Clover

**Clover** is a major character in CLOVER Franchise. He is an ancient underwater life form.

He is also Beatrice's best friend.

## Personality

Though only a young infant, Clover is shown to be easily spooked and agitated as seen in Cloverfield. However, he isnt afraid to retaliate and battle against the military to save himself or Beatrice, as seen from the HAMMERDOWN protocol in the end of the first film.

Over time, he became more confident, courageous and determined, as Beatrice slowly began to train him out of his negative baby traits. He would begin to defend his place as both the saviour of his species and a teammate to Beatrice.

Though still a youngster, he doesnt fail to show great affection and respect for Beatrice. He is always present to save her from trouble and take action in finishing what she started. He tries reasoning with her when she gets into hot water with the military and will not act immediately till it is reasonable to.

## Appearance

Clover is a 240-300 foot high quadruped with a long tri-fork finned tail. The uppermost double-jointed limb pair is longer than the other two, ending in a multi-fingered hand which can bend backward so that Clover can walk on his fingers. The double-jointed, squat legs are powerful enough to support Clover's mass, and yet still allow him to move relatively quickly for an organism of his size. Each of his feet are 30–40 feet in length, roughly the size of a city transit bus. Clover is covered in grey skin that exhibits a white pallor, possibly due to an absence of light on the ocean floor.

The skin is also host to thousands of dog-sized parasites creatures.

His head has sharp, bony features and two eyes with pupils large enough to almost obscure their requisite sclera from view. His face resembles that of a piranha or an angler fish. There are a set of membranous sacks on either side of the head behind the eyes, which inflate and recede back into the head.

Tucked between his legs are two "external esophagi". The esophagi are used to eat creatures much smaller than him (humans and any other large animals). The esophagi were first clearly seen when Hud looks up at the monster before it bites him. The esophagi end with teeth-like projections. It devoured several dozen Central Park carriage horses with, as well as (most likely) the people that Marlena mentioned he was was eating when it moved down Broadway.

Clover's skin showed a strong resistance to projectile weaponry, due to the immensely high resistance deep-sea creatures have shown against heat and pressure due to their environmental conditions. Shells from M1A2 tanks and M109A6 Paladins, AT-4 rockets and FGM-148 Javelin missile launchers, AGM-65 Mavericks and Mk-82 bombs and other high-powered ordnance failed to do anything other than aggravate and frighten him.

## Diet

Clover's diet covers a large array of foods. The first hint at his diet was when a photo of whales he had partially consumed appeared on a beach. In Cloverfield, Marlena says she saw him "eating people". The exterior esophagi are the right size to consume humans, among other things. Other amateur video footage of the Cloverfield event reveal that he was also seen eating multiple horses at the same time with these tubes. However, he also eats humans with his mouth, as it bit one of the main characters in half.
