Powers:

Agile Environs- Because of her spliced DNA, Cessin is able to move easily in just about any environment given to her. On land she can move as a snake, a silent slither that can be surprisingly quick when she is setting up an attack. Or using her instectiod legs the kaiju can move suddenly, charging about to close the distance between her and any target she has in  no time at all. Cessin is also able to climb large trees or buildings, either wrapping herself around them and moving upwards as a serpent or gripping on with her centipede legs and marching up there. Hidden on her long back is a sleeve like wing-covers that blends in with the rest of the kaiju's body, making it hard to find and target her wings when they are tucked away. In any case she is able to fly by beating these wings rapidly, in an insect fashion to buzz around at high speed. Cessin is also able to flap them slowly, flying more like a bird or winged reptile, using the winds to soar and keep her body aloft for long periods of time. Using her horn as a battering ram the kaiju can mush her way into the soil and earth below her, burrowing  wherever she needs to go or escape from battle when she is unable to fly or take to the water. Cessin can swim extremely well, thrashing her tail back and forth to send her body smoothly through the water with a kind of silky grace. Under the waves she can hold her breath for three hours at a time and dive as deep as she wants with her flexible armor taking the pressure with ease. With all of this on her side the kaiju can go just about anywhere on the planet and be able to move freely, changing between any of her many modes of travel in a heartbeat to gain the advantage over other kaiju who are specialized to one environment.

Jousting Horn- Unlike many serpents or snake based kaiju, Cessin does not use her jaws in combat, at least not very often. Instead she relies on a sharp horn growth that sprouts from the center of her forehead. Sharp and spear like, she can slash it from side to side or use her long body as a slingshot to stab the horn into another kaiju. This is her most used weapon, letting the hybrid kaiju dart in and out of combat, leaving deep gashes all over the offending monster. The horn is made up of a fusion of scales and chitin, it is incredibly hard and can deal with vast amounts of pressure before cracking. Even if damaged, the armor can be healed within a day, meaning that Cessin is never left defenseless for long.

Insect Armor- Every inch of Cessin is covered in hard, yet flexible chitin, this lets her move freely in her many modes of transportation while still being protected. Her body can take several harsh blows before showing even a hint of cracking under the stress. And because of it's bendable nature, the armor will more often then not flex instead of holding solid against a hit, meaning that it distributes the force dropped on the armor evenly across a wide area. This makes sure that her body can remain as flexible as a true snakes as well as being as armored as some of the heavier monsters that roam the world.

Spiked Coils- Each segment of Cessin's coils has one spine on the top as well as two flanking the sides. This makes her rather hard to grapple with as a foe kaiju as the spikes tend to stab into soft hands and rip into any free flesh near them. This also means when the hybrid starts to constrict her prey the spikes  start to really dig in, though they are only light flesh wounds at best, there are quite a few of the small blades cutting at the same time. This makes her nearly impossible to remove once she has wrapped herself around something, be it living or not. Cessin, as any snake, has a very strong body and can fight it out with many other muscled bound monsters, her coils are strong enough to bind limbs together and a lash from her tail is as good as any punch from an armed being.

Swamp Breath- Due to the plant and animal matter that she consumes, Cessin's stomach bacteria creates a sulfur like gas from the slow rot and digestion of her meals. This is stored in a sort of second lung, which is more like a fish's swim bladder then a true lung. The gas is fairly light, helping Cessin fly and move around with great agility, in spite of her heavy armor that might bog her down normally. When needed she can cause the second lung to contract, spraying the gas into the air in a light yellow cloud of choking sulfur. This gas burns the eyes and skin of her foe, every breath her target takes in this cloud sets the monster's lungs on fire. This breath is utterly devastating to smaller creatures, killing them in moments, on kaiju it may not be lethal right away, but any monster who breaths it for too long will find it hard to think and longer exposure will render the kaiju unconscious.

Weakness:

Gas Dependent- To keep her speed and flight, Cessin needs to have a good amount of her gas stored in her body. If she goes too long without eating or uses her breath too much, the kaiju risks badly limiting herself and possible making it easy to take her down.

Finisher:
Swampy Grave- Using her breath to suffocate the already wounded kaiju, Cessin then sends a blast of sulfur at the ground under them to soften up the soil. Once that is done she will wrap her coils around her prey and pull the monster into the soft soil, at least up to the stomach or chest. She then coils up around the rest of the monster, binding the arms or any extra limbs with her body as she opens her wings up for balance, aiming a point blank blast of sulfur at the lift monster's body, snuffing out any remaining hints of life before settling in for a good meal.

