Nyan

Nyan (ニャーン, Nyān; Viz: Nyaan) is a Dragon-level Mysterious Being and an executive member of the Monster Association.

Appearance
Nyan has the appearance of an anthropomorphic cat-like monster, with light colored fur and a choker with a bell attached to it. He has horizontal stripes across his back and tail with three vertical stripes crossing his forehead to the back of his head.

Personality
Nyan, due to being an executive member of the Monster Association and a Dragon level threat, is very arrogant. He enjoys watching other monsters fulfill their lust for revenge, and eagerly allows them to do as they please. This stems from the fact that he became a monster to live the life he wants and do whatever he wants. However, when Puri Puri Prisoner began evolving and preached concepts of love, he began to feel uneasy, being reminded of the love forced upon him by his former master. This could indicate that he has a soft spot or mental weakness against opponents who openly display love, but whether his fighting abilities are hindered against such opponents remains unclear.

History
In the past, Nyan was just a regular house cat who disliked the love forced onto him by his female owner. She gave the cat a lot of affection via kissing and hugging. The cat later become a monster at some point and left his owner, becoming a member of the Monster Association.

Monster Raid Arc
Nyan broke into Smelly Lid Prison to find Puri-Puri-Prisoner, but he wasn't there. Nyan instead decided to do business with the prisoners.

Super Fight Arc
Nyan later transformed many prisoners into monsters using the Monster Cells and they all broke out of prison.

Monster Association Arc
Nyan instructs the monsterized prisoners about their roles in the upcoming battle against the Hero Association, and allows them to try to get payback against Puri-puri Prisoner. Afterwards, he takes a short nap.

Nyan and the other executives of the Monster Association are summoned by Gyoro Gyoro for an as-of-yet unknown reason.

Later, Nyan is seen attacking Puri-Puri Prisoner. When he senses that it will be difficult to fight him due to his loving nature and adapting during battle, he chooses to flee and let other cadres deal with him. However, the hero catches up to him and prepares to fight him.

Abilities and Powers
Nyan is an executive member of the Monster Association, and was strong enough to subdue the prisoners and officers at the Smelly Lid Prison.

Nyan is shown to be extremely strong. This is further supported by the fact that he was the only other monster in the Monster Association besides fellow Disaster Level Dragon Gouketsu to be tasked with recruiting new members during the initial monster raid. He attacks with his sharp claws and can easily injure S-class heroes.

Physical Abilities
Immense Strength: Nyan was easily able to tear Puri-Puri Prisoner's skin with his Feline Retribution attack. Nyan subsequently yawned, indicating the ease in which he injured the hero. However, it should be noted that it did not affect the S-class hero's speed or prowess, although this can be attributed to the hero's durability and pain tolerance.

Supernatural Dexterity: Nyan can easily pass through any crack more than 3 mm wide.

Immense Speed: Nyan was able to outspeed Puri-Puri Prisoner while the former chased him through a wall, as well as being able to attack him several times before he can even react.

Fighting Style
As expected of his feline nature, Nyan attacks using his claws as his main weapon, like a cat, and also moves around in battle very similar to a cat.
 * Feline Retribution (猫罰, Nekobatsu): Nyan scratches the opponent, leaving deep cuts. This was first seen being used against Puri-Puri Prisoner.

Trivia

 * Nyan's supernatural dexterity is a reference to a cat's ability to pass through narrow openings, although in this case, it is significantly amplified.
