Dopros
Hey, do you think we should take it easy on them? Right? That's what I was thinking.
― Jack-O' Valentine to Dopros[src]
Dopros, originally referred to as Dopoulos[source needed], is a supporting character in the Guilty Gear series. It is a pumpkin-shaped flail used by Jack-O' Valentine.
Design
Dopros appears as a metallic pumpkin reminiscent of a jack-o'-lantern. It has circular eyes, a triangular nose, and squared teeth that give off a light green lantern effect and wears an ankh pendant on the forehead. The stem is in the form of a chain connected to Jack-O's leg resembling a prison weight. It also has the ability to extend out bat wings and a large pink tongue or change its form to that of a headless iron maiden. When crushed by Jack-O' during her Dust Attack, the pumpkin shape is destroyed revealing a pool of light green liquid on the inside and the same colored soul of Dopros ascending with a halo.
Personality
Silent but very expressive, it seems to communicate with Jack-O' through nonverbal means. Dopros tends to match Jack-O's energy by acting playful or cautious depending on her state. Dopros will gossip and make small talk with Jack-O', nodding and giving feedback when prompted in her taunt animations.[1]
Abilities
Dopros fights alongside Jack-O' by extending its chain forward during many of her kick attacks. It launches glowing light green projectiles and beams to attack from afar or propel Jack-O'. Dopros can grow in size to catch the opponent in its mouth and spit them in a given direction. It can also take the form of a headless iron maiden to trap opponents in during Jack-O's Elysion Driver attack. Dopros can carry Jack-O' around by either balancing her on top of itself, growing wings and flying her around, or growing in size and levitating to her destination.
