Here we have the worst kept secret in the fandom for quite some time, Shimo.

It all happened a year ago, I remember it like it was yesterday. Not long after the first teaser for New Empire dropped, revealing The Skar King, a lot of leaks began dropping on sites like Reddit. These leaks went into detail about a lot of things, but the one that hooked people was the existence of a fourth player in the battle. It was described as a white SpaceGodzilla looking creature with ice related powers, and naturally, people freaked out. When these leaked dropped, I raised an eyebrow; I was both intrigued and unsure at the same time. It all sounded too good to be true. But yet, as the year went on, there were more and more leaks, mostly about this mystery creature now going by "Shimu". It all came to an apex when at the end of the year, lots of merchandise confirmed that yes, Shimu, or Shimo as she was being called now, was more than real. I've actually had this entry drawn up for a good while now, but now that the movie's officially out in the US, I felt it was safe to put out. Bottom line, I like Shimo. While Skar King has most of my attention, I see potential with Shimo, and I'm interested to see how the fandom uses her in their lores.

When those initial leaks dropped, Shimo was described as looking like SpaceGodzilla, which got many people nervous, but as soon as the toy leaks dropped, the comparisons stopped. Like Skar King, I gave her a stylistic redesign, emphasizing a few details here and there like her back spikes and dragon-like segments. A touch I included are some extra spikes and rounded snout based on this one maquette that people liked but was revealed to be fake.
