Description:
Mesucos is a terror. Not only is he destructive and savage, he's also intelligent and cunning. He uses his great power efficiently, taking down foes quickly and easily. He is no rogue marauder without ambition or reason. He is a focused, smart force, a faction unto himself. Created by an ancient- but advanced- civilization from the sacred black caiman, he was once a weapon of war. Now his creators are no more and he stands alone, destroying and fighting upon his own free will. But his appetite for conquest remains in full. Unlike many other more vile giants, his actions are specific and planned, and he's experienced enough to know when he's beat. He will not waste energy on a loosing battle. This makes him one of the most dangerous kaiju around, being both powerful and sly. Mesucos takes combat very seriously. He doesn't fight, he wages war. Every move is calculated, every step planned out, and every situation prepared for. He is like war incarnated- aggressive, merciless, and a plague upon Mankind. It is unknown whether this is his born nature or the result of eons of military use. Most likely, it's a combination of both. As twisted as it is to imagine, he simply yearns to throw nations and continents into chaos.

Powers:
-Jaws of the River: Mesucos's jaws are long, powerful, and lined with deadly conical fangs, his bite just as devastating as that of his smaller kin; he wields the chomp of a caiman out for blood, and he refuses to let go until he is drenched in it
-Curved Claws: Mesucos's muscular arms are tipped with long, thin claws that gleam with polished sharpness; the grand beast can slash with these talons as if he had a fistful of straight razors; he has an odd habit of extending only his pinkie claw- the longest- and using this sickle-like finger to slit throat or carve permanent smiles into open jaws
-Spines: Mesucos's sturdy limbs are spurred with rounded spines, and the Water Caesar is practiced in using these tough spikes to both defend from blows and deliver deep gashes in even thick hides
-Scute-Cluster Tail: the impressive tail of Mesucos is long and heavy like a fluid length of steel; this great tail is ended by a interlocked trio of exaggerated, blade-like scutes and two deadly spurs; the serrated scutes can vibrate and rustle, producing a deep chattering sound like the buzz of a gigantic rattlesnake; swaying behind the Black Dragon and ready to strike down at any moment, this rattling tail is not only intimidating, it is lethal; its rapid movement can saw it into flesh, and its musculature is enough to support the weight of another monster entirely, heaving them into the air and letting gravity push them down into the sawing blades
-Thunderbeam: Mesucos can fire a huge blast of crackling yellow energy from his maw; this broad ray has electrical properties, although it is not technically classified as static power; it transfers an enormous jolt into foes- launching them back with a burst of smoke and sparks- shorts out unprotected machinery, and disperses across water in jagged bolts, boiling rivers and churning seas; irregular yellow energy dances across his horny back plates when charging this attack, and his milky white eyes glow yellow during its use
-Thermal Lance: Mesucos can fire a concentrated beam of fiery green-and-red energy from his jaws; this infernal ray of thin force is spear-like and incredibly hot, melting metal and burning through flesh with ease; particles of red energy radiate from the crimson spines on his neck like fire when preparing this attack, and his milky white eyes glow green during use
-Energy Manipulation: the veins of Mescucos course with a potent purple essence that he can emit from any point on his body; bolts of this power can fly from his claw tips like lightning, explosive orbs can be compacted in his hands or between his horns, and his many spikes and spines can be charged like energized blades; perhaps his most dangerous and unusual use of this power is to weaponize section of his own flesh; by charging his own armor and skin with this power, he can turn sections of himself into a time bomb; one piercing strike from an enemy, and a fireball engulfs them; this damages Mesucos as well, but it is a calculated risk that he always considers carefully; in times of desperation, the caiman would always have the option of empowering his whole body and becoming a suicidal super-bomb
-Weapon-smith: Mesucos can forage his purple essence into the likenesses of human weaponry; he can stretch jagged spears from his claws, flick out slashing blades, heave broad axeheads, trail thin energy whips from his talons, practically anything imaginable; he can reacreate any human killing tool, although he has a universal preference towards the more medieval ones; the weapons he forms can be detonated upon will, his mind the detonator; once he has carved a foe, he will anchor his blade deep in their flesh, take a few steps back, and watch as their hides are blow asunder; his milky white eyes glow purple when the during energy-smithing, and a bright flash induces detonation of his creations
-Static Shock: the creation of his energy weapons generates an excess of crackling, electricity-like waste; instead of letting this jolting web-work of power disperse into the atmosphere and become ambient energy useless to him, Mesucos stores it in extra muscles that were designed to act like batteries; whenever he is in contact or close quarters with an enemy, he can discharge these storage organs and zap offending foes with a thousand molten volts
-Glass Shield: Mesucos can form a large, circular barrier of translucent white energy before his webbed hands; this shield only covers about half of his body at a time, but can be moved freely to catch attacks; it is very useful to deflect energy attacks, parting beams like water, but will shatter upon physical contact; this fragmenting effect is advantageous in some ways through, because slamming a foe with the shield will lodge jagged shards of it in their flesh; Mesucos's milky eyes glow a pale white when using this power
-Psychic Chaos: through his unwanted touch, Mesucos can communicate with other beings; this one-sided 'conversation' is not through words, but through feelings; his touch fills other creatures with his growling hunger for death and destruction, swamping them in his overwhelming savagery; none of the caiman's cunning or thoughts are transferred, only his pure bloodlust; the chaotic emotions will throw most creature into confusion, but it is possible to break or dull the flow of emotion through intense focus or sheer determination; the intimidation factor of not just seeing, but feeling, how much their foe wishes to kill them is an entirely different matter
-Levitation: through carefully manipulation of his essence and the air around him, Mesucos can hover and move gracefully, if somewhat slowly, through the air, like a hard-edged parade float; this power can be broken by a powerful blow, but the caiman typically does not let himself be caught off guard so easily; he favors using this ability to distance himself from foes and pelt them with ranged attacks until they are worn down enough to move in and finish off; his milky eyes glow white while this ability is used, and jagged purple ribbons dance between his smooth black back plates
-Crocodilian Armor: Mesucos is coated in scaly plate armor that guards his body like Kevlar; this tough, segmented defense is fortified by bone, wrapped tightly in dense skin, and shielded by numerous spikes and spines, capable of both surviving blows and absorbing impacts; his underbelly, usually a soft point of his kind, is the most well defended portion of his area, covered by multiple layers of scutes; this flawless armor turns Mescucos into a walking tank and allows him to wade through assaults that would knock other giants on their ass

