Let's talk about this mysterious 2hu that is part of Animal Realm triad and the leader of eagle spirits, the Goyouku Alliance.
Appearently, she is a Taotie, a sheep-like beast and one of Four Evil Creatures of the World in chinese myth (which is the evil counterpart of Four Cardinal Beasts, sounds like a big deal), known for its gluttony. In-game itself, Saki described her as extremely greedy, which come from the meaning of her species name: greedy glutton.
It's unknown how such person came to lead the prideful eagle spirits. Based on omake their method of attack is aerial strikes and overwhelming through sheer numbers, which could be a hint to her personalities.

I wonder if ZUN will ever give her appearance since she had a role in the game plot and has the same standing as Saki and Yachie. On top of that, Taotie is a too cool to be given to non-character. I get the impression from her original myth that she's phenomenally powerful and quite legendary.
More than that though, I'm curious how she look like.

well, the realm of the beasts is one that is pretty much getting fucked over from keiki when you think about it

If she's a sheep, then I'm expecting extra fluff or extra frills. Maybe wearing a cloud-like coat, but that's too on-the-nose me think.
More than anything, I wonder what her ability could be. Given the whole "overwhelming through numbers", I could see her being able to multiply herself. Also flight, but that's something everyone and their mom can do, so.

I wonder if it's just ZUN setting things up for a new manga. I could see Taotetsu and maybe the secret fifth alliance making an appearance in the next fighting game as well.

That's Tatooine ya dummy.

Remember that Toutetsu is the great evil and is so greedy that people hate her. I imagine she'd be more intimidating.

Warugaki drew Toutetsu as male.

Now that I think about it, was the gender not specified in the games? The name does sounds like male.
Well that's somewhat lowered the chance of Toutetsu to appear.

I actually think Toutetsu will have a design one day. Unlike Tenma, Tsukuyomi and Chang'e, Toutetsu was specifically introduced and mentioned in a mainline game rather than in a manga. Also modern ZUN doesn't do the whole namedrop then forget thing, that stopped a while ago.

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 6 18:35:01 2019 No.22020993 Where did you guys get the info that she is a Taotie anyway? I don't remember Saki mentioned it in any extra stage with eagle spirit.
