Zuka is an NPC in PHIGHTING!. He is found within Crossroads and the PHIGHT! Lobby, where he serves to transport the player between locations and allows them to access the server list.
Zuka is missing his right arm and part of his larger horn on the left side of his head is broken off. The reason behind this is not stated anywhere.
He is a former soldier of Blackrock during the war. Accordingly, he was a famous one and it can be stated that "everyone in Blackrock knew his name"[1]. He has since retired and runs Da Shop.
He's the adoptive father of Rocket and adopted him after he had blown his limbs up. He disapproves of Rocket having fun with pyrokinetics nor his participation in Phights according to Rocket's dialogue with other Phighters.
He has ties to Venomshank and has worked with the deities. Zuka has been stated to be favoured by some of the deities. Firebrand and Darkheart explicitly so. Darkheart would still be chummy with Zuka even if they don't work together anymore.[2]
