[b][u]Reporting Name:[/u][/b] Balaur
[b][u]Scientific Name:[/u][/b] [i]Lernaeus balaur[/i]
[b][u]Classification:[/u][/b] Archon
[b][u]Size:[/u][/b] [u]Weight-[/u] 70,000 tons; [u]Height-[/u] 150 meters (at the shoulder)
[b][u]Abilities:[/u][/b] Venomous, near-acidic bite; enhanced regenerative ability (even by Tenshi standards; able to regrow severed heads in roughly a day); toxic blood
[b][u]Territory:[/u][/b] North America
[b][u]Backstory:[/u][/b] First awakened from sleep beneath Yellowstone National Park, Balaur quickly established itself as the apex Tenshi of its area. While at first somewhat peaceful, a direct nuclear strike from the US Military sent the beast into a rage, directing the Tenshi to attack cities all across North America. Since then, it has remained hostile towards any and all humans it has encountered. In 2089, Balaur engaged in combat with the Archon of the Pacific; the battle destroyed New San Francisco, and the two have had an enmity towards each other ever since.[/hider]

[b][u]Reporting Name:[/u][/b] Isonade
[b][u]Scientific Name:[/u][/b] [i]Shayusaurus titanus[/i]
[b][u]Classification:[/u][/b] Archon
[b][u]Size:[/u][/b] [u]Height:[/u] 100 meters; [u]Weight:[/u] 65,000 tons
[b][u]Abilities:[/u][/b] Ionized gas breath (able to fire a beam of electromagnetic radiation), ionized gas claws (able to emit eletromagnetic radiation from its claws to make attacks more powerful), amphibious biology (possesses both gills and lungs), armored hide
[b][u]Territory:[/u][/b] Pacific Ocean; currently off the eastern coast of Japan
[b][u]Backstory:[/u][/b] It started with fishing boats going missing in the Sea of Japan. The few survivors swore that a giant shark had attacked their ships, but authorities wrote these accounts off. Weeks later, a JSDF submarine was sunk in the Genkai Sea. Finally, the beast responsible came ashore in Matsuura, Nagasaki. The US Military and JSDF deployed troops and vehicles to the area to kill the monster, but conventional weapons weren't able to pierce the creature's hide. Given where the monster came ashore, the media dubbed the beast "Isonade". Over the course of a week, Isonade attacked multiple cities in the Nagasaki Prefecture before returning to the ocean. Isonade wasn't sighted again until months later, on a collision course with Tokyo. The entire city was evacuated... but unlike before, the Tenshi wasn't out to kill humans. It had detected a Malakim in its territory that it viewed as a threat, which was currently building a nest below the city. The battle lasted for days, finally ending with Isonade killing the challenger, and leaving the charred, mutilated corpse on display as a warning to other Tenshi that might consider challenging its authority. In 2089, Isonade clashed with Balaur in New San Francisco over territory. Since then, the Archon has been alternately patrolling its territory and resting in the ruins of Old Tokyo, which remains a radioactive wasteland after World War III. [u]NOTE-[/u] Curiously, Isonade is one of the few Archons observed to eat other Tenshi. In particular, Isonade seems to have acquired a taste for Ushi-oni ([i]Gigacheira genji[/i]). While Isonade does not excrete waste (possibly due to being able to digest most organic material), it expels undigestable materials by quite literally regurgitating its own stomach and emptying it again before swallowing its stomach again.[/hider]
[hider="Genbu"][center][img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EFrjJB5U8AAqFCX?format=jpg&name=large[/img][/center]

[u][b]Reporting Name:[/b][/u] Genbu
[u][b]Scientific Name:[/b][/u] [i]Bahamusaurus xuanwu[/i]
[u][b]Classification:[/b][/u] Archon
[u][b]Size:[/b][/u] [u]Height:[/u] 125 meters (at the shoulder); [u]Weight:[/u] 90,000 tons
[u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u] Enhanced durability; limited carapace manipulation (able to change the shape of its carapace to a certain degree; scans show that Genbu's carapace is made up of several hundred bones, which can be flexed and moved at will); photosynthesis (Genbu's skin cells contain chlorophyll)
[u][b]Territory:[/b][/u]  Eastern Asia
[u][b]Backstory:[/b][/u] One of the few Tenshi discovered before the Awakening, Genbu was found sleeping beneath the Wudang Mountains, where it was studied in secret for years by the Chinese government. When the Tenshi began awakening, Genbu destroyed the facility around it, killing hundreds before establishing its territory in the eastern part of Asia. Unlike many Tenshi, Genbu constantly patrols the perimeter of its territory, and rarely ever stops to rest for very long. Despite its immense bulk, when Genbu has sensed another Archon intruding on its territory, it dropped everything and made a beeline for the intruder.[/hider]
[Hider="Kougou"][center][img]https://assets.echomtg.com/magic/cards/cropped/13710.hq.jpg[/img][/center]

