Description Atrocity, the monstrous literal alligator gar

Height: 50 meters (all fours) / 110 meters (fully reared)
Length: 245 meters
Mass: 95,000 tons
Rank: 3

Allies: Cressie

Description:
Under his own will, Atrocity is a grumpy beast that would much rather be left alone then fight. He's oddly tolerable for such a grouch though, nipping and flailing at annoyances, but never fully loosing his temper. This has made him a popular perch for waterfowl, because he will only briefly shake them off. The two creatures that make Atrocity up- an armored gar and a strong-jawed alligator- are both ambush predators, and so is he. But it's difficult for him to hide his great mass. So instead of relying on that for surprise, he takes a different route. Normally, he moves quite slowly, in or out of the water. But in an instant, he can explode into blinding speeds. These burst only last for a few seconds, but that's all the time he needs to do his work. These lightning lunges are unpredictable, practically unavoidable, and extremely dangerous. Although a loner by nature, Atrocity is willing to ally himself with other kaiju when it is necessary. In particularly, he has often found himself fighting alongside or working with Cressie. Finding a certain kinship with the other saurian fish, they will often hunt together and share the same deep channels as their joint territory. They can often be found basking near the surface on sunny mornings, a popular sight for tourists and photographers.

Powers:
-Fangs: Vicious rows of jagged teeth line Atrocity's jaws; not only can hugely powerful bites be delivered by these needle-like teeth, but he will often use the jutting fangs to slash and stab, putting as his whole weight behind them
-Tail Lobe: the dense mass of flesh and scales that tip Atrocity's tail is a brutal clubbing weapon, able to crack skull and tear flesh
-Razor Scutes: the jagged scutes that run down Atrocity's back are surprisingly sharp and can be used as swim-by weapons
-Death Roll: a trait from his crocodilian side, Atrocity will often launch into powerful, full-body spins; this can add to damage caused by his bites, or simply be used to batter foes with his great girth; his razor-edged scutes are at their most dangerous during these rapid rotations
-Air Canon: with a violent contraction of his lungs and throat, Atrocity can fire a powerful blast of compact air, like a huge bullet; can be used on land or in water; on land, it's faster, but less powerful; in water, it's more powerful, but slower; Atrocity's breath must be fully regained before another use, and overuse of this weapon will leave him heaving
-Lunge!: in short burst, Atrocity can move will a speed and ferocity that most foes can't counter
-Ganoid Armor: the tough, interlocking scales that cover most of Atrocity's body form an incredibly strong armor, making his impervious to most blows; they make him a walking, swimming tank of flashing teeth and snapping jaws
-Amphibious: Atrocity has fully-operational lungs and gills, letting him effortlessly move from land to water; prefers to laze about underwater though

Weakness:
-Being a creature of little stamina and motivation, Atrocity will often just retreat if he judges a battle to be too long or hard
-Atrocity's baggy, starch whit throat is practically his only vulnerable area

Bio:
Atrocity was created as a living tank and smuggled into the Caribbean by the Cryptic Eyes at the same time that Bound and Queen Coil appeared. He was sent to the tropical paradise in an expendable cargo boat, which he promptly sunk upon awaking for the first time.

Having not seen action since becoming part of the G.A.K.F., Oscar and Avenger were sent after the giant alligator-gar hybrid that was terrorizing the tropical tourist trap (Alliteration!). The great water beast was sinking ships and throwing tourism into chaos. Immediately emerging from the crystal clear water when Avenger arrived on an isolated beach, Atrocity attacked! The massive predator could lunge with unbelievable speed, negating physical combat as an option. Keeping his distance from the beast, Oscar opened fire with all of Avenger's firepower. But Atrocity's boney scales could take everything thrown at the, and the creature was smart enough to hid its soft throat. Realizing that it was useless, Oscar almost retreated. Then he picked up races on a non-G.A.K.F. signal on his radio. Guessing the mystery signal was being used to manipulate Atrocity, he focused his fire on the thing's solid skull. With enough ammunition to take down a small country slamming against his skull, the small device used to control Atrocity was destroyed, and the alligator gar freed from the Cryptic Eyes.

Loosing his motivation to fight, Atrocity retreated. Chasing after the fleeing water giant, Avenger managed to drive the irritated beast right into Giant's Gate Two. Left alone by his fellow kaiju, Atrocity now rules the deepest channels of the vast marsh. He formed a sort of companionship with Cressie though, and they share a large territory that they hunt together.

When Mesucos invaded Giant's Gate Two, Atrocity teamed-up with his common companion Cressie. The two gave the Destroyer one hell of a fight, almost beating him down with their raw muscle, but where shocked into unconscious by his thunderbeam after being shoved in a conducting pool of water. After the caiman defeat, both he and the eel quickly recovered though. His white belly still bears faded scorch marks from the brutal frying.

