Teknoman Darkon / Tekkaman Omega/ General Dakonith / General Umegon / Umegon Takkonniku / Raukko Kaura
Far different than his counterpart in Tekkaman Blade, Darkon is in fact a member of one of the species' the Radam subjugated before they came to Earth.
- Animal Motifs: Truly, Sword could only come close to describing Lord Darkon’s form by comparing him to the animals that she had seen before: his face had the predatory shape of a wolf, while being the size of a horse... his nose was the most rabbit-like part of all, though it sat neatly between long, catlike whiskers... His tail was a long, sinuous, almost snakelike thing, always adjusting slightly with the minute movements of Lord Darkon’s body.
- Humanoid Aliens: His species, Nandorians, are built roughly the same as humans.
- Original Character
- Unusual Ears: (Darkon's) ears were long and mobile like a rabbit’s, but they had a more catlike air to them than any rabbit’s that (Sword) had ever seen
