Dark Cacao and Burning Spice and Silent Salt

Appearance: "A hollow shell of a Cookie, nothing more. Silence." The Devil of Silence is a tall and imposing figure. His helmet's shape evokes that of a skull, with two sharp eye slits and holes on its top to resemble a salt shaker, as well as an ever-burning plume at the back. His black armor is a literal shadow of his former self: jagged, large pauldrons rest heavy on his shoulders, accompanied by a horn-like gorget and a tattered yet blazing cape, and at its center, the chestplate contains the Soul Jam, the Light of Silence. It is an onyx gray with two lightning bolt shapes alongside it.

Personality: "Wretched. Leave me be. Silence." A reserved Cookie, wracked with self-loathing. He believes that no Cookie is worthy of Solidarity. Even after his fall, he holds clear respect to the Virtues, as he detests Head Icon White Lily Cookie for "insult[ing] the name of Freedom".

Trivia: Silent Salt Cookie's loading screen trivia states, "According to legend, Silent Salt Cookie's faithful warhorse, Nox Black Salt, stood by his side until the very last moment." Another loading screen trivia states, "Only Silence greeted Silent Salt Cookie upon his return." Nox black salt sprite "...You remain by my side, even now." Silent Salt Cookie's horse is named Nox Black Salt (녹스블랙솔트, noksubullaeksoltu), "nox" being a Latin word referring to the night.

Skill:

End of Silence: Base Cooldown 14 sec Initial Cooldown 2 sec End of Silence Skill icon Silent Salt Cookie calls upon the power of the eclipse to summon his steed, Nox Black Salt, and put his enemies to the state of Silence Eternal. Next, he charges forward astride Nox Black Salt, cutting the shaded moon in half to make it explode, dealing great damage to enemy units. At the beginning of the battle, Silent Salt Cookie delivers Fury of the Catacombs to the enemy with the highest ATK (targets non-Safeguarded Cookies first). Silent Salt Cookie himself is not affected by Fury of the Catacombs, unless he is the only Cookie on the team. Once Fury of the Catacombs is fully stacked, its target receives Punishment. When the target is defeated, Fury of the Catacombs moves on to the next target with the highest ATK. Once the team's HP drops below a certain point, the 7 enemies with the highest ATK (targets non-Safeguarded Cookie first) will be inflicted with Wrath of the Catacomb that will instantly trigger the Silent Demise effect. Silent Salt Cookie's Forsaken Freedom renders him immune to all Cooldown-impairing effects. When affected by Cooldown-increasing or pausing effects, Silent Salt Cookie will gain an HP Shield along with DMG Resist and Cooldown Recovery buffs.

Silent Salt Cookie (Korean: 사일런트솔트 쿠키, sailleontu-soltu kuki) is one of the five Beast Cookies of Cookie Run: Kingdom. He is the last Beast to be released, being made playable alongside Head Icon Charcoal Cookie in the Silence of Conviction update (v6.9) after appearing briefly in a Secrets of the Silver Kingdom update (v5.0) cinematic. He is of the ambush Ambush type and his position is prioritized to the front Front.

Known as the Devil of Silence and the Justiciar of Silence, Silent Salt Cookie stands alone and cares no longer for the world of Cookies. He wields the power of Silence, a corrupted side of the Virtue of Solidarity he once held. He was the original owner of Head Icon White Lily Cookie's Soul Jam, being stripped of it upon his descent into despair.

Game Description: It is said that he never ruled like the other Emissaries of the gods. Instead, he stood as the first among equals, bound by the oath of Solidarity. He and his loyal knights thus preached his Virtue across the Great Barren. Alas... Was the weight of his divine mission too great to bear alone? Even he, a warrior of unparalleled discipline, fell to whispers of corruption. After unleashing a calamity that claimed the lives of every Cookie who stood with him, he was sealed by magic, condemned to an eternity in darkness. His countless victims were cursed to wander endlessly through the land no living Cookie dared tread—the Land of Silence, as it was now called. Yet this tale was not destined to end there. Eons later, the Beasts awoke once more. Now, clad in black armor, gleaming in the pale, salt-crystal light of the moon, Silent Salt Cookie returns to his domain, carrying the same haunting stillness he left behind when he first swung his sword as the Devil of Silence.

