The kaiju is a giant bipedal gila monster with immensely clawed hands and an even more immense temper. For millions of years within the North American landscape did a Seed of Creation remain dormant, its shell untouched and compact. Shifting landmasses and earthquakes ended up splitting the seed open, the great amniotic fluid slipping out into the chamber far below. An ancient species of lizard - the modern ancestor to the Gila monster - was skulking about through some burrows after some mammals when the tunnel gave way. It fell into the chamber below and was absorbed by the amniotic fluid, managing to survive and evolve at an advanced rate. Eons later would humans evolve, advance, and begin harvesting and stripping the Earth of its natural - and unnatural - resources. A span of land they began establishing on was called the Permian Basin, rich with a supply of underground petroleum. Oil fields and wells were constructed all across the land in order to harvest the fossil fuels for profit, ultimately contaminating the land around and beneath as well as polluting the air. Corporate interests pushed back and won against environmental safety and resulted in more oil fields being built, with one of them being right over the chamber where the kaiju inhabited. When they drilled too deep, they had awoken the beast and agitated it. The great kaiju destroyed the oil towers and spread immense wildfires that lasted weeks until it finally calmed down and returned to its underground chamber to hibernate. Majestic 12 was ordered to establish a base camp and study the creature beneath the surface. However, the slightest rumblings of construction could reawaken it and spread further chaos.
