Linker, D-Roy

ディ・ロイ・リンカー

D-Roy is an Arrancar (number 16) in Sōsuke Aizen's army and one of Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez' five Fracción.
The remnants of his Hollow mask form a bulky helmet shaped like a hammerhead shark. The right side of his mask is wrapped in bandages that conceal his right eye (these bandages hide an injury inflicted by Grimmjow when D-Roy was still an Adjuchas). When the bandages are removed, a gash is visible on the top of his mask. His right eye resembles a standard Hollow eye: a white circle surrounded by black shadows. He has square, shark-like teeth (his oddly shaped teeth are noted to cause a slight lisp). D-Roy is known for holding his Zanpakutō in his hands for much of his screen time. His original Hollow form was a snake-like creature with a shark head that matched the remnants of his mask.
During his battle with Rukia Kuchiki, he claims that his "true battlefield is in the sky," suggesting he fights better in the air; however, most Arrancar seem to prefer this method of combat. D-Roy appears weaker than his peers (a direct result of Grimmjow eating part of him as an Adjuchas, which halted his development early), to the point that Yylfordt Gr scornfully refers to him as an "Arrancar in name only." He apparently had to beg the rest of the group to allow him to participate in the invasion.
