Kyouhukou

Kyouhukou (恐怖公) is an Area Guardian of the Black Capsule () on the 2nd Floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
== Appearance ==
Kyouhukou's appearance is that of a 30-centimeter tall cockroach standing on its two legs with its head facing forward. He wears a bright red cape decorated with luxurious golden threads around the edge and a tiny golden crown on top of his head. He possesses a scepter with a pure white gem embedded at the end, which he is often seen holding with his front leg.
== Personality ==
Kyouhukou's personality displays a hint of nobility like his attire would suggest. He speaks politely and overall seems to think of himself as a noble gentleman. He is considered open-minded and is willing to hear out a person's circumstances even if it means rejecting their help later. In a way, Kyouhukou is somewhat reasonable to Nazarick residents like Hamsuke, who he helps when she gets lost.
== Background ==
According to the author Maruyama, Kyouhukou's room has a trap that targets characters with a female exterior and forcibly teleports them to the roach pit.ARCADIA 2.16: ARCADIA 498 10-18-2010
