Hive Tyrant
This monstrous creature is a lumbering kaijan that terrorizes the badlands and prairies bordering the great desert. The Hive Tyrant’s bulky body resembles that of an elephant, with a head more akin to a rhinoceros’s. Its rancid breath smells of rotting carcasses, and its back along its ridged spine is riddled with large, knobby growths pushing out from inside its flesh. These growths are, in fact, enormous wasp hives that are the home of vast clouds of angry, stinging insects the size of melons.
