Soro

Soro was Helmeppo's pet wolf and the main reason that Roronoa Zoro was arrested by the Marines at Shells Town. He is classified as a Type C creature, "Big Savage".

Appearance
Soro was a light brown wolf with yellow eyes. He had small pupils, a brown nose, and sharp teeth. He was also seen drooling.

Personality
Soro had a very wild temperament, since he was running loose in the town. In the anime, he was shown to be quite vicious, terrorizing townspeople and causing mayhem.

History
Soro was killed by Zoro after Helmeppo let him run loose in town. Since Soro was scaring the townspeople and was about to attack Rika, Zoro killed him with a slash much to the shock of everyone watching.

Anime and Manga Differences
Soro's role in the anime is expanded. Helmeppo came into the town with Soro and went into a bar owned by a Rika and her mother. Soro started to scare the customers away, so Rika hit Soro with a broom, which merely annoyed the wolf. When Soro attempted to retaliate, Zoro intervened and killed him by throwing a stool at him.

Translation and Dub Issues
Some early fan translations assumed his name to be Inugata, based on a misheard line from Episode 2; in reality, this was a bystander exclaiming "[He really] did it!" (やりやがった). His true name, Soro, was not revealed until databook Blue.

Strangely, the Viz manga refers to him as a "dog", and implies that he is only one of an entire pack owned by Helmeppo.
