[i]"Matango sees many things, but not what our future shall hold. Will one of you die, or will you both survive?"

[b]MATANGO, SON OF MATANGO, ACOLYTE OF MATANGO[/b]

From a far-off isle south of the great sea, Matango lived a sheltered life in the embrace of Matango. Charged by Matango, he ventures to Tokyo to learn of great things in the city. But like many other creatures in Kaijurocho, Matango is soon bound to the fate, of a much more powerful being.[/i]

So, another kaiju upload of a much more obscure creature from Toho Studios' filmography. Whilst the original Matango was much darker in its plot, I wanted to make him a very unusual person, a stranger out of time like one of those Dark Souls NPCs.

Naturally, understood exactly what I was going for, and even added this adorable notion that each "spore" has its own hat. I really enjoyed writing Matango, as this strange "very clearly knows he's an NPC" character.
