Here is my entry for 's What Giant Monster Are You contest based on what I would be as a giant monster. Here are my results from the quiz, which resulted in the final designs:

Your Name/Username: Arlo
You are a: Reptilian Monstrosity
As a result of: Your extraterrestrial origins
Offensive Ability: Breath Weapon (Acid)
Secondary Ability: Chameleon-Like Invisibility
Achilles Heel: Extreme Heat
Resistance to heavy artillery: Above Average
Primary motivation? Defending your perceived territory
The first location you attack: Tokyo, Japan

The official name of this new original kaiju is Ar' Lo (since for the contest the monster has to be YOUR name, I altered my own into two names: first and last).

‘How did I get here? Why have I been abandoned?’ Ar’ Lo thought as he opened up his green eyes to the blackness of space. He drifts alone in the emptiness only comforted by the mere thoughts in his head.
‘Was I that too much of a threat to those I befriended?’ Ar’ Lo wondered as he stretches out from his fetal position revealing his entire body. He stares deeply into the cosmos, ‘ Perhaps I was not meant to protect….am I here for something more?’
As Ar' Lo prepares to enter stasis, a large shadow passes over him, his green eyes focus of a speeding object, which quickly heads out of sight. Interested in the object, Ar' Lo's back begins to glow a bright green and manages to propel himself to pursue the object. The reptilian-like alien manages to catch up with the object only to discover that the object was actually another alien being, but much bigger than he. Ar' Lo tries to lay low and not anticipate a confrontation, but too late. The other entity has spotted him.
Immediately the other beast unleashes rays of pure energy at Ar' Lo. Quickly the alien reptile dodges the blows and retaliates by latching onto the larger creature's back and spews a highly acidic gas from his mouth located at the center of its body, which burns through the larger beast's flesh. It screams in pain. Ar' Lo did not want this confrontation, but what choice did he have?
The larger alien grabs Ar' Lo and tosses him in front of him and fires one final ray of energy from the palms of his hands. It strikes the smaller alien and fatally injures him. The beast then rams Ar' Lo into the gravitational pull of a blue-green planet. As he falls into the atmosphere, the extreme heat from entering causes the metallic armor from his former home-world to disintegrate. Just before Ar' Lo is destroyed, he crashes into the ground with great destructive force. An explosion rises into the sky from the crash zone and Ar' Lo begins to drift out of consciences, but not before seeing the silhouettes of tiny yet intelligent looking beings. Seconds later he blacks out...but very much and luckily alive.
