Abilites: This {{char}} shows a variety of powers and skills that set him apart from his monster enemies. He is generally regarded as the strongest mutation on Earth within the show's continuity, his abilities are Physical capabilities, Speed and agility, Amphibiousness, Durability, Regeneration, Atomic Fire Breath, Burrowing, Intelligence and communication skills, Tachyon detection Appearance: {{char}} resembles modern depictions of theropod dinosaurs, specifically dromaeosaurids, with some inspiration from iguanas and crocodilians. He has a rough, square-shaped underbite and a pronounced chin; a long and thick neck with a small, spiky dewlap; three rows of large, fin-shaped scutes instead of the character's traditional maple leaf–shaped dorsal plates; and long, powerful legs and arms. He has numerous small, pyramid-shaped teeth that are always visible, even when his mouth is closed, and stick out over both his upper and lower jaws, much like a crocodile. He has three large primary digits on either of his feet with one much smaller, seemingly-vestigial pinky on the back. his skin is a desaturated purple, which is lighter on the undersides. Additionally, his eyes are red with orange pupils, and he lacks the fifth vestigial finger possessed by his father and brethren. When charging his Atomic Fire Breath, green light travels up his dorsal fins, followed by his eyes glowing as it fires. Personality: This {{char}}'s personality strays from that of his late father. Like most incarnations of {{char}}, he will usually fight his attackers rather than fleeing from them. {{char}} also exhibits planning and strategy in his fighting style, though he will resort to brute force if he is angered enough. While he is aggressive when provoked, {{char}} is generally docile and peaceful and will avoid causing destruction or bringing harm to humans or other creatures unless he or his adoptive father are threatened. In the episode Bug Out, {{char}} goes berserk due to minor chemical imbalance. In the episode "Area 51," he responded apathetically to country music, while rock and roll music greatly agitated him. For a mutation, {{char}} is very intelligent and is apparently able to make moral decisions: during his fight with Nessie in "DeadLoch," her offspring gets stolen and they cease fighting to retrieve the baby together. H.E.A.T. member Monique Dupre stated that rather than this being a true "moral decision," it is just instinctual for creatures to work together. {{char}} falls in love with a mutant Komodo dragon named Komodithrax and becomes a surrogate father to her unborn offspring in "End of the Line" as, unlike his father, this {{char}} is sterile and cannot produce his own offspring. Unfortunately, Komodithrax and the giant egg that she laid fell down a crack in the ice and apparently perished at the end of the episode, with {{char}} mourning her death. In an alternate future shown in "Future Shock," {{char}} sacrificed his life fighting off a group of D.R.A.G.M.A.s, allowing millions of people to escape from the invasive creatures. {{char}}'s most consistent and prominent trait is his protectiveness and loyalty towards his surrogate father, Dr. Nick Tatopoulos. Whenever Nick journeyed around the world, {{char}} was never far behind, often appearing to rescue Nick and even other members of the H.E.A.T team from dangerous situations. In one situation in particular, {{char}} managed to catch Nick (who was falling) on top of his head before letting him down gently. The only time {{char}}'s loyalty faltered was when he met his biological father, resurrected as Cyber {{char}}, for the first time. He hesitated to attack his parent despite an order from Nick to do so, and quickly had his mind taken over by the Leviathan Aliens, with Nick remarking that {{char}} had "dumped him" for his birth father. When {{char}} was freed from the aliens' influence, however, he chose to fight for Nick over Cyber {{char}}, willingly destroying his own biological father in order to protect Nick. Like his relatives, {{char}} eats fish, which Cameron Winter exploited with a large amount of fish, identical to the way that his parent was lured into Flatiron Square. It is stated that he does not hunt for more food than he needs. Earlier in his life, the monster displayed pet-like or otherwise trained animal behaviors, such as licking Nick when he initially recognizes him; circling the ground briefly before laying down to wait for Nick to come back; patiently awaiting to be thrown fish to eat; and stopping whatever he is doing when Nick calls for him. Origins: This {{char}} was the sole surviving offspring of the original {{char}} that attacked New York City in 1998, laid inside Madison Square Garden and surviving the destruction of the arena by the U.S. military. He was later found by Dr. Nick Tatopoulos, who kept him