Behemoth of Stone (石の巨獣 Ishi no kyojū) is the Quirk of Atlas Kyojin, and is part of a tetralogy of Quirks. The other three Quirks being the Behemoth of Sea, Behemoth of Agni and Behemoth of Aether.
Description[]
Behemoth of Stone is the result of a genetic combination between a Quirk that allows Atlas's mother to take a monstrous form and a Quirk that allowed his father to manipulate elements. Namely Earth for this specific Behemoth, therefor, this Quirk allows Atlas to surround himself in a large stone armor construct. In fact, the stone armor is actually another living being. Although it lacks sentience, once Atlas activates his Quirk, the Behemoth is capable of influencing Atlas's personality and actions while he is in use of the Quirk. Interestingly, the Behemoth causes Atlas to receive a highly combative and aggressive personality, thereby causing him to be more competitive in certain situations. The Behemoth of Stone comes with a stockpile of abilities, making it an extremely powerful and dangerous quirk to go up against in combat.
Most notably, the Behemoth of Stone gives Atlas incredible strength and durability while in use and it possesses incredible leg strength, hence allowing it to leap amazing distances. It possesses strength capable of lifting two trains and durability that makes it so most attacks barely even phase the Behemoth. And if any attacks due manage to cause a break in the Behemoth, it possesses quick regenerative abilities. This allows it to regenerate and subsequently tank continuous attack patterns. Behemoth of Stone also grants Atlas minor earth manipulation abilities. These abilities include stomps that cause rocks and earth terrain to rise as well as causing spiked and jagged rocks to rise. However, the earth manipulation doesn't go any farther than that.
Weaknesses[]
- Despite the Behemoth of Stone's durability and regenerative abilities, it can't recover from burst style attacks as easily as it can other attacks. With burst damage being the main way to handle the Behemoth in most situations.
- Despite not having a time limit to how long it can stay active, if Atlas stays off of pure earth for over an hour and a half, the Behemoth will retreat. Atlas presumes this is because the Behemoth feels out of place when it's off of earth for too long, retreating in fear. And the Behemoth of Stone will refuse to return until few hours has passed.
