* KryptoniteFactor: The only thing other than Ortus capable of harming and driving away Kankel is Linker Gel, which it can't process and while it can't kill it, burns away at its body on contact.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:After removing Kankel's HealingFactor, Lamia doesn't use a FinishingMove to instantly kill it, but rather brutally rips it apart with his bare hands.]]



* OnlyICanKillHim: [[spoiler:Ortus is the ''only'' thing that can kill Kankel, as the form's HealingFactor makes it one of the only things that can survive Kankel's TouchOfDeath, and its ability to rewrite enemy cells allows him to remove Kankel's own HealingFactor so it can be destroyed.]]

* NecessaryEvil: [[spoiler:His protecting Hinoki primarily because she can create a flower that can ensure his kind's continued existence and help defeat Kankel]] seems horrible on the surface, but [[spoiler:his kind are humanity's protectors and it's established mankind ''will'' perish if they go extinct. Kankel is also such a massive threat to ''everything'' that the GodzillaThreshold has been passed.]] It's made clear Lamia is ''only'' doing this because he absolutely ''has'' to, and he's a genuinely heroic guy who's trying to save everyone.

Added DiffLines:

* CombatTentacles: It has no skeletal structure to speak of and can use its limbs as tentacles in combat.


Added DiffLines:

* GoodThingYouCanHeal: It's a good thing for Kankel it has an absurd HealingFactor, as it doesn't seem very durable otherwise and often ends up taking a decent amount of otherwise fatal damage. It's just impossible to meaningfully damage, as it will just regenerate even by being imploded into nothingness. Once Ortus disables its regeneration, he has no real problem ripping it to pieces and killing it.


Added DiffLines:

* UnskilledButStrong: Kankel has borderline no fighting skills, but given it's nigh impossible to meaningfully damage and possesses a TouchOfDeath and plenty of raw power, it really doesn't ''need'' skill. When Ortus proves able to shrug off its cell generating touch, its fighting style relies mostly on brute force. Once Ortus strips it of its powers, he has no problem ripping it to pieces while its helpless to do anything about it.
