Guntz (ガンツ Gantsu, also known as Gantz) is a wolf in the Klonoa series who made his first appearance in Klonoa 2: Dream Champ Tournament. He is a legendary bounty hunter with a very short temper, and he is somewhat aggressive and arrogant. Guntz is sometimes referred to as The Golden Killer, or the Golden Death. He uses a variety of guns and firearms to attack, and he often travels in a red hover-bike called Red Clan.
Personality[]
Due to the nature of Guntz's childhood, he's allowed himself to become more of a loner and looks down those he deems weak. Thus, he doesn't interact with others very well. This was shown in the Dream Tournament where coldly looked down on Klonoa, Lolo, Popka and Chipple, much to their individual irritation. He also shown a duplicitous side as he made a deal with Garlen in kidnapping Lolo to defeat Klonoa in battle. Ironically, he was double-crossed himself and was nearly made a captive by the very man he made a deal with.
When he realized his actions, Guntz showed regret and freed Klonoa and helped him in defeating Garlen though he said he didn't care, most likely out of pride. He made off with the money but left Klonoa with the tournament's trophy possibly as sign of peace. However, in the ending of the same game and in Beach Volleyball, it is implied that Guntz does care about other people.
When getting to know him, he becomes shy and awkward around females, but is rational and cold towards males. However he's shown to be a very loyal friend, even if he prefers to keep others at a distance. He's also been known to have a very short temper. In Namco x Capcom and Klonoa Heroes alike, he is shown to swear and curse a lot, especially at Janga, his arch-enemy.
