Bio: being the second daikaiju instance to appear 7 years after Tradontis, Stetloch quickly achieved a threat level of Midnight due to the intense 9.0 earthquakes caused by its emergence. Immense in size and possessing a nearly impenetrable hide this specimen is to remain isolated within its territory in the Yukon Mountain range. Displaying an unusually Aggressive towards anything of considerable size, Stetloch will go to great lengths to ensure the apex status it holds in its Territory. When undisturbed the Creature is docile in its grazing and prone to bouts of extended hibernation. Due to its frequency inactivity and low aggression a number of {{redacted}} have begun forming within the territory. Known Cells pose a threat to Containment efforts of USECA and put general public in danger.
Current observation reveals Stetloch to possess an omnivorous diet preferring to graze on the tops of trees but occasionally stealing the kill of lesser predators and indulging himself.
While Omnivorous This kaiju poses a low threat to human settlement due to its large size proving to be an asset in avoiding its path. While possessing a threat level of midnight it is suggested by researchers that this kaiju be left to its own devices given its behavior. All containment procedures are to keep Stetloch in isolation from other kaiju following incident-002. How this creature provides enough energy to sustain itself is currently unknown.
Among conflict deterrent kaiju Stetloch will utilize his clubbed tail in a show of aggression, launching dislodged pieces of earth around himself. If undeterred Stetloch will utilize a number of anomalous abilities that can affect the earth's crust within a 15-mile radius of the kaiju. While the main source of this creature's control over the earth remains a mystery, some secrets to its Biology have been unlocked. Through observation of Combat with Unit-001, {{REDACTED}} and {{REDACTED}} it has been concluded that Stetloch Has the ability to absorb the kinetic energy of an attack and redistribute it in a devastating blow of his own.
Abilities/Powers:

Radioactive metabolism: Due to the high levels of irradiated material in the climate in which he originated, Stetloch has a specially evolved absorption rate that renders nuclear weapons useless against him as radiation will be converted to excess energy to use later on.

Earthen shield: Due to this creature prolonged hibernations periods underground, multiple layers of differing rocks have built up a thick armor on this creature back rendering it invulnerable to conventional weaponry. Stetloch can also utilize a small field of attraction to cover himself in more earth thickening his shield leaving his skin near impenetrable to other Daikaiju Instances as well as all weaponry.

Gravitational Mastery: It has been discovered that Most of Stetlochs abilities are not in fact control over the earth, but control over a local field of gravity that can only be accessed by this kaiju. Records from the {{redacted}} incident have revealed that affected objects can increase in weight up to 1200x their original weight. Instances of such effects have proven to be a danger to the public and it is advised that all forces refrain from missile fire when this ability is in use. This gravitational manipulation has also been observed to affect the mass of the kaiju itself. It seems that Stetloch can change its own weight at will. In doing so this allows the massive creature to become quite agile for a moment to gain momentum and return with a crushing weight that can shake the earth. It is currently unknown if there are any limits to the weight this creature can achieve without detriment to itself.


Kinetic Absorption: potentially the deadliest feat observed within any dakaiju instance, Stetloch shows the ability to store kinetic energy within its body and redistribute it within its own attacks. This has resulted in the destruction of {{redacted}} and {{redacted}} both blamed on cat.9 earthquakes. It is currently unknown how the creature stores or disperses the energy, a;; that is known is that it uses this ability at will. It must be noted that this ability seems to only be used in situations that put it under extreme stress. While human encounters are not worthy of the absorption encounters with other daikaiju seem to always be

Tectonic Smash: rating above a 9 on the Richter scale this has been observed to be One of stetlochs most powerful attacks The kaiju is able to charge up energy within its forearms before lifting itself up on its hind legs and delivering a crushing slam that is capable of throwing up massive hunks of loose earth.. this can completely upheave the ground around it, causing major damage to any nearby structures. it is suggested that standard earthquake protocols be enacted after encounter of attack
Canyon Grinder: Stetloch is a powerful burrower that can create massive canyons.

Using its massive forearms and head to push away earth and dirt along with anything else in its way this creature is able to care deep groves into the earth in which it uses as shelter for a period of time. It has been noted that as it makes it migration it will sometimes carve up to 4 new canyons along the way revisiting them in future migrations. The kaiju also has the ability to control the walls of the canyon sizing it to its liking. This proves a danger to society as the kaiju is prone to closing the walls of the canyon in on intruders as it makes a retreat resulting and small towns completely enveloped within the earth
