Description:
In 2007, a thick blanket of fog rolled in over the city of Aberdeen, Scotland. Many assumed that this fog was simply the dreary weather that the United Kingdom was famous for, but for a select few, there was feeling of overwhelming dread that struck at the core of their minds. These individuals fled before one of the most terrifying Kaiju in Europe, Occultus Atrox, the “Hidden Horror” began gorging itself on the human population. Also known as “Chronos”, named for the titan of legend, this monstrous being slinked through Scotland without being seen for weeks on end, finally being stopped in Glasgow by British Royal Marines and the Atholl Highlanders, Europe’s only legal private army.

Appearance.
“Chronos” stood 190 feet tall, it had a serpentine body supported by two muscular elongated rear-legs and a group of thin tentacle appendages on its underbelly. Measuring 350 feet long, its body ended in a long reptilian tail that raised into a shark-like fin at the tip. This feature has lead some to assume that this creature came from the sea.
“Chronos” was almost believed to be completely blind, because its eyes had seemingly denigrated into two nearly sightless tiny milky white spheres. It was thought that it saw using echolocation like bats, but its most curious ability actually accounts for how it hunted. On the sides of its body, Chronos possessed 6 small tubes that exuded a thick foggy mist that allowed it to remain hidden from view. It was in this fog that Chronos was able to see perfectly. It seems that sunlight actually scalded the animals eyes, which is why it had developed a special coating secreted from glands behind its sinuses, turning the eyes white, shielding them from the sun.
In the low light of the fog, its eyes were safe from light exposure.

Death:
Chronos’ death was a result of the combined efforts of the Atholl Highlanders and the British Royal Marines. When it had reached Glasgow, the Highlanders and Marines had brought in searchlights to help them see the animal in its fog. A well timed search light hit the creature in its eye, causing it to convulse violently about the city causing millions in damage. Chronos eventually struck its head against a building, knocking it to the ground exposing it to the full brunt of British and Scottish artillery. In total, 182 rounds fired from 100 and 105mm cannons peppered Chronos abdomen rupturing several of its organs. The creature died minutes after the barrage began, however the Scottish and British military continued lobbing shells into its body, ensuring that it would not get up.

Dissection and Disposable:
Chronos’ internal organs were found to be incredibly primitive, resembling an amphibian’s. The six hollow fog emitting tubes were found to function like nothing else on Earth. Even after the creature died, its fog emitting tubes maintained a temperature of 5-degrees Fahrenheit and retained a large amount of water vapor.
After biologists had taken the animal completely apart, the United Kingdom decided to dump the corpse into the ocean where it still rots today.
