Chopov
Skeleton of Earth
Weapon of choice: Machete
Elemental color: Black
Strength: Defense
From deep in the earth, Chopov uproots all life. Nothing can stand in his path, for he knocks everything off balance. He swings his bone-sharpened machete and screams, "TIMBER!" until everything is chopped down.
Did you know that Chopov is built like a brick, and twice as smart? Maybe that's why he likes to watch paint dry.
