Description
Name: Baronga

Gender: Male

Height: 45 meters

Weight: 15,000 tons

Personality: Baronga is a dimwitted brute and utterly single minded in combat. Once an enemy has aggrivated him enough in combat, he will relentlessly attack them. Even if the enemy retreats, Bargona will aggressively persue them for days. Despite this, he can learn from his mistakes rather quickly. Though Baronga is dumb, he rarely falls for the same trick twice.

Abilities:

-Impenetrable hide. Baronga's hide is very hard to damage, even by kaiju standards. His armored skin is thickest on his back, supplimented by rigid overlapping plates.

-Stag-like horns on head for goring enemies. Usually used when charging at enemies.

-Sickle-like claws. Both of Baronga's middle fingers possess sickle-like claws ideal for slashing.

-Baronga can burrow through the earth at a steady pace

-Arguably his most dangerous attack, Baronga can bite down on an enemy hard enough to remove entire limbs in a single chomp. This is achieved through the use of specialized jaw muscles and a bladed lower jaw. Once Baronga bites down on an enemy, it is very difficult to make him let go, and often results in the enemy losing a limb.

-Immense physical strength. Baronga is a brute, plain and simple. Even among other kaiju his strength is impressive, easily able to fight opponents bigger and heavier than him.

Weaknesses:

-As mentioned before, Baronga is on the lower end of intelligence and often relies on brute strength over cunning. His approach to combat is simple: Hit it until it dies.

-Due to his size and mass, Baronga is rather slow-moving and thus any kaiju that's more agile can run circles around him.

-Despite his intimidating sickle claws, Baronga's arms are rather short thus relegating them to super-close range.

-Despite his thick hide, Baronga's underbelly is softer than other parts of his body.

-Like a crocodile, the muscles that open Baronga's mouth are much weaker than the ones that close it to deliver his devastating bite. A cunning opponent can eliminate the threat of Baronga's bite by simply holding his mouth closed.

Backstory:
Baronga is a member of a previously-unknown species of kaiju. Many fossils of his kind have been discovered recently, and it is unknown if other living specimens are out there. This individual first appeared in the wilderness of Montana along with another monster, the Gargoyle-like Gargulas. Both creatures where awakened by a previously-undiscovered underground volcano that was causing major seismic activity in the area. For 3 days, Baronga and Gargulas would have brief skirmishes throughout the wilderness, usually at night when Gargulas was active.

On the final night of their 3 day long war, the underground volcano that awakened them had reached critical mass and was beginning to erupt. The forest around the two kaiju burned as lava spewed up from fissures that opened in the ground. Even as the earth around them bled and burned, the creatures continued to clash until finally, a sinkhole filled with molten lava swallowed both monsters. As the lava took them, they thrashed and clawed at each other still, enemies to the bitter end.

Though both monsters where presumably killed by the eruption, there are some who theorize that both Baronga and Gargulas are both still alive, having somehow survived the eruption.
