~ Ikalgo to Killua |
Ikalgo is a minor antagonist-turned deuteragonist from Hunter x Hunter. He was once a soldier from NGL until he was captured and reincarnated into a Chimera Ant.
He was voiced by Kenyuu Horiuchi in Japanese dubbed, and by Greg Chun in English version of the anime.
Biography[]
Ikalgo is an octopus and a former commander of the Chimera Ants, though he served under the King and prefers to call himself a squid. In charge of an underwater unit, he took on Killua using a set of nen abilities: He can see his immediate surroundings as a set of coordinates to snipe with, and he shoots fleas that drain the subject of their nen. If enough nen gets drained, the subject is depowered momentarily. Ikalgo is also able to climb into the body of a dead person and move them around as if he were that person, though his rifle will appear as a sniper-shaped growth. Inspired by Killua's bravery, he decides to join up with Gon and the others. He makes his way to the East Gorteau palace and sneaks into a basement area to try to rescue Palm.
Trivia[]

- Ikalgo is the only Chimera Ant to be confirmed to possess distinct memories of both his animal and his human components.
