Judatitan, the Towering Hammer

Judatitan, the Towering Hammer
Eden02 was different from Eden01 in several regards other than location. For one it was better staffed and two, the type of projects they worked on were more varied and so the issue of ‘too many carnivores lurking in the halls’ wasn’t as much a problem there as it obviously became for Eden01. This was mostly because Father Fang saw the use of having a strong support group of mutations to balance out the more brutally lethal varieties. Invictathrone was a good start but ultimately more like him were needed to ensure some state of normalcy around the facility. Sauropods were one of the earlier success stories.

Dealing with sauropods was much easier than dealing with the carnivores as most of the facility expected. Despite their huge size and tendency to panic, at least the staff didn’t have to worry about being eaten. Instead they had to worry about getting trampled or in more severe cases, intentionally crushed. Their large size also made them difficult to retrieve from the Savage Chasm and feed once they were housed within the facility. Luckily a station was built over the entrance to the chasm and thus several specimens were hauled with a minimum of effort. The feeding problem was soon fixed when, after studying their eating habits in their natural environment, several specimens of foliage and trees were added to the sanctuary where they were kept and further mutated with the kaiju growth hormone. The results were astounding as the plants grew to unparalleled heights in little over a month and regenerated in mere seconds after a single mouthful from the titanic herbivores. Once they had gotten settled and used to people, the handlers proceeded to take approved gene samples from the various species collected both from the chasm and sanctuary. Eventually an acceptable hatchling was born that combined several different species together to make a tranquil but powerful whole.

Judatitan, as he came to be called, was perhaps the best behaved and loving of the facilities subjects. He bonded with his handlers and was only destructive when scared, usually by the scent of one of the carnivores like Cherubix who if it weren’t for his human level intellect would be locked up well away from where he could leer at the then infant sauropod. Luckily for Judatitan, he grew quickly; and he grew large. It was only a matter a couple months that Judatitan began to eclipse the other sauropods in size and it was only a couple more before he seemed to break all known records and became the largest of the Heavenly Fang’s kaiju. Towering over his peers at a height of 150m tall, Judatitan was quite literally the tallest kaiju in existence. What puzzled the staff was despite the obvious properties of the growth hormone, how could he have grown so large and be capable of average sauropod speeds and feasibly still be able to survive? The answer came during his first field test. Faced with irritating gunfire that completely surrounded him, Judatitan revealed an ability to control the earth itself and to a smaller extent, gravity. Apparently Judatitan hadn’t been holding himself up so much as pushing the Earth down…an absurdity that became fact after Judatitan had demolished all of the gun turrets by uprooting them and with a nonchalant flick of his head, sent them hurtling across the training grounds; all of which without moving his body.

