A playable character from Zenless Zone Zero. He is a wolf boy who is the leader of Victoria Housekeeping Co.
Lycaon is calm, rational and reliable, serving as a versatile attendant and an elegant gentleman. He has a slight obsession with cleanliness, always tidying up his surroundings and takes great care of his fur. His canine insticts sometimes shine through when he is particularly happy, as his ears and tail may wag unconsciously, much to his chagrin. Lycaon was previously a student of the phantom thief Jack along with his friend Hugo Vlad. After Jack's death, the two would form their own phantom thief syndicate named Mockingbird. Sometime later, a misunderstanding concerning Hugo's father's death occured, causing Lycaon to leave Mockingbird and join Mayor Mayflower to become a member of Victoria Housekeeping, with Hugo deeming him a "traitor".
Lycaon has white fur, short white hair with black streaks and red eyes. Being a wolf thiren, he has wolf ears and a fluffy wolf tail with tail belts. He wears a white short-sleeved shirt with two arm belts, a collared grey double-breasted vest, grey pants and black fingerless gloves. He has a muzzle on his face, an eyepatch over his right eye and keeps a pocket watch in his breast pocket. Lycaon also has mechanical legs connected at the knees, which he uses to perform powerful kicks in combat.
Like the other members of Victoria Housekeeping Co. who are based on horror tropes, Lycaon is inspired by werewolves, represented by his name and appearance.
Voiced by Will De Renzy-Martin in English (replacing Nicholas Thurkettle (v1.0-v1.6)), Kobayashi Chikahiro in Japanese and Wang Yuhang in Chinese.
