Description
Giant Pangolin, also known as Sen-chan, is a major character in *Kemono Friends 2*. She presents a serious and courteous demeanor yet possesses a distinctly faint-hearted nature, instinctively curling into a protective ball when startled. Her design integrates traits of her real-world species, featuring a scaly skirt, gloves, and an orange deerstalker hat, complemented by an extremely long tail exceeding two meters.
Throughout the series, she partners with Giant Armadillo (Arma) on missions assigned by their boss, later revealed as Domestic Dog. Their primary goal is locating and capturing Kyururu, a human-like presence appearing in Japari Park. In "Beyond Memories," she leads an investigation into the abandoned facility where Kyururu awakened, sharply reminding Arma to stay focused on their task. A sudden loud screech sends both curling up defensively, forcing their retreat.
Further episodes highlight her role. In "Panda and Panda," she visibly fatigued yet reluctantly follows Eastern Spot-Billed Duck. "Creatures of the Sea" depicts her reporting mission failures to Domestic Dog and pledging to apprehend Kyururu. During "Different Kinds of Houses," she and Arma confront Kyururu but instantly curl up in terror after Caracal makes a scary face, remaining immobilized until sunrise. Her actions culminate in "New Song in Concert," where she interrogates others about Kyururu's whereabouts, quarrels with the PPP idol group, and successfully imprisons Kyururu within a wheeled cage.
Her central relationship is her partnership with Arma, defined by cooperative efforts in tracking Kyururu and mutual vulnerability during frightening encounters, underscoring her reliance on teamwork despite her timid reactions.
Originating as a minor playable character in the 2015 *Kemono Friends* mobile game, she later appeared in spin-offs including *Kemono Friends Festival* (2018), *Kemono Friends 3* (2019), and the *Kemono Friends 2* manga (2019); specific details of her roles outside the anime are not elaborated in the available materials.
Her biological attributes mirror real-world giant pangolin traits: an insectivorous diet, defensive curling behavior, keratinous scales, and a long tongue used for environmental sensing. These features directly inform her design and behaviors, such as utilizing her tail defensively and embodying a timid, nocturnal disposition.
