Pentagon was a character from the scrapped game "Puyo Puyo Wiki Camp 2". Despite the game's early cancellation, Pentagon is one of very few characters whose data and graphics were leaked.
Biography
Appearance
Pentagon is a short, teal pentagonal prism with a large shine going from his bottom-right to top-left. He wears an off-white T-shirt with a target-styled star coming from the bottom-right corner matching Pentagon's color. Above that, Pentagon wears a darker teal short-sleeved hoodie, with a star-shaped badge emblazoned on his left, again matching his main body color.
Personality
Pentagon is quick to act but very slow on considering the ramifications. He's always trying to impress someone, but is incredibly vulnerable to accusations of him being "uncool". After some convincing though, Pentagon will know to be gentle, though he always expresses his kindness through gratuitous acts.
Abilities
Pentagon's main affinity is with ice, though he can also create large gusts of wind, and, when particularly charged up, can fire off balls of lightning with little delay. Additionally, when Pentagon's at his strongest, he can unleash powers beyond his usual disciplines to specifically target a foe's weakness, but this has only been shown off when Pentagon gets a burst of vigor after being knocked down.
Relationships
Team 17
After first becoming a member of The Wiki Camp 2, Pentagon quickly maneuvered his way into Team 17. While he has little interest in hot chocolate or marshmallows, his teammates were welcoming and thought often of Pentagon, and so in turn Pentagon thought oft of them.
Wrecking Ball
Pentagon and Wrecking Ball quickly became rivals in what little was shown of the story. What Pentagon packed in agility, Wrecking Ball matched with raw power and defense. Unfortunately, this often led to Pentagon quickly getting tired, just for Wrecking Ball to throw him halfway across The Wiki Camp 2. Unfortunately, not much is known of Wrecking Ball, outside of their grey body and golden chains.
History
Puyo Puyo Wiki Camp 2
Challenge 1
In Challenge 1 of Puyo Puyo Wiki Camp 2, the main characters were tasked with giving a presentation of themselves. After defeating Wrecking Ball in a Wiki Camp Battle, Pentagon demonstrates the power of Wikis, starting off the story. Ultimately, Pentagon is given joint 39th with an unmentioned student, and proceeds into the next challenge.
Challenge 2
In Challenge 2, Pentagon is tasked with joining a class "team". Despite his Wiki Camp prowess, Pentagon isn't accepted anywhere for his plain-ness- except, Strawberry, from Team 17, agrees to allow Pentagon to join- if he can beat him in a Puyo Puyo battle. Despite never having played before, Pentagon is able to beat him and becomes a member of the team. However, Pentagon soon gets distracted by the idea of Puyos, leaving his team to finish- and ultimately be on the chopping block for- the team.
Challenge 3
After the team executes a strategy of sending exactly enough garbage text to each other to avoid any of them being eliminated, Pentagon and the rest of Team 17 is whisked into Challenge 3- an Edit War. This Challenge would've introduced the "Swap" game mode, but the developers could not find a smooth way to swap between Puyo Puyo and Wiki Camp, so the idea for the two franchises to merge was dropped here. However, the idea would later be recycled for the award-winning Puyo Puyo Tetris.
As a playable character, Pentagon's dropset was similar to Suketoudara's, with the strange discrepancy that the fifth and sixth drops were swapped.

Trivia
- Pentagon was the character that went through the most revisions during the development of Puyo Puyo Wiki Camp 2, totalling 10 previous revisions before the final design.
- Apparently, the developers liked these designs so much that they were retconned into being AUs of the current Pentagon:
- The oldest 2 designs were designated as P-003.
- The third oldest design was designated as P-005.
- The middling designs were designated as P-014, but most of their concept art was lost.
- The second and third newest designs were designated as P-015.
- The newest design has been designated as P-020.
- The gap between these numbers suggests that there are either missing Pentagon revisions, or there are more plans for Pentagon. It is unknown at this time.
- Pentagon's scarf and eventual clothing were apparently created to "humanize" Pentagon, according to the lead art director. However, nobody has backed up his claims.
- Apparently, the developers liked these designs so much that they were retconned into being AUs of the current Pentagon:
- Pentagon's dropset was apparently edited to relate to a "Five" motif planned to be given to Pentagon. Despite this being against all of conventional game design, the developers have stated that they would return his exact dropset if he would ever make his debut into the franchise proper.
- Due to the speed of fever mode, Pentagon's 4th Chain is often cut off, leading to him hilariously saying "準備? 私はそうは" or "Are you ready? I don't"
