Shion is usually accompanied by several Spider Goons, her loyal servants.[1] Though they seem to have limited intelligence and strength, they make up for it with their overwhelming numbers.
Appearance[]
They all wear black, tight-fitting bodysuits and white masks.[1]
Personality[]
They follow Shion's orders without hesitation and communicate via high-pitched squeaks.[1] While not very expressive, they have displayed shame while Shion was upset with them,[2] and pride when she depended on their skills.[3] They are not very smart, usually doing things wrong (such as accidentally dropping a large rock on Yoshimori when ordered to put it down gently).
Plot[]
Powers & Abilities[]
High Agility: They are very agile, and seem to have no trouble quickly scaling small buildings or maneuvering among high rafters.[2]
Hand-to-Hand Combat: They were easily able to dispatch Heisuke Matsudo's Ayakashi servants, and he commented that they must be very skilled to do so.[1]
Threat Detection: Shion typically sends them ahead of her as scouts or a first wave of attack in combat situations. This allows them to either locate a potential threat and report it back to her (such as Heisuke Matsudo's talismans),[1] or to come under enemy attack first, allowing Shion to judge the opponent's capabilities before encountering them herself (such as with Kagami).[2]
Trivia[]
- Though Shion was the commander of Kokuboro's 2nd Executive Department, she was never actually seen commanding anyone but her Spider Goons, which implies that they were the sole members.
- Shion creates Spider Goons by binding and transforming Ayakashi (as seen with Hekian). Hekian is implied to have retained his vision-based ability after being transformed, so it is possible that individual Spider Goons possess a unique trait or ability that the others do not.
