Once a champion of civilization and symbol of societal endurance, Burning Spice Cookie, now jaded towards history's ceaseless cyclicality, prevails over the war-torn Land of Spice with abandon. He craves reducing nations to ashes purely for the thrill of it, all the while disregarding his own safety and that of his militant followers. No longer is Burning Spice Cookie revered as the Herald of Change but feared as the ultimate bringer of Destruction—the granter of ends.
Burning Spice Cookie wields the power of Destruction, a corrupted side of the Virtue of Change[1] he once held. He was the original owner of Golden Cheese Cookie'sSoul Jam, being stripped of it upon his descent into villainy.
While the losers are doomed to be swallowed whole by the Tide of Change, victors bend it to their will! Once known as the Herald of Change, Burning Spice Cookie shaped the course of history, when history itself was young. He was hailed as a hero, a leader who fought battle after battle to protect the faint light of civilization shining amidst the gloom. But as time marched on and kingdoms rose and fell in an endless cycle, he grew weary—bored by the monotony of it all. In his heart, the seeds of destruction began to take root. His name, once celebrated, was replaced by whispers of the Great Destroyer. But empty praises and worship from Cookies meant nothing to him, as only destruction could make his jam boil! During his long confinement, he cursed the chains that bound him, aching to unleash chaos. But now, Burning Spice Cookie is free, unchained, and ready to carve a path of havoc. The world will tremble as the Great Destroyer rises once more... and nothing will be spared.

Skill[]
Tyrant's Wrath
9 sec
In exchange of his own lifeforce, Burning Spice Cookie releases his inner God of Destruction, dispelling debuffs and gaining the Berserker buff. While transformed, he will become immune to all debuffs except for Curse and will absorb the ATK of the three allies (targets Cookies first) with the highest ATK. Burning Spice Cookie will gain the Spice Rampage buff depending on the target of his basic attacks and will gain the Enrage buff after reaching a certain threshold. After, he will slam down the ground with his great axe, dealing damage with the final blow. The axe will create a pool of lava for a certain period of time and deal periodic damage. Enemies' ATK SPD and ATK are reduced in the lava, while the Sarcophagus of Gold and summons receive a great amount of damage.
The Great Destroyer, Burning Spice Cookie, activates Firestorm periodically, inflicting Burn to all targets (excluding Safeguarded Cookies) and providing CRIT% and CRIT DMG buffs for his allies. Additionally, he applies The Destroyer's Gaze debuff on the enemy Cookie with the highest ATK.
Upon entering the battle, Burning Spice Cookie applies the Revelry of Flames buff on Fire-type allies, which increases their ATK and DMG Resist by the number of Burn stacks.

Burning Spice Cookie is a vision of raw strength: he is a very tall, hulkingly muscular Cookie with a massive upper body and reasonably thick legs, giving him a top-heavy build. His dough is a rose-terracotta tone peppered with umber tattoos like tiger stripes. His hungry eyes, poised under a furrowed brow and lined in black, curling lashes, burn with fire in jasmine slit pupils and cooler red sclerae. Below lies a wicked grin of sharp teeth set in tarnished gold. Sinuous brands border his eyes symmetrically in pointed fronds as another sits at his forehead, acting as the base to his two grand antennae.[2] They erupt in stinging tongues of flame and likely represent his twisted divinity and power, as they come from his Ajna chakra (Sanskrit: आज्ञा), where Shiva (Sanskrit: शिव) has his third eye.
Burning Spice Cookie's hair is exceedingly long and drags on the ground beneath him. Its matted mass is an all-encompassing void of black compared to his otherwise fiery tones and sprawls away in wild strands.
