Name: Pumano(Combinations of the words Pumice and Volcano)
Alias: The Sneezing Eruption, The Fluffy Menace
Length: 30 Meters
Weight: 25 Meters
Height: 15,000 Tons
Means of Locomotion: Running, burrowing, hopping and leaping
Alignment: Neutral
Rank: 4

Abilities
-Obsidian Fangs/Claws: Pumano is like any other rodent in regards to have chisel-like teeth in the upper and lower jaw. The exception is that these teeth are composed of hard and yet brittle obsidian, smooth and gleaming as if polished into jewelry with a fine edge. These teeth are the result of the alien biology of Pumano’s bone marrow and this also causes the teeth to constantly grow like the teeth of a beaver. Such a growth rate requires Pumano to chew and gnaw on things daily, namely on volcanic rock and other minerals in which Pumano also makes a partial diet out of. These teeth give Pumano an overall devastating bite as obsidian is hard and chips into fine edges, allowing him to bite through military vehicles with ease and the armor of most enemy kaiju if the need arose. In addition to have chisel teeth, Pumano’s claws are also Obsidian and allow him to burrow in rock with relative ease.
-Magma Bone Marrow: All of Pumano’s power comes from the simple mutation that all of his bones are made from super dense carbon that borders diamond(Which makes his bones rather difficult to break) and the marrow within these bones is nothing less than molten rock. In fact, each bone seems to be a miniature volcano at a temperature around 2400 degrees Fahrenheit. What causes the intense hot magma inside is not understood and what allows Pumano’s biology to exist is an even greater mystery that no one in this day and age can figure out. Whatever the curious trivia that it is, it does allow Pumano to breathe fire and causes his fur to reach scolding temperatures that will make physical contact with Pumano difficult for living things that have no heat protection.
-Achoo-BOOM!: With volcanic inner workings comes the effects of having its own side effects. Among all of them, Pumano is well known for spontaneously exploding at will… or flat out sneezing, coughing, or any other small bodily functions. It’s not that he actually explodes; but it is the same effect all the same. Chinchillas in general have about sixty hairs coming from each follicle on average, and Pumano is very much the same. On inch on his body alone holds around 20,000 hairs on his body and every single one of them is hollow and connected to veins, which connect all over the body. Naturally hot gasses, many which are waste byproducts from the volcanic marrow in the body build up. By force the gasses at will, Pumano simply pushes the gas out through the hollow hairs and releases a sudden explosion of hot, sometimes flammable gas creates a blast radius up to fifty meters in some cases! While its overall a way to relief toxins and pressure, this also makes a very surprising defensive tactic and sometimes offensive one. While generally peaceful as well, this also makes Pumano a high risk factor around populated areas as he can unintentionally blow up houses and buildings with ease.
-Armored Pelt: Millions of hairs cover Pumano and create a durable; almost rock-hard surface just from the sheer amount of fur there is alone. This fur is very soft and smooth like velvet, but can endure a surprisingly amount of blunt force and cutting power that would normally lead to the death of such a small kaiju.
-Magma Rodent: Because of Pumano’s nature it is obvious to tell Pumano is immune to heat, fire, and actually is immune to fatal levels of radiation as well. Pumano can wade in magma and shrug it off easily as the pelt repels magma like duck feathers repel water. Fire beams, fire weapons, napalm bombs and so forth also are virtually useless against him.

Weaknesses
-Water: Water is a big no-no for Pumano to the point that he will only take in what is needed and nothing more. Most water comes from whatever he eats. Anymore and his fiery powers diminish quickly and may even cause illness. Being dunked in water is the worst case scenario since his fur is so thick that it is difficult to dry it out completely, watering down his hairs and making release of hot gasses and explosive powers virtually impossible and leaving him open to attacks from monsters, military, or even small dangers such as mold.

