The Towering One

The Towering One is an Eldritch Abomination that first appeared in the book The Autistic Hero 2: It is a Cosmic Horror that originates from the planet Kepler 22b and is the largest life form on that planet. its body is completely made of flora and more tree-like materials but it seems to be some kind of Elder God because of its effects on humans. When Xenith Stephenson tells his friend Ahiko Maverick about his encounter with the monster she gets a massive migraine just from hearing its name but Shin Huanglong and Sun Wukong is visibly unaffected by the name. The Towering One is usually a benevolent creature that is said to be the High Sorcerer of the planet's Magic and Special Anomalies that aren't biologically possible. The Towering One in the stories surprisingly gets infected by the Primordial Anger and is a confirmation even elder gods are helpless against this galactic threat. The Towering One currently is corrupting the less intelligent life such as the Tiger Grass which are acting as its eyes in order to kill and use the corpses of its chosen victims as a host for the virus. once the towering one figures out that Xenith, Tolup, and Ahiko are searching for it makes the monster get enraged and began to use the very flora itself to try killing them. Eventually they reach the Towering One's lair which is in a mysterious portal rift at first is impenetrable until Xenith manages to decipher some ruins beside the rift and saying them in his mind opened the portal allowing them to go and calm the beast. The Towering One rendered Ahiko useless during the fight due to not being able to comprehend such an impossible being and this limited the amount of hostility towards it until Shin Huanglong realized he needed to step into action. a long fight ensues and The Towering One is defeated but not killed. If the towering one is killed then the entire ecosystem will go normal and the Florasapiens will go extinct in a matter of days so they resort to knocking it out the same way xenith knocked out The Rainbow Serpent. The Primordial Anger leaves the Elder God and it becomes peaceful again. Upon understanding it was saved from that mind control it blesses the three heroes the spell Nature's Wrath before de-manifesting.

## Biology

The Towering One physically resembles a massive Nundibranch with a long draconic tail instead of a Foot(The snail's suction pad it uses to slide around) which resembles another sharp claw at the end. the entire creature is dark green and has roots composing its entire body. it has a very large starved torso and wide bulky shoulders with clawed dragon hands reaching the ground and dragging with it 300 meter claws which scrape across the ground. the monster's face is that of a faceless black Smoke snail only it can still see somehow with the 2 hexagonal dots on its face. the creature has long tendrils coming out of the beginning of its spine which are constantly bending and folding inwards making impossible shapes. these are able to shove into the ground and manipulate the surrounding flora like a psychic puppet master. the creature also has massive Ship-like sails going from the start of its ribcage to the beginning of its tail. This being also has some kind of core within its concealed ribcage which is likely a Dead light that has allowed the creature construction of its body to manifest in this reality. In its base form we see in the books it is a humongous length of 20,000 meters long with a head about 60 meters tall making it even longer than The Rainbow Serpent in overall material length.

### Core Form:

Whenever the main body of the towering one is destroyed its Rib Cage opens up and the 200 meter diameter Light yellow and orange dead light which has rainbow flames around it and it is see through and one can see a wrinkly rainbow sphere in the middle resembling a spherical brain. This is its true form that humans can't comprehend but it seems other eldritch horrors can understand what it is. Now it uses Florakinesis to form fists and even sets of jaws in front of the orb to deal more damage to enemies.

## Abilities

Madness Manipulation: The Towering One much like traditional eldritch abominations is able to make humans go mad with a deadly migraine if it is seen. this can be further initiated after they look into its Dead Light which will take control of them however it isn't shown.

Biology Manipulation: The Towering One's physical body is only a temporary one that was made by its true form which isn't comprehensible to humans but one Xenith Stephenson can accurately depict. this body is able to be self regenerated and built by the anomalous being from any kind of plant but it prefers this form as it drives fear into those with Megalophobia.

Nightmare Manifestation: The Towering One once seen by an evil human will portray itself within their dream in order to torment them and use that person's own imagination to attack them in the subconscious.

Telepathy: The Towering One can use long distance telepathy with anything with sentience.

Florakinesis: The Towering One is able to control plant-life and Mushroom life with its mind-controlling roots coming from its spine. this can mean that it can even use a single grass blade to choke a man to death. trees are used as clubs, Mushrooms are used as status ailments to slow enemies down with spores taking them over, and also manipulating the flora-fauna of the planet such as Tiger Grass at its command.

Nature's Wrath: A very deadly move, the towering one draws energy from the planet's ecosystem itself before manifesting many light beams with green lines coming out from the ground, flowers, trees, mushrooms, and even rocks and water which blast and entertwine with each other making more powerful beams. this will cause immediate Madness takeover if a human is attacked by it. After this move is blessed to Xenith Stephenson and his 2 friends they instead get a variant which is another punching move only once they punch with a glowing white orb around their fist with glowing green energy lines around it they cause sharp neon green hexagons to come out of the fist to hit AOE targets.

Seasonal Control: The Towering One can control the seasons with its mighty power. this is used against Xenith and his friends after it immediately turns it winter so that snow comes and makes their trip up Ruined Mountain a tormenting task.

Eldritch Howl: Whenever in the presence of many humans, the Towering One will unleash an ungodly howling roar and send razor sharp sound waves into the ears of its victims which cut up and cause Mega-Bleed to their eardrums.

## Trivia

The Towering One is the first real Eldritch Horror in the books.

The Towering One is based heavily off of the bio-monster Biollante from the 1989 film Godzilla vs Biollante. It also pulls inspiration from Stephen King's novel The Mist.

The Towering One is the exact same length as the monster Ghidorah from the 2018 Toho anime Godzilla: The Planet Eater. This comparison once again could be one of its many inspirations.
