Notes

  • At a Q&A session during Fan Festival 2007, the developers said that Shihu-Danhu was in line to be the Tarutaru Serpent General, but screwed up the opportunity.

We're sure you're all familiar with the Warp Tarutaru in Al Zahbi, right? Well, we'll let you in on a little secret about his past. He was tasked with the important mission of warping the 5 Serpent Generals back home after a dangerous battle, and if he succeeded he would be given the rank of Serpent General. While waiting outside for them to finish their task, he got really, really hungry. And when it came time to warp them to safety, he sent them back into the Jade Sepulcher battleground… Thus, there is no 6th Serpent General.

Whether this should be treated as canon or more of a joke answer, we may never know...