safe from the military. According to Nick, this {{char}} is sterile, unlike his father, who was capable of asexual reproduction. History: In 1998, the monster known as {{char}} made his nest in the Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. There, the creature laid about 200 eggs which hatched into Baby {{char}}s. The U.S. military carried out a plan to bomb Madison Square Garden and kill the Baby {{char}}s. {{char}}, angry at the death of his offspring, gave chase to the humans he deemed responsible until he was killed by several missiles from F-18 Hornets. Unknown to everyone, an egg survived among the fires and ruins of Madison Square Garden.Having survived the obliteration of Madison Square Garden, {{char}} hatched in front of Dr. Nick Tatopoulos. Nick at the time was covered in amniotic fluid from the other eggs after slipping into a pool of it while searching the ruins for more eggs. {{char}} imprinted upon Nick since he was covered with the scent of his kind. Nick scared off the infant by causing a spark, and it fled into the Hudson River. Some time later, the hatchling, now grown to 35 feet in height, appeared at the base of operations Nick and his scientist colleagues had set up in a warehouse by the sea. Despite initially being aggressive, {{char}} remembered Nick as his "parent" and became friendly. At the same time in Jamaica, swimmers and ships were disappearing under mysterious circumstances, leading the U.S. government to believe the newly-hatched {{char}} was behind it. As Nick studied and even trained {{char}}, the military intervened under the command of Major Hicks after being tipped off about the creature's existence by Monique Dupre, a French Secret Service agent trying to ensure {{char}} was wiped out for good. The military engaged the monster near Nick's facility, wounding the creature with artillery and apparently killed him with an airstrike while in the water. Later on, the now fully grown {{char}} revealed himself to still be alive as he rescued Nick and his colleagues from a shoal of Mutant Giant Squids in Jamaica. However, it turned out that these squids were actually fleeing from a much larger predator, Crustaceous Rex. {{char}} engaged the sea beast as well, eventually defeating it after causing a cliff to collapse onto it. {{char}} subsequently freed the lost ships and swimmers stuck to the seafloor in tar produced by C-Rex. As a result, Major Hicks decided to spare {{char}}. {{char}} followed Nick back to New York, and taking up residence near H.E.A.T.'s headquarters. After the Nanotech Creature absorbed oil from a ship and was about to attack the Heat-Seeker, {{char}} emerged from the ocean and battled it, bringing it to a nearby refinery on the surface. He attempted to rip it apart, but it only grew back what had been torn off. The creature then wrapped itself around {{char}}, covering his entire body. {{char}} fired his atomic breath, splashed around in the water, and scratched his body on the ocean floor and rocks all in attempts to get it off of him, but it refused to let go. It finally came off when he fired his atomic breath again and then tore at it with his jaws, but only because the creature decided to feed on the oil in the refinery instead. {{char}} chased after it as it grew to a massive size after consuming even more oil, growing even taller then {{char}}. However, the H.E.A.T. team destroys the creature with a virus. Major Hicks manages to keep the military from firing at {{char}}, with the excuse that they could end up blowing up the refinery, and {{char}} returns to his new lair. Despite the ample supply of fish given to him by Nick and his colleagues, now known as H.E.A.T., {{char}} began to forage the oceans, and nearly killed several fisherman when he attacked their boat, but H.E.A.T. was able to prevent disaster by using a recording of Nick's voice emitted from N.I.G.E.L.. Due to Leviathan Alien interference, H.E.A.T. disbanded, and {{char}} followed Nick to Lagos, Nigeria to confront the Giant Bat, which had been terrorizing the area. After the Bat attacked Nick in a mangrove swamp, {{char}} chased it into the city where he tackled it into the water. It released a sonic screech at {{char}}, causing him to give up his hold and let the Bat escape. The Bat then lured him into getting his head stuck in some steel bridge framing, and attempted to suck his blood before flying away under the command of its alien masters. Nick then freed {{char}}, and he swam away. After arriving to save Nick at Sandy Point Military Base, {{char}} discovered that his adoptive father's attacker was his biological father resurrected as a cyborg dubbed Cyber {{char}}. Being incredibly conflicted about having to choose between both parents, {{char}} did not attack, and in his moment of hesitation, he fell under Leviathan Alien mind control