Appearance:

Spoiler:

Kua is instantly recognizable; few creatures inspire more awe or fear in the human mind then the Minotaur. Half man, half bull; the Minotaur lives in the mythos of humanity as a raging demigod monster; strength nearly unmatched and a rage that will tear the world apart. However, while Kua does conform to the classical idea of a minotaur; he is anything but a dirty, monstrous beast. A rare Bijuu that wears clothing of some sort, he is also the only one to carry a weapon. Standing 100 meters tall from the base of his hooves to the base of his horns, and a full 25 meters taller counting said horns; he towers over everything in his path without trouble. Arms thicker than most buildings pack the strength needed to vaporize mountains with one swing of his hammer; while the razor sharp tips of his horns can pierce through entire forests without problems.

Personality: As is true of all of his kind; Kua is a being that is rife with contradictions. Wise and gentle, savage and beastly; he is all this and more. An intellect greater than any man mixed with the tenacity and strength of the bull; wrapped up in a layer of savage civility. Complex is an understatement; or rather, it is the closest a human mind can come to understanding a creature like Kua. The minotaur is normally a peaceable enough creature, preferring the solitude of the high mountains and pastures where he can rest and relax far away from prying eyes and the whims of the world. Where he lives, herds numbering in the thousands of bison, buffalo, and stray bovine of all species follow; a family of sorts for him to protect. He is the creator of the mountains and the high meadows; constantly at odds with the forest monkey Kishit for his destruction of the dense tree lines in favor of the wide grasslands his kind prefer.

His size allows him a measure of safety; few creatures could begin to harm him, and even fewer would bother those in his care. He can frequently be found lounging against the side of mountains, often times nearly as tall as the mountains themselves.

It is in times of conflict that the savage nature of the bull emerges; Kua is almost a berserker when he fights, rarely bothering to acknowledge that there can be friend or foe in a fight. His eyes routinely turn red in battle; shining like a beacon of his barely controlled beastial rage. While he is proficient in the use of hammers, axes, and other heavy weaponry; he is just as likely to utilize one of his many Doton techniques as he is to swing his weapon, and even more likely to drop all, lower his head, and charge with his tree-sized horns. It is nearly impossible to stop his rages until everything around him is a devastated wasteland; although he is particularly vulnerable to the plight of his herd. He would do anything to keep them safe; up to and including offering his own life for their safety.

History: Kua was not always a Bijuu, nor was he even born as a chakra beast. Centuries ago he was nothing more than a champion fighting bull, fawned over and beloved by the people of the village he was born in. Huge by any standards; he was the epitome of his species from the moment of his birth. His life was hard, but he was happy enough; he was never hungry, never cold nor too hot outside of battle, and he was always treated to the finest luxuries a bull could ever want. He was a simple creature living a simple life; and that was enough. It was in his 10th year of life that his world changed; in the forests outside of his home had lived a smaller chakra beast, no larger than a prairie buffalo but far stronger than any of the humans or beasts around. It was a strange creature; shaggy and sporting strange extra arms and legs that stuck out at odd angles. Why it decided to attack the village was never understood; in later years Kua came to believe that it was the noise of the bull fights that angered it. In it’s rampage it made the mistake of charging into the fighting arena while Kua was in the middle of a pre-fight celebration; he would always do laps around the arena and show off his perfection to the uproarious applause of the people. He was just a simple bull at the time; he had no idea what to make of the beast; all he knew was that it needed to die after the first time it attacked him. The attacks were strange, he’d never seen jutsu or chakra before, ninja didn’t exist in his village. Blasts of fire singed his fur, claws dripping with some kind of acid burned his flesh whenever an attack from either side landed. Kua was fighting for his life here; and he was losing. No bull could hold up to a chakra beast, after all. Not normally, anyway. It was pure luck that allowed him to survive; the creature had reared up to hit him with clawed hands, and Kua saw a chance to charge; his horns had never been filed down for safety; they were still razor sharp and plenty lethal. His charge was successful; piercing the heart and lungs of the beasts and ripping them clean out of it’s body. Kua was seriously hurt, but he would live even without the medical attention he received.

It was a few days later that the first changes were noticed. The terrible burns and gashes sustained in the fight had perfectly healed; no marks marred his body. He was filled with a strange energy he’d never known; he’d all but stopped feeling tired at all, and no longer needed to eat as often; although his appetite when he did eat had nearly tripled. He found himself slowly being able to understand the speech of his handlers; something he’d never been able to do before; it had just been gibberish to his ears. After a few weeks his handlers were astounded to find he was growing again; not just in weight but in overall size. Horns had lengthened; his body was longer and taller, and his muscle mass had risen by nearly a quarter. Even with his increasing intellect, he couldn’t understand what was happening to himself; he had no way of knowing that by defeating the chakra beast as he had, he’d absorbed it’s chakra and power and was slowly changing because of it.

