Angiru, also know as Aneg in Urban Toys, is the 8th Gogo in Series 1, and 35th in Superstar. He also reappears in Mega Metropolis and in the Gogo's Crazy Bones Trading Card Game. In the Evolution series, Angiru becomes Angor.
Appearance
Angiru has two grey buttons for eyes (though Urban Toys claims that they are "bionic eyes" that implicate he is a robot), as well as a wide smile. He also has a yellow 'a' symbol for his stomach. For his "Most Wanted" appearance, he seems to have a circular design around him, consisting of red, yellow and green colours. He also appears to have white eyes rather than grey.
Personality
Mega Metropolis
In the Mega Metropolis comics, Angiru is shown to be quite secretive (as seen in Issue 2 where he refuses to tell Jelly about Neko's favourite game). It is also implied that he believes in the supernatural as shown in Issue 1. He is shown to be friends with Umu and Mosh, with the latter introducing the Mega Gogo's to the other Gogo's alongside him. In many different issues, Angiru would sometimes appear in his Most Wanted form with no exclaimation given.

Trivia
- On his sticker, Angiru's "a" symbol has a slightly different design.
- On some Series 1 packets from early releases, there was a white variation of Angiru. This can imply that he was going to be available in another colour scheme. A green Molly is also pictured on the same packet which also went unreleased.
- He is the first Gogo in the checklist to have a wanted form.
- The red version of Angiru is considered a "secret rare," as it was produced less than the other four colors. This color of Angiru was produced less because the Most Wanted version used the same base color.
- Angiru appears to be based on a button-eyed doll.
- Angiru resembles "Sackboy" from the LittleBIGPlanet video game series.
- Angiru's name may come from angirũ which is known to mean "friend" in Paraguayan Spanish (taken from the Guaraní language). Considering the fact that Magic Box is a Spain-based company, a designer may have had knowledge of such a niche cultural quirk.