Personality
For such a small and insignificant looking kaiju, it is VERY easy to assume Pumano is a shy, reclusive, easily frightened and overall innocent creature that simply has potentially dangerous power. This is but an appearance that is owned by a rather conniving creature who knows it has power and uses it often when it wants something. Down to it, Pumano is content being left alone to his own devices and often avoids humanity on a general basis. The main issue is that Pumano has a preferred territory and anything that enters the area is more or often fair game in terms of his full prickish attitude. Fellow kaiju are often heckled and harassed until they move out of his home range with guerilla warfare tactics; bites and sudden explosions, followed by quickly diving down the nearest burrow for another setup. Overall, the rodent seems to enjoy doing this even if it is hard work and holds a rather pleased expression while doing so. Humans are apparently tolerated in small numbers and normally ignored.

History
Sept 1, 2021
Upon the return to the Ammonite, Marian had a whole job of reporting back to the United Nations with her find about the Spi’Da race that lived in their little slice of land, as well as the reports of “Blarg” and the sudden appearance of Xenus in the southern parts of Argentina. Gabriel was reported quickly chasing after him, but military was naturally getting involved anyway in a mad manhunt for the alien menace.
The United Nations was now in a standstill with the discovery of the Spi’Da race and the debate about it was almost as heated as the topics on the alien monsters on the planet. A majority of the first calls were to wipe the arachnid creatures out, but after extensive explanation from Marian, the opinions were slowly changing to more positive views, but most still remained wary.
Not only did Marian fight on the behalf of the Spi’Da, but did Vagrant and Zero as well as they had spent time with many individuals of the Spi’Da race and explained in rather deep detail on their intelligence, culture, and oddly polite hospitality. Many still were unsure of them as these were not human beings, and many would not apply to the amendments and conducts created specifically for humans as well. However down to it, the decision was going to have to come down to the governments of South America and its representatives.
Upon asking the opinion of Kaiju Chasers Team-B(Consisting of Mercy, Ab, Brian and Alexander) many of the team expressed great prejudice, outside of Alexander who was very political upon the topic of allowing equal rights and treatment of the Spi’Da race.

The debate would not be decided on for some time as it would last for years to come.

After the events involving the Spi’Da, Kaiju Chasers Team-A continued their voyage southward until they hit Antarctic waters. Returning this far south had brought some tension as the two previous visits had told them and the world that these freezing waters were rich in monsters.
This third visit however had revealed in detail the result of the meteor storm caused by Nibiru. The grey rock and virgin white ice was completely absent when the southern continent came into view. Patches of ice were few and far between. What little ice existed floated absently by in the freezing that surround Antarctica.
In place of sheets of ice that once dominated the land were miles of rock and earth that had not seen the light of day for millions of years. Being exposed to sunlight caused a dramatic growth spurt of prehistoric plant life that was quickly overtaking a land that time had forgotten.
For as tropical and beautiful as it was becoming, it was still a very violent place. Volcanos plumed smoke into the air from the lands interior, and kaiju still were roaming the shores as Marian quickly noted as several monsters were spotted as the ship stopped for a few days for a brief viewing of the changes Antarctica had suffered. Mostly species, but in the distance she spotted he vague colors and shapes of seemingly one Tyrannosonitus. Whether it was one of the same she met before or another from another part of Antarctica was a mystery to her.
Something to note while the Ammonite lazily cruised along, Oko, the Okotopus from years earlier, followed along in the wake of the ship. Marian watched him for a good hour, but she could not figure out why exactly the male cephalopod shadowed the ship as it did. Perhaps he was expecting something, but speculation was all there was on that.
Marian wanted ever so badly to search this new growing jungle… Perhaps in the future when she was ready for it, and more specifically when Vagrant was.

During the days watching the shoreline, a new report came in from Chile about a new monster causing violent explosions along the Andes Mountains, far inland of the Valparaiso region. Chile Military have already attempted to take care of the creature responsible, but every attempt was completely wiped out as it seems to “Come from everyplace at once”.

