STORO

This is the next in a series of characters that I am making for a customer that come from the various Kirby Games. Storo is a member of the Squeaks, debuting in Kirby: Squeak Squad. Due to his giant size and immense strength, he acts as the muscle of Daroach's gang. He is also more durable than Spinni and Doc. Storo is a blue, bulky, bipedal mouse-like creature. He wears a red bandana and a red sleeveless shirt, but does not wear clothing anywhere else. He has a mouse-like face, with a circular, black snout, a single tooth extending out of his mouth, and large ears. Both of Storo's eyes are concealed by the bandana, in addition to the eyepatch he wears on his left eye. Finally, Storo has a navel, two arms and hands, two stubby feet with three toes each, and no tail.
