[Jiran Island, off the coast of the Japanese origin island]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The natives gather along the beaches, awaiting a special event that occurs each cycle during the end of the rainy season. As though by magic, the waves begin climbing the shores higher and higher. A great thundering roar echoes across the shores. The great king of the sea surfaces, moving its enormous body through the water at incredible speeds, causing the tides to reach ever higher, washing up many pounds of sea life both small and large onto the beaches. The natives cheer, for their god has given them a bountiful banquet that will sustain them for many suns to come.
However, not all is well. The god of the seas begins thrashing about, getting aggravated, the natives unaware of what has caused their deity such distress. Storm clouds move in, and the whole area becomes drenched in rain as thunder booms louder than any storm before it, and lightning strikes as though it were dancing upon the Earth below. The natives scatter, scrambling back to their shelters.
The great sea king rises from his element, standing high above the land, looking up towards the sky with a determined look. As though he were challenging the storm, the god of the oceans lets loose a tremendous roar that shakes the very ground from which he stands. As he does, a dark shape moves through the clouds, and lets loose a shriek that deafens the ears of many, as though accepting the duel that the god of the oceans has offered.

[Vancouver, Canadian origin continent]
[Vancouver Museum of Marine History]
[School field trip]
(Museum Guide): And now, kids, if you look to your left, you'll see a stone wall tablet that washed up on our own shores.
(Kid 1): Where'd it come from?
(Museum Guide): That's a good question! This stone tablet comes from one of the many islands from the region of the Jiran Island cluster, off the coast of the Japanese origin island in the Pacific.
(Kid 2): What are those things on it?
(Museum Guide): Those there are drawings of some of the gods that the natives worshiped many millennia ago. Scientists believe that these gods were inspired by real-life animals. Can any of you guess which ones? I'll give you kids a hint: they were the biggest animals ever discovered.
(Kid 2): The dinosaurs!
(Kid 3): No, whales!
(Kid 1): What about those... umm....... giant monsters that recently showed up?
(Museum Guide): Very good! These creatures are the biggest known lifeforms in the history of planet Earth. Does anyone know the special name we use for these large animals?
(Kid 4): Weren't they called 'Kaiju'?
(Kid 2): No, those things are from the movies!
(Kid 3): I think the term is 'M.U.T.O.s'--
(Museum Curator): No. Those are all incorrect.
(Museum Guide): Oh, sir, what are you doing here?
(Museum Curator): I'm touring my own museum. By the way, the answer, children, is 'P.E.M.F.'.
(Museum Guide): Well, you heard the owner of this place, guys. Does anyone know what that stan--
(Museum Curator): 'Post-Evolutionary Mega-Fauna'.
(Kid 2): Why are they called that?
(Museum Curator): They're called that because, unlike Humans, the dinosaurs, or any animal you'd normally think of, the P.E.M.F.s are too vastly different to be categorized under normal evolutionary classifications.
(Kids): Ummmm.........
(Museum Curator): Well, carry on then, children.
[Museum curator walks away, leaving the school children confused by his choice of wording]
(Museum Guide): Well, uhh..... kids, why don't you tell me what these drawings look like to you?
(Kid 1): That one looks like a T-rex, with..... the arms of, umm.... what do you call those dinosaurs that were named after a pet lizard?
(Museum Guide): You mean 'Iguanadon'?
(Kid 1): Yeah, that. It has a T-rex's body, an Iguanadon's arms, and a Stegosaurus's back things.
(Kid 2): That one just looks like a big butterfly.
(Museum Guide): And that last one?
(Kid 4): Looks like a dragon..... with three heads. It's kinda scary looking......
