This stage presents the most radical deviation from Rygama's rygalisaurus base, but also remains her current form due to its effectiveness, as well as the comfort it offers her.

After healing from her battle with Wendigo, Rygama altered her body to be more suited for amphibious combat. At the cost of her failed spine-launchers, Rygama's limbs were modified once again into land-based appendages. Powerful legs were generated to support her, while her foreflippers were modified into lengthy arms, each tipped with semi-retractable claws, intended to allow her to rip an enemy into bite-sized pieces with her bare hands. She was quite through with ranged weapons.
Her armor was bulked up and her natural weaponry was grotesquely exaggerated, creating a truly fearsome close-quarters fighter.

Perhaps the most notable modifications, however, are the wings. Being a creature that grew up floating freely in the air, Rygama is understandably more comfortable in the air(this is also part of the reason for her preference for an aquatic environment, as it replicates the sensation of flight).

The use of high-frequency insect-like wings allows Rygama to fly with respectable grace and skill, while also maintaining her heavy, armored form, not unlike a beetle. Also like a beetle, these delicate appendages tuck under her carapace when not in use.

Naturally, Rygama's powerfully muscled arms, heavy carapace and ridiculously concentrated upper body muscle to accomodate her wings forces her to walk in a quadrupedal stance most of the time. This is a minor inconvenience, however.

After its initial test run and several subsequent battles, Rygama has yet to seriously alter her form again. Though far from invincible, this form has served her well time and time again. There's some question as to whether or not she even *can* change again, perhaps having bonded with it completely.

***

And THAT, folks, is how Rygama went from armor-plated mosasaur to omnipedal dinosaur/bear/bug-beast.

I thought Rygama was pretty bitch’n before, but now she is, like, SUPER BITCH’N! I always loved the more heavily armored giant monsters, and Rygama wears her armor well. Props to you Rygama, props to you.
Wow, one thing I've always liked about your monsters is how you always accomodate some common sense into your designs. I never would have imagined that she walks on all fours most of the time. Being that top heavy would require it though. Makes me want to draw her some time.

It's not that I don't like society, It's that I've been forced to live out side of it due to the over whelming force of: conservatives, conformists, liberals, republicans, democrats, enviromentalists, terrorists, right wingers, religous zealots, media...
Rygama, is really a great concept and design. I find it a very interesting kaiju. Have you ever done a color version?

yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift - that is why we call it the present
I'd like to, but I don't have the resources available at the moment. Hopefully I can try my hand at it when I go down to my dad's.

Thanks!
Very cool.

If I ever get Omegaken done, I wouldn't mind a versus picture of him fighting Rygama.
The question is, what part of her DOESN'T cause damage when she applies herself?
