Rafflesidon

Rafflesidon (ラフレシドン, Rafureshidon; Viz: Lafreshidon) was a Mysterious Being that appears to assist Senior Centipede in fighting Metal Bat.

Appearance
Raffleisdon bears a great resemblance to the rafflesia flower albeit with slightly more rounded features. However, despite his great resemblance to the flower, he has two eyes with completely black sclera and white irises. He has a bulbous nose with a wood like texture to it. He also has many of his roots sticking out in several directions.

Personality
It is rather calculating when it comes to battle, relying mostly on others to distract an opponent while Rafflesidon releases gases to manipulate the battleground.

Monster Raid Arc
After Senior Centipede knocked Metal Bat and the Heroes Association's sponsor and the sponsor's child outside of the restaurant, Rafflesidon emerged from the sewers and started releasing sleeping gas. The sponsor and the sponsor's child immediately fall unconscious. Rafflesidon and Senior Centipede are left to fight Metal Bat.

While Senior Centipede and Rafflesidon fight Metal Bat, Rafflesidon is able to get Metal Bat into a hypnotic state. However, Metal Bat eventually comes out the hypnotic state after bonking himself, much to Rafflesidon's surprise. Rafflesidon is then defeated by Metal Bat with one strike.

Physical Abilities
Releasing Gases: Rafflesidon has the ability to release various types of gases. One type of gas that Rafflesidon releases is sleeping gas, which causes people to become unconscious moments after inhaling it.

Fighting Style
Hypnosis: It uses its various types of gases in combat to hypnotize its opponents.
 * Hypno Scent (催眠香, Saimin Kō): Rafflesidon is able to release gas that causes hypnosis. However, the victim is able to retain some control over his/her actions and is able to escape the hypnosis state by causing injury to his or her own head.

Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Despite mainly being a supporting role in battle, Rafflesidon is still decently skilled in close-quarters combat and will engage in such scenarios with its vines.

Trivia

 * Raffleisdon's name may come from the similarly named rafflesia flower.
