Hammerhead

Hammerhead is a resident of the Monster World who occasionally goes up to the surface to prowl around. It is a minor character in the Terrachaoverse series.
Tier: Likely 7-C
== Appearance ==
Hammerhead appears as a humanoid with fair, human-like skin & black clothing. Its head is a long open cylinder with crinkly light brown skin & black stripes. Its eyes glow white when threatened. Because of its weirdly unique appearance, its namesake comes from its side profile resembling the shape of a hammer.
== History ==
=== Sometimes You're the Hammer ===
Hammerhead's personal background remains unknown. All that is known is that it comes from a very rare species found underground in the Monster World.
On September 4th, 2017, it came to the surface at the Ledda Residence via Warp Zone. This happened by accident, as it merely followed Sans through the Warp Zone he entered so he could talk to Emperor Daniel. It knew not what was going on, but it felt threatened by Blatman, who confronted it out of curiosity. Blatman went up a tree in the front yard, alarmed by Hammerhead's monstrous nature. Hammerhead did not feel like climbing up the tree & instead tried to knock the tree down with its strength. This would've worked normally, but Dan put a spell on his surroundings so that supernatural beings would be unable to destroy his property, as the spell scales objects to his own durability. Sans was walking by these two weirdos when he took his leave, shaking his head at their skirmish. Hammerhead eventually left because it got bored.
=== Sometimes You're the Nail ===
Hammerhead was one of the billions who perished during the End of the World on December 7th, 2018. Fortunately, it was revived afterwards when the planet was rebuilt by the Infinity Gauntlet, but its memories were wiped of the event.
Hammerhead would make an unexpected return to the Ledda Residence on June 10th, 2022 by sneaking out of another Warp Zone. Dan shooed the creature away since he didn't trust it, but before it left it encountered Sdrawkcab & Lord Claudius Ko'Al. Hammerhead recognized Sdrawkcab as a fellow quadruped monster & tried asserting its dominance against him. Sdrawkcab responded in a similar manner, the two freaks slamming the ground & making weird noises at each other. Claudius got annoyed with their primitive display & sent forth a telekinetic shockwave to knock them down & left the building. Sdrawkcab made one last remark at Hammerhead before both would leave the premises.
== Personality ==
Hammerhead behaves like a Neanderthal, mainly speaking with grunts & growls. Sometimes it even crawls on all-fours when it can clearly stand bipedal. It slams its head on the ground when asserting dominance. It seems to have some level of understanding human-like communication, as it took offense when Sdrawkcab said to him "You suck!"
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Superhuman Strength: While it hasn't shown any feats of strength, it fought Blatman off-screen & Sdrawkcab considered it a threat. It should likely be strong enough to destroy a town.
Superhuman Speed: Hammerhead can move at subsonic speeds, able to surprise Sdrawkcab with its sudden appearance.
Durability: Scaling to its supposed strength, Hammerhead should be tough enough to survive a town's destruction.
Bioluminescence: Hammerhead's eyes can glow to illuminate its surroundings or flash as an intimidation display.
Bodily Readjustment: While not shown on-screen as of yet, Claudius' Skull Staff stated that Hammerhead can rotate & detach its head. This can be done to extend its attack range, as he gains a major increase in height when doing the latter.
== Weaknesses ==
Hammerhead's lackluster intelligence is its main weakness. When facing off against Blatman, it did not think to climb the tree he was in & instead tried to push the tree down with its brute strength. But as it tried, it failed to realize the tree was enchanted since it was grown on the Ledda Residence's lawn. Also, because of the sounds it makes due to its crinkly skin, Hammerhead cannot be stealthy.
== Trivia ==
* The prop used for its head is a cat toy, the kind where the cat crawls through it like a tunnel.
