Name: Insidious/The Blackened Dove
Species: Alien Mutation
Alignment: Grand Alliance
Height: 90 m (hunched)
Length: N/A
Mass: 55,000 tons (particularly larger, but less mobile “Biollante”-type)
Wingspan: N/A
Abilities:
1. Regeneration – Rank 1: Insidious can regenerate her fluid, rotting/easily destructible body parts, and some extra wounds at a higher rate.
2. Resistance to Pain – Rank 1: Insidious, due to the nature of her powers, does feel pain, but does not care much about it at all.
3. Poison Immunity – Rank 1: Insidious is resistant to other venoms, aside from her own.
4. Improved Melee Weapons – Rank 1: Insidious’s “feathers” can easily gain quite a bit of momentum and mass to strike foes powerfully.

Attacks:
1. Acidic Spray – Rank 1: Insidious’s mucus is fairly acidic, and can be propelled at her foe from virtually any of her mucus-producing spines, as well as flicked from her tendrils.
2. Acidic Fluid – Rank 1: All her fluid is mildly acidic in the first place, and so getting in close contact with her can be dangerous for long periods. The maggot “blood” also has an effect similar to acid, eating away at anything possible.
3. Absorption – Rank 1: Nutrients drained away from foes submerged in her mucus returns to her. Note that the mucus has to have some clear path back to her, via any form of strand, to drain; a small splash on the foe will be acidic but not life-draining.
4. Hemotoxin Injection – Rank 1: Insidious’s mucus typically finds its way into a body through proboscis skewering, but she isn’t beyond just ramming a tendril of it down some opening she views, either. It generally isn’t what the doctor ordered.
5. Neurotoxin Injection – Rank 1: See above.

Special Ability:
1. Raise the Dead: Not quite literally, but one of Insidious’s more questionable powers involves the use of electricity. While she cannot generate enough electricity to deal actual, direct damage to targets, she is however capable of directing it to very specific, fine areas of the body. By causing various muscles in a body to twitch and convulse on a large scale, she can literally fire trails of lightning from her neck spines to a corpse/unconscious body and lift it up to motion. While this is not perfect – literally, the body staggers around almost drunkenly – it can be used as a meatshield, a distraction, or kamikaze attack. She can also fire this at a conscious, living foe, which tends to cause pain and nerve damage; however, due to conflicting body signals, it tends to have no more result than an exceedingly painful seizure. This, obviously, does little to full machines, and only works if there is a direct path from her spines to the body. She can typically, accurately guide only one object at a time, though for quite a while, and she cannot kept it trained on a living foe for too long, as they tend to start shrugging it off.
Weakness:
1. Lack of Celerity: While Insidious’s attacks suffer from no such detriment, her main body itself, due to mass, lack of limbs, and just its general deteriorating state, is slow. As hell. Not only does it make it a fairly easy target, foes can take advantage of her body’s constant disintegration to knock her off balance with ease.
Finisher:
1. Cannibalism: Drawing on all the nutrients and life she has drained, she spills a combination of mucus and flesh out of her chest cavity, forming it into a vaguely hand like shape, before reaching out with the appendage to grasp a foe. While wildly rotting as well, the hands’ regeneration rate is such that it becomes virtually indestructible, and grasps the foe tightly while she then proceeds to fire a massive stream of fluids, maggots, mucus, and most of her body mass at the target, completely engulfing it and leaving not much behind of herself aside from spines and head. The target is swiftly decayed and devoured by the maggots, more than making up for the energy waste, before her body reforms.
Personality:
Despite her alliance and overall appearance, Insidious is not directly malicious to other large kaiju, nor is she a mindless “devourer;” the Dove merely comes across as more of a mildly sadistic schemer mainly focused on furthering her own consumption and intake. She goes as she pleases, happily rotting away everything within reach, and typically ignoring all but the most persistent military efforts – and even then, her most aggressive response to this is typically just slogging over and squatting on them until they all die. However, she will gleefully reduce objects to rubble and ruin, and if she encounters another living thing much smaller or weaker to her, she will also consume them, with visible pleasure from the act.
If she encounters something comparable, she will typically ignore it until it attacks; yet, if it turns its back on her for too long, she may strike at it as well. Regardless of either matter of initiating conflict, her fighting style is the same, happily sitting in one area and smashing away with her tendrils, focused on spreading out her area of influence and sneaking in rear attacks. She tends to constantly advance in a battle, and try to pull foes in, in an attempt to use her large bulk to her advantage. Likewise, when used in conjunction with her allies, she will not deliberately help them, even if they are struggling. However, she will take advantage of distracted foes to joyfully strike them down. She is also very self-destructive, and possibly a bit masochistic, willing to sacrifice body parts to attack: to an extent, even if another kaiju was ripping her apart, she would be equally focused on trying to devour them simultaneously, her mouth fixed in its fanged grin. Basically comes up to an Intelligenct Level.
Description:
Insidious, having a rather accurate name and depiction, is in essence a kaiju of corruption and pollution, the incarnation of science without morality. Bearing the nickname “The Blackened Dove,” as a rather droll touch from its creators and an obvious jab at the worldwide symbol of peace and purity, it takes the form of a hulking, nauseating, and rather slow – but still dangerous – alien mutant, covered in pasty white, constantly disintegrating, reforming, and scabbing flesh. While technically sexually androgynous, the kaiju is often referred to in the feminine by her makers, just as the dove is also typically considered a “she.”
