The Bad karmour is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Bad karmours are animated suits of armour armed with a tall, sharp poleaxe in one hand and a shield embossed with a skull in their offhand. Their helmets have a tall pair of golden horns and their armour is covered in sharp spikes. With their poleaxes, the suits of armour are able to perform various elemental slashes or martial techniques, along with being able to heal themselves with their shields. When they first appeared, their suits of armor were coloured dark indigo or black, but in modern depictions, the colour changed to dark green. Their English name is a play on the term "bad karma".