Personality part 3: In his realm, Burning Spice Cookie rules over the Wild Spices with an iron fist, striking fear into its inhabitants, especially less combative tribes like the Kulfi. His generals and soldiers, in return, pledge unwavering loyalty to him, knowing that opposition or failure of their duties can lead to their demise at his hands. Burning Spice Cookie does not show any sympathy to those who suffer because of him, seeing them or their suffering as meaningless, nor does he care for the well-being of Cookies under his command, and is exemplified to have no reserves of mercy for those in his path of destruction. He destroys ally and enemy alike without hesitation, seeking to eliminate all and put an end to the cycle of existence. This intense desire for thrill and brutality rages to the point that Burning Spice Cookie does not even care whether he wins a battle or not, laughing maniacally when faced with imminent death at Golden Cheese Cookie's hands, something he could also desire as it means the end of the cycle of never-ending change.

Personality part 2: Yet, all the roads he had taken led him to one conclusion; Destruction. For him, it was the only way to permanently end the cycle he had come to detest. And so, the Herald of Change transformed into the Great Destroyer, his virtue now corrupted. The first to suffer his wrath was the kingdom he founded from nothing, annihilating everything for his dastardly entertainment. Yet, pieces of the Herald remained, albeit now distorted. His knowledge was now used for havoc, using it to destroy kingdoms and to foster the chaotic culture of the Wild Spices, where violence is commonplace and rules over all. His vocabulary and mannerisms, proper then and now, would strike fear into whoever was unfortunate enough to hear. Many saw this as a betrayal of his original purpose, but he saw it as a renewed endeavor. To destroy everything so nothing can rise from the ashes.

As the Beast of Destruction, Burning Spice Cookie's behavior exemplifies such, with his first act upon regaining a physical form being sending an army after the Head Icon current owner of his lost half of his Soul Jam. Most of his actions are to starve off his boredom and satisfy his deep lust for carnage. To the Great Destroyer, both past and posterity have lost their meaning, if they ever had one to begin with; the only worth left lies in the power to extinguish the world's lemmings that clings to inconsequential lives. Something else he finds entertaining is a good battle; he waited eons for an exciting fight with the one holding his other half and didn't care that he regained his Soul Jam until he had a more challenging, novel conflict with her. In truth, he craves what he views as true change; utter domination over an enemy does not thrill him, for he has experienced such a scenario countless times. However, being truly challenged or even defeated seemed to relieve his emptiness as it was genuine change to the status quo of him being undefeatable.

Personality: Long ago, when the lands were new and bountiful, Burning Spice was the Herald of Change. Once did he bring about the growth of kingdoms and nations, shaping the course of their antiquity. Once he was a founder and ruler of kingdoms long forgotten yore. Once was he was the defender of civilization, created to protect the world that had begun to grow with his guidance. For his achievements and accomplishments, he was hailed as a hero, and cultures had sprung up around his identity. He was praised, cherished, celebrated, and beloved; he was elated that he was recognized for doing his duty. Alas, such creations were not meant to last, and so they've become history. Those who had idolized him and those who he had loved had long since departed. But not for the Herald, for he was eternal and would see this cycle for many eons. The cycle continued on while he became stagnant, his work now repetitive. Thus, he grew tired and soon had enough of the cycle's everlasting repetition. With age and death being no hindrance, he had all the time in the world to do everything he could possibly do to satisfy his aching heart and mind.

