Description
Lost Monster #2: Shockirus

Length: less than 3 meters

Faction: ROGUE

Abilities:

-Voracious appetite and a tendency to swarm

-Bodies are heavily irradiated

-Can survive in all known biomes

From the Notes of Eric Goldwin:

The world's monsters are not only angry giants with a places to go. I mean, I’m no fancy scientist or anything, but the little ones are scarier to me than the big ones. Like that bug back in '84 that killed all the people on the boat I was on. I killed it when it was distracted, but had that reporter not showed up I'd have kicked the bucket too. I’m retired now, but man, I will never forget that.

G-Cell mutation is a vast field that isn't as simple as it seems at first glance. Though many distinguished scientists have studied the subject of radiation mutation for the better part of a century, concrete answers to the issue have been surprisingly scarce. The effects are usually small, a great case being the Chernobyl earthworm Dr. Tatoupolis researched in his early years, but some cases can be excessively grotesque. And there is no better an image for this point than the Shockirus.

It is now an established that the larger an organism is, the more unstable a mutation usually is. Thus many smaller creatures, like insects, mutate rather easily in the proper conditions. And thus, the GDF came to know the Shockirus. Gojinsecta Skokira, though considered a solid species, is actually made up of any breed of arthropod, from aphids to zebraflies, less than 3 meters long that exhibits traits of G-Cell exposure, such as a scaly texture to the carapace, small spines, and exponentially increased aggression. They are dangerous, they are cannibalistic, and they a constant factor present in GDF post G sighting cleanups. Many a GDF soldier has tangled with the Shokirans crawling from wreckage just days after Godzilla passed through, in fact, sightings date back to the Frankenstein incident in 1954. Though the most famous case was in 1984 when Godzilla reemerged on the warpath, when a sea louse variety of Shockirus desiccated the crew of a fishing boat. Though almost any of the monsters to emerge are bigger and stronger, few can compare to the Shockirus in terms of sheer numbers.

noteAnd here we are with king of the overlooked, the monster of at least 5 name variations, the Shockirus. Now, in the Go G take on the world, there are many cases where logic will look into plot holes, the Shockirans being one of the big ones. Only one has appeared, and it was because of Godzilla's radiation. Now, since Godzilla's cells are so flippin' mutagenic, how come little mutated creatures of pestilence aren't crawling all over the place? The answer to that is this entry, the creature above is a cockroach variety, but just about any bug less than 10 feet long can be described as a Shockirus. Plus, in literature for the verse, it gives us some monsters that individual humans can be scared of, which is a must in a big story. All right, now to show off the other end of the G-cell mutation train.
