Hexapodus

is a Hollow who was purified by Ichigo Kurosaki.

Appearance
Hexapodus resembles a large six-legged insect. He has gray green skin with orange joints, as well as orange spots on his back. His mask is plain white with a humanoid face, framed by two tufts of brown hair and a forelock of purple hair that falls over the top of his mask.

Agent of the Shinigami arc
Hexapodus appears in the Yumisawa Children's Park in Karakura Town, where he finds the Plus of a little boy and attacks him. The Plus runs away, but eventually trips and falls. As Hexapodus prepares to devour him, he is confronted by Ichigo Kurosaki, whose Shinigami attire prompts Hexapodus to ask him what he is. Instead of replying, Ichigo cuts off his left foreleg, causing Hexapodus to fall backward while screaming in pain. While Ichigo talks to Rukia Kuchiki about the duties of the Shinigami, Hexapodus attempts to attack him from behind, only for Ichigo to swiftly turn around and stab him through the mask with his Zanpakutō, leading Hexapodus to collapse as he is purified.

Powers and Abilities
Spiritual Power: As a Hollow, Hexapodus has some spiritual power.

Appearances in Other Media
Hexapodus appears in the live action film adaptation of Bleach. In the movie, instead of being quickly defeated by Ichigo Kurosaki, Hexapodus fights and gains the upper hand over Ichigo before being purified by Renji Abarai.
