Armored Li
During Po's years of training under Master Shifu, he learned not to mess with the kung fu artifacts on display in the Hall of Warriors. (Well... mostly.) Unfortunately, the curiosity apple doesn't fall far from the tree -- ad Li hasn't been in the Valley long enough to learn the lessons his son has learned. It turns out that Master Flying Rhino's armor fits Li remarkably well, and also provides great protection. The armor is likely to have even more authentic battle damage once Li's done with it. Something that probably won't make Master Shifu very happy...

Armored Ping
When Mr. Ping was given the chance to protect Panda Village against Kai's attack, he puts his pots and pans to a more... creative... use, letting his inner hero shine through!

Baby Po
Before he grew into an always-hungry, roly-poly warrior, Po was just an always-hungry, roly-poly baby panda. Found in a crate of radishes, young Po was nurtured through childhood as the adopted son of Mr. Ping, the finest noodle maker in the Valley of Peace. With an appetite for Kung Fu that (almost) rivals his appetite for noodles, Baby Po is a real handful. Because he has no first-hand combat training, Baby Po doesn't have a conventional fighting style. His moves are a comical combination of flailing punches, clumsy body slams, and chomps (everything looks like food to Baby Po). Plus he has the ultimate defense - who would punch that cute face?

Bao
Bao is an adorable pint-sized ball of fun. Like all the panda kids in the hidden Panda Village, he lives a care-free life filled with water slides, hot springs, edible bamboo furniture, and not a single set of stairs in sight. He's also the village ping pong champion.
Although he has some effective fighting moves that he uses in battle, Bao's ost impressive moves are related to his ping pong prowess. By combining Kung Fu with his ping pong skills, Bao is more than capable of paddling his opponents into submission.

Crane
Master Crane is the pragmatist of the group. Reluctant to resort to violence, he's a think first, punch second kind of bird. Although he tries to avoid a fight, if at all possible, Master Crane does everything he can to win the battle once it has begun. The safety of the team is his first priority, and he's willing to risk his life to protect them.
Although he doesn't look very imposing, Crane uses his slender build and his flying ability to perform moves that most of his opponents can't hope to match. What he lacks in bulk, he makes up in maneuverability.

Gorilla Soldier
As if having his evil pack of wolves to do his bidding wasn't enough, She also employs an army of gorillas to work in his favorty and move his giant war cannons.
The Gorilla Soldier is all about size and brute strength. His massive fists pack a real wallop, and he uses his body weight to slam and pound his enemies into submission. While the Gorillas are familiar with Kung Fu andd skilled with weaponry, they rarely neeed either. Ferocious and intimidating, they strike so much fear in their opponents that the battle is often over before it even begins.

Jombie Porcupine
Master Porcupine is a respected kung fu master who was defeated by Kai, The Collector. Kai absorbed Porcupine's chi and transformed him into one the Jade Warriors. Kai is able to physically control the Jade Warriors and see through their eyes even at great distances. Now a mindless jade zombie -- or jombie -- Porcupine is a dangerous enemy whose only goal is to serve his new master.
|

|
Kai
Long ago, the fearsome and power-hungry warrior Kai found a way to take chi from others, until he was banished to the Spirit Realm for all eternity. Now, Kai has returned to earth, where his appetite for power and revenge leads to an incredible showdown and battle with Po.

Li
Think about who Po would be if the discipline of Kung Fu had never entered hislife - and that's Li. Po's old man is aloud exuberant party loving panda always out for a good time, whether that's eating and napping or napping and eating.
|

Master Bear
Master Bear puts the "brute" in "brute strength." His fighting style isn't very complex, but that's because it doesn't have to be. His combination of speed and strength generated incredible power. Evasion isn't his style -- he's the type of Master who charges first and thinks later. Master Bear knows only one direction: forward. He neutralizes any attack before establishing position, and always takes the most deliberate, direct approach. His hardy build allows him to take on a lot of damage, and dish out even more.

Master Boar
Once a member of the Master's Council, Master Boar was imprisoned when Shen invaded Gongmen City. At the time, he was resigned to his fate and saw no point in helping Po and the Furious Five. After Shen's defeat, Master Boar realized the error in his ways and decided to get back to what he does best - being a Kung Fu Master.
Boar's fighting style is powerful and primal. He punches and kicks with the best of them, but his most fearsome attack is his charge. He can fling enemies high in the air and butt them into oblivion with his tusks. It's the height of fun to see him humiliate his enemies by tossing them around like ragdolls... that is unless you happen to be his enemy.

|
Master Chicken
Ironically, Master Chicken is a Kung Fu Master who isn't afraid of anything. His fighting style takes advantage of his diminutive size and low center of gravity. From a low crouch he can spring into any combination of attacks, utilizing various sweep kicks and jump kicks -- not to mention his deadly lethal "Claws of Chaos" and "Blinding Beak" technique. Master Chicken's style combines the speed of Master Mantis' legendary "thingy" attack with the grace of Master Crane.

