Bug God

Bug God (蟲神, Mushigami) was a Demon-level Mysterious Being from the Monster Association.

Appearance

Like his name would suggest, Bug God resembles a humanoid bug. His height is nearly the same as Superalloy Darkshine's, and he also has a very muscular body. He has many insect-like traits, such as five eyes, two antennae, two large incisors on his face, two smaller incisors, 2 extra pairs of arms as well as a tough carapace that grants him high levels of durability. In his transformed state, he becomes even larger in size, revealing two extra sets of arms and some wings. His body becomes darker and even more muscular, and he gains several spikes on his shoulders and knees. His pupils become black, and his irises glow very brightly.

Personality

Bug God holds a lot of confidence in his abilities as a combatant. He believed that he would be able to defeat Superalloy Darkshine and that his strength would be leagues above what Darkshine was capable of, although that was proven wrong when Darkshine withstood his rush and killed him with one blow. Like most monsters, he is very sadistic, as shown when he taunted Superalloy Darkshine, telling him that he would turn his muscles into bug food. Gyoro Gyoro also stated that Bug God is among one of the more headstrong monsters in the Monster Association. He strongly believes in the superiority of monsters and the necessity of them to abandon their humanity, as such, he sees Garou as a pathetic fraud of a monster for not killing any humans during his hero hunt. He is also extremely arrogant and reckless, fighting Superalloy Darkshine by himself and continuing to fight even after seeing how Superalloy Darkshine withstood his attacks with no damage.

Plot

Human Monster Saga

Monster Association Arc

Bug God Sneak — Bug God pummels Garou after he is distracted by Tareo's kidnapping.

He and Royal Ripper are sent by Gyoro Gyoro to follow Garou. After observing Garou for a whole day, Bug God and Royal Ripper confronted Garou on whether he was truly a monster or merely playing as one. For proof of Garou's conviction as a monster, Bug God and Royal Ripper demanded that Garou kill Tareo. After Garou's refusal, Bug God and Royal Ripper fought Garou. Bug God expressed surprise at Garou's durability and combat skills despite being only a human. However after defeating Garou due to the distraction caused by Tareo's abduction, despite being under orders not to kill Garou, Bug God was not able to stop Royal Ripper from inflicting severe damage to Garou. Together with Royal Ripper, Sludge Jellyfish, and Tareo, they leave Garou behind.

Bug God's Death

Bug God is again seen fighting Superalloy Darkshine, throwing several punches at him while the hero blocks the attacks with his elbows. Bug God asks Superalloy Darkshine why he isn't fighting back, and the hero replies by saying that he had high expectations for a monster such as Bug God, only to express disappointment in the monster for failing to fulfill any of them. Bug God is angered by these remarks, transforming and revealing two extra pairs of arms he'd been hiding, and attacks Superalloy Darkshine once again, shouting that he would turn Superalloy Darkshine's muscles into bug food. However, the hero doesn't even attempt to defend himself, tanking all of his blows like nothing. His entire upper body is blown apart by only a single punch from the hero.

Abilities and Powers

As a Demon level monster from the Monster Association, Bug God has displayed impressive strength and durability and was able to cause considerable trouble for Garou in their fight. However, he was unable to damage Superalloy Darkshine whatsoever, even in his transformed state.

Physical Abilities

Immense Strength: A single punch from his fists was enough to send Garou flying and incapacitate him when he had let his guard down. His punches were also strong enough and fast enough to leave steam from areas where he punched Superalloy Darkshine.

Immense Speed & Reflexes: As a Demon-level monster, Bug God's speed is naturally high; the speed at which he threw his punches, combined with their strength, were fast enough to put Garou on the defensive and even hit him on several occasions. He also demonstrated to be fast enough to stop Royal Ripper's rampage by catching one of his blades.

Bug God's Transformation

Immense Durability: Bug God's tough carapace is durable enough to withstand Garou's punches and even left Garou's hand injured after the hit.^[1] It also withstood Royal Ripper's attacks deflected by Garou with no apparent damage.^[2]

Transformation: Bug God can transform into a more menacing form with two additional pairs of arms, a set of wings, and a more spiky visage and design. This further enhances his already high durability and attack power. Despite this, he was finished off in a single hit by Superalloy Darkshine without much effort.^[3]

Flight: Although never actually seen flying, it's likely that he has the ability to fly, since he has a pair of wings hidden underneath his exoskeleton.

Quotes

"Monsters have abandoned their humanity. They're beings that are apart from the human world."^[4]
