Death (Puss and Boots) (Wanked)

“	DEATH. (smashes another life) And I don't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically, or any other fancy way. I'm Death. Straight. Up. And I've come for you, Puss in Boots.	„
	~ Death to cat about his true form

Fun Fact:

When Death crosses his sickles on his chest, it makes him appear similar to Anubis, the Egyptian God of the Dead.

Summary[]

The character Death, also known as the Wolf, is the primary antagonist in the 43rd full-length animated film produced by DreamWorks, “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.” This film is a spin-off of the popular Shrek franchise. Death is portrayed as the physical embodiment of the Grim Reaper, taking the form of a white wolf adorned with a black hooded cloak. Death's primary motive in the film is to exact revenge on the legendary feline character Puss in Boots, who he feels carelessly wasted eight of his nine lives.

Puss in Boots has demonstrated the ability to inflict harm and scratches on formidable opponents, such as Shrek) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Death is a projection of an unconscious fear. The primal fear of the inevitable, flowing across reality as an unbound idea. Can project itself inside the thoughts of others, existing beyond the confines of space, a creature shaped from a realm of raw consciousness.) | Likely Boundless (he is literal grimreaper and according to TikTok), Memetic Tier (has been stated to solo everyone because he is cool, can't be labelled by any tier and is by definition unbeatable, the status of his invincibility may vary depends on the playing field, he can't practically and theoretically be defeated since he is inherently unscale-able as he is narratively death, as strong as the plot needs him to be)

Death has been depicted traversing through the Dark Forest, appearing at the Cave of Lost Souls where Puss in Boots was isolated, and passing effortlessly through the star wall that erased anyone who touched it. Death has the power to reveal itself only to those it selects, as seen when it appeared several times but was only visible to Puss in Boots until the final battle when Death finally revealed itself to everyone inside the star.)

Weaknesses: death evinces a marked proclivity towards sadistic tendencies against those opponents he deems deserving of the ultimate penalty of death, often subjecting them to the cruel irony of a fighting chance, only to blithely and viciously snuff out any hope of victory. Further, he displays a propensity for indulging in such sadism by playing with his prey. Notably, he limits himself to engaging in physical combat only when his opponent is in the twilight of their existence or when sufficiently provoked, all the while projecting an air of haughty arrogance, taking perverse delight in elongating the contest purely to savor the unmistakable scent of fear emanating from his adversary.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Stealth Mastery: Stalked Puss in Boots throughout the whole movie without the latter ever noticing him, with Death only being seen when it wants to

Fear Manipulation: Death can induce such profound fear in its adversaries that they experience flashbacks from their past. Puss demonstrated in the face of death that his mere appearance was enough to instill fear.

Sickle Proficiency: His mastery of the dual sickles he wields is arguably his signature ability. During battles, he wields his sickles with lethal force, slicing through wood and metal with ease. Additionally, when he encounters a formidable opponent, he can combine his sickles into a dual-headed glaive. Death not only matches but also surpasses Puss' swordsmanship, to the extent that he is the only known individual to have ever drawn blood from Puss using a blade.

Fire Manipulation: In the second match between Puss and Death, Death created a formidable wall of fire using his sickles, surrounding Puss and making it impossible for him to escape. While Death was able to pass through the wall unharmed, Puss was hesitant to touch it, and Perrito was pushed away by its force. Death had imbued the wall with his weapon's power, causing Puss's clothes to catch fire when he was hit. Death had created the wall to corner Puss and force him to choose between fighting or using his wish for more lives. Although Death had hoped Puss would pick the fight, Puss eventually realized the true value of life and decided to engage in battle. Despite its offensive nature, Puss also considered using the wall defensively in the future.

Standard Equipment:

Twin Sickles: The Sickles are a matching pair, appearing as curved blades with handles that fold inward to the blades' cruxes when not in use.

double bladed glaive: The handles can be connected at their pommels and extended to join the weapons together into a double-ended glaive, as Death revealed in his final duel with Puss.
