Kin Beast

The Kin Beast is a wild mutation of the Kin of Elements, Nature, and Gravity. The beast was created once the kin's were overwhelmed by Senoption's plague, powered by Indunar's chaos magic. It forced the protectors to mutate and lose their mind. The beast fought the Grief Rider, and later the Heralds of Retha. It was defeated and later restored after Senoption's downfall.

## Appearance

The Kin Beast's mutation is messy and horrific. The Kins of Nature and Gravity are mostly absorbed; only few physical remnants remain. However the Kin of Elements was largely unaffected, although he gained orange skin. The brown creature they were creating has a big eye and multiple underdeveloped limbs. Additionally, there is a huge mouth with black tongues.

## Brief History

When the Kin of Law entered Senoption in hopes of defeating him, they were finally overrun by the chaos-fueled plague. This caused the deities to mutate and merge in groups.

This group in particular fought the Grief Rider, lost, and later found the Heralds of Retha. Unable to control its actions, it lashed out at the heroes, using its weakened powers in an attempt to destroy them. The beast was unsuccessful, and once defeated, the Kin of Elements was able to exchange a few words with the Heralds. These kins were left behind as the Heralds went onward to Senoption's heart. Once Senoption's heart was destroyed the Kin Beast reverted back into its original counterparts.

## Abilities

The Kin Beast possesses various scrambled abilities from his components. Its powers are all weaker than the originals, but its mindless ferocity makes it a tough opponent.

* **Jump Stomp-** Using its monstrous body, it performs a simple leap into the air which comes down with an aggressive stomp. Let's the Kin Beast move very far from his original position.
* **Suction Tongue-** Making use of its multiple tongues, they incapacitate anyone very close to them and heals the beast when carrying someone.
* **Elemental Manipulation-** Although its a lot weaker than the original Kin of Elements, the Kin Beast can use elemental attacks against its adversaries.
	+ **Bramble-Ground-** This ability allows the beast to create a row of brambles that damage anyone who walks over them.

* **Nature Manpulation-** Although its a lot weaker than the original Kin of Nature, the Kin Beast can use environmental attacks against its adversaries.
	+ **Vine Entanglement-** After creating several vines, they can snare three different opponents at once. A strong opponent could potentially escape. Additionally the vines carry damaging thorns.
	+ **Chaos Wolf-** A combination of Chaos and Nature magic, a corrupted wolf is released and seeks out any enemy in it's line of sight.

* **Gravity Manipulation-** Although its a lot weaker than the original Kin of Gravity, the Kin Beast can use gravitational attacks against its adversaries.
	+ **Gravity Crush-** This power uses gravity itself to briefly crush and damage an enemy.
	+ **Gravity Node-** The beast can create a gravitational pull around himself. Attracts enemies close enough to the pull. This move is useful for getting close to a target.
	+ **Debris Slam-** Attracts objects to the node instead of people. Can be used on an opponent to have rocks fly at them.

## Weaknesses

* **Feral Nature-** The Kin Beast's mutation turned its mind into a mess. While the Kin of Elements could still somewhat speak, the agressive nature of the beast prevents him from thinking clearly. The beast will attack anyone in its path regardless of who they may be.

## Trivia

* The Kin of Elements being affected differently is because of the nature of Chaos Magic. This particular kin was 'accepted' by the magic, in the same way the Chaos Core accepted Indunar.
* This is just one of the multiple Kin Beast's created. The other groups include Life, Death, Time | Dimensions, Spirits, Galaxies | and Minds.
