Factions: More information available at a later date.

Status:  -Active throughout recent history, 100's of years back at least.

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Rank: 1


Measurements:

Height: 3 meters at head, legs extended

Length: 5 meters including tail

Weight: Lightweight


Powers:
 
Normal:

-Tail Swipe-The Tripodero's thick powerful tail can be used as a formidable bludgeon.

Special:

- Stone Spit- The red pouches along the sides of the neck are used to hold smoothed rocks, which it can spit at extreme velocity at prey, usually with enough force to act almost as effectively as a bullet.

Weaknesses:

- Small and Soft-Tripodero's are actually very small for kaiju, barely even big enough to be considered one.  They are very vulnerable to other monsters, and to humans as well.  A good shotgun could take one out.

-Shy-Tripodero's are very timid, and will often back away from a challenge.

Personality:

Tripodero's are very shy, small monsters who roam desert areas and the low scrublands of some mountain ranges.  Able to extend or retract their strange legs at will, they will often sneak through tall grasses on their bellies, almost like a snake. Then when it is close enough, it will extend it's legs to see over the grass, take aim at a prey animal, and shoot a rock directly at the animals head.  It is almost always pinpoint accurate.

Bio:

Strange things were lurking out of every corner of the world, with more and more bizarre things being seen and reported, and still somehow Rhys Green was surprised when he came face to face with...whatever the hell this thing in front of him was.

To be fair, he hadn't even gone looking for it this time.

He had gone out looking before, of course, being a veterinarian/part time cryptid seeker, but he'd never actually expected to find anything.  Just vaguely hoping.  This...didn't look like any cryptid he'd ever gone looking for, though.

Sort of like a snake with the strangest goddamn legs he'd ever seen.  The vet part of him was almost offended that anatomy like that could even exist.

The best part was it's mouth didn't even open all the way to the back of it's head.  Only the front part, a small bit in comparison to the length of head, was opening to eat the raccoon it had just shot.  In the head.

With a fucking rock out of it's mouth, what was this, Pokemon?

Still, he had his camera phone, and it didn't seem interested in him at all beyond the head tilting glance it had given him after he had squealed in shock.  So he took a few pictures and posted them on the internet chat rooms that had cropped up after the world discovered that, yes, monsters are real and they are really friggin' big.

He was told that it looked like a Tripodero, a monster that not even cryptid experts had even considered as a possibly real thing, and they had believed in trees that ate people.

Now he was really worried about the trees.

Nothing like taking a walk and finding something that isn't supposed to exist, yeah?
