'kustars live alone at the edge of the galaxy, silently guarding against threats from beyond.^[3]

Powers and Abilities

To'kustars have thick skin, which is resistant to most attacks, whether they be physical or energy, and possess extraordinary strength, even in proportion to their size. Their strength allows them to defeat a normal-sized army and lift objects and creatures around their own size with little effort, and even throw them into space.

To'kustars can blast strong cosmic rays by positioning their arms in an L shape (In Omniverse, this changes to an X shape). These rays are powerful enough to obliterate spaceships and small planets.

To'kustars can create and control cosmic storms, which can also be used for inhabitation and transportation.

Weaknesses

If a To'kustar's head fin is damaged, it causes paralyzing pain throughout their body.

Despite their immense durability, To'kustars are still vulnerable to foes with sufficient strength.

Any Kineceleran can create a tornado powerful enough to lift a To'kustar.

When fighting, To'kustars can easily destroy buildings around them, sometimes causing tremendous amount of harm.

They are vulnerable to their predator, an unnamed virus.^[4]

Naming and Translations

Etymology
