Dark Heroes

The Dark Heroes (「ダークヒーロー」^?; dāku hīrō, transliterated from English "Dark Hero") are one of the three main antagonists in Patapon 3. They are the evil counterparts of the Uberhero Patapon. They have the same structure and wear masks like the Uberheroes. They are a lot stronger than other enemies and are able to go into "Dark Hero Mode". Each Dark Hero represents one of the Seven Golden Virtues (depending on which of the Seven Archfiends they represent), but also one of the Seven Deadly Sins (depending of theyre respective past, personality, or both). The Patapons will battle them in several stages called Versus Mode, which includes Flag Battles, Race Battles, and Missile Battles.

It is revealed during the game that Miss Covet-Hiss and Sonarchy summoned the Seven Archfiends so that they could use their powers to exact revenge upon the Patapons for completely wiping out their dynasty. As hinted by Silver Hoshipon, each spirit will have their own individual domain.

After the player beats the game and picks the first ending, the Dark Heroes will become available for play in Dark Hero Mode. Dark Heroes are level 31 at the start, each with 117000 EXP. The Dark Heroes each have their own Class and Set Skills. You will also be able to obtain special weapons such as Scythes and Claws.

Madfang Ragewolf[]

Ragewolf (「ぶちぎれファンギル」^?; Buchigire Fangiru) is the Dark Hero of Valor, the first Dark Hero to be faced by the Patapons, representing Rage. He wields two claws and wears a red mask shaped like a wolf's head. Silver Hoshipon tells you that Ragewolf once gave his soul over to the Dark Ones to avenge his friend, who died because of Patapons. He also has a very strong hatred for the Patapons. These traits may suggest that Ragewolf may actually have previously been the Zigoton soldier, Makoton.

Ragewolf's Dark Hero mode is called "Drill Punch", and it involves him dealing powerful rapid punches that usually have a high critical rate.

Naughtyfins[]

Naughtyfins (「みだらなフィーナ」^?; Midarana Fīna) is the Dark Hero of Purity, the second Dark Hero to be seen, representing Lust. She is a female Dark Hero who wears a light blue mask shaped like a fish. She wields pikes as her main weapons, but can also be seen wielding Halberds and Spears. When Uberhero hugs her, Naughtyfins' true identity is revealed as the Patapon Princess.

Her Dark Hero mode is called "Please Freeze", and it involves her jumping high into the air and throwing her pike, freezing all in her range.

Gluttonous Buzzcrave[]

The Fifth Dark Hero revealed. Buzzcrave (「おおぐいバズズー」^?; Ōgui Bazuzū), the Dark Hero of Restraint, wears a purple mask shaped like a fly. He represents Gluttony. Buzzcrave wields pikes and lances as weapons, and always rides his trustworthy warhorse Ponteo.

His Dark Hero mode is called "Burning Fly", which summons twenty flame flies which seek out their target and dive-bomb them like angry torpedoes.

Slow-moving Slogturtle[]

The Sixth Dark Hero revealed, Slogturtle (「ぐうたらカラパシ」^?; Gūtara Karapashi), the Dark Hero of Adamance, represents Indolence. Slogturtle wears a mask shaped like a turtle with small, circular eyes similar to Naughtyfins' inside a carapace. He wields Greatshields.

His Dark Hero mode is called "Anti-Magic". He summons a turtle-shell-like barrier to block non-melee and magic attacks (similar to Guardira's Hero mode).

Miss Covet-Hiss[]

The seventh and final Dark Hero revealed, Miss Covet-Hiss (「やきもちコイール」^?; Yakimochi Koīru), the Dark Hero of Tolerance, representing Jealousy. Covet-Hiss wears a black mask shaped like a snake with four red diamonds on both cheeks, and wields Cannons, Howitzers, and Lasers.
