Vegetius Enjoys : Eating , sleeping , digging holes Background . Vegetius is being most beast - like creature of Big Battel . No man and no monster can cantrolling giant bird - turtle when lunchtime is the nearing . Foraging for the roots of deliciousness is activity number one in forest and jungle home places . Stand by the side for Vegetius and friend counted , but stopping the will of pointy headed one and shell pain he brings ! Vegetius in the Bush . - " By Dr . Jane Geertz " Greetings my budding students of Kaijuology ! I am here to divulge some detailed information about the newest Kaiju Rogue , Vegetius . I recently had a run in with this wild beast in the jungles of a remote South Pacific Island . I think you will find my observations will prove relevant if Vegetius ever steps into the Danger Cage again . Early in 2004 , I got word from my contact Johavo that some strange things were happening on a small island in the South Pacific , so I left my research to investigate the rumors . The gossip in every circle of the island was that the openings to a vast tunnel system were found within the rain forest . These openings were difficult to get to due to the dense jungle and the destruction that seemed to surround the openings . It was my hunch that Vegetius produced these cavernous tunnels as he searched for food . Therefore , I made preparations to journey into the rainforest in order to catch a glimpse of the magnificent Vegetius in his natural habitat . The next day Johavo and I hiked through the jungle for 5 hours without a trace of the Kaiju creature . We were hot , tired , and discouraged , which prevented us from hearing the faint rumbling in the distance . I began to fall behind , lost in thought , while Johavo pushed ahead hacking away at the underbrush with a machete . When he began to yell for me to look out , my first reaction was that he might have seen a monkey ! ( As a scientist I respect all living things , but I hate monkeys , I hate ' em . . . they seem so cute , but they are actually sneaky and mean . I had a horrible experience in Gibraltar that I don ' t care to relive here . ) As it turns out , Johavo had not found a monkey ; he had come to a clearing full of debris that had a huge hole in the middle of it . I had done it ! I had found Vegetius ' tunnels and I knew he would be nearby . My hypothesis was confirmed as the rumbling suddenly grew louder and the ground began to shake violently . A pointy - head followed by an enormous shell emerged from the ground . Nearby trees creaked and teetered until they snapped and crashed to the ground . Johavo and I ran for cover as Vegetius waddled over to the fallen trees and began to feast on their roots . I took out my notes and furiously began to scribble every detail of the Kaiju I could find . Vegetius used his sharp red mouth to chew up the roots , which supplied him with vitamins , minerals , stored water and fiber . His eyes were vibrantly green and his gigantic shell appeared to be several feet thick . He most notably had a large red jewel on the back of his shell . As I recorded this , Johavo pointed out two more jewels on his sides , right by his red hands . This creature fascinated me so much that I decided I had to get a closer look . As I crept toward Vegetius , noting the strange design on his cone - like - forehead , the most horrible thing happened . I am still traumatized from the following events , and have difficulty recounting them . You see , a large male monkey swooped down from a tree and snatched my notes ! A monkey . Why did it have to be a monkey ? Needless to say , I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran to save myself from that foul beast . Unfortunately , my scream also disturbed Vegetius . The Kaiju rose from his dinner and stomped his way toward me . His eyes were now a fiery red with anger . He let out a loud noise that I can only describe as a , " WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAQK ! " He began to jump up and down , flailing his arms and hitting the jewels on his sides . By doing this he seemed to gain more energy and power . This was clearly one grumpy Kaiju , and I feared for my life as I ran back toward our trail . As I ran I saw Johavo gathering rocks and hurling them at Vegetius to fend him off . This was doing nothing to the well - protected Kaiju until one particularly well - thrown rock nailed the large red jewel on his back . Vegetius stumbled with this single blow , so Johavo pelted Vegetius ' jewel with as many rocks as he could find . I ran as fast as I could , but Vegetius was too close and began to lower his head to stab me with his sharp head . I screamed for help , as Johavo ' s last rock hit Vegetius again and the Kaiju stumbled to the ground , apparently without enough energy to move . I was amazed that Vegetius had lost power and had been taken down simply by hitting the jewel on his back . This weakness in his armor had allowed me to escape . Johavo and I ran back down our path through the jungle to safety . That wretched monkey got away with my notes , but I escaped with my life and the first hand experience of a new wild Kaiju . Hopefully the details of this adventure will help protect other Kaiju from the wrath of this wild beast . Thank you , Dr . Jane Geertz
