Description
Well, it certainly has been a while, now hasn't it? That's largely my fault, though I can also pin the blame on a couple of other people . . . namely my Publication Designs teacher who doesn't seem to understand the concept of actually teaching her class properly and assigning homework at a decent rate. I could honestly go on and on about why I hate my college teachers - some of them, at least - but I won't bore you with that.

Instead, I'd like to propose a toast to a watcher and a fast friend of mine. In honor of 's birthday (albeit belated. Once again, I blame myself), I give you his latest creation!

Onto the facts!

Name: Baidude

Species: Milligant

Homeworld: Anur Milligan

Powers/abilities: Baidude has enhanced strength and is capable of lifting objects as heavy as a small car.

Baidude has sharp claws.

Milligants have an incredible bite force and can bite clean through steel.

Milligants have enhanced underwater vision and can hold his breath for a significant amount of time, about two hours at maximum by absorbing small amounts of oxygen through the mane of moss growing out of his back. Because of this, he is also an agile swimmer in the water.

The plants growing on Baidude's back can act like camouflage in certain environments.

Baidude's most notable ability is that of láspikinesis, or mud manipulation. By reaching into the moss growing on his back, he can throw out globs of a sticky mud-like substance to blind opponents or cause them to slip. Baidude can also split out a massive wad of mud and mucus from his mouth in order to trap enemies as well.

Like all inhabitants of the Anur System, Milligants are immune to the effects of Corrodium.

Weaknesses: Baidude can't effectively use his láspikinesis effectively against opponents that can generate intense amount of heat or cold, such as Pyronites or Necrofriggians.

Milligants aren't as strong as other alien species, such as Tetramands.

A Milligants bite force is significantly weaker than that of a Piscciss Volann and thus they are incapable of biting through certain objects. They also can't open their jaws as wide or fit as large or many objects inside.

Though Baidude is able to walk on land, he's not nearly as able-bodied as he is underwater.

Despite being most aquatic and capable of holding their breath for prolonged periods of time, Milligants still require air. Likewise, they must stay hydrated otherwise they, the moss on their backs, and the mud-like substance that they produce will dry out.

Etymology: Baidude's name is a portmanteau of the words "bayou" - another term for a swamp or bog - and "dude".

Trivia: The species' name comes from their home planet, Milligan.

The species' home world is an anagram of "Gill-man", a famous movie monster otherwise known as the Creature from the Black Lagoon from the movie of the same name. Like the other inhabitants of the Anur System, this references their appearance towards famous movie monsters.

Baidude shares similarities to Grass-type Pokemon, namely a symbiotic relationship with plants that grow from their bodies.

Baidude has a Dimension 23 counterpart named Mudgator.

Milligants aren't born with the moss that grows from their backs. Upon hatching, young Milligants will quickly roll around in the mud of the fog-cloaked swamps that cover a vast majority of their home world, encouraging the growth of an extraterrestrial species of algae in clumps soil located under their scales. As they age, the moss grows to become a thick cape whose roots embed themselves into their circulatory and respiratory systems, providing them with extra oxygen as a trade off for being carried to sunny patches of swamp for photosynthesis. Furthermore, the algae produces a nutrient-rich slime similar to mud that is vital to the development of young Milligants, as well as a defense mechanism for when they become older.

While ferocious predators in their own right, Milligants love nothing more than honing their combat skills by having a mudball fight with one another.

Mud is a central part of Milligant culture. In fact, it's their primary building material and they readily use it to make small hunts similar to those made of adobe brick. Like Earth termites, by mixing in their saliva in with the mud, it quickly hardens into a rock solid substance stronger than concrete.
