Sceloporus

Sceloporus (ハリトカゲ, *Sukeroporousu*) is an Adjuchas-class Hollow who after the Vanishing has grown aspirations to climb the hierarchy of whats left of the Hollow society and become one of the now very few Vasto Lorde, and establish a Hollow empire in the Human World. He has met his end at the hands of Sasaki Kuchiki after a brief fight atop a skyscraper in Manhattan where he was cut in twain and struck by lightning from Sasaki's Zanpakuto, Arashi.

## Appearance

Sceloporus' physical body is that of an immense bipedal reptile covered in what looks to be stone plate armor that is adorned with numerous sharp spines made of the same material. His mask evokes the imagery of an ancient reptile with a maw littered plentifully with teeth and accompanied by a large under-bite. His arms and hands are asymmetric with the left arm having a bulky rectangular protrusion which he uses as a shield, his left hand being somewhat humanoid hand although it lacks the last finger. His right however is rather strange in comparison to other Hollow. His right arm is bulky and more heavily-plated in the same grey material near elbow, reinforcing it. From the forearm down, a large spear-like protrusion made from what the rest of body is juts out, completely replacing the hand in functionality.

## Personality

Sceloporus' personality is cold and calculating, focused on achieving his goal and will dominate and remove any who stand in his path. Although unlike many Hollow, he is not very sadistic and doesn't take a perverse glee in killing and torturing others, preferring to finish it quickly During quiet moments where he is alone by himself he will often stare off into the distance, reminiscing on his past and current life.

## History

### Past

Sceloporus is an oddity amongst Hollows, not originally being from Japan, or Asia in general, but coming from what was at one point the Roman Empire. How exactly he reached Japan is unknown, however what is known about how he reached Eastern Asia is only what he has said. That being as an officer who was traded to the Han dynasty to exchange military tactics. What happened after he won't speak on other than he understands what Caesar felt on his last day, but what he believes is his reason for being a lingering spirit of resentment is the day of his death and anger at his failure for not aiding his country in expanding and establishing more ties to others.

### Once in a Blue Moon Arc

*Main article: Once in a Blue Moon*

After creating a rift from Hueco Mundo to the human world, Sceloporus takes perch a top of a sky scraper and watches from above the city of Manhattan, referring to cars as "Iron Horses". After gazing at the sights of the city he is interrupted by Sasaki Kuchiki who after suddenly appearing in front of the Hollow begins to quizically ask why he is there. The two exchange names and engage one another in combat, with Sceloporus demonstrating his extreme natural regeneration over the course of the conflict. After a brief fight atop a skyscraper in Manhattan he was cut in twain and struck by lightning from Sasaki's Zanpakuto, Arashi; dying from the wounds.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Dimensional Healing**: Like most if not all Hollows, Sceloporus can retreat to Hueco Mundo from the Human World in order to recover from any wounds he might sustain in combat.

* **Enhanced Strength**: Befitting of his size and bulk, Sceloporus can easily pierce stronger materials and send foes flying with his strength and power.

* **Immense Durability**:

* **Strategic Genius**:

* **Immense Regeneration Capabilities** Hollows can already heal themselves at an exceptionally quick rate, in comparison however Sceloporus' regeneration makes other Hollows appear as if they heal at standard rates. With his wounds closing in mere seconds after an injury is inflicted.

## Techniques

* **Hollowed Spear**: A technique using the lance-like growth protruding from his right arm. Entering into a low crouch on his three standard limbs, he pulls his right arm back to the furthest extant that his anatomy will allow before flying forward violently and extending his arm with the intent to skewer the foe on protrusion. The attack itself leaves a large amount of lingering Reiatsu in the wound, proving exceptionally lethal to any Quincy who may cross his path.

## Trivia

* His name is a genus of reptile known as Sceloporus, which directly translates to spiny lizard.
* His appearance is Fossil Warrior Skull Bone from Yu-Gi-Oh.
* He speaks in a very outdated and rough dialect of Japanese, often referring to others in terms and phrases that fell out of usage years ago.
