Tunjera - Mountain God Beast

a.k.a The Guerrizooka

Living in the thin cold air of the high altitudes, the very mountains that they live on shake under their foot steps. These 6 metre tall bipeds are the first of the God Beasts and bear one single eye. That eye is resistant to ultra violet rays and can zoom in to focus on prey. Its favourite meals are usually flying game.

When the prey approaches its territory, it picks up rocks with its claws and holds them into the suction pads in the center. The most effective rocks are oval , arrow or diamond shaped and about the size of an american football. Then it points its arm towards the prey and waits for it to fly within range. A jolt of electricity then passes through its main arm nerve which generates a piston like organ in the fore arm, forcing a mass of air into the suction pad. The rock therefor flies out at a tremendous speed into the prey who falls dead. The Guerrizooka then quickly consumes its kill with its three mouths before any scavengers or rivals appear.

They have audio receptors on both sides of their mouthless head that can be turned out with reflex when firing from their arm cannons that cause a loud gunshot sound. A speaker on their chest above their mouths allow them to make their own sounds for communication with others of their kind. The massive horn on the back of the Guerrizooka is actually a durable but hollow shell that connects with the internal engines. The organ that absorbs nutrients (the equivalent to our small intestine) coils into that shell, absorbing more nutrients than the average Tunjeran. This evolutionary trait enables these beasts to make the most of every meal they consume. The shell also deceives predators from trying to eat the young of this species or risk injury. Those who know how to make a safe kill will actually absorb the metal components of the shell to enhance their own armor.

The horns, neck plates, claws and shell of this creature all contain a silver like element that is very common in the structure of animals on Tunjera but not so in the soil. With many important minerals depleted from the ground, scientist began to believe the animals will weaken over time as they can't replenish expired elements. However, the bizarre magnetic properties of Tunjera enable the world to safely gather minerals from space (in the shape of meteors or space dust) without drastically damaging the ecosystems. Over the eons, the minerals on Tunjera will accumulate and the world will return to its former richness. In fact, detailed study of the planets history revealed that the world never suffered from a meteor impact. The presence of 8 gas giants in the system may be a contributing factor.

"The Mountain God Beast was inspired by Scorponok from Beast Wars, Regirock from the Pokemon franchise and a cyclops".

From his beard to his boots he was covered with ammo
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye,
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"
