Wettle King (ウェットルキング Wettoru Kingu) (Wettle Man (ウェットルマン Wettoru Man) in the manga) is a character in the series Keroro Gunso. He is voiced by Daiki Nakamura.
Creation[]
Wettle King is genetically modified from a slug by Kururu under orders from Keroro, who saw that Natsumi Hinata is afraid of slugs.
History[]
Created by Keroro upon learning that Natsumi was afraid of slugs, Wettle King is a common slug evolved by Kululu into a humanoid being who resembles a green Ultraman with tiny eyes and feelers on his head. Though he has 1000 times the strength of a normal slug, he was still quite weak, but his attacks worked against Natsumi because she was so much revolted by his viscosity. Fuyuki, however, was able to defeat him with a finger. Unless he's in an ambiance with very high humidity, he can only fight for 4 minutes and 44 seconds before he has to recharge himself with water. Despite Keroro's intentions, Wettle King's spirit of righteousness forbade him from harming Natsumi, and he flew off into deep space in the end to find someplace where he could be useful, until his powers were needed once again.
In episode 215, Wettle King returns with the additional ability to disguise himself as Tohru Uetsu, a motorcycle-riding, smooth-talking (and incredibly clumsy) photojournalist, along with playing a trumpet during his entrance scene, he is reminiscent of Hayato Icimonji, the second Kamen Rider and his costume was a parody to Ichiro of Kikaider 01.

Mechaniwettle King (メカニウェットルキング Mekaniuettoru Kinggu)
History[]
.The members of the Keroro Platoon (save Giroro and Dororo) created Mechaniwettle King to enact their revenge on Natsumi Hinata for bossing them around. After they materialized a stage set, Natsumi and Fuyuki discovered themselves in a city model and a small plane transformed into Wettle King, destroying several building props. Natsumi and Fuyuki were shocked to discover "Wettle King"'s change, believing that he had become evil once again until a small spark burned his leg, with Keroro revealing his true form: Mechaniwettle King. Keroro took control of the robot and fought Natsumi. Still thinking of him as a product of slugs, she wasn't able to fight back until the robot launched his rocket fists, allowing Natsumi to finally realize that he wasn't a slug and she easily threw him away from the house with Keroro still inside.
In the same episode, Kururu creates another version of the robot, this time using a humanoid slug as its true form and the suit as armor, making its attacks sniffy this time and therefore terrifying Natsumi.
After they materialized a stage set, Natsumi and Fuyuki discovered themselves in a moon/asteroid-like planet with a minicar approach and Keroro shouts "Wettle Fight, Two Dash!", transforming him into Mechaniwettle King 2. The robot's slimy structure was enough to scare Natsumi until Giroro provide her with a helmet that armed her with a powered exosuit with cannons on her waist. In the heat of the battle, when Natsumi accidentally damaged several parts of the stage, Mechaniwettle King suddenly stopped and witnessing a flower in a vase (which was his home during his time as a normal slug) dropped, causing him to engulfed in a bright light and reveal his true form: a human-sized slug. Out of his anger at the loss of his home, he grew into the size of the living room, capturing the Keroro Platoons and Natsumi until Fuyuki and Angol Mois summon the real Wettle King. Wettle finally repaired his house and shrink the giant slug to its original size.

The seven Wattle Kings[]
History[]
In episode 215, Keroro creates a new batch of seven Wattle Kings, easily differentiated from the original by their differently-colored gloves and boots, along with matching scarves, a deliberate parody of the Shocker Riders from Kamen Rider. Sent to attack Natsumi, the clones wind up facing off with the original Wettle King, who awakens their righteous spirits and turns them into his allies. Together, the eight Wettle Kings are a deliberate send-up of the recent Ultraman movie, '8 Ultra Brothers'.
Nyorottle King[]
The Nyorottle King (ニョロットルキング Nyorottoru Kingu) is a strange Nyororo and Wettle King hybrid created by Nyororo trying to suck the moisture out of a Wettle king. Nyorottle Kings crave moisture even more than regular Nyororos and will do whatever is necessary to get some. However, a Nyorottle King can be changed back into a normal Wettle King and Nyororo by regressing the Nyorottle King back to before they fused. Nyorottle Kings have a large metallic head (reminiscent of a Keronian) with hair the same color as the Nyororos, long, skinny arms, and drooping chests.
Nyorottle kings can multiply if they come into contact with water andthey also have the ability to absorb moisture from Keronians through their tails and have a fairly resistant head.
Numezo-Kun[]
Numezo-Kun (ヌメ造) It's another version of Wattle King made by Keroro in episode 353.
History[]
It was created by Keroro through the idea from episode 320 to create attractive pekoponian versions of themselves and fuse them with the Wettle Kings.
While Giroro was asleep due to an invention of Kururu, Keroro used Numezo to torture Natsumi, with her not knowing if she likes it or is disgusted and terrified, he tries to give all his viscosity to Natsumi until he accidentally hits Giroro ending the episode
Unlike a normal Wettle King, its entire body is absolutely sticky and shiny. It seems to always have a smile on its face. Its main method of attack is to expel slime through its armpits.
