Powers:
Animus has immense physical strength,
augmented by sunlight itself. It is unknown how strong the beast
could potentially become if allowed to bathe in the natural sunlight
of its native homeworld planet. Animus is capable of projecting
both a purple and green mouth beam, as well as a green and red
eyebeam. Whether or not these rays vary in strength or intensity
based on color is unknown.
Origin:
Locked away by the Nebulans for his
cannibalistic nature, Animus was made a prisoner within the caverns
of the Gigan Homeworld. He was closed off and depraved of his
only known source of power, the planet's sunlight. What the Nebulans
had planned to do with Animus is unknown, presumably they intended
to use him as a weapon of some kind. However, his incredible power
and taste for the other members of his own species most likely
resulted in his imprisonment in his homeworld. If he were to somehow
free himself and absorb enough natural light, it is presumed the
entire planet's population would be at serious risk.

Notes from the
Creator |
I think Animus is an
interesting character, but for me, he's just kind of there. We
needed a story for Theromin and Gogar, and he's what I came up
with. I would liked to have explored some of his other abilities,
like his getting larger when exposed the sunlight or his cannibalistic
tendencies, but we offed him, so that's the end of it. so, while
not a character I'd do backflips over, Animus is certainly NOT
someone I'd want to meet up with in a dark alley...
