Demi-Hollow

Earthbound spirits

These are leeches spit out by ghosts that are able to explode with a mere thought of the ghost.

Hollows

Menos

This is a gigantic hollow formed by many small hollows combining.

Grimmjow has light blue hair, and his eyes have blue/green lines below them that are similar to the red marks on Ikkaku Madarame's eyes. In Grimmjow's first appearance in the anime, which is in the opening theme for episode 94, his hair is slightly darker. His attire consists of a ragged white jacket with black inner lining, sleeves rolled up and the collar turned up. The jacket is left open, revealing his chest, a white hakama, and a black sash. As with many other arrancar revealed thus far, the hole that should have been on his chest has moved, in Grimmjow's case to his abdomen. The remains of his hollow mask are on his right cheek, consisting of the jawbone on that side.

Grimmjow is the 6th Espada in Sōsuke Aizen's army of arrancar, meaning he is the 6th strongest arrancar. A crooked number 6 is tattooed on Grimmjow's back just above the hollow hole on the right side. Aizen personally marks the Espada, the ten most powerful of his arrancar, with such tattoos of their respective ranks. The tattoo serves as proof of their rank and power. After Kaname Tōsen cut off and burned his arm, Grimmjow was no longer a member of the Espada, having been replaced by Luppi. After Orihime Inoue healed his arm, he killed Luppi to regain his rank. Grimmjow is the first character revealed as an Espada in the series. His menos class before becoming an arrancar is unknown.

Luppi temporarily replaces Grimmjow Jeagerjaques as the 6th Espada when Grimmjow is demoted by the loss of his arm. Luppi is a youthful Espada with short black hair and a rather feminine face. The remains of his hollow mask (a top row of teeth) rests on the left side of his head, looking like a hair comb or barette. Luppi's attire consists of long sleeves that fall past his hands, hiding them. The location of his hollow hole is hidden from view, but his Espada tattoo is prominently displayed on his right hip. Luppi tends to be rather arrogant, insulting Grimmjow for his lowered rank and boasting constantly when in battle. He tends to say "Sorry!" in a mocking tone after insulting somebody. After Grimmjow's arm is restored, he kills Luppi to regain his Espada rank. Luppi and Gin Ichimaru seem to have been on good terms, as Gin comments about being lonely after Luppi's death, citing the fact that the two often talked.^[9]

Luppi's zanpakutō is Trepadora (蔦嬢（トレパドーラ）, Torepadōra^?, Spanish for "climber," Japanese for "ivy girl") a short blade resembling a kodachi or tantō that he wears close to the armpit. Trepadora is released with the command "strangle" (縊れ, kubire^?).^[10] When Trepadora is released, eight tendrils sprout from a carapace mounted on Luppi's back. Luppi's mask also changes, growing into a makeshift helmet. Luppi can freely and independently control these tentacles to attack his opponents, making him skilled at group combat. The tentacles can also grow spikes to cause additional damage. The carapace can also rotate, allowing Luppi to spin the tentacles like helicopter blades.

Yammy is a giant, dark-skinned arrancar with an odd, ridge-lined cranium bearing a resemblance to the example adjuchas-class menos shown in episode 115. He has long, bushy sideburns and a thin ponytail, but aside from that, he is bald. He also has red markings under his eyes. Like all arrancar, he has a large hole signifying his previous time as a hollow in his chest. What remains of his hollow mask is the jawbone (complete with teeth), which rests on his chin.

Yammy is portrayed as arrogant and confident in his abilities. He's also quite brutal, shown when an arrancar medic re-attaches his severed arm. To test it, he slays the medic on the spot. He relies on his superior, Ulquiorra, to explain things and give him orders while in battle, but is shown to function well without him during the final Karakura raid.

Noitora is an extremely tall and lanky arrancar, dwarfing Chad by at least a foot, even when leaning over. He has long, black hair and always wears a huge smile on his face which reveals his upper teeth. He wears an eye patch, six bracelets, and his arrancar uniform includes an overblown, spoon-like hood. He seems rude and lecherous, accented by his snake-like eyes and his name for Orihime Inoue, "pet-sama". The remains of his hollow mask are not visible, possibly being obscured by his hood or his eyepatch. Despite the fact he initially comes off as very sadistic, he has no desire to kill weaklings because it doesn't help prove that he is the strongest Espada.

