Natural attack-wise, Shrewsy is your typical giant monster: he bites, he claws, he leaps like the big rabid water shrew he is. It is his unnatural talent, however, that gives him a defensive edge. When Shrewster runs, he produces wind force that creates a tornado around his body, making him look like some gigantic killer Taz. He is not, however, invulnerable. Zilla Jr. managed to clean his clock by beating the creature senseless until he no longer had the power to produce his speed attack anymore, thus allowing the beast to be sedated and shipped off to Monster Island Preserve. So far, the defensive shielding has kept the rowdy rodent in, but Shrewster's speed means that he cannot be specially paddocked like the other monsters, lest his lack of movement cause him to go insane. Shrewster has become a popular test subject of Monster Island scientists, since his speed and dexterity seem to defy all logic on how a creature his size should function. It is possible that, despite his upped size, Shrewster has a similar "overdrive metabolism" such as a typical Pre-Vanishing shrew, but instead of working it out in food need like normal shrews, Shrewsy gains energy by actually releasing it: some form of "give and take" in which the more he produces high friction, the more life-sustaining energy his body gets.

[QUOTE="Rappy, post: 4059914, member: 58456"] Not that I can remember. Anyway, as promised, it is Wednesday, and you get your next Kaiju...sort of.
