===== ABOUT THE OROCHI CLAN =====

After Leopold Goenitz, these three are the remaining members of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi and are responsible for awakening and releasing the deity. They are basically the counter-equivalent to Kyo, Benimaru and Goro. O.Chris uses flames like Kyo; O.Shermie uses lightening like Benimaru; and O.Yashiro uses strength (Earth) like Goro. They are an integral part of the KOF storyline.

===== GAME TRIVIA =====

---- The Orochi versions of Chris, Shermie and Yashiro do not appear as CPU opponents in the game.

---- On the character select screen, as pressing Start accesses their Orochi forms, it means that the random select function cannot be started on their regular counterparts.

---- On the winning screen, their portraits are different to their regular counterparts.

---- On the fight screen, their lifebar icons are different to their regular counterparts.

---- Their music theme is a combination of O.Yashiro and O.Shermie's individual themes from KOF97 and also O.Chris' theme from KOF98.

---- They have special pre-fight intros when against each other.

---- Regarding sprite/animation aesthetics, Orochi Chris is given significant new standing neutral animations.

---- Regarding sprite/animation aesthetics, Shermie is made slightly more thicc.
