Description Normally I'd go into a huge speel about my characters but not this time. The history and story behind this guy are all on seperate deviations I submitted prior to this. I warn you, the story was initially going to be short but I couldn't help myself and soon it was a whopping 7 chapters long. This is my entry for ~TyrantisTerror 's contest. Took me a good three weeks to get every thing ready and my arm hurts like hell. Anyway, heres some basic bio stuff for him.

Name: Gayan Ahijit (hindi for 'sky conqueror of the serpent' )
Height: 70 metres
Weight: 10,000 tons
Wingspan: 250 metres
Air Speed: Mach 1-17
Species: Radiant Eagle
Birth Place: Mt. Kangchenjunga (India).

Powers:
- Fairly intelligent.
- Can fire concentrated solar energy in the form of a beam
- Can generate intense sonic booms during flight.
- Feathers serve as resistant armor to most conventional weaponry
- Feathers work like solar panels to absorb incredible amounts of UV radiation
-Metallic armor of unknown material can shred steel as well as flesh. Its beak, wings and talons are razor sharp and can pierce 50 ft. of solid granite with little effort.
-Can fire its feathers in deadly volleys, the razor sharp projectiles acting like giant throwing knives.
- Has an above average regeneration factor, strongest in the production of feathers.
- Superior sense of sight can carry up to twice its own body weight.
- Can issue a super sonic screech capable of shattering ear drums and buildings alike.
-Can generate hurricane force winds with its wings.
-As a last line of defense it can convert its entire life force into a globe of energy which it use to fire a larger than life solar beam or use it as a catalyst in conjunction with the sun to create a solar flare on the planets surface. Capable of effectively wiping out most life on the planet at the expense of its own survival.

Weakness's:
- In the air it has a major advantage, it doesn't fight as well on the ground. Can't swim worth shit.
- Powers are largely relient on the sun. If the sun goes down, it can no longer fire its solar beam without drawing on its own life force.
-Feathers are durable but not inpenetrable. Heavy melee attacks can find a way through and cause damage.
-If it uses its Razor Feather Storm too much at once it can disable its ability to fly for a time.
- Has an incredible hatred for serpents and reptiles. Will kill them on sight with no provocation.
- If the proper rites are followed, Gayan's wrath can delivered onto entire civilizations. Thus to an extent, he can be controled.

Saw this in a suggestion and... I just noticed how Garuda this kaiju is. India, conqueror of serpents, etc. Epic. Phenoraixa and Grimm's KCELL brotha-from-anotha-mutha.

Ironically enough, Gayan is the origin of Garudas and Harpys.

Harpies, eh? I don't see how thats possible since he doesn't look that human. Then again, Godzilla was a "Gorilla Whale" and yet he does not resemble it.

In the new bio I put out (this pic is the first take on Gayan made for TT's contest, it is no longer canon) It explains the connection Gayan has to the Garuda and Harpy. If you go check it out and give it a read it should make more sense.

Whoah, I didn't realize how alike this guy and my Kaiju were.

Well, they are alike in the fact that they are total opposites, Gayan lives in the sun and it is where he is most powerful. My Corvosaurus Rex dwels in the darkness of storm clouds, sort of a yin and yang thing, light and dark if you will.

Enough about that.

Now I love the hole look of this guy and as Tyrantis said, there just aren't enough kick-ass bird kaiju around.

Thanks . I really need to draw him again. Probably after I get the Heavenly Fang Kaiju all squared away I'll take another crack at him. Despite all the work I put into him he isn't quite 'eagle' enough for me. They have hard faces to get right and I never used any references when I drew him. Him and Corv are ironically total opposites yet somewhat similar. MM should do an epic battle of them or something. I'm too busy with college stuff . As for bird kaiju, we can add Scatha's recent Hatoji into the ranks too.

Indeed, we must have the battle of sun and cloud.

But as you said, there are things to do and time for that later.

Also, the Gayan in this pic looks a bit more like a falcon now that I'm looking at him and I see what you mean about needing to "eagle" him up a bit.

My favorite thing about this guys is that he looks so damn heroic. This kaiju looks like he'd talk like an Arthurian knight and be a perfect gentleman.

Then you read the story and find out he's a total bastard. That is some delicious irony. I loves me my irony.

Also, it is beautifully drawn in all regards. And kudos for using the snake's natural enemy, an eagle, as the base for your kaiju. Not only does it make a hell of a lot of sense, but it also helps with the critical lack of avian kaiju. Well done all around.

A million thanks man. This is what I like about this little community of ours. Other artists notice things in your work, that you yourself, didn't realize when making it. We do need more biodiversity in the Kaiju food chain don't we? Its kind of annoying when the lead monster in every series is some kind of carniverous dinosaur. Building off your Arthurian knight idea, you could think of him as the kaiju equivilent of the holy grail. Whoever gets him on their side first wins. The snake vs. eagle thing also ties into the indian god Garuda; who was known to be a slayer of serpents and dragons in service of higher powers.