Despite his fragile and thin appearance, Noitora is quite powerful, able to fend of the full power of Chad's attack arm without any sign of injury and cut through his defense arm in a single swing. His rank is unknown, but his conversation with the arrancar Tesla implies he is not the top-ranked Espada, though he thinks of himself as such and is constantly trying to prove it.

Shawlong Koufang has a long face and black hair, which is braided and usually hanging over his shoulder. What remains of his mask is on the top of his head, but a portion drops down covering part of his face. Shawlong is an intellectual, or at least an analyst, able to confidently state the nature of his opponent's powers. He is killed by Tōshirō Hitsugaya.

Shawlong was a member, and possibly the leader, of a group formed by himself, Edrad Liones, Yylfordt Granz, Di Roy, and Nakeem. They wanted to become vasto lordes by eating other hollows and thereby decided to join forces with the adjuchas-class menos, Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, whom Shawlong proposed be their "king". However, upon learning that they could evolve no further, Shawlong asked him to devour the five of them, though evidently he did not do so and treated him and his other followers as Fracción.

Shawlong's zanpakutō is named Tijereta (五鋏蟲（ティヘレタ）, Tihereta^?, Spanish for "earwig," Japanese for "five-pincered insect"). It is released with the phrase "snip" (裁て, tate^?). When released, Shawlong grows armor covering his arms and upper chest with his hands transforming into long claws, his mask extends down to cover the left side of his face and his queue becomes a tail with claws.

Edrad Liones appears to be a very large man, with long red hair; however, half of his hair is shaved and black. The remains of his hollow mask are merely the eye holes, which rest on his nose, and it essentially looks as if he wears unusual glasses. He is killed by Ikkaku Madarame.

Edrad's zanpakutō is named Volcánica (火山獣（ボルカニカ）, Borukanika^?, Spanish for "volcano," Japanese for "volcanic beast") and is released by the phrase "awake" (起きろ, okiro^?). When Volcanica is released, his mask disappears and his arms are covered in what looks like volcanic rock, becoming much longer and wider in the process. An exhaust spout is located on each shoulder. He is able to shoot fire from his fists in this form.

Yylfordt is a sarcastic, effeminate arrancar with long blond hair. What remains of his hollow mask is on the top of his head, and looks like a broken helmet. He commonly refers to other characters as "brother" when speaking. He was the older brother of Szayel Aporro Granz, the 8th Espada. Yylfordt is fairly powerful for his rank, able to fight off Renji Abarai's bankai (at 20% power) without releasing his zanpakutō. In contrast, however, he is little match for the surprisingly strong Ururu Tsumugiya in his normal state, but easily dispatches her once he releases his zanpakutō. He is eventually killed by Renji, who notes that if Yylfordt hadn't been distracted, he might not have been able to defeat him.

Yylfordt's zanpakutō is named Del Toro (蒼角王子（デルトロ）, Derutoro^?, Spanish for "of the bull," Japanese for "pale-horned prince") and is released by the phrase "skewer" (焼串, tsukikudake^?). When Del Toro is released, Yylfordt's upper body enlarges and is covered in bull-like armor, while his mask seems to completely regenerate, giving him horns. In this form, he walks on four legs and uses his horns to skewer opponents.

Di Roy's hollow mask remains are bulky and similar in shape to a hammerhead shark. The right-hand side of his mask is wrapped in bandages, which obscures his right eye — the bandages are meant to hide an injury given to him by Grimmjow when he was still a menos. When the bandages are unwrapped, there is a gash on the top of his mask. Identical to a hollow's eye, his right eye is a white circle surrounded by black shadows. He has square, shark-like teeth. He seems to love killing as seen from his disappointment in not being able to kill Yasutora Sado. He is noted for carrying his zanpakutō in his hands for much of his screentime.

Di Roy is killed by Rukia Kuchiki when she unveils her zanpakutō's shikai during the second attack on Karakura Town. During the battle, he claims that his "true battlefield is in the sky," suggesting that he fights better in the air; however, most arrancar seem to prefer this method of fighting. Di Roy is substantially weaker than his brethren, to the point that Yylfordt scornfully refers to him as an "arrancar in name only."

