I was just reminded that Chalicotheres were something that existed. They're absolutely wild.

They're odd-toed ungulates (horses, rhinos, etc.) that had somehow managed to evolve into knuckle-walkers, which is a process that I'm not able to simulate mentally and have absolutely no clue how an ungulate was able to do that. I saw another post that referred to them as gorilla horses, which is also very apt.

Appearance: Equimate stands on four short muscular legs, with two arms of a significantly longer length, not unlike a gorilla. Each hand has three fingers, tipped with sharp claws. Equimate’s face also resembles another animals, that of a horse. It shares roughly the same shape, but isn’t as(proportionally) long. The fur covering his body is mostly light brown, with a darker stripe going from his head to back end.

Age of Origin: Awakened Ancient

Height: 100 Meters

Abilities-Equimates front limbs give him a much longer reach than many other kaiju, which he can combine with his unique set of claws. These claws are deceptively sharp, and combined with his reach make for excellent keep away.

Weakness: Equimate’s long limbs can be just as much of a hindrance, as once within his reach it’s difficult for him to get a solid hit on you. However, this range is also where you are susceptible to a bone crushing squeeze by his powerful arms.

Backstory: Another of many awakened kaiju, Equimate is a massive herbivore that has made it’s home in North America. He has a calm disposition, happy to ignore anything not in his way. This does not mean he’s a benevolent kaiju, as “in his way” is difficult to determine. Any perceived obstacle is quickly and brutally demolished, be it a living thing or not. He leaves destruction is his wake, with even other kaiju failing to stop him.

How He Interacts with Other Kaiju: Any potential relationship Equimate could have with other kaiju is destroyed by the fact that just does not want one. Despite being the last of his kind, he doesn’t show any kind of loneliness. Other kaiju typically fall in the “in his way” category.
