The Hunter

Introduction
''What can be said about this creature. Giant, tough, nigh invincible. I have spent ten years trying to kill it and yet it walks on. I near the end of my days but perhaps someday my notes will aid in its downfall. - Cedar Umbris''

The Discovery
''The day I found it I knew it must be killed. It stood there amongst the ruins of a village all of the inhabitants dead. Then just like that it charged into the trees. After having observed it for so long I have learned much about its habits and what it seeks. With all that I have seen only one name comes to mind The Hunter. - Cedar Umbris''

Appearance

 * The Hunter stands at some 9 meters tall. It's body and tail equaling at to roughly twice its height some 58 ft long.
 * Its body covered in dense white plates of bone with small openings between them. Its lower arms sheathed in an unbroken gauntlet of bone and its legs with two great plates on the front of each.Img022 (2).jpg

Weaponry and Abilities - Logs of Cedar Umbris
Hands and Claws - It slashes at those unfortunate enough to near its giant claws though it oft prefers to crush its opponents rather than to cut them down.

Tail - I have only witnessed it use its tail for battle once. It was surrounded by a band of Hunters there were five in total. It struck quickly breaking the first targets aura with its first strike and impaling with the second. It proceeded to fling the fallen huntsman at his allies. After which it slaughtered the others with its arms and legs.

Legs and Feet - The heavy bone upon its legs are tough to say the least. However the backs of its legs are seemingly unarmored. It prefers to use its feet to grasp opponents and flatten them against the ground.

Head - The ridges upon its head seem to be for blocking projectile strikes although from its fights I find they are wholly unnecessary. Its eyes appear to be tough enough to withstand blasts of dust and the biting claws of its true query. I have upon occasion heard its roar. An earsplitting whistle that sounds as if some horrid phantasm had pulled itself from the ground to howl throughout the forest.

Spines - The spines upon the back of its neck appear to have no purpose at first glance. However after enough observation I have notice that it swivels them around often when in the presence of other grimm or when it encounters a human settlement.

The Rogue - That's what i'm calling its query. It hunts it and only gives pause to crush any group of human or faunas that it comes across. The rogue is fast and more than capable of outrunning The Hunter something tells me that its hunt has gone on for centuries.

Hands and Claws - Avoid at all costs. Lost two of our team to them. Capable of cutting through most armor. Its best if we only engage at long distance from here on out.

Legs - As weak as its armor is turns out it didn't need armor there. Carmine blasted them both off, course the next day its legs were back seems like it can regenerate limbs. We'll be testing that out soon enough it has to have limits.

Head - Our heavy AP rounds couldn't break its skull course it looked like it would collapse from brain damage but it kept on walking. The eyes have a white sheet of bone that can pull down over them. The worst part of facing this thing is its breathing though. Sounds like a ghost wailing everytime it breaths and it's worse when it's angry.

Spines - Seems like it has a few uses for them. As far as we all can tell is that it can hear with them. That doesn't mean it doesn't have actual ears just that it has a few redundant systems if you take one out. Course besides hearing it also seems to use them to identify friend from foe my guess is it needs to when it closes its eyes.

Regeneration - The first time we saw it regrow its limbs we were dumbfounded now its normal. It doesn't seem to have a limit to the amount of damage it can restore of course we haven't managed to sever anything important to it as of yet. The greatest damage was blasting of all of its limbs, but they still came back afterwards.

Berserk - I - I oh **** what did I witness. We had we almost had it. Then it got up it's limbs shouldn't have grown back yet, but they did. Then its jaw broke open. That roar it - it was horrifying. It was so fast too fast. I recommended we stop the hunt for now we need more people for this.
