NeoBioKaijune 2023 - Day 20: Flat
You know, looking up tapeworm mouths up-close makes me think about how many weird mouths I've been sleeping on.
Here's a link to the prompt list if you want to follow along. [illust/108305583]

Bio:
Appearing out of a fracking fault in the southern US, Rhathir emerged, covered in oil before rapidly eating everything it could get its tongue and mouth on. Able to climb up seemingly any surface, Rhathir's thin body and ease of movement made it incredibly difficult to neutralize the kaiju, the KDF throwing almost all of their arsenal at it while trying to minimize collateral damage. Despite its ribbon-like form, their limbs allowed them to adhere to skyscrapers and not get blown away; furthermore, once the kaiju was eventually cut in half, it continued rampaging, requiring it to be essentially decimated before it stopped moving.
The US government, alongside a request by Eco-K and various other environmental organizations, decided to ban the act of fracking, in case any other Rhathir ever makes it to the surface again. Some have suggested digging a larger borehole into the earth to investigate, but fears that multiple Rhathir would emerge at once vetoed the idea.