Marian gathered Vagrant and Zero in to talk about the subject at hand and how to go about it as the Ammonite changed its heading and was on a course to anchor in the Valparaiso province, and would continue inland via helicopter to the mountains where the monster is said to be staying at.
“Okay so, we have a monster in the mountains… Annnd it causes explosions, and seems to be a rodent. At least I think its rodent, judging from the aerial pictures taken of it.” Marian passed at picture out to Vagrant who studied it. “But it seems to be staying in the mountains, out of population… Which confuses me why they want to get rid of it so badly.”
Vagrant studied the picture with a bored expression. “Well, normally you got demonizing humans when they start firing guns at monsters. Where did that attitude go?”
Glaring for a moment, she humored it. “Well, humans do become afraid of monsters and want to destroy them out of misunderstanding and fear. So I imagine it’s the typical scenario.”
“Why not use a big mousetrap?” Zero joked as he was messing about with the specialized arrow heads he used as weapons.
“Funny, Zero. Veerry funny.” She sighed. “My plan is to go in, talk to the military, and figure out the details. If need be, we can see if we can drive this thing all the way to the other side of the mountains and farther away from major cities. We win, the kaiju wins, problem solved.”
“And if we can’t?” Vagrant knew all too well it was never that easy.
Thinking for a moment, she shrugged. “I really don’t know. If it stays in the mountains flat out, we might just have to decide to leave it there like we did with Bulragus.”
“And that went over so well with the inhabitants of Rio.”
“The city was half flooded anyway…”
“Not the point.”
“Anyway,” she continued, “If it does prefer the mountains, then I don’t see why to bother with it. We’ll just have to see where this all leads.”

Within days, the Ammonite was in port and Marian was airlifted with Zero and Vagrant inland, over the city and into higher elevation. Air travel was notably faster than anything terrestrial, covering the distance to the quarantine zone which the monster had been living in.
Even from a distance, smoke plumed into sky as if the mountain chain had come alive in full tectonic force. Areas were scorched and scarred from the apparent bombings, but were obviously caused by the monster in question as opposed to bombs and missiles.
The copter landed in a military base camp settled on a plateau, and were greeted by none other than Captain David from weeks earlier. “Ah, Marian. Welcome, I heard you were coming.”
His presence here confused her. “Why are you here? I thought you were a captain, not a general.”
“The United Nations decided that I would be useful dealing with monsters after the whole fiasco back in the US. I am now part of the Kaiju Defense Organization. KDO, for short.”
“I see,” she quietly replied. The young brown haired girl had conflicting opinions on this, but he proved reliable before.
David continued onward. “Less formality and onto business. Come,” he gestured over to a table with a map on it. “Here is a map of the surrounding ten mile radius of the area. The creature we are chasing has been seen father then this, but spends much of its time in this immediate area with the converging two valleys in which it is often sighted in. We have discovered several burrows it has dug, going straight into rock no less… and it has been using these burrows to evade any sort of bombardment or attack, while at the same time retaliating with violent explosions.”
She listened on, waiting for him to finish… When he did, she jumped into the conversation. “So it’s attacking back?”
“Yes, and with some devastating success. It’s almost like its mocking us. It will attack, dive back into tis underground network and then appear two miles away, acting innocent as it acts cute.”
“It acts cute?” Hearing those words from a military man perked her interest.
“You would not believe it unless you saw it. It sits there, chewing on a piece of rock or wood, and just watches… I kid you not. I could swear it laughs when it chatters.”
“I could very believe it. What is it anyway?”
“Honestly… I think it’s a squirrel.”
“…A squirrel.” David just stared at her, waiting for that to sink in on her. “So… Rodent, okay we got that much, and it is smart. Okay… What did you have in mind so far to do with it?”
Pointing out every mark on the map, he began to explain, “We decided to cave in its burrows during its next attack. The next time we attack, or it attacks, we will trap it underground and give it only one exit to escape. We will wait for it to emerge, and then bombard it into submission.”
To that, Marian shook her head. Again with the bombs and guns; it bothered her how military not only did something she did not like, but also continued the same failing tactic of shoot on sight. “Honestly, is that all the military thinks about?”
“And what would you have us do?” David challenged her.
“Well… Leave it alone?”
David started laughing, finding it funny for a brief moment. “Well, not to spoil your day, but the South American government is going to let some giant creature that explodes whenever it wants run around freely.”
“Does it come near the cities?”
“No.”
“Then why not just give the creature reason to just stay away from the city… such as not antagonizing it. Way I see it, it’s harmless unless it comes into a population. Get me in contact with the UN, I’ll handle this.”

