THE RAVAGER (aka Giant Ape, aka Shimen Kolata)

This is one of the smallest Kaiju. It was originally called a giant ape by the humans but later given the moniker of Ravager due to it ravaging its way through towns, villages and cities.



Height: 40m

Primary Role: Front line assault

Abilities: Very agile in forests such as the Redwoods in California, USA, and adept at using tall structures in cities as cover.

Description: Normally a friendly species. They have a simian appearance. Their hair is a mix of browns and blacks, with blue feet, hands and chest.

Background: The Shimen Kolata are native to the world of Byndazii. Byndazii is a temperate world, with a mix of desert, mountains, jungles, and arctic tundra located on a few large continents. There are also many islands spread throughout the ocean. The Shimen Kolata prefer to inhabit the rain forests and mountainous terrain. The rain forests on Byndazii can reach over 100m in height. 

The Shimen Kolata enjoy leaping and climbing about these trees. There is another intelligent species on Byndazii called the Ferook. Where the Shimen Kolata are 40m tall, the Ferook are about 2m tall and also simian in appearance. The Ferook have a light coating of striped and spotted fur that is unique to their species, much like the Shimen Kolata. 

When Sazzarran "diplomats" appeared on Byndazii, they were amazed at the variety of species, especially the Shimen Kolata, when they were able to see them. It seemed the Shimen Kolata were a timid sort, considering their size. Bit it was soon found that they are protective and very ferocious when they, and especially their family, is threatened.

The Sazzarran engaged in conversation with the Ferook, which was mainly sign language and took many months for their linguists to understand. The Sazzarran wanted the Ferook to help them capture some of the Shimen Kolata, but the Ferook would have nothing to do with it. The two species lived well together and preferred to leave one antoher alone. When the Sazzarran started to threaten and torture some of the Ferook, the Shimen Kolata took notice and attacked the Sazzarran.

Many of the Sazzarran were slaughtered, but so were some of the Shimen Kolata and many Ferook. The remainder of the Sazzarran departed Byndazii, only to return with a much larger force and manage to capture many of the Shimen Kolata as well as the Ferook. 

It was later that the Sazzarran scientists discovered that the Shimen Kolata and the Ferook were of the same species. Apparently, after many years of adulthood, the Ferook depart their community and disappear into the rain forests and mountains. Over a period of several years, they eventually grow into the Shimen Kolata. 

When nature calls, the Ferook respond and have to leave their community or risk causing damage and suffering to their people when they start growing and become less intelligent.  The Sazzarran can now tap into that resource as much as possible when they need a pool of war beasts for their invasion of new worlds.
