Swine, if you retreat, I shall not chase; if you attack, I shall not forgive!
RangaRanga ｢嵐牙, ranga, lit. "Storm Fang"｣ is a magical beast who was named by and is now in the service of Rimuru Tempest. He is an extremely loving and loyal subordinate of Rimuru, who almost always resides in his master's shadow and absorbing his energy until called for or when otherwise necessary. He is the leader of the Star wolf Clan and the son of the previous Direwolf Boss. He is counted among the ranks of the Twelve Guardian Lords.
Appearance[]
Direwolf[]
Ranga was the only Direwolf among his clan to have a distinct appearance. He had regions of bluish-silver fur surrounding his neck, his snout, and the ends of his limbs and tail, unlike the purely dark-periwinkle coat of the other direwolves. Also, he has a noticeable and iconic star mark on his forehead formed by a darker color of fur.
Tempest wolf[]
When Ranga evolved into a Tempest wolf, he grew to a length of 5m along with growing a horn that protrudes out below the center of the star on his forehead. The ends of his limbs are now covered in green socks, which are divided into sections roughly the same size as one another, leaving his paws exposed. He also gained the ability to control his size which enables him to shrink similar size to that of a normal direwolf, even to a size of a regular dog.
Star wolf[]
While siphoning off Rimuru's magicules within Rimuru's shadow, Ranga reached the evolutionary stage of Star wolf without anyone noticing.
Tempest star wolf[]
When he evolved into Tempest star wolf, his muscles bulged, his claws hardened, his fangs sharpened, and one extra horn appeared atop his head. When using Shuttle Fly, his jet-black fur, that covered his majestic body, is clad in golden lightning pulsing through them. Demonic energy seeps out like an electrical discharge. A large golden horn grows from his forehead, on the left and right are the unchanged jet-black horns from his earlier form. The golden horn in the center releases rays of crystallized, pure energy, continuously.
Personality[]
Ranga is a very proud and loyal monster. Towards Rimuru he retains many of the traits of a dog such as loyalty, wagging his tail when he is happy, licking Rimuru, being protective, and always wanting to please his master Rimuru. He is willing to give everything including his own life for Rimuru's happiness and will do everything within his power to make that happen.
Towards outsiders, he comes across as a scary, ferocious beast. He is very blunt with outsiders and does not show any form of politeness. He tends to appear annoyed and suspicious of outsiders. He has a friendly rivalry with Shion for his master's affection.
Background[]
He was the son of the Direwolf Boss. After Ranga's father lost to and was absorbed by Rimuru, he and his pack became Rimuru's followers after the battle, holding no grudge against him.
