Description Entry for Super-Sonic-101 's Legend ofΒ Zelda beast design contest It's a quickly as it's mostly just the design needed.

I felt like making a beast, though tried to make it with a bit of the Zelda style in there, I feel I failed but oh well. xD

Not sure about name, but guess Garugor will do.Β 
This beasty is like the t-rex/spino of the island it lives on. A 'King' species it can be seen as, though there is more than one, only one is usually seen in one area at a time--but not always. This guy is a brute not to be taken lightly, though the scales, horns and fins are worth a LOT if one is able to collect them. The Garugor is able to hunt on land and sea, though more successful in the water. The feet are designed like gator feet so it can thrive on either terrain, its front feet though are larger and flat to act as flippers in the water. Unlike normal animals, this beast can hold a grudge and never forgets the face that angered it, which can be a good or bad thing depending on what side you're on. It isn't a bady, nor a goody either, and its massive strength can be of help if the right actions are placed. It's large in size and will thrash its body in any way, head, tail, arms or even roll in a 'death roll' just to make a hit on its target, the rage of this beast is quite frightful.

The Garugor can come in many brilliant colors and patterns depending on its area of living. This guy lives at a large tropical island with many caves, so his bright colors match that of tropical birds. A lot of Zelda monsters are pretty colorful anyway. xD

I imagine the islands have a LOT of underwater caverns and tunnels, where this beast can use to get around in different places of the island, if the water is a bit salty, it's most likely because underneath it is connected by tunnels to the ocean.

If it were a boss battle, I would like to imagine that its three crystal orbs on its head would have to be broken to ward it off, though it will make it carry a grudge against the one who did so. In battle on land, a lot of its weight is on its front limbs and the head is leaned forward where the hair strains touch the ground, allowing possible hits to its face as well as its front legs. Breaking its claws will cause it to stumble and allow a near minute to get in there and hack away at its face, breaking its horns will weaken its head attacks and allow it to be easier to be knocked out. Breaking the scales on its chest will weaken its armor and further damage to its torso will cause death. The scales though are VERY hard, and need bombs to break its chest plates, though it will need to be knocked to the ground before a bomb hit will do any damage to expose its weak spot. I would imagine this beast to be a multi-part battle that goes one through the story/game/etc.

I wish you luck in the contest! I have to say this is a very impressive creature and from what you have said if he were a boss sounds even more impressive. Too bad there isn't anything like him within the Zelda world lol

Right!
I think you're right xD
I also think he'd be one of those bosses I'd be sitting there for a few hours trying to beat and then finally beating xDD

she has four tumors her one of her legs, one small, two medium, and one large, they don't move, so they won't go beyond her leg, but she is going through kemo treatment to reduce their size, and has to for a full year

Wow, I hope she gets better D:
Tumors are a scary thing.

I am always so impressed by your MS Paint skills!

This design is gorgeous! Looks very tropical and beautiful, but fierce-some and intimidating all at once. It looks like something that might've come to life straight from a fossil. He reminds me of Nishi actuallyΒ super-sonic-101.deviantart.com… Nishi is the Light Spirit of the Western Ocean, who is rumored to actually live on this same island

Adding your entry right away \o/

Thank you! <3

I imagine it to be something that would show up every once in a while like the t-rex or Spino in the Jurassic Park movies, mixed with the battle style/traits of Monster Hunter. He's mostly inspired by the Lagiacrus in Monster Hunter, though in a more Zelda theme I guess? xD

Oooooh, I did not see this guy before, is this monster too much like him? xD;;;; Will that hurt my chances or will it not matter?

FayeleneFyre In reply to XenomorphicDragon [2014-04-15 19:14:27 +0000 UTC]

No problem!

I could certainly see this being in a huge fight scene. I'd like to see something like this in the Zelda games XD

Nah, they're fine! I actually feel that they may be considered sacred for being like Nishi. Minami, the South Spirit, is based heavily on the Southern Swamp Deer. And Hokubu of the North is based heavily on the Dire Wolfos, all of which are endangered and ancient beasts. So, Nishi could very well have a connection to these guys if they make it into the series \o/

I would too tbh. Had a couple on-going battles in Monster Hunter 3, so it just inspired me to make a beast that is worthy of such a thing.Β 

I can just imagine the fight scenes that this thing could be in. I didn't think of them being sacred creatures, though highly known and feared. I would have thought they would be a high prize if they were to hunt it down. Its scales, fins and claws would make great armor. But this was before I knew about your Nishi, so whatever change you'd want to do with this guy is up to you. That is if he wins. xD

But it was fun making him.~
