Corey Thunderstring#

CoreyThunderstingBowmastersUNUSED.png Corey: fight He looks cool.
This character was playable in older versions of the game (seen in v1.0.5). His appearance is based off the members of KISS and he uses an axe guitar as his weapon. Possibly removed due to copyright concerns, given that KISS' look is so iconic.

Ninjaboy#

Resembles Tyler "Ninja" Blevins as he appeared in Fortnite and uses the clinger as a weapon. Probably removed due to using Blevins' likeness without permission.
