He was found in an abandoned catacombs of Paris, France. And when they raised him as a kid he had this weird splotch on his cheek. As he grew older he went to more and more different schools and pretty much went to more and more types of bullies. Overtime he got his feelings hurt or anything like that the splotch grew bigger. And one day it res so big that it started expanding and expanding and soon it covered his entire face. And soon it covered his entire body. And soon it grew into a size bigger than 5 of his schools which was about 100 feet high. When the huge blob came there sharp objects starting coming out and parts of clay started forming mouths and black orbs began forming eyes. One head had a red tongue. That was the only head there was was immortal. After that happened tentacles started coming out of it and plunged into the earth pulling the blob around. Some tentacle were out and about and one of them was burnt and had a very very sharp scythe like tip on it. After it was raging on and pretty much every single bully in that entire neighborhood was killed the teeth went back into the clay the eyes went back in and the tentacles slithered back into their places and everything shrunk back down into the splotch on his cheek.
