Amatsu

Summary

Also known as the "Storm Dragon", Amatsu is an Elder Dragon with a unique body structure, similar to that of sea life, but floats in midair. Its body is covered with fin-like protrusions, and has a small head in relation to the rest of its body. Its body mass is assumed to be quite light, as it is able to literally swim through the storm that is always surrounding it. It resides on the Sacred Mountain, a mountain located in the Yukumo region near the Misty Peaks. It is said to be the personification of the storm and its power is comparable to a natural disaster. As a result, its appearance has become a Yakumo Village tradition.

In-Game Description: A legendary elder dragon spotted on Sacred Pinnacle. An avatar of storms in the folklore of Yukumo Village, Amatsu's appearance is accompanied by furious cyclones and horrific storms. Its fearsome power is said to outscale that of natural disasters.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Hurricane: Amatsu is constantly generating a massive storm in its immediate vicinity that it "swims" through, granting it the ability to fly and buffet foes with gale force winds.
• Mega Tornado: After a significant amount of charging time, Amatsu is able to generate a localized tornado that tears apart everything around it with powerful winds. In addition, it is able to ride these winds to boost its speed and ram into foes.
• Wind Tunnel: Amatsu controls the winds around itself to form a tunnel of wind across the battlefield that sucks in a target and then buffets them with hurricane force wind. The target is then sucked into the air if the target doesn't escape in the tunnel of wind Amatsu will ram the target back to the ground.
• Double Wind Tunnel: Amatsu forms two Wind Tunnels next to each other to double the area of said attack.
• Wind Wall: Amatsu forms a wall of rotating wind around itself as a way to defend itself.
• Radial Multi-nado: Amatsu spins at high speed to create five smaller tornadoes that move away from Amatsu in five opposite directions. This move is used twice in a row when Amatsu is enraged.
• Rising Multi-nado: Amatsu uses the wind to throw a target upwards, Amatsu then creates six smaller tornadoes that radiate out from Amatsu in a counterclockwise direction.
• Water Beam: Amatsu releases a beam of highly pressurized water from its mouth.
• Water Bomb: Instead of firing a beam of highly pressurized water, Amatsu instead forms a ball of water in front of its mouth that is fired at a slower but still decent rate than its normal beam of highly pressurized water. This ball of water explodes on contact with anything it touches.
• Water Blast: Instead of firing a beam of highly pressurized water, Amatsu instead shoots the highly pressurized water out of its mouth as a blast of water in a manner akin to a shotgun.
• Lightning Tail Uppercut: Amatsu coats its tail in electricity and then raises the tail behind itself and performs a backflip, the electrified tail then knocks the target upwards. While hitting the target the tail brushes the ground creating three trails of electrified ground in a claw pattern in front of Amatsu, this electrified ground is then struck by lightning.
• Lightning Wheel: Amatsu creates two electrified wheels of wind and water on the tip of its tail and then releases each in a staggered fashion. The wheels move in an arc along the ground, one to the left and one to the right.
• Lightning Storm: Amatsu summons multiple bolts of lightning around itself at once.
• Homing Lightning Storm: Amatsu summons multiple bolts of lightning that track and home in on a chosen target.
• Lightning Nova: Amatsu flies straight upwards, high into the air and the sky takes on an ominous purple hue. For a brief moment in the air Amatsu generates a massive amount of electricity around itself drawn from its core and then summons lightning from the surrounding storm on top of that to bolster this process. After a brief moment, Amatsu flies down close to the ground before charging the ground with the gathered electricity and lightning before flying back up into the air at an angle and stopping at a slightly lower height than it was at before. Amatsu then draws even more electricity from its core cloaking itself with electricity and lightning before slamming back into the ground at an angle. Amatsu then slides across the ground drawing out all the charged electricity from the ground and then using it plus the extra electricity and lightning gathered in its second climb into the sky Amatsu electrifies an area of several hundred meters around itself for several seconds.
