Animal path (former)

The Animal path was the second of the bodies in Nagato's Six Paths of Pain. Jiraiya incapacitates this body and sends it to Konoha, where it proves instrumental in discovering the secret behind Pain. The former Animal path was destroyed by the Preta path during Nagato's invasion while fighting Kiba Inuzuka and Tsume Inuzuka.

Prior to Jiraiya's encounter with Pain, one of his subordinates noted that some believe Pain to have been from the Fūma clan. This is because the body was originally that of a man from the Fūma clan, recognized by Jiraiya as a man who had ambushed him, ending up scarred across the forehead in the process.

Appearance
Pain's second body, distinguished by a long ponytail and a large bridge piercing through his upper nose and attaching on each cheek, one on his upper nose, and six rimming around the bottom of his face. After being killed and examined, this body was shown to have multiple piercings on his chest as well.

Abilities
The Animal path is a summoner, capable of conjuring a massive variety of different animal summons for various different purposes, most significantly the other paths of Pain. Each animal summon also shares his Rinnegan eyes and various piercings suggesting that they too are under his control.