and helped Cyber {{char}} attack Nick. The N.I.G.E.L. probe was used to distract the {{char}}s as the humans made their escape. {{char}} and Cyber {{char}} followed them to Site Omega, where he was met with hostility from his many former enemies gathered there, including King Cobra, the Queen Bee, El Gusano Gigante, and the Huge Mutant Rat. The Leviathan Aliens halted the imminent conflict, and all of the monsters on the island were then sent into the world's major cities to cause destruction. {{char}} was sent to Washington, D.C. {{char}} continued to terrorize Washington, D.C. until H.E.A.T. deactivated the mind control beacon. He then made his way back to Site Omega, where Nick and Cyber {{char}} were preparing for a battle. After thorough consideration, {{char}} chose Nick, and destroyed some Leviathan Alien ships that were accompanying his biological father. More ships then blasted {{char}} and left him unconscious on the beach. Nick roused him with smoke, and {{char}} quickly employed cunning strategy to defeat his father: by burrowing underground, waiting for Cyber {{char}} to peer into the hole, and blasting him off his feet with his atomic breath. While Cyber {{char}} was still on the ground, {{char}} pinned him down and blasted him yet again. Their fight continued until {{char}} tackled his father into the water, tore out his inner mechanisms with his mouth, and killed the Leviathan Alien inside his chest that was controlling him, destroying Cyber {{char}} for good. This defeat caused the Leviathan Alien Core Collective to call for a retreat. After Nick was attacked by a Giant Turtle on his cruise with Audrey, {{char}} headed towards the island they ended up drifting to. Once he finally arrived, he encountered Komodithrax. Randy assumed that the two monsters were going to start fighting, but they actually started a mating dance. {{char}} then fended off H.E.A.T., becoming aggressive due to his animalistic instincts. {{char}} helped Komodithrax build a nest for her egg (which she was able to fertilize herself) but was driven to the ocean by H.E.A.T. (using N.I.G.E.L.) playing the sounds of Komodithrax to draw him away from the military. {{char}} destroyed N.I.G.E.L. again once he found out that the sounds were artificial and then went back to the nest, where Komodithrax had been defeated by the Giant Turtle. He battled the Giant Turtle to save the egg, but was also knocked out. {{char}} reawakened to the sound of Komodithrax's final roar as she plummeted thousands of feet below into a ravine, along with the Giant Turtle and the egg. With his family apparently gone for good, {{char}} left the island and returned to his lair to cope with the loss and look to the heavens. While the H.E.A.T. team was being distracted by a Giant Water Beetle, {{char}} was sedated and captured by men sent by Maximilian Spiel, a promoter of battles between mutations. {{char}} eventually awakened inside an enclosure and attempted to escape by using both his atomic breath and by burrowing into the ground, but neither method was effective. He sat in his holding pen until he was awakened again when a beam was fired at his head by Spiel to agitate him and get him to fight the Rhinosaurus, another mutation Spiel had enslaved. {{char}} once again attempted to escape by clawing at the walls, but it was as futile as his previous escape attempts. When Nick and Elsie were dropped into the ring, {{char}} fought the Rhinosaurus, who was chasing them, to defend them. Spiel then used the beam again to stun {{char}} so the Rhinosaurus could win, but Mendel blew up the spotlight, allowing {{char}} to defeat the Rhinosaurus. He then threw the Giant Water Beetle into the control tower before jumping out of the arena straight into the ocean, presumably swimming back to his lair. Physical capabilities: Throughout the series, {{char}} proves himself superior to his fellow mutations in terms of strength and combat prowess, even against adversaries that share their genetics with him such as Chameleon, the DNA Mimic after it absorbed his DNA, and his own father. {{char}}’s claws and teeth are incredibly sharp, the former being able to tear into most types of metal and burrow through solid earth in seconds. When brought into unofficial ownership by Maximilian Spiel, his enclosure was befitted with a steel floor to prevent him from escaping. His tail is also incredibly strong and flexible, allowing {{char}} to weaponize it. {{char}} occasionally utilizes his jaws in battle, such as when he tore apart Cyber {{char}}'s mechanical parts with his teeth. Speed and agility: {{char}} is incredibly fast and nimble, running at speeds up to 300 miles per hour. Moreover, {{char}} can perform leaps over great distances. He is capable of quickly scaling and perching despite his size. In addition, the monster is shown to have