Kruuk
Played By: Wire_Colossus
Appearance: Kruuk is a cross-species of Human, bat, armadillo, and stingray. Each of his wings is mostly arm with fingers the same length as those of a human, only considerably thicker with 13 inch long spade like claws each as wide as 3 inches. He has an opposable spine each hand that serves as a support strut for his wing membrane. When not flying, this spine, which is really a modified finger, folds up against his forearm and so keeps the majority of his wing membrane safe from damage. His arms are easily twice as long as his humanoid legs. His feet though human, have hook like claws that help him hang upside down. His body is humanoid though his back is longer and his body over all considerably larger. His head is humanoid, covered in armored plates with free floating jaws. Like a shark his top jaw and lower jaw are attached to each other, but there are no hard structures connecting either to the skull, only muscles and nerves. He lacks a nose, instead have 2 thin slit like nostrils at the front of his skull. His Ears are large and bat like, able to swivel, but they too are armor plated. His teeth are those of a shark, but they’re set in sockets just like human teeth would be. However, just like shark teeth, when his teeth are cracked or otherwise damaged they simply fall out and are replaced. In total his jaws can move about an inch forward and open wide enough to swallow an orange whole. His skin is that of a shark as well, smooth if rubbed one way, rough as sandpaper if rubbed any other way. The majority of his body is covered in flexible armored plates and his body appears naturally flattened somewhat. One of the many inheritances from his Stingray Cross-species DNA. He has a 3ft tail with a 9 inch stingray barb half way down the length. He has no venom, but It would be ill advised to get stuck with that barb. It’s serrated and so very difficult and painful to pull out. His skin is a dull bluish gray in coloration with his armor being a brownish gray. His barb is the color of ivory, which strangely is exactly what it’s made of. Over all his body is lean in build.

Background Story:
Kruuk was created in an OSCORP funded lab as the 1,418th project in which scientists attempted to combine the DNA of multiple cross-species to create the perfect emergency worker. Kruuk was engineered to be a search and rescue aid. However, while he was a success, he was also a failure. He had enough intellect to be trained, but he developed at a slow and fairly human rate. He was also highly disobedient and no amount of shocks with a cattle prod could cure that. As a result he was too costly to keep alive. OSCORP was not prepared to fund his survival and risk being shut down on unethical operations involving genetic experimentation, so the project was ordered to be terminated. Kruuk was scheduled to be terminated and disposed of. He however wasn’t there when they decided to gas his cage. He had just discovered he could dig and found out how fun it could be. He managed to claw his way out of the containment unit and tunnel his way out of the building. However, It wasn’t that simple. On his way out of the building he witnessed other cross-species being experimented on and killed. He witnessed horrors that no one, especially a child, should never have to see. He made his way out of the building in a rather destructive manner. He tunneled through the floors. For the past six years he has lived in the city while avoiding capture, though animal control and OSCORP snipers have been searching for him continuously.