Appearance: The Great Destroyer wears little clothing and armor, conveying his confidence with such a lack of protection. His chest is bare save for his fire red, triangular Soul Jam, being emblematic of his status as a Beast and signaling to all his strength. It is flanked by fiendish, heath markings similar to those on his face. The one true garment on Burning Spice Cookie is a pītāmbari (Sanskrit: पीताम्बर) dhoti (Hindi: धोती), a silken, saffron yellow cloth attributed to Vishnu (Sanskrit: विष्णु)/Krishna (Sanskrit: कृष्ण) in Shaivism (Sanskrit: शैवसम्प्रदाय); it wraps his legs and is accompanied by a separate, ruby red waistband-loincloth hemmed with orange and secured with a golden buckle. Any extra adornment on his body is scant—a single bracelet coils around his left wrist and two slight plates of armor with a single spike each sit on his shoulders, all three elements being rendered in pale gold.

His weapon of choice is a menacing parashu (Sanskrit: paraśu) that stands even taller than its wielder. Its double blades curve like searing flames—one larger than the other—and stem from a red-hot starburst insignia. These blades can be shattered and restored at the Destroyer's will, seeming to be made from pure energy (or at least representing Burning Spice Cookie's power over Change). The axe's base is a long shaft with numerous sharp bevels, while the entire weapon glows with hellish heat and takes the colors of warm igneous rock and flowing magma.

Appearance: Burning Spice Cookie is a vision of raw strength: he is a very tall, hulkingly muscular Cookie with a massive upper body and reasonably thick legs, giving him a top-heavy build. His dough is a rose-terracotta tone peppered with umber tattoos like tiger stripes. His hungry eyes, poised under a furrowed brow and lined in black, curling lashes, burn with fire in jasmine slit pupils and cooler red sclerae. Below lies a wicked grin of sharp teeth set in tarnished gold. Sinuous brands border his eyes symmetrically in pointed fronds as another sits at his forehead, acting as the base to his two grand antennae.[2] They erupt in stinging tongues of flame and likely represent his twisted divinity and power, as they come from his Ajna chakra (Sanskrit: आज्ञा), where Shiva (Sanskrit: शिव) has his third eye.

Burning Spice Cookie's hair is exceedingly long and drags on the ground beneath him. Its matted mass is an all-encompassing void of black compared to his otherwise fiery tones and sprawls away in wild strands.

Skil:

Tyrant's Wrath Base Cooldown 9 sec Tyrant's Wrath Skill icon In exchange of his own lifeforce, Burning Spice Cookie releases his inner God of Destruction, dispelling debuffs and gaining the Berserker buff. While transformed, he will become immune to all debuffs except for Curse and will absorb the ATK of the three allies (targets Cookies first) with the highest ATK. Burning Spice Cookie will gain the Spice Rampage buff depending on the target of his basic attacks and will gain the Enrage buff after reaching a certain threshold. After, he will slam down the ground with his great axe, dealing damage with the final blow. The axe will create a pool of lava for a certain period of time and deal periodic damage. Enemies' ATK SPD and ATK are reduced in the lava, while the Sarcophagus of Gold and summons receive a great amount of damage.

The Great Destroyer, Burning Spice Cookie, activates Firestorm periodically, inflicting Burn to all targets (excluding Safeguarded Cookies) and providing CRIT% and CRIT DMG buffs for his allies. Additionally, he applies The Destroyer's Gaze debuff on the enemy Cookie with the highest ATK.

Upon entering the battle, Burning Spice Cookie applies the Revelry of Flames buff on Fire-type allies, which increases their ATK and DMG Resist by the number of Burn stacks. Additionally, Burning Spice Cookie's CRIT% increases according to the number of nearby targets with Burn. When hit by Water-type attacks for a certain number of times, a Burn debuff is removed.

If Burning Spice Cookie is defeated, he becomes Immortal for a certain period of time and dispels debuffs.

