Nirgge Parduoc

is the 27th Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army and one of Baraggan Louisenbairn's six Fracción.

Appearance
He has quite a large body, and he easily has the largest body in weight among Baraggan's Fracción (whereas Choe Neng Poww has the largest body in terms of actual size). His Hollow mask consists of a thick helmet with short tusks protruding from the sides. He has wavy, short blond hair and four short squiggly lines descending from each of his dark red eyes. He also has a jagged, chipped tooth protruding from the lower left side of his mouth.

Personality
Nirgge is boastful, short-sighted, and demeaning. During his fight with Marechiyo Ōmaeda, he insults Ōmaeda's weight despite being of similar girth himself. Like his fellow Fracción, he holds his master, Baraggan, in high regard and refers to him as "his majesty". He is also somewhat lecherous, telling Ōmaeda he preferred fighting Rangiku Matsumoto instead of him. Despite this, he is somewhat patient. He is quite bored in the fight with Ōmaeda, and waits until he has tired himself out by trying to cut through his Hierro before doing anything.

Fake Karakura Town arc
He first appears along with Baraggan and the rest of his Fracción in the fake Karakura Town to do battle with the Gotei 13. However, once Aizen, Ichimaru, and Tōsen are trapped in Yamamoto's Shikai, Baraggan himself decides to give all orders.

After discovering the four pillars that are keeping the real Karakura Town in Soul Society, Baraggan sends four members of his Fracción to a different pillar to destroy them, stating that if they are going to guard them using ants, he will just have to send dragons to crush them. In the ensuing battles, one by one, the four Fracción are defeated and killed, much to his,Ggio Vega's and Baraggan's surprise.

Baraggan, furious, prepares to take action himself, but is persuaded by Ggio, who pleads with their master to let them take care of the Shinigami. Baraggan agrees, and so Nirgge engages Marechiyo Ōmaeda in battle, relying more on his large size and power to win. Feigning slowness during the fight, Ōmaeda lulls the Fracción into a false sense of security, then catches him by surprise with his expertise in Flash Step and bashes his head in. Though still able to seize hold of Ōmaeda after Ōmaeda lets his guard down to taunt him, Nirgge is finished off unintentionally by Suì-Fēng when she is thrown away by one of Ggio's attacks.

Powers & Abilities
Enhanced Strength: He has great physical strength, as he was able to overwhelm Ōmaeda with little effort and when he was pushing with his seemingly full force, Nirgge only pushed a little more and sent him flying for a relatively far distance.

Cero: He is shown to have a light blue-green Cero and charges it with his left hand. This was only seen in the anime.

Hierro: Nirgge possesses a strong Hierro that allows him to easily block the attacks of Ōmaeda's Zanpakutō. His Hierro is so effective that multiple strikes from the blade, without him even attempting to counter, deflected off him with ease and no visible signs of damage.

Zanpakutō

 * an average katana with a silver oval-like guard with a light-green handle.


 * Resurrección: It is released by the command . When calling out the release command, Nirgge transforms into a form resembling a humanoid woolly mammoth. In this form, his body is covered in green fur, with the tusks of his hollow mask enlarging to become somewhat reminiscent of an actual mammoth's tusks. He gains a large grey trunk from the center forehead of what's left of the cap that is his hollow mask.


 * Enhanced Strength: In his released form, his physical strength is greatly increased, causing him to be able to jump to great heights, and allowing him to attack at a distance due to his new trunk but his speed is lowered significantly.


 * Extendable Trunk: Nirgge is capable of stretching his trunk to almost 10 times its original length. That way he can bind his enemies and toss them around his surroundings, dealing a large amount of damage, but this was only seen in the anime.

Trivia

 * In the anime adaptation of Nirgge's fight with Ōmaeda, Nirgge survives the blow that killed him in the manga. He then continues his battle against Ōmaeda, and is finally defeated when Ōmaeda smashes him in the head with his Zanpakutō's shikai.
