#kaimera

Name: Biggie Sneeze

Animals involved in the hybridization: Homo sapien and an unknown kaiju descendant of ancient hagfish that utilized sound to navigate

Sex: male

Height: 300 feet

Appearance: Biggie Sneeze is a mix of both human and hagfish. His long serpentine body is able to traverse both land and water effectively. His six arms are derived from the feelers on the face of a hagfish, and each end in four opposable digits. Inside each of his large forearms are powerful sound producing organs that lead to speaker-like structures in the center of each hand. Biggie Sneeze’s head anatomy is completely different from the heads of conventional vertebrates. The hagfish descended kaiju who’s cells he hybridized with evolved a structure with no actual jaws or eyes. Instead, the cranium is hinged, with the front half effectively acting as “backwards jaws” with an enormously long tongue. On the bottom of his cranium are two half circle shaped arches with large serrated teeth on them. The single nostril doubles as a slime canon. Biggie Sneeze has a long neck with many jointed gill arches. The space between each gill arch is open, and the inside of his throat can be seen, which contains several rows of backwards facing teeth.

Biggie Sneeze also has a highly developed lateral line system, as well as rows of small photoreceptors along his back. Sensory input is processed by a heavy metal-infused nervous system. He also has bioluminescent patches along his sides that look (and function) like music bars.

Abilities:

Sonic Blast- Using the complex sound producing organs in his arms, Biggie Sneeze can produce a wide variety of sounds and can even concentrate it into a blast of sound that can disorient other kaiju.

Sonic Rumble- Biggie Sneeze is capable of emitting low frequency sound waves the can make kaiju feel incredibly sick, and can sometimes even cause major organ damage.

Sneeze Slime- Being mostly a creature of the Myxini class, he can produce excessive amounts of slime across various points on his body. Unlike hagfish, however, is his ability to create two types of slimes. Biggie can create the standard hagfish slime, but he’s also capable of creating a tougher slime that can be used as stretchy ropes or sheets.

Slime Cannon- Biggie’s single large nostril can shoot a wad of slime with considerable force.

Dance Fight- Biggie Sneeze can essentially play music from his sound producing organs, and he often does this to set a certain “tempo” over the course of battle. He’ll fight to the beat of the music and his body will synchronize with the song. This allows Biggie to pace himself and even dictate the flow of battle.

Sharp Reflexes- Biggie’s lateral line system and fast partially metallic nervous system allows him to react extremely quickly. His reaction speed is faster than most other kaiju.

Weaknesses:

Dehydration- As an amphibious creature that secretes copious amounts of slime, Biggie Sneeze is prone to dehydration.

Taken by Surprise- Biggie often fights best when he’s in control of the battle, so when an opponent is too random or tries to control the flow of battle and manages to sway it in their favor, things get out of hand for Biggie.

Behavior:

Before his kaijufication, Biggie Sneeze was previously a popular human musical artist. He still retains his memories and personality as well as his love for music. He helps out cities in the aftermath of kaiju attacks and sometimes even puts on performances for crowds of people and his fans. He tries his best to keep up with what’s going on in the world and frequently shows up for human rights and LGBTQ+ protest. As a kaiju, his human rights are under scrutiny, but many people support him and have demanded that the government gives him devices that he has requested so he can keep making music for people.

Origin:

Biggie Sneeze was once a popular EDM artist and DJ who loved interacting with fans and donating money to human rights organizations. His popularity allowed him to go on tour around the country, but his tour bus was attacked by a kaiju related to a hagfish that had emerged from a collapsing cave system. There were no survivors and Biggie’s body went missing. All across the world his fans mourned.

A week later the same kaiju that attacked Biggie’s tour bus showed up and started attacking a nearby city, with a second kaiju not far behind. The second kaiju actually attacked the first one and managed to fend it off, and even kept some buildings from falling over with its slime. Military moved in to drive off the defending kaiju, but orders to attack were halted when it started speaking through its many arms. It claimed that it was Biggie Sneeze and that he was transformed after coming in contact with the kaiju. It then started playing some of Biggie Sneeze’s music to back up its claims. Communications were quickly set up in an attempt to communicate with the kaiju, and fans around the world rejoiced after it was confirmed that this was indeed Biggie Sneeze and that he had returned.

Meta:

Here he is. Biggie Sneeze. The jawless fish DJ I’ve been hyping for over a year now. He was intended for @godzillakiryu91’s create a kaimera contest, but that’s long since been over (and I already won it with my other submission named Draugimus). I don’t know what I’ll do with him now.

Maybe he’ll be in the GUARDIANverse, maybe not. I don’t know.

Just having some fun sketching my babies!~

My birthday is coming up, so with a little help from a friend, I decided to make a contest to celebrate! It’s going to involve the Age of Kaiju setting, with the rules that entails!

The contest itself is simple, Create a Kaimera. A Kaimera is what happens when you mix the cells from a kaiju into a different creature, making a new kaiju that mixes traits from both. Kaimera cannot be made with more than two different animals, with very few exceptions.

A three mix Kaimera has a very small chance for survival, if the three are unrelated. A three mix Kaimera has a higher chance of survival if the kaiju somehow grows from infancy, but as infant kaiju are practically non existent in modern times, this is difficult. This holds true for mixes of more than three, but the odds of survival are nearly non existent.

Mixes of three or more are more likely to succeed if the animals used are closely related to one another. For example, mixing an owl with a tarantula and a squid would most certainly die. Mixing an owl with several other birds is much more likely to survive, especially if they are also species of owl.

Additionally to these, Kaimera cells will result in a fatality if they are used to try and make a new Kaimera. The reason for the death in the first place is the trauma of such dramatic mutations, and some simple Kaimera also die from how drastically different the two creatures are, but Kaimera cells are already a mixture, so their cells are always lethal when it comes time for the mutation to kick in.

A Kaimera can be a mix of traits from either the original creature, or the kaiju donor. Typically, the Kaimera will be whatever the original creature was, kaijufied with features from the donor, but it is possible for the Kaimera to have more features from the donor than the original creature. Whatever you think would make a good kaiju. There are other rules as well, ones that apply to all kaiju in the Age of Kaiju universe.

All kaiju in the AoK universe are mutants, made by a type of radiation dubbed Kaijiation. Kaijiation infects cells, mutating them to produce more Kaijiation, and so on. The resulting mutants are kaiju, with Kaijiation repelling the effects of gravity that would otherwise prevent them from existing, as well as giving them several other kaiju powers, like faster healing, durability, and occasionally energy attacks. Kaijiation also allows for flight, if wings are present, and most visually obvious is the extra limbs and/or spinal mutations caused during the process. It’s not going to happen 100% of the time, but extra arms, legs, heads, or tails are a common side effect, and Kaimera are even more likely to have them.

For anyone entering, you will pick two to five of your favorite animals, and make a Kaimera out of them. Anything over two will need a solid explanation for how it survives it’s mutation, unless it is using one of the methods mentioned above.

The winner, or winners, depending on how many people even enter or how many good ones come in, will become completely canon to the Age of Kaiju universe! They will be referenced in the series itself, with possible appearances as well. It’s not much, but it’s what I can definitely do, and if you have any requests about how they show up let me know, but be aware that I am still on book one, so it’s not exactly like I’m flying through the story here.