News of his fight and victory traveled fast; bringing him new fame and opponents from far and wide. Bulls larger than anything he’d ever seen or existed in their lands began appearing to challenge him, and each was dispatched with a lessening degree of trouble. The further out from the death of the chakra beast, the stronger he became; until he’d finally grown to equal the beast in power. He was now almost three times his original size and weight; with physical power that terrified everything around him. His mind had grown comparable in intelligence to a human child, able to understand most of what was said around him and even able to begin to plan and such before and during his fights. He was unbeatable now, far greater than any bull that had ever existed before him.

Then the second chakra beast appeared. His fame was to be his downfall; chakra beasts had an innate need to challenge anything that was equal or stronger in power than they were, knowing that defeating it would make them stronger. Kua’s reputation had grown so much that chakra beasts of the country had come to believe he was one of them; not and entirely untrue assumption. He was still mostly a bull, but enhanced now; more than what he had or could have been. The second beast appeared and challenged him; this time some sort of wolf-type creature. The fight was short; the beast was fast, but it couldn’t handle the sheer power of Kua. Between sharp hooves and horns and the power behind their strikes, the beast was dead in minutes; and Kua was once again filled with the power of the fallen beast.

This cycle continued for months; he’d defeat any beasts that came to challenge him, and each time he grew larger, stronger, and more intelligent. The people were becoming afraid; both of Kua and of the attacking monsters; they knew the beasts came for Kua and Kua alone; causing them to eventually turn on him as well. No amount of fame and coin that Kua could bring was worth the danger. He was turned out into the wild; banished from the village of his birth and left to roam the world as one of the chakra beasts he was constantly having to defeat. This cycled continued for nearly a century; with each beast he killed his lifespan would grow significantly; before that day. It was the second day that would change his life; the day he stumbled through the mountain fog and into the Valley of the Chakra Beasts.

A lesser being would have died long before making it that far; but by that time he’d grown to well over 20 meters tall and far stronger than the poor beasts that still tried to beat him. Wandering into the valley was nothing to him; it anything it should have given him a place to be safe. Within the valley the beasts rarely competed as they did in the outside world; there was no point after all. Lost and in need of water; Kua wandered around the strange place until he came upon a strange spring; seemingly bubbling forth from the top of an oddly shaped tree. Whatever the liquid was, it smelled to him like the sweet, clean mountain water he desperately needed. His only thought was of slaking his thirst; he went right to the spring and lowered his head to drink. The moment his muzzle touched the liquid, his world was forever changed once more.

The spring he had found was not a spring of water, or any other true liquid. He’d stumbled across the Wellspring of Life; the very origin of all chakra and life energy in the world. By touching the pure energy held within the pool, he was able to absorb an enormous amount of it; quickly and permanently changing him from just another chakra beast of the world into one of the great and power Bijuu; his two horns growing and changing to reflect his new position as the Two-Tailed Bijuu. The pure life energy flowing through his body forced a final change; he was far more than just a bull even before that point, now his body would show it. Exploding in size, he rose to stand on two legs like a man; muzzle and throat changed to allow for language and speech without problem; front legs shifting and changing into three-fingered hands similar to that of a primate. When the change was complete his journey from simple bull to Bijuu was complete; on the spring he swore to become too protector of his kind. He’d seen far too many fall to the whims of man and chakra beast; he would return to the world beyond the valley and gather them where he could protect them. In the moments before he left, he spotted a strange object laying against the side of the spring; a hammer so small that he could barely pick it up. However, once he had it began to grow and change until it fit in his hand perfectly. From the hammer came a strange, new power; the power to control gravity itself; perfect complement to the power of Earth he’d gained from the spring.

Name: Little Kong
Type: Combat Pet
Rank: S
Element: Fuuton
Species: Simian

Appearance:

Description: Little Kong is the 5 year old baby brother of Kong, the Chief Gorilla of the Great Sage Apes. He is very intelligent and capable of speaking English. Little Kong stands 3 feet high and weights 50 pounds. At only 5 years of age Little Kong is already considered a genius in the 5 variations of Tai Shing, or “Monkey Kung Fu.” Little Kong wished to grow up in an untraditional fashion. After Kurai Yanagi became the first human in over a century to prove himself to the Great Sages, and was highly praised by the older Kong (something the Chief Gorilla did only very rarely) for fearlessly confronting a tailed beast single handed, Little Kong requested that he be allowed to be claimed by Kurai as his “pet” so that he could live with him amongst the humans. Much like Kurai, Little Kong possesses a mysterious personality and rarely ever speaks; when he does it is only to those he knows, or when the situation calls for it.
