Description

Another kaijuverse I came up with about 2 monthes ago. One of the basic concepts of it was to not focus on just one main character, allowing you to see the events unfolding from the perspectives of different kaiju and people. The story centers around the discovery of a new energy source known as Whilash (pronounced: We - lawsh). Soon after the element is unvieled, kaiju around the globe rise and begin to bring the world to the edge of oblivion through thier destruction and epic battles, as the element's discoverer races to unlock the secrets of this "Olympian Fire".

Paldaris: The closest you'll get to a main kaiju in this series. A gigantic creature with a head like that of a demon cobra and body like that of a oriental lung. Armored with blood red and black scales, and various razor sharp spines, Paldaris has a subtly evil appearance. Despite this, Paldaris is good natured and has shown on numerous occasions to want to protect humanity. Paldaris awakened from a dormant volcano beneath the waves off the coast of Hawaii shortly after Whilash was discovered. Paldaris can withstand hot magma, and spray a highly flammable chemical (that blinds if contact with eyes is made) form glands in his mouth. He can ignite this via a special organ which connects to second esophagus in his throat, this organ allows him to expel fireballs at high speeds from his mouth. Paldaris is also capable of flight via creating an aura of heat around his body.

Arsinechidna: The "pollution kaiju" for this series. Arsinechidna is a giant parasite reanimating the decaying body of a giant shark kaiju. The parasite has calcified the existing bones, and grown new ones, giving it a new almost saurian appearance. The tentacles erupting from it's mouth are actually the limbs of the parasite inside. Various viens extending from the parasite into the corpse allowing it to manipulate the body, as well as draw nutrients from the stomach that the body must digest to feed to the parasite as it has no means of absorbing nutrients otherwise. Arsinechidna has the ability to spew a black substance that allow it to create a more suitable environment around it by convert nearby organic matter into structures for shelter, or feeding if needed. Within the hollowed out skull of the creature is a large glowing eye like organ, but this also serves as the parasite's brain, holes in the side of the skull allow it to see left and right, instead of just upwards. Finally, within Arsinechidna's gooey, black skin are it's tadpole like young that can be seen swimming on and beneath and in the corpse's skin. Arsinechidna lives within an abandoned nuclear power plant cooling pond.

Horuss: Named after the Egyptian god, Horuss awakened around the same time as Paldaris. His motives are unknown. Horuss has telekinetic abilities that allow it to lift and move objects with it's minds, feathers on the front of his wings act like razors blades, slicing most object that the bird flys through, and being a naturally adept flyer, Horuss can pull off complex aerial manuevers at high speeds.

A..T.D.U.-1: These machines are powered by Whilash, there are 10 in service and an advanced 11th prototype in production. Besides a heavy payload of liquid nitrogen filled missles, the A.T.D.U. s are equipped with concentrated whilash lazers that can punch through a vast majority of kaiju hides, but his drains thier power quicker. They can easily go from land, to air, to sea without needing to make adjustments to thier form as to pursue thier targets without delay. All. Terrain. Defense. Unit.

Khepara: Khepara arose along with Horuss. He is a giant beetle with a very scorpion appearance. It's stron shell can deflect most physical attacks, his giant tail and claws are his primary weapons along with the short range beam that can fired from his tail which is essentially a flash of energy that can be compared to a shotgun round. His wings are only large enough to lift the front part of his body off the ground. He can burrow well through sand, but not so much with most other types of sediment.

Epic Set as usual. You have a exelent eye for detail, especially the designs for Paldaris, Arsinechidna, Horuss. The story itself sounds pretty good too. Working with psudo-mythical ideas makes for alot of possibilities.
