### Affiliation

Earth Invasion Team

**Kalkori** (CAL-kor-ree) is the glass Vani assigned to Earth. Prior to events of Vanishing World, Kalkori was broken after nearly being engulfed by Vauluktreal. It is currently hidden somewhere on Earth, but it is unknown where. Kalkori’s weak spot is on a ring of teeth, just past its jaw.

## Background

Prior to the 180, Kalkori was a Kitchen-Watcher, a chef for a Devarian-based Vani structure called a Kitchen. In this role, it would house orphaned baby Vani and feed them, and also help with finding parents to adopt them.

During the mission on Earth, Kalkori was almost absorbed by Vauluktreal. This experience was traumatic enough to break it, turning it into the mindless beast it's now known as.

## Abilities

Kalkori's elemental quirk is temporal distortion. When it uses its ability, time becomes warped from the victims perspective, everything happening much slower than it actually is. In instances of the affected being damaged or even killed, they won't feel it right away, leading to Kalkori's targets being dead before they even know it. When using this ability, its tails will fan out.

## Personality

Due to breaking in the past, Kalkori no longer has a personality. It acts akin to a machine or zombie, never emoting, talking, and lacking any sort of autonomy. The only time Kalkori seems to even seems to move is when something comes near its vicinity, in which it will attack it without thought.

According to Xelzerin, Kalkori was a kind and caring Vani before it broke. It was described as wanting to watch over and protect others from harm.

## Development

Kalkori's design is largely inspired by glass, statues, gorillas, peacocks, and Dead Hand from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

In earlier versions of Vanishing World, Kalkori was mainly dark green in color scheme and said to be based around "a woodlike substance not found on Earth". It alongside Nahavra and Synfria were kidnapped by an Omni named Seraphim during an altercation on the moon. The Omni would then experiment on Kalkori, which was how it broke. Characters would also refer to it with he/him pronouns.

Kalkori's boss theme has gone through one revision.

## Trivia

* Although it wasn't inspired by them, many in the fandom compare Kalkori to a snail.
	+ Its dedicated Discord channel referenced this by being named #kalkori-snurch. The channel was removed in the December 2021 server revamp.
* Grey has stated that if Kalkori had taken up a human pronoun or was human, it would be she/her. However, in its current state, it/its fits it best due to its statue/ object-like nature.
* Kalkori's movement is noted to be similar to the ReDeads from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.
* Kalkori's brand represents how it's become a bastardization of itself; what was once a normal part of its body became a barrel of death that destroys everything that comes too close to it. If it were to ever be healed, this brand would also represent its guilt over becoming unhinged.