Game Description While the losers are doomed to be swallowed whole by the Tide of Change, victors bend it to their will! Once known as the Herald of Change, Burning Spice Cookie shaped the course of history, when history itself was young. He was hailed as a hero, a leader who fought battle after battle to protect the faint light of civilization shining amidst the gloom. But as time marched on and kingdoms rose and fell in an endless cycle, he grew weary—bored by the monotony of it all. In his heart, the seeds of destruction began to take root. His name, once celebrated, was replaced by whispers of the Great Destroyer. But empty praises and worship from Cookies meant nothing to him, as only destruction could make his jam boil! During his long confinement, he cursed the chains that bound him, aching to unleash chaos. But now, Burning Spice Cookie is free, unchained, and ready to carve a path of havoc. The world will tremble as the Great Destroyer rises once more... and nothing will be spared.

Burning Spice Cookie (Korean: 버닝스파이스 쿠키, beoning-supaisu kuki) is one of the five Beast Cookies of Cookie Run: Kingdom. He was the second to be released, being made playable alongside Head Icon Nutmeg Tiger Cookie in the Shadow of the Destroyer update (v5.10), after appearing briefly in a Secrets of the Silver Kingdom update (v.5.0) cinematic. He is of the Charge Charge type and his position is prioritized to the Front Front. He serves as the main antagonist of the Land of Fire and Ruin chapter of the Beast-Yeast storyline.

Once a champion of civilization and symbol of societal endurance, Burning Spice Cookie, now jaded towards history's ceaseless cyclicality, prevails over the war-torn Land of Spice with abandon. He craves reducing nations to ashes purely for the thrill of it, all the while disregarding his own safety and that of his militant followers. No longer is Burning Spice Cookie revered as the Herald of Change but feared as the ultimate bringer of Destruction—the granter of ends.

Burning Spice Cookie wields the power of Destruction, a corrupted side of the Virtue of Change[1] he once held. He was the original owner of Head Icon Golden Cheese Cookie's Soul Jam, being stripped of it upon his descent into villainy.

Relation to Dark Choco Cookie part 2: The relationship between the two Cookies would remain unresolved, with Dark Choco Cookie considering himself beyond redemption and instead resigning to a path of darkness and solitude. Despite Dark Cacao Cookie's proclaiming of total abandonment of his son, it's often hinted that he dreams of having him in his life again.[2] When they reunite in the Dark Cacao Kingdom, both father and son refer to each other with disdain and hostility, as the latter resorts to assassinating the former when the king refuses to simply bow his head and let Head Icon Dark Enchantress Cookie rule over his lands. This results in Dark Cacao Cookie's defeat—though survival—due to the lack of his Soul Jam and a hint of hesitation in fighting his own son. He plans to remedy his failure to stop Dark Choco Cookie and the Cookies of Darkness by crumbling his son, but finds himself unable to do so after defeating him. He instead realizes that his cold upbringing of his child as a warrior denied him love and warmth, and deeply regrets his choices as a father. Later interactions with Head Icon Hollyberry Cookie reveal that despite wanting Dark Choco Cookie back in his life, he will wait for his son to approach him rather than seek him out.

Relation to Dark Choco Cookie: Dark Cacao Cookie is the father of Head Icon Dark Choco Cookie, who once deeply admired his father and wished to follow in his footsteps. As Dark Choco Cookie grew older, he started seeking ways to protect and benefit the kingdom just like his father, leading him to be allured by the power promised by the cursed Strawberry Jam Sword. Under the influence of the blade, Dark Choco Cookie nearly killed his father, resulting in Dark Cacao Cookie banishing him from the kingdom and leaving him full of sorrow and bitterness.

Personality part 2: Dark Cacao Cookie wields the Light of Resolution due to his will and determination to protect not just his kingdom, but all of Earthbread. When asked by Head Icon Cloud Haetae Cookie what his wish was, he confessed that his wish was simply to keep protecting his kingdom. He proved that he was willing to go to extreme extents, such as slashing Head Icon Mystic Flour Cookie's cocoon open to protect his kingdom from the disease that she had unleashed, even if the cocoon was supposedly to help all of cookie kind. Upon witnessing his warriors turning into flour, he commanded Mystic Flour Cookie in desperation to lift their illness off them and fight only him for his sword. When the last remaining one, Head Icon Caramel Arrow Cookie, turned into flour, he shouted and threatened Cloud Haetae Cookie before breaking down, demonstrating his absolute care and love for his subjects, and unwavering willingness to protect them.

