" they don't really know what it is, but after busting from that big ass crystal it's become apparent to me This thing is some sorta God. or the next best thing from what i can guess. They said it kick started some Permian extinction event. They are worried that it can trigger another extinction event if left unchecked. I think this "Tradontis" signifies a new age. An age without humanity."

Bio: The First Kaiju to Awaken in the Modern Era, Tradontis marks a dramatic change to the course of human history. Holding one of the highest threat levels given by the U.S.E.C.A((United states environmental containment agency)) Tradontis is one of the most dangerous lifeforms on the planet if provoked. The creature now resides comfortably within the Kofa mountain range of the Yuma desert. Digging out a comfortable lava pit for himself, Tradontis is prone to staying within his own territory. Due to its Highly territorial and violent nature, being prone to attacking anything it deems a threat, USECA has deemed most of the southern parts of the Sonoran Desert unfit for human life. Constructing a number of Forts along the boundaries of the territory the agency enforces a strict travel ban on areas as south as the Sonoran peninsula and as east as Sinaloa. Although the danger is clear and present, this is still not enough to deter some people from attempting to survive the harsh climate and the Tyrant who rules it.
Tradontis is powered with an intense inner ferocity and an anomalous ability to harness the power of the earths molten core. When enraged, actions that are considered unnatural and unique in nature by the agency are observed to manifest in a variety of different offensive or defensive volcanic based capabilities. among its most mysterious abilities is the origins of its massive amounts of energy and internal heating system.it is theorized by Dr.{{redacted}} and Dr.{{redacted}} that among being able to absorb heat from nearby sources through its skin, that the noticeable sail is also a means of gaining energy throughout the day by absorbing sunlight. These hypotheses are the closest scientist have come to understanding "the internal heating system." It is known however that Tradontis is a carnivorous creature with notable saber like canines, and has been observed hunting {{redacted}} within the Gila National forest
when encountering another kaiju Tradontis will rise into a battle-ready position on his hind legs and begin positioning his sail to potentially ward off an opponent. If the opposing kaiju is not deterred then Tradontis will slam his armored tail down on the ground and begin generating heat while charging into battle. When in combat He is quick to alternate between devastating melee attacks and his more paranormal abilities. Due to the constant output of energy by this kaiju it is unknown how long this kaiju could sustain himself in continuous battle

Abilities/Powers:
Radioactive metabolism: Due to the high levels of irradiated material in the climate in which he originated, Tradontis has specially evolved absorption rate that renders nuclear weapons useless against him as radiation will be converted to excess energy to use later on.
Krakatoan- Roar:
A Roar that erupts from this kaiju with a force so great that it has the power to tear islands apart. Accompanying this devastating roar, all vents on tyros begin emitting a plume of smoke that reaches 17 miles into the atmosphere, according to the only geologist to survive the Yellowstone incident, You could use this observation to calculate that stuff spewed out of the volcano at over 1,600 miles per hour—or nearly half a mile per second, more than twice the speed of sound. The sound made by this volcanic roar is so loud it is reported to have ruptured eardrums of people 50 miles away, traveled around the world four times, and was clearly heard 5,000 miles away.
Volcanic Rage: one of his main projectile attacks, this beam of fire is measured to burn at a temperature of about 6500 degrees Celsius upon immediate expulsion from his mouth. The explosion caused from the beam being fired can be registered at 165 decibels. The equivalent of Boeing 727, at takeoff. this attack also releases a wave of heat that reaches a maximum temperature of 350 degrees F for a period no less than 12 seconds. Any living thing {{non kaiju}} exposed when the attack is first initiated will have its skin boiled and eardrums completely ruptured.
Ultramafic-blast: Similar to some species of birds {{most notably turkey vultures}} Tradontis is capable of ejecting the contents of all 4 of his internal "digestion" chambers onto foes. The resulting ultramafic lava{s} and several other previously undiscovered acidic chemicals proceed to burn the afflicted area at a temperature at no less than 1,600 C. weaker material that comes into contact with this liquid mixture will dissolve while stronger material will bubble and singe for hours or however long contact remains.
Pyro-Clastic Cloud: An ash cloud of fluctuating size. Made up of tiny mineral particles with sharp, jagged edges and a hardness that has been measured minimum of +7 on the Moh's scale of hardness. This material is constantly being pushed from the 4 exhaust vents located on his shoulders. This material has been observed to cause serious damage to aircraft within 75-mile radius causing engine failure. Human cities within a 25-mile radius will experience mild ash fall resulting in injury to skin but relatively no casualties. Human cities within a 10-mile radius experience heavier ash fall that causes significant more damage and extreme loss of human life as being exposed for more than 5 minutes to the falling ash will cover victims and rendering them immobile as they are slowly covered in ash, creating ghost towns filled with ash statues still fleeing for their lives

