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 [https://twitter.com/armsfan_eng/status/881741121298223104]; however, Dr. C, 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 [https://twitter.com/armsfan_eng/status/882930490520371201].  Recently, Hedlok has escaped containment and gone on a rampage; though possessing a mind of its own, its objectives are unclear.

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|spiraled irises.]]

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.