Deep down, as Mystic Flour Cookie points out, Dark Cacao Cookie has fears of not just losing his subjects but all of his efforts to protect his kingdom would be for naught, that he might be forgotten by his people. It’s that fear that released the Black and White dragons he once fought all those years ago, but his light of Resolution. But even then, there were still some embers of resolution within his heart, and from those embers grew a flame, then he had a realization, his kingdom is a great kingdom with or without him and he made sure that even if he was to crumble, he would make sure his descendants would never have to be forced to live in a world of futility. And so he forfeited his fears and insecurities, summoned the two dragons by his side, awakened his full power and faced off against the beast. After that, he vowed to bring balance of rest and work in his life.

Personality: Dark Cacao Cookie is the strict and protective monarch of the Dark Cacao Kingdom. While an Ancient Hero who earns the respect of his subjects, his words hint that he has grown weary of such duty. Despite this, his resolve to protect his kingdom and Earthbread allows him to continue bearing the responsibilities he swore to uphold. Dark Cacao Cookie is also quite stoic, his emotions are muted and reserved unless caught in certain situations, such as being in battle or seeing Head Icon Pure Vanilla Cookie for the first time since the Dark Flour War. Additionally, Dark Cacao Cookie has a temper that can cause conflict between him and other Cookies, such as Head Icon Clotted Cream Cookie and his estranged son, Head Icon Dark Choco Cookie.

Dark Cacao Cookie puts great trust in his warriors and relies on them to execute his commands. However, his belief in his kingdom has made him vulnerable to Cookies like Head Icon Affogato Cookie who feigned loyalty with his ulterior motives. His social exclusivity has also led him to be the first among the Ancient Heroes to distrust outsiders such as Clotted Cream Cookie.

Appearance: Dark Cacao Cookie is a tall Cookie with carafe brown dough and an intimidating thick build. His scowl is paired with deep violet eyes set upon tired eye bags. He has long black hair with additional white strands.

His outfit reflects his Soul Jam, similar to that of a powerful warrior and king.

Dark Cacao Cookie's Dragon Lord outfit displays a distinct motif of duality in black and white. As expected of myeonbok (Korean: 면복), he wears a myeonlyugwan imperial crown (Korean Hangul: 면류관; Korean Hanja: 冕旒冠) with seven beaded lines—two in the front corners and five along the back. The board of his crown is fashioned after a thick bar of chocolate to hearken back to the Dark Cacao Kingdom.

The Grapejam Chocoblade he holds is still massive, but slightly shorter than him, with some very noticeable changes. The hilt of the sword now has a white four sided gem embedded into it. The guard of the sword resembles two halves of an Oreo cookie, one half being white, the other half being black, both of the halves' circular sides face upwards. The in-between point of the oreo halves of the sword which houses Dark Cacao Cookie's Soul Jam has a circle that is colored black and white to parallel the colors of the sides of the guard. The blade of the Grapejam Chocoblade has two sets of serrated "teeth" and the blade is evenly divided into white and black.

Character Inspiration In his Dragon Lord appearance, Dark Cacao Cookie's manner of dress directly emulates the Korean myeonbok (Korean: 면복), a set of ceremonial regalia reserved for kings and emperors in the Joseon (Korean: 조선) dynasty. The pearlescent filigree scattered about his outfit is based on the decorative art of Najeonchilgi (Korean: 나전칠기), in which mother-of-pearl is inlaid on objects like hand mirrors and jewelry boxes and subsequently lacquered. The bilaterally-split nature of his outfit represents his mastery over the Black and White Dragons, over dark and light, and over black and white as a whole; he has

Skill: Replaces Solemn Judgment; however, level-ups are shared between the two skills.

