Tarou Clamp Fushide

"Sometimes I hate being this huge..."

- Clamp

Tatou, or Clamp, is the largest Venipede that ever existed. No harmful radiation or un-even growth ever occured to Clamp, he grew in this form from birth. He is the last of his kind; a Venipede warrior. Originally he was chosen to enslave an entire country of Pokemon, but a harmful event shifted his life. Being the largest, Surusa and Dewott often use Clamp as transportation. Knowing the move Dig, Clamp is able to move with mobility, while carrying his step-siblings on his back. It should be noted that Clamp is a herbavore, his favorite foods being lettuce and celery.

Personality
Being an ex-warrior and having a deep hatred in his parents, Clamp is a caring type of Pokemon (in his tribe he's described as the "odd one out"). This gentle giant normally doesn't like bringing harm into others, and is normally found protecting his step-sister, Surusa. The bonds they developed ever since young childhood has allowed responsibility to grow into Clamp's genes. He never tells his sister to do something for him just because he needs something.

Combat Abilities
Clamp only combats when needed too. When he does combat, he litterally throws himself on to his foes, acting as a bone-crusher. His overgrown muscles and body mass allows him to jump into extrodinary heights and heft very heavy objects. Clamp's body serves more as a defensive system; having armor that exceeds a Military Tank's thickness is already enough.

Clamp also knows a variety of Poison-powered moves. Being taught at such an early age, his Poison Tail actually excretes more poison than usual. He is also known to spew acid from his mouth, or swipe opponents with his poisonous claws.

Origin
Clamp comes from a bloodline of a bloodthristy tribe known as the Pincers. At his birth, his parents knew that his growth speed will help serve well in their plans of conquering the world. However, Clamp's behaviour was different from the others. Instead of attacking prey, he helps them or watches them. Also, instead of destroying property, Clamp has a habit of cleaning it up. This sense of behaviour has marked him as the "Youngling" of the tribe. His parents never approved any good actions, so they planned to eat him later on. The Pincers were cannibals.

Unaware of his parent's plans, Clamp awokened in the middle of the night, and looked up to the stars. There he thought he could find a new home, and so he snuck away from the camp. The next day the Pincers were all killed by Poachers.

On his travels, Clamp came across a weak, hungry Minnicino. Her name is Surusa, and despite her appearance, she was very cheerful. Clamp helped Surusa find some food and a shelter, and from there they developed a brethern relationship.

Life has it's ups and downs, during their stay inside a cave, several Arbok pushed Clamp to the limits. After minutes of torturing (he refused to fight), and watching his step sister suffer alot of pain, Clamp killed all the Arbok in one Body Slam. This earth shattering move caused their home to rumble, Clamp was forced to leave with Surusa.

Barely escaping their deaths, they continued to wander for a new home. From there they met Ken'ichi, who also searching for a new home. Edgy at first, Clamp accepted him into their group. From there on, Team Forever was created.