The Great Destroyer wears little clothing and armor, conveying his confidence with such a lack of protection. His chest is bare save for his fire red, triangular Soul Jam, being emblematic of his status as a Beast and signaling to all his strength. It is flanked by fiendish, heath markings similar to those on his face. The one true garment on Burning Spice Cookie is a pītāmbari (Sanskrit: पीताम्बर) dhoti (Hindi: धोती), a silken, saffron yellow cloth attributed to Vishnu (Sanskrit: विष्णु)/Krishna (Sanskrit: कृष्ण) in Shaivism (Sanskrit: शैवसम्प्रदाय); it wraps his legs and is accompanied by a separate, ruby red waistband-loincloth hemmed with orange and secured with a golden buckle. Any extra adornment on his body is scant—a single bracelet coils around his left wrist and two slight plates of armor with a single spike each sit on his shoulders, all three elements being rendered in pale gold.
Burning Spice Cookie's parashu changing at his will
His weapon of choice is a menacing parashu (Sanskrit: paraśu) that stands even taller than its wielder. Its double blades curve like searing flames—one larger than the other—and stem from a red-hot starburst insignia. These blades can be shattered and restored at the Destroyer's will, seeming to be made from pure energy (or at least representing Burning Spice Cookie's power over Change). The axe's base is a long shaft with numerous sharp bevels, while the entire weapon glows with hellish heat and takes the colors of warm igneous rock and flowing magma.
Personality[]
Long ago, when the lands were new and bountiful, Burning Spice was the Herald of Change. Once did he bring about the growth of kingdoms and nations, shaping the course of their antiquity. Once he was a founder and ruler of kingdoms long forgotten yore. Once was he was the defender of civilization, created to protect the world that had begun to grow with his guidance. For his achievements and accomplishments, he was hailed as a hero, and cultures had sprung up around his identity. He was praised, cherished, celebrated, and beloved; he was elated that he was recognized for doing his duty. Alas, such creations were not meant to last, and so they've become history. Those who had idolized him and those who he had loved had long since departed. But not for the Herald, for he was eternal and would see this cycle for many eons. The cycle continued on while he became stagnant, his work now repetitive. Thus, he grew tired and soon had enough of the cycle's everlasting repetition. With age and death being no hindrance, he had all the time in the world to do everything he could possibly do to satisfy his aching heart and mind.
Yet, all the roads he had taken led him to one conclusion; Destruction. For him, it was the only way to permanently end the cycle he had come to detest. And so, the Herald of Change transformed into the Great Destroyer, his virtue now corrupted. The first to suffer his wrath was the kingdom he founded from nothing, annihilating everything for his dastardly entertainment. Yet, pieces of the Herald remained, albeit now distorted. His knowledge was now used for havoc, using it to destroy kingdoms and to foster the chaotic culture of the Wild Spices, where violence is commonplace and rules over all. His vocabulary and mannerisms, proper then and now, would strike fear into whoever was unfortunate enough to hear. Many saw this as a betrayal of his original purpose, but he saw it as a renewed endeavor. To destroy everything so nothing can rise from the ashes.
As the Beast of Destruction, Burning Spice Cookie's behavior exemplifies such, with his first act upon regaining a physical form being sending an army after the current owner of his lost half of his Soul Jam. Most of his actions are to starve off his boredom and satisfy his deep lust for carnage. To the Great Destroyer, both past and posterity have lost their meaning, if they ever had one to begin with; the only worth left lies in the power to extinguish the world's lemmings that clings to inconsequential lives. Something else he finds entertaining is a good battle; he waited eons for an exciting fight with the one holding his other half and didn't care that he regained his Soul Jam until he had a more challenging, novel conflict with her. In truth, he craves what he views as true change; utter domination over an enemy does not thrill him, for he has experienced such a scenario countless times. However, being truly challenged or even defeated seemed to relieve his emptiness as it was genuine change to the status quo of him being undefeatable.
In his realm, Burning Spice Cookie rules over the Wild Spices with an iron fist, striking fear into its inhabitants, especially the Kulfi. His generals and soldiers, in return, pledge unwavering loyalty to him, knowing that opposition or failure of their duties can lead to their demise at his hands. Burning Spice Cookie does not show any sympathy to those who suffer because of him, seeing them or their suffering as meaningless, nor does he care for the well-being of Cookies under his command, and is exemplified to have no reserves of mercy for those in his path of destruction. He destroys ally and enemy alike without hesitation, seeking to eliminate all and put an end to the cycle of existence. This intense desire for thrill and brutality rages to the point that Burning Spice Cookie does not even care whether he wins a battle or not, laughing maniacally when faced with imminent death at Golden Cheese Cookie's hands, something he could also desire as it means the end of the cycle of never-ending change.

