Bio:
The titanic bird of prey, dubbed "Zeus" by the K.C.O (or Kaiju Containment Organization) is a creature that certainly is not to be trifled with. Discovered roosting at the peak of Mount Olympus in Greece, it (like many other kaiju) had apparently been in hibernation prior to being awoken by the second World War. Zeus is theorized to be be several thousand years old after carbon-dating one of his fallen feathers, perhaps even dating back to classical era Ancient Greece. Because of this, it is believed that the legend Greek God of of the same name may have arose from encounters with the kaiju by the Greek people of the time. Since it's awakening, Zeus has proven to be a surprisingly pliant Kaiju, appearing to be rather indifferent to humanity so long as they do not intrude on his perceived territory. Yet, he has showed to have the same destructive capabilities as others of its' kind, usually without even intending to, as the sheer wind force caused by the creature taking flight can cause major damage to several urban areas.
Zeus is an Alpha Level kaiju, seemingly having taken claim to the Mediterranean as many other kaiju (including THE KRAKEN and SOBEK) have been observed resounding to Zeus' call. It is unknown as of now whether Zeus was always alpha of the Mediterranean or gained the status after deposing of the previous alpha. Massive fossils that were found near Zeus' roost seems to point towards the latter.
Warning: While indifferent to humanity, Zeus is not a kaiju to be provoked in anyway. The kaiju has in the past demonstrated great destructive ability and has been shown in the past to be quite relentless when angered.
Powers/Abilities
- Flight reaching speeds of near Mach 4
- Immense flight speed results in destructive sonic booms and shock waves
- Able to store and expel massive amounts of electricity from its' body (Somewhat similar to an Electric Eel)
- Despite its' size, it's maneuverability in the air is nearly unmatched
- Capable of creating extremely powerful winds via flapping its' wings
- Razor sharp talons and beak are capable of shredding flesh even of other kaiju
- Appears to be particularly durable even by kaiju standards (it has shrugged off blasts from other kaiju appearing more irritated than hurt)
//So this here is my first entry for my little Kaijuverse that I plan to make a proper story for eventually. Anyways, figured I'd start with the first of a few kaiju based off of figures from myth