Not truly a zombie, but not truly alive, the majority of Insidious’s body suffers from a constant decaying factor; however, despite this, she seems to have a very strong form of regeneration and pain immunity solely for dealing with its own self-inflicted wounds. Looking somewhat like a kaiju-sized, pale white drowned corpse, and having flesh with the vague consistency and appearance of water-stained rubber, large flakes of her continually peel off and crumble away, chunks fall off to crush nearby objects at the slightest movement, and she leaves behind, for humans, a massive flood of internal fluids and pieces just by sloughing along; and yet there is always more body parts to be lost, even as parts of her abdomen spill away. This, obviously, reduces her mobility quite a bit, and causes most of her body’s recognizable features – barring objects such as the head, spikes, etc. – to be treated as destroyable-replaceable objects.
Insidious’s stance is relatively humanoid, and bears some degree of a hunchback when moving, constantly leaning forwards. When still, she straightens up to her mildly imposing height, showing first a rounded, human-like head. It bears some demonic aspects, being somewhat streamlined forwards, and lacking any visible ears or hair. Both eyes are red and serpentine, and neither seem to have any real focus, typically looking in any direction BUT where the body is going. The right half of the face bears large “spikes” of flesh, covered in protruding, five to ten meter scabs that jut out and follow the contours of the head back, barely leaving an opening for the eye to be seen. The mouth also appears demonic, filled with sharp, short fangs, but is rarely seen, due to a large, twenty meter or so “proboscis” that takes the place of her nose. This does not curl and is not malleable, being merely a short, sharp, and hollow, bladed-weapon type spear that drops straight down vertically.
The Dove’s shoulders are rather broad and human like, but she lacks arms, or any true “wings” for that matter. However, a large, grayish spike, thick and about fifteen meters in length, made apparently of metal, sticks out of each shoulder. These are not used as weapons, but instead produce a thick, semi-translucent blue, mucus-like fluid in ridiculously immense qualities that is Insidious’s main calling card. Three more of these spines, about ten meters each, jut backwards from her lower extremities, creating some disgusting sort of “tail feathers,” and a ring of these encircle her neck as a sort of plumage; electricity crackles between these during the utilization of her main Special Ability. This mucus (usable forms of its powers denoted in the appropriate section) is incredibly unhealthy for everything it touches, herself included, and is a fairly strong acid. In addition, it rapidly causes most things it touches to begin decaying and rapidly reduces them to nothing much at all, creating a multitude of virulent molds and spores in the process and generally polluting the surrounding air for humans. These nutrients are then drained to the kaiju herself, presumably used to supply the strength needed for keeping the body together; even inorganic objects, such as metals, submerged objects can be reduced to their composite elements given enough time. Consumption of this liquid, obviously, proves unhealthy, though kaiju and their larger size are typically much less fatally afflicted by it overall then humans in its vicinity.
While much of this fluid is constantly lost into surroundings, the Dove also seems to have very solid and control and manipulation of it, hence making up for the lack of limbs. Three long, thick tentacle-like strands of mucus dangle from each shoulder, draping far over the ground and being dragged along, almost like feathers. These can be moved at will, and also hardened into something resembling the consistency of metal, serving the manipulate objects and as weapons. These also form a solid stream behind the “tail feathers.” Insidious is capable of raising more tendrils from various forms of her own body, and can even bring them in various forms – including spikes/spines – from fluid lost into the floor. As a battle drags on (or if she stays in a location for too long), the surrounding ground tends to be reduced to a sodden, blackened, rotting mass, not only creating a swamp-like environment for everyone and herself but also letting her summon tendrils from just about everywhere.
Her chest, just as wide as her shoulders, sticks out a bit, as if a bird was puffing it out; however, it is clearly hollow, and from the front appears to be a matrix of brownish, spiky, and exceedingly thin and brittle bone that also constantly falls out as well. The chest cavity it reveals is hollow, but shows several key features: namely, while she seems to lack bones overall, at the bottom of her layers of dying flesh is a thin exoskeleton, and that her blood seems to consist mainly of the mucus...and maggots. Large creatures about as tall as humans and as long as two or three trucks back to back, they actually resemble giant leeches more than anything else, all fanged mouth and nothing else. These also slither and writhe through her body, and spill out of her chest quite commonly. From her waist down, it can be seen that she does have a pair of legs, per se; however, she cannot stand on them, and they simply drag along beneath her bulky mass, falling apart and regenerating ad infinitum. They are typically concealed by the tidal waves of mucus and maggots from her upper body, and more often then not, she is sunk a good ten or so meters in to the moist, dead earth she trundles through.
Origin:
The alien creators of Insidious were always particular amused by the conceptions and beliefs of humanity. They came to Earth with the intention of scientific research, by any means possible; yet, as they researched human culture, they found many self-imposed boundaries and setbacks created by the humans. The creations of humanity could be so much further than they were; yet ethics, religion, funding (or lack thereof), and various acts of government money-squandering were known for holding back. The aliens failed to grasp the reasons for these, nor many other beliefs or taboo of the people: why was symbolism so important? A single sign, for little reason, could incite courage or fear, passion or hate; why were so many trivial things and subjects avoided.
In a small moment of twisted humor, alien scientists working on kaiju engineering decided to send a mock-kaiju to Earth, if only to see how those hairless monkeys would react. While toying around with various manners to enhance regeneration, they tried sacrificing various means of defense or attack for a stronger, faster recovery. At one point, they lost a bit too much of the former, and Insidious was made, a monster that quite lacked the structural integrity needed to survive. However, several more experiments were made, and the monster was made somewhat self-sustaining. Considering it useless, and noting some minor parallels with the customs of Earth, they sent it to the front lines…where it has proved contrary to their own beliefs.
