Name: Ookai’s Back
Story appearances: Antrodus Series
Size: 900 meters X 245 meters total area above the surface
Description:
Ookai is a massive pliosaur-based beast, easily one of the most massive beasts of all time. A monster among monsters, Ookai often spends time up at the surface, and monsters occasionally fight on his back, sometimes without knowing it’s another beast. Ookai has thick, rubbery skin like a whale, and other than a few barnacles is very smooth and slippery.
Hazards and Notable Landmarks: Not really any notable landmarks, since Ookai lacks any sort of spines or such. Hazards are also few and far between, mostly consisting of falling off of the massive monster’s wet hide. However, even though most glancing melee attacks won’t cut his immense hide, a direct beam will piss off the giant, causing him to roll, dive, or, if he can reach, bite. Fighting on Ookai’s head pisses him off, with falling into his huge nostrils a genuine threat (sure, they’ld get sneezed out, but still, not a desirable situation for anyone), and god forbid anything steps on his eye. The complete lack of cover and sensitivity of the arena itself encourages direct melee combat, and providing a real disadvantage to hit and run tactics, beam-spammers, and you can FORGET about burrowing.
