Rafflesidon

Rafflesidon (ラフレッドン, Rafureddon) was a Mysterious Being that appears to assist Senior Centipede, who is 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 Metal Bat with one strike.