Pyro-clastic lighting: SomehowHarnessing the electric charge that is generated by the mineral particles inthe ash cloud, Tradontis is able to direct of super charged lightning throughthe large spines and out the main nasal horn resulting in a serious of powerfulexplosions onto the targeted foe. The lightning generated has a recordedtemperature of 65,265 K{{116990.33 F}} and been observed to create explosions with a blast radius nolarger than 184 Meters.

Various flame projectiles: Alongwith the Volcanic rage projectile,Tradontis is able to produce a variety of unique flame based projectiles. Most notably massivefire bombs, a significantly weaker flame projectile that is usually reservedfor hunting down prey. Tradontis is also able to produce a massive cloud ofhaze from the Gular-esque sac hanging from his chin that can be as hot as 371degrees Celsius. {{700 Fahrenheit}} Hyper Beam*See meltdown*

Other Notable abilities(s): Magma-Chamber"digestion" system: The Diet of Tradontis is one that is unique to theplanet. During carbon intake periodsTradontis will begin ingesting massiveamounts of carbon material. While any material will suffice Meat seems to be afavorite of this Kaiju. During these periods of hunger {{which can last up to25 years}} Tradontis becomes highly aggressive and will attack any largecreature attempting to rip off any bit of meat it can. The digestive system isunique is due to the photosynthetic organelles ingested with plant life beingstored in the massive sail for energy creation. All other organic material ingestedis melted down with a power acid likechemical in 1 of the 4 chambers while the other 3 are dedicated to themolten magma formed from all otherinorganic material.
Solar-synthesis: Themassive sail contains Trillions of Photosynthetic organelle like structures tthat are believed to originate from plant-life ingested during "CarbonIntake". being Hyper-evolved by thecells of the sail, these organelles not only last an unusually long time butcan reproduce at astounding rates, repairing any damage done to the sail in amatter of minutes. Capable of converting solar rays into energy, this provides the rest of the kaiju with the stamina required to make the quick movements that are vital to its ferocious attack style

Heat Control: Through unknown means Tradontis is able to generate andexpel intense heat from his body via theventilation system running down his tail. The heat expelled begins melting theconcrete around the creature, causing nearby structures to collapse and in turnmelt themselves adding to the newly formed Lava pit. in addition to expelling Heat, Tradontis has the unique ability toabsorb heat through his skin. Rendering all flame-based attacks futile, theheat absorbed is redistributed to the rest of the body. In times of conflictthis ability is used to provide moreenergy and heat to his own attacks.

Melee components: Even without the use of its Anomalousheat-based attacks, Tradontis is equipped with enough brute strength andferocity to bring down the strongest of kaiju. The jaws of Tradontis are athreat to anything caught between them. With a crushing bite force of 966,225psi anything caught between these saber-toothed jaws will be crushed. Powerful neck muscles also give Tradontispower over anything in his grip, usually violently shaking it...
The claws of Tradontis partnered withthe brute strength of the kaiju are enough to reduce mountains to rubble uponcollision and leave deep scaring on other kaiju.
Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of Tradontis, the Thagomizer tipped tail. With extensive control of his tail Tradontisuses the armored appendage as a club which is utilized to bludgeon opponentsinto a bloody pile of meat and blood
