Battikaroa

バティカろあ

Battikaroa is a giant Hollow composed of sand, resembling Runuganga. He possesses a large, bluish-grey body made of sand, similar to Runuganga. A series of upward-curving spikes surrounds the base of his neck, and he has several protrusions around his head. His arms are long, with forearms significantly thicker than his upper arms. The Hollow hole is located in the center of his chest. Battikaroa bears markings on his abdomen and wears a low-slung cloth around his waist. He also wears plain bracelets on both wrists and upper arms.
He battles Renji Abarai and Yasutora Sado while they fight hordes of Hollows below the fifth tower in Las Noches. At the start of the battle, Renji attempts to attack Battikaroa's midsection. This fails as his sword is nearly swallowed by the Hollow. Sado saves Renji's sword by helping to pull it out. Eventually, Sado tries to use La Muerte on the Hollow, which causes a crack running up to a spot just below the mask, but the Hollow knocks Sado away before the mask cracks. Eventually, they determine that Battikaroa has one weakness: his head. After numerous failed attempts to break the mask, Sado attacks with his La Muerte technique, hitting Battikaroa's bottom. While preoccupied with Sado, Renji fires a Hikotsu Taihou blast at the Hollow's mask, defeating him.
