Bubba returns

Description

Yet another returning monster from my original small series of monsters. BUBBA!

Now Bubba returned as I keep trying to think of that giant gravity sauropod and how to make it work. Safe to say, I don't think the sauropod is going to work. Not at this point in time.

Sketched out a lil of this and that, and finally I returned to Bubba. Things took off from there. Whale Kaiju are not unheard of, but there aren't too many either. Most are based of Orcas, which are a dolphin, and others are part of that whole "Gorilla Whale" joke that goes around. Others are whales that have arms and legs. Well I didn't want to go that route. Too expected and as Tyrantis already expressed his opinion of how it seems to be cheating just to give any creature a humanoid traits like arms and legs to kaijufy it.

So I kept Bubba the same as far as being a whale. No arms, no legs... Flippers only. Since I'm keeping the base, I had to come up with some other stuff to make this one stick out.
No mystery that I got the idea from Leviathan, the new species of Sperm Whale. In fact, Gilarah was the one that goaded me into it. But the old Bubba wasn't really all that interesting. Sperm Whale with Hermit Crab Barnacles. Good start from what many tell me.

Working from that was easier then I anticipated. I gave him an armored, ax-like head, and some armored scutes. Mainly made from carotene, like a Rhinos horn or human fingernails. It is a mammal, after all.
But there is more.
The Anchor Hermit Crabs return as well. Close relatives of Hook-claw Hermit Crabs. They come back as well, but there not alone. Along his tail are a parasitic species of Jellyfish that act like Remoras, which feed off his skin, other parasites that try to make anchor on him, or anything that passes. How many Jellyfish have made that role? None, that's how many. NONE.

Powers are still in the works, but I'm keeping the Ultrasound attack. Might be more aggressive toward humans this time around too. And to state, he may be the largest kaiju in all of DoM to date and ever will be... maybe. He IS a whale, after all.
