Catacombs of Saqqara

The **Catacombs of Saqqara** are a series of labyrinthine tunnels and caves located benath the Saqqara Pyramids in Egypt. These catacombs are the resting place for many species of Kaiju which were once revered as gods and goddesses to the ancient Egyptians, hibernating safe and hidden from the world above,

## Wildlife of the Catacombs

* **Abtu Fish** - A species of colossal golden cichlid, related closely to the Nile Tilapia. These fish feed upon the excrement of Kaiju and other creatures that is washed into the Catacombs waterways. They are also often seen flanking any large creature that wanders into the water, in hopes that they can get to any excreted waste first.
* **Bahariasaurus** - Blind, pale, cave-descendants of Cretaceous-era theropods that used to roam the area millions of years ago. They inhabit the deepest reaches of the catacombs caves, hunting prey using echolocation and heat-sensitive pits along their snouts.
* **Carcharodontosaurus** - Pale, almost blind descendants of huge theropod dinosaurs. These 40 foot lomg Carcharodontosaurs are adapted to weave through the twisting narrow passages of the catacombs. They are extremely flexible, able to contort their bodies in seemingly impossible ways to pursue prey that they track using echolocation.
* **Catacomb Cobras** - a variety of Cobra species are found throughout the catacombs and caves. Many of which are well-adapted to life exclusively underground, and many more becoming much larger than their surface-dwelling relatives, reaching up to 20 feet in length.
* **Catacomb Crocodile** - relatively recent denizens of the catacombs, these relatives of the common Nile Crocodile are not too dissimilar than their amcestors, though they possess magnificent gold and rust-colored scales and have larger head with more exaggerated teeth.
* **Catacomb Frogs** - there is over a hundred different species of frogs that can be found in the Catacombs.
* **Medjed Elephant Fish** - one of the most common fish in the catacomb’s waterways the Medjed fish is constantly emitting weak electric pulses, which it uses to navigate in the darkness, locate prey and to communicate with others of its kind. The Medjed fish is also capable of producing strong electric shock to stun their prey and dissuade predators from trying to eat them.
* **Pristichampsus**
* **Saqqara Catacomb Fishes**
* **Saqqara Locusts**
* **Saqqara Scarabs**
* **Sarcosuchus**
* **Seaman**
* **Set Beast**
* **Spinosaurus** - Huge semi-aquatic fish-eaters, that dwell along the banks of the underground waterways. They possess eerie bioluminescent patterns on their sails, which they can flash and strobe to communicate with other Spinosaurs.

### Kaiju

* **Anubis** - Genus: Canis; Revered as the god of death, mummification, embalming, the afterlife, cemeteries, tombs, and the Underworld, in ancient Egyptian religion. Titanus Anubis is a completely black canine Titan with close affinities to the Golden Jackal. Titanus Anubis is a scavenger of other Titan species, fossil evidence suggests the species was one of the most common and populous Titan species in prehistory before most mega organisms died off.
* **Anuket -** Genus: Struthio; This Ostrich Titan was known as the “nourisher of the fields” to the ancient Egyptians, and for good reason, as her life radiation is seemingly more concentrated than many of her contemporaries, allowing growth and evolution at a much faster rate than other titans. Titanus Anukis’s Megaorganism Ecosystem is rich and diverse, comprised primarily of Mesozoic-era Reptiles and Eocene Mammals (aside from invertebrates), few Erratic-esque creatures live on her. Anuket is flightless but capable of running at speeds of over 230mph.
* **Bast -** Genus: Felis, 1 Female, Litter of 6 kittens of indeterminate sex; A creature closely related to the Sand Cat and Domestic Cat, Bast personifies the playfulness, grace, affection, and cunning of a cat, as well as the fierce power of a lioness. Bast is an apex predator able to bring down and feed off many megaorganisms in her environment.
* **Hathor** - Genus: Bos; Hathor is one of the largest known Kaiju, and has one of the most expansive Megaorganism Ecosystems dwarfing even Pacha-Kamaq and Pestilence’s biospheres. Hathor is a cow-like creature and so relatively docile most of the time, lest she feel threatened, under such circumstances will fight ferociously and due to her heavy musculature is extremely strong and dangerous. Hathor’s horns are adorned with Gold, Copper, Turquoise and Malachite, said gemstones have actually fused with the bone, reinforcing and strengthening them significantly.
* **Heket** - Genus: Amietophrynus; This Frog Kaiju sleeps dormant in a cocoon of her own spawn, a wriglling mass of neotenic male tadpoles swarm about her as well serving as a defense against potential predators. The mucous coating her body is a powerful cure-all.
