Baital (バイタル, Baitaru) was a Chimera Ant Squadron Leader killed by the Extermination Team.

Appearance

Baital's anime appearance

Baital was a purple-skinned humanoid wearing a dark green sweater, and a pair of dark blue pants. He had a tail with a plume of hair at the tip.

Personality

Not much is known about Baital's personality. He was said to have gotten especially cocky since learning Nen. He was overwhelmingly anxious about the mysterious smoke that covered the forest, of which was created by Morel who casted the smoke near and around the Chimera Ant Nest. Baital demonstrated strong leadership at that critical time.

Plot

Chimera Ant arc

Baital in the forest

Bewildered by the smoke-like veil covering the forest, Baital tries contact Goran's unit, but to no avail and suspects he's been taken out. The overlapping messages from the Peons make him think a contact network should have been established. So, Baital orders his squadron to rendezvous with Goran's and has Zem's and Pokoro's squadron units follow his own unit in crane formation. As the squadron units move out Baital notices that more and more of Goran's Peons are vanishing and becomes increasingly anxious and perturbed.

Baital and Gaftz are briefly mentioned by Peggy when he reports to Colt that the two have yet to report back.

Abilities & Powers

Being a Squadron Leader, Baital is physically stronger than any average human or, presumably, Chimera Ant soldier. According to his hierarchical position, he has authority over 4-5 Officers and several dozen Peon soldiers; and, for a moment, he proved to be able to command multiple squads (unusual for his peers) with confused Ants in order to assemble a crane formation via telepathic communication.

Enhanced Durability: His body is considerably durable, since a punch from a Nen-using Rammot did not leave him with any permanent or visible injury.

Nen

After being violently "initiated", Baital learned Nen or at least became able to perceive aura (like Morel's transmuted smog).
