Oboroqoru, as His name implies, is the "god" of apes. He appears to be worshipped by members of the apes faction, as well as by the villagers of Kyakukya. Within, a can be found that is tended to by faithful. These worshippers adhere to a rite that involves scrubbing their face regularly with water in order to keep it clean, hoping that by "presenting unsullied faces to the idol of their ape god", they will "propitiate him and garner his favor and protection". Additionally, while they allow vines and overgrowth to take to Oboroqoru's statue, they make a point to clear it away where it "has threatened to obscure Oboroqoru's gentle countenance".

states that he owed his initial acceptance by the villagers of Kyakukya to "the countenance [he] share[s]" with Oboroqoru.

Whether Oboroqoru is an actual god, or if "god" is simply a title, is uncertain.

Location


Oboroqoru can be found in His lair, which will be located in a random tile generally not far east of Kyakukya. The lair is considered a holy place for apes, and thus any members of the apes faction who reside there (including Oboroqoru Himself) will be hostile to a player who is not at least favored by apes.

Oboroqoru's lair extends 9 strata below the surface. Each strata of the lair will consist of a single, jungle-like zone filled with, , , and. Each zone will be populated with various members of the apes and baboons factions, including, , , , , and. Each zone also has a 45% chance to contain a containing 2-4 items from Junk 7. The bottom of the lair will always contain Oboroqoru Himself, as well as a chest containing 2-4 items from Junk 6.

The location of Oboroqoru's lair is a secret that can be learned through various methods, most notably by performing the water ritual with legendary apes. Albino apes also have a small chance to spawn as "pilgrims" who will attempt to travel to the lair; the player can potentially follow these pilgrims to discover the lair's location.

Combat
Oboroqoru will begin hostile to the player due to His lair being considered a holy place for apes, and the player's insufficient reputation with the apes faction. The player can make Oboroqoru friendly by gaining sufficient reputation with apes, but He will still become hostile if the player attacks him or any apes within view of Him.

Mighty Fists
Oboroqoru attacks in melee with His, of which He possesses 6. Each fist is a natural cudgel weapon that deals damage and will have a penetration value of 22 due to His immense Strength.

Skills
Oboroqoru possesses every skill in the Cudgel skill tree, serving to make His fists even more deadly. These allow Oboroqoru to Slam the player as well as inflict them with dazed and stunned, among other things.

Oboroqoru also possesses every skill from the Dual Wield tree, though only His upper left hand will benefit from the passive effects of these skills due to His extra arms being granted by the Multiple Arms mutation. He does gain use of the Flurry ability, however.

Mutations
Oboroqoru possesses a special version of the Multiple Arms mutation at mutation level 1, which grants him 4 additional arms instead of 2. He also possesses Thick Fur, which slightly boosts his heat resistance and cold resistance.

Properties
Oboroqoru does not randomly wander, and will usually never move voluntarily unless He becomes hostile towards a creature, in which case He will move to attack them.

If the player kills Oboroqoru, the reputation penalties and bonuses they will receive with Oboroqoru's related factions will be far greater than other legendary creatures, roughly 4 times the normal amount. This means the player will receive about -800 reputation with factions that loved Oboroqoru, -400 with factions that liked Him, +400 with factions that disliked Him, and +800 with factions that hated Him.

On death, Oboroqoru has a 100% chance to drop the instead of a corpse.

Water Ritual
