Arlon

**Arlon** is a monster that appeared in the *Leeko: The Beginning* trilogy.

## Characteristics and powers

Arlon looks like all the other sheep of Usapia, except the only difference is his visible thick eyebrows which are set in a nasty scowl. Arlon is the only sheep who is capable of speech, though he also appears to be understood by the sheep when he speaks to them. Arlon has a wild and rebellious demeanor, and frequently refers to himself as a wolf (a common predator of sheep). To reinforce this notion, he frequently howls like a wolf, and calls for his flock of sheep to do the same. It is hinted by Twilight Man and Aurora Man was given this temperament and his powers by Nebula Enterprises.

Arlon has a second more monstrous form which he can transform into at will. When he does so, he becomes much larger with dark grayish-purple wool and looks more like a wolf. His eyes turn into an opaque red and his horns turn into straight long spikes that can be shot at opponents and re-grown in seconds. These horn projectiles when launched are strong enough to pierce stone and deflect Needle Leeko's attacks.

## Role in the series

### Leeko: The Beginning

Originally, Arlon was a regular lamb and part of Mayor Bay Brittleton's flock until King Leonardo requested him to be slaughtered and prepared for a meal at Castle Leonardo. Just before he could be slaughtered, however, Arlon escaped and ran deep into the wilderness. There, he was struck by lightning and transformed into a monster with the heart of a wolf. Some years later, he returns to Usapia in the hopes of freeing his fellow sheep from captivity. To do this he directs the sheep to attack those who enter the pen, and then allows the sheep to escape, where they are then directed to conquer and subjugate the Usapians. The sheep nearly succeed in doing this when they trap the Puffies in Castle Leonardo and force them to "baa" in capitulation, but King Leonardo tries to pull a trick on Arlon so he can capture the sheep and slaughter them all for a banquet.

Meanwhile, Milly and Leeko resist subjugation, which prompts Arlon to assume his monstrous form and attack them. While attacking, Arlon discovers King Leonardo's trick and rams him after the castle to prevent him from slaughtering any sheep. From there, he attacks Leeko again and overpowers him despite inadvertently granting him the Needle Copy Ability. Just as Leeko is about to be rammed by Arlon, Milly intervenes by blowing Cindy's whistle, which prompts the other sheep to rally to Cindy out of instinct. When Arlon sees his sheep leaving him, he realizes he cannot help his fellow sheep and gives up the fight, returning to his normal form. Later on, Arlon makes amends with Milly and Leeko, then returns to the wilderness in hopes of finding others like him to lead instead.

## Trivia

* Arlon is the first monster in the Leeko series to surrender voluntarily rather than be defeated.
* The crow monster Crowco who appears in the later episode What A Waste! is extremely similar to Arlon. Both lead an army of their respective species to attack Usapia, both are betrayed by King Leonardo, and both turn into monsters but are later subdued and return to normal.