After this, Dark Cacao Cookie will borrow the strength of the Twin Dragons for a forceful downward strike, increasing Darkness-type damage and applying Consuming Darkness and Gloom.

At the beginning of battle, Dark Cacao Cookie will increase the allies' DMG Resist with a Royal Decree. Inspired by his Kingly Presence, he will gain increased DEF and Max HP and Charge Cookies will gain increased ATK. Channel Darkness will become more efficient for Dark Choco Cookie, and his DMG Resist will increase.

Dark Cacao Cookie (Dragon Lord) (Korean: 용군주: 다크카카오 쿠키, yong-gunju: daku-kakao kuki) is the Awakened version of Head Icon Dark Cacao Cookie released alongside Head Icon Peach Blossom Cookie in the Dark Resolution's Glorious Return update (v5.6). He is the first Ancient Hero to Awaken. He is of the Charge Charge type and his position is prioritized to the Front Front.

After nearly returning to flour courtesy of Head Icon Mystic Flour Cookie, the fiery Resolution in his heart grew stronger — the same fire that protected his kingdom from the creatures of the Licorice Sea. He defied Mystic Flour Cookie's idea of enlightenment and allied with the dragons who were once bound to his sword and Awoken.

Game Description Once, a lone sovereign's head bowed in despair behind the impenetrable walls of his castle. Shrouded in darkness, his past was riddled with trials and tribulations—challenges that would have crumbled ordinary Cookies. Enemies tried to infiltrate the walls, greedy hands sought the crown, and even his own son betrayed him. Despite his bitter and destitute life, two things never lost their shine: his pride as a ruler and his resolve, pitch dark as obsidian. Even when his dough crumbled from scaling the rocky mountains, even when he lost everything and everyone dear to him, his resolution remained unwavering and true. Now, he stands stronger than ever, commanding the two dragons that resting(sic) on his shoulders. This Cookie does not cower behind walls. He stands tall and regal, revered by his loyal subjects. His sword is raised high in triumph, sworn to protect the Cookie world, and his name is none other than… Dark Cacao Cookie.

Personality part 2: During his youth, Dark Choco Cookie was the cause of the Dark Cacao Kingdom's violent downfall. However, it can be said that such actions were not entirely his fault; they occurred immediately after he pulled the dark Strawberry Jam Sword, which is known for having mind-altering passive abilities similar to hypnotism. Regardless, it is clear that Dark Choco Cookie feels deep regret for these actions and believes that he alone ought to be punished.

Before the downfall of the Dark Cacao Kingdom, Dark Choco Cookie was outwardly confident and quite the go-getter. Despite his royal background, he was very charitable and highly concerned with the welfare of others, protecting those in need in his naïve quest to follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a hero and savior of his kingdom. He was known to be particularly skilled in combat as he is known to have defeated Head Icon Purple Yam Cookie in a tournament. Presently, it does seem that he continues to harbor his care for others though he cannot often act on such a trait if at all. Due to being saved from wolves by Dark Choco Cookie in the past, Head Icon Milk Cookie holds him in high regard and considers him a true hero.

Dark Choco Cookie most likely has post-traumatic stress disorder. This can easily be seen in his being constantly haunted by his past and his profound grief towards his actions, as well as his emotional breakdown caused by Pomegranate Cookie's cruel illusions depicting the things he regrets most. He likely has a depressive disorder as well, what with his persistent somber attitude and forlorn outlook on life.

Personality Dark Choco Cookie is a quiet, reserved individual. He has very low self-esteem, nearly constantly reflecting on his regretful past and lamenting how everyone is afraid of him. Truly, the only instances in which Dark Choco Cookie expresses confidence are when acknowledges the fearful power the Strawberry Jam Sword has given him. When interacting with those he has no obligation to oppose, he is relatively polite though he can become short towards others. Perhaps due both to his low self-image and his Dark Cacao origins, Dark Choco Cookie is highly against allowing himself anything pleasurable in life.