[b][u]Reporting Name:[/u][/b] Kougou
[b][u]Scientific Name:[/u][/b] [i]Gigakuya kabuki[/i]
[b][u]Classification:[/u][/b] Archon
[b][u]Size:[/u][/b] [u]Height:[/u] 15.85 meters; [u]Weight:[/u] 30,000 tons
[b][u]Abilities:[/u][/b] Near-supersonic flight speed; spore dispersal (spores seem to serve multiple purposes, though the two most prominent are affecting animals on the psychological level and stimulating plant growth; testing on the effects of the spores on humans has been proposed); pressurised wind blades (able to gather and pressurize air with special organs on the side of her body, which can then be released, and channeled by her wings)
[b][u]Territory:[/u][/b] Western Europe
[b][u]Backstory:[/u][/b] First found as a massive cocoon in a temple beaneath the Gobi Desert, Kougou woke shortly after the other Tenshi, taking to the sky and flying northward to Russia, spreading spores along the way that caused an explosive growth of plant life. After being attacked by Russian fighter jets, Kougou leveled Moscow simply by flying over it; to this day, the once proud city is now overgrown with plantlife, and is home to strange, mutant animals. Afterwards, Kougou flew west, and claimed a large portion of Europe as her territory; unusually, though, she will often intrude on other Archons' territory to spread her spores. [u]NOTE-[/u] Scans of Kougou's biology and samples of DNA suggest that the Archon may possibly be able to reproduce asexually through [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis]parthenogenesis[/url]. Further research required.[/hider]

[b][u]Classification:[/u][/b] Malakim
[b][u]Size:[/u][/b] [u]Height:[/u] 55 meters; [u]Weight:[/u] 60,000 tons
[b][u]Abilities:[/u][/b] Irradiated fire breath (able to breathe radioactive fire; behavior seems to suggest this is a last resort); burrowing (able to tunnel at incredible speed); speed and agility (among the fastest and most agile of Malakim of its size); intelligence (intelligent by Tenshi standards)
[b][u]Territory:[/u][/b] North American East Coast
[b][u]Backstory:[/u][/b] First sighted in France, the Tenshi that came to be known as Bronx was driven from its territory by other Malakim before making landfall in the ruins of New York City. After a long battle with a Malakim that had claimed the area as home (eventually dubbed "Leeds"), the two seemed to come to an unspoken agreement: the line between their territories was at the Hudson River, though the two still occasionally come into conflict. Interestingly, Bronx seems to show no interest in humans unless attacked first.[/hider]

[b][u]Size:[/u][/b] [u]Height:[/u] 50 meters; [u]Weight:[/u] 50,000 tons
[b][u]Abilities:[/u][/b] Gliding (while Leeds' wings are too small to provide enough lift for flight, they do allow gliding); photosynthesis (wing membranes contain chlorophyll); illusions (although unconfirmed by TDI operatives, individuals have reported seeing smaller versions of the monster that do not exist; theories range from pheromones to outright psychic abilities, though more research is required)
[b][u]Territory:[/u][/b] North American East Coast
[b][u]Backstory:[/u][/b] For years, a legend made its home in the Pine Barrens: the Jersey Devil. For hundreds of years, people reported seeing a demonic creature flying through the skies, yet there was never hide nor hair of the beast. And so the beast was relegated to folklore and campfire stories. Then the Tenshi woke. Rising from underneath the Pine Barrens, a gigantic beast carved a path throughout the American east cost, crushing human resistance in its way, driven by the call of its Archon. Leeds, as it was called, only stopped after engaging in a territorial dispute with the Tenshi known as Bronx. While still hostile towards large groups of humans, it will permit smaller populations to live in its territory.[/hider][/hider]

[list]
[*][color=a9a9a9][b]Cloak:[/b][/color] Neurotis' skin is capable of absorbing radar waves, allowing her to remain undetectable by electronic means. Her skin is also capable to "camouflage" with her surroundings when not in rapid motion, which also allows her to be visibly invisible. With these two stealth tactics, fighters would have to rely on pure instinct and visible contact alone.
[*][color=a9a9a9][b]Echolocation:[/b][/color] While she lacks eyes, Neurotis makes up for said disadvantage by utilizing echolocation to seek her targets. 
[*][color=a9a9a9][b]Sonic Screech:[/b][/color] Neurotis unleashes an ear-splitting screech that is often used as an intimidation display. This can cause her opponent's eardrums to burst if they happen to be near her without proper protection.
[*][color=a9a9a9][b]EMP:[/b][/color] Neurotis can release a concentrated EMP within a mile-radius, temporarily shutting down any electronic device in the region for an extended period of time.
[*][color=a9a9a9][b]Venomous Harpoon Tongue:[/b][/color] Neurotis can inject a venomous cocktail from her long tongue into the flesh of her organic victims. The venom causes said victim to hallucinate and become nauseous, as well as their vision becoming blurred. It can also potentially lead the opponent to violently attack any nearby allies.

