I decided to a create a fun character who acts both as a rival and a villain, Say hello to Krike he's used to be just an ordinary Spike Koopa and he was quite special of kind due to blue green skin and the ability to generate stronger spike balls and spike bars and had use to reside in another universe dimension in a world of the mushroom kingdom and was working for the koopa king bowser and his forces in order to take over the mushroom kingdom however he grown tired and sick of the constant losses by by two certain plumbers mario and luigi including they're friends and getting beat by them all the time he had enough and deserted Bowser and his forces who weren't please of him leaving.

He been on the run for a long time outsmarting and out running his pursuers and his former friends in every way but he knows he can't run forever and decided to leave the world instead, after laying low some time he been scouting out his secret hiding place for parts to build a space ship while avoiding or fighting off any scouting koopa who are relentlessly looking for him including other specie who can prove hostile, after a long time he finally completed his space ship and just in time too because a another spike koopa had found him and his hiding place and run for it to tell the others, he knew he doesn't have long so he packed up what he can take with him and starts up his ship and just as bowser's koopa forces were closing in on him, he blasted off high to the sky and into space and that's he when knew he was able to escape and now is a free koopa.

While drifting in space Krike pulls out an unknown crystal that he secretly have kept hidden to himself for a long time where during when he was still with bowser's forces on an excavation and where he discovered within a secret area of an unknown ship, upon examining he soon became mesmerizes by it and suddenly it started to glow brightly which surprised and soon enough everything around him was engulfed in light, Krike couldn't see but felt his body going into a sudden change and after that everything went black.

After awhile Krike woke up in the strange new world and he notice he feels a bit taller he thought he was dreaming, he notice a pond and head right over splash water on his face to wake himself up but he soon realizes that it's not a dream and upon looking at his reflection in the water and notice he was different his was still the same spike koopa but body was a complete different shape taller too but he also feels stronger and then it all came to his mind that he that he's now an animalnoid, he was confused and surprised of how he became an animalnoid it must have something to do with the crystal he found and how it went all glowing and bright before, but after awhile he started liking his new found form but not only he tried out his newfound strength and he amaze of what he can do, he can imbue his spike balls and spike bars with various elements and even shape them into different weapons, he possess immense strength and extreme speed, Krike knew that he was reborn with a new life as an animalnoid as the new and improved Krike.

After a long time fully adapting to life in the world of animalnoids he became a powerful bandit leader and now has his own forces basically his own clan he named Kriker, and he became well known for his dominance and his desire for treasure and riches, lust for power, love for action and a thrill seeker so yeah he well known for his extremeness how is highly respected by his clan and he'll show anyone that he is not to be mess with and prove to them that he's the boss no a King!

Im going to enjoy drawing Krike and Konogo in tussles with eachother because he's fitting as a rival and a bad guy, anyway I decided to do a backstory on him just like i did with Konogo backstory as a youngling, the reason I draw him because let's just I really like the Spikes Koopas in the mario universe and I thought of doing an animalnoid one and it was so worth it, I should start doing species from other series more anyway I hope you guys like it.

OH! I forgot to mention that bracelet with Magenta Gem in it has the power to transform him into a massive giant so be careful not to get on his bad side or your gonna end up flat underfoot.
