Kory

Kory (コアラッキョ, Koarakkyo, Koalacchio) is a Traitless enemy that appears in Legend Stages and The Aku Realms.
==Enemy==
Kory, despite his lowish range, damage and speed, has the ability to create a Level 4 Wave Attack that reaches up to 1067.5 range. He is fairly tough for how early he is encountered, having many knock-backs but also lots of health, making him difficult to simply take down, especially when supporting other enemies.
==Strategy==
Like most Wave Attackers, Kory fires off waves that near-completely invalidate the use of meatshields and tanks since they'll hit pretty much everything, and using them will only lead to him generating more waves. Much like Mr. Mole, he can quickly destroy more fragile stackable attackers, so they too are ineffective. When fighting him, it's important to find a way around them.
In early- to mid-Stories of Legend, Kory is best dealt with durable melee units such as Jamiera Cat and Island Cat. Ideally, these units should be decently disposable and have few knockbacks, so they can get consistent hits on Kory if other threats don't get in the way. Rushers that do lots of damage quickly like Bullet Train and Awakened Bahamut can be helpful later on, using Kory's knockbacks to their advantage when protected properly.
Another option is using powerful midrangers or such as Cameraman Cat and refrain from sending out other units, hoping that they cause enough damage to stagger Kory at range before he has a chance to hit them. Backliners and others stand no chance, as the waves will keep them from having any impact, unless they are immune/resistant or you employ Wave Shields. Octopus Cat is the most accessible option, but a few others, while difficult to obtain, can outrange Kory while still negating his waves. Wave-immune units are of course good to bring, as they easily dismiss his wave.
Being Traitless, not many accessible units may deal with Kory efficiently, with the likes of Lord of Ruin Jagando Jr. and Hitman Cat being prime examples if Kory becomes too tanky to ward off with damage alone, although Macho Glass Cat and Vendor Cat and Kitten can be effective for their status effects that delay Kory from pushing. EPICFEST units and Greater Demon Cat are good to bring if you have them.

==Stats ==
:These are Kory's stats at 100% strength magnification. When first encountered in Flame Caldera, he has 240,000 HP and deals 2,800 damage.
==Existence Elsewhere==
===Nyanko Defense Force===
In Nyanko Defence Force, Kory had many new variants that could be fought as Raid Bosses. They had two attacks: they could summon a cascade of falling icicles from the top of the screen, and they could shoot giant icicles from their hatchets, which would then split into six smaller projectiles. Some units had an ability called Kory Killer, which increased damage against all Kory variants by 50%.
==Trivia==
*Three Evil Brothers implies that Kory, Berserkory and Koronium are brothers.
*Kory is the first character in the game to have Wave Attacks.
**In terms of ID, Kory is also the first character to have Base Destroyer, but not the first to appear in-game: Camelle is encountered earlier and was added in the same update in spite of having a higher ID.
*In Nyanko Defence Force, Kory was the only boss to lack a non-Raid variant.
**Since the Frozen Kory Raid Boss was the first Kory added to the game, he was used as the base for all the others, hence why even the fire variants used icicles to attack.
