GODZILLA: Ceaseless Combat/Anguirus

Anguirus is a playable character in GODZILLA: Ceaseless Combat and one of the game's first four starting monsters. He is based on the second Showa incarnation of the character who first appeared in Destroy All Monsters(1968), albeit with a few added embellishments.
==BACKSTORY==
A descendant of the herbivorous Ankylosaurus, Anguirus is a relic from the Cretaceous, a kaiju who evolved to become far larger and ascended to a carnivorous lifestyle in the process. The first adversary of Godzilla, the two battled in a devastating fight that brought ruin to Osaka, with Anguirus possessing greater agility than his rival despite his size. Many years later, Anguirus would come to be a loyal friend and follower of Godzilla, assisting him in combat against threats to the world. What Anguirus lacks in special abilities and size he more than makes up for with a tenacity and determination of spirit that makes him impossible to shove aside.
==GAMEPLAY==
Specializing entirely in close-quarters combat, Anguirus is one of the only monsters to not have a long-ranged beam that can lock with other beams. He more than makes up for it with commendable speed and combo-ability, however, and despite his physical strength not being outstanding his ability to easily rack up combos make that point moot. His spiked carapace also protects him very well from physical strikes, causing those who hit his spikes to recoil and flinch in pain, although weapons do give him some trouble.

Input 	Name 	Element	Type 	Energy Cost 	Description
High Attack 	Scratch 	 	Melee 	-- 	A simple claw swipe is Anguirus' primary attack. The attack doesn't do much damage, but it also doesn't have much knockback, meaning Anguirus can land one after the other without worry of the foe falling out of reach.
High Up 	Flail 	 	Melee 	-- 	Anguirus jumps up and slightly forwards, then turns as he flails his tail below him to damage those who might be struck by it.
High Down 	Tail Slam 	 	Melee 	-- 	Quickly Anguirus turns around and slams his tail down on the ground like a hammer.
High Left/Right 	Lesser Chomp 	 	Melee 	-- 	Anguirus reaches out with his head and chomps with his jaws.
Low Attack 	Flip Tail Strike 	 	Melee 	-- 	In possibly among the fanciest of all basic attacks, Anguirus leaps backwards into the air while swinging his tail in front of him. The attack is hard to land unless the foe is right up to Anguirus due to how he moves backwards, but it's effective if Anguirus needs to make a quick escape for whatever reason.
Low Up 	Headbutt 	 	Melee 	-- 	Anguirus leaps forwards while swinging down with his head.
Low Down 	Mule Drop 	 	Melee 	-- 	The quadruped turns around and leaps backwards while kicking with both his back legs.
Low Left/Right 	Bone Upper 	 	Melee 	-- 	Anguirus lowers his head, then quickly raises it up in an uppercut while making a small leap.
Strong Attack 	Carapace Shell Slam 	 	Melee 	20% 	The strongest attack in Anguirus' arsenal aside from his Rage Attack, Anguirus backs up a step before quickly turning around and jumping backwards to strike the foe with his spiked carapace. Should he hit a foe, the sheer momentum of the attack will send them flying a long distance, but if he completely fails to hit anything there will be a long delay before he manages to flip himself over and rise to his feet once more.
Strong Up 	Helicopter Tail 	 	Melee 	-- 	Anguirus curls into a ball and rapidly spins with his tail held out, lifting off the ground slightly in the process. The attack can hit a foe up to four times, with the first three leading into the next and the fourth launching a decent distance.
Strong Down 	Revolving Tail Strike	 	Melee 	-- 	Anguirus stands on his forearms and does a small somersault, while his tail swings in the air to strike any foe it might come in contact with.
Strong Left/Right 	Dragon Bite 	 	Melee 	-- 	Quickly, Anguirus stampedes forwards, head held low. Should he hit something during his charge, he will stop and headbutt upwards before delivering a series of fast bites.
Primary Weapon 1 	Rumble Roller 	 	Melee 	20% 	Anguirus quickly rolls a long distance forwards. He can jump during this, much like when rushing.
Primary Weapon 2 	Aerial Dive Bomb 	 	Melee 	34% 	Rolling into a ball, Anguirus launches himself in the direction of a nearby opponent.
Continuous Breath Weapon 	Sonic Roar 	 	Weapon	25% per second	Anguirus unleashes a loud roar. This doesn't do much damage due to his low Energy stat, but stuns foes and pushes them away, meaning it's good for possibly interrupting their beam weapon or combo. Every two seconds or so, Anguirus will briefly pause before roaring more.
While grabbing foe, Throw 	Bite 	 	Melee 	-- 	Anguirus lunges and bites the neck of the foe several times before letting go and shoving them to the ground.
While grabbing foe, Throw Up/Left/Right	Throw 	 	Melee 	-- 	Anguirus places his victim on his spiky carapace and bucks, sending his enemy flying.
While grabbing foe, Throw Down 	Maul 	 	Melee 	-- 	With his front claws, Anguirus drags the target down to the ground, then leaps on them and rips at their neck a few times.
Rage attack 	Diving Body Slam 	 	Melee 	-- 	Anguirus curls into a ball and rolls forwards before doing two leaps, the second bigger than the first. After the second, Anguirus does a giant leap and goes completely off the screen, unable to be seen save for his shadow on the ground. He can be controlled at all times during the attack; five seconds later, Anguirus comes crashing down. He creates a tremor in his vicinity should he hit the ground instead of an actual opponent, but should he hit a foe he will bounce on them, hammering them into the ground a few times before launching off.
