Tsunamuses are giant oceanic kaijan that resemble giant shrimp with lobster pincers and the heads of crocodiles. When a Tsunamus approaches shore, the amount of water it dislodges is believed to cause tremendous tidal waves that threaten to destroy coastal infrastructure. Luckily, Tsunamuses tend to keep to their watery domains and scarcely venture near the coast.
