Coelum Carnis (Latin for: Heaven of the Flesh), commonly referred to as The Monolith, is the 7th member of the Carnis family, and the 4th hostile species in the family. It is unknown whether the Monolith is a product of the Crawl or the Singularity. All seven documented monoliths were discovered in 1972, on an island in Hudson Bay, Canada.
Physical Characteristics[]
A Monolith is a large, 120 meter (394 foot) tall tower of tightly-woven meat fiber with two extremely thick limbs acting as legs, and several long appendages on its side. Its flesh is a red color similar to other members of the Carnis family. The strands of meat fiber converge at the neck to form a solid, improper triangular head with a circular hole through it. In place of arms, the Monolith has hundreds of thin, rope-like strands that scrape the ground, and its trunk-like legs and feet are rooted deeply into the ground creating an underground network that connects all of the Monoliths together, this makes it impossible to unroot a Monolith using current technology. The Monolith is capable of letting loose a roar from its orifice. However, this was only ever heard during the mysterious event when they became active. Potentially the hole in its triangle head could serve as the source of its emp.
Behaviors[]
All seven of the Monoliths are found on the island in an idle position, arranged around a circle that's 1.5 km (0.9 miles) in diameter. The ring of Monoliths surrounds The Singularity. Each monolith is around 0.67km (0.4 miles) apart from each other on the circumference of the circle. All Monoliths are completely silent and completely still, which makes them comparable to plants and trees. The only time they have been found active was in an unknown incident.
Attack Behaviors[]
The Monolith has only ever been active once, and during this period it was very aggressive. It demonstrated several attacks.
- The Monolith can use its appendages to swipe and whip opponents.
- It can let out an EMP blast from its 'mouth' to completely derail vehicles in the vicinity.
- It has incredible regenerative abilities, as seen when a rocket was shot at its leg. It regrew the lost flesh within seconds.
Life Cycle[]
Not much is known about the life cycle of a Monolith because the Crawl hasn't produced a Monolith node to date. The Monoliths have not been observed to reproduce in any way.
Relations to Humanity[]
The Monolith serves no benefit to humanity, instead posing an enormous liability to the entire planet.
Trivia[]
- The island that the Monoliths supposedly reside on does not exist in real life. It may have been artificially created by the singularity in the Vita Carnis universe, or is just a made up island. The island has since then been made an exclusion zone.
- There was an incident in ██████████ when the Monoliths did become active and proceeded to walk toward civilization where they may have caused havoc. It was only after rockets were fired at them did the Monoliths return to the island where they have been stationary to this day.
- In real life, there is a gravitational inconsistency in the middle of Hudson bay, near where the Singularity and the monoliths are residing. This may be caused by the Singularity in-universe.
- The monoliths were inspired by redwood trees because of their large size.
