Krizalid (クリザリッド) is a character in The King of Fighters series. He debut in The King of Fighters '99, who acted as the mid and final boss, as well as the "original" K'.
Development
He was designed to be a stylish and earnestly strong boss, though the supervising designer at the time admits, "I think I overdid it a little." A number of Krizalid's unused graphics were made available to the public in the Dreamcast release of the title.[1]
Personality
He is extremely powerful and he knows that, being very cocky and megalomaniacal at times, but he will serve NESTS loyally, no matter what. Yet deep down he has a hard-working, earnest personality. He was incredibly loyal to Whip, with whom he shared a sibling-like bond, despite such memories being falsely implanted into him.
Powers
His powers are derived from Kyo Kusanagi, whose pyrokinesis he has inherited, but has no innate control over it, and has to rely on training and artificial augmentations for this. It is also important to note that he is not a descendant of the Kusanagi clan, and thus, has no control of the family heirloom, nor the authority/ability to seal Orochi if necessary.
- Pyrokinesis - Because of his borrowed bloodline from Kyo Kusanagi, Krizalid can control fire.
- Create Fire - Krizalid can create fire from thin air.
- Fire Body - Krizalid can put his body on fire.
- Explosion - Krizalid can create an explosion around him or his opponent.
- Energy Projectile - Krizalid can fire a projectile of energy that hits his enemy twice.
- Energy Attacks - Krizalid can infuse his attacks with energy.
- Slashing Hands - Krizalid's hands can pierce and cut.
- Cutting Aura - Krizalid can create an aura of cutting energy around his hands.
- Cutting Wind - Krizalid can create an air current that can also cut anyone it touches.
- Multiple Attacks - Krizalid can attack several times at high speed.
Fighting Style
Krizalid is an extremely powerful fighter sporting an inevitable anti-air move, high-gauge projectiles and dash attacks that are somewhat inescapable. He like K', also has the ability to use flames, and some people consider Krizalid as the second clone of Kyo Kusanagi. It is likely due to his battle suit providing him various forms of battle data fed into his body, his moves are all likely an amalgamation of several others, though it gives him an eerie sense of movement via his stiff animations due to his suit doing much of his movements for him.
His latest technique in 2002 UM, the Lightning Disaster, is a move where he is able to convert all his battle data into physical form.

Trivia
- Krizalid's name is likely a play on the word chrysalis.
- Similar to K''s motifs for crows, Krizalid possesses motifs for fallen angels in his second round leitmotif in KOF 99, his End of Heaven/End of Eden DM, and his black feathers.
- Krizalid's motifs of fallen angels may be a reference to the cancelled Psikyo arcade game The Fallen Angels.
