A heavy armoured tail coated in long spikes (normally used as a fifth appendage to grip walls while climbing) is a final defence if even this fails to deter any predator, although its relatively short length makes it a last resort attack useful only in very close range.



Takora: Semi-terrestrial cephalopods unrelated to Gezora (while initially reported as a form of octopod, closer genetic and morphological studies suggest it as a form of shell-less ammonoid), they are harmless to human beings but very keen thieves, often collecting useless objects and trinkets purely for their own curiosity, forming extensive bowers filled with junk. Their particularly large mantles (between four and five feet in length) are primarily filled with air bladders and fluid sacs, forming a combination aerostatic and hydrostatic skeleton that keeps their body's shape together outside of the water. They also produce a particularly thick mucous film that helps the skin retain water underneath it. The bonebed of Maguma fossils are scattered with the pens and beaks of Takora, which suggests that the cephalopods associated strongly with the super-mammal species when they were still populous, perhaps scavenging on scraps or parasites in symbiotic relationships that colonies of the kaiju would inevitably bring back. Similar to most cephalopods, they have very acute camouflaging skills and can change their colour and shape to imitate objects, or even other animals, by rapidly shifting chromatophores and reorientation of tentacles, modifying the shape of the mantle through redistributing internal fluids, and altering skin texture (some Takora were even seen to try and imitate humans). Their ability to disguise themselves is exceptional even among cephalopods however, as specialized, translucent, crystalline scales over their body are able to refract light to break apart their body shape and momentarily become nearly invisible through a rippling movement. They often seem to try and test their shapeshifting prowess for no reason than to amuse themselves, honing their capabilities further in doing so. Their exact numbers are therefore very difficult to quantify, as utilize their disguises often, making them difficult to spot and track.



Mogela: A likely close relative of Kinger which takes a much different route while maintaining a similar body plan, burrowing through the rock and earth with metal-plated claws and a flattened, trowel-like head. This species was actually

A dense armored tail coated in long spike (normally used as a fifth appendage to fascinate wall while climbing) is a concluding defense if even this fails to dissuade any predator, although its relatively short length makes it a final resort attack useful only in very close scope.

The bonebed of Maguma fossil are scattered with the pens and beaks of Takora, which suggests that the cephalopod associated powerfully with the super - mammal species when they were still populous, perhaps scavenging on scraps or parasite in symbiotic relationships that colonies of the kaiju would inevitably fetch back. Similar to most cephalopods, they have very acute camouflaging skill and can change their color and shape to imitate objects, or even early animals, by rapidly shifting chromatophores and reorientation of tentacle, modifying the condition of the mantle through redistributing inner fluid, and altering skin texture (some Takora were even seen to try and imitate humans).
