Hedlok was created by ARMS Laboratories as part of their "Wearable Weapons" project, the purpose of which was to create powerful sparring partners for fighters to hone their skills against. It is the follow-up to a prototype armor of sorts that fit over the body, which can still be seen in the background of the DNA Lab stage;<ref>https://twitter.com/armsfan_eng/status/881741121298223104</ref> however, [[Dr. Coyle]], the overseer of the project, believed that ordinary humans would not be able to effectively control all the ARMS the prototype offered, so Hedlok was constructed instead, with the ability to override the mind of its wearer.<ref>https://twitter.com/armsfan_eng/status/882930490520371201</ref> Hedlok subsequently escaped containment and went on a rampage; though possessing a mind of its own, its objectives are unclear. | Hedlok was created by ARMS Laboratories as part of their "Wearable Weapons" project, the purpose of which was to create powerful sparring partners for fighters to hone their skills against.

Hedlok is a metallic mask with a large mouth lined with yellow teeth, and two ARMS protruding from either side of it. It has no body but clamps onto the heads of other fighters to take control of them. Its glowing red eyes have spiraled irises. The level 8 Hedlok in the 5th Party Crash is gold instead of silver | Hedlok is a metallic mask with a large mouth lined with yellow teeth, and two ARMS protruding from either side of it. It has no body but clamps onto the heads of other fighters to take control of them. Its glowing red eyes have spiraled irises. The level 8 Hedlok in the 5th Party Crash and beyond is gold instead of silver, has green eyes instead of blue ones, and silver teeth instead of gold. | ||
When fighting Hedlok, it will fight with all six of its ARMS (Two sets of three, with each ARM on one side being of the same kind). Because of this, players who attempt to attack it recklessly will wind up having their punch deflected by one of its ARMS and being hit by another, making Hedlok extremely difficult to damage. Rather than unleashing a barrage of attacks with its ARMS, its Rush attack is unique: it fires a large blast from its mouth that barrels forward at high speed before exploding, capable of dealing more than 500 damage if the player is hit by all of it—though, like other Rush attacks, it can be blocked. | When fighting Hedlok, it will fight with all six of its ARMS (Two sets of three, with each ARM on one side being of the same kind).

Hedlok is the namesake of the [[VS Hedlok]] mode, seen in [[Party Match]], being the primary opponent players must fight against in it (up to three Fighters can take part). It can use any combination of fighter and [[ARMS (equipment)|ARMS]]. In order to win, it must be defeated before the timer runs out, even if it has less health than the players fighting it. It is affected by [[items]] just like normal fighters, allowing it to be damaged or healed, and it can use a special. The difficulty of the fight is linked to either difficulty level 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 from Grand Prix, as indicated next to its name. Also, in the 5th Party Crash, A Level 8 Hedlok can be fought. He acts like a regular Hedlok, but his arms are perma-charged, and his rush attack charges very quick. He will also always be attached to Dr. Coyle. | Hedlok is the namesake of the [[VS Hedlok]] mode, seen in [[Party Match]], being the primary opponent players must fight against in it (up to three Fighters can take part).
