Gaira redesign! DUN DUN!

Postby Agu » Sat Jun 18, 2005 5:06 am

Alright, I have decided to redesign Gaira. Why? Well he is one of my favorite Kaiju of all time.


ANYWAY.


Here it is.

Leg and Eye.

AND FINALLY! The Synopsis...


Believed that the giant Frankenstein monster had been vanquished, left to rot under the unforgiving black depths of the Pacific ocean. It’s massive body became easy pickings for any type of scavenger marine life. Eating off the giant corpse until nothing remained, it would seem that the days of the Frankenstein monster unleashing its vengeful wrath on the world would be over…

However.

What was once a giant powerhouse of destruction was now fish waste. As time would go on, the waste became a form of strange algae, which grew. Grew rapidly, evolving at a remarkable pace. Soon from this twisted man made primordial ooze, became more than just plant life. From fish, to reptile, and finally to mammalian. Reverting back to the most primitive of human form, the monster had unwillingly gave birth to something primal.

With a hunched back, massive forearms, thick green scaly hair, this form of aquatic simian was seldom seen by man. Though when it’s hideous yet remarkable form was gazed upon by human eyes, it was in disbelief. The beast was quickly dubbed Gargantua. A fitting name for a beast that was more than twenty five meters in height. The marine Gargantua species was apply named Gaira, pronounced Gai-la. Not to different from its mountain dwelling cousin.

A massive thinking brain, a sloped brow, jagged canine like front teeth, giant echo sensitive ears. All features of the monsters strangely human face. Appearing much like that or early man.

With a hide covered with dark green fur, to store heat and a heart bigger then a car. A gigantic ribcage held massive lungs, giving it enough air reserve for hours of ocean exploration. Giant claws made out of the same hair that covered its body, powerful dark ivory like weapons, much like that of a rhino’s horn. With all the nerves and muscular structuring kept preserved in the bladed fingers, strong enough to shred steel, yet pliable enough to bend themselves at command.

Its thick arms much like paddles, pushing it through the murky depths with graceful ease. Its eyes covered in a white milky colored membrane, a third eyelid, like that of crocodiles, helped the beasts sensitive sight when deep below the wake. Its arms and legs used in conjunction, to pull it through deep sea chasms as it searched for its favorite prey, the giant Octopus. A two hundred foot long mollusk was the meal of choice for this particular giant anthropoid.

Using a combination of powerful cent glands and a echo like location function the beast had evolved, simple low pitched grunts would reflect off the deep trench walls. Stirring up sand and rocks, these sound waves were responsible for unmasking the intelligent mollusk’s insidious disguise. With an explosion of ebony ink, the life struggle would begin.

When the two titans met in mortal combat, the Gargantua almost always came out on top. Many times, the mighty green simian would settle on simply tearing one of the devilfish’s giant tentacles off, scurrying away to then devour it. As opposed to killing the monstrous cephalopod entirely. No marine life was safe, as the oceans now had a new dominant predator.

No longer could the great white rule the depths, as it too would flee for its life in the presence of the great green ape. However, this dominance of the seas was not enough. As the giant octopi species grew toward extinction, soon any form of protein would do. Sinking fishing vessels, eating everything aboard, including human flesh. Gaira soon gained a new taste, for slow moving, earth bond prey. Human beings were easy pickings, and plentiful as well.

Pulling itself upon the alien dry land, Gaira now hunted people as well as any other form of protein. Prying people from buildings, vehicles, and their homes before retreating back into the ocean bottom. Mankind now had a new enemy… the Green Gargantua.
