Zenzoo the flying baku - Funkyipuppet FIP Collectable Card 005



Name: Zenzoo (short for Zumay, his original name when he was formless)
Species: Baku Yokai
Origin: Summoned by the Sennin wizard yokai Benzoo

Backstory:

Zenzoo was originally a forest Kodama, a guardian spirit of trees and nature, shielding the land from the creeping tide of industrialization. When his brother Kobu was summoned into form as a Baku Yokai to counteract Atomikkan’s corruptive nightmare influence, Benzoo realized one Baku alone was not enough. Zenzoo was brought into form next, designed with winged ears that could detect and cleanse higher frequencies of corrupted energy.


Together, Kobu and Zenzoo fought against the nightmare plague, devouring bad dreams to protect children. However, with no elder Baku to guide them, the toxic nightmares began to distort their essence—Zenzoo, being more sensitive, suffered the most.


When Atomikkan detonated the inspirited frequencies, shattering Earth’s spiritual balance, Zenzoo lost his way entirely. Without direction, he was carried into the sky by a mighty crane, only to be swept into a high-tech interdimensional barge captained by Symphonu. There, he was reunited with Kobu and brought to 96542, where Rah welcomed them into The Outpost as part of the growing Baku family.


Now, under Symphonu’s mentorship, Zenzoo struggles to regain his Baku way. He remains curious, a bit bratty, and sometimes emotionally overwhelmed, but his heart is deeply aligned with the Senpai arts of dream-weaving and energy cleansing.


Superpower: Dream Alchemy

Zenzoo possesses the unique ability to consume and transform nightmares into creative inspiration. Unlike traditional Baku who simply "eat" bad dreams, Zenzoo's Dream Alchemy allows him to weave nightmare fragments into stories, songs, and artistic visions, turning darkness into light. This power remains unstable, requiring training under Symphonu’s guidance.


Signature Move: Harmonic Resonance

Zenzoo unfolds his winged ears, releasing a resonant frequency that purges corrupted dream energy. This vibrational cleanse has the power to break nightmare loops, neutralize emotional suppression, and even temporarily freeze Atomikkan’s lingering specters. When fully realized, this move will allow him to reset the frequency of an entire dreamscape.


Attributes:

  • Telepathy – Can read dream energies and subconscious thoughts.

  • Telekinesis – Can manipulate dream fragments, reshaping their form.

  • Teleportation – Moves freely between dreamscapes and astral planes.

  • Dream Guardian – Natural ability to enter and influence dreams.

  • Empathic Absorption – Feels emotions and energy imbalances deeply, sometimes too deeply.

  • High-Frequency Tuning – His winged ears allow him to detect and cleanse spiritual pollution.

  • Senpai Disciple – Trains under Symphonu in the poetic ritual arts of dream-weaving.


Meet zenzoo the flying baku:

Zenzoo is playful, deeply imaginative, and craves inspiration. He idolizes Symphonu, seeing him as a father figure, and aspires to master the Senpai arts of dream-weaving. Despite his strength, he often succumbs to emotional overload, struggling to process the nightmare energies he absorbs. He is restless and impatient, wanting to master his powers instantly, yet his journey requires deep patience and practice.


When overwhelmed, he seeks comfort in storytelling, poetry, and music, often playing with the Kapoa Djays to turn dream remnants into rhythmic dreamscapes. He is also known for his mischievous streak, occasionally using his powers in unpredictable, humorous ways.


His ultimate goal is to fully master his Dream Alchemy and restore balance to the dream worlds corrupted by Atomikkan's nightmare legacy.


Motto:

"Clear the way, weave the dream, let the light break through the seams."


Signature Move: Dreamquake Reverb

Zenzoo channels his Dream Alchemy into a powerful Dreamquake Reverb—a pulsating sonic shockwave that ripples through the astral and physical planes. His winged ears amplify harmonic frequencies, creating a resonance burst that shatters nightmare constructs, neutralizes corrupted energies, and even forces enemies to confront their own subconscious fears.


When unleashed at full power, Dreamquake Reverb can rebuild shattered dreams, restore lost memories, and even summon echoes of ancient inspirited frequencies that once shaped the cosmos. However, due to his ongoing recovery, he doesn’t always control the intensity—sometimes causing unexpected dream distortions or pulling long-forgotten entities from the astral depths.