Personality: Cessin likes nothing more then to swim around in her swampy home, keeping herself in the mud and muck. However, she is highly territorial and will greedily guard her favored home from any and all other giant monsters. She doesn't seem to mind humans in the slightest, ignoring them unless they try and attack her. Cessin keeps most of the east coast safe, bouncing between the Everglades and the other large swamps in the area. She is hailed as a hero, fighting off many other kaiju that try and make landfall along the coast or those from the mainland who try and attack the cities she sees as part of her territory. Cessin dislikes working together and would rather handle things on her own, but the monstrous hybrid isn't stupid enough to bite off more then she can chew, some times calling on other monsters such as Anatitora to help her keep the lands peaceful.

Description: The head of Cessin is rectangular in shape, the rectangle split down the center to form her well muscled jaws, built more for ripping and tearing then holding like most snakes. Inside her thick jaws are short rounded teeth, very thick and come to sharp points. These line her jaws and are covered in serrations, letting the kaiju cut through flesh with ease. Along the sides of the bottom jaw are a small line of spikes curved down, not long enough to be used as a true defense or hinder movement. Attached to the back of the kaiju's jaws are a pair of feelers, they act as small hands to maneuver food into her jaws and keep it held there. When not in use they tuck up against the rood of her mouth, folding neatly to stay out of the way. At the top of the skull there is a line of eyes, three pairs of them in fact. The top pair are the largest, having feline like slits for seeing in low light. The next pair are half that size, just smaller versions of the main pair as the last pair in the line are smaller still and carbon copies of the others. The eyes are all green in color and glow bright white when in the shadow. Just above Cessin's eyes, sitting in the center of her rectangular head is a long rounded spike with a sharp point, used as a spear or lance when in close combat. The horn does not stick out all that much, as Cessin still needs to keep her head light and easy to twist on a whim. Behind the snake's head is the beginning of her long body, cut into smaller triangle shaped sections, making up her very long body. Each and every section has a single spine on the top and one on the lower part of the sides. The spines can collapse down so that they hug the armored sides of each section, making sure they don't get caught on anything. About 1/3rd the way down her body, the sections have oval shaped depressions in the side of the sections. In side these little cavities are folded up centipede like legs, around eight pairs of them in fact. This lets them extend out and skitter across the ground like a normal insect or tuck out of the way, making sure they don't slow Cessin down when swimming or slithering. Above the first three part of leg ports is a thin half circle shaped bit of armor, it blends in to the rest of Cessin's shell, including stripes that mimic the small slits where each section comes together. This is the wing-cover for Cessin's rather delicate wings. When they need to fold out, the covers are flexible enough to be pushed out of the way by the wings. The wings themselves have the basic structure of a bat or some depictions of dragons, five thin finger like rods that keep the shape of the limb, between these rods are a chitin like substance, very similar to what makes up normal insect wings. The rods let the wing fold in on itself and lay perfectly flat under the wing-covers, without risk of being caught on stray claws of objects as the monster moves and fights in her swampy home. The sections begin to grow smaller until reaching the end of the tail, a small plate sitting on the end, it doesn't seem to have any real purpose. Over all the armor of Cessin is a dark forest green, covering nearly every inch of the kaiju. The legs are a light tan or brown, sticking out against her darker colors. The underside of the hybrid monster is a dark beetle like brown. Finally the wings are clear see-through with the rods being a slightly lighter green then that of the main body.

Origin: Cessin has been around for quite some time, at least 30 years. Her DNA is clearly tampered with, meaning that she had to of been created by a being of some sort. Some believe she is another mutant from the Mutalix race, others that she is a secret project from the military. Cessin might not be shaped by nature, but she lives in harmony in her swampy environments and protects all inside of her range.
(Ses-sin) Very simple. Her original name was "Interspect" a fusion of 'serpent' and 'insect' but I shortened it and messed around with the spelling until I got her current name.

Shocker beyond all shockers. This is in fact another chapter in the ARverse. Cessin acts as an extra hero, filling in when I need another stringer to help even things out. She doesn't like working with others, but you don't have much a choice when the bigger and stronger monsters come out to play. Once that happens, Ana is always willing to lend a wing and help the other kaiju out, the two have a strained truce.

She doesn't have many tributes, in fact, beyond the rectangular head that echos classic Shimaku's blocky head, she doesn't have any.

Cessin was a spark of muse. Fusing a centipede with a snake was the beginning. Then came the beetle horn, after that the 'dragon-fly' wings and finally the sulfur breath which I added when she became a loyal swamp defender.

All and all she is a favorite of mine, having an neat design as well as being my second snake kaiju, I'm quite happy with how she came out.
