Quadratos

Physiology
Quadratos is a large, predominantly gray-skinned Bypaldian with bluish-gray stripes akin to those of a tiger. A pair of long horns emerge from the top of its head in a V-shaped formation. It also has a noticeable underbite, with slightly enlarged canine teeth protruding from its lower jaw. Its most defining feature is its four arms. The first pair of arms is located in the normal position while the second pair of arms are located directly behind the first pair. The second pair is significantly larger than the first pair, boasting superior musculature and length. The second pair of arms are also equipped with large claws on their fingers. Its forearms sport lighter gray coloration. Its legs are also quite muscular with the lower legs being light gray.

Abilities
As previously stated, Quadratos possesses four arms, giving it superior physical strength compared to other monsters. In battle it fists can become charged with electricity, allowing it to deliver electrified punches or electrocute foes if it manages to grab them. It can even fire a beam of electricity if it puts all four of its hands together.

Habitat Range
Quadratos is native to the Shimmering Coast.

Ecological Niche
Quadratos is considered one of two apex predators of the Shimmering Coast. It is an omnivore, eating just about anything it finds edible: fruits, seeds, mushrooms, roots, tubers, live prey, and carrion. With little competition thanks to its strength, the only monster it will actively avoid is the Elder Dragon Diphonias.

Biological Adaptations
Quadratos possesses four arms, a trait that makes it stand out amongst Bypaldians. Its four arms arose from a mutation triggered long ago by Diphonias's radiation, which was then passed down. Researchers are unsure as to what the species looked like before its mutation, but it is theorized that it's not a drastic difference. The secondary pair of arms are noticeably larger than the first pair, as they have more musculature, are longer in length, and sport claws on the fingers. These gives the Bypaldian immense physical strength, allowing it to lift up to more than one 1 ton. Its hands contain electricity generating organs, creating electrical energy from mechanical energy. In battle it fists will become charged with electricity, allowing it to electrocute enemies on contact. It can even fire a beam of electricity if it puts all four of its hands together, but this will drain it of all electricity it has built up. It walks around on two legs, but has been seen to run on all fours, using its second pair of arms as forelegs while the first pair are held close to the body.

Behavior
Quadratos is very aggressive and equally territorial. It will attack almost anything on sight.