Bio:
When the ancient rune of an unknown civilization was discovered in the Amazon, it was soon flooded with researchers. But all the activity awoke something that had been sealed there eons ago. A blast of purple energy leveled half the site, and a black dragon rose up from the rubble. Eying the surviving researchers below with his eerie, stoic gaze, the beast made an easy decision. With a blast of his heat ray, he vaporized the terrified people and declared war on Mankind. But the creature realized that Man was not without allies. He senses other giants all across the globe, many concentrated to small areas. So many other monster could prove an issue. So he would destroy them. Hacking a path of fire and death through the Amazon, the best made his way towards Giant's Gate Two.

As the G.A.K.F. tried desperately to slow down the creature with conventional weaponry, the little information gathered from the ruins provided a few answers. The kaiju's name could be roughly translated to 'Mesucos' and it was once some kind of war deity. The best guess at its true nature was some kind of bio-weapon used for war. That would explain its focused and particular behavior. But how it was made and its resemblance to a black caiman is still a mystery.

Reaching Giant's Gate Two before any G.A.K.F. kaiju could reach his location, Mesucos attacked! Gus and Ardia were easily dispatched, left unconscious for later disposal. Cressie and Atrocity, sensing that the beast was a threat that they couldn't handle alone, banded together. They gave Mesucos a good fight, very nearly dealing him mortal blows several times. But the caiman ended the battle with one decisive blow, using his thunderbeam to electrify the two fish as they fell into a deep pool. With the two stunned and helpless, Mesucos moved to find the last giant he sensed- Jolt. Sensing little threat from the knifefish, he decided to simply kill it.

