Scarfy Scarfington

:"D-don't look at me! I'll guide you out, j-just - you can never see my face!" - Scarfy guiding a lost traveller from the underground.
Scarfy Scarfington is a scarf-human hybrid created by Dr. Cobra. Part of Cobra's experiments into creating artificial humanoid life, Scarfy is a failed experiment that now lives in the abandoned underground subway system beneath Slotham City.
== Character ==
=== Appearance ===
Scarfy is a humanoid creature with pale skin and fluffy blonde hair. His skin is fused with two scarflike appendages protruding from his neck, and a sweater-like exoskeleton with two more strong elastic arms. The 'scarf' is blue with red patterning, and the 'sweater' is red with yellow patterning. He has dark doll-like eyes.
His attack, defense and speed forms are red, blue and yellow respectively, with the attack form knitting fibers together to fortify attacks, the defense form curling into a huge impervious ball, and the speed form fraying Scarfington's limbs to propel motion.
=== Personality ===
Scarfy is nervous, shy, jumpy and neurotic. He is extremely skittish and afraid of new people, but is very caring, and will help anyone lost in the underground, although he will try to do so while staying out of sight. Fully aware that he is a monster, he largely keeps to himself, though he yearns to help others and have friends and do things on the surface.
=== Skills and Abilities ===
Scarfy, in his normal form, is very strong and durable, and his unique genetic makeup allows him to self-heal and self-clean. He can also change form; if threatened, he may turn into one of three 'alternate formes':
* Attack Form: Massive strength capable of tossing foes around with ease.
* Defense Form: Impervious to most forms of damage and immovably heavy.
* Speed Form: Blindingly fast and agile.
He also has a broad knowledge of the abandoned underground's labyrinthine architecture.
== History ==
Created by Cobra as part of an experiment into creating artificial life, Scarfy, originally dubbed 'King Cobra', was considered failed - the scarves were not intentional, but scarf particles had become accidentally embedded in the artificial DNA, resulting in the scarf-human hybridism. After gruelling experiments, he fled to escape the torment and disappointment of his creators, residing in the abandoned underground beneath Slotham, dubbing himself 'Scarfy Scarfington' to fully detach himself from his creator.
Other than the controversy surrounding the Inexplicablum-Slotham Gangster Army-Cult of Wom turf war over the underground, Scarfy leads a largely uneventful life, although he does yearn to be accepted, despite believing that he likely never will be.
== Trivia ==
* He was originally named 'King Cobra' because the King Cobra is the largest venomous snake; since Cobra considered Scarfy (or, King) to be his and Bill Large's brainchild, this is a pun on a combination of their names - the creation was named after a 'large cobra'.
** Technically, this makes him and Tito Noboa, the other 'large cobra', brothers.
* He does not interact much with the other residents of the Underground, mostly due to feeling threatened by Coyote's friendliness and the likelihood of crossing paths with Lesley being fairly slim.
