What is "shulk"

is a fictional character and the protagonist from Monolith Soft's 2010 role-playing video game Xenoblade Chronicles, part of their overarching Xeno series of video games. Shulk gained an increase in attention and popularity upon his inclusion in Nintendo's 2014 cross-over fighting games Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. While he is not present in the game's spiritual sequel, Xenoblade Chronicles X, the game's character creation tool does allow for the player to create characters that look similar to Shulk, complete with his voice actor Adam Howden.
