Great diorama of The Giant Behemoth (1959), director Eugène Lourié's low-budget remake of his 1953 classic, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms.

This time the film is set in London instead of New York City. And while Beast was animated by the great Ray Harryhausen, Behemoth was animated by his mentor, the legendary Willis O'Brien - albeit with a much lower budget and shorter production period.

Im thinking about. Looming. The feeling of something big staring down at you. The way their body blocks out the light from above you, whether it be the sun or a ceiling light. The temperature around you dips and you begin to shiver, not only from cold, but from fear, too. You’re boxed in. Maybe their gigantic hands snake around to block your only exit, or they don’t even have to move at all, their body stretching taller than you could ever feasibly run away from. They’re so massive that you can barely comprehend them. And they’re standing over you, staring down in surprise, in shock, in confusion, in delight. It’s like being observed by the sky itself, by a mountain taking up your whole vision. God forbid they start speaking, rumbling about how small you are, how they’ve caught a little thief, how they’re not going to hurt you, how there’s no escape, now. Hm

He Explore City Pretty

Gtjuly2024, my take on the word Behemoth. As Kai looms over, as he explores the cityscape with interest. Not harming anyone though despite peoples panic. They think he just big bad rampaging monster.

Hey folks! It took WAY too long to get this out, but it's finally done. Well, technically it isn't done, but I'll get to that in a bit. One weird thing that needs explanation at a time.

So, as one can tell, I didn't just make statblocks for the behemoths, write some lore, and call it a day. I've discovered that I really don't like making statblocks and dealing with all the nonsense that comes with it (CR is a joke, and I'm not laughing). So, in typical Foundry fashion, I tried doing something weird that requires more work and ultimately still required me to make statblocks anyway. Yeah, I'm not smart. 

So I made them templates instead. And while I was tempted to give up and just do the obvious thing since I was just going to end up with stats anyway, making them templates makes a certain amount of sense from a lore perspective and I genuinely think is an interesting idea worth pursuing. Quick lore tidbit, behemoths are likely the result of normal creatures becoming mutated by aether (it's not certain, but there are signs of this origin from what I've read), so a template makes logical sense. So, as long as I pick appropriate creatures for the template examples, the end result will get you pretty close to the behemoths in game. Sure, they're not perfect, but it would be easy to tweak them to better suit your game.

So the other behemoth in the room is there are only 3 behemoths here. I had intended on releasing them all at once. Turns out there's like 30+ behemoths AND 5 basically legendary behemoths. So, I'm splitting them up into their elemental categories, and the legendaries by themselves. I already have the Blaze behemoths written out, so those won't take nearly as long. As I complete each category, I'll update this post and make y'all aware of the additions. By the end, I'll have one document with all of them in it, a brew to rival Flesh & Bone. 

But for now, a quick break to work on something else my ADHD has compelled me to rework. Stay tuned for that. Anyway, stay safe, don't forget to love each other, and I'll see you next time.

THE GIANT BEHEMOTH (1959)

This is basically a not-so-good British remake of The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (1953). Besides near identical storylines, the two films shared the same director: Eugène Lourié.

The stop motion effects team was headed by Willis O'Brien, of King Kong (1933) and Mighty Joe Young (1949) fame. Interestingly, O'Brien's assistant on Mighty Joe Young, Ray Harryhausen, had done the stop motion work on Beast, so Obie was following in his protegé's footsteps.

However, a big problem is that Obie and crew were given a minuscule budget and an almost impossibly short amount of time to work with. This is one of the reasons Behemoth is the inferior film. Still, even Obie's bad work was better than just about anyone else's good work.

Fun fact:

Wally in his human form would be 5 ft while Barnaby would be 7 ft!
