Mokujin

Mokujin is a character from the Tekken series.
== Charactah Account ==
Mokujin is a practice dummy made from a millennia-aged oak. Its purpose is anything but target practice, though; its ancient spirit exists to help ensure that if some immense force for ruin rises, there's still someone left to bring it down if humanity isn't up to the task.
As a non-living entity, Mokujin shows little in the way of personality. When it is shown in social situations, Mokujin seems to be a very jovial and kind-hearted being, likely due to its desire to restore peace to the land animating Mokujin with a good soul.
During Scenario Campaign, Mokujin wonders why people would be surprised at seeing a sentient dummy, much less communicate with one telepathically.[6] Although Mokujin often enjoys seeing the growth and power of humans, it is aghast at their decisions to eat up nature's resources for private profit. Mokujin also speaks with an archaic tone.

== Trivia ==
* Mokujin is referred to as 'it' by other characters and in its official profiles. In all of its appearances, it has a secondary costume that grants it a more feminine appearance, implying its default appearance is more masculine.
** Non-canonically, this feminine costume is a second Mokujin, who has a relationship with default Mokujin, as seen in Mokujin's Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 endings.
* Mokujin's fighting style is called "Wooden person fist".
* If the player selects Mokujin then presses and holds 'down' on the d-pad while the game is loading, the traditional sound, heard when getting hit, is switched with the sound of striking a block of wood. This applies for all games, though in Tekken 3, it sounds more like the "clicks" of wooden chimes.
* Mokujin only makes the sounds of wood knocking in his interludes, which is his form of communication.
* When mimicking characters from the Mishima bloodline, instead of their lightning effect on impact, Mokujin will show green leaves near his hands on impact.
** This was discontinued as of Tekken 6, and Mokujin now also mimics effects such as lightning on impact.
* Mokujin only comes alive to serve as a harbinger of supernatural threats, which could explain why he did not appear in Tekken 4 or Tekken 7.
* In Tekken 4, Mokujin was replaced by Combot, who also uses mimicry. Mokujin replaced Combot in the next game, however.
** This makes Mokujin the second character in the series to be replace their own successor, the first being Marshall Law. Raven would also go onto do this in Tekken 8.
* While Mokujin seems to communicate through wood clicking noises in Tekken 5, he is able to communicate through telepathy during Tekken 6 Scenario Campaign.
** Mokujin also speaks during the climax of Tekken: Blood Vengeance.
* As a protector of the natural world, Mokujin is able to commune with plants and forests.
* Mokujin can sense people through emotions and spiritual energy.
* In Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament, when Mokujin mimics a large character such as Gun Jack or Kuma, he shares their hitbox properties while standing or crouching, but not in mid-air. (e.g: Hwoarang's Skyrocket will not be able to launch Mokujin at its full height, while Mokujin's smaller hitbox kept him from suffering the same kind of combos large characters had).
* If Mokujin mimics a character, he will also share that character's unique interactions. (e.g. Mimicking Julia Chang will make him a viable target for the Julia Hug.)
* If one looks at Mokujin in certain official artworks, one can dimly see a mouth camouflaged on his wooden head.
* There is a reference to Mokujin in season 3, episode 19 of the cartoon Steven Universe. While the characters Steven and Amethyst are playing a fighting game, one of the fighters that can be seen on the character select screen is made of wood, has a cylindrical head and torso as well as a cylindrical nose, and has a single green sprout with two leaves coming from its head. The character's name is given as "Gwood Guy".
