Well, despite my better judgement, I couldn't stop at four parts and had even more ideas for background beasts. I have a lot coming up in a few days, so this is the first of a new batch of kaiju. You'll notice with this and future batches that I want them to feel like they came out of an Ultraman show, so you'll be seeing a lot of Ultraman kaiju influences here.

Top Left - For some reason, I wanted to kaijufy a clam or oyster. And when I got to thinking, I thought it would be a horrifying visual to have a giant eye inside its mouth, akin to a DND Beholder. The only other thing to add were tentacles on the bottom to slither around since it felt creepier than just legs.

Top Center - This might be the most eyebrow raising one of the entire lot, but i haven't seen anyone kaijufy a skunk, so I decided to give it a shot. I gave it a body like anteaters, a long Shin Godzilla-esc tail that waves around, and a crown of spikes on its head as a nod to how western cartoons draw skunks with messy hair.

Top Right - I couldn't resist and added one more serpent kaiju. Okay, kinda, specifically, I based this one on the mythical Naga, as a kaiju version sounded like fun. First thing I did was make the face more like a baboon or mandrill for rear factor, added skull appendages on the frill like Koh from Avatar, and colors like that of a bandy bandy snake.

Center Left - Another weirdo in the lineup. I wanted something with a big pulsating head, but I didn't want to go the easy route and make a giant brain. So, I went another route and meshed the head of a blue whale, the head bulge of a Big Head Flowerhorn, a body like retro Megalosaurus' and Gor Gor from GWAR, shoulders and arms like the War of the World aliens, and big bulging veins all over.

Center - Going from weird to simple, we have a Tasmanian devil-based kaiju. While making this, I was made aware of the kaiju Degunja from Ultraman Great, so I made lengths to avoid copying him while also avoiding easy Australian animals like koalas and kangaroos. I gave him a big bear-like body, emphasized the teeth, gave him the tail of potoroos, and some small details from bandicoots.

Center Right - This one, I'll admit, is somewhat plain, but since he's gonna be in the background, I'm sure it'll be fine for now. Anyhoo, I basically made an upright deer stag with giant reindeer like horns, a neck like moose, a tall, long body like Gabara, and hands like camel hooves.

EDIT: Made the overall plan more like a moose with the face, build, and antlers modified to reflect this

Bottom Left - The last lizard of the lot, I wanted a giant girdled lizard as a kaiju after taking one look at it. This was a very simple procedure, I gave this one a posture akin to kaiju like Zedus or Gomess, lengthened the horns, and gave it organic wrist gaurds like those on The One from Ultraman the Next.

Bottom Center - Last one of the batches, and its a dinosaur, specifically a Torosaurus. I wanted to avoid the staples of these kind of dinosaur kaiju by making it a bigger version of the creature, so I modeled the posture of Magular so he could go back and forth between four legs and two legs. I also gave it a nasal horn like einiosaurus and a tail club like that of Yongary.

And that should be it. I really mean it when I say this should be the last background kaiju for Cavaterra, but I'll say that it was fun while it lasted. These designs aren't fully set in stone, and I would really appreciate any kind of feedback, tidbits, anything that could help refine them some. Especially with color, since I'm personally not very good with colors. Anyhoo, I look forward to seeing what y'all have to say.

UPDATE (5/16/24): All the colors have been updated to be more vibrant, big thanks to 54godamora for helping me.
