Orochi (army)

The Orochi army is an alliance that remains exclusive to the Warriors Orochi series. Any units in this force solely follow Orochi. In the first game, they worked on dominating the other forces. Following Orochi's defeat, the remnants of his army worked to revive their lord. They often serve as the final opponents for each force.

In the Japanese script, all of the subordinate generals in the army are named after supernatural beings, ghosts, or demons from China or Japan. They follow different naming motifs in the English script. Dodomeki clones are named after spiders, the Gyuki clones are named after minerals, and the generic serpent generals are named after snakes.

Story
Long before the games begin, Orochi was a malevolent entity who was sealed away by the Mystics. Being bored with the mystic realm, Da Ji decides to free the seal placed over him at the Wuhang Mountains to entertain herself. Defeating Sun Wukong and San Zang to release the petrifaction placed over him, Orochi is freed. Although newly awakened and not at his full vitality, his strength exceeds her expectations and she swears to serve under him with her demonic allies. Thwarting Taigong Wang, Fu Xi, and Nu Wa quick response to his release, they escape to the mortal realm.

Shortly before his arrival, Orochi warps time and space to create the new world he desires. Dominating over various factions to seek a worthy opponent, he quickly becomes the undisputed ruler of the new world after defeating the Mystics a second time. However, the heroes of the Three Kingdoms and Sengoku Jidai band together to stop him. Their alliance along with the discontent among his army's ranks causes Orochi's death.

Da Ji, intent on planning her lord's resurrection, evades capture, revives Kiyomori Taira, and befriends Himiko. She uses whatever tricks she has to keep the Orochi loyalists together, even sacrificing herself to the coalition forces so that Himiko can be used to power Kiyomori's resurrection ritual. When Orochi is resurrected, he resumes his goal of seeking powerful heroes to fight. This time, he seems more intent to return to eternal slumber as he dreads his second chance at life. He is once again stopped and presumably dies a second time.

Years after, Orochi's essence transformed into a being called the Hydra, seeking to destroy the dimensional world. Kiyomori is resurrected by the Hydra believing it to be Orochi's new form. The serpent forces then began taking over the world killing any human that stood in their path. It lasted until Ma Chao, Sima Zhao, and Hanbei Takenaka remained. But due to Kaguya's intervention, the destruction caused by the triumphant serpent forces is gradually mitigated or undone entirely.
