Gyuki, the Eight Tailed-Beast

Gyuki looks like a bull with the body of an octopus and it has four horns on its head. The lower left part of his horns were permanently sliced off in a battle with the Third Raikage, A, and the right horns were destroyed by its own Tailed-Beast Ball. It also has straight teeth, one of which was also blown off when its Tailed-Beast Ball backfired. It has a muscular upper-body structure, with a hunched back similar to an American bison, arms with spiked protrusions on the elbows, and hands with opposable thumbs like a human. It has no hind-legs, but its lower half is made up of the eight tails which are like tentacles of an octopus, and put all these together, you get this.  Gyuki is characterized as a tough and serious individual, and in addition, Gyuki is shown to have good analytic skills. With regards to its relationships with the other Tailed-Beasts, Gyuki mentioned that it and its brethren detested Kurama for its habit of ranking their strength by the number of tails they have. In the past, Gyuki was infamous in Kumogakure for going on a rampage when its jinchuriki would lose control of it. This was mainly due to its hatred towards humans for oppressing it and sealing it. Gyuki kept on being that way until it was sealed in B, who later changed it after he beat it in a one-on-one combat. Since then, Gyuki's relationship with B became for relaxed, with B sitting on the muzzle while talking to Gyuki leisurely. B sometimes tends to annoy Gyuki by comical effect, as its no-nonsense demeanor often contrasts with B's tendency to goof off whenever he wants to. Gyuki fell into the possession of Kumogakure, however, its ferocity was so great that none of its former jinchuriki could control it. They would lose control, and Gyuki would go on a rampage and destroy the village, requiring the Third Raikage to form a special coalition to subdue it. During one of its rampages, the Third fought Gyuki alone allowing his comrades to escape. During this encounter, the Third managed to cut off all the tails, but both him and Gyuki collapsed with their techniques before they could finish the battle. At some point in the past, one Kumogakure ninja tried to mimic what the Gold and Silver brothers did with Kurama, the Nine Tailed-Beast y eating one of Gyuki's tentacles, but the person then died. 

Wait for my next post on Kurama, the Nine Tailed-Beast!
