- "Even if I'm the last free creature in Perim, I'll never surrender to the M'arrillians!"
- ―Takinom, Legions of Aa'une Part 2
Appearance:[]
She resembles a kind of female gargoyle, something like an inverse version of Lord Van Bloot. She has light brown skin with aggressive tattoos on her arms and thighs, red wings, a large horn on her head and eagle-like claws on her feet. To protect herself, she uses an breastplate with shoulder pads.
In The Shadowknight version, she gains a crown of horns and armor made of distorted roots, probably originating from black magic.

Background Information[]
Takinom is the most powerful female commander in the Underworld, as well as leading the airstrikes and stealth raids. As Chaor's faithful ally and advisor, she plans tactical and diplomatic strategies to maintain her tribe's sovereignty. Although she is relatively temperamental, she often provides the necessary dose of rationality to the Underworld's top brass. Her biggest enemies are Intress (her opposite version from the Otherworld) and Skithia (a former ally who betrayed Chaor and allied herself with Lord Van Bloot).
She played an important role during the M'arrilliam Invasion, as she was one of the active leaders who expelled M'arrillians and Van Bloot's army from the City of the Underworld, thus managing to reconquer her tribe's territory and buy time until Maxxor, Chaor and Iparu finally managed to defeat Aa'une. In addition to helping to recapture Underworld City, she also fought to retake Lava Pond.
Strategies[]
The classic version of Takinom suffers from its low energy and no elements, but it is still interesting because it has very good disciplines. Good strategies are to increase your Swift ability and give it an element, preferably fire, to increase its synergy with other creatures in the Underworld.
Its Shadowknight version is extremely complete and very aggressive, making it very suitable for being on the front line. Due to its robust kit, you can afford to use any type of weapon with it, but the most recommended are those that increase your elemental damage, like the Viledriver for example.

Trivia[]
- Part of her name could be derived from the japanese word for red, "akai".
- Although her card art shows her launching the Fire Orb attack, she does not have the fire element.
- In the Chaotic video game Chaotic Shadow Warriors, her effect is different. She instead has Strike 10 and has the elemental type of air and fire.
- Takinom had one of the deeper redesigns in season two, going from red skin to a light orange-brown color closer to his card art, as well as adopting elements from his Shadowknight version.
