Hunter X Hunter's diverse and massive world has introduced the fans to some of the most immersive powers in the world of anime over the years. One of these is the concept of the Guardian Spirit Beasts. Debuting in the Succession Contest arc, the Guardian Spirit Beasts are parasitic Nen Beasts under the possession of the king of the Kakin Empire,along with all the princes.
Nen Beasts are all incredibly powerful, and the Succession Contest introduced the fans to fifteen of the strongest ones. The Guardian Spirit Beasts are all unique, so here's a roundup of all the ones that have been introduced so far.
15 Nasubi Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
​​​​Nasubi Hui is the current ruler of the Kakin Empir, who made his first appearance during the Dark continent arc. His Guardian Spirit has a grotesque appearance with five hands.
As audiences would expect, this spirit is pretty strong. Thanks to its power, Nasubi Hui Guo Rou won the previous succession contest which led him to become the ruler of the Kakin Empire.
14 Benjamin Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Benjamin is the eldest son of Nasubi and the Deputy Military Adviser for the Kakin Empire. He received his Guardian Spirit from the Seed Urn Ceremony, like his other siblings.
Like most of the Guardian Spirit Beasts, Benjamin's has an abominable appearance as well — it is certainly not pretty to look at. Regardless of looks, though, it gets the job done. Most of its abilities remain unknown, but as the story continues, they will likely be revealed eventually.
13 Camilla Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Camilla is a competent Nen user who has proven her worth during the Succession Contest. Her Guardian Spirit Beast resembles a tree from above, and its lower part is akin to that of a sea creature.
This beast has a Manipulation type ability and can control the actions of anyone. In order to take control of someone, however, some conditions must be met.
12 Zhang Lei Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Zhang has a Guardian Beast that looks somewhat normal, at lwast when compared to the others on the list. His beast is a Conjurer and has an unbelievable ability.
Every day, Zhang's Guardian Beast produces a coin and dispenses it from its mouth. Those who own the coins are granted various abilities. Their value only increases with time, meaning the ability gets stronger as well. Like with other abilities, however, certain conditions need to be met in order to trigger this.
11 Tserriednich Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Tserriednich is one of the most terrifying characters in Hunter X Hunter, and his Guardian Spirit Beast is no different from him. The beast has a female head with a disfigured body that is quite grotesque, much like most other Guardian Spirit Beasts.
However, its ability is what makes it special. Whenever a person lies to its host, Tserreidnich, the guardian's ability is triggered and that person is immediately infected with an unexplained power. So far, the nature of the infection hasn't been explained, but looks to be very dangerous.
10 Tubeppa Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
A Transmutation type Guardian Spirit Beast, this beast lives on the body of Tubeppa Hui Guo Rou. Some of its abilities remain unexplained so far, but it appears to be able to synthesize various chemicals and drugs within its partner's body.
It is possible that the beast attacks its opponents with this power but, once again, very little is known about what it actually does.
9 Tyson Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Tyson is the sixth prince of the Kakin Empire and the daughter of the fourth wife of Nasubi. Her guardian beast is an Emitter. It is shaped like a heart with a large eye in the middle, and has four wings.
This guardian's ability allows it to produce a small worm-like creature that attaches itself to people who have learned about Tyson's teachings. It grants them happiness in return for their aura.
8 Luzurus Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Luzurus's beast has the appearance of a giant centipede with multiple limbs. It is a Conjurer and can also use Manipulation, which is quite surprising.
This beast sets a clever trap by making use of its prey's most desired thing. When the hunt is successful, the beast's ability is finally activated. Unfortunately, what exactly the ability does isn't clear yet.
7 Salé-salé Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Salé-salé's Guardian Beast has an incredible ability to influence numerous people at once, with the only downside being that it takes some time to work because of it being used on so many targets.
The ability itself is quite intriguing. It releases a white smoke which, when inhaled, causes one to be in favor of the prince. Evidently, this is a very useful ability to have.
6 Halkenburg Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Halkenburg is one of the few princes whose Guardian Beast has shown its full power. His beast is an Enhancer and can share its ability with people who are affiliated with its host, Halkenburg.
The allies of the host will get unique powers of their own. When they're grouped together and possess the same will, their powers are boosted dramatically.
5 Kacho Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Kacho's Guardian Spirit Beast does not have any shape or form, which makes it peculiar when compared to the others. It will activate if either Kacho or Fugetsu die.
If that it happens, it takes the form of the deceased Prince and will protect the other one until its last breath. Although it likely has offensive powers as well, so far, no mention has been made on whether or not that is true.
4 Fugetsu Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Fugetsu's Guardian Spirit Beast is an interesting one. It has manifested itself as a door that can lead her to the playground where she and her sister used to play all the time in the past.
The beast lets Fugetsu choose where the exit door emerges from. While useful in some ways, it takes away a lot of Fugetsu's energy, which is a massive downside.
3 Momoze Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Momoze's beast looks like a giant hamster with a tail, making it similar to a mouse. Its ability allows Momoze to control anyone if certain conditions are met.
The beast is almost sentient and it usually asks its target if they are "free." If the answer is negative, then the beast sits on their shoulder until the answer changes to a positive one. Once that happens, the beast takes over their person's mind as a form of pseudo-coercive Manipulation.
2 Marayam Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Marayam is one of the youngest princes of the Kakin Empire. Despite being quite young, Marayam has his own Guardian Spirit Beast. The beast has an appearance of a dragon and possesses an impressive defensive ability.
It can create a spatiotemporal barrier strong enough to fend off anyone from any area it desires. It also changes its appearance based on Marayam's feelings.
1 Woble Hui Guo Rou's Guardian Spirit Beast
Woble is the youngest of all the princes, and just like Marayam, he also has a Guardian Spirit Beast. Interestingly, his beast is yet to make an appearance, which also means that its abilities haven't been seen either.
Due to Togashi being secretive about its powers, this particular beast is likely something special. As the story moves forward, fans will certainly see more of what his Guardian Spirit Beast is capable of.
