Muta Aburame

was a member of the Aburame clan.

Appearance
Muta had long brown hair and like all other Aburame, his eyes were obscured by dark sunglasses. His attire consisted of a long sleeved light tan jacket with a high, upturned collar. The remainder of his form was largely obstructed by the low hemlines and overlaying clothes. He also had a pouch fastened to the back of his outfit which he used to carry around a jar in which he carried additional Kikaichū bugs.

Abilities
As an Aburame, Muta had a special breed of insects called Kikaichū which inhabited his body and fed off his chakra. In battles, he used them to attack opponents in a wide area, cornering them and draining their chakra. He also demonstrated the ability to command nearby worms to gather information. He could also use his kikaichū to emit a jamming signal that confused nearby sensors.
