'''Koal''' (Japanese: チャッカ ''Chakka''; Chakka) is a [[Commanding Officer]] enlisted in the [[Black Hole]] army. He is a new CO in ''[[Advance Wars: Dual Strike]]'', introduced in the [[Neverending War]] mission, and a member of the [[Bolt Guard]].

He is known as ''Koal'' in the American version and ''Zak'' in the European version of the game.

==Role==
Koal is one of the main antagonists in ''Advance Wars: Dual Strike''. He is superior in rank to [[Jugger]], appears to be equal in rank to [[Lash]], but below [[Hawke]], [[Kindle]], and [[Von Bolt]]. His most notable battles are when he and Lash use a [[Black Arc]] to defend the first [[Black Crystal]] in [[Victory or Death!]], his attempt to assassinate Hawke and Lash in [[Muck Amok]], his attempt with Kindle to defend the first [[Black Obelisk]] using the [[Black Onyx]], and his final battle where he and a [[clone]] of [[Kanbei]] reactivate the Twin Crown Volcanoes in [[Ring of Fire]].

==Personality==
Koal is a bit poetic, often describing people and objects in elaborate terms. This even extends to his insults.

==Relationships==
Koal is subservient and loyal to Kindle and sees himself, along with Jugger as one of her vassals. By contrast he finds Lash annoying, seems to distrust Hawke and dislikes the [[Allied Nations]] COs. In particular, he takes great delight in insulting [[Rachel]], bragging that the Bolt Guard's actions will make [[Omega Land]] "as devoid of beauty as (her) face".

==Skills==
Koal is a variation of [[Adder]], having a firepower boost on road terrain.

===In ''Advance Wars: Dual Strike''===
*'''Day-to-Day (D2D)''': Koal's units (including air) gain 10% firepower on road terrain.
