Mochi
The Mochi, plural as there are two of them, are a legend among the Gooroo in addition to being the most dangerous gooroos in existence. Each one roughly 60 feet tall and virtually impervious to conventional and nuclear arms, their shapes are rumored to have been the inspiration for the Godzilla films.
Classification
Class: Over-Elder Height: 60 ft Feeding Type: Passive (Dormant)
The Origins of Mochi
A Victim of War
Mochi was once a very agreeable gooroo located in the city of Hiroshima, Japan. As a passive feeder, she served as a nurse and was able to gain sufficient PKE from the occasional death that happened on site. Had she been left alone, she might have been regarded among the benign gooroos such as Mobrasu and Hazmokaff. Unfortunately, she was living in Japan during the time of World War II, and she was present for the detonation of the first atomic bomb on a city. She was not at ground zero but was instead far enough away to be wounded by the heat and force of the blast but not killed. However, the death toll in the city was incredible, and as a passive PKE feeder, she was flooded. IN the course of a few days, Mochi accumulated the power of over one hundred thousand deaths, more than ten times the average elder's input. Contaminated with fallout and unable to handle the raw influx of personalities with the PKE, Mochi was unable to properly absorb and assimilate the input. Instead, the personalities of the dead remained intact, and thus Mochi possessed close to 200000 different minds by the time Hiroshima and Nagasaki were accounted for, the latter having added to the damage to Mochi due to a peculiar radiation tracking sense she developed.
Unprecedented Fission
Mochi completely lost her gooroo persona, and instead she was racked with the pain of the dead that didn't know they were dead because they lived on, in part, as part of her. IN her confusion, she attacked a small fishing boat and several small coastal town, resulting in fallout, property damage, and death. The attacks, when analyzed later, appeared to be her trying to find the families of those within her without understanding what she was. The continued strain eventually lead to an event that has never been reproduced: Mochi split in two.
It is hard to know without speaking to them, but the Mochi divided into a male and female aspect, but their anatomy does not betray that at all. The final product was two stable hive minds, giant white kangaroos with slate gray back spines shimmering with Cerenkov radiation. With thick tails and a hunched pose, one need only make their heads reptilian to get a good idea for what Godzilla look like. Stable and telepathically linked, the Mochi headed east into the ocean, following the crackle of radiation from nuclear tests.
The Unstoppable Beast
It was some time before Mochi resurfaces, but as soon as the next nuclear test occurred, something show up on the beach a few days later. Mochi took the US Military by surprise, and despite deploying their best weapons, nothing slowed the Mochi. Worse yet, their speed was assumed to be incredible at first as one would drive from land to water to have the other rise up and destroy naval vessels without anyone knowing there were two targets rather than one. To further complicate the issue, any time the Mochi opened their mouth they emitted a powerful beam of scorching radiation. Only when trackers started using radiation as an indicator did they find the two shaped of the Mochi moving together in the Pacific Ocean.
It was not long before conventional weapons were exhausted in an effort to damage or slow the Mochi as they tracked ever Eastward. Later nuclear tests were anything but, and the use of additional arms was thought to be able to destroy the targets, but in the end they only made Mochi stronger. By the time they reached the southern coast of California, the characteristic emission lines of hydrogen and oxygen fusion could be detected. The Mochi were self-sustaining nuclear reactors with more than enough PKE charge to remain stable indefinitely.
