Let's get back to Amhuluk.
This video is divided into three parts.
Amhuluk’s origins, It’s story in the monsterverse, and its special powers and Anatomy.
Lets begin with the origins and history of this creature - and by the way..This section
will get pretty disturbing, so skip ahead if you can’t handle this.
The legend of amhuluk originates from Kalapuya folklore.
These were an indigenous tribe in what is now the state of Oregon.
The myth states that Amhuluk was located near a lake near Forked Mountain, about fifteen
miles west of Forest Grove.
Here is where the horrendous dragon-like creature was spotted.
This monster was described as a quadruped creature with long upward facing horns on
its skull.
It’s body was covered in fur except its legs.
So this thing looked pretty horrifying.
What's even more scary was what this creature enjoyed doing…
drowning others.
Here’s the messed up part of this monster.
An old Kalapuya tale states that three kids were wandering near the lake where this furry
dragon lived.
Once spotting its beautiful horns, these kids decided to jump on this dragon, take its horns
away and use it for tools.
Obviously this turned out to be a bad idea, resulting in two of these kids getting impaled
by the horns..
And staying there.
The oldest surviving child later went to tell his dad, who later came over only to witness
the impaled children say “we have changed bodies” before finally being drowned by
amhuluk..
Yea see I told you that you should've skipped ahead.
So now that we know the disturbing origins of this mythological creature.
Lets now talk about the Monsterverse Amhuluk.
This titan was first introduced in the film Godzilla King of the Monsters when it was
awakened by Ghidorah with orders to wreak havoc in populated areas.
But where?
We just discussed that this Cryptid amhuluk lived in a random lake in Oregon.
But not this Amhuluk.
This titan lived in Russia.
More specifically, near the Manpupuner rock formations, which so happens to be surrounded
by dense forests..
This is also important..stay tuned to see why later.
Before Ghidorah’s call to arms, Monarch had already set up camp in this area, building
a research and containment facility for Titanus Amhuluk.
But as most of us already know, this guy broke free from the enclosure and most likely headed
towards the tourist center nearby, destroying buildings, roads, and ultimately killing off
anyone who got in the way…This area of the map is sparsely populated..
The next most inhabited city is 100 miles away so we can guess that Amhuluk could have
headed west to extend its path of destruction.
The idea was for all the titans to converge in Boston, and finish off Godzilla.
But only 5 titans decided to show up.
Fast forward a few months, and the titans begin stirring up trouble again - including
Amhuluk.
This time, he's attacking one of the more benevolent titans: Titanus Behemoth, a more
or less peaceful but powerful titan known for its massive tusks attached to its skull.
But not even these could protect it from this freak of nature.
In the graphic novel Godzilla Dominion Amhuluk travels down all the way to Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil - Another densely wooded area and more populated.
Here Amhuluk decides to pick a fight with Titanus Behemoth and proceeds to land the
first blow by knocking off one of Behemoth’s tusks.
This titan apparently has some sort of elasticity property in its limbs, allowing it to reach
far and deal tremendous damage.
This is looking good for Amhuluk but then…
they got company.
Important thing to note here, The graphic novel proceeds to mention that both of these
titans are fighting for 1 thing.
Resources.
So this is about to get ugly.
Behemoth spits back with a hard blow with its remaining tusk.
An impact that manages to knock the teeth out of Amhuluk.
But remember, Titanus Amhuluk has better range, and throws a punch so powerful that it knocks
Behemoth flat on his ass.
Godzilla arrived just on time to witness this.
It was his prerogative as the alpha to decide who keeps this particular territory.
Godzilla's role in this planet is to establish order, and supervise the restoration of nature.
So that said, the better candidate to keep this jungle was Behemoth..
If you didn't know, this guy’s colossal feces act as a hyper-fertilizer, allowing
plants to grow back at alarming rates..
Thus helping restore fair oxygen levels for the whole planet.
Amhuluk’s win in this battle would undo all of that.
As Amhuluk drags Behemoth to drown him in deeper water, Godzilla intervenes by tossing
him to the nearby rocky formation.
This angers Amhuluk, but he's now facing a much more powerful titan - so he proceeds
to bow in front of Godzilla, as an act of submission.
Being saved by Godzilla, Behemoth re-enters his now abandoned Monarch enclosure that was
built on top of him a few years back.
Amhuluk on the other end, now has to find another place to call home.
So why didn't Amhuluk put up a fight against Godzilla?
