I've been thinking about this for a while and since many other kaiju fanatics have them I might as well take a crack at it. Here's a kaiju I've been toying around with for some time, I don't have any pics of him so this will have to be all in your minds.

Corvosaurus Rex: Lord of the Dark Skies
History:
Secret societies have been around as long as there have been rules to enforce and causes to fight. One such group wanted to make a way to transport supplies and even join a battle or two in a pinch. Naturally they turned to mechanics first, but do to limited technology they were forced to look to less moral means. They turned to genetics, considered by most the demon science and seen as the footsteps of madmen. Through trial and error the society toyed with the genes of every animal they could lay their hands on until they were masters at their craft. But soon some of the older members had begun to take ill and a few even died off, the remaining members realized that they wouldn't be able to carry on until the gap was filled. Their cause had been long since lost to the fascination to genetics, the group kept themselves in the shadows as they picked their targets. Soon new blood flowed into their ranks, but now they were not under a single reason as the old tried to rule the young. Monsters were made and killed as everything went very smoothly for a time, but an organization of this size was starting to draw the eyes of the great powers. Soon old plans were once again put into motion, the society wanted a trooper who could understand basic speech as well as be strong enough to do damage. They wanted something that would be an all purposes fighter, they looked at reptiles but they were to bound to the ground. Mammals varied too much from species to species and birds were to light to be any use in battle. They never even looked at fish. It seemed that no animal was a good template for their warrior, but then one scientist had an idea, he showed the board an artists rendering of an Archaeopteryx. The other members were very impressed, it was quick on land and new findings showed it was not a bad flyer, the hands played all too well into their plans for shock troops as well. The only trouble was getting the DNA from a fossil, but one brilliant man already had a machine that could work. This machine was called the DNA Magnetizer, what it did was use the base DNA of a relative of the fossil and then used it to shock life into the fossil. What happened next was something that few could imagine, the fossil's trace DNA was then ripped out of the rock and through it's base DNA, killing the donor and leaving a pile of pure DNA. Soon they had the animal living in small flocks in the compound, the next step was finding the right animals to combine it's DNA with to make their troops. Before they got down to choosing another animal, a well known Crytozoologist, brought in a living thunderbird he caught in the wilds of North America. The bird's feathers built up a static shock which caused the thunder like sounds it made when it flapped it's wings, needless to say it's DNA was added into the mix. Their troops needed brains so the DNA of the common raven was added to the embryo, they watched as it grew the shell around itself and slowly their prototype began to truly live. The day the egg hatched the compound was still, all eyes were on the years of research as it slowly broke out of it’s shell, when the chick poked it’s head out of the shell the was a collective gasp. It looked like a small dinosaur, it hardly looked like any of the bird DNA that they had placed in it, but the board were not so easily let down, they demanded the chick raised and tested. After a few months it was found that the prototype had unstable DNA, but it showed great promise of being everything that they wanted. The chick was growing at a rapid rate, doubling in size until it stood twice the height of a man. More tests were done on it and the scientists were pleased to find it’s brain showed levels of thinking near humans, comparable to a great ape. More were created once the unstable DNA problem was fixed and the board came up was a name for the species of shock troops, Corvosaurus. The had a flock mentality, but to the board’s disappointment they only grew to the size of humans, still the birds were every bit as smart as they had hoped. Soon they were perfectly trained, they could understand human words and even read. A by product, and great shock too the keepers, was that the new species didn’t each much more then a beak full a month. This started another battery of tests, these found that the feathers of the Corvosaurs were built unlike any other birds, they shared the same static powers as the thunderbird, but at a much greater extent. Storing so much energy this way meant that they could go for months with eating very little. The Corvosaurs were kept in the main compound with the prototype which was named Corvosaurus Rex, based on it’s larger size. But when the lights were off, something amazing happened “Aye we eady yet?” a squawking voice asked.
Over the next few months the training continued and to the surprise of the scientists so did the growth of C-Rex, in a short time the bird had reached kaiju size. This thrilled the board, having your very own 80 ton watch dog made them laugh at the thought of anyone trying to shut them down. Then one day something happened that would end the compound, one of the keepers noticed that when ever C-Rex flew, storm clouds followed him. But while they tried to figure out why, the giant was quickly leaning how. The corners of a Corvosaurus’s beak is very fleshy and could imitate a few facial expressions, that day the huge bird smiled as static raced through his feathers. The bird looked at the room that the board sat in “We aye slavs no mor!” the broken English rung out as a huge blots of pure black lightning shot out from his body. The metal of the room melted, everything the surge of black lightning touched began to melt, but as the very atoms split apart, they began to explode, killing everything within a hundred feet. While C-Rex handled the board, the rest of the Corvosaurus race broke out of the compound and locked up all of the scientists in their own cages. What happened then was something no one saw coming, C-Rex himself over saw the staff being loaded into a boat, he grabbed it with his talons and took to the air with a few powerful flaps. As he flew, one of the smarter Corvosaurs managed to get the computers working and bargained with the U.S government, the island for every single person who defied them. Of course the Corvosaurus kept what he was a secret. And so the island now belongs to them, with C-Rex guarding over his people and the smart Corvosaurus, named Caln, to lead them, a new race was born into the word and fought for the right to own their home land.



