Description An image I had drawn a few months ago.

My main kaiju has gone through tons of reimaginings over the years. I've more or less settled on the final design, but felt that scrapping all the previous concepts would have been a waste, especially considering that some of them have really grown on friends both online and in my personal life. I decided to bring in updated versions of my three favorite previous incarnations in a sort of fellow henshin pack members for Shindaros

Each henshin would have their own combat focus, personality, etc. The things that tie them together are distinct limbs, the top half of their heads being bone white, pronounced spikes of other structures on the back, and a projectile attack from their chest that is a release of excess body heat.

Shindaros himself is in the bottom left corner, with a general focus on slashing melee attacks. His limbs are lined with tons of claws, think GINO meets Gamera 99. His distinct color is dark, bluish teal, with his eyes and other bioluminescent bits being neon pink. He has very GINO like dorsal plates, which he uses as weapons ala Godzilla 2000. His chest burst is a very Gundam esque burst of pink-glowing homing projectiles that snake through the air and explode on contact. His tail is tipped with a comb like club that is good at both tripping opponents and smashing mouths and faces.

On the top left is Irunops, a female henshin based on this design: quinn-red.deviantart.com/art/A… . Her overall fighting style relies on ranged combat. The color scheme has changed, now a reddish burgundy with light blue eyes and glowing bits. The arms and legs now feature "sleeve" like armor, inspired by Powered Dorako, which she uses to launch rocks and debris as projectiles. She has a sort of saddle like ridge on her back, similar to the Blos wyverns from Monster Hunter. Her projectile attack is a flurry of luminous capsules of blue napalm that moves in a straight line out of her chest. Her body temperature rises at a faster rate than the other henshins, allowing her to use this attack more, which melts through the armor of enemies giving her pack an easier quarry. Her tail has a vaguely ankylosaurid club, which works equally well for stunning opponent with a strike to the head or launching particularly large objects as kinetic projectiles

On the top right is Vashnu, based on the myriad of sketches seen in this stash gallery: sta.sh/2232x1t9m0n8 . This is a female henshin that relies on speedy hit and run attacks and shock and awe tactics. Her colors have shifted from dark green to a flashier yellow, but she still has the black spotted pattern. She still has the very digitgrade, cricket like legs, but her arms are now spiked, Mantis like scythes, which she uses to bleed and hamstring opponents as she runs past them. Her legs allow for both high speed running and incredible leaps. Her back and tail and lined with vibrating plates that shake to intimidate enemies. The plates on her tail are thick enough for her to stand up on it, allow her to kick and slash with her legs. Her projectile attack is a green, fiery burst of fire cracker like explosions similar to GFW Gigan's Cluster Ray, but much stronger. This is an attack that simultaneously shreds and enemy's armor and blinds them (either from the intense flash or even their eyes being destroyed by the explosion).

In the bottom right corner is a kaiju called Darjaunt, based on this design: kaijucombat.com/community/inde… . He's the tank of the group that focuses on crushing and dismembering opponents with grapple attacks. His head is now much craggier and spikier, and he is also more more organic looking compared to his more biometallic looking allies. This is because he is an older model of genetically engineered weapons, with the other three produced as support units. He still has the brown and green color scheme, but his eyes are now burning orange. He now has massive, Orga like arms and short, think legs. His tail is thick and has a wicked grasping claw at the end, similar to Seltas Queen from Monster Hunter. His projectile attack is double barrel blast of heated shrapnel similar to grapeshot, which he can either fire in a one-two sequence or both at the same time.

Hoping to get y'all some good descriptions of their human hosts soon.