Though he was once affiliated with the Darkness, he seeks no destruction and chaos against the world unlike much of Head Icon Dark Enchantress Cookie's forces—the exact circumstances of his recruitment are currently unknown even to other members of the group such as Head Icon Licorice Cookie. Dark Choco Cookie followed the Darkness due to his guilt and self-belittling due to his past actions, believing that someone as supposedly foul as himself deserves only the worst. He constantly endured abuse from those in Dark Enchantress Cookie's ranks and Dark Enchantress Cookie herself. Head Icon Pomegranate Cookie was a prime culprit in the derision against Dark Choco Cookie, often forcing him to relive his traumatic past with her illusory magic as punishment for not being truly dedicated to the Darkness's cause. In fact, after being defeated by GingerBrave and company both in the Hall of Enlightenment and the Timeless Kingdom, he did seem to wish to join the party when they offered such to him. However, he declined, stating that the painful path of Darkness was what he deserved.

Appearance: Dark Choco Cookie is a Cookie of russet brown complexion and a tall, broad build. His carmine right eye sits half-lidded in a pensive expression; the other is forced shut from an old scar which vertically scores it. His lips generally portray no emotion and his brow is slightly furrowed by default. The knight's hair is straight and cut a simple, middle-part bob, taking a deep raven color with two bold streaks of white like that of Head Icon his father. His hair is often rendered with dim red rim-lighting to provide contrast against the rest of his design, though this is only a stylistic choice.

Dark Choco Cookie's getup is very modest and unobtrusive, befitting his quiet personality. He wears simple black plate armor detailed with a distinguishable fauld, greaves, and pauldrons. Offset from his base armor is a grim mantle on his shoulders, having a large, deep cacao cloak that envelops his body, and two oversized, semicircle pauldrons. The pauldrons emulate two halves of an Oreo cookie: each consists of two outer onyx layers sandwiching a creamy white center, much like the real-life sandwich cookies. Their outer layers are each emblazoned with a wine purple concentric design of a circle surrounded by alternating diamonds and starbursts, also resembling the embossed pattern of an Oreo.

Prior to the events of Citadel of the Frozen Cliff, Dark Choco Cookie would always be seen toting the cursed Strawberry Jam Sword. This medieval-style greatsword has a broad, white steel blade; its ricasso is thin and long and its weak juts out in a diamond shape. The hilt consists of a cross guard of two symmetrical elements akin to Dark Choco Cookie's outer pauldrons, a rainguard supporting a menacing ruby in a starburst shape, and a simple grip and pommel, all taking a dark slate tone.

Dark Choco Cookie (Korean: 다크초코 쿠키, daku-choko kuki) is a former major antagonist of Cookie Run: Kingdom and an Epic Cookie available since launch. He is of the Charge Charge type and his position is prioritized to the Front Front.

Dark Choco Cookie is the son of Head Icon Dark Cacao Cookie and the former prince of the fallen Dark Cacao Kingdom. He plays a leading role in the Dark Mode Story, and a major role in the stories of Snow on the Black Wall and Citadel of the Frozen Cliff.

Game Description: Long ago, this Cookie stepped into the world of Darkness to become a hero, but fate had a different plan: Dark Choco Cookie was unfortunate enough to happen upon the forbidden Strawberry Jam Sword. As soon as the would-be hero grasped the weapon, the dark power of the magic sword took over. From that moment on, Dark Choco Cookie's life changed forever. Now, dark clouds and thunderstorms follow this ill-fated Cookie, feared by all. It is said that Dark Choco Cookie is still fighting against the magic sword's control.

Appearance: Salt Cellar Cookie has pale white dough and a body wrapped in armor resembling a salt cellar. She appears to be blind in the left eye, which is white and unblinking, while the right one is grayish black with a rectangular light gray eyelash above it and a smaller square lower eyelash under it. Her Alice blue hair is long and flowing, starting over the left eye, with a short braid in a square shape at the back of her head, and at the rear. Her arms are black but fade to a dark gray color at her hands, which may suggest the rest of her body is black.

