Monolith (MX-99)

ATTENTION!!
This OC belongs to Night and was created for Project Myth. Do not steal!
==Appearance==
Monolith's appearance is... unusual to say the least. When their scales aren't changing to match their surroundings, their entire body is covered in black scales, say for a row of blood red scales on both sides of their body. Blood red spots resembling eyes can be seen on their wings, possibly used for intimidation. Their eyes are a brilliant crimson color, almost like two rubies. Two feeding tentacles and eight normal tentacles are located on their chest. Much like a real colossal squid, their tentacles have hooks located on the suction cups. However, these tentacles are difficult to see because Monolith is always trying to hide them. When angered, their eyes will turn an eerie shade of violet. Instead of a beak, there is a third eye located in the center of their chest, surrounded by their tentacles. This eye is also an eerie shade of violet.
==Personality==
Monolith appears to be a very shy individual. They are slow to anger and quick to forgive, but they never forget those who have angered/hurt them and they certainly are the type to hold grudges. In extremely rare cases, they can be seen communicating with another dragon, although it usually doesn't last long. When angered, however, Monolith sheds his shy personality, giving way for a more... deranged and bloodthirsty one. When angered, their savagery is unparalleled and they become extremely tunnel-visioned trying to slaughter whoever angered them. When they finally cool down, they will often disappear, sometimes for days at a time before turning up again.
==History==
Monolith's egg was very strange for a HiveWing egg. It was as dark as obsidian and had two dots on opposite sides of the egg. One that was blood red, and another that was violet. The egg was nearly impossible to find during the night which was why scientists found the egg during the day when they checked the hive once more before departing. Monolith would eventually hatch in Base Beta. At the time, Monolith was rather outgoing and friendly to the other experiments, granting them a "little to no threat" status. However, as the experiments increased in intensity and pain and Monolith's tentacles began to develop, their personality began to change. Afraid that others might judge them for their appearance, Monolith began to stay far away from the other dragons, refusing to interact with them unless they were feeling a little more confident than usual. Over the years, the teasing ramped up and Monolith became increasingly nervous until one such incident finally caused Monolith to snap. The poor experiment that had been teasing Monolith for the past years was mauled within an inch of their life by Monolith's claws and tentacles. After that incident, Monolith was transferred to Base Alpha where they continued to avoid interactions with other dragons unless they had a good reason to initiate an interaction.
==Abilities==
Monolith is able to change the color of their scales to match their surroundings and are capable of disappearing in a puff of smoke. Both of these tactics are employed when Monolith does not wish to interact with anyone. When angered, Monolith is capable of unleashing a sonic wave from their third eye. Damage and knockback of this attack can range from no more than a shove with little to no injury to a blast powerful enough to shatter concrete and cause major internal damage. As of writing, the latter has only happened once. Aside from these abilities, Monolith also has excellent control of their tentacles, allowing them to use them to scale up surfaces and sometimes use them to strangle or lacerate enemies.
