Kaku (#048) is a Nature Temtem.
It evolves into Saku after 11 levels.

Description

Physical Appearance

Kaku is a light blue spherical Temtem with a red underbelly. A huge dark red flower grows on top of its head that resembles a rafflesia flower. Each of the flower's four petals has two blue spots at the ends, and they can wrap around Kaku's body for protection. It has four stubby, triangular legs, each with yellow pointed feet. Kaku has large, black beady eyes and a small, cute smile.

Tempedia

Less known than its evolution, Kaku are delightful creatures, cute beyond description. They tend to keep their petals wrapped around the body for protection, although no sane person would ever want to hurt a Kaku.
