Oboro

Oboro is a character in the BOFURI series. He hatches from a monster egg. Oboro is one of the mythical beasts that had their egg hidden in the game.

Description
Oboro is a white fox with a shimenawa around his neck. He starts with one tail and a simple shimenawa. After his first evolution, he has two tails and his shimenawa becomes fancier.

In the web novel, his egg is a violet color and his fire is a purple color. In the anime, his egg is white and his fire bears the normal yellow-to-red scheme.

Second Event Arc
A pair of eggs were acquired by Maple and Sally after searching the nest of the defeated boss, Silverwing. During their breaks, Maple and Sally used their bodies to incubate the eggs. The violet egg chosen by Sally hatched into a small white fox with one tail and a shimenawa around its neck. Sally named him Oboro.

Guild Founding Arc
After Mai and Yui were recruited, Sally fought solo against the 1st layer boss alongside Oboro. Maple was impressed by Oboro's growth.

Companions Arc
After Maple and Sally stumbled upon a key-item orb, they decided to try and discover its purpose. Their search for clues led them to discover a map and Kanade's wisdom told them about a city. Although the city was in ruins, Maple and Sally were able to use their key items to teleport to town where only animals could be seen.

Maple and Sally followed Syrup and Oboro as they moved outside the town to a watering place made of stone. After being put inside the water and pulled out, Oboro evolved. Visibly, he had a second tail and his accessories had become fancier.
