Cordian is a leading member of the Tiki Tak Tribe, who appears in the Factory world of the Donkey Kong Island in the games Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. It hypnotizes and possesses Colonel Pluck, the seventh boss in both games.
History
Cordian appears in the boss level, Feather Fiend of the Factory, hypnotizing Colonel Pluck into making the Stompybot 3000 to squash bananas, which power up the Tiki minions. When Donkey Kong and/or Diddy Kong appear, they are forced to battle Pluck. When he is defeated, Cordian rises up and Donkey Kong sends the tiki flying away. Later, it is seen with the rest of the hypnotic tikis by becoming part of one of Tiki Tong's hands.
Personality
Cordian takes actions extremely seriously. It also has higher means of security than the previous 6 worlds: it hid 3 buttons to buy more time. Being responsible for producing Tiki minions with Stompybot 3000, Cordian is more despotic: it hypnotizes Colonel Pluck after a brief time of inactivity without hesitation and then resumes the action. It hates the primates when they mess up the factory, showing that after stopping the production of Tiki Minions, it does not hesitate to fight.
After being defeated, Cordian is very salty and angry (even more than Xylobone), indicating that its plan to make more Tiki Minions stopped. But unlike Xylobone, it did not want to fight after being defeated.
Physical Appearance
Cordian is an accordion-like being that has a malicious, yet angry smile. It also has a skirt-like structure on under its face. It has long limbs, ending with three fingers, like Krazy Kalimba, Banjo Bottom, and Wacky Pipes. It also has a headdres-like structure that is apart of its accordion-like stature. It has four rhombuses on its bellows. It has peach and purple stripes protruding from top to bottom on its bellows as well. Cordian also has purple and red eyelashes, along with three dialect stripes for its eyes. Its mouth is sharp and has an actual jaw. At the top of its head, the tiki has a multiple colored leaf, starting with red to yellow. It also has multiple marks on its face, a few are yellow, and some are a light red.
