Tengai Kisou is an odd-looking Medarot based on ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welwitschia Welwitschia mirabilis]'', a bizarre desert plant considered to be a living fossil. The plant grows to be very large and only ever forms two leaves, which are represented on the Medarot as two oversized arms. Its head part is a solid block with no visible face, and its leg parts feature squirming root-like tentacles that allow it to move effectively over sandy or uneven terrain. Its parts are neutral-gendered and can be used with either kind of [[Tinpet]].

Description

Tengai Kisou is an odd-looking Medarot based on Welwitschia mirabilis, a bizarre desert plant considered to be a living fossil. The plant grows to be very large and only ever forms two leaves, which are represented on the Medarot as two oversized arms. Its head part is a solid block with no visible face, and its leg parts feature squirming root-like tentacles that allow it to move effectively over sandy or uneven terrain. Its parts are neutral-gendered and can be used with either kind of Tinpet.

Tengai Kisou's name comes from an alternate Japanese name for the plant, "kisou tengai" (奇想天外), which translates to fantastic, bizarre, or unexpected. The two words in the name are reversed, mimicking Kasou Touchu's naming scheme. Likewise, the name for its leg parts (Namib-Rohdea) comes from another alternate Japanese name, "sabaku-omoto (サバクオモト) or "Desert Rohdea".