[hider=Spike-Limbed Sabertooth]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/bG5RYfh.jpg[/img]

[b][u]Reporting Name:[/u][/b] Spike-Limbed Sabertooth

[b][u]Scientific Name:[/u][/b] Panthera hamatis

[b][u]Classification:[/u][/b] Asura

[b][u]Size:[/u][/b] 30 meters tall, 85 meters long, 16500 tons

[b][u]Abilities:[/u][/b] Besides its fangs and claws, this Tenshi's main weapons are the bone spikes protruding at random intervals from its body, particularly its limbs. These spikes steadily grow in size and number throughout the creature's life.

Other notable attributes include its keen senses. It has superb night vision, although bright lights hurt its eyes. With its highly developed ears and nose, it can hear and smell things up to a mile away.

Despite its bulk, the Spike-Limbed Sabertooth is surprisingly agile and maneuverable. Its three long, flexible tails contribute to its sense of balance, as well as serving to bludgeon foes with their sheer strength.

[b][u]Territory:[/u][/b] New Mexico

[b][u]Backstory:[/u][/b] The first attacks took place in mountainside dwellings, shortly after the Archon Balaur went into a rage. Reports of spiked, hulking felines devastating towns by night flooded the media. As the TDC took action, they observed its behaviour over the following decades while guarding against further massacres. 

Although solitary creatures, their territories were found to rarely be located far apart, so when one strikes, others are likely to do the same nearby. For the most part, they leave others of their species alone, as well as non-prey Tenshi - they have rarely been seen attacking each other, although whether this is due to their nature or Balaur's influence has yet to be discovered.[/hider]
[hider=Magma Wasp]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/OLijwx7.jpg[/img]

[b][u]Reporting Name:[/u][/b] Magma Wasp

[b][u]Scientific Name:[/u][/b] Vespa ardens

[b][u]Classification:[/u][/b] Asura

[b][u]Size:[/u][/b] 8 meters, 100 tons

[b][u]Abilities:[/u][/b] The Magma Wasp gets its name from the luminescent, amber-toned acidic substance it can inject with a sting or a bite. The substance slowly spreads through the body, corroding the flesh from within, usually making for an agonising and drawn-out death in the case of humans.

What they lack in size, Magma Wasps make up for in numbers, attacking in swarms with considerable flight speed. When threatened, they release a pheromone that sends the entire swarm into a frenzy of aggression, and can attract more of their kind to the area.

With its eight compound eyes, this insect can easily keep track of the rest of the swarm.

[b][u]Territory:[/u][/b] Distributed throughout the Mediterranean, largest concentration in the east of Spain

[b][u]Backstory:[/u][/b] In the wake of the plant overgrowth spreading through Europe, giant wasps took to the uncontrolled wilderness in droves, wreaking havoc on remaining human communities. Deaths were particularly brutal; if the victim wasn't lucky enough to succumb to the puncture wound alone, injected acid would slowly destroy their organs, or worse. Some of the wasps, instead of simply stinging, would lay their eggs in the flesh of humans, or other animals that were sufficiently large but not a threat to them. These eggs would hatch quickly - often while the victim was still alive - and the larvae would feast on the surrounding tissue. As they consumed digestible matter and radiation alike, the young would grow and mature at an alarming rate.

Since defense attempts usually resulted in more wasps swarming to their aid, the TDC resorted to dangerous but necessary studies of their social structure, hoping to find a way they could target colonies. Deep in forests, they found several giant nests, consisting of paper made by chewing the abundant plant matter to a pulp. As such, the Magma Wasps were theorised to have a symbiotic association with Kougou, thriving in the vegetation she spreads.

Surprisingly, it turned out they have no queen, at least not of their own species. Research showed that colonies consist entirely of female workers, reproducing via parthenogenesis, and obeying only Kougou.[/hider]

[b][u]Size:[/u][/b] [u]Height:[/u] 54 meters; [u]Weight:[/u] 500 tons
[b][u]Abilities:[/u][/b] Armored hide, fire breath (glands at the back of the throat produce chemicals that, when combined and exposed to oxygen, combust); intelligence seems to be above average for Asura
[b][u]Territory/Distribution:[/u][/b] Central America; several individuals have been seen around Hawaii and California
[b][u]Backstory:[/u][/b] First sighted in Costa Rica, the Matanza quickly spread throughout Central America, burning and demolishing cities. However, something set them apart from other Asura: they roamed in small packs, and utilized hit-and-run tactics when dealing with human threats and other Tenshi. Despite reproducing in a similar manner to other Asura, color mutations occur at a high rate; the two most common variations have unofficially been dubbed "Nocturne" (black armor, blue scales, and orange underbelly) and "Sunburst" (black armor, yellows scales, and light blue underbelly).[/hider][/hider][/Hider]