She wears silver armor in the shape of a trapezoid, with diamond patterns at the bottom on the sides and a triangular pattern on the front. Her left shoulder is adorned with a pauldron. Her right hand is covered by a silver armored glove.

Her staff is a mix of gray and black, with a diamond point at the bottom and an upside-down Fleur-de-lis at the top.

Skill:

Knight of Solidarity: Salt Cellar Cookie's indomitable will fills the space, dealing damage and summoning 4 Kala Namak Knights. She will grant HP Shields and the Proven Worth buff to the team.

Salt Cellar Cookie (Korean: 솔트셀러맛 쿠키, soltuselleo-mat kuki) is an Epic Cookie released in the Hope for Freedom update (v6.10) alongside Head Icon White Lily Cookie (Dawnbringer). She is of the defense Defense type and her position is prioritized to the front Front.

She was previously referred to as Calm Kala Namak Knight.

Game Description: The lone guardian of the Catacombs, silent even as she swings her weapon, clad head to toe in heavy armor. Ages ago, this Cookie belonged to the knightly order of Kala Namak, messengers of Solidarity. At the time, none of the knights possessed a keener understanding of this Virtue than Salt Cellar Cookie. Head Icon Lord Commander's recognition led to her appointment as Master of the Trials—for only those who could overcome her challenges might earn the title of true knight. Yet even Salt Cellar Cookie could not escape tragedy. Once hailed as "the Order's Bastion," she remained in the depths of the Catacombs as her gleaming armor dulled with time. Though her spirit may have withered in the endless dark, her faith has never faltered. There, where even echoes fail to return, Salt Cellar Cookie whispers softly: "Embrace the downtrodden. Remember the tormented."

Personality: Capsaicin Cookie is a friendly, extroverted, and passionate Cookie with a love for competition and challenges. He attends the academy of Scovillia, where he is highly popular with both the student body and faculty for his power, charm, and fiery attitude. His reputation precedes him to the point that any Scovillian would be eager to call him the "Spice Overlord," a term of endearment reflecting both his red-hot abilities and his zeal, and to immediately elect him as the school's representative in the Triple Cone Cup.

Even so, in the beginning of the Triple Cone Cup Story, Capsaicin Cookie's confidence was merely a facade: one made to hide his deep-rooted anxiety regarding his powers and the real possibility of hurting others with them. Furthermore, it is revealed that he chained himself away for a majority of his past due to his dangerous abilities, reinforcing his self-loathing. Later in the Triple Cone Cup, he is counseled by Head Icon Prune Juice Cookie (though rather insensitively) into unleashing his power, and immediately feels refreshed, capable, and unafraid, leading to his current unabashed self.

After this, Capsaicin Cookie embodies true determination rather than feigned self-assurance. He is now at his happiest: he often boasts on his tenacity and proudly calls himself the Spice Overlord, a name he had once despised. Even with this newfound mettle, the Spice Overlord holds a heart of burning gold: he encourages teamwork and much of his time is spent lifting others up to help them reach their full potential.

Appearance: Capsaicin Cookie is a tall and muscular Cookie with charcoal gray dough. He has long and unruly flaming hair and large dark horns that crack, revealing lava underneath. He has tangerine-orange eyes with red pupils and a mouth of pointed teeth.

Capsaicin Cookie wears a black sash and belt with a hexagonal buckle, along with matching black pants and jagged boots. He wears a red floor-length cape with fur trim resembling fire and fastened with a horned skull with menacing red eyes. On his wrists are two broken black shackles.

Capsaicin Cookie's Spice Overlord form is composed of bright red bubbling magma, save for his bright orange flaming hair, and the black hardened magma covering his fists, horns, and shoulders. He has no visible legs in this form, and the skull that normally adorns his cape can be seen floating within his chest.

The name Spice Overlord and his now-melted shackles were once a reminder of his pained past, but fear not! Capsaicin Cookie will never lose himself as long as he's able to face his own spice!
