Kelas

Kelas is a character who appears in “The Whimsical World of Leopold”; his only appearances are in “The Legend of the Crystal Spider” as the main antagonist and in “Exit B13” as one of the revived villains.

Appearance
Kelas is a gigantic ice-blue spider whose thick legs are made out of crystals; he has two bright green eyes, a triangular-shaped head (which only becomes diamond-shaped when he opens his maw), white razor-sharp teeth and six legs that are made out of crystals.

Personality
Kelas is a vicious creature who happens to prey on rodents (especially mice) every 5,000 years, even killing them by stabbing them to death with one of his legs prior to eating them. The only way to kill him is by using a Fire Arrow Annihilation attack, which Selena helped Mitya use to defeat the villain.

He had even killed many mouse villagers in the past prior to slumbering for 5,000 years, only returning to eat more mice.

In the fanfic
Kelas makes his debut in “The Legend of the Crystal Spider”, where he captures Mitya, Motya, Ludmilla, Nessa, Sasha, Misha, Andrei and Sergei, respectively, in addition to immobilizing them with his crystallized web cocoons. He then explains to the mice that he had killed many of the mouse villagers 5,000 years ago and that he plans to do the same to them. However, as he prepares to stab Motya to death, Selena rushes in to save the day, prompting her epic battle against the spider to ensue. While Selena demonstrates excellent swordsmanship skills, Kelas eventually gains the upper hand and manages to knock her sword out of her grasp, sending it flying across the forest. Mitya then suddenly calls for Selena to let him help her, after which she swiftly uses her fireball to free him from one of the cocoons that were trapping the mice in addition to handing him a sword, which he uses to fight Kelas while helping Selena buy their time. Ultimately, Selena conjures up a special crossbow made out of fire prior to handing it over to Mitya, allowing him to defeat Kelas once and for all.

Kelas reappears in “Exit B13”, where he’s among the villains brought back from the dead by Oleg Ivanov Jr. to help avenge Oleg Ivanov Sr.; however, he dies again after Selena uses her Fire Arrow Annihilation to kill him.

Trivia
Kelas’s character model may be based on Mantis from Bomberman 64; however, unlike Mantis (who wears a mask until Bomberman destroys it with his pumped-up bombs), Kelas doesn’t wear a mask at all.

Kelas’s name is actually the Sanskrit word for “crystal”.