Nakim

Nakeem is a fat, silent arrancar, his only significant speech being an answer to a question shortly before his death. The remains of his hollow mask cover the entire right side of his face. Nakeem is killed by Rangiku Matsumoto. The name and exact abilities of Nakeem's zanpakutō are unknown, but in the later stages of his battle with Rangiku, he appears to have grown to an enormous size, large enough to crush her under his foot. Curiously, his physical appearance, height aside, did not change at all. Before becoming an arrancar, Nakeem had not yet evolved beyond the form of a gillian-class menos: aside from his unique mask, his appearance was no different from a standard gillian.

Wonderwice is a small, thin, and somewhat child-like arrancar. He is blonde, with lavender eyes, freckles, and buck teeth. Wonderwice looks somewhat like a younger Kisuke Urahara or a male version of the vizard Hiyori. What is left of his hollow mask remains on top of his head, and resembles a tiara or small crown. His hollow hole, like other arrancar, has moved. It is slightly lower than that of a typical hollow, closer to the base of his rib cage. His arrancar uniform is also slightly different, having an open area on the chest, revealing his hollow hole. He also wears a studded collar around the fully-zipped collar of his jacket.

Wonderwice's personality is child-like, much like his appearance. When sent on a mission to kill, he just played around with a dragonfly. He shows a bit of hostility at one point, firing a retaliatory blast when blocked by Kisuke Urahara, but quickly reverts back to his regular state after doing so. He isn't able to speak clearly, only saying a few syllables at a time like a child would. Kaname Tōsen says that Wonderwice is a pure being (like himself) and that pure beings often tend to stick together, which is why Wonderwice follows him everywhere when possible.

Wonderwice was created by Sōsuke Aizen as a new addition to his arrancar army. It was implied that he was an Espada by Soul Society. However, he was not present at the meeting of the Espada, suggesting that even though he isn't one, he is just as strong.

Dordonii resembles a stereotypical portrayal of the Devil. His hair is done into a pair of "horns" and he has a van-dyke beard and mustache. The remains of his hollow mask consist of a small plate with horns mirroring those in his hair. In comparison with the other arrancar, he has a more goofy personality, similar to Don Kanonji's. He is much more serious in battle, however. During his battle with Ichigo Kurosaki, Dordonii refers to Ichigo as "niño" (Spanish for "boy") and tries to goad him into using his hollow mask, hoping to earn his former position back by defeating Ichigo at full power. He is defeated once Ichigo complies, and thanks Ichigo for the favor by fighting against the Exequias to buy Ichigo time to escape. He is implied to have been killed by the Exequias.

Dordonii's zanpakutō is named Giralda (暴風男爵（ヒラルダ）, Hiraruda^?, referring to Giralda, Japanese for "storm baron") and is released with the phrase "whirl" (旋れ, maware^?). When Giralda is released, Dordonii grows large horns on his shoulders and armor that starts at his feet, wraps around his calves, and juts out at his waist with two more spikes. His mask also extends, framing his face. While released, two enormous cyclones come from the armor in his legs which keeps him hovering in the air, as well as adding extra force to his kicks. In addition, two bird-like extensions jut out from these cyclones, which are used to execute long-range strikes, though Dordonii is also capable of manifesting many more if the need arises. Dordonii is able to release his zanpakutō without unsheathing it.

Cirucci Thunderwitch

Cirucci's appearance is akin to the gothic lolita style of Japanese fashion. Her outfit consists of a frilly dress, large poofy sleeves that cut off at her shoulder, short purple-colored hair, teardrop markings on each cheek, and knee-high boots. Cirucci has wings on her back, but it is unclear if they are part of her outfit or something else. The remains of her hollow mask are positioned in her hair right above the left side of her forehead and resemble a spiked hairpin. Despite her rather odd appearance, she has no qualms about pointing out when others have similar habits, as she does to Uryū Ishida. She also gets quite bothered if an enemy attacks her while she is talking. Once Uryū defeats her, she is implied to have been killed by the Exequias.

