'''Shikuru''' (シクルゥ) is [[Nakoruru]]'s wolf companion introduced in ''[[Samurai Shodown III]]'' who acts as an exclusive helper to Nakoruru's [[Purple Nakoruru|Rasetsu/Bust form]] and eventually [[Rera]]. His name has no meaning and was chosen based on sound and character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
Shikuru started accompanying Nakoruru when her darker personality started to surface. Sharing sentiments with Rera, he is often found following her around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
Originally, he is portrayed to be one of Rimururu and Nakoruru's friends. In later games, he became more colder and ruthless than Nakoruru's other animal companion [[Mamahaha]]. He however remains loyal to his owner's cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Powers==&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Charge''' - Shikuru can perform charges against opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fighting Style==&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike other pets, Shikuru serves primarily as Nakoruru/Rera's battle mount. Shikuru is a necessity for several of his master's special moves, as having her travel on him is a great emphasis to mastering her form of gameplay. Whilst Nakoruru/Rera mounts him, the player can run faster and jump longer distances -at the sacrifice of a lower height. If their opponents attempt to attack, the player can quickly counter with Shikuru's rush attack, which may also launch Nakoruru/Rera after the blow for increased damage. Players may be handicapped, however, due to the heavy reliance put on mounting Shikuru. For instance, Nakoruru/Rera cannot mount him if he is too far away from her and when she is in the process of mounting him, she remains temporarily vulnerable to any attack.&lt;br /&gt;