Miles away, the creature in question… Pumano, as it was going to be named, slowly emerged from a burrow. Long, almost weasel-like body… a pair of horns, big and adorable eyes with a fluffy tail, and a coat of fur thick enough to blow bullets; Pumano was a little monster all of his own. The two horns upon the head released light clouds of black smoke while the pegs going along the tail had wisps of steam coming from them.
Off in the distance, Pumano spotted the shiny glint of military vehicles. By this point, the furry critter had recognized these things as annoying and in deserving of aggressive prejudice. It had just found a nice spot to feed too. More reason to send the intruders packing.
Bounding off with a kick of his hind claws, Pumano began bounding forward toward the forces that infringed its boundaries. Naturally the military forces began to open fire, but Pumano was very quick to dodging incoming shells. Backtracking a few body lengths, the creature took a deep breath and tensed up. The two horns upon its head suddenly erupted in clouds of thick, oil black smoke which quickly overtook the immediate.
Nothing to target, the attacking forces were about to make a quick retreat. Just as they were turning tail, the kaiju was atop of them, looming over with curious, yet malicious eyes. Taking another deep breath, Pumano held his breath and sudden illuminated and cleared all the smoke in one fell swoop as every single hair on his body released high pressurized gas, resulting in a bursting explosion.
All within the blast zone of several meters were either vaporized or sent flying in their armored tanks and jeeps; little to no survivors. In the center of the shallow, burnt crater, the fluffy menace wiggled its nose and scratched its ear contently with what appeared to be a pleased expression. Both ears perked, Pumano looked around before bounding uphill and to the nearest summit.
Surprise, surprise: more military slowly cruising along a worn pathway that was used long ago by people and hardly big enough for even a tank. There seemed no possible end to these small, annoying things. Well they weren’t going to leave on their own, Pumano charged down the mountainside and broke the marching line before it could react, trampling over them and sending several bouncing downhill. That left plenty in place though as they turned and began firing at will. Handheld fire was doing absolutely nothing due to that immensely thick pelt. If not bouncing out flat out, then heavier shells were just getting stuck in the fur.
Being shot at was not enough to stop this persistent critter. He simply knocked the tanks and jeeps over the trail and let gravity do the rest. No need for exerting here. After knocking off the last of them, Pumano just watched the last couple tumble, amused by the noises they made as they hit rock.

But more still came, and for an hour this continued. Eventually the destruction led to a certain point that Pumano stopped assaulting the military, watching the retreat back and standing sentry atop a high rock with a defiant, yet adorable glare that was equally as threatening, shockingly enough.

As it turned out, Marian’s recommendations were taken into account and implemented to see the following effects. Seemingly it worked as the kaiju did nothing but stand guard over its apparent territorial boundary, content with its job of driving out the small attackers.
“Told you so,” she told David, who shrugged.
“I admit, you were right, like last time. I doubt it will work three times in a row, though. We will continue to guard the border, see how long this boundary goes on and make sure it stays on its side. Are you happy you didn’t get too involved?”
“Actually, I am happier you didn’t. Or anyone else for that matter. I suppose I should be returning to the Ammonite and continuing on. I hear there are sightings of sea monsters around the pacific, and a lot of them at that.”
Hearing that, he stared at her. “If you are going after sea monsters, I put my hat back and stay in reachable distance. Better safe than sorry.”

