30 Day Daikaiju Challenge Day 5: Botanical Kaiju
A giant carnivorous plant that is found all over South Africa, Babasa towers over the jungle at an astounding height of 120-167 meters. despite it’s carnivorous nature, Babasa does not eat humans, rather it forms a symbiotic relationship with them. Babasa’s diet consists of the various kaiju that have overrun Africa. Many of these kaiju have a taste for human flesh. Natives will build their villages on the massive trunk of a Babasa, which eat these kaiju. Drawn to the humans, many dim-witted kaiju will get caught by the long arms of the Babasa before that kaiju can even reach the humans.
The Babasa will vigorously protect the human village on its trunk as much as it can. If it encounters a kaiju that is far to large or strong for it to eat, it will uproot itself scurry away at a surprising speed, vomiting highly acidic digestive fluids and chunks of partially digested kaiju at its foe.
Babasa may have been named after the real life BABASA (Bed And Breakfast Association of South Africa). Given the symbiotic nature of the kaiju, it is oddly fitting.
