This thread is for Shennong, the new original character featured in WO3: Hyper alongside the guest character Momiji from Ninja Gaiden. I came on here a few weeks ago and was surprised to find no threads for the new characters added in WO3: Special and WO3: Hyper, so I decided to create them myself. Shennong, whose name literally means "Divine Farmer" in Chinese, is a legendary figure in Ancient Chinese myth. He is most famously known for tasting the various herbs in the world to find their medicinal uses. Several times he was poisoned by venomous plants, and it is said that it ultimately led to his demise. However, other tales insist that he discovered the healing properties using a non-dangerous method--that is, thrashing the plants with a reddish-brown whip, which happens to be his official weapon within the WO franchise. As with many male KOEI characters, Shennong is very handsome. His hairstyle is very remniscient of Nu Wa's, with the white-green hair and golden halo (the latter's shape has been altered, though). Sticking to the traditional stories about him, his stomach region is bluish and translucent, allowing him to see the effect of ingested herbs on his body. An unexpected but creative twist on his design is his monocle, which has already led some fans to call him "Sir Shennong". ![]() As the screenshots of WO3: Hyper show, his attacks are mainly plant-based. He throws herb bombs and makes shoots grow out of the ground. I guess he's going to be a most interesting character to play as. Lastly, it seems that he is the long-awaited third member of the Three Sovereigns trio, joining Fu Xi and Nu Wa to aid the humans in their struggle against the Hydra. From what I've seen, he seems to be the more peaceful one out of them seeing that he was absent from the previous two wars against Orochi. So, folks, what are your thoughts about him?

To be honest like so many other Orochi characters i really appreciate the effort gone into the moveset not just to make it unique but also to make it relavant to the character itself... Kaguya and Taigong Wang also come across as though the designers really put thought and consideration into their implementation into the game. Beyond his moveset footage i really can say no more... i wish him to be interesting and have some great dialogue with other characters but until i see his story interactions and persona shining through i cant judge him as a character as well as a fighter. Though of course it would be obvious to see him as the middle man between the ever bickering Nu Wa and Fu Xi. |

This guy is very interesting, something like a combination between Nuwa and Kaguya. His moveset seems fun too, but what I really like is his theme song, "Rainbow Dispenser". Unfortunately, no one has uploaded it on Youtube yet.

I like him. He's definitely different compared to the rest of the cast, but I can say that it's definitely welcome. I've never read anyone calling him Sir Shennong, but I really do love the monocle XD |

officer info tends to explain a few things. I didn't know ranmaru gained attack range bonus when the sword glowed. (air R1) but as for your question: "temporarily gain a chain effect on your attacks" ground R1 heals you and air R1 steals musou. |
