To'kustar

This article belongs to the Classic Continuity

To'kustars are a species who are created during unpredictable cosmic storms.^{[pop-up 1][1]}

Appearance

To'kustars are gigantic humanoid creatures with four-fingered hands and extremely muscular bodies that generally have a white base color for their body, face, limbs, and hands with details such as their torso and legs stripes, shoulder spots, stum-like feet, head and shoulder blades, in a primary or secondary color. Some of them have pieces of metal colored armor.^{[DJW 1]}

The only exceptions to this are Evil Way Big and the Way Bads, who all have a grey base color.

Behavior

To'kustars are nonviolent beings, and so are commonly known as "gentle giants".

To'kustars live alone at the edge of the galaxy, silently guarding against threats from beyond.^{[DJW 2]}

Powers and Abilities

To'kustars have thick skin, which is resistant to most attacks, whether they be physical or energy, and possess extraordinary strength, even in proportion to their size. Their strength allows them to defeat a normal-sized army and lift objects and creatures around their own size with little effort, and even throw them into space.

To'kustars can blast strong cosmic rays powerful enough to obliterate spaceships and planets.^[2] In Ultimate Alien, this move was executed by positioning their arms into an L shape. In Omniverse, this is changed into an X shaped arm position.

To'kustars can create and control cosmic storms, which can also be used for inhabitation and transportation.

A single To'kustar can destroy a small planet.^{[JK 1]} Larger planets would require a squad of To'kustars.^{[DR 1]}

Weaknesses

If a To'kustar's head fin is damaged, it causes paralyzing pain throughout their body.^[3]

Despite their immense durability, To'kustars are still vulnerable to foes with sufficient strength.

A Kineceleran can create a tornado powerful enough to lift a To'kustar.^[4]

A To'kustar can be lifted and thrown by an Evolved Vaxasaurian^[5], or a normal Vaxasaurian, even when they are at their base size.^{[ES 1]}

Small beings that are as small as a Nanochip can go inside To'kustars head and attack them.^[6]

When fighting, To'kustars can easily destroy buildings around them, sometimes causing tremendous amounts of harm.

They are vulnerable to their predator, an unnamed virus.^{[DJW 3]}

They can be controlled by Vladats via their Corrupturas.^{[DJW 4]}
