Xelzerin

NOTICE
The Kenopsia wiki has been relocated to The Forever Ocean. Information on this page may be outdated. 
Xelzerin (ZEHL-zuh-rihn), or "Carnation", as he calls himself, is the plant Vani assigned to Earth. He is the Vani who abducted Kaylee. He is the main antagonist of Perennial Crisis, overseeing Kaylee as she creates various Faunaflora creatures.
== Background ==
Prior to the Brandshock, Xelzerin lived on a forested planetoid inhabited mainly by Kval. There, he worked as a harvester, picking fruit from the trees that would later be distributed to other Kraizenians.
== Roles ==
=== Part 1 Animatic ===
Xelzerin is seen standing before Kaylee as she runs off to play in a forest. Xelzerin proceeds to abduct her and flies away before Kaylee's parents notice.
=== Perennial Crisis ===
Taking the form of a small flower, Xelzerin watches over Kaylee while working on new Faunaflora. Once Null arrives, he exits his projection form to take her down, but is defeated by a single slash to his left horn.
== Personality ==
Xelzerin is loud, boisterous, and extremely prideful. He is rather full of himself, believing he is a great and powerful being. This ego of his is rather fragile too, as he will throw a tantrum should one question his capabilities, exposing his more childish side in the process. During these tantrums, he will get violent, trying to prove himself by destroying whoever dared question his power.
Deep down, however, Xelzerin is a caring being. When raising Kaylee, he made sure to take good care of her, making sure she was well-fed, safe, and educated. This side of him was much more prominent when he was younger, as shown when he gave Morzorgo a basket of fruits to mitigate the low food supplies.
==Relationships==
*Kaylee Tagetes: Xelzerin's tether. He was Kaylee's "caretaker" for much of her life, and made sure to raise her well. He made sure she was well-fed and that she didn't get too injured. He also educated her, seeing as how she can speak perfect English despite not having much human contact.
*Morzorgo: Acquaintances. Xelzerin was friendly towards Morzorgo throughout the entirety of their first meeting, and was nice enough to give the Krinian some food upon hearing food supply was low on his end. It is unknown if Xelzerin treats Morzorgo with similar benignity post-180.
*Baltzival: He feels threatened by Baltzival's presence.
==Development==
Xelzerin’s appearance is largely inspired by snakes, oxes, dogs, dragonflies, as well as various The Legend of Zelda plant bosses.
==Trivia==
*His name is often shortened to Xel.
*Xelzerin is one of the largest Vani assigned to Earth, being approximately 30ft tall. His size is surpassed only by Baltzival, Gozhylan, and Vauluktreal.
*Although he has a very plant-like appearance, Xelzerin isn't actually made up of any plants. He is simply made of flesh that happens to resemble various plants.
*Xelzerin's Brand represents his fragile ego. His horns are out in the open, front in center, making them easy to destroy- much like his pride.
