“ NO CURSE SHALL TAINT THIS LAND... „
The Sugar Swan (Korean: 설탕백조, seoltangbaegjo) is an NPC who appears in World Exploration's Tainted Forest, releasing at the game's launch. This character appears as a Boss as the corrupted Remorseful Sugar Swan in Ancient Altar.
While she is not currently playable in Kingdom, she is fully playable in a Cookie form in Cookie Run: OvenBreak.
Game Description (OvenBreak)[]
In the beginning, when the sweet energies danced and mixed chaotically, a single swan, wrapped in a noble and radiant light, emerged atop a delicate thread of sugar. With just one powerful stroke of its colossal wings, she breathed life into the turbulent land, transforming it into a warm embrace. Enclosed within its luminous wings, the world gave birth to sweet, sparkling sugar mountains and cream seas. But when the leaves begin to fall one by one, and the world turns cold, the swan embarks on a journey, carried by the fierce winds, to restore balance to all things. Finally, on the day of her return from the long journey, all the birds of Dessert Paradise soar high into the sky, celebrating the arrival of the swan with a grand festival! Wherever her sacred feathers touch, an infinite cycle of life will bloom and flourish once more.
Summary[]
The Sugar Swan is a powerful entity who oversees the Dessert Paradise, one who legend says is responsible for Wind Archer Cookie's very existence. While it is not responsible for creating all of the world's Cookies—as seen from Wizard Cookie's mistaken assumption of such—it is responsible for the creation of the entire world itself, as stated in its OvenBreak description.
The character is shortly seen in the Tainted Forest in a corrupted, Remorseful state due to Pomegranate Cookie's magic, but is purified by GingerBrave and the gang.
Trivia[]
- The Sugar Swan speaks exclusively in all-capital letters. Oddly enough, this speech quirk did not carry over to the Sugar Swan's playable appearance in Cookie Run: OvenBreak.
- The files of Cookie Run: Kingdom hold unused data for an overworld rig of the Sugar Swan. The most that this data appeared in-game was in early versions, in which its forward-facing and backward-facing versions erroneously overlapped each other in Story segments[2]; consequently, any uses of this overworld animation rig were replaced with the Sugar Swan's proper Story sprite.
- The Sugar Swan is considered a Celestial, akin to a higher god in the Cookie Run universe. The defining characteristic of Celestials appears to be that their original forms are not that of a Cookie.
- The Treasure Sugar Swan's Shining Feather is based on the Sugar Swan. It ties into how the Sugar Swan has the power to give life, as the Treasure also revives a single defeated Cookie in battle.
- According to White Coral Cookie, the Sugar Swan is made out of honey. It is unclear if this is true or not.