Meanwhile, miles out to sea, to leviathans ominously circled each other, only to scatter as a much larger threat commanded plenty of respect…

-------------------------------------------------

Finally I get back to Dawn of Monsters. After about 4 or 5 months... probably longer, actually, but I can't get track worth a damn. Point is, LONG TIME.

This guy has been a seen concept before. A living volcano bomb of a Chinchilla... and there are NOT Chinchilla kaiju. That is a win all of its own.

Profile turned out... half assed, I admit. It started out good and progressively got a little lazy. Well, its a filler kaiju anyway if anything. But after this, we start getting into some serious stuff. Hopefully with better writing and all that.

..I wonder who is cuter. Ren's Squirrel(Forget the name, too lazy to look it up) or this Chinchilla of Doom.. Honestly I would like to see them meet face to face. Especially with this ones attitude.

anyway, enjoy.

Nothing to target, the attacking forces were about to make a quick retreat. Just as they were turning tail, the kaiju was atop of them, looming over with curious, yet malicious eyes. Taking another deep breath, Pumano held his breath and sudden illuminated and cleared all the smoke in one fell swoop as every single hair on his body released high pressurized gas, resulting in a bursting explosion.
All within the blast zone of several meters were either vaporized or sent flying in their armored tanks and jeeps; little to no survivors. In the center of the shallow, burnt crater, the fluffy menace wiggled its nose and scratched its ear contently with what appeared to be a pleased expression. Both ears perked, Pumano looked around before bounding uphill and to the nearest summit.
Surprise, surprise: more military slowly cruising along a worn pathway that was used long ago by people and hardly big enough for even a tank. There seemed no possible end to these small, annoying things. Well they weren’t going to leave on their own, Pumano charged down the mountainside and broke the marching line before it could react, trampling over them and sending several bouncing downhill. That left plenty in place though as they turned and began firing at will. Handheld fire was doing absolutely nothing due to that immensely thick pelt. If not bouncing out flat out, then heavier shells were just getting stuck in the fur.
Being shot at was not enough to stop this persistent critter. He simply knocked the tanks and jeeps over the trail and let gravity do the rest. No need for exerting here. After knocking off the last of them, Pumano just watched the last couple tumble, amused by the noises they made as they hit rock.

But more still came, and for an hour this continued. Eventually the destruction led to a certain point that Pumano stopped assaulting the military, watching the retreat back and standing sentry atop a high rock with a defiant, yet adorable glare that was equally as threatening, shockingly enough.

As it turned out, Marian’s recommendations were taken into account and implemented to see the following effects. Seemingly it worked as the kaiju did nothing but stand guard over its apparent territorial boundary, content with its job of driving out the small attackers.
“Told you so,” she told David, who shrugged.
“I admit, you were right, like last time. I doubt it will work three times in a row, though. We will continue to guard the border, see how long this boundary goes on and make sure it stays on its side. Are you happy you didn’t get too involved?”
“Actually, I am happier you didn’t. Or anyone else for that matter. I suppose I should be returning to the Ammonite and continuing on. I hear there are sightings of sea monsters around the pacific, and a lot of them at that.”
Hearing that, he stared at her. “If you are going after sea monsters, I put my hat back and stay in reachable distance. Better safe than sorry.”

Meanwhile, miles out to sea, to leviathans ominously circled each other, only to scatter as a much larger threat commanded plenty of respect…

Finally I get back to Dawn of Monsters. After about 4 or 5 months... probably longer, actually, but I can't get track worth a damn. Point is, LONG TIME.

This guy has been a seen concept before. A living volcano bomb of a Chinchilla... and there are NOT Chinchilla kaiju. That is a win all of its own.

Profile turned out... half assed, I admit. It started out good and progressively got a little lazy. Well, its a filler kaiju anyway if anything. But after this, we start getting into some serious stuff. Hopefully with better writing and all that.

..I wonder who is cuter. Ren's Squirrel(Forget the name, too lazy to look it up) or this Chinchilla of Doom.. Honestly I would like to see them meet face to face. Especially with this ones attitude.

anyway, enjoy.