This section references aspects of real-life culture(s). The Cookie Run: Kingdom Wiki does not claim expertise in these topics, but strives for accuracy and respect; corrections and additions by those well-learned in these cultures are encouraged.
Burning Spice Cookie is largely based on Shiva (Sanskrit: शिव), a principal Hindu deity who is one third of its Trimurti (Sanskrit: त्रिमूर्ति) and the focus of its Shaivism (Sanskrit: शैवसम्प्रदाय) subculture. Burning Spice Cookie likely is derived from more fierce, wrathful interpretations of Shiva.
The base Trimurti personifies the concepts of creation, preservation, and destruction through its three deities Brahma (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मा), Vishnu (Sanskrit: विष्णु), and Shiva. These deities perform their attributed task not necessarily out of explicit benevolence or malice, but to uphold the laws of the universe and reality. Though "destruction" may have a negative connotation to many, Hindu Brahman (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मन्) slates it as a neutral truth, as creation cannot exist without destruction. Shiva's titles of the "god of destruction" or even "the Destroyer"—simply one who destroys—relate directly to Burning Spice Cookie's power over Destruction and own title of "the Destroyer," though Burning Spice Cookie's brand of violent, indulgent carnage turns Shiva's neutral dissolving of aspects of the universe (and sometimes equivalent creation) on its head. Fire in itself is often a symbol of destruction, and thus some iterations of Shiva have noteworthy power over fire much like Burning Spice Cookie; an example of this is the Nataraja (Sanskrit: नटराज), an archetypal icon of Shiva which depicts him as a cosmic dancer holding fire in his hand, representing his control over destruction.[3] The Nataraja also features Shiva backed by a ring of flames, which closely resembles the fire wheel present in Burning Spice Cookie's 2 through 6-star forms.
Animals are often closely related to Shiva. Some of his iconography includes his bull mount Nandi (Sanskrit: नन्दि), the cobra Vāsuki (Sanskrit: वासुकि) about his neck, the tiger pelt around his waist, and deer in general.[4][5] Similarly, a key foundation of Shaivism (in which Shiva is worshiped as the one Supreme Being) refers to the individual soul as pashu (Sanskrit: पशु), translating as animal or beast, and that the "flock" or "herd" of the world's people are "shepherded," or guided, by Shiva as Pashupati (Sanskrit: पशुपति), the lord of animals.[6] All of this matches with Burning Spice Cookie's subjects being animal-Cookie hybrids like Nutmeg Tiger Cookie or outright animals altogether—Burning Spice Cookie is akin to a lord and herdsman of all animals, those animals being the citizens of his lands. Other clear iconographic connections between Burning Spice Cookie and Shiva are their held parashu (Sanskrit: paraśu) weapons, their long, matted hair, and their occasional extra pairs of arms.
Trivia[]
Burning Spice Cookie is the first, and currently only, Cookie that can inflict a debuff ( Burn & ATK Down) on his own allies.
Burning Spice Cookie's loading screen trivia states, "The Wild Spices worship the Great Destroyer out of fear. But what if... they desire something more...?"
While Burning Spice Cookie's original Virtue was localized as "Change," the original Korean text uses the term "역사" (yeogsa), which more directly translates as "History."
Burning Spice Cookie's angry sprite with notes included
The initial version of Burning Spice Cookie's angry story sprite included in the official Cookie Run: Kingdom fankit contained leftover revision notes. The notes, overlaid near Burning Spice Cookie's legs, read, "용쿠랑 발 높이 맞춰주세요," which translates into English as "Level the height of Yongku's feet." Notably, "Yongku" is a common nickname for GingerBrave in Korean-speaking circles.
