Patapon RPG

Appearance
They are square-shaped and black and have a red eye, in contrast to the white eye color and round shape of the Patapons. The first Zigotons you will encounter are at a novice rank, and they have basic wooden weapons. As the game progresses, the Zigotons are equipped with more powerful weapons, such as Flame Bows, and Scorching Spears. There is an elite version of Zigotons, called the professional Zigotons, who wear woolen caps and are always better equipped (Flame Weapons, Heavy Shields etc.). They appear to be the bodyguards, or personal army of Gong the Hawkeye.

History
Group of low ranking Zigatons.
Low ranking Zigotons.
A Zigoton prophecy once said: "If the Patapons reach Earthend, the Zigoton empire would be destroyed". Because of this the Zigotons started a war against Patapons to prevent them to reach Earthend. However the Zigotons were not prepared for the return of Almighty, who aided the Patapons back to glory. General Gong tried to stop the Patapons, because if they would progress too much then the Zigoton leader Queen Kharma would sell her soul to demons. The Patapons manage to defeat Gong, Zigoton generals, Kharma and even the Great Demon that the Zigotons summoned.

Pon-Pon-Chaka-Chaka (○ ○ △ △)
The Hold-Tight Hoe-Down (Concerto of Charge in Patapon 3) charges up the Patapons' energy, increasing the power of their next attack or defence. Tatepons, Dekapons and Robopons have some attacks that only the Pon Chaka command can activate. Megapons have a special defense only seen after using the Pon Chaka song, and then using the Chaka Chaka song.

Don-Don-Chaka-Chaka (× × △ △)
The Melody with a Bounce (Jingle of Jump in Patapon 3) made its debut in Patapon 2, sending Patapons high into the air for a little while. the player can use this song to evade certain attacks that cannot be avoided with the Requiem of Retreat, such as earthquakes and lasers. Be warned, however, that the reverse is also true: some attacks can only be dodged by retreating, while a few other cannot be dodged at all.
Pata-Pon-Don-Chaka (□ ○ × △)
The Ballad of 1999 (Pizzicato of Party in Patapon 3) is another song first seen in Patapon 2. It cures any status effects afflicting the Patapons, also preventing further effects from harming them until the next command is issued. In Patapon 3, this song also adds a good amount of Summon Energy when played, allowing the army to summon a Djinn more quickly.

Don-DoDon-DoDon (X XX XX)
The Song of Miracles activates the currently equipped miracle or Djinn in Patapon 3. After performing the song, the player has to match the beats shown on-screen to charge up the miracle's power: the better the player does, the longer the miracle's effects last. Djinns in Patapon 3 works differently.

Pon-Pon-Pon-Pon (○○○○)
This unnamed song is only used at the start of the game to wake up Hatapon (and Uberhero in 3) and unlock the Pata Drum. Does nothing for the rest of the game.

Pata-Pata-Pata-Pon (□ □ □ ○)
The March of Mobility (Onward March in Patapon 3) allows the Patapons to move forward. Tatepons/Taterazay will move with their shields raised, providing some damage reduction to the squad. Best used to advance on enemies and structures.

Pon-Pon-Pata-Pon (○ ○ □ ○)
The Aria of Attack commands Patapons to use their weapons on the nearest target. Each Patapon has a set range in which they will attempt to hit foes, and a skilled commander will make full use of this knowledge to make preemptive strikes on unaware enemies or to hit an advancing creature with the full force of their army.

Chaka-Chaka-Pata-Pon (△ △ □ ○)
The Lament of Defense pulls the Patapons back around Hatapon, increasing their damage resistance. Tatepons will raise their shields to further decrease damage, and Mahopons will perform special spells depending on their equipped staff. Some Patapon classes will still attack during this song, but their weapons will be aimed mostly in front of the squad to deter enemies. This is mostly used to reduce the effect of an enemy strike, but the changed range of attacks can be used to strike enemies that would normally slip under the projectiles.

