King Orion

King Orion is a fictional character from the Bloody Roar series. He only appears in Bloody Roar: Extreme.

King Orion reigns with his son, the Prince Cronos, on the Kingdom of Zoanthropes. As the royal leader of his kingdom, he uses his power and resources to create a peaceful world between humans and Zoanthropes.

Story

In the Bloody Roar: Extreme event, he launched a big Tournament between the best Zoanthrope fighters, mostly to show the strength of his son. At the end of the tournament, he gave to Gado, following an official treaty, the responsibility to protect the Zoanthropes and to contribute to the peace between them, his kingdom, and the humans.

King Orion, despite his good intentions and actions, seems to have a more dishonest side. He keeps in secret some experiments. If we don't know enough about these, they seem controversial enough for Cronos to be strongly opposed to them to the point of sacrificing his own life to stop them. Also, during the treaty with Gado, we can see a man smiling vilely in the shadow, maybe in relation to the King.

Beast Form

He is strongly suggested, by his son and the very nature of his kingdom, that King Orion is a Zoanthrope. There is no clue about what his beast form is in Bloody Roar: Primal Fury but, Kenji Fukuya confirmed that despite having a powerful transformation it is not a dragon but "something else", the game director also admitted keeping the revelation of King Orion's beast form for a sequel which never come.^[1]
