GODZILLA: Ceaseless Combat/Megalon

Megalon is a playable character in GODZILLA: Ceaseless Combat. He is based on his appearance in the Godzilla vs. Megalon(2023) short film, albeit with some added embellishments.
==BACKSTORY==
Beneath the Earth's oceans are the Seatopians, a race of subterranean peoples with an affinity for the sea. Angered by human procedures on the surface, they summoned their guardian monster, Megalon, to bring humanity to their knees, but were easily beaten back down. In recent times, the Seatopians, still seeking to get revenge on the surface-dwellers, allied with the invading alien forces, supporting their cause and being promised with luxury and everlasting preservation once all is said and done. Megalon serves alongside the other alien monsters, most frequently Gigan, to destroy human civilization and enslave Earth's population under the aliens. Despite tremendous power, Megalon doesn't exactly have much of a brain and in general acts more like a spoiled brat than a guardian pseudo-deity, always wanting things to go his way and throwing earth-shattering tantrums when they don't.
==GAMEPLAY==
Megalon overall is a decent middle-of-the-road character. Much like Godzilla he isn't particularly specialized in anything and is fairly reliable all around, except he's a little slow. While he does have considerable physical strength, he also is decently strong on the Weapons side as well to keep opponents guessing. It's worth noting that he has a much stronger, higher jump than most monsters, and his burrowing is able to help him get closer or escape. Overall, despite his faction needing to be purchased first he makes for a good beginner's character.

* Megalon can glide. Unlike flying and hovering monsters, Megalon does not maintain his current altitude while gliding and slowly returns to the ground.
Input 	Name 	Element	Type 	Energy Cost 	Description
High Attack 	Stab 	 	Melee 	-- 	A very quick attack where Megalon quickly raises a hand and punches forward with it. Repeatedly press High to continue the attack, alternating between hands.
High Up 	Dual Pierce 	 	Melee 	-- 	Quickly Megalon flails and throws two wild stabs with one hand each, one aimed low and one aimed high.
High Down 	Hammer Doubled Fist 	 	Melee 	-- 	Megalon uses his wings to fly up a short distance before plunging back down, slamming downwards with both his hands.
High Left/Right 	Mega Stabber Puncher	 	Melee 	15% 	Megalon lets loose with a drill, stabbing forwards a long distance as it spins rapidly, shredding whatever it touches. The attack hits multiple times.
Low Attack 	Drill Punch 	 	Melee 	-- 	As the name suggests, Megalon punches with one arm, holding it out as the drill spins rapidly. Hold the button to continue drilling indefinitely.
Low Up 	Stair Step Kick 	 	Melee 	-- 	The insectoid kaiju jumps and quite literally runs up into the air while his wings flutter, kicking everything below him in the process.
Low Down 	Root Canal 	 	Melee 	-- 	Megalon makes two heavy, almost cartoony stomps forwards before stabbing downwards into the ground with his hands. The attack lasts for three seconds total, meaning that this can do considerable damage should he hit and knock down a foe, but if he misses he's wide open.
Low Left/Right 	Tail Swipe 	 	Melee 	-- 	The spikes on Megalon's tail briefly lengthen as he spins around to slash with it. Has a chance to trip foes.
Strong Attack 	Windmill Minercut 	 	Melee 	-- 	Slowly, Megalon begins to spin around, jabbing up and forwards randomly with his drills before making a big stab and slowing to a halt. None of the hits have knockback except for the last one, so they all combo into each other.
Strong Up 	Double Drill 	 	Melee 	-- 	For this attack Megalon jumps into the air; his wings expand as he flies forwards with his hands held out and spinning, slowly losing altitude. He cannot stop the attack until he lands.
Strong Down 	Earthquake 	 	Melee 	30% 	Megalon's antennae twitch before he makes a giant stomp downwards, creating a tremor within a large radius. During the startup animation when his antennae twitch, nearby foes underground will become exposed, outlined in white; then, the tremor will force anything underground back up to the surface.
Strong Left/Right 	Power Drill 	 	Melee 	-- 	Megalon leaps up and swoops downwards and forwards, stabbing straight ahead and down with his hands as they spin quickly and menacingly.
Primary Weapon 1 	Napalm 	 	Weapon	20% 	Megalon releases a bomb from his mouth which detonates on the ground, causing damage to those who are in the vicinity for the explosion. Megalon can't be damaged by his own bombs, although he will flinch if he's too close.
Primary Weapon 2 	Mine Blast 	 	Weapon	25% 	Megalon fires a giant Napalm bomb from his mouth that rolls along the ground, not exploding until something touches it. After detonation, there will be residual fire in the area that lasts for nine seconds, which will burn any monsters who walk into it. Megalon himself is once again immune to his own bombs, as well as the fire from this attack.
Primary Weapon 2 	Mine Blast 	 	Weapon	25% 	Megalon fires a giant Napalm bomb from his mouth that rolls along the ground, not exploding until something touches it. After detonation, there will be residual fire in the area that lasts for nine seconds, which will burn any monsters who walk into it. Megalon himself is once again immune to his own bombs, as well as the fire from this attack.
Continuous Breath Weapon 	Beast-Killer Laser 	 	Weapon	25% per second	From his forehead horn Megalon unleashes a lightning bolt.
While grabbing foe, Throw 	Supflex 	 	Melee 	-- 	Megalon simply bashes his forehead horn into the opponent, then brings it underneath them, scoops them up, and launches them away.
While grabbing foe, Throw Up 	Dynamite Kick 	 	Melee 	-- 	Throwing his opponent up into the air, Megalon winds up and punts his foe straight up and away.
While grabbing foe, Throw Up 	Super Dynamite Kick 	 	Melee 	20% 	During the wind up, if Throw is pressed three times, this will instead become Super Dynamite Kick, which does even more damage and knockback at the cost of some Energy.
While grabbing foe, Throw Left 	Drill Crusher 	 	Melee 	-- 	The insectoid kaiju stabs his foe, making them stagger, before stabbing a few more times, the last one impaling the victim. Megalon raises his hand and uses his other drill to rip into their flesh before throwing them aside.
While grabbing foe, Throw Right	Overhead Spin 	 	Melee 	-- 	Megalon stabs his foe with his drill and lifts them above his head. He then rotates the drill, causing his enemy to spin before he throws them.
While grabbing foe, Throw Down 	Leech Probe 	 	Melee 	-- 	Megalon grabs onto his opponent and bites them four times, each time healing Megalon slightly and regaining some Energy.
Special Technique 	Burrow 	 	Melee 	-- 	Megalon dives into the ground to burrow. While underground, Energy regeneration stops. Megalon can stay underground for as long as he desires as almost nothing can hurt him, or until something forces him out(i.e., another Megalon using Earthquake nearby). Jump to reemerge, damaging anything nearby in the process.
Rage Attack 	Geothermal Napalm 	 	Weapon	25% 	Megalon jumps high into the air and fires three giant napalm bombs, one straight ahead and two to the sides. These bombs explode in a giant radius, leaving behind residual fire, and explode into four smaller bombs, which in turn explode into three very small bombs when they explode themselves.
