Description Ok, we got a new critter here. His name is Destrilisk. He is supposed to be a mutated basilisk lizard. I decided to use that animal for a reference, as well as taking some ideas from GodzillaSamurai's version of ZILLA, cause I think it would've made a cool monster.

In my kaijuverse, I describe Destrilisk as my version of ZILLA in a sense. He can be killed by heavy duty weapons like bunker bombs, but can handle guns and missiles. No real stats, for this time being, but I do know he will have this unique ability to run on the surface of water. It's feet generates a form of the Kaiju Lift Wave, a form of energy I made up for my flying kaiju, allowing it to run across the water for a limited time. Still don't know if I add a projectile or energy based weapons though. Maybe give it a ability where it either spews up a form of explosive gas or generate a optic blast (based off the two abilities the mythological Basilisk supposely had).

As for the artwork, I might do another drawing. I made Destrilisk a bit too thin, and his arms are bit long. I might also make the frills/sails a bit bigger.

By the way, there will be two versions, a male & female. Also, it walks primairly on four legs.

Cool, Jake!

I can see this guy as more of a "raptor" type kaiju, but still much larger in size than those, of course.

Thanks

Actually, Destrilisk is more of my swift style of kaiju. Essential, he's my raptor/Zilla style creature with a little Gyaos mixed in (not able to asexually produce, but it be a species monster). Gotta do a slightly better design though, the arms are a bit too long.

I love how you\'ve approached its ability to walk on water, normally it is something that might come off as corny and unrealistic, but this way is really effective and simple.

If I may make a minor suggestive, what do you say to making the Destrilisk an entire species? Your universes version of Gyaos, sorta\' speak.

I actually got the idea about Destrilisk walking on water (via energy) from Naruto, plus knowing that the real bastilisk lizard does run on water.

As for the Gyaos thing, I might end up doing that. As I said, I am making a female version, so there will probably be offsprings. Still, the monster itself isn\'t evil, just misunderstood.

I like this concept...I don;t think you should shorten the arms or fatten the design too much hes unique this way.

Thanks

I\'m not going to fatten him up that badly. Just thought i could make him a bit thicker.

Very nice design, i love the fins. I really like your ideas of explosive gas and walking on water.

It's another interesting concept, but I'd even pull back the reptilian concepts and make him more amphibian/ape like. I like his fin!

When I first read this message, I was like, "why would Matt want me to remove all the reptilian parts of this monster, considering it is a kaiju based off a real lizard."

Then, I noticed that you meant to incorporate parts of a amphibian or ape into the design. Am I right or did you mean what I thought you meant?

I doubt I change the overall design though, Matt. Yeah, it's a saurian kaiju, but since it is based off the real-life lizard, why make it that weird?

Oooh, nice! Very nice-I like the long, spindly arms, and the creasts on his head and back. As HyperGojira said, he really does look like a Basilisk lizard kaiju-fied. I love the running on water power-I keep imagineing this thing sprinting towards ships over the ocean.

There might be a scene in the story idea for this guy including that scenerio.

I am still going to do some tweaking, but compare to some other designs I've done, he probably be the least overdone monster I've done.

Nailed it the first thing i thought when I saw this was that it was a basilisk based kaiju. I had two as pets once and you captured there kaiju essence.

JacobSpencerKaiju79 In reply to hypergojira [2008-05-25 22:14:17 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. As I said, I probably improve on the design. No major changes, except shorter arms and slightly bulkier body.

hypergojira In reply to JacobSpencerKaiju79 [2008-05-26 00:23:25 +0000 UTC]

Actually I like the long arms and sleek body - it sets it apart from your typical kaiju, and it reminds me of Bud and Betsy Basilisk (my pets back in the day - yes I was into aliteration).

JacobSpencerKaiju79 In reply to hypergojira [2008-05-26 00:30:46 +0000 UTC]

I am still going to keep them long, and body will still be sleek. I just felt that the arms are a bit too long, especially since it runs on fours most of the time.

Well, I don't wanna say "redesign". It be the same basic concept, but drawn a bit differently.
