Cockdole

Cockdole is a beastman whose traits are based on a chicken, giving him an avian appearance combined with humanoid features.

He works as an ecologist, specializing in the study of monsters and their behaviors in the wild.

He chooses to investigate monsters up close rather than rely on secondhand reports or distant observation.

Because his work often brings him into dangerous territory, he requests the protection of Hajime Shinonome, an experienced adventurer.

Cockdole is extremely passionate about his research, to the point of forgetting the passage of time when observing or recording monsters.

Once he begins fieldwork, he tends to lose himself in note-taking, sketching, and data collection.

His love of work is genuine rather than obsessive in a cold way, giving him an enthusiastic and slightly absent-minded air.

This makes him endearing rather than off-putting, as he clearly enjoys what he does and takes pride in his expertise.

Despite his tendency to get absorbed in research, he is responsible and kind in his role as a father.

He balances his scientific curiosity with a sincere desire to be someone his daughter can look up to.

Hajime Shinonome

Cockdole hires Hajime Shinonome as a combat-capable escort so he can approach monsters directly.

He relies on Hajime’s strength and experience to keep him safe while he focuses on documenting monster ecology.

In the field, Cockdole often becomes so engrossed in his observations that he depends heavily on Hajime’s judgment.

Their partnership is a practical arrangement, but it also highlights Cockdole’s trust in Hajime’s reliability.

Cocko

Cocko is Cockdole’s daughter, and she holds him in high esteem.

To her, he is not just a researcher, but a respectable and admirable father figure.

Cockdole’s dedication to his work becomes a source of inspiration for Cocko.

She admires his passion, his knowledge of monsters, and the way he fully commits himself to his calling.

At the same time, Cockdole’s affection and sense of responsibility toward Cocko are central to how he lives.

He strives to be the kind of parent whose actions match the respect she has for him, both at home and in the field.

As a monster ecologist, Cockdole focuses on studying monsters in their natural habitats rather than in controlled or urban environments.

He insists on gathering direct observational data, considering it more reliable and meaningful for understanding monster behavior.

His work likely includes recording feeding habits, territorial ranges, social interactions, and reactions to humans.

Because many monsters are dangerous, this kind of research is risky and requires careful planning and strong protection.

Cockdole’s meticulous note-taking and unwavering attention to detail make him a valuable source of information for adventurers and scholars.

Even though he can be oblivious to danger when concentrating, the quality of his findings helps others survive encounters with monsters and better understand the world they inhabit.
