"Easy on the egg rolls, my man!" ― Gex

Locozuna
Locozunas are enemies encountered exclusively in the Sumo City level of Kung Fuville in Gex.
Design and inspiration[]

The Locozunas display the stereotypical obese physique commonly associated with sumo wrestlers. The character also retains other traditional aspects from its inspiration including a chonmage-style haircut and a green-colored mawashi-wrestling belt, a piece of clothing used by low ranking rikishis in reality, which serves as its only garment. They also walk in a permanent Shiko Dachi stance, in which the user separates its legs in similar fashion to horse riding and which is often only used as a salute and display of respect when beginning a sumo bout.
Behaviour and strategy[]
Slow moving and large, the character more closely resembles a moving obstacle rather than an actual enemy. Locozunas can't be killed and are only knocked down when attacked. While lying on their backs, Gex can use their stomach as a trampoline to reach higher platforms.
