*To explain his eye as I know some people may be curious. As a result of Ushari's bite (the scars are much thinner here as they are from a snake's fangs), Kion's left eye suffered a severe bleeding and infection as a result of the venom; dying the sclera near-black, giving him impaired vision (but not total blindness) in the left eye, on top of the infection, which led to him and his team's journey to the Tree of Life.
