ComPoster

**Debut** | TBA

**ComPoster** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Nogarab/Human hybrid from the planet Botongus.

## Appearance

ComPoster is a large semi-reptilian humanoid alien with a flower-shaped head, featuring an enormous pair of bright yellow jaws emerging from the top and surrounded with petal-like falps, a large singular eye surrounded with black veins, and four dark gray roots respectively hanging from the front and back of the bottom of his head. ComPoster has a long, slender dark gray body, with large yellow shoulders lined with orange petals around the sides of his head and dark red thorns, very slender white arms tipped with extremely long red tentacles resembling that of claws, a large row of red spikes running down his backside, stout tentacle-shaped legs without any distinguishable feet, and a very long tail.

ComPoster wears five Simplicitrix symbols on his stomach, each of which surrounded with triangular prongs in the shape of flower petals.

## Powers

* ComPoster can capture and imprison individuals, imprisoning them with a designated location while creating clones out of them to take their place, and although he cannot clone specific powers and abilities, such as magic, he can create organic recreations of any technology that they have on their person, with the same location applying to the Simplicitrix and other similar devices should he be able to access and replicate their database of DNA samples.
	+ ComPoster's plant clones can use their plant-based physiology to shapeshift their forms, extend their limbs, regenerate from damage, and even burrow underground, all the while also being resistant towards the chlorokinesis of Methanosians. Their regeneration, burrowing, and resistance towards plant manipulation also applies to ComPoster himself, although significantly more so than them.
* ComPoster can spit pressurized bursts of goo from his mouth to knock back opponents and temporarily stun them.
* ComPoster can extend his prehensile roots outwards, allowing him to restrain and constrict opponents in order to drop them in his mouth and consume them whole.
* ComPoster can heal others through filling their wounds with plant matter, while also healing himself much faster than absorbing water and sunlight from the ground and sky respectively.
* ComPoster's hybridized physiology grants him much larger size than the average human, complete with enhanced strength, durability, and agility, on top of his sharp claws and shoulder spikes.

## Weaknesses

* ComPoster's most prominent weaknesses are fire, self-explanatory due to his plant-based physiology, but also peanuts due to the natural allergies of his species, both of which can cause him to shrivel up and die upon contact, with the same weaknesses also applying to his clones and whatever technology that he organically recreates. His peanut allergy also prevents him from trying to capture and clone people who have recently consumed peanuts.
* ComPoster's immunity towards plant manipulation isn't absolute, meaning those with high enough proficiency can take control over him and his clones.

## Etymology

* ComPoster's name is a play on "compost" and "imposter," referring to his cloning ability.
* ComPoster's species name is "Baragon" spelled backwards, referencing the kaiju of the same name.
* ComPoster's planet name is a play on "botany," "fungus," and "Among Us," referencing the 2018 online multiplayer social deduction game of the same name.

## Trivia

* ComPoster's is the third alien to be a hybrid by default, after Nanomech and DNAlan.
* ComPoster was inspired by the Plant Alien from the *Alien Force* episode, The Big Story, while his species name references the fact it reuses Baragon's roar from the 1965 kaiju film, *Frankenstein vs. Baragon*, and his color scheme also comes from a video game model of Baragon.
* ComPoster's design was made using a composite done by Grounder. The composite includes the head using the original canon Plant Alien he is based on, the torso and shoulder pads of PlantMan.EXE from *MegaMan Battle Network 3*, the tentacle-like arms of Nightmarionne from the *Five Nights at Freddy's 4 Halloween DLC*, the legs of Lurk, one of Tom Perkins' original aliens, the Passionflowers belonging to Quercus Alba from *Ace Attorney Investigations* on his navel as the basis for his Simplicitrix symbol locations, and one of Baragon's ears organized like back spikes.
