Appearance

Little of the creature's form is detailed beyond its sheer scale, though its towering, city-wrecking presence deliberately echoes the famous reptilian titan Godzilla, right down to the nickname Kaijuzila.

History

Where the beast came from is never confirmed, though Damien Darkblood claims Hell bred its kind to wander the Earth across the ages, which may place its own origins there as well. One evening it lays waste to a downtown district, perhaps Los Angeles, burning a squad of officers alive.

The Guardians of the Globe arrive but are quickly outmatched, and it falls to Invincible to cut the rampage short with a swift kill. Rather than gratitude, the survivors glare at him in fear and resentment, still unable to forgive his role in the Invincible War. The Global Defense Agency likely disposed of the corpse afterward.

Abilities

The monster brings crushing strength and a hide tough enough to brush off gunfire and ordinary munitions, though it holds up poorly against powered beings like Invincible. Its deadliest trait is a stream of molten fire from its jaws that melts and consumes whatever it touches.
