The Chaos Kin (in Japanese: 混沌の遣い, Konton no Tsukai) is a major antagonist in Kid Icarus: Uprising.
During the battle of the Lunar Sanctum, an ancient entity of pure evil and chaos was accidentally released. This entity feeds on the souls of others and can control their bodies, and despite being unaffiliated with any of the armies, it is the leader of its own faction. Its objective is to use Palutena as its host and create endless conflict and chaos in the world.
Biography[]
Past[]
Some years before the events of Kid Icarus: Uprising, the Chaos Kin was imprisoned aboard the Lunar Sanctum, one of Viridi's, the Goddess of Nature, bases and a weapon of mass destruction, watched closely by Arlon, one of her commanders.
Kid Icarus: Uprising[]
During the events of the third game, Pit had single-handedly attacked the Lunar Sanctum in an attempt to rid Viridi of her weapon. Unbeknownst to the angel, the Chaos Kin was contained aboard the station to keep it from wreaking havoc all over. Pit fought through the base and defeated Arlon, destroying the base and unknowingly set the creature free from its prison. The Chaos Kin then waited for the perfect chance to strike.
Three years later, Pit woke up in the form of a ring, the Ring of Chaos, his soul trapped within by Palutena, who was under the influence of the Chaos Kin, having struck her since she and everyone else was tired after the defeat of the Aurum and Pyrrhon. Pit was returned to his body with the help of Magnus and was given the Power of Flight by Viridi, who he thought was Palutena, bringing him to Skyworld. They looked upon his destroyed home, leaving the latter in sadness for being inside the ring for three years, and the former told the angel that Palutena had still been fighting off the Underworld Army but was also humanity's enemy, too. Palutena appeared in the sky above her temple and saw her servant had returned, attempting to kill him by launching giant chunks of Skyworld debris at him, he immediately knew that this was not the same Palutena that he knows, though she claims to have "changed" throughout those three years. Pit tried to enter her temple but was launched back by the strong force-field protecting it from intruders.
After Pit and Viridi located the Lightning Chariot and defeated the Chariot Master in a race, though with honor, the angel broke through the force-field and made his way through his destroyed home, defeating Centurions and Juggernauts to reach a brainwashed Palutena. On the way, Hades reveals that the Chaos Kin is not part of the underworld army. Viridi also admits she could've prevented its escape if she was at the Lunar Sanctum at the time, or if Arlon just told them if he wasn't so reserved. Upon reaching Palutena, Pit tries to reason with her, but she instead engages him in combat, Viridi noticing the Chaos Kin controlling her. Pit must shoot at the Chaos Kin and not Palutena, though if he does shoot her a certain number of times, the player gets a Game Over. After injuring the Chaos Kin enough, it will let go of Palutena but will steal her soul and escape to the Chaos Vortex, its home. The next day, Pit quickly exits Viridi's sanctuary and enters the Chaos Vortex, learning that Dark Pit has already gone ahead earlier. While traversing the Chaos Vortex, Pit encounters many similar enemies he's fought before, the Underworld Army, the Forces of Nature, Palutena's Army, and the Aurum, though these are only copies of the originals created by the Chaos Kin itself. Pit will also encounter copies of the creature which it also created alone, as well as shadowy versions of Pit. Viridi points out that one of the Chaos Kins is the real one and keeps Pit closely behind it, while he attacks it with his weapon to weaken it. After weakening it, the Chaos Kin lands on an alone platform where Pit has to fight seemingly endless waves of monsters created by the creature which is really a battle of endurance to see how long Pit can last without collapsing or getting tired, same with the Chaos Kin, who is spawning the monsters of all factions besides the Space Pirates.
In the ninth wave, Dark Pit finally shows up to help Pit defeat the Chaos Kin and retrieve the soul of Palutena and return it to her petrified body. Once the last wave is finished, the Chaos Kin will crawl out of the platform and immediately tries to escape, but Viridi creates a barrier so it can't escape, allowing the duo to defeat it once and for all. Viridi uses her powers once again to place something in the center of the platform that will defeat the Chaos Kin. After Pit and Dark Pit lure it into the device, it will be obliterated by the device and Palutena's soul will return to her body. Still clinging onto life, the Chaos Kin transforms into a trail of ashes and grabs ahold of Dark Pit in an attempt to take him with it and falls off the side, trying to kill Dark Pit, though Pit jumps off and asks Viridi to grant him the Power of Flight again, but she reminds him that he's already used it and that enabling it would cause his wings to burn up, possibly killing him in the process. Not having a single care about his own wellbeing and risks his own life so Dark Pit could live. Viridi enables the Power of Flight again and his wings immediately start burning up, and as soon as Pit grabs his doppelganger, Viridi will retrieve him through her powers, leaving the remains of the Chaos Kin in the Chaos Vortex for eternity.
Other Media[]
Super Smash Bros.[]
Chaos Kin currently has only one appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series, with this being in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, where it appears as a trophy.
Personality[]
The Chaos Kin is an extremely vile and evil creature, caring about nothing but eating the souls of whoever it finds. It has complete control over the Chaos Vortex, the bizarre and chaotic dimension it lives in and where it brings the souls of its victim's to once it desires to devour it. After being imprisoned on the Lunar Sanctum for an unknown amount of years, likely a great length of time, it was driven by its desire for revenge against everyone, creating chaos and disorder all across the world while controlling Palutena. Its anger and lust for destruction likely exceeded that of Hades's own plan to conquer the Heavens and the Earth, wanting nothing but to destroy everything because of it being imprisoned for many years.
Powers and Abilities[]
The Chaos Kin has a great amount of power for such a small creature. It has the power and ability to steal souls from anyone, including gods and goddesses, as demonstrated when it stole Palutena's soul after letting go of her mind. It can also devour the souls of beings, even deities, and can take control of the soulless body and use it as a puppet in its games to defeat its opponents by using the being's own powers. Its level of power does not exceed that of Dyntos's own, but it would seem that it does have some immense capabilities of controlling its domain - the Chaos Vortex. As well, it can create copies of itself and other creatures, such as the creatures of the Underworld Army, the Forces of Nature, and the Aurum, as well as shadowy clones of Pit.

Trivia[]
- It is unconfirmed how the Chaos Kin came to exist or why it acts the way it does.
- It is speculated by many people who have played the game that the Chaos Kin is directly based on a god from Greek Mythology: Chaos, the first of all Greek Gods and one of the most powerful.
- Both Chaos and the Chaos Kin are Cyclopes, likely being the kin of Chaos himself.
- The Chaos Kin is one of the only antagonists in Uprising to not ever speak, though did speak through Palutena.
- It was never actually confirmed whether or not the Chaos Kin is male or female, as it is usually referred to as just "it".
- Sometimes, while playing, a loading that explains what gives away the creatures of the Forces of Nature to be of that faction are their signature "yellow eye" which the Chaos Kin has, possibly meaning it was originally affiliated with the Forces of Nature, though this is never explained.
- Thanatos, in his glow dragon form, slightly resembles the Chaos Kin when it escaped. Interestingly, in the Japanese dub, Palutena thought it was Arlon who escaped from the Lunar Sanctum when it was destroyed. There is a chance this was intentional for players to forget about what escaped in chapter 13 more easily so that they'd be surprised by what is revealed later on.
- The battle against Pseudo-Palutena in the second of Lord Dyntos' three trials is almost exactly when she was possessed by the Chaos Kin. However, after looking up, the player will notice that there is no Chaos Kin floating above her this time, which means they'll have to literally attack her and reveal Pseudo-Palutena's true ugly form.
- The Chaos Kin was mentioned in Palutena's trailer for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
