Description Abilities:

-Molten Saliva: Several glands in Solenara's lower jaw contain a mix of toxins and chemicals that react when combined, most usually inside a bite victim's body. The chemical compound, though not completely deciphered, shows a staggering amount of heat-based reaction, which can cause searing, agonizing pain in those bitten. This has earned Solenara a truly devilish reputation.

-Pain Numbness: Perhaps due to its hot chemicals or perhaps years of abuse or mental instability, Solenara seems to not feel pain in combat. This makes it especially dangerous in combat, though with trickery one might make him injure himself without him realizing.

-Temperamental: Many claim that Atomoth's temper is only outmatched by Solenara's.

-Razor Edged: "Most of Solenara's ends are sharp, and everytime we dance I find one more end not to try to touch..." as Unum once said. This best describes physical contact with the mammalian menace.

-Burrower: Solenara can disappear underground in a matter of seconds, either to escape or to roost for the night.

-Mutagenic Blood: Discovered after the bral in Miami, Solenara's blood is highly mutagenic and when after several trials of watering down was responsible for projects such as Ichneumon and TEAM being Green-lit.

-Energy Ray: A trait only observed during its initial appearance, Solenara was shown loosing a beam of green energy from its mouth and trunk, often wildly and in all directions. It is believed the amount of atomic buildup has decreased as the beast has gained size, but chances of it being used again are not impossible.

Noted Weaknesses:

-Easy to Fool: Like Atomoth, Solenara's temper can get him into trouble, often falling right into traps and falling for the same traps multiple times.

-Fear of Deep Water: Perhaps the most unusual thing about the monster is its fear of water it can't see the bottom of. This was first observed after Zacromas' rather noteworthy battle with the creature where the amphibious guardian near drowned the creature. Ever since, it has avoided both the dinosaur croc and the edges of the island.

B.C.D.E.-CAUTION: Subject deemed Extremely Dangerous and is Only to be Approached with the Utmost Caution. Confirmed Man-Eater. Should subject somehow breach phobia and reach mainland, Extermination Level Crisis Response Allowed, as anything less will prove useless. Deployment of Unum required sans if occupied with larger threat.


Description: Solenara, the third monster to emerge to the world public uncensored. A truly savage creature that rules much of the center of Isla Monstruo with impunity, having carved a vast network of underground tunnels it takes up residence in. Guardians loathe confrontation with it, the typically quite placid Zacromas even nearly killing it at one point, and man despises the idea of being near it, as it has been known to eat people. People of the Americana, though most of their loathing goes to Giganuuk, have a special place of loathing for the beast, and it is frequently on the public enemy list.

Its origins are believed to be at the very least connected to Atomoth's. When the atomic insect first emerged in Cuba, Solenodons were near extinct, but it is believed one that had survived was mutated as Atomoth was, and emerged shortly thereafter. Unlike Atomoth, though, its path was a little less reckless. From underground, it followed the larger insect, swimming at a distance even until they reached the mainland, where it emerged in ambush and challenged the massive moth monster. When Vulcan emerged with its prototype Banshees, Solenara tried to charge the tiny machines, but was eventually knocked out cold.

When the Pentagon attempted to transport it, though, it awoke and escaped underground, carving massive tunnel complexes later occupied by STOMP's Terramiters and HELIX's Gulandius chimera into the Southeastern United States. All attempts to uproot it were met with failure, an entire TEAM squad losing their lives to it, until the incident that led to the creation of Hypermis where a TEAM member was further mutated into a musclebound monster and overpowered the now smaller monster. Knocked out, it was transported to the kaiju containment facility in the Pacific, but it would frequently break out and attack again and again, earning it a gruesome reputation. Unum managed to wrangle it eventually, but nearly lost his life in the process, and he was carted to the facility successfully, but even then he was a problem. Giganuuk's Whiteout caused most of the kaiju under Vulcan's supervision to be freed, and almost all of them collectively fled southward to Isla Monstruo, but as expected it was not a permanent stay.

Eventually, though, the dam burst in the form of appointed Wild Warden, Archosaur/Acrocanthosaur chimera Zacromas, who relentlessly hounded the mammalian menace. In one battle near the Caribbean, Zacromas dragged it underwater and nearly drowned itself and Solenara with it, and after that something changed in him, that was the first time he had experienced fear since his mutation, and ever since the reptilian guardian and deep water have scared the creature into paralysis.

As such, Isla Monstruo is very much its home now, and its intent on staying there. A bit of a bully, he has challenged each and every one of the residents there more than once, and as far as the Americana is concerned, better them than us.

Remember Solenops? Meet Solenara, Solenops 2.0. I loved the old Solenops design, don't get me wrong, but it was a tad GAS-y in retrospect, especially for Dark Hours, and I had other monster designs I wanted to incorporate, namely an old design based on a Vagrant Shrew and some of my contest entry for Jake, Molkovitch. Together they form a design that looks roughly like a lizard tailed were-mammoth, and all frankness the world needs more of that. I really loved cranking the drawing out, it was a lot of fun to color.

The bios are a bit short in the making but they get the job done, I suppose. Enjoy and share thoughts, please. Crim out.

You know, I really like this guy, and I kind of feel sorry for him.

Huh, wasn't expecting him to be sympathetic, but that's definitely a good thing that he is.

Thankya

AH! KILLER MAN EATING ELEPHANT SHREW! RUN! RUN WHILE YOU CAN!

kaiju shrews are scary man. Just because of their existence... what a monster, what a beast. this thing would probably eat a town for breakfast and a major city for lunch... at least most of it.

They are scary indeed. Granted this guy's a solenodon with traits and the personality of a shrew and moles, but all things considered he does resemble an elephant shrew.