Master Croc
Master Croc was once the head of the infamous Wool Stealing Crocodile Bandits of Crocodile Island - a gang of criminals unmatched in their mischief. Anyone foolish enough to stand in Croc's way was dispatched with his Legendary Lashing Tail of Terror technique... that is, until the day that Croc crossed paths with Master Thundering Rhino in their epic battle on the shores of the Wa Su Li River. After Croc was defeated, Master Rhino asked him to use his Kung Fu skills for good. Croc was so moved by Master Rhino's compassion that he quit his criminal ways and roamed China, righting wrongs and protecting the weak. He eventually came to sit at Rhino's side as a member of the Kung Fu Council.
Croc uses his unique anatomy to his advantage, interspersing his punches and kicks with powerful slams and sweeps with his tail. His tough skin acts as a natural armor, and his agility belies his size and bulk.

Master Storming Ox
Master Storming Ox is Master Thundering Rhino's greatest pupil. As a youngster, he skipped his cores, sneaking through Gongmen City into the palace to watch Master Rhino spar. Master Rhino rewarded the young Ox's enthusiasm by training him in Kung Fu. Often hotheaded, favoring action over contemplation, Ox proved to be a cosntant challenge for his old Master. But he became a loyal friend and trusted member of the Kung Fu Council, which protects the citizens of Gongmen City.
As if being huge and intimidating wasn't enough, Storming Ox is armed with a pair of axes that he wields with expert skill and surprising speed. Between these constantly-moving blades and Storming Ox's powerful stomp attack, enemies find him to be a dangerous and difficult opponent.

Mei Mei
In a village of easy going pandas who would literally rather roll than walk, Mei Mei stands out as a rare, results-oriented type of panda. When she wants something, she gets it no matter what. So when a handsome new panda named Po arrives in the panda village, she sets her sights on him and will not be denied.
But underneath all that intensity and drive to succeed hides an insecure, overcompensating girl who just needs to channel all that energy into discovering who she is really meant to be. Mei Mei's hyper, enthusiastic, and smothering charm is on full display when she enters the combat arena. She's out to overpower her opponents with her pent-up affections... and with a few solid slaps from her fan (which makes a surprisingly good weapon when wielded by the right panda).

Monkey
Mischievous, playful and enthusiastic, Master Monkey likes a good joke, but his easy-going attitude masks a cunning martial arts ability. More street smart than the rest of the Furious Five, Monkey is an unpredictable prankster who is as fierce as he is clever and funny. While he likes to goof off as much as Po, in a fight Monkey always has your back.
With his distinctive style of Kung Fu fighting, Monkey's unpredictable moves and unique personality always keeps his attackers guessing. Monkey's style is acrobatic, playful, comical, unpredictable, quick, and energetic. He confuses his enemies by striking at will from any position with speed, deception, and agility - with blows from his feet, tail, and bo staff, his attacks seem to come from everywhere, all at once.

Mr. Ping
Mr. Ping may have lost his best (and only) employee to Kung Fu greatness, but he couldn't be more proud of his panda son. In fact, Mr. Ping decked out the noodle shop in honor of Po's epic exploits. But like any parent whose child has left the nest, Mr. Ping worries about being forgotten. Therefore he makes sure to always have extra helpings of bean buns ready to feed his always-hungry Kung Fu warrior son when ever he stops by.
Mr. Ping's self-styled "Noodle Fu" technique is... unique... to say the least. He uses the tools of his trade - kitchen tools and food - as well as his small size, clumsy agility, and strong desire to live to cook another day - to serve up a main course of defeat with a side of humiliation to his opponents.

Oogway
It takes a wise and enlightened soul to create Kung Fu -- and Master Oogway did just that. The former warrior became the spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace, and dedicated his life to protecting the small and the vulnerable. He spent his life dispensing advice and shepherding the land's inhabitants along the pat to peace and enlightenment. Although he has moved on from our realm, his wisdom (although cryptic at times) continues to be the guiding philosophy of the Valley of Peace today as it has for over 1000 years.
For someone his age, Oogway is surprisingly agile. As the creator of Kung Fu, he is skilled in all forms of fighting, so every move he makes - whether bare-handed or sing his trusty staff - is applied with great skill.
To the casual observer, it might be amusing to watch a thousand-year-old turtle perform intricate Kung Fu moves... but none of his opponents are laughing.

Po
Freshly plucked from his duties as apprentice noodle maker at his dad's shop, Po is now the most legendary fighter in all of China. But despite all the adulation, Po is the same humble panda he always was. As a fan boy, he is just as likely to stare slack-jawed at the Furious Five's Kung Fu moves as he is to dish out awesome moves of his own. Though he is living his dream of fighting alongside the most legendary warriors of the Kung Fu world, Po's journey is not complete. Every day comes with new challenges and responsibilities Po must face on his way to becoming the best Kung Fu warrior he can be.
Under the tutelage of Master Shifu, Po developed the unique and highly effective Panda Style of Kung Fu - which, to the untrained eye, might seem to be a series of accidents and wildly lucky coincidences. Those who have faced Po in battle know better than to underestimate his skills despite his nearly endless stream of light hearted taunts and banter.

