Here's a peak at one of the contained titans - the mighty "Crimson Devil" Horus! [center][hider=King Of the Skies"] [hr][hr] [img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjg4LmJlMGUwZS5TRzl5ZFhNLC4y/requiem.regular.png[/img] [hr][hr] [img]https://i.imgur.com/7nT0pM6.png[/img] [b][u][color=ed1c24]Name:[/color][/u][/b] | "Titanus horus" | "Horus" | "The Crimson Eclipse" | "The Red Devil" | "Pharaoh/King/God of the Skies" | [b][u][color=ed1c24]Appearance:[/color][/u][/b] Enwrapped in a dark crimson hue, Horus' body plan heavily resembles that of a pterosaur - more specifically compared to those within the Azhdarchidae family (ex: Quetzalcoatlus, Hatzygopteryx, Arambourgiania, etc). His massive, yet slender, beak is sleek in design and curved slightly downwards to accommodate for its carrion and pescatarian life style. It even sports a trio of teeth-like tusks on his lower jaw, ensuring that none escape its maw as they fall into his large pouch. It's body shape, along with the shape of size of his osteoderms, makes Horus look as if he has a hunched over when on land. His crimson skin also varies in different hues, being more dark on the top and lighter at the bottom. Even his eyes are blood-red in color. Horus also sports three winged fore-claws on his wings, with the middle claw being nearly as big as his largest rib bone. It is theorized that it is utilized in combat with other creatures or utilized when hunting large megafauna. His three tail "spikes" are tipped in a venomous yellow, however no evidence of venom glands have been identified within. Possible function is either to attract mates or ward off foes by fooling them as if he is indeed venomous. A blackened scar can be seen on the creature's left eye, left there by an unknown monster that it engaged in brutal combat. [b][u][color=ed1c24]Size:[/color][/u][/b] 85 Meters Tall | 300 Meter Wingspan [b][u][color=ed1c24]First Appearance:[/color][/u][/b] Egypt - Found and contained within Outpost 44, located near Mount Sinai. [b][u][color=ed1c24]Abilities:[/color][/u][/b] [list] [*][b][color=ed1c24]Flight:[/color][/b] Horus' massive wings allow him to fly at sonic speeds, capable of leveling entire city blocks just by flying over them. [*][b][color=ed1c24]Hardened Skin:[/color][/b] Horus' back is covered in a row of hard, sleek, osteoderms, which protect his backside from incoming attacks. They could even protect him from beam blasts from other titans. [*][b][color=ed1c24]Stealth:[/color][/b] Like a B-2 stealth bomber, Horus' dark-crimson skin is anti-reflective, making him incredibly hard to see when flying overhead at night. This also tricks with radar as they have difficulty detecting the presence of the creature. [*][b][color=ed1c24]Heat Ray:[/color][/b] Horus' can fire a beam of highly-concentrated plasma towards his opponent. [*][b][color=ed1c24]Sonic Thunderclap:[/color][/b] Horus' has been identified utilizing his massive wings to issue a thunderous clap, sending in a violent hurricane-force wind that could disrupt foundations and stun other monsters. [/list] [b][u][color=ed1c24]Weaknesses:[/color][/u][/b] [list] [*][b][color=ed1c24]Unprotected Underbelly:[/color][/b] Horus' armor is only prominent on the top of his body - ranging from the tip of his beak to the tip of his sharpened tail. Even the top portion of his wings are armored to an extent! However, its underbelly lacks this armor to allow it to move efficiently and issue evasive maneuvers on the dime. While average military equipment is still rendered useless when engaging the underside, more powerful weapons should be able to wound the creature if weapons target said vulnerable spot. [*][b][color=ed1c24]Air-Freak:[/color][/b] Horus' true potential resides in flight. In the air, he is a quick yet powerful opponent, however like most pterosaurs, he is rather slow and clumsy when walking on land. Taking out the wings would force the creature to land, preventing it from escaping back into the air. [/list] [b][u][color=ed1c24]Personality:[/color][/u][/b] Judging by the ancient texts and inscriptions found as of far, Horus has been said to be a "beast with ever changing personalities", hinting that it had both saved and ruined the lives of those that worship him. Many of TERRA's paleobiologists claim that the beast could've been a mostly solitary beast that would only get together with others of his kind during mating season. However, with the lack of evidence claiming of other similar beasts to Horus, this would prompt him to become more aggressive as it constantly fought other beasts simply to survive and in the hopes of eventually finding a mate to carry on the next generation. [b][u][color=ed1c24]History:[/color][/u][/b] Known by the texts of Ancient Egypt as "Horus" - the sky god - this massive winged beast was worshipped and revered by the Egyptians as a primordial god. Ancient hieroglyphics and illustrations found within ancient temples and the pyramids shown Horus both as the traditional illustration of wearing a falcon head upon a humanoid body and as the massive crimson beast often flying an ravaging a city below or engaging with other monsters. Perhaps the former rendition was a way for them to personify him. One of the titan's most famous symbols is the "Eye of Horus" - a symbol of protection, royal power, and good health. Judging how illustrations had shown the beast battling or communicating with other giant foes, including renditions theorized to be the gods Set, Anubis, and Sobek respectively. However, one illustration described the great god to have fallen underneath a collapsing mountain after being defeated by an unspecified god - burying Horus underneath a mile of rubble and sand near what's now Mount Sinai. It would be the last piece of writing ever found to mention him. Strangely, for a creature of such size, paleobiologists suspected that Horus would also be flying elsewhere outside of Africa, however nearly all of his proof was documented in multiple sources within North Africa. Several European diaries and manuscripts had seemed to hint or mention of Horus' existence, however they never seemed to give it a name. It wasn't until 1994 when TERRA first discovered the beast after a Terran archeological expedition accidentally uncovered him from deep within a cave system. He wasn't dead at all - rather in a state of suspended dormancy. Shortly after, a containment facility would be placed right on top of him as "Outpost 44", where he was monitored closely by TERRA. The question now wasn't the fact of if it could awake, but rather a matter of when.
