“I am Crested Ibis, and I really, really love singing... The happiest thing for me is when I have an audience... But then the other Friends do not seem to like my singing. I heard that there is a place where everyone could come together and sing freely, that would be a paradise for me... My dream is to get everybody together, and sing and have fun.”
—Crested Ibis' Friend Info page, "Self-introduction"
Crested Ibis is a Friend that appears in Kemono Friends Kingdom.
Personality
“Oh, how I wish I could sing to my heart's content!”
—Crested Ibis's Friend Info page
Though gentle and quiet when speaking, Crested Ibis loves to sing her heart out loud and proud for anyone and everyone to hear. She practices her singing diligently, and is always eager to perform for a willing listener. Unfortunately, her song is most strongly characterised by how hard it is on the eardrums; its harsh, blaring tone packs enough of a punch to burst an entire swarm of Celliens. Most Friends lack the heart to be honest about her discordant tune, but all appreciate the protection it provides against the persistent Cellien threat.
Though no one tells her the truth about her singing voice, Crested Ibis is somewhat aware that her song is both a blessing and a curse. She can be self-conscious about the matter, and is pained when she causes agony to her friends, but she nonetheless keeps trying her best to perfect her melody through diligent practice.

Role in the Plot
Treasures Beyond the Horizon
After a misunderstanding occurs in a conversation with Suri Alpaca's about how to generate traffic for her mountaintop cafe, Crested Ibis takes off across Kingdom and spreads a story about a treasure atop the mountain. This spurs a race to the mountain in search of the treasure, sparking the event story. Despite being the initiator of the story, she is absent during its events.
It is only after the conclusion of the treasure hunt, and following a conversation with Fennec Fox and Raccoon, that Crested Ibis realizes her mistake; accompanied by Raccoon, she sets out to apologize to the various Friends she misled, unaware that they really had found something at the mountain's peak.
Relationships
Jinri
Crested Ibis gets along well with Jinri, who is very supportive of her singing.
Suri Alpaca
Crested Ibis is the most regular visitor to Suri Alpaca's cafe, and the two are good friends. If she sees an opportunity to promote the cafe and help her friend's business, Crested Ibis will pounce on the chance- even if her good intentions cause some unintended trouble.

Strategy
“MY NAME IS~ CRESTED IBIS~!!”
—Crested Ibis' Miracle voice line, and the last thing many Celliens hear
- Crested Ibis pairs very well with her COMBO partner, Suri Alpaca, as their COMBO Effect grants buffs to them and their teammates; Crested Ibis can dispel these from her allies using her third Habit, "Could You Help With My Practice?", in turn gaining a SATK boost, or she can use her first Habit- "1, 2, Sing!"- to improve those buffs on herself.
- Pairing Crested Ibis with Suri Alpaca is necessary in order to utilise Crested Ibis's first and fifth Breakthroughs, which permanently increase Crested Ibis's Miracle damage by 2% for each victory shared by the pair; this caps at a +40% increase with Breakthrough 1, and increases to a +65% increase with Breakthrough 5. Taking advantage of these Breathrough benefits is essential in order to unlock the full capabilities of Crested Ibis as a damage dealer, especially at higher levels of game play.
- As a Group Assaulter Friend, Crested Ibis operates best on stages with multitudinous enemies or against Boss Celliens with multiple components.
- This is especially true of the Lord of Sand, some difficulty levels at which Crested Ibis can sometimes be virtually necessary in order to clear out the Sand Bats which would otherwise cause an immediate game-over.
- Crested Ibis is an extremely powerful Friend for the early to mid-game, clearing many Main Story stages with ease regardless of enemy Radiance. However, her overall power can fall off notably at higher difficulties and in areas such as Raids, so she prefers to stick to advantageous match-ups at these levels unless she has adequate support.
Profile
Trivia
- Based on promotional material for Kemono Friends Kingdom, such as the CG-animated trailer found on the game's website, it is possible that Crested Ibis was at one point meant to be a main character in the game's story, and may have accompanied Jinri in her travels alongside Least Weasel and Serval, the latter of whom does not serve this role in the final product either.
- Possibly supporting this is the fact that Chevrotain, who is believed to have been implemented relatively late in the game's development, is absent from this animation.
Sign-In Fact
The crested ibis likes its home. Once a mating pair has chosen a place to roost, they would return to the same place each year.
