Kun Anun

The Kun Anun are the race to which the playable Alphas belong in Almighty: Kill Your Gods. They have evolved from wolves and possess clawed hands, horns and a tail.

Behind the scenes
The name Kun Anun is derived from the Cwn Annwn from Cymric mythology, which translates to Hounds of Otherworld, and these mythical creatures are the inspiration for the characters of Almighty: Kill Your Gods. Historically represented as Hounds of Hell by Christianity, the developers Runwild Entertainment felt this depiction lent itself well to the mischievous and anarchist tone of the characters.

A more phonetic approach to the name was taken to make it more accessible to an international audience and to evoke other ideas. In Japanese culture the term ‘Kun’ is used for inferiors by their superiors, which the developers felt suited the game's anti-authoritarian theme.

The game in general draws a lot from Cymric mythology and bardic traditions, blended with a more eastern influence. For example, the Kun Anun have evolved from wolves, much like Ghengis Khan is said to have been born of the wolf, so research into Mongol culture influenced some of the early armour designs.