Cirucci's zanpakutō is named Golondrina (車輪鉄燕（ゴロンドリーナ）, Gorondorīna^?, Spanish for "swallow," Japanese for "car-wheel iron swallow") and is released with the phrase "rip off" (掻っ切れ, kakkire^?). In its unreleased state, it takes the form of a whip with a chakram looped into it that is capable of deflecting incoming projectiles in addition to its function as a standard whip. When she releases it, Cirucci sprouts large wings with ten moon-shaped blades in place of feathers. In addition to their normal offensive and defensive properties, Cirucci can remove these blades and fire them through the air or summon them back at her own will. Her wings and feathers vibrate at high speeds that increase her attack and defense capabilities. Her arms also become long and she gains sharp claws on each hand. Armor that resembles the spinning disk of her zanpakutō appears on each of her shoulders. Her mask grows into 'feathers' flowing from her forehead, down her back, and then coming out from each side at her waist. Cirucci's release consumes her spiritual powers rapidly, but she can get around that problem by ripping off her wings and long claws, instead using the tip of her elongated mask to collect spiritual energy and use it to fight (this change is permanent though).

Gantenbainne has an afro-style haircut with thick sideburns and a goatee. His outfit has been modified to match his particular style, including large frills on his collar and thighs. The remains of his hollow mask are a sunglasses-shaped plate on his forehead with four teeth coming out above each eye. There is a star in the center of the mask fragment, which allows Gantenbainne to see when he pulls the plate down over his eyes. During his battle with Yasutora Sado, he inadvertently helps Chad unlock his true potential, since Chad's powers are similar to those of hollows. Gantenbainne is defeated by Chad, who spares him in thanks for fighting with all of his strength and helping him grasp his full power. After being defeated, he warns Chad of an incoming Nnoitra who easily dispatches him with one hit. After Chad's defeat, both he and Chad are found lying unconscious on the ground by the Exequias. Captain Unohana intervenes before they can be killed.

Gantenbainne's zanpakutō is called Dragra (龍拳（ドラグラ）, Doragura^?, Japanese for "dragon fist"). In its sealed state, it exists as a pair of two-pronged punching daggers attached to Gantenbainne's wrists by hinges. When Dragra is released, Gantenbainne's arms grow longer and become covered in dome-shaped, armor plates, and the punching daggers come to resemble dragon heads. Similar plates also extend down his back and form a tail, giving him an appearance similar to an armadillo. He pulls his mask fragment over his eyes in combat. When attacking, his tail emits energy that he gathers in his hands and shoots forward in one powerful blast, destroying everything in its path. Before doing so, Gantenbainne says to himself, "Dios, ruego nos perdone." in Spanish meaning, "God, please forgive us."

Demōra is a large, frog-like arrancar with short dreadlocks and abnormally long arms. His hollow mask covers the top half of his face, the left half of which is shattered by Chad during their battle. Demōra's low intelligence is the cause of his inhuman appearance (arrancar appear more human by virtue of their intelligence); nonetheless, he is still furious when labeled as such by Iceringer. Demōra's lanky body and distinctive mask design are possibly meant to resemble stilt-walkers and festive masks.

Demōra's usual method of attack involves gathering spiritual energy from his surroundings (similar to the Quincy), concentrating it in his palm, and releasing it as he strikes his opponent. His special attack is to use his long, whip-like tongue to attack opponents. While his method of fighting works well against projectile users, thanks to his long arms (his power also disrupts Uryū's attempts to form his bow), his strength is lacking, and as such he is easily defeated by Chad.

Iceringer is one of the few arrancar individually shown before the introduction of the species, appearing as a shadowy figure when Grand Fisher is first sent to the human world. He has a very bulky mask which resembles a bird's head, the only open part being the upper-left half of his face. To go with the mask, he has spikes running down the length of his back, as well as thin, skeletal wings and fingers. He doesn't appear to have any feet, instead floating a few feet off of the ground with one cone-like appendage instead of legs. Unlike Demōra, Iceringer doesn't take offense at being called inhuman, stating that he and Demōra deserted their human forms to gain greater power.

