The Forest King (森林王, Shinrin-ō) was a Dragon-level Mysterious Being who ruled over the Forest Tribe and wanted to return the lost greenery to Earth at the cost of the humans inhabiting it. He was killed by Genos.[1]
Appearance[]
The Forest King was a large and monstrous-looking tree creature, standing several stories high and had what appeared to be another face in his abdomen and several thick branches covering his body that acted as his limbs. His own face sported five pitch-black eyes and a mouth full of hole-like openings.[2]
Personality[]
The Forest King saw humans as nothing more than mere fertilizer that his kind needed in order to carry on his scheme of returning the lost greenery to Earth.[2]
Plot[]
Neo Heroes Saga[]
Neo Heroes Introduction Arc[]
After multiple heroes of the Hero Association fought and harmed his followers, the Forest King himself confronts the heroes, and easily defeats and captures them. As he is about to feed them as fertilizer to his kind, Genos shows up, and annihilates his entire army before proceeding to defeat the Forest King himself.[2]
Abilities and Powers[]
As a Dragon-level threat, Forest King was very powerful. He could single-handedly defeat many professional heroes of the Hero Association with little to no effort, including the S-Class hero Tanktop Master, with the heroes being impotent against him.[2] However, Genos, with his new upgrades following the Monster Association incident, was capable of eradicating Forest King.

Immense Durability: The Forest King possesses immense toughness, being durable enough to withstand a powerful tackle from Tanktop Master, an S-Class hero with great physical strength, without apparent damage.
