Original Monster Submissions / Tsiwi, the Angry Oilbird
« on: February 03, 2016, 10:08:32 pm »
Bio: About 2.5 million years ago, an old kiwi bird in the wilderness of New Zealand, decided to have a drink. Little did he know, the water was toxic, and not far off he keeled over and died. There was a mighty rainstorm a few hours after and thus the water from the pond swelled and overtook the bird. When the water subsided, the corpse was swept down into the pond and sank to the bottom. If the pond was toxic above, it was radioactive down in its depths. Over the years, the body did not rot, due to the radiation killing all life forms, the body began to change. The radiation stimulated growth, fluids to move, and eventually, the heart to pump blood into the brain, but it wasn't exactly blood in the organic sense we know. As he grew, instead of pushing the nearby rocks away, he absorbed them, fusing with his new hard-as-steel feathers. This took thousands of years, but he still had another few hundred thousand to go. With his growth came some consequences, some good, some not so much. One, his brain grew with him, not just in proportion to his body size, but his intelligence grew with it. Two, his reproductive organs had not grown with him and thus were absorbed and destroyed by the radioactivity. The radioactivity of the water and ground around him had long since been absorbed by his new growing body, and life had begun to flourish above where he rested. A good long time has passed, and the life above him began to decompose and turn into oil, which his still-growing body took in ravenously, and the oil seeped down all around it. At this point, the bird was not so much dead, as was just sleeping in a radioactive, boiling hot comfort. It slept for a while, until something awoke it; his bed of comfort was being compromised! In fact, his bed was nearly gone! Having just awoken, it was quick to anger. It burrowed out of its nest, exploding out into the ocean with a spray of crude oil. There was a large metal beast sucking away at his warmth like a parasite. It quickly dealt with it. But, off to the side, there were small dots of color with what seemed to be...bugs on it? They were moving away from the parasite, so it concluded it had something to do with this. Instincts from long ago flared up, and it scooped up the bugs and swallowed them whole. Satisfied here, it made its way to land. When it was close to shore, he smelled something, something very familiar: oil. This land was teeming with it! But it was being burned! Angered once again, Tsiwi (as it was dubbed by the bugs that dwelt below its feet), without a soul but alive nonetheless, ravaged the land.
Abilities: Tsiwi's main attack are it's legs, which it uses to kick, scratch, and grapple. The secondary weapon are the massive rocks embedded into it's flesh. This is helpful for charge attacks.
Extra: Crude oil is always dripping
I just think this guy would be cool to add to your roster
As for size, I don't really know how to respond to that.