Shen
Lord Shen has come a long way from the sickly albino peacock whose parents deemed him too weak and pitiful to deserve attention. Vowing to accomplish something so great that the world would never ignore him again, Shen relentlessly pursued his lust for power. Through his devious cleverness and the sheer force of his will, he created the most devastating weapon the world has ever known. In spite of all of his efforts, his fate -- as predicted by the Soothsayer --- remained the same. He was defeated at the hands of a black-and-white warrior named Po.
Shen's fighting style is graceful and extremely fast. His attacks are a flurry of claws and feathers, interspersed with jabs and swipes of his ornate spear. The fact that he is small compared to some of his enemies is of little consequence - when he's at his best, it's hard to even get close to him.
|
|
|
Shifu
Even though he has been elevated to Oogway's position as spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace, Shifu is still a few steps shy of enlightenment. Although he tries his best, Master Shifu occasionally struggles under the pressure and responsibility of stepping into such big shoes. Sometimes -- alright, MOST times -- Po's antics still send his old master searching for calm in a cup of hot tea and a meditative chant of "inner peace... inner peace..."
Though small, Shifu is a powerhouse in combat. By honing his focus and precision, he's able to exert his maximum force with minimal effort. His greatest asset is his ability to read his opponents and know what they intend to do. This allows his lightning-fast strikes to target the nerve points of his opponents with great precision. Shifu's elusiveness borders on the mystical. He's capable of appearing when he's least expected within the blink of a eye.

Soothsayer
Blessed with second sight and a generous heart, the Soothsayer is a prisoner of both. Once nanny to a sickly young peacock named Shen, she found herself giving him what his parents withheld -- love. She found that her love tempered the young peacock's growing ambition.
Soothsayer's rather morbid sense of humor is on full display in her rather unlikely fighting style. Although she looks incapable of combat, she swings a mean cane, and manages to humiliate even the most skilled opponent with a well-placed poke or smack. She's also been known to chomp the occasional tunic. (She's a goat. It's her way.)

Su Wu
The Wu Sisters are legendary villains who are among the most formidable opponents in the Kung Fu world. Long ago, they were instrumental in forming a crime syndicate that brought the leaders of all of China's gangs together in an attempt to take over the country. Before they could implement their plan, Masters Rhino, Ox, and Croc showed up at the meeting and scared off the other gang leaders. The Wu Sisters stood their ground and nearly defeated the Masters using their infamous Wu Vortex attack.
Su is the leader of the Wu Sisters, and the most accomplished at individual combat. She uses her Blades and her speed to turn herself into a dangerous whirlwind of Kung Fu prowess. When she subjects her opponents to the Wu Vortex, things can get really ugly fast...

Tai Lung
Tai Lung was found outside the Jade Palace by Master Shifu, who grew to care for him as his adopted son. Shifu's love for the young fighter blinded him to the darkness in Tai Lung's heart. Tai Lung's rampage ended in his defeat at the hands of Master Oogway.
Tai Lung was placed in a maximum security prison, but he managed to escape. He returned to take on his father and take the Dragon Scroll, but was defeated by Po.
Having been taught by Shifu, Tai Lung's fighting skills are among the most formidable in China. Although he's not particularly fast, he is very strong, and he has moves that rival even some of the greatest masters.

|
|
Tigress
Master Tigress is the strongest and boldest of the Furious Five. Basically, she's everything you'd want in a hero: over-achieving, brave, fearless, and well... heroic. She'd do anything to save the day, and she is unwaveringly loyal to Po. She is almost always very serious but, underneath her stoic, iron-jawed exterior is a warm compassion that others seldom see. Tigress' fighting style is powerful, firm, and aggressive. She's strong and agile, making her a formidable opponent even when she's facing larger enemies.

Vachir
Vachir, the Rhino Commander, is in charge of the Chorh-Gom Prison, the facility that was built to house only one prisoner: the infamous Tai Lung. Over the years the Commander became arrogant and overconfident.
Equally skilled with both his war hammer and his huge fists, Rhino Commander Vachir uses his bulk and strength to offset his slow and methodical movement.
|
|
|
Warrior Po
After defeating the evil Tai Lung, word of Po's abilities spread throughout the land. Catching a glimpse of Po always brings excitement and awe to the residents of the Valley of Peace. The son of a noodle chef, Po has never let his success go to his head, and he's almost always ready and willing to hang out with his admirers. But when he's clad in the garb of the Legendary Warrior, everyone knows that Po means business... and that he's on the job keeping the Valley safe.

Wolf Boss
The Wolf Boss, along with his wolf brothers and sisters, were once guards in Gongmen City's royal palace. The only member of the royal family ever to befriend the wolves was Shen, heir to Gongmen City's throne. Shen fed them, played with them, and treated them like family. The Wolf Boss is Shen's most loyal servant, military strategist, and trusted right hand.
The Wolf Boss was born and bred for fighting. He's fast and effective with his bare paws, and even more dangerous when swinging the heavy hammer he carries with him at all times.
