Yozore is a colossal giant squid kaiju and former guardian of Atlantis. It is protective of the Atlantic Ocean it inhabits. Civil unrest had grown significantly during the course of the Peloponnesian War, with the destruction and death growing worse between Athens and Sparta. A growing number of people had grown disillusioned with the war and wished to break away from the warring city-states. However, such a task was seen as impossible until a group of skilled artisans, engineers, and scientists came together. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, extraterrestrials had visited Earth long before. A Greek archaeological expedition stumbled upon a crashed vessel, leading to the discovery of its technology. Though damaged and not fully replaceable, what remained had been repurposed for their own uses. The drive to break away from old cultures combined with new technology and tools culminated in the creation of a new kingdom: Atlantis. They had grown more arrogant and violent as time went on, outliving their contemporaries and witnessing the world change. Modern society polluted their oceans immensely as well as over-harvested their fish. Yet their own hubris had blinded them, as they were guilty of polluting the ocean and driving many undersea species to extinction. The kaiju had also grown much more resistant to their sonar control. When the time came to declare war on the surface world with Yozore as the tip of their spear, the kaiju ultimately betrayed the Atlanteans and destroyed their city. The population drowned, and the city was dragged to the bottom of the ocean. Yozore was free to wage its own war upon the surface.
