- "Welcome, friends, to Kiru City!""
- ―Kiru, Hotekk's Challenge, Part 2
Kiru was a Past UnderWorld Creature. He is the ancestor of Chaor.
Creature Information[]
Kiru was one of the greatest OverWorlders in history, savior of many and founder of both Kiru Village (later Kiru City) and UnderWorld City. He was one of Chaor's ancestors. Widely considered a great leader, he maintained order often through leadership and negotiation, but was not afraid to wield his power when necessary.[1]
One day Tom, Kaz , Peyton and Sarah used Dranakis Threshold to travel back in time (though they didn't realize it at first). They were soon brought to Kiru Village where they met its leader, Kiru. Later, Tom returned in order to learn more about past events. While there he was tricked into helping a thief named Vlar (ancestor of Maxxor) which interrupted Kiru's peace negotiations with Kaal, a creature who often raided Kiru Village.
Kaal specified that he would only free his OverWorld slaves if they retrieved for him the Oraclon. Kiru later risked his own life to save Vlar. Vlar then returned the favor by helping Kiru and his group escape Gigantempopolis.
In a situation where Kaal, the Ruler of the UnderWorld, kidnapped and enslaved many OverWorlders, Kiru went into the UnderWorld to defeat him and bring peace to Perim once and for all. What happened is unclear, but due to his relationship with Chaor, it seemed his mission was successful. [2]
How and why the new Underworld became an enemy of Najarin and theOverWorlders is a mystery.
Appearance[]
Kiru is for the most part a purple-blue version of Chaor matching him physically, though in his television appearance his face somewhat resembles Maxxor.
Strategy[]
On paper, Kiru's ability gives your army the chance to outlast and steamroll through the enemy with enough victories. However, this ability is let down by multiple factors. Kiru's Energy is only average, making it relatively difficult for him to win combats against the enemy's frontline fighters, and his ability does not affect himself, making his use rather paradoxical as it renders him inefficient as both a fighter and support. Furthermore, the extra Energy on your other Creatures is generally superfluous if Kiru is defeating the opponent already. As such, running Kiru is seldom justifiable over playing a stronger fighting Creature (such as either version of Chaor, Takinom, the Shadowknight, or Rothar, Forceful Negotiator) or a support Creature that has immediate use (such as Ulmar, Perithon Racer or, in mixed decks, Taffial or Vunhra).
