Description:
There are things in the world that should not exist, the land around us gets more dangerous every day, We sleep among monsters and demons.
I got a call from headquarters, they said something about 4 tourists missing near Louisiana. Got a few of my buddies to check it out while I oversee the process, fieldwork in the swamps was never my favorite.
We stumbled upon a ruined campsite. Tents ripped, fireplace scattered, and food trays all open. What caught our attention were large gash marks and water reeds amongst the wreckage. We know certain creatures ambushed the waters but never have water plants been so scattered. Our assumption immediately thought of a rouge Spinonyx or Purrolyth.
One of the guys noticed something while the rest of us were brainstorming, a movement from the waters, we thought we saw logs move. It was subtle but we caught it just in time. Something was mimicking the appearance of a tree, or at least tried. Suddenly a large silhouette attempted to burst from the water, a maw of plants and teeth darted towards one of the field scouts. He stepped back just in the nick of time. But it didn't give up, it crawled out of the water, a large, almost spinosaur-like form, it had spikes along it's head and back, the beast was covered with reeds and plants. This was the day we met Bunyip.
Crafty and patient, this creature is a force to be reckoned with. A whopping 20 meters long, Gigapaludem of the swamps are apex predators, large enough to give grypolyth and spinoconstrictor a fight. Due to their size, Gigapaludem adults can only breach land while walking on four legs, only then will they scavenge and move to other watering holes. The backs of this species are covered with long spines which resemble tree branches, they then intentionally entangle themselves in vegetation to mask their form, hiding amongst the fallen debris of the surface.
Rare due to their immense size needing large amounts of food, Gigapaludem are assumed to be less dangerous than other more common megapredators. Our specimen was ascertained quickly to a nearby location, the same one where Tarbosuchus was located.
