Etalus is a playable fighter in HexaZure. He hails from the Rivals of Aether series.

Background
Etalus is a legendary warrior of the Harbor Guard. The Harbor Guard is dedicating to protecting their home turf, the Ice Barrens. They defend the residents of the Ice Barrens, known as Hyperboleans, from other elemental factions such as Fire, Air, or Earth.

In recent times, however, the Harbor Guard has struggled with the rise of a new threat known as the Black Ice. This malicious group of shadowy creatures began to massacre the Hyperboleans, and the Harbor Guard was simply too late to protect them. Etalus is one of the few living members of the guard, stalking the Black Ice in hopes of defeating them while the Hyperboleans seek new land to call their home.

Gameplay
Etalus is a fighter that focuses on trapping fighters through terrain advantages. He boasts very powerful attacks on the ground, as well as a decent air game. His speed and recovery are very average. Although he may seem like a generic fighter, Etalus's abilities are greatly complimented through his ability to summon and utilize ice.

Through some of his moves, Etalus can coat platforms with icy terrain. On the ground, this gives Etalus new movement options as he slides across the ice to perform powerful attacks. He can also use the ice to coat himself in defensive armor, or smash it to trap any nearby opponents by freezing them. Through this manipulation of the icy terrain, Etalus can quickly approach foes through stopping their movement, and follow up with heavy damage.
