The appearance of the monster caught everyone by surprise. It was different from all the mutants they had ever seen.
For instance, the monster was giant, towering over any second-generation mutant. The purple skin with rippling muscles spread fear into those who saw its imposing figure.

"What's that?" Karthi inquired in a hushed tone.
"Could it be an entirely new breed of mutant? Something previously unknown to us?" His voice quavered as he attempted to rationalize the presence of this grotesque entity before them.
"I thought mutants lacked cognitive abilities. Then, Why is it shielding that man?"