Corvosaurus Rex: Lord of the Dark Skies
Bio:
C-Rex is a thinking kaiju, he was made to handle everything that can be thrown at him, a jack of all trades if you will. On the ground he is a fierce and deadly fighter, using talons and beak to beat his foes into submission. In the air he is cloaked in the black storm clouds, making it near impossible to see where he is in the natural smokescreen. C-Rex will often try to understand his prey before attacking it and has often decided not to kill most of the humans he comes across unless they step onto his people’s island. All and all, he is a fair kaiju who would rather avoid a fight then attack without warning, that doesn’t mean he won’t buzz a tower now and again for a laugh.


Corvosaurus Rex: Lord of the Dark Skies
Powers:

Nega Lightning- The black lighting that Corvosaurus Rex fires from his body is caused by his unstable DNA which was in turn caused by the machine that was used to gain the fossil DNA. Because the scientists didn’t wait to stabilize the genes before making their prototype, the magnet based machine changed the thunderbird positive lighting genes into negative. Normal lightning overloads conductors such as a machine or living body, but nega lightning sap the energy until the object implodes on itself which is followed by a harsh explosion.

Storm Wings- When ever C-Rex flaps his wings the static of his feathers interacts with the water particles of the air and create storm clouds where ever he goes. C-Rex will often blanket a battle field in the dark clouds before diving down on his blinded foe with talons ready to rip out their throat. This gave rise to his title “Lord of the Dark Skies”.

Telescopic Eyes- C-Rex has keen eyes, able to see through almost any cloud, smokescreen and even thin skinned kaiju.

Static Feathers- C-Rex’s feather build up massive amounts of static energy, this disrupts most machines within at least four miles as well as making him impossible to track by radar. This also makes it hard to grab the bird without being zapped, these zaps wouldn’t be enough to really enough to hurt a kaiju for long, the zap would surprise and stun them though.

Charged talons/beak/fangs- The static nega lightning may be focused through either talons, beak or fangs, in this way C-Rex can cause massive damage to kaiju his weapons might not normally harm.


Weaknesses:

Nuclear Energy- C-Rex’s DNA is still unstable and doses of nuclear energy can disrupt his cells and hurt him very badly, out of all his weaknesses this is his most deadly.

Light Bones- All birds and most predatory dinosaurs suffer from this weakness.

Charged Body- If thrown into water all his stored energy suddenly leaves him and he is greatly weakened, also he losses his static energy the longer he stays still, so attacking him after he had been sleeping for a while would gain an edge.

Not Specialized- While he is good at fighting in the air, on the ground and just about everywhere and in any way, he is not the best at any one thing.



Corvosaurus Rex: Lord of the Dark Skies
Description:

Head and Neck- C-Rex has a flexible and comparatively long neck, much like a Archaeopteryx, his eyes are much more like a raven’s in looks then his other DNA. The beak is a mix of Arch and raven, the dinosaur like fangs sit on reptile like gums that are inside the beak instead of being part of it.

Body- The body is built like a mix of Arch in the chest, raven in the back and muscles, and eagle like over all from the thunderbird.

Legs and Feet- Legs are fairly long and very powerful, based mostly on the Arch’s leg structure. The feet look more suited to running, much like the Arch, but the talons can unsheathe, becoming as long and sharp as any eagle’s or thunderbird.

Wings- The wings look more like a raven’s then the other DNA donors, but bits of thunderbird can be seen. There are three very flexible claws on the hand of the wing, the talons are quite sharp and may be sheathed or unshead depending on if he is trying to be careful or deadly.

Tail- The tail is all Arch, each of the feathers act like the tail feathers of an eagle/thunderbird or a raven, each feather may be spread out or closed.

Color- All of C-Rex’s feathers are jet black, but they have a sort of glossy look to them when the light hits just right…sort of like a grackle’s. When the light hits in this why it looks metallic and blue. C-Rex’s legs, beak and the skin around his eyes are dull yellow with scales, much like an eagle/thunderbird. His eyes are black with brown pupils.

I’m quite proud how this turned out…well, this is my Godzilla, or at least that’s the role he fills in my out look of the Kaiju verse.

His name is a mix of my own and Corvous, part of the latin name for a raven. Corvosaurus Rex just sounds a little more smoother then Ravensaurs Rex, my name sounds slightly missmatched, but I'm not changing it.

The back story was inspired by Ren Dragon Claw[link] and his ever surprising kaiju universe, if anyone enjoyed my Corvosaurus Rex or if you just like cool monsters, go check RDC’s gallery out.

I might get him drawn one day…I lack the skills to try myself and maybe if I’m not feeling lazy I will try asking around. But if anyone wants to take a shot, fill free to try if you want, I’m not going to stop you.