As the challenges grew more intense, so did Judatitan’s repertoire of techniques. Those that actually managed to get close found themselves unceremoniously crushed. Attacks from behind or the side? Judatitan’s armored thagomizer sent them sailing into the manufactured mountain sides. Everything from armored tanks to prototype attack raptors were found buried alive, gored by hails of giant stalagmites, and flattened like a pancake under massive boulders ripped from the landscape and geokinetically flicked at them like missiles. On top of his immeasurable strength and size, as well as his ability to warp the very soil beneath their feet, Judatitan’s own body was much like a fortress. Like his ancestors, the behemoth sauropod took to consuming boulders and rocks to aid in his digestion. Unlike his ancestors, his body absorbed the rocks as well as the tree foliage that thankfully was tall enough for him to consume comfortably. His skin began to manifest these mineral deposits in the form of natural armor and that made finding a challenge for him all that more difficult. Father Fang bemused the situation with interest. The sauropod was powerful but had never really cut loose as barely anything threatened him. So it was that Father Fang arranged a sparring match between Invictathrone and Judatitan to test the towering herbivore. Given the mission statement of simply subduing the mountain of flesh, rock like armor and extremely dense bone, Invictathrone immediately closed with the sauropod. Taken aback by the armored ceratopsian’s charge, Judatitan shoved him away with a single foot and bellowed his own challenge. It truly became a battle of the titans as even though Invictathrone only came up to Judatitan’s chest, his own biomechanical muscle allowed him to square off with the much larger kaiju while barely giving more than a few dozen feet of breathing space. The two slammed into each other for more than an hour as Invictathrone’s horn gauged lacerations into Judatitan’s hide and Judatitan’s incredible bulk and power actually dented the Victorium armor of Invictathrone. When Judatitan tried to rear up and utterly smash the cyboric ceratopsian, he found his belly burning with a full volley of Invictathrone’s plasma cannon fire and was forced to fall back to avoid toppling himself. That actually managed to thoroughly aggravate the sauropod and with that the entire arena became a whirling storm of rock and dirt as boulders the size of barns came flying at Invictathrone. Invictathrone replied with a storm of his own as the scattered scraps and test droids reduced said boulders to pebbles as they tore through them. Refusing to back down to this shiny horned menace, Judatitan reared back again and slammed the ground with earth shattering force. The result was a seismic shock that rolled the ground like a tidal wave. Invictathrone was hurled backwards and buried under a mountain of dirt. Initially weary of the seemingly comatose and partially buried ceratopsian, Judatitan gradually plodded over to look over the beast. The dirt mound shifted as Invictathrone used his body’s own magnetism to gradually pull himself out of the pile. Now that they were both bruised and battered, Father Fang called the test to a close and Invictathrone gave a respectful nod to the looming behemoth before heading to the armory for more suitable materials to repair himself with. Ever since the two had become a powerful pair, Invictathrone providing defense and surgical strikes and Judatitan utterly overwhelming the opposition with sheer brute force and changing the landscape to their advantage. With the addition of Seraphodon, the first major strike force of the Heavenly Fang had been assembled. It looked like the time to recover the runaway subjects was close as hand and Father Fang couldn’t help but grin as he gave the order to set the deadly trio out on their first mission:

Mission Name: Operation Broken Cradle

Objective: Retrieve possible adolescent kaiju from fugitive subjects 536 and 537

Secondary Objective: Possible capture/destruction of fugitive subjects 536 and 537

Operatives:
-Invictathrone. AKA, Unconquered Shield. Role: Infantry and close combat
-Judatitan. AKA, Towering Hammer. Role: Close combat support and environmental management
-Seraphodon. AKA, Wind Shear. Role: Long rang support and target retrieval.

Mission Analysis: Operatives are to land 10 miles from target. Unconquered Shield and Towering Hammer will head directly into the target’s territory while Wind Shear circles around the back. Once Unconquered Shield and Towering Hammer are fully engaged, Wind Shear is to subdue, apprehend, and capture the target’s offspring should there be any and head directly for the extraction point. Once Wind Shear has acquired the subjects, Unconquered Shield and Towering Hammer are to neutralize the targets if possible and withdraw.

Mission Success Rate: 76% with .002% chance of error.


Mission Status: Go.

Oooooh, the plot thickens . Judatitan was one of my more difficult creations. Not as difficult as Invictathrone but close. I haven't see many sauropod kaiju, which is a shame because what better way to illustrate insane size than with something that was already built for it to begin with eh? His powers are elemental based, so yeah he gets the 'earth bending'. This guy is officially my 'tall kaiju' there won't be anyone taller than him and half of his height is neck so he's like King Ghidorah in that regard. His name comes from the name 'Judah' and 'titan' smacked together as with keeping the relegious theme that Heavenly Fang kaiju have. Why that name in particular? One he's freaking huge, two Judah is basically a place. Place/location/area/land = earth. So I guess you could say his name translates roughly into 'Holy Land Titan'....god that is some lame .

So yeah, he eats rocks, absorbs rocks, and fights with rocks while being so damn big he could just stomp you or tail whip you, or god forbid stampede over you. He's one of the more compassionate Heavenly Fang Kaiju so he doesn't fight for the sake of combat but more for the love of those that raised him and the necessity to follow orders, even if he doesn't really like it. Grounds for a conflict of faith? We'll see. Oh, and god bless genetically altered super trees .
