Pollution Monster
HEDORAH

Max Height: 70 meters
Max Mass: 40,000 metric tons
Type 3 - Uber Class

Bio:
Of all the atrocities that humankind as a whole is responsible for, there is little more horrific than the careless discarding of waste materials that no animal, plant, or any other lifeform on our little blue planet can re-utilize, and as a result, pollution is slowly but ever-so-surely strangling Earth to death.
It goes without saying that, under the right circumstances, an amalgamation of the pure destructive wickedness that is pollution would rise from its own muck, and utilize Man's true sin against it. HEDORAH was such a creature.
The first appearence of the monster was chalked up to many sightings of boat-sized, tadpole-shaped beasts, which eventually made their way to the garbage-choked waters surrounding Japan, amalgamated into one giant, formless blob of a monster and slithered its way onto land, hunting for the awful pollutants spilling out of factories and the waste pouring out of cities to feed itself. In its most "natural" form, Hedorah hardly attempts to maintain a solid shape, but its unique physical structure allows its to re-configure itself, using whatever intelligence works in that disgusting body, into a new form in order to combat whatever obstacle lies in its path.
The only creature to ever fight Hedorah and emerge victorious was none other than Godzilla, King of the Monsters, and even such a mighty beast was nearly felled by the Smog Monster, after being smothered, choked, burned, beaten and maimed. Indeed, Godzilla hates Hedorah above all other monsters, and even after the creature's apparent death, there's no ruling out the possibility of another's existence.
Hedorah's origin is a complete and total mystery, as it seems impossible that such an animal could even exist, even if it was extraterrestrial. However, it makes a strange sort of sense to think that, should the planet become totally polluted and devoid of natural life, then creatures like Hedorah would actually flourish, which leads one to believe....could Hedorah be the next logical step in evolution?

NOTE: It seems as though hopes were dashed all too soon, as unconfirmed reports indicate that somewhere near Argentina, a new, similar kaiju has been sighted, with the name "Deathla" being thrown around G-FORCE HQ...

Abilities/Apects:
-Able to shape-shift to different forms, including aquatic form (like a tadpole), a flying form, and a fighting form (bipedal)
-Can spray a sulfuric acid which can kill biomass and corrode steel
-Uses bodily fluids (all acidic and poisonous) to flood areas and even try to kill large enemies
-Can absorb any material into mass, but seeks out highly concentrated areas of pollution to feed
-Able to extend appendages to attack prey
-Projectiles absorbed into mass, and explosions merely scatter pieces that will eventually re-form into whole body
-Body largely unaffected by Godzilla II's atomic breath (though Godzilla III's breath would likely do more damage)
-Only vulnerable to being massively dehydrated, and such a feat is nearly impossible without a colossal amount of resources and time

This is definately one of my favorite monsters from the 70's and your rendering of it is nothing less than awsome. It's got an almost evil feel to it and the glowing eyes, as well as the smoke stacks that constantly keeps pumping toxic gas into the atmosphere, greatly enhances that effect.

Surrender your world or prepare to be destroyed....please?

A vile, nauseating, festering putrification! That's what makes this kaiji quite cool in a disgusting sort of way, along with the backstory!

Woah, holy crap that is a nice design. It would be really cool for him to return with a vengence. What happened to him in Final Wars was not right

HEDORAH: THE SMOG MONSTER
:icontod309:
I like those smoke stacks. So this what the pokemon Muk and Grimar would look like in an alternate series.
:iconscythemantis:
My all-time favorite kaiju, and this is a lovely design indeed. I especially like the little patch of exposed viscera on the final form.

The only thing I don't care for too much are the eyes. Like the Final Wars design, I think Hedorah loses something with more "menacing" eyes. The eeriest and most striking feature of the original was definitely that intense, utterly emotionless, almost cartoonish fish-eye stare.
:icondarkriddle1:
One of my all time favorites, man. Great design work!
:iconstonetemp1pilot:
... And here comes Hedorah wearing the ever controversial grunge look.
