Fiction

2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon

Thunderhoof was mistaken for the Kospego by Arnold, and took advantage of the human by ordering him to built an altar — in reality a space bridge. Arnold roped other humans into helping him, until two more legendary creatures appeared and claimed they had come to punish the Kospego. Arnold and the other minions gave up on the Kospego and decided to worship "Sideswingo" and "Bumbeego" instead.As the Kospego Commands!

Notes

• The Japanese name for the Kospego, "Shikapyon" (シカピョン), is a portmanteau of "shika" (鹿), which means "deer" or "elk", and "pyonpyon" (ぴょんぴょん), a mimetic adverb which means "hopping" or "repeatedly jumping" (as deer and elk are known to do).
