| Overview |
Faudo (ファウード, Faūdo) is a massive, ancient living monster that was artificially created.[1] They are the overarching antagonist of the Faudo arc.
Appearance[]
Faudo is an enormous, humanoid bio-weapon resembling a towering mechanical demon. His body combines metallic armor with organic musculature, giving him a partly robotic, partly living appearance. He has purple-toned limbs fitted with dark armor rings, a broad red chestplate resembling a core or heart, and a head crowned with a tall, blade-like crest. Faudo’s design emphasizes immense strength and intimidation.
Personality[]
Faudo possesses little to no true personality of his own, functioning primarily as a living weapon rather than a sentient being. Created by an unknown mamodo wizard, Faudo’s existence revolves around destruction and domination, his will completely dependent on whoever holds his control device. Despite his immense power and monstrous form, he shows no independent thought, emotion, or morality—obeying commands without question until new orders or control overrides occur. However, his very presence evokes fear and awe. In essence, Faudo embodies raw, unrestrained power—an artificial lifeform whose identity is defined entirely by those who wield him.
Biography[]
Background[]
Faudo is a giant demonic creature made by an unknown wizard in the Mamodo World. But because of its destructive power, Faudo was sealed into a tower form and since then, guarded by a mamodo family. But during the current mamodo battle, a mamodo known as Riou was entrusted with Faudo's control device by his father and created the Faudo Cult.
Part I[]
As Buzarai was defeated, the remaining cultists needed additional power to free Faudo from the seal or allow the sufferers of the Curse to die. Knowing this, Zatch decides to help the Cultists to free Faudo, only to stop it later. The following video shows the spells used to free it.
Faudo's Freedom
Most of the used spells are the Dioga class.
Faudo's brain
Riou's father teleported Faudo to Earth a year after the battle began, in hopes of Riou unlocking the seal in order to win the battle. But in order to do that, Riou needed (including himself) 12 mamodo teams that could use Dioga level spells, and these Mamodo were enlisted either by their own choice or to not lose their life from a curse. Zatch and his other companions ventured off to New Zealand to save Li-en (who was cursed), defeat Riou, and send Faudo back to the Mamodo World. Though later on, the anti-Faudo cultists realized the only way to do this was for Faudo to be released. After Faudo's seal was removed, Riou then ordered it to destroy the anti-Faudo cultists, but was having difficulty doing so because of some tinkering to its system that Kiyo caused the day before. Besides that, the device to send Faudo back to the mamodo world required 90 minutes of charging to operate, so Kiyo tried to keep it from moving by sending it to the Kermadec Trench having no idea it could swim. Angered by the current events, Riou made Faudo's first target Japan, causing the anti-Faudo cultists to go back inside it. At the same time as this, Riou separated everyone so he could fight Kiyo and Zatch by himself, which led to Kiyo's death. But soon after this, Riou was sent back to the mamodo world and Faudo's control went into the hands of an unknown factor, Zeno.
Faudos's pingent of control
Zeno with Faudo Power
Upon taking control of Faudo, Zeno upgraded its defenses and unlocked what the Faudo cultists desired, the Godufa power that gave the Faudo cultists new power. But on the anti-Faudo cultists side, everyone stalled against the Faudo cultists until Kiyo was brought back to life with Faudo's technology. When this was completed, Zatch had gained new strength, 4 new spells, and Kiyo (like Dufort) received an "Answer Talker", an ability that allows the user to understand how any attack is applied and how to defend against it. This awakens whenever a human "dies and then returns to life". The 2 of them then went up to the main control room in order to fight Zeno and Dufort to save all of Japan. During this battle, Zeno revealed why he has a hatred towards Zatch. The reason being so is Zatch was born with the King's Bao, and because of that, Zeno's little brother was put in the care of a mamodo woman.

Although the mamodo woman was mean to him like a lot of other mamodo children, he had a bunch of friends and led a good life. This was incredibly different from Zeno's life, in which he was forced to go through non-stop military training, education, depression, and a rapidly-surfacing evilness. The battle seemed evenly matched, but Zatch was able to win with a powered-up Bao Zakeruga. But although Zeno changed his ways afterwards, the control device shattered, meaning Faudo would continue on with destroying Japan.
With Faudo's course now being unable to stop, Zatch and Kiyo were forced to go out and hold back Faudo and save Japan by themselves. But before this, Zeno gave Zatch the power of his lightning as an additional boost and something to let bygones be bygones. With the combined power of the Bell's lightning and Zatch's heart with Kiyo's, they were able to hold off Faudo until it was sent back to the mamodo world with an ultimate Bao Zakeruga.

Anime[]
In the anime, no mamodo recieved a Godufa upgrade because Zeno took control much later on. Also, Zeno didn't change his ways and purposely destroyed the device. Also, Bao never recieved new power, and it was used to destroy Faudo instead of just holding it off.
Clear Note Arc[]
After Zatch won the battle to decide the Mamodo King, he gave Faudo a normal-sized body so he could go to school with the others.[2]
Organ Guardians[]
There is a guardian of every organ in Faudo's body and hundereds of white blood cells.
- Esophagus: Unko Tin Tin
- Small Intestine: Small Intestine Drill
- Heart: The Heart Warrior
- Bloodstream: Internal Mamodos (including Degosumia)
- Brain: Unko Tin Tin II

Manga only
- Godufa (ゴデュファ Godyufa): Some of Faudo's power can be bestowed upon others by the one who controls Faudo. The individuals transform in appearance and their level of strength is intensified. However, this is done by incorporating Faudo's cells into the person's body; not only does this cause effected individuals to become more subservient to both Faudo and its current master to the point of corroding their personas horribly, but if the cells sense any "bacteria" in their host to oppose Faudo or the one who controls it the cells will attack the host and destroy their body. Manga only.