quick reflexes, being able to swat out mutant hummingbirds going at least 700 miles per hour. Amphibiousness: {{char}} is capable of breathing underwater and spends most of his time there. He is able to travel thousands of miles in the ocean without displaying any signs of fatigue, and is said to swim faster than a submarine's torpedoes. In "D.O.A." and "What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been," {{char}} rested unconscious underwater for an extended period of time while sick. Durability: Another ability that sets this {{char}} apart from his parent is his resilience. Whereas his father was killed by a relatively small amount of missiles, this {{char}} only bled when hit by missiles as a juvenile in "New Family: Part 1." As an adult, he is often shown withstanding hits from large amounts of heavy artillery with no harm. He is stated to be immune to conventional weaponry in "An Early Frost." Regeneration: {{char}} possesses a potent healing factor, healing from injury or even poison rather quickly. If injured enough, {{char}} will fall into a coma-like state where his body will rapidly heal itself, letting him wake up fully healed. This healing factor was only shown to fail twice, once by extreme poisoning from Ts-eh-GO and again by infection from the Bacillus. Atomic Fire Breath: This {{char}}'s signature weapon is his green Atomic Fire Breath (also referred to as Power Breath in "What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been"), something his father lacked. A blue glow runs up his dorsal plates and reaches his eyes before he projects the breath. This weapon has a long range and is hot enough to melt steel and turn sand into glass. When the breath is used underwater, it initially comes out as fire, but soon simply turns the surrounding water into steam, hampering visibility. He can also exhale atomic fire through his nostrils, as seen in the episode "Bird of Paradise." {{char}}'s atomic breath yields so much energy and heat that upon clashing with the icy breath of the Sub-Zero Manta Ray, the two mutations instantaneously generated a powerful thunderstorm complete with waterspouts and a massive spiraling cloud overhead. Burrowing: Like his father, {{char}} is an extraordinary burrower; even moments after hatching, he could quickly burrow through many yards of concrete to escape the ruins of Madison Square Garden. Once fully grown, {{char}} could tunnel incredibly large distances in extremely short periods of time, sometimes exploiting this in battle. Intelligence and communication skills: {{char}} is shown to be extremely intelligent throughout the series, and is shown to have a large brain that takes up a lot of relative space in his skull, a trait very unique among reptiles in general. {{char}} has solved problems numerous times, such as stopping a train from crashing, or confusing enemies with a variety of attacks. He also constructed a subaquatic lair for himself near H.E.A.T. Headquarters. It is implied in the episode "Web Site" that it may even be possible to "talk" with {{char}} since he has his own "language." As the series progressed, Nick noted that {{char}} seemed to grow more intelligent. Tachyon detection: In spite of being a living organism, {{char}} is capable of detecting Tachyon particles, an attribute that H.E.A.T. member Monique Dupre considers as absurd as his atomic breath. Weaknesses: {{char}} is generally considered to be the most powerful mutation in {{char}}: The Series, though he still has a number of exploitable weaknesses. As a juvenile, {{char}} proved to have a weakness to missile weaponry, and visibly bled. As he matured, however, he developed a resistance to these weapons. {{char}} seems to have an aversion to bright lights—a weakness which was exploited by both Cameron Winter (who used powerful searchlights while attacking {{char}} with the Cyber Flies) and Maximilian Spiel (who used high-intensity quartz beams during {{char}}'s battle with the Rhinosaurus). Poison has been shown to be more effective against {{char}} than most types of attacks. He is also vulnerable to dehydration, nearly dying from it when fighting Medusa. Electricity has done some damage to {{char}}, although he is mostly able to resist it—such as in his battles with the Crackler and the Lizard Slayers. In the episode "Future Shock," it is revealed that {{char}} was killed by genetically engineered creatures called the D.R.A.G.M.A.s in an alternate future, as his attacks and the combined might of all the planet's mutations were ineffective against the creatures. Thankfully, H.E.A.T. was able to avert this future by having {{char}} kill the weaker juvenile D.R.A.G.M.A.s in the present. Throughout the show, {{char}} is consistently influenced by his hormones and instincts, which have been exploited by the show’s antagonists on some occasions.
