Death (Dreamworks)

## Summary

**Death** is the physical embodiment of death, seen and described to be a force of nature towards those he targets, especially towards that of Puss in Boots who he stalked and tantalised relentlessly in order to snuff out the cat's ninth and last life.

Upon meeting Death, Puss mistakes the wolf as just another bounty hunter wishing to claim the hit on the cat's head and mocks him for it. After a mortifying conversation and one-sided fight with the alleged mercenary, Puss migrated into a brief retirement to secure his last life until hearing of The Last Wish, in which he embarks on a journey to claim the wish in order to attain his previous eight lives and restore his pride, with Death stalking him throughout it. In the Forest of Magic, Puss finds out that the wolf wasn't a skilled bounty hunter, but instead is the literal grim reaper, out to kill Puss after feeling insulted by the cat's ability to escape death more than once.

On the precipice of making his wish, Death and Puss engage in one last fight, to which Puss triumphs by exasperating Death with his newfound value of life, causing the wolf to dismiss Puss due to not viewing him as a legend anymore, causing their feud to end with Death reminding the cat that they will meet again one day.

**Powers and Abilities:** **Superhuman Physical Characteristics**, **Weapon Mastery**, **Acrobatics**, **Bodily Weaponry** (With his claws and his sharp teeth), **Enhanced Senses** (As a wolf, Death should have a sense of smell 100x superior to a human's, better capability of seeing in the dark, and should have better hearing. Could smell Puss' fear), **Teleportation** (Appears out of nowhere various times), **Fire Manipulation** (Summoned flames from his sickles) **Social Influencing** (Managed to scare Puss into having a panic attack. Made his life flash before his eyes twice), **Abstract Existence** (Type 2), **Perception Manipulation** (Appears multiple times throughout the movie whistling, with no character noticing him except for Puss until the battle on the Wishing Star), Possibly **Time Slow** (Might be the cause for this time slow). **Resistance** to **Deconstruction** and **Fire Manipulation**

**Intelligence:** Gifted (A master in various fields such as combat, intimidation and stalking his prey, which all factor into him being an extraordinary grim reaper. His combat prowess was able to trump and overcome that of Puss in Boots. Was the catalyst of changing the person Puss is, being able to afflict so much fear, trauma and anxiety into him that it nearly forced him into an early retirement, which could have resulted in him living in among a house of normal house cats, showing that he knows exactly how to get under people's skin. Not much is known about Death outside of his connection with Puss himself, but it can easily be inferred that his track record is almost flawless, telling Puss that "no one's escaped [him] yet" and that running away will only delay the inevitable, in which Death chose to masterfully stalk Puss once he had done this with nothing he can do to counter, or in order to escape)

**Weaknesses:** Somewhat sadistic. Tends to play with opponents
