Overview
Thanatos is the God of Death in the Kid Icarus (Franchise) series and a loyal servant of Medusa (Character). Eccentric and flamboyant, he has the power to shapeshift. In the original Kid Icarus (Game), he appears alongside Medusa in the game's final battle, but plays a larger role in Kid Icarus: Uprising. His name in the original Kid Icarus was spelled "Tanatos," but he added an "H" to his name because, in his words, "the H is for HAMAZING!" During his battle with Pit (Character) in Uprising, Thanatos takes a variety of forms, including a giant foot that attempts to stomp Pit, a giant bat that can further turn into a swarm of smaller bats, and a large jar that launches boulder-sized skulls. Upon his defeat, Pit retrieves a gem from him that allows entrance to the Underworld. He later reappears as a member of Hades's forces; his quick revival is explained as being a special case, as he is a god of death. However, he is defeated once again, this time by Phosphora (Character).
