AS DEATH DEFYING DEATH, BULABAO, COME ON!”

-Sharpglance talking into their long-range crystal communicator to summon Bulabao

Who is this fighter for the future?! More on them past the break!

The peoples of the Lost World where Korangu hails from got a rude awakening when they found out how thoroughly the robot-making imperialist nightmare that was the MECH Project had set up shop there, and how thoroughly its ecological consequences thrashed their beloved protector.

More horrifying to them was not just how much damage it had caused, the mass migrations of dinosaurs and blighted earth around where they were hiding was a good indicator, but how much damage it would have caused had they stayed long term as they had planned before being busted up by a combination of the heroism of investigative folks and MECH’s own incompetence.

So, one member of the peoples tried to do something unprescedented: Using an improvised device designed using their people’s crystal technology, they tried to contact the creature known as Bulabao.

This was unprescedented because; even in a jungle setting filled with dinosaurs and prehistoric throwbacks both kaiju and regular-sized, Bulabao held a unique terror for the inhabitants.

They were not considered malevolent, in fact they were considered almost peaceful and retiring; but the fear of them was the fear of the reaper, for in recorded memory, Bulabao has been associated with death; culturally engrained as a sort of psychopomp, seen in the visions of those dying and walking away from the bodies of kaiju and normal megafauna alike.

It is said that their eyes can paralyze even gargantuan creatures with fright, that its golden claws; horns and tail can pierce all defenses, that its breath scours flesh from bone, and other strange abilities that; even witnessing it now; few know the truth of their existence. But, the most ill-omened thing about the creature was said to be the “box” on its back; a thing that could suck in the spirits of the dead but also the living. To where, we do not know, as of yet.

So, naturally, the youth walked up to the creature, at a blighted place in the land; even now riddled with gargantuan dessicated corpses left unclaimed.

At the hecatomb, the youth spoke to them with them via an assemblage of crystals, of a type common in their culture but innovative in its current use. The youth spoke of the events of the world and those who had poisoned the earth around them, and the failures of the great protector of their people. The youth said there will be others who could have cruel designs upon the place, speaking of the advertising monsters and the invaders and the horrors of the CarciNation.

And, the next day, the youth stepped into the sun with their crystal translator and behind them; the psychopomp, willing and ready to follow them to the ends of the earth in defense of their home.

The youth’s nickname (And preferred name, because young people are like that) roughly translates to Sharpglance, for their keen eye and willingness to view the world outside of their jungle even before calling on the great beast, and even now they have a keen eye for when trouble’s about, wandering the world with their companion; steady and unerring as death itself.

As one final aside, curiously, Korangu and Bulabao do not like each other at all. They don’t actively fight unless forced near each other, but they do stay well away from each other. When asked what the reasons for this might be, Sharpglace replied “It’s complicated…”

SO, I basically came up with this because I wanted a version of the whole "minder with the remote control" archetype ala Gigantor or; arguably; the animated Zilla, and I figured that making them as a member of the Southeast-Asian lost-world-subspace nation (One of the entrances to which being in the Phillipines and another in Borneo) associated with Korangu made sense!

Thank heavens I have a Filipino-diaspora friend who helped me a lot to come up with the design, combining a carabao and the Philippine crocodile, the symbolism taken from the related-to-the-latter mythical buwaya leading to them having a psychopomp theme (Also why they have a stingray-like tail barb), and even a few details about their culture that I haven't have time to list yet, but are there!

Also, note that Sharpglance would be considered nonbinary in our culture, tho Filipino pronouns are... grammatically complicated to translate, so I use they/them for convenience.

On that note, as per usual with Kaijune, this powerful psychopomp is free to use as you see fit under a CC-BY 4.0 license so long as I; Thomas F. Johnson, am credited as their creator!

DAY 2 : NATIONAL ANIMAL OR BIRD

Although there is no law that states that the carabao or tamaraw is the national animal of the Philippines, the two animals is still highly respected among the nation for their significance in our agriculture.

The philippine eagle was named the national bird in 1995 (Proclamation No. 615, series of 1995)

Both of these animals are critically endangered

Sumbisig and Geothermica, a pair of eagles were loaned to Singapore in June 2019 ( they even gave the birds passports aw)

The tamaraw was featured on the old 1 piso coin that was in circulation during the 1980s til early 1990s
