Age: Adolescent 

Base Length: 36 feet

Base Weight: 9 metric tons

Skin: Highly durable and flexible dark green scales and osteoderms.

Distinguishing features: Dark red marks around the eyes, jagged teeth designed to slice, crush, and hold prey interchangeably, protruding spikes from nostrils to the tip of its tail that may retract for better movement in the water, can change shape, size, and overall physiology that resemble all forms of evolutionary descendants, ancestors, cousins, or relatives of crocodiles and Crittermen.

Temperament: Quick tempered, spontaneous, alpha, apex predator, dominant, lazy when neutral, alert when on the hunt, confrontational, slightly tamed 

Likes: Basking, hunting, sleeping, fighting for dominance, playing or training with his kin, warm places, a huge meal (loves raw prime cuts, preferably Carnosaurs or T Rex), treats (preferably poultry)

Dislikes: Losing a fight, being put in his place, avian birds (he can't [yet] fly and chase after them)

Fears: Spaceships, outer space, foes who are capable of killing him, the one who started it all

Strengths:

• Insanely adaptable to prey, opponents, and environments due to his shapeshifting 




• Can change from cold to warm blooded depending on surroundings 




• While heavy, his muscular and skeletal structures are highly evolved to not only carry the weight, but use it to his own advantage for stealth and brute force alike




• Can be trained if one proves themselves superior to him




• Has acute self awareness and moderate levels of intelligence




• His strongest bite force is 21,000 Newtons in his base form, which can lower or rise based on any shape shifting he undergoes 




• Has all of the utilities of the Chompa race, though is still learning to use them 

Weaknesses:

• Can be outsmarted by more intelligent species




• While a powerhouse, he can be put in his place with creatures bigger or stronger than him




• He can only grow so big or small until it proves inefficient 




• Gets vertigo if he wanders into outer space

Long term goals:

• To protect the group and support their well being




• Remain the Hub World's #1 apex predator




• Sleep, eat, bask and fight

Reference list for iconic monster roars: https://youtu.be/UJU8yCzY7wk 

Primarily use this as a reference for crocodile roar but make it unique and terrifying: https://youtu.be/JpvsFKc7EEA 

Further direction: first guttural hissing sound followed by a loud booming sound, followed by hissing that ends with reverb; use this boom in the middle of this roar as another reference: https://youtube.com/shorts/PuxP77UEulw?feature=share 

Preferred similarities/references: Lizzie from Rampage, Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park, irl crocodile

History and background details

Primal was born in the late Cretaceous period in a makeshift laboratory stronghold, with a mix of three unique classes of DNA; Crocodilian (primarily Deinosuchus), Critterman, and Chompa. The one who started it all was on the run from an assortment of pursuers, and decided to kill two birds with one stone; experiment and develop a unique Variant of Chompa that would inevitably hold off anyone who was hot on his trail. Utilizing an abundance of DNA on top of having an Improbability Drive made Primal a true force for anyone to reckon with, even this ragtag group of past experiments fighting in unison.

With the ability to shapeshift, actively manipulate his base form physiology (from changing teeth design for specific prey to adapting in any scenario), Primal is the prime example of what an Apex predator ought to be on a universal level. Considering the fact that he was an invasive species, the one who started it all would ensure that any reproductive acts wouldn't allow for his Drive to be passed down into his offspring. However, this didn't stop them from having any of his natural autapomorphies (unique traits) from being handed down in abundance, such as his spikes along his back, various forms of teeth, longer, muscular legs), or varieties in physiology that were unable to be altered by any individual hatchling. He has mated with many different Deinosuchus females in his time growing up.

Primal spent his days growing up in the wild, willingly released due to petty curiosity. He was a solitary hunter, one who picked up his unique traits during many near death experiences. As he grew up (rather swiftly), he found himself with abundant food and a thirst for seeking challenges. His first novice fight was against a Carnotaurus who proved a worthy foe, which made its succulent flesh that much more fulfilling. Seeking out stronger and larger predators, Primal claimed a large plot of land that he declared his territory, which included the premises of the fortification he was created in at its center.

When Primus, Gunnar, Cain, Owen, Tait and Damien arrived, they found themselves in an unprecedented world that forced them to survive and search for what they came for simultaneously. Eventually stumbling upon the fort, they found some intentional answers and even more questions that they didn't know they needed to ask. All the while, Primal was stalking and, seeing a group that resembled his bipedal creator, he decided they were going to be trouble if he didn't kill them.

When push came to shove, Primal had them beat in most fields except for intelligence. They managed to subdue and form some semblance of trust, where Gunnar made the initial bond. They'd take time getting used to each other before eventually leaving, aiming to confront the one who started it all for the last time. With this group of capable fighters, it seemed no one could stand in their way.

Primal would soon be well trained and disciplined after they made it to their new home world post confrontation. He'd be a wonderful pet, an even better guard animal, and a surprisingly effective therapy animal for the group. Most of all, he was set on being the apex predator in this new world.
