Fossils are a rare subspecies of skeleton born under very specific conditions. They are born from bones ancient beasts that had died before the ages of man and gods. These bones had been buried and sealed in stone for untold years. over the millenia, the material of the bone itself has been leached away and stone around has seaped into the bone, maintaining the shape of the bone but changing it into rock. Very rarely, these fossilized bones will be exposed to large amounts of Demonic Energy causing them to be resurrected as mamono. Despite this however, Fossils will remain locked in stone, unable to move, thus even after being monsterized they will remain in a death like sleep, waiting for something to wake them up.
Fossils have a similar appearance to their parent species, the Skeletons, however very distinct features that are unique them. Unlike Skeletons, Fossils come from the remains of long extinct beasts not from human bones so not only do Fossils have bestial features such as claws or tails, but they also come in a wide variety of forms, depending on the creature they once were. Also, unlike Skeletons, Fossils do not fill the areas between their bones with Demonic Energy, instead, they form their bodies from not only the fossilized bone, but also the stone around them. This causes them to be much stronger and much more durable than a normal Skeleton, but it also takes much longer for them to pull themselves back together if they are brocken apart.
Fossils will remain dormant underground indefinitely if left undisturbed, however, any activity that involves digging bears could awaken one. Miners, Construction Workers and many similar proffesions bear the risk of accidentally waking a Fossil from her slumber. There are even those who intentionally go prospecting for them. Just as the calcium in their bone has been leached from their bones, so to has all remnants of their past of their past life. When a Fossil awakens she is without any memories, personality, or sense of self, all that drives the instincts of a mamono. The instincts that tell them "You want to rape a man" or "You must feed on Spirit Energy." Thus the first thing a newly awakened Fossil will do is seek out and rape the nearest human man available. When a Fossil finds a man shee can prove to relentless in their single-minded goal of raping him and due to their strength, durability, and abilty to reassemble themselves, defeating on in combat is difficult, and will only provide a temporary reprieve. Fortunately a newly awakened Fossil isn't very picky in who they rape switching her attention to another man.
While the memories and personality from her previous life will never return, a Fossil will begin to develop a sense of self as she takes in more Spirit Energy. Her instinct to rape men and absorb Spirit Energy will start to give way to more complex thoughts. She will begin to think things like, "I want to feel more pleasure." or "I want to find love." As time goes on, the Fossil will take in more Spirit Energy and gains new memories, she will start to develop a new personality. This personality is dependent on her surroundings, not her physical form, thus a Fossil born from the bones of a fierce predator could become gentle and timid just as easily as she could become a ferocious and violent, or a Fossil born from a gentle herbivore could also become a vicious fighter. However, while a Fossil can develop a new personality, if she goes without Spirit Energy for too long she will begin to revert and return to their mindless stupor, at least until they have gotten more Spirit Energy.
After having been satiated for the first time, a Fossil will become quite lethargic, having to slow down in order to process the new sensations. During this period it is very easy for a man to make his escape. Whether a man does this or not is often a major deciding factor in the life of a Fossil. Fossils who are abandoned are often more savage in their behavior and suffer from a low intelligence due to having limited access to Spirit Energy. They will go on to hunt and rape men, power as they do. They will continue to do this until either a man chooses to stay with them or until they are powerful enough to completely dominate a man and claim him as her own. Each man who abandons them causes them to grow more savage and desperate in their attempts and eventually the constant abandonment will lead them into a depressed and melancholy existence. When they are finally strong enough to force a man to stay with her, she will be extremely jealous and paranoid, constantly keeping an eye on him to make sure that he can't escape from her and viciously chasing off any woman who they think may tempt their man away from them. However should a man accept her and stay with her after by his own choice, a Fossil who had been abandoned so many times will become extremely loyal and devoted to that man. She will be constantly seeking to better serve him, always trying to improve herself and willing to do and put up with anything, all out of a desperate need for him to not abandon her like all the others.
A Fossil who is not abandoned by the first person they rape will often become emotionally attached to that man. These Fossils will often have more complex personalities and will almost always have greater intelligence than their feral counterparts. The exact personality they develop will vary wildly as it will be a personality that most appeals to their man and is best capable of loving him.
[Alright, we have the first of spooktacular Halloween mamono, the Fossil. I'm sure you'll approve of these girls going bump in your night. I would like to make it clear though, these are not the reanimated bones of dino mamono. They specifically come from the fossilized remains of prehistoric animals that have been monsterized. Information on the Reptile Kingdom and links to the other Reptile Kingdom mamono can be found here: (http://monstergirlencyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:The_Reptile_King/The_Reptile_Kingdom) You can also make suggestions there if you want, just follow the rules on that.
As per my norm, feedback and criticism is welcome and encouraged, so long as your criticisim is more than mindlessly insulting me, I want something useful out of it. So tell me what you think of her]
