Description
Thanatos is shown to be a genie with a green skin tone and fish-like characteristics. He has two red eyes with cross-shaped pupils, as well as a large, smiling mouth with blue lips and two fangs. He also has a short, stubby nose, a red jewel embedded in his belly, and a skull ornament at the tip of his head, which also seems to have a mind of its own. Thanatos seemingly wears silver shoulder armor, a red scarf, and a pair of large, genie-like trousers also decorated with yellow and red stripes. In addition, the armor on his shoulders appears to be covered with various branch-like structures that have jewelry hanging from them, as well as bolts of energy swirling around them. Thanatos is also a shapeshifter and has a multitude transformations that he uses during battle, including a doll-like version of himself, a pot with his face in it, and a bat-like creature. He can also change into a cloud of bats to warp around the room he is battled in. In addition, some of his transformations include various items and objects from the game, such as the Atlas Foot and the blade of Magnus.
Trivia
- Thanatos has the same origins as the Tanatos enemy from the original Kid Icarus, although the latter was likely a mistranslation of the original name.
- The mistranslated name was referenced in the chapter The Seafloor Palace. Thanatos corrects Palutena for referring to him as Tanatos, stating that he changed his name to Thanatos because the added "H" makes it sound "hamazing".
- Although Thanatos and Tanatos look very different physically, they both share certain qualities such as a green skin tone and blue lips.
- It is unknown how Thanatos underwent such a drastic change since Kid Icarus, but since he is a shapeshifter, it is very possible that his original snake-like appearance was simply one of his transformations.
