Kaiju (Pod) A joint project between the genehackers of Fortean & the resurrectionists of Sky Ark, the Kaiju morph is primarily derived from gorilla & whale genestocks. The Kaiju was originally developed as a sort of proof of concept for bulking up the size of neogenetic creations that both organizations produce. Without the transgenic traits developed from the Kaiju’s production, the dinosaurs of Sky Ark & some of the cryptids of Fortean wouldn’t be much larger than sheep. The result is a hulking, primeval monster that looks as if it lumbered out of Ray Harryhausen film. The Kaiju is roughly dinosaurian in appearance despite being wholly mammalian, with rough, pebbly skin & massive jaws filled with jagged teeth. Standing upright at eight meters tall, dragging its four meter tail behind it as it walks, and a pair of short, but powerful arms. Users of Kaiju morphs frequently complain about the lack of impulse control that occurs when sleeved in the morph, as if one is compelled to go on a rampage.
