King Boo (HC)

The finished design for King Boo in the Super Mario AU! owo

King Boo in this AU isn't a villain and instead a god; the god of death to be specific. Like all gods (for example, Rosalina), he has little spirits to help him with his job, which is what the regular Boos are; instead of the souls of the dead, they are his little helpers who aid in ferrying the recently deceased to Evershade Valley.

As the creator of Boos, he is effectively their "father", and he treats them as his children. Just as well; Boos are generally childlike and playful, but painfully shy; if they're caught sight of, they try to hide by covering their faces with the impression of "if I can't see them, they can't see me!"

King Boo in this AU is far more friendly, and has a partnership with Luigi, who also aids in ferrying and retrieving lost souls from the mortal realm.

Because I wanted to make him much more approachable I designed him with a humanoid form, though like Rosalina he has set forms he can also shift into. One of which is his "fully boo" form, and another is an entirely human form to blend in with mortals upon visits. :)
