Background

Gang Bao began as a Little Steel Falcon, but its evolution into the Steel Guardian Falcon did not match any known form in the database. The other Little Steel Falcons reacted with shock, while Qiao Sang concluded that the transformation was likely a rare Bond Evolution 1078.

Its evolutionary line is especially unusual: it is the only recorded Flying-and-Steel-type Pet Beast on Superstar Planet whose entire chain through King level consists of Bond Evolutions. Because only one specimen was registered, the database could not provide comprehensive species information 168.

Gang Bao's repeated evolutions brought public attention to the Little Steel Falcon species. After revealing Holy Sword in the Regional Tournament, it became a trending topic, fulfilling its wish to make a name for its species 526.

Appearance

Gang Bao's appearance changes substantially between forms. Its Advanced Steel Guardian Falcon form is a towering purple-feathered bird with protruding fangs, silver-white neck projections, pale-purple eye markings, and facial armor 1322. In its King-level Steel Chieftain Kain form, its body is covered in hard purple armor, with silver turbine-like devices above its wings and a helmet with conical protrusions 1111.

• Dark-red irises with purple pupils in its Steel Chieftain Kain form 1111
• Steel-like purple feathers and silver-white facial armor as an Advanced Steel Guardian Falcon 1322
• Can grow beyond forty metres while manifesting an Emperor-level form 157
• Uses a Miniature Shrinking Bracelet to reduce itself to approximately its Little Steel Falcon size 822

Personality

Gang Bao is calm, observant, and exceptionally responsible. It notices Qiao Sang's condition during training, fetches water and a cool towel when she is in pain, and understands household tasks without extensive instruction 975 1015.

It is also fiercely determined. While training Absolute Defense, Gang Bao continued despite exhaustion because it wanted to meet the standard needed to descend Void Cliff sooner 135. It is willing to endure pain and even use risky self-damaging techniques when necessary, but it generally follows Qiao Sang's judgment without hesitation 918 1426.

Despite its reserved demeanor, Gang Bao has a dry sense of humor and a talent for deception. It successfully feigned poisoning to leave a suspicious group, then later pretended to be unconscious inside Mirror World to create an opening against Mirror Spirit 158 1448.
