Animal Path


 * Name:
 * Type: Kekkei Genkai
 * User: Nagato
 * Debut (Manga): Chapter 407

The was the last of Nagato's Six Paths of Pain to be shown, and replaced the previous Animal path. It was incapacitated during the invasion of Pain by Naruto's Sage Technique: Rasenrengan.

Appearance
When it was alive, the Animal path belonged to a young girl, making it Pain's only female body. The Animal path, like all of the Six Paths, possessed Nagato's Rinnegan eyes. It had orange hair tied together in a sort of onion-like bun at the top of the head, with spikes of hair protruding out of it. It had one stud above the nose, studs on either side of the neck, a row of studs vertically down each cheek, a stud below each stud on the neck and two studs on each forearm.

Abilities
The Animal path's main abilities revolved around summoning various animals and creatures to aid it in battle. Each creature served a different purpose in battle, much like every path of Pain was also different from the others. Each animal summon also shared Nagato's Rinnegan eyes and had various body piercings as well, suggesting that they too were under his control.