Iceringer is a long-range fighter, using his wings and fingers to fire projectiles while using his speed to keep away from his enemies and dodge attacks. His special attack is called Uña Tirotear (翼状爪弾（ウニャ・ティロテアル）, Unya Tirotearu^?, Spanish for "to shoot a nail," Japanese for "wing-shaped claw bullet") which rapidly fires projectiles to a limit of 108 simultaneous shots. Despite his large firing rate, he is easily overpowered and defeated by Uryū Ishida, whose firing limit is roughly twelve times that of Iceringer. He dies when the room collapses after his and Demōra's defeat, but not before telling Uryū that Aizen fears nothing, and that is the reason the arrancar follow Aizen's path.

Tesla is a slim, male arrancar with blond hair. He has an odd blue marking on his right cheek and wears an eyepatch over his right eye. Tesla also wears a different style jacket from most arrancar in that it resembles a lab coat. The remains of his hollow mask appear to be a thin upper jaw which forms a circlet around his forehead. He appears to be Nnoitra's Fracción, assisting him wherever he goes. Tesla seems to idolize Nnoitra to a degree, his eyepatch (though not identical) echoing that of his master. This is also shown when he stands by his act of shielding Nnoitra against Chad's last assault, despite criticism from Nnoitra himself. Nnoitra first instructs Tesla to restrain Orihime while the Espada fights Ichigo, and later to finish off Ichigo. He mercilessly beats the weakened Ichigo in his released state until he is stopped and killed by Kenpachi Zaraki.

Tesla's zanpakutō is Verruga (牙鎧士（ベルーガ）, Berūga^?, Spanish for "wart," Japanese for "tusked armored warrior"). He releases it with the phrase "crush" (打ち伏せろ, uchifusero^?) When sealed, it takes the form of a rapier with a chakram embedded in the blade just above the hilt. Tesla can make the ring solid if he wishes, as seen when he blocks an attack from Chad using the solid ring then converts it back to a hollow one after Chad has fallen. The guard seems to be made of a kind of scaled ribbing. When released, Tesla becomes a large, warthog-like creature. His mask grows to cover his entire face, and also produces a pair of tusks. His hair also grows into a mane. In his released form, Tesla's mask has a large scar covering his right eye, where he has an eyepatch on his unreleased form. In his released form, Tesla uses brute force to defeat his opponents.

Neliel Tu Oderschvank, otherwise known as Nel Tu^[3] (ネル・トゥ, Neru Tu^?), is a good-natured, child-like arrancar when first introduced. The remains of her hollow mask make up a cartoonish skull on the top of her head. Nel's appearance is in stark contrast to her vocabulary, which contains a number of bizarre phrases and words one wouldn't expect such a small child to know, such as referring to herself as a masochist. Ichigo assumes her hollow companions are responsible for this. Nel and her companions also represent oddities among hollows. Though most hollows are evil, Nel actually fears shinigami, assuming they are in fact the evil ones. In spite of this, she develops an attachment to Ichigo and follows him into Las Noches.

Nel's true form is that of a fully-grown woman with longer hair but otherwise similar features. Her skull mask changes slightly, its features appearing less cartoonish with a pair of curved horns. A large "3" tattooed on her back indicates that she was previously the 3rd Espada.^[4] She was expelled from Las Noches by Nnoitra Jiruga after a sneak attack by him and Szayel Aporro Granz caused her to revert to her child-form and gave her amnesia. Because of her amnesia, she is initially doubtful when Nnoitra identifies her as a former Espada, but when he begins harming Ichigo, Nel's concern causes her to spontaneously transform into her previous form. Although having grown up physically, she still seems to have her child-like affection over Ichigo, as she suddenly hugs after attacking Nnoitra without realizing that Ichigo was losing consciousness. She reverts back to her child form, with no apparent memory of what had just occurred, before she can defeat Nnoitra and is left at his mercy.

Ghost Types

Hollows

• Fishbone D
• Hexapodus
• Acidwire
• Shrieker
• Bulbous G
• Numb Chandelier
• Pesh Gatiishe
• Dondo Chakker
• Bawabawa
• Lunuganga

Aaroniero Arruruerie was a gillian, the weakest class of menos, before becoming an arrancar,^[13] and the last of the first-generation Espada.^[14] He usually covers his face with a white mask covered in holes while in the light. In place of a normal head, he has a large, glass capsule filled with red liquid and two floating heads. The two heads are both tattooed with the number 9 and tend to talk in tandem when revealed, giving the effect of two people speaking at once. In the anime, one head speaks with a deep voice while the other speaks in a high-pitched, child-like voice.

