## History

### First Appearance

He pops out of a balloon pig and kidnaps Elleon her birthday. However, as he makes his escape, he is confronted by Sora, who takes Elle off him. Kabaton manages to take back the child with his fart attack, only to lose Elle once again when he floats into a rock when escaping via a portal. Later, he appears in Sorashido City to take back Elle, and summons a Lanborg to help defeat Sora. During the confrontation, he picks up Sora's hero diary and tears the pages out while making fun of Sora's dream. However, to his dismay, Sora transforms into a Pretty Cure and defeats his Lanborg. Lost for words, Kabaton retreats.

When the three girls are searching for a Sky Jewel, he appears, revealing himself to be the culprit behind the rock tower. He proceeds to summon a Lanborg, which almost attacks Mashiro and Elle until Sky blocks its attacks. Impatient, Kabaton orders the Lanborg to speed up, only to unintentionally motivate Sky instead. After his failure, he tries to summon another Lanborg after eating some poisonous mushrooms, which results in him getting a stomachache and having to retreat instead.

### Tricking Sora and Encountering Cure Prism

He later pretends to be a piglet who is walking into his own trap. Mashiro sees through his trick, but Sora falls for it and decides to save him anyway. He immediately reveals himself and captures Sora, and also steals her Mirage Pen, while also summoning two Lanborgs with the poisonous mushrooms he has. He decides to discourage Mashiro to stop her from taking the Mirage Pen by calling her a side character, only for Ageha to encourage Mashiro instead. He is caught off guard by Cure Prism's arrival, and retreats after his two Lanborgs are defeated.

### Consulting his Leader

Due to being threatened by Empress Underg, he gets serious after stress-eating oden, by exerting all his calories into summoning a strong Lanborg. He easily overpowers Sky, and almost gets his hands on Elle, until both Sky and Prism gain their new attack Updraft Shining, prompting him to panic and escape before his Lanborg is purified. He later temporarily infiltrates Sorashido Academy after being hit by Sora's ball. There, he eats up all of the school's food, and turns the school's cherry blossom tree into a Lanborg, only to be defeated by both Sky and Prism.

### Meeting Cure Wing

He later turns a UFO toy into a Lanborg and destroys the city, making him strong enough to overwhelm Sky and Prism. When he sees Tsubasa attempting to save Elle, he mocks the bird and captures Elle anyway. When he lets his guard down and brags to his boss, he soon realizes Tsubasa is taking Elle away and chases after Tsubasa. Just as he is going to kidnap Elle again, he is shocked to see Tsubasa receiving his Sky Mirage, so he tries to interfere, only for Sky to stop him temporarily. In the end, Kabaton's UFO Lanborg is damaged by Cure Wing's Wing Attack, and he retreats before Sky and Prism purify the Lanborg.

### Final Battle

He soon stops Sora, Mashiro and Tsubasa on the street after venting his grievances to the oden stall owner. He challenges Sora to a duel that will begin in three days. During the three days, he stores up his Underg Energy, which he uses to turn himself into a Lanborg. However, Sky manages to overpower him with Sky Punch, but he breaks his promise and tries to kidnap Elle anyway. After both Sky and Prism purify him with Updraft Shining, Kabaton finally admits that the weak cannot be tolerated in Underg Empire, when he is suddenly levitated into the darkened sky. Realizing Empress Underg is going to kill him off, Kabaton begs for forgiveness. After Sky saves him from being struck by lightning, Kabaton finally realizes what true strength is, and acknowledges Sky before falling into a river. He later decides to stay in Sorashido City to begin a new life.

### New Life

Sometime later, he is revealed to have settled down in Sorashido City as a sweet potato seller, and is enjoying his life.

### Final Battle

He later heads to Sky Land with Minoton to help protect its citizens and Cure Wing from the Lanborgs.

### Epilogue

After the final battle, he decides to stick with Empress Underg, even begging her to make him a doll modeled after him. He, along with Minoton, is last seen scolding Battamonda, which unknowingly amuses the Empress.

## Appearance

He is an oversized anthropomorphic purple pig, with a dark purple gemstone on his forehead. He has a pair of buck teeth, eyes with red markings, a red tattoo on one of his shoulders, and a dark blue mohawk on his head. He wears shoulder spikes, spiked gauntlets, black vest, a dark red neck collar, and a pair of dark red suspenders with matching brown straps. He has a red tattoo on his left arm.His left ear is pierced with an earring.

He wears an additional light brown tie and a dark sage colored buttoned office jacket, and lacks his gauntlets when he is blending into human society.

When temporarily being a Lanborg, he gained a black mask, and became more gigantic in size.

## Personality

He is a snarky pig with a gruff, rude, and arrogant attitude. He happily hurts and belittles those he considers to be weak but cowers before those who are stronger than him. Kabaton has a very good memory, as he is able to remember his enemies' names. He is also a huge glutton.

However, after he is saved by Cure Sky, he begins to acknowledge those who are strong by protecting others. He also becomes nicer after settling down in Sorashido City.

## Abilities

Like the other generals of the Underg Empire, he can summon Lanborg by saying the phrase **"Come on! Underg Energy!"** (カモン！アンダーグ・エナジー！*Kamon! Andāgu Enajī!*?). He has the ability to produce black smoke to temporarily stop or blind his enemies. He can also produce powerful farts to stun his enemies. He can shrink himself to fool his enemies by pretending to be a piglet. He can teleport himself away from one location to another by using his forehead's gemstone and saying "Kabaton-ton!"

## Etymology

The name **Kabaton** is a portmanteau of "kaba", meaning hippo in Japanese, and the measurement unit "tonne". The 'ton' part of his name is also an alternate reading for the kanji 豚 meaning pig.

* He is currently Battamonda's next door neighbor in a rundown apartment.
* He, along with Minoton, didn't summon a Lanborg in Sky Land.
