A creature in its own class... a guardian.
A design for a Nomu type creature from my My Hero Academia fanfic “Shattered Destiny” (appears in chapter 18) which is actually a mix of Next-Instant Villain (Vigilantes) and the standard Nomu. This creature is simply known as "The Guardian" ("shugosha" 守護者). He has an actual name in another fic once I get around to writing him in, which is "Shu-chan" He has a total of 11 Quirks, a few simply for aesthetic purposes (Skull Face + Wild Mane) but has a few for functionality that are in harmony hence why he can hold so many. He can be biped to stand like a bear but since his front is more gorilla shaped he walks on all fours. His skull was modeled on a slightly modified bear's skull.
Seeing various cool creature designs urged me to finally do this (such as this). He is namely inspired by a couple of creatures from James Cameron's Avatar (bio-luminescence!) along with the fic AUs Nomu!Toshinori AU (@toshinoumu) and Useless Monster (@uselessmonsterboy), both I highly recommend! Pretty much I wanted a mix of terrifying yet still big and cute/huggable as he is custom made. Not something you want to tangle with but if he's on your side, he's basically like a big protective lovable dog loyal to only one or two people and will fight to the death to protect.
