Watchtower

"Watchtower - Protector cryptid, mascot of a particular small town that chooses to remain undisclosed"

- Trevor Henderson, introducing the creature

Watchtower is a gigantic creature made by artist Trevor Henderson. Her peaceful nature and protective personality makes a stark contrast between her and the many disturbing creatures in Trevor’s catalogue.

Appearance
The Watchtower depicts a massive quadrupedal entity watching over a small town.

Her entire body she covered in many thick, gray hairs or possibly fur and four long legs that bend at the knees (or possibly ankles; like other similar animals), with the hind legs bending backwards and forelegs bending forwards. The legs end in what seems to be hooves.

Her head is oval-shaped and has four pointy antlers protruding from the top of it, two front ones at the sides of it’s head and two more going down from it’s head and neck. Underneath the creature’s hairs on her face are two human-like eyes peering in different directions. Where the creature’s mouth is located is unknown due to most of her body being covered in hairs, but Trevor has implied that it may be above her eyes.

Her torso has a relatively similar structure to The Wandering Doom, being thin and bony. They also have similarly large pelvic bones. There also appears to be a small tail at her rear. On her underside are two short tendrils of differing lengths

Unlike most other gigantic creatures, there is nothing next to her that we can directly compare her to, however we can see that she is about the same height as the mountain she is standing on. On her up-close image, can can also see that even her eyes dwarf the size the of birds flying around her, so she has to be at least a few hundred meters tall.

Behavior and Origins
Not much is known about this peculiar creature other than the caption provided. From the caption, we can see that she is the mascot and so-called “protector” of an anonymous small town. This could imply that she is a benevolent being that directly protects the town, or simply that the creature just so happens to take out any threats in the town for food or territory. We consider the former scenario to be more likely, as we see many birds flocking around her, possibly even making nests on her thick fur without her being bothered by it.

Universe Theory
The most likely theory at the moment is that Watchtower is not a member of The Giants, instead being her own separate creature in a different universe, the same one which most other creatures reside. This is backed up by Trevor’s Canon Creatures List, in which Watchtower and The Giants are listed separately. This also leads more credence to the theory that The Giants and other creatures like Siren Head are actually in completely separate universes.

Since this could very well be the case, a possible origins for her is that she is some form of extremely mutated mammal of some sorts, perhaps a deer. This is evident by the fur covering her body and her multiple horns, which appear to be more like antlers. She could also be some sort of deity figure for the town, as she watches over them on a mountain, akin to a typical depiction of a peaceful deity.

Giants Theory (Unlikely)
Another, less likely theory says that given her enormous size and nature of appearing during darker times of the day, she may actually be a member of The Giants. If this is the case, then she would have arrived on Earth via the summoning of a second Moon. She also would have been one of the first Giants to arrive due to the humans’ unfamiliarity to their nature, and therefore arrived on Earth before the collection period, where most Giants became aggressive and started collecting or destroying humans based on their sinfulness. This is also evident by her friendly nature to the humans at the time.

This is further backed up by the many tendrils On her underside similarly to other Giants like it The Wandering Faith and The Bird Watcher, which would be used to collect certain worthy humans to send them to salvation. Speaking of The Bird Watcher, she may also be a similar type of Giant to it, as they both have their fair share of similarities; namely:


 * Friendly nature
 * Massive size
 * Watches over humans
 * Mysteriously attracts birds
 * Possesses shorter tendrils than other collecting Giants
 * Possesses eyes, unlike most other Giants
