Description Name: Calumna

Height: 32 Meters
Weight: 3,300 Tons

Powers:
-Capable of camouflaging to the point of being completely invisible; the only thing that cannot change color is the tongue.
-Prehensile tongue is capable of extending up to 50 meters in length. In addition, the tip has a second pair of jaws.
-Can fire thin, red laser beams from eyes. Due to the nature of the eyes, they function much like turrets, giving an absolutely massive radius of fire.

Weakness: While extremely flexible, Calumna is very slow in movements, usually having to take slow, yet large strides with his limbs. This particularly hurts him in battle when he is visible to a foe.

Biography:
Chris had defeated his first monster, and felt like he was king of the world. He was very cheerful in school, which surprised most of his classmates. They were used to a quiet and rather shy Chris. Of course, when questioned, Chris did not think before speaking, and when he told everyone why he was so happy, everyone thought of him as being crazy. Once again without thinking, Chris revealed his “ID” from CLAW, which proved that he was indeed the giant spider that had defeated a giant rat. Of course, upon seeing that, almost all of his classmates were disturbed and freaked out. They all left without another word... Except for one.

A girl had stayed behind. She had black hair and glasses, and didn’t seem to be the social type. She merely asked Chris what his name was and left. He wasn’t even able to get her name, which bothered him somewhat. He didn’t have much time to think it over though, because he received a call from HQ. He was to immediately go to the school’s principal’s office and await government officials to pick him up. Another Beast had shown up.

Once again, Therias, Giger, and Chris headed out to the area of the attack; Miami. Though the distance was farther, the aircraft easily got them there within the hour. During this time, Therias briefed Chris on what was going on. A large chameleon-like monster had appeared seemingly out of nowhere, and was attacking the city, feasting upon any humans that came across its path. Chris merely said that he wasn’t worried; he had “enough experience” to defeat this creature. Therias gave a look of concern to Giger, who merely shook his head.

Chris was dropped off and the super soldier ate the Energy Beast bar, transforming into Aranthos. Climbing up one of the nearby buildings, the spider searched for his opponent, and finally spotted him a few blocks away. Spreading his “wings”, Aranthos leapt off the building and glided overhead of the creature, gaining its attention. The spider touched down as the chameleon turned to face his opponent. Aranthos let out a chattering cry as the monster replied with a loud bellow. The arthropod charged forward.

Suddenly, the Beast disappeared! Aranthos stopped mid charge and looked around. The monster had literally vanished into thin air! The spider was unsure of what was going on, when he suddenly felt a horrible pain in his chest. He stumbled backwards, recoiling as if he had received a punch. But what hit him? What was going on? He suddenly felt himself getting picked up, and struggle as he may, he was unable to escape the grip of whatever was attacking him. The arachnid was launched into a nearby building, smashing into its foundation. Aranthos slowly rose to his feet when suddenly he saw a pink blur launch at him. It was too fast.

A sharp pain exploded throughout Aranthos’s body. He looked down to see a tongue-like appendage pierced into his chest. The spider instantly pulled the tongue out of him, only to release it in horror as its tip literally snapped at him. The tongue quickly recoiled back as green blood splattered onto the ground. Following the movement, the arachnid launched a stream of needles... Only to hit one of the nearby buildings. The debris crumbled down as Aranthos’s heart beat began to rise. How could he defeat something that he couldn’t even see? The human within began to panic, and he started firing his needles all around him, desperately trying to hit whatever was attacking him. His blind assault was cut off when two lasers seared into his exoskeleton, slicing up and down his body.

The spider stumbled backwards, and leapt into the air, flapping his legs to keep himself afloat. Aranthos flew over the area, trying to find his foe before he could be count- Without warning, the tongue had lashed out again and wrapped itself around one of the spider’s legs. Struggling to keep himself in the air, the arachnid fluttered desperately as the tongue began to reel him in. Suddenly, the tongue used immense strength and slammed the spider down to the ground, recoiling back to its source. Aranthos coughed and tried to stand up when suddenly he felt something slam into his back and pin him to the ground. His back eyes widened in horror as the source finally revealed himself.

Calumna launched his tongue out, wrapping it around one of the spider’s wing legs. Reach out with his arms, the chameleon began to pull, putting extreme strain on the limb. Aranthos howled in pain, and finally his body gave out. A sickening crack was heard, followed by a chilling tear as Calumna ripped the limb off of the arthropod’s body. Green blood began to pour from the spider’s wound, and Aranthos desperately struggled to stand, only for the Beast to slam his hand down onto the spider’s head. The chameleon began to pull in an attempt to tear the Beast-Man’s head off next...

However, both monsters failed to notice the arrival of a third Beast...

Trivia:
-Giger stated that the “tongue mouth” seemed awfully familiar, as if he had seen it a long time ago.
-I was debating on uploading an outline of this monster, or even a blank page not only to let people speculate and imagine what Calumna looked like, but also for the luls.

I love the 'turret laser eye' bit. Simple, but ingenious.

I'd hate to see him roll his eyes at me!

Nice, simple but awesome design. I love the tongue mouth, and the shape of the head.

I like. First chameleon I seen. Besides Barugon, but hes not really as much a chameleon as he is just a big ice lizard.

Pyatt In reply to AkityMH [2010-02-28 04:50:37 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I actually once turned Baurgon into a chameleon-like monster for some random fanfic or something. Was odd to say the least, haha.

Barugon was weird in general. Baragon, Barugon, its like the Gamera series was really tring to rip Toho off at first. not that I complained, great cheesey movies.

RenDragonClaw [2010-02-28 03:49:19 +0000 UTC]

Design wise it has a very Rampage like feel to it, simple yet effective. It's abilities certainly are quite in character and effective for such an unusual kaiju. Props to using a chameleon as the base for this critter. The laser eye turrets are really something else. Neat xenomorph reference with the tongue as well.

Ladies and gentleman, proof that a huge ego can lead to problems, even when your a giant monster.

While a little bland as far as monster designs go, he's still a mean green customer. I especially love the whole "turret-eyes" concept.

Pyatt In reply to Geckoroverse [2010-02-28 02:26:21 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. And yeah, one of the problems I faced was everything but his head and possibly tail was bland. I decided to keep him somewhat stereotypical looking in the end because he's invisible most of the time, so it doesn't matter that much, hahaha.
