Churra, the giant rodent daikaiju (giant monster), battles Katmotron, the giant cat robot, in a decisive battle for the fate of the city!

This is a commissioned piece for one of Furcadia's versus contests, "Giant Monsters Vs. Giant Robots".

Katmotron's design was influenced by Mobile Suit Gundam and its successors. Churra's design (properly Chuura – which sort of translates as "Squeak-zilla") includes the head of a mouse, the quills of a porcupine, the feet of a rat (that's her index finger gripping the car; her thumb is a nub a little higher up on the paw), and the nose plates of an armadillo (which is not a rodent). Churra's teeth and wolverine body form were inspired by the janiset, a type of predator rat from Dougal Dixon's book After Man: A Zoology of the Future.

Obviously, they're playing a cat-and-mouse game.