Atrocity and Cressie soon found themselves team up again when the ice warrior spread across the globe. Defending their home, the two great fish used their great girth and oral weapons to obliterate the frosty legions. Aidryu's arrival served as a much needed relief of the tiring titans.

When the Nentuson made their final move on Earth, Atrocity, like all of the monster in the Giant's Gates, was released to help fend off the alien threat. Lead by powerful protective instincts, the reptile-fish headed east, soon joined by other Giants. First Frenzy, then Manic and Bound. The team of four arrived at their destination just in time, finding Slaughterhound standing over a beaten Prowl, ready to end Seth. Attacking the killer as one, the four terrestrial monster inadvertently saved Seth's life. Each beats taking a side, Atrocity charged 'Hound head-on. The doom-beast's deadly scythes simply glanced off his tough armor, and the mighty hybrid seized Slaughter' head in his fanged maw, mulching flesh and cracking bone. As he held the alien down, assisted by Manic and Frenzy, Bound pounced up to deliver a spine-snapping kick! Paralyzed, Slaughterhound collapsed, and was left for dead as the four Earth giants set off in their own directions. Atrocity resided in the nearby mangrove swamps of the Sunderbans before being driven back to Giant's Gate Two by Avenger once again.

The most literal alligator gar I've ever seen XD

Quite atrocious looking, I have to say, and that's a compliment. I like the oddly-colored fins, and yay for those teeth!

His revamp looks absolutely atrocious, but in a good way. LOL Anyways, his alligator traits are much more obvious now, which definately helps with his design. The webbing on his hands and feet are also neat additions. The coloration of his fins is...odd, but appropriate for a part-gar daikaiju.

HayesAJones In reply to Gilarah93 [2012-03-14 20:13:15 +0000 UTC]

The new fin coloration is mainly to distinguish him from Xercese, since they came out looking pretty similar.

In some aspects, perhaps.

Oddly enough, alligator gar are known come in come odd colors, albino ost notably.

*googles*

Huh, I guess they really do take after gators, albinism (or whatever pigment disorder it may actually be) and all!

Gilarah93 In reply to HayesAJones [2012-03-16 20:38:06 +0000 UTC]

LOL Indeed. I've been considering the albino look as the color scheme for my gar kaiju, albeit retooled a bit.

For a while, I had been considering altering the alligator gar's mobile skullbones into what I can only describe as a "three-mode transforming face". It's exactly what it sounds like.

Ooh, sounds like a very distinctive beast if you go through with it.

Gilarah93 In reply to HayesAJones [2012-03-17 06:23:57 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, but it was a concept for Alligar, and he's fine as-is. So no, I'm not likely to ever use it.

HayesAJones In reply to Gilarah93 [2012-03-17 20:13:32 +0000 UTC]

Ah. Oh well. Still, it's a good idea. I would keep it in mind, just in case.

I have no use for it, but I'll be keeping it in mind anyways.

very nice kaiju

Yes, good to see another alligator gar kaiju pop up around here. That makes four, I think.

His character isn't anything particularly unique, but I'm a bit biased for these fish, so Atrocity's one of my favorite of your kaiju so far. His design is also good, as half of the other gar kaiju are little more than oversized fish.

Thanks.

You know, I'm kinda surprised that no one actually tried combining an alligator and a gar before. It's seems rather obvious.

Gilarah93 In reply to HayesAJones [2011-06-10 15:15:55 +0000 UTC]

I just noticed something else.

The name "Atrocity" sounds a bit like the genus name of the alligator gar: "Atractosteus". Intentional, was it not?

HayesAJones In reply to Gilarah93 [2011-06-10 18:11:21 +0000 UTC]

Yep, ya' caught me. I typically look at scientific names first when dubbing me beasts, and this one's name just popped.

Gilarah93 In reply to HayesAJones [2011-06-10 19:46:19 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, nailed it.

I also use scientific names when naming kaiju, though I use jibberish rather than similar-sounding real words.

HayesAJones In reply to Gilarah93 [2011-06-10 21:52:59 +0000 UTC]

That's what I typically do. In fact, I think a lot of people do that.

Gilarah93 In reply to HayesAJones [2011-06-10 21:55:42 +0000 UTC]

We both appear to use "derived" jibberish; that is, jibberish with an actual base in reality, like scientific names or physical features. A lot of others use "true" jibberish, which is exactly what it sounds like.

Welcome.

A few confused my gar kaiju to be such a hybrid, which was apparently due to his name: Alligar.
