I posted in the depository. You will just need to update the completion post :) Thank you. Next up - Tiamat!

Completion Post has been updated. The last tasks were pretty easy.

I hate to bug Donna. Should I reach out again do you think?

Always reach out to me if I miss your check-in. I happened to see your post pop up on my phone, BUT I didn't see your check-in. Let me get your tasks.

Tiamat

Tiamat is a giant serpentine creature that is light blue with purple scales. The scales are serrated and knife-like. They can cut deep gashes into the skin of other Titans. Her skull is draconic with yellow eyes and four barrels extending from it. Near her head are also two wing-like fins. She can use her jaws and tail as dangerous weapons in combat. Her serpentine body can strangle her opponents like constrictor snakes. Her roars sound more like "xhhhhsssss" but it is her toxic vapor that other Titans need to be wary of. She can spew it from her mouth and blind them momentarily. She is very territorial but recognizes when the odds are against her. She can survive on both land and in water, manipulating the water to drag her foes to her. Although able to survive on land, it is a severe disadvantage to her.

When King Ghidorah calls all the Titans, Tiamat broke free and began to hunt. She did not arrive in time for the battle or to see Godzilla become the new alpha. Tiamat tried to ambush Godzilla after his battle with Ghidorah by sucking him into a whirlpool. Outmatched, Tiamat tried to blind Godzilla and drag him into the water, slicing him with her scales. Godzilla was able to overpower her. Frightened, she submitted to save herself from being killed. She retreated back into the ocean.

This Titan is tricky. To catch her you will need to get prepared. You will need goggles, tranquilizers, and a cage.

Task - Spell out - Letter L
How it fits - Title

Every time I like at the first task I keep seeing Googles and not goggles. I have to keep reminding myself 3 G's.

Ha! I was thinking we needed to read the goggles book first. I'm glad I saw you posted the book.

If I remember correctly, the spell out can needs to be the title/series title or author first and last name. Let me know if I have that wrong.
