Editing Behemoth (section)

===Kill Aura===
Behemoth can bypass the [[Manton effect]] and manifest energy within anyone who ventures within a 32-foot radius of him, burning them from the inside out.<ref name="19.x" /><ref name="R1" /> He typically produces a 1400°C flame inside his targets; however, he can make this flame hotter if he focuses.<ref>'''How exactly does Behemoth kill someone in his 30 ft radius?'''<br><br>'''i_dont_like_my_name:''' Maybe it just never really stuck with me while I was reading, but looking back I’m still not quite sure how he exactly does it. I’ve always assumed that his kill field acts as like the world’s most powerful magnetron, and that him killing you is like microwaving a piece of meat. I’m not exactly sure where to look for this info so I’d figure I’d post my question here. Thanks!<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' He has the ability to generate and manipulate energy. This can manifest as fire, lightning, radiation, kinetic force, etc.<br><br>His fires can get hot, if he focuses them. If you're in his radius he'll be able to ignore the manton effect and he can produce a 1400C flame inside you (or less, or more, depending on the jobbing). - Wildbow on Reddit</ref><!-- https://redd.it/oqjnb0 -->

The recommended distance from Behemoth is at least 100 feet so that there is less risk of him closing the gap before one can escape. This ability makes anyone without extreme durability or ranged attacks nearly worthless in the fight; capes that cannot engage Behemoth will typically operate as search, rescue, and support.<ref name="23.5e1" />
<!--Because I've had to quote these four times in the last 24 hours, Behemoth defaults to heat for his kill aura, and radiation is something that he toggles on rather than something always present:

The creature, the Behemoth, stepped closer, raising one claw and pointed at Kaveh. Kaveh the Smith, the builder, the forger.

The man ignited from the inside out, flame and smoke pouring from every orifice as he was turned into a burned-out husk in a matter of seconds. His skeleton disintegrated into fine dust and ash as it crashed to the ground.

The landing as he arrived flattened another set of buildings. The heroes started to run. They were too slow, when compared to the length of Behemoth’s legs, the sheer power he was capable of putting into the simple act of walking. One by one, they fell within his kill range. Two were scorched from the inside, a brawny-looking cape seized up with smoke billowing from his corpse as he struck ground, his arms and limbs still twitching in death.

Behemoth, originally called Hadhayosh, is a forty-five foot tall horned brute with incredible strength and durability, regeneration and dynakinesis; the ability to manipulate energy in all its forms. Creates shockwaves, lightning, thunder and delivers massive impacts, and can ignore the Manton effect within a radius of about thirty feet, allowing him to roast capes from the inside-out.

Behemoth was glowing, his gray skin tending more towards white, a stark contrast to his obsidian horns and claws. The heroes were backing off a measure, and Behemoth was taking advantage of the situation to stampede forward, tearing past buildings and barricades.

“Grue!” I shouted. The noise in the distance was getting worse. If Behemoth was continuing the path I’d seen him traveling, he was wading through a series of buildings. Grue didn’t hear me. I raised my voice, waited until the noise died down, “Radiation! Use darkness!”

He did, and we were cloaked in it. I continued navigating, using my bugs this time. Only a small handful ventured forward at a time, checking for fires. I was flying blind, scouting without the ability to see.

He wasn’t irradiated any more. Or, at least, the glow wasn’t there. He’d been buying himself a reprieve from the assault of the heroes, a chance to cover more ground. Now they had resumed the counter-offensive. The noises of the fight followed me as I got ahead of the Undersiders.

[[Crushed 24.5]] said:
Behemoth rose from beneath the ground a distance away. In a heartbeat, things shifted from a near-quiet to chaos. He was still glowing, and his claws crackled with electricity as he struck quickly, violently, and indiscriminately.

Three capes taken down, struck out of the sky by the bolts of electricity. Even if they’d survived that much, the kill aura and the radiation would end them.-->
