Shukaku-Nii (Puppet)

Shukaku-Ani (守鶴兄, Literally meaning: Brother Shukaku) is a puppet, created by Kankurō, as an academy graduation gift for his niece Usubi. It resembles the one-tails, Shukaku, with bright amber eyes and hingable jaw. Usubi typically keeps Shukaku-Nii sealed in a large scroll on her hip, however, as she begins her missions she will summon him and kept him attached like a backpack. Because of Kankurō's enjoyment in installing mechanisms into his puppets, and at the behest of his brother and sister-in-law, Shukaku is very offensive, having numerous concealed weapons.

Shukaku-Nii's Arsenal

 * Several poison-coated projectiles such as kunai or senbon.
 * Smoke bombs launchers in the arms in order to blind its opponents. The smokescreens can be made up of poisonous gas to serve a secondary purpose.
 * Several blades hidden in the tail.
 * Hidden claw-like knives.
 * Hidden giant, poisoned needle in its mouth.
 * Any of its body parts are detachable for separate attacks.
 * Apparently has some kind of recording device on its eyes, similar to what Kankuro used in the Chunin Exams with Karasu.