Pon-Pata-Pon-Pata (○ □ ○ □)
The Requiem of Retreat causes Patapons to stop whatever they're doing and run for their lives. This provides an escape, where as the Lament of Defense defends, Best used against bosses, whose attacks are both more predictable and more powerful than those of standard enemies, beware this doesn't dodge all attacks, nor does it defend if you get hit.

Overview
The Patapons are the main protagonists in the Patapon series, whose ultimate goal is to reach Earthend and gaze upon IT. Guided by the power of Almighty and the rhythm of the Earth, they defeat various tribes and monsters that try and stop their journey.

A Patapon's appearance mainly consists of a circular body with a large eye in the middle, four limbs stemming from said body and small, circular hands and feet. Some types of Patapons may have different proportions of their body parts, like Meden, and some can have mouths, like Dekapons and Megapons. Headwear is considered an integral part of the Patapon appearance, despite not being a part of their biology. For example, Patapons are most often drawn wearing a feather-like cap, and the said appearance is also a symbol of the Patapon tribe.

Patapons reside in Patapolis in a large group, offering their findings to Almighty and venturing together on missions to hunt, conquer, or fight with other tribes.

Priestess Meden is the spiritual leader of the Patapons. She is the chosen link between the tribe and their Almighty.
She appears in Patapolis and gives information to the player in the first two games, often hinting towards the next mission or the backstory of the game.

She is often kidnapped by Zigotons or Karmens and the Patapons must save Meden in Meden Kidnapped(Patapon) or Rescue Meden (Patapon 2). She also appeared in the Epilogues of each game. In Patapon, she appears when the boat was being built to cross the sea. She also appeared in the Epilogue of the second game when the bridge was being created.
Appearance and Attributes
Meden seems to be a Mahopon with no shoes (or maybe very thin shoes) and has a few physical differences that set her apart from other Patapons. Her limbs are slightly longer than most Patapons in proportion to her body, giving her a more feminine appearance. She wears an elaborate headdress of five coloured feathers instead of a cap or helm, and what could be a green dress, skirt, or cape. Sparkle-shaped earring frames are on each side of her "face", and a ceremonial staff of some sort is in her hand.

Despite being the High Priestess of the Patapon tribe, she still manages to be either humorous or foolish during certain points in the plot. She brags several times throughout both games, and isn't as wise as she would appear to be, thus indicating that she is either a young adult or just plain immature. She sometimes expresses doubt in the prophecy of Earthend (Once saying that she wonders if Earthend is really worth the heavy losses the Patapons are sustaining).

Meden is wise, calm, and kind. She appears to be the only one to be able to talk to the Mighty Patapon (apart from Hatapon, Minigame characters, Silver Hoshipon, Scout, and occasionally, General Gong).

Once upon a time, the Patapon Ancients were near-invincible warriors, powered by the drums of their god. With the power of their Almighty on their side, no enemies were too numerous, monstrous, or powerful for them to defeat. But that was long ago, for the evil armies of the Zigoton Empire have driven the Patapons from their home, a shadow of their former glory. But the Almighty one has returned, and the Patapons again gain the strength to fight their oppressors. and at last find Earthend and "IT".

The Patapons begin a campaign to find "IT", battling both Zigoton soldiers and ancient guardians of long-lost artifacts from their days of glory. The Zigoton general, Gong, makes repeated attempts to stop them, stating that Zigoton prophecy has foretold a great disaster should the Patapons march again. The Patapons also make a bitter enemy in Makoton, a Yariton who sees his best friend Aiton slain by the Almighty's armies and swears vengeance.

The Patapons advance into the very heart of Zigoton territory, where Gong finally falls after Makoton betrays him. In response, Queen Kharma makes a pact with demons, sacrificing the souls of her army, her generals, and eventually herself in order to gain the power to destroy the Patapons once and for all. Despite this, the Patapons continue to fight to advance toward Earthend, defeating the remaining Zigoton warriors, including Makoton, transformed into the demon general Scorpiton by a living gate to the underworld, and defeating the empowered Queen Kharma herself.
