Ecology: It is believed the Kun Kan arise spontaneously from areas where the feng shui is bad, and large amounts of negative chi have been allowed to pool. This seems to be true, as Kun Kan feed off of corrupted earth and ground, such as battlefields, slums, and waste dumps. They will seek these places out, coming together to drain an area of it negative energy before moving on to a fresh location. If a specific spot of earth is constantly supplied with new corruption (such as a dumping ground of chemical wastes and the like), the Kun Kan may remain for a much longer time period, growing in size and strength.
It is said powerful magicians can call forth Kun Kan and force them to do their bidding. It is also said other areas of negative chi spawn their own monstrous creatures.
Personality/Motivation: Kun Kan mainly desire new areas in which to feed. Thus they tend to congregate in area where the earth has been violated in some way. If they can't find such an area, they make one, tearing up buildings, trees, parkland, and virtually anything else they can get their hands on. The Kun Kan despise purified areas as well, and are quite happy to tear down shrines, churches, and other sanctified places. If possible, they will also attack priests and other such people directly, attempting to entomb them beneath the earth.
Powers/Tactics: If possible, a Kun Kan will scoop up masses of dirt and form great balls of mud and earth to hurl at opponents. If these earth balls prove ineffective, or if their targets close to within hand-to-hand range, the Kun Kan will try to batter down their victims with blows of their massive fists. Troublesome (or unconscious) foes will be thrust down into the earth, rendered immobile and left to suffocate. Naturally, a Kun Kan prefers to fight in an area when it can utilize its "Negative Feed" ability, absorbing large amounts of negative chi in order to boost its combat abilities. Kun Kan can also implant suggestions into minds, encouraging them to further despoil natural land and earth. They cannot force someone to act against their will, but can reinforce any feelings that already exit.
Appearance: A Kun Kan is a massive humanoid figure comprised of earth and mud. It is shot through with dark roots and tends to drip oily black ooze when it walks. They are human-sized, but mass far more than any man, with thick, coarse features and extremities.
Designer's Notes: Kun Kan are best used in fantasy games, but could appear in mystically-themed Ninja Hero games or as strange foes in a Champions setting.
