Background / History

Xiong Da first encounters Song Ren during the Great Zombie Era while fleeing a Bronze Armored Corpse that began pursuing him after he robbed a tomb. He initially demands that Song Ren become his mount, but immediately prostrates himself after Song Ren fells a tree and reveals his overwhelming presence. He introduces himself as Song Ren’s “most loyal mount.” 471

After being accepted, Xiong Da joins Wangcai and ikun as one of Song Ren’s demon subordinates. Though he fears powerful enemies and tries to evade responsibility, he fights alongside the other two against the Bronze Armored Corpse, attacking opportunistically from the rear. 472

Following the mission, Song Ren receives Xiong Da’s Character Card. The system describes him as a grave-robbing, timid troublemaker despite his claims of courage and loyalty. 483

Appearance

Xiong Da is a large, chubby Iron Eater Beast with prominent dark eye circles. In battle, he can assume an upright demonic form; he later gains a human guise after absorbing corrupted black mud. 471 499 505

• Beast form — A super-sized black-and-white panda with broad shoulders, a sturdy back, sharp claws, and a deceptively harmless appearance. 504 572
• Demonic form — Stands upright at over two meters tall and can rapidly expand to more than ten meters. 505
• Human form — A plump, rosy-cheeked boy with round glasses and the same dark eye circles. 499
• Modern attire — Has worn a black suit, sunglasses, and other human clothing while accompanying Song Ren in the real world. 517

Personality

Xiong Da is cowardly, opportunistic, and intensely flattering toward Song Ren. He frequently boasts about his courage, loyalty, strength, or expertise, only to panic when confronted by genuine danger. He is particularly obsessed with locating and looting tombs, repeatedly trying to steer missions toward dragon veins and imperial mausoleums. 471 476 483 504

Despite this, he is obedient to Song Ren, quick to assist his fellow subordinates, and unexpectedly capable in a fight. He enthusiastically teaches tomb-raiding knowledge to Sakura Matou and becomes reluctant to leave when their time together ends. 472 500
