King Midas

King Midas is the Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Medusasapien (also known as a Poulyi) from the planet Chrysipetra.
==Appearance==
King Midas looks like a humanoid bird, more specifically a penguin. He has light blue feathers on his face, lower torso, tail, and toes, blak feathers on his torso, and in between the pink and purple on his wings, pink feathers around his neck and outlining his wings, and purple feathers on the inner section of his wings, between the blue and black on his torso, and on his legs. He has back eyes with a red shine to them. He has a sharp, pink horn sticking out from his forehead. He wears the Simplicitrix on his chest, just above a bolt in a similar pattern.
==Powers==
*King Midas' crest-like horn is able to shoot an energy beam that transforms the matter of its target into whatever he wishes, from matter as durable as obsidian to as ridiculous as cheese. This beam is also unable to be absorbed, as any creature attempting to absorb it would become at least partially transformed into the material before being able to absorb it. The horn is also very sharp.
*King Midas' wing-like flippers are sharp.
*King Midas' feathers are rough and durable.
*King Midas is very good at swimming, and can survive both hot and cold waters.
==Weaknesses==
*Due to the positioning of his wing-like flippers and his bones not being hollow, King Midas is not capable of flight, similar to real life penguins.
*King Midas is physically weak in combat, relying solely on his matter transformation beam to fight. His legs also prevent him from being fast or agile on land.
==Etymology==
*King Midas' name comes from the Greek mythological character of the same name, who was granted the gift, or curse, of turning everything he touched to gold. It is also a play on "king penguin."
*King Midas' species name is a reference to Medusa, a creature of Greek mythology who was able to turn people to stone by looking them in the eye. His alternate species name is a play on the Greek words "poulí," meaning bird, and "ýli," meaning matter.
*King Midas' planet name comes from the Greek words "chrysí pétra," meaning golden rock, a reference to both King Midas and Medusa.