What about him prevented him from taking this enormous risk?
To find out Let's enter the Titan Analysis Platform.
Titanus Amhuluk is one of those titans that you look at and have no idea how to classify
it.
That’s because there is no other creature in the natural world that is composed in the
same way.
By closely observing the textures and corporal composition of this monster, we see that it
resembles rooty or wooden textures sourced from aberrated vegetation.
Meaning that this animal is most likely about 90% made of - you guessed it..
Trees, roots, moss, vines, and anything that could be sourced from the surrounding flora.
In this section we will be quoting a few comments from artist Drew Edward Johnson, The Illustrator
of this kaiju.
Perhaps the most important takeaway from this titan is the fact that this monster, believe
it or not, is actually composed of a head, spinal cord, and extended nerve connections.
But what’s even more interesting is how this titan functions.
Its head houses an extremely powerful brain with a capability known as telekinesis.
This is a currently fictional ability to manipulate a physical space using nonphysical contact.
Similar to what you see in star wars, or other crazy movies.
Admittedly, this ability is a little too “ungrounded” on the Monsterverse’s more realistic take
on this universe.
But the concept is simple.
Using this extremely powerful brain, Amhuluk would be able to control the surrounding vegetation,
lifting it up and literally sculpting its own body to this shape: Two forelimbs, and
four legs.
Resulting In a highly maneuverable, flexible, and seemingly elastic kaiju.
This image gives the illusion that Amhuluk’s arms were elastic, but it was mentioned that
this was in fact, Amhuluk’s ability to telepathically move the elements creating his arm via telekinesis.
Meaning that the movement and speed of its arms weren’t powered by muscles, but with
its mind.
How does this work?
This is about to get really technical but bear with us.
This quote on quote “force” that allows Amhuluk to move things telepathically can
be explained by understanding particles known as gravitons.
These haven’t been proven to exist yet..
But in essence, these are the literal components that make up a gravitational force.
Let us explain.
Visible Light, radio waves, and other forms of radiation are made up of subatomic particles
known as photons..
Similarly in this theory, gravity is composed of gravitons.
In this case, amhuluk’s brain has the capability to manipulate these subatomic particles allowing
it to move objects.
This however does have limitations since it's mentioned that Amhuluk can only move plant
matter, not non-organic objects such as metal or concrete.
Now that we understand that Amhuluk’s body can only be made of densely packed vegetation
we now have the answer to two things..
Number 1.
As mentioned in the book, The reason Amhuluk and Behemoth fought over this territory was
because of resources.
Behemoth being an animal that resembled a vegetarian creature, most likely fed on you
guessed it, vegetation.
Amhuluk on the other end needed this same vegetation to source its body’s composition.
If you didn’t know, the Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world.
Containing millions of life forms including lush vegetation, trees, vines, and precisely
the type of stuff that Amhuluk would use to assemble its body together.
Remember, this guy originally came from a place already surrounded by trees, BUT this
place was even better, providing a huge variety of flora to further strengthen its corporal
build.
But being made out of vegetation can have its weaknesses.
Number 2.
Earlier in this video we mentioned that Amhuluk did not even bother to put up a fight against
Godzilla.
This guy wasn’t stupid either.
Picking a fight with another titan with incendiary capabilities would easily send a walking plant
to the end credits.
Not to mention that a bunch of vines and trunks jumbled up together would be relatively simple
to blast through.
Meaning that Amhuluk wouldn’t really ever pick fights with the likes of Ghidorah, MechaGodzilla,
and obviously the G man himself.
Back to this creature’s head.
Since this is the only true part of its real body this would technically mean that the
only way to really kill off this creature, is to destroy its head.
Any injuries to its artificial body wouldn't really be detrimental to this titan’s wellbeing
as it would easily just replace the lost body parts with more surrounding vegetation, that
said.
It has been theorized by the creators of this titan that this process of regenerating or
recuperating body parts can be a lengthy process.
This includes locating suitable material to create the new limbs, and intertwining its
nerve endings to the vegetation itself.
It is also theorized that this animal leaves behind a trail of toxic discharge to the surrounding
areas, if true, this would be yet another reason why Godzilla decided to have Behemoth
live here..
Instead of having this toxic fella jeopardize the world’s oxygen supply.
Today we learned that this animal is the strangest the Monsterverse has in its array of titans.
But are there weirder things out there?
Check out these videos and see if you can find a stranger kaiju and let us know which
one is your favorite!
