Gorgiza, Radioactive Kaiju

Your basic legally-distinct-from-any-Tojo-properties kaiju.  You can use the same template for other similar creatures by swapping out Nuclear for other powers such as Flight, Fire, Toxic, etc.

Gorziga

It's your basic ancient mutant kaiju woken up and empowered by nuclear testing or atomic waste spills or something along those lines.  Mostly interested in finding more atomic power to feast on, and it isn't letting humanity get in the way of that goal.  Super-humans may fare a little better against Gorgiza, but it's still no pushover and any defeat is likely to be only a temporary victory.   

Description: A towering hybrid of dinosaur, glyptodont, and simian, with a hunched apelike posture, massive dorsal shell, long spike-studded tail, and a vaguely crocodilian head.  When angered its mouth and eyes emit an electric blue glow and arcs of energy begin to crawl over its armor and limbs.

Gender: Male?            Age: 65,000,000+      Height: ~165'          Eyes: Black

Hair: None                      Scales: Dark Gray-Green                  Build: Monstrous

Approach: Overpowered

Archetype: Titan (Status Challenge: Confuse & Distract 00  Go For The Eyes 0)

Health:  65 + (5 x H)

Powers: Strength d12, Nuclear d10, Vitality d10                                        

Qualities: Close Combat d8, Giant Atomic Monster d8, Ranged Combat d6                                   

Status: Titan Challenge Start - d12 / Stage 1 Completed - d10 / Stage 2 Completed - d8

Abilities:

Atomic Lightning (A) Attack using Nuclear.  Use your Max + Mid + Min dice.  Hinder yourself using your Max die.  Take damage equal to your Mid + Min dice.

Enraged Frenzy (R) When Attacked by a roll that includes doubles, remove one of the successes from the Titan's challenge. 

Massive Destruction (A) Activate one of the environment's twists in its current zone.

Monstrous Rampage (A) Attack multiple targets using Strength.  Use your Max die.  Hinder each target using your Mid die.

Radioactive Kaiju (I) Reduce all damage you take by 6 (at d12 status), 4 (at d10 status), or 2 (at d8 or less status).

Upgrades & Masteries (optional):

Group Fighter (I) +20 Health.  When you take an action that lets you make an Attack, also make an Attack using your Mid die.

Master of Annihilation (I) If you can cause massive collateral damage without regard for casualties, automatically succeed at an Overcome in a situation where a show of overwhelming force would help.

Tactics

Gorgiza is a walking disaster area.  Radioactive Kaiju makes it very hard to damage, and it responds to attacks with Monstrous Rampage and Enraged Frenzy.  Heroes attempting to Overcome its Titan's challenge or inflicting serious damage may draw an Atomic Lightning attack, and the creature will make regular use of Massive Destruction to use the environment against the heroes.