While all hollows can cannibalize each other to gain power, Aaroniero has the ability to completely absorb other hollows, merging not only their extra power with his own but also gaining their individual abilities.^[15] Once a hollow is absorbed in this fashion, Aaroniero can manifest any aspect of them at will, including their physical form.^[15] It is for this reason that Aaroniero, despite his gillian status, was able to become an Espada (though its unknown if this same process inhibited his evolution into an Adjuchas). Through an unusual series of events, he also absorbs the shinigami abilities of Kaien Shiba by eating Metastacia. The weakness of this power is sunlight, which nullifies it on contact and reveals Aaroniero's true form.^[16] Aaroniero also has the ability to broadcast information of whatever he is currently seeing or experiencing to other arrancar,^[17] which he does prior to his death at the hands of Rukia Kuchiki.

• Lilinette (リリネット, Ririnetto^?)

Stark's Fracción, or attendant, Lilinette is a young, female arrancar with a "mask helmet" much like that of Ulquiorra Cifer's. Her helmet differs in that it is a complete helmet, not merely half of one. A sort of eyepiece also extends over her left eye, decorated with a flame-like pattern. Her outfit is quite revealing, consisting of little more than a pair of briefs and a vest strapped over her torso, with her hollow hole positioned prominently in the center of the outfit. She seems quite mischievous in that she enjoys waking Stark up in unusual ways: first by shoving her fist in his throat, then by squeezing his testicles. Despite her initially childish behavior, she does seem to show some concern for the ominous occurrences in Hueco Mundo.

• Szayel Aporro Granz's Fracción

Szayel Aporro Granz's Octava Fracción are a group of hollows that were personally modified by Szayel before being turned into arrancar by Aizen. Most of them are incomplete arrancar; they neither carry zanpakutō nor do they appear entirely human. Only three are named, the two main ones being Lumina (ルミーナ, Rumīna^?) and Verona (ベローナ, Berōna^?), two very short and obese arrancar who first notify Szayel Aporro of Aaroniero's death. The others also identify a very tall one killed by Ishida as Medazeppi (メダゼピ, Medazepi^?). Aside from their use as subordinates, Szayel has designed them to have alternate, though unconventional, uses. For example, he devoured Lumina to heal himself. These Fracción can apparently be cloned or recreated in some manner, as Szayel notes that he can do just that with Lumina when he has time.

• Apache (アパッチ, Apacchi^?)

A tomboy-ish arrancar among Halibel's Fracción, Apache appears to be closest to Halibel as she's been seen with her earlier when Aaroniero was killed. Apache has a mask fragment on the top of her head with a horn in the middle much like that of a unicorn. She has dark rings around her eyes and her hair is fashioned similar to a bob cut or pageboy. Apache has not been shown to carry a zanpakutō as of yet and the position of her hollow hole is still unknown. She was most recently seen observing Grimmjow and Ichigo's battle with Halibel and the rest of her Fracción.

Wonderweiss Margera

• Wonderweiss Margera (ワンダーワイス・マルジェラ, Wandāwaisu Marujera^?) — Voiced by: Hisayoshi Suganuma

Wonderweiss Margera is an arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army. Though not an Espada, Soul Society ranks his spiritual power in the same class as them.^[22] Wonderweiss is small, thin, and somewhat child-like. What is left of his hollow mask remains on top of his head, and resembles a tiara or small crown. Wonderweiss's personality is also child-like. When sent on a mission to kill, he instead plays around with a dragonfly. He shows a bit of hostility, firing a retaliatory bala blast at one point, but quickly reverts back to his regular state after doing so. He isn't able to speak clearly, only saying a few syllables at a time like a child would. Kaname Tōsen says that Wonderweiss, like himself, is a pure being (though he makes a point of wondering whether he is pure good or evil), which often tend to stick together, causing Wonderweiss to follow him everywhere when possible.^[23]

Wonderweiss's zanpakutō is a large purple sword strapped to his back, about as tall as he is. The hilt resembles a western claymore rather than the more common katana, although the familiar hilt weaving is present. The name and released state of his zanpakutō have not been revealed.

