Description
Name: SpinnYeggehrFactions: Rogue
Alignment: True Neutral
Kaiju Rank: Rank 3
Stats:
Height: 30 meters
Length: 75 meters
Weight: 10,000 tons
Powers:
Laser Vision: SpinnYeggehr's eyes are able to fire piercing beams of energy that can be controlled with great precision.
Genetic Modification: Due to its special genetic code, SpinnYeggehr has the power to change the shape of its body at will, allowing it to accomplish different tasks as it needs to.
Hibernation: Evidence suggests that SpinnYeggehr can hibernate for centuries, or even millennia.
Weaknesses:
Electricity: Mild electrical blasts can stun SpinnYeggehr's cells, preventing it from shape-shifting. Enough electricity will also incapacitate SpinnYeggehr.
Personality: From all reports, SpinnYeggehr is near-mindless. Neither good nor evil, it seems to have little to no agenda of its own. Due to its simple-mindedness, other kaiju have been known to manipulate SpinnYeggehr to serve their own ends, and it has been both ally and enemy.
History: Following the Arctic discovery of Hyperborea, archeologists became obsessed with the idea of discovering lost civilizations, and old myths gained new credibility. One lucky team soon discovered a small settlement submerged in the Atlantic, an Atlantean outpost. One large building stood out from the rest. Inscribed on its front, barely legible from centuries underwater, was a Hyperborean-like script. The inscription read: For SpinnYeggehr, The Builder.
Upon exploring the massive chambers inside, the researchers disturbed a partially-buried mass which revealed itself to be the dormant kaiju SpinnYeggehr. Only 3 of the researchers escaped alive. Murals and sculptures found in the following years suggest that SpinnYeggehr was just one of a race of workers, engineered primarily to cut and move stones, and complete any other tasks that were needed of them. It is believed that SpinnYeggehr is the last of its kind. Also of note is that, while generally mindless, SpinnYeggehr seems to actively avoid Hyperborean guardian Tamotahn.

And Jager's done too! MUCH bigger change to him than with Surudago; once I came up with the concept I loved it. So, this version of Jager is much less powered (being part of a species), and is more of a minion for others. His backstory, for those acquainted with Lovecraft, was inspired by the Shoggoth:[link] With 'Lovecraftian' in mind, I made Jager much more tentacle-y. Since this Jager's not created by torpals, I changed the helmet design, and since he didn't look like a spider anymore, I changed the origin of his name. I feel like I had more to say, but that's all I can think of. As with Surudago, I hope it's a good entry into the All-Stars!

Very nice and Lovecraftian, I like.
Also, since I have the "Cthulhu cult of KAS" do you mind if I use more of SpinnYeggehr's race?

Oh, this is great! It makes an excellent new facet of the 'verse thus far. Something tells me Sheymir would go nuts over finding this guy.

Another great entry! I really like the modified design on this one, and the backstory is, as others have already pointed out, pretty much perfect. I especially like how he still looks like he'd be a part of the same universe as Surudago, even though they've both been redesigned and Suru's changes weren't nearly as radical.

Oh, this is all kinds of awesome, Jessy! I love the new body and helmet shape, and you fit him perfectly into the KAS history, too! Great entry, in my opinion.

Eeeheeheheee! Holy crap, I love this! You managed to fit him into the mythos so well! The connection between the Atlanteans and Hyperboreans (complete with structuring the inscription that names SpinnYeggehr similar to the one that named Tamotahn) is inspired, and I'm a sucker for Lovecraft homages.
I'm hoping Spinny here isn't the last of his kind - and maybe that there'll be a Cthulhu to his shoggoth down the road.

haha thank you, I'm so glad you like it! As far as the connection goes, I figured Hyperborea, Mu, Lemuria, and Atlantis were all connected to begin with (but I wasn't sure how much so you had intended), so I thought I'd just sow the seeds, a little bit...I figured, maybe, they'd all share certain cultural traits or technology or something. Which is why I added the Tamotahn-like inscription in the same language. And I figured he could avoid Tamotahn, due to some shared history, and that was something we could elaborate on later...
And yeah, I figured a few more of them can always show up later, as plot dictates (since that's kinda what's going to happen in my 'verse anyway)...
and Cthulhu? well, I can't wait!