A blast of plasma blew him off his feet.

Aidryu had arrived to protect his adopted 'father', Jolt. Attacking Mesucos with all the wrath of a raging thunderstorm, the salamander proved its might. But Mesucos was still stronger. Loosing all his powers, the black caiman gained the upper hand. But luckily for Aidryu, another electrical dragon arrived to help. Having come all the way from Giant's Gate Three, Skex joined the duel alongside Aidryu. Sharing and joining their electricity, the two defeated Mesucos with a huge blast of thunder, knocking the black beast clear out of Giant's Gate Two. Knowing he was outmatched, Mesucos retreated.

As he recovered, Mesucos sensed two other beings of his wickedness and cunning. Traveling to the far north, he found Koatl and Ullraldi waiting for him. Making a silent treaty with the two other giants, he allied himself with them. A trio of terror now plotting domination over Earth, the war for the planet entered a whole new level.

With their revivals, both Sunbalze and Photon fell under Mesucos's command, the bird out of mindless loyalty, the mammal out of honor.

When he and his allies launched their war on the world, Mesucos, with his own agenda not shared with his allies, immediately made a beeline for Greece. Quickly locating the mountain tomb of Lykothop, the cunning general damaged the great stone prison with a strike from an energy blade. The blow sent great cracks up the mountain, but didn't damage it enough to free the terrible beast within just yet. Not even Mesucos wanted to deal with an angry Lykothop. Returning to his intended path with haste, the crocodilian terror headed for the heart of the United Kingdom. After leveling everything there, he would move on to crush America. Behind him, the mountain that contained Lykothop shuddered and a muffled howl rose up from the cracks. The werebeast would be free soon. And then he would either attack the humans or his former family. Mesucos fully expected that Fenris and Skollarg would be able to take care of the ice warriors meant to hold then down, so he felt such a precaution was necessary.

Caught before he could march too deep into the United Kingdom, Mesucos faced Avenger, Sid, and Reaper. Confident in his own abilities, Mesucos attacked without hesitation. The three defenders were in for a hard battle, but knew they couldn't loose. Oscar fought especially fiercely, as the battle was quite close to his native home. Mesucos dominated the battle for the most part, using an exploding energy weapon to temporarily stun one of the G.A.K.F. giant when another rushed to attack, but the guardians soon caught onto this. Instead of attacking one-by-one and allowing the Black Dragon to deal with them individually, the champions began attacking as one. With this change of tactic, Mesucos was forced to accept what seemed impossible to him- after months of training and planning, he was loosing. Loosing to these filthy human-lovers again. Furious, the black caiman doubled his effort, fighting with every bit of power he had. He managed to blow an arm off Avenger, disabling the machine, but it was already too late. He was done, too spent to fend off Sid and Reaper much longer. So the general decided to take an alternative to plain defeat. Gathering all his remaining energy, the crazed beast began forming a bomb. He was going to fall, but he was taking everything around his to. He would die, but not alone. The unstable orb of power crackling and sizzling, the Destroyer prepared to live up to his name by detonating the rest of his might to go out with a bang.

Before he could start the reaction that would destroy everything, a broad blade burst from his chest.

Dark blood splashing into the street below, Mesucos crumpled with a gurgle- dead, stabbed through the heart. Behind him, Photon stood with a hard look of duty in his eyes. He couldn't have let his former superior do it, to kill the warriors that bested him and the innocents that had no part in the conflict. Although he had to break one of his biggest taboos and slay Mesucos, it was worth it. If there was any creature he knew that deserved death, it was the caiman. Turning and leaving without a sound, the mammal disappeared, leaving a stunned trio of G.A.K.F. monsters and a confused Rhact and Skex behind him.

I may love the Big 5, but this is definitely my favorite out of all of your kaiju (so far). Every single aspect of this character is planned to a tee, and is one of the most complete characters in your entire kaiju-verse. I definitely want to either see him show up at the UCA or at a different RPG.
