The Makara (Potamotapirosaurus indicus; Sanskrit: मकर) is one of the guardian, mythical creatures and major antihero-deuteragonists that was introduced in Worldcraft: Indian Reviews.
Derived from word this species by Sanskrit word means for this vahana. The Hindustani word is "मगर" (magar) meaning crocodile or mugger. Makara is the Sinhala term for dragon.
Makara is a member of gharial family that is mistaken for the combination of tapir and a crocodile, their scutes and color schemes are grayish olive green color. The belly color of Makara was yellowish because of similar to real mugger crocodile. Their trunk is to pure prehensility. Their eye colors are blond color. Usually we get the fish tailed thanks to the evolutionary process that is use it later.
2024 Changes
The Makara is now changed itself in their appearance as extinct species of terrestrial crocodilian, as well as few changes of their coloration.
Makara was capable to spray jet of water like Irrawaddy dolphin or archerfish. However, their tail was use as a weapon to unleash the waves either mud or clear water, and it hitted you to cause muddy. Makara was very silly to quickly the behind an enemies, if squirts a water by their trunk.
In the ocean, sea, or large river, unlike gharial and other large crocodiles, Makara uses their own tail to create a golden spiral, also known as a Fibonacci spiral, when they use their bubble-net feeding technique. This technique involves diving deep and releasing bubbles in a spiral pattern to stun and trap enemies.
Unlike all crocodilians, the Makara is unique among others and they have a "sixth sense" called electroreception, it doesn't found in true crocodiles, allowing them to detect prey in murky waters by sensing the subtle electric fields generated by their prey's muscle contractions, using specialized nerve endings in their trunk and nose called electroreceptors, much like platypuses. This is why the Makara can find objects that is lost in underwater such as accessories, gadgets, or defuse bombs, as Ganga or Varuna recommend the Makara as a large pet.
Squirting Trunk: Makara squirts their trunk and nose to spit water, causing splashes.
Death Roll and Drown: Makara drags enemies to the rivers and near the shore to make them inescapable and never escapes the bite. She stuns 3 seconds after ejecting from the death roll.
Life is the Shore: Makara forces its body faster than others to swim, and biting into the river makes it drown.
Riding a Waves of River (Sinhalese: රළ පදින්න "raḷa padinna"): For five seconds, Makara is able to see all of its opponents. During this period, Makara can sprint toward an adversary [of choice] if it uses this talent again while the water is on its body. The enemy will be stunned and deathrolled by the crocodile's blow. This talent will blink in the selected direction when it cancels the dash once more.
River Vahana-Makara increases defense and attack damage while in the river and other water formations.
New locomotion of Makara was a motion more closely associated with horses or wolves, but researchers have found that Makara can gallop than previously thought in near water or urban areas. Like their relatives, gharials, Makara blows bubbles as part of their mating ritual. The bubbles are blown from the trunk.
Unlike most crocodiles and gharials, Makara's trunk is either short or long, is a highly flexible structure, able to move in all directions, allowing the animals to grab foliage or prey that would otherwise be out of reach, and it can bleeding with sharp scutes. Like gharials, Makara are fish eaters, and they use their jaws to sweep sideways to catch fish, but it also hunted on land to catch live animals.
Makara is the top predator in the states of India, the province of Chiosathra and others, and other Hordan republics. Can survive the 75°C and -20°F temperatures, so Makara is weakened by cold areas. Makara was alone to find their mate, and an ambush predator was between land and water.
Makaras are often regarded as much more aggressive than muggers and gharials. Intentionally, the makaras are frightened by noises and make them immobilize. Makarakundala (Makara's ear drop) and Makaradhvaja (one whose flag depicts a makara) are people or deities who have society with Makaras, which is quite wrong because Makaras can't feel these kinds of emotions and socialize with people of different races. To make a decision for themselves, learn to love or be friendly to their owners. Makaras didn't hurt the people who have it; it is equivalent to the zodiac sign Capricorn.
Makara are large and they are shy and will typically hide from people if it is not in breeding season. They are more likely to attack if someone tries to catch them. This species is very unfair to the settlement of Vodyanoi or Nagas due to being aggressive during breeding season.
Don't be fooled this species, this is the apex predator in Hindu mythology and in real life, unless Makara are known to attack people, livestock, and other creatures that are during breeding season or the food is scarce. The Makara is much more timid and shies away from human contact – there are no accounts of these creatures ever killing a humans since in Iron age to present day.
The Isu name Ganga in Hindu, she wants to always pacified Makara's aggression and all of its kind ceased their vengeance. As a result without Ganga, Karikaalan Pradep, Nilan's real father, never attacked by Makara due to fear that know about Diana Spencer die.

Makara was tranquilized by bullets, made unconscious, fed meat or eggs while unconscious, and used narcotics to continuously overdose. Since the survivor is always within 12 radii of the egg, Makaras are automatically domesticated when they hatch from an egg. If you buy the Ganga's Necklace to respond and be hypnotized by you, it will be easier to tame if it doesn’t have a tranquilizer.
Project Pashneia, a scientific project by the Terran branch of Deities to produce any animals, monsters, or humans in terms of their own, developed Makara, urged by Kamadeva, more often known as Eros.
In 1982, the Makara was encountered by Bangla and Indian scientists that were investigate the ecology, behavior, and the role of the ecosystem and the mythology. However it didn't last long until in 1998 after Diana Spencer die, the Makaras were gossiping about the worst scenario if the world is going to be ended. Nilan's childhood friend, Olinila Karthik found a Makara pup out of nowhere in New Delhi, she decided to adopted it and this species is a male. Olinila was encountered by Nilan's true father, Karikaalan Pradep saw both what happened to Diana Spencer and Mother Teresa, and both have a great pain and sorrow, Karikaalan swore revenge against Abstergo when his right fist cracks.
Karikaalan cried and he was abducted by Abstergo Industries members for the execution until one of Makara want to free him, and the members were mauled by Makaras and Karikaalan was unharmed and gained response to Karikaalan, and he saw the homeless old man wants to help Karikaalan's child, Nilan to prevent the 1999 End of the World. The homeless old man himself was disguised by the Isu name Ganesha, he needs to help the strongest demigod was none other than Nilan Punzalan, Ganesha's allegedly descendant. The homeless crone herself was goddess Ganga, she watches Karikaalan's actions.
Karikaalan Pradep finally tames the Makara and he named it is Varun for his ex-wife and his son for the penultimate mission.
“ According to my studies, my opinion is that philosophers like Vishnu Sharma brave the unknown and strange things: the trunk of an elephant, the tail of a fish, the flippers of a river dolphin, and the body of a crocodile. My constellations still remain as their Capricorn. ”
