Description Ratatoskr: Messager of the Yggdrasil

Design Aspect
Ratatoskr is based on the mythological squirrel of the same name. He also has aspects of flying squirrel and chipmunk with addition with thorn bush. I gave him colours relating to trees, nuts and acorns which are shades of browns and greens. He also has a horn on his head and thorns in his tail. 


Biological Information
Height: 125 feet (on two), 205 feet (on four)
Length: 245 feet
Weight: 22,500 tons

History
In Norse Mythology, Ratatoskr was a messager who runs up and down the "world tree" Yggdrail between the eagle and a dragon (or serpent). It is suggested that he somehow tricked both the eagle and the dragon to hate each other. It is unknown which Titans are the eagle and the dragons as there are only two eagle Titans found so far but several different types of draconic and serpent Titans. However, it is strongly suggested that the "eagle" is the newly found Griffin Titan now named Zeus and the dragon possibly Ghidorah. Monarch historian found that Ratatoskr is always linked to one of the plant Titans, either Biollante or Xipe Totec and his presence apparently doubles their powers. However, it is unknown how Ratatoskr traveled between both Titans. Many theorists within Monarch suggested that he may have the ability to travel through "dimensional gates" similar to that of the Bifrost bridge. It is suggested that Ratatoskr might had misdirect Ghidorah to another Titan which leads questions to how Ratatoskr was able to communicate with Ghidorah due to Ghidorah being a creature that seeks to establish dominance. 

In the present, Ratatoskr is found hibernating among the mountains in Kluane National Park and Reserves, Canada which is near to Biollante's location suggesting Ratatoskr's symbiotic relationship with Plant based Titans. When Ghidorah called out to the Titans he defeated, Ratatoskr senses Biollante's distress from Ghidorah's roar but also heard Xipe Totec's call. Due to the distance, Ratatoskr rushed to the aid of Biollante. When he arrived there were already three Titans fighting against Biollante. However, due to his size, Ratatoskr was beaten by the three bigger Titans and Biollante begin transforming into her alternate form, Venus form. Thanks to Ratatoskr's presence, Biollante becomes more powerful. 


Powers and Abilities
Ratatoskr is a Titan of small size but much bigger than the three moth/butterfly Titans and Huitzilopochtli. Ratatoskr uses his claws and a small horn on his head for close combat. While he does not have a powerful bite, Ratatoskr gnawed on his opponents to create distractions and move on to gnaw onto another area. It is suggested that Ratatoskr can teleport, however, at this moment it cannot be proven. Ratatoskr is also a trickster and had created discord between Titans. However, he has known to play possum and allow his opponents to target another enemy. 

Ratatoskr's main ability is plant manipulation which includes the healing of plant and growth of nuts which he uses as ammo. Ratatoskr also has a bushy tails with thorns that can causes itchiness onto others serving as a distraction. He can also empowers Plant based Titans such as Biollante and Xipe Totec and double their powers. The nuts Ratatoskr grows are large enough to fit into his cheek pouch which he uses to rapidly fire onto his opponents.

By "dimensional gates" you mean Hollow Earth Tunnels, right?

Oh my, I just pseudoscienced myself.
hhhmmm, it could technically work if he goes into the waters since Biollante and Xipe Totec's common grounds are near the oceans and very large lake. 

On another note, I am not releasing anything today. I am drawing two Kaijus and releasing them together in one picture as I did mention that this Titan would be a pair of them.