• Patros (パトラス, Patorasu^?) — Voiced by: Tetsuo Kaneo

Patros is an anime-only arrancar with slicked back blue hair, a thin moustache, and notably sunken eyes. His mask covers the left half of his upper face, and his hollow hole is in his stomach. His outfit is similar to Ulquiorra Cifer's, but with a high cut in the jacket that bares his hollow hole. Patros is a capable combatant, being able to match against Renji Abarai.

Dissatisfied with working under a shinigami, Patros steals the Orb of Distortion to mount a coup. He is charismatic enough to have garnered two supporters, who are killed in short order, and shows great pride in his ability, flaunting his powerful sword draws and generally treating opponents as trash. He is killed by Renji with the assistance of Ririn, Kuroud, and Noba. His plot, meanwhile, is revealed to be nothing more than manipulation on Aizen's part. Aizen used this opportunity to eliminate dissension amongst the arrancar ranks and amuse himself in the process. More importantly, however, the distraction of three hostile arrancar allowed Ulquiorra to investigate traces of Orihime's power in preparation for the next stage of Aizen's plans.

• Sun-Sun (スンスン, Sunsun^?)

Sun-Sun is Halibel's third known Fracción. She has long, flowing hair and three dots below her right eye. Her mask remnants create three hair clip-like extensions on the right side of her hair. Her hollow hole isn't visible. Her outfit is a standard arrancar outfit with extremely long sleeves. She also has two belts criss-crossing each other on her waist. She is probably the most mature of Halibel's Fracción, pleading for Apache and Mira Rose to stop arguing, as it makes them look weak.

• Mira Rose (ミラ・ローズ, Mira Rōzu^?)

Another of Halibel's Fracción, Mira Rose is a beautiful female arrancar. She has long, wavy hair and a very revealing outfit. Her outfit, and most notably her skirt, is reminiscent to an ancient Greek warrior's wardrobe, similar to what Xena wears. She has a mask fragment similar to a crown that goes back in three sections around her head and her hollow hole is positioned midway between her navel and breasts. She has been shown to be holding some kind of wrapped stick, but it is unclear if it is her zanpakutō as it has not been entirely shown.

• Aldegor (アルデゴル, Arudegoru^?) — Voiced by: Kenta Miyake

Aldegor is an anime-only arrancar and is taller and bulkier than his companion, with black hair. The remains of his mask cover the upper left quarter of his face. He wears a standard arrancar uniform. He dies of wounds apparently inflicted during his battle with Ikkaku Madarame after expressing regret at having followed Patros.

His zanpakutō is called Avaré (アバレー, Abarē^?). Its sealed appearance is that of a regular katana with blocky, roughly hourglass-shaped guard. When released with the command "get them" (掛かれ, kakare^?), it forms a bulky armor over his torso with several hinged appendages attached to the back; these appendages can be folded in to block attacks. His mask on his face disappears and he grows a new jawbone mask similar to Yammy. He can also fold them around himself to encase himself in a spherical shell that he then uses to ram opponents.

• Unnamed cloning arrancar

Unique to the anime, this unnamed, armadillo-like arrancar is created naturally after he devours an unusually powerful girl as a hollow. In addition to giving him a new form, the girl gives him the power to create copies of his hollow form to do his bidding, collecting souls remotely and transferring the power back to himself. The clones can disguise themselves as the souls they've devoured, allowing them to mask their spiritual power. The arrancar controls the copies through an ocarina-based musical tune, played by the girl when she was alive, which also has the unique ability to force pluses to walk themselves into the jaws of his clones. Finally, the arrancar himself can hide within a small pocket dimension to mask his spiritual power while maintaining the clones, making it nearly impossible to kill him.

The arrancar's zanpakutō is named Dientes (ディエンテス, Dientes^?, Spanish for "Teeth"), and is activated by the command "crunch" (噛み砕け, kamikudake^?). After releasing his zanpakutō, his form changes drastically; his arms and hands turn to large club-like extensions, each with several spikes. A large, snake-like entity also forms above him, which can attack remotely.
